[Renal tumors and pregnancy].

The article presents a retrospective analysis of literature data on combination of renal tumors with pregnancy, three cases are reported. The diagnostic algorithm in such patients is based, first of all, on ultrasonography, in complicated cases MR imaging is used. Therapeutic policy depends on the tumor stage and size, pregnancy term.

[Spontaneous ruptures of renal tumors].

Spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhages are a rare but severe complication of retroperitoneal organs and tissues disorders. For the last five years we treated 10 patients (7 females and 3 males) with spontaneous subcapsular or paranephral hematoma resultant from renal tumor rupture. Morphologically, 4 tumors were renal angiomyolipoma and 6 tumors--renal cell carcinoma.

[The use of endovascular laser therapy in the combined treatment of EPH gestosis].

Endovascular exposure to He-Ne laser in combination with routine therapy used in 61 pregnant women with OPH gestosis improved the results of treatment in comparison with the results in 30 women administered routine treatment alone. The efficacy of laser therapy is confirmed by its positive influence on induced lipid peroxidation, peroxide hemolysis, low- and medium-mass molecules, and by the data of routine clinical laboratory studies. Laser exposure stabilized the red cell membranes, this evidently improving the blood rheology and microcirculation in patients suffering from OPH gestosis.

[The role of vacuum and tactile stimuli during milk ejection from the human breast].

Milk ejection in lactating women was performed by breast pump with vacuum and tactile (touch-compression) components. It was found that milk flow rate changed in a pulsatile manner at about 1-2 min interval and peaks milk flow coincided with peaks intramammary. Switch off the tactile component increased the latency of milk ejection 1.
