[Clinical and computed tomographic comparisons of analysis of the condition in children with brain injury of 13-15 scores by the Glasgow Coma Scale on admission to hospital].

Clinical and computed tomographic comparisons were made in 590 children with mild brain injury (BI). The children admitted for BI of 13-15 scores assessed by the Glasgow coma scale (GCS) in the first hour after injury were examined. They all underwent brain computed tomography (CT), skull X-ray study, and neurological studies.

[Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on myocardial blood supply in patients with chronic ischemia of the lower extremities in the preoperative period].

ECG and central hemodynamic parameters were examined in 24 patients with chronic ischemia of lower extremities under the effect of a course of hyperbaric oxygenation, and were shown to be improved in 67% of the cases. Deteriorating ECG pattern in combination with unfavorable central hemodynamic changes, seen in 29%, suggest that electrocardiographic monitoring is essential during the hyperbaric oxygenation course, so that treatment regimen could be timely adjusted.

[Evaluation of the status of the distal arterial bed in occlusive lesions of major arteries of the extremities].

Kinesomanometry of the arterial bed was used as a diagnostic procedure allowing the assessment of resistance of the distal arterial bed before the reconstructive step of operation in 137 patients, subjected to restorative operation on major arteries. The method facilitates prognosis of early thrombosis of the vascular prosthesis.

[Results of the conservative treatment of patients with ischemia of the lower extremities by hyperbaric oxygenation].

A comparison is made of results of conservative treatment of 123 patients with ischemia of lower extremities of atherosclerotic genesis. It was shown that the maximum efficiency of the treatment was achieved by an associated application of pharmacological drugs and HBO. An analysis of angiograms has shown that the absence of collaterals is one of the causes of the HBO being inefficient.
