[Use of a program package for comparison of radiographic images of tissues during treatment].

The paper outlines some possibilities of evaluating the status of tissues with a software package in order to judge the efficiency of conservative treatment. The results are substantiated on the basis of clinical and experimental findings.

[Hyperbaric oxygenation and antiaggregants: effects on platelet function in patients with ischemic heart disease].

Platelet function (duration and percentage of aggregation and disaggregation) was studied in 65 chronic coronary patients over the course of hyperbaric oxygenation and antiaggregant therapy. A course of hyperbaric oxygenation (8 to 12 sessions at absolute atmosphere of 1.3-1.

[Hyperbaric oxygenation and antianginal agents: effects on blood levels of malondialdehyde and activities of antioxidative enzymes in patients with ischemic heart disease].

The time course of serum levels of malonic dialdehyde and red blood cell activity of antioxidative enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, was assessed from the outcomes of hyperbaric oxygenation combined with antianginal therapy in 38 patients with functional classes II-III stable angina on effort without clinical manifestations of circulatory failure. Hyperbaric oxygenation involved 10-12 sessions at 1.5 ata during 40 min each.

[Hyperbaric oxygenation and antianginal preparations: the effect of a single combined use on the functional indices of the state of the heart in patients with angina pectoris].

Using electrocardiographic technique, the effect of a single hyperbaric oxygenation session (O2 pressure 1.5 atm, duration 40 min) in combination with antianginal drugs (nifedipine--20 mg, propranolol--40 mg, nitrong--6.5 mg, orally) on central hemodynamics and myocardial contractility has been studied in 35 patients with ischemic heart disease and angina pectoris of effort, NYHA functional class II-III.

[Interaction of hyperbaric oxygenation with nifedipine and propranolol at the level of autonomic regulation of the heart in patients with angina pectoris].

Thirty three males suffering from coronary heart disease, Functional Classes II-III exercise-induced angina pectoris were examined for changes occurred in autonomic cardiac regulatory parameters under the influence of a normobaric oxygenation session (control), a hyperbaric oxygenation session (oxygen pressure 1.5 atm, duration 40 min), and combined normo- and hyperbaric oxygenation with nifedipine (oral corinfar, 20 mg, n = 18), and propranolol (oral inderal, 40 mg, n = 15) sessions. Variation of pulse and statistical analysis of cardiac rhythm were used in the study.
