[Characteristic of disorders of motor-evacuator activities of the stomach and intestinal in chronic duodenal insufficiency].

Aim: To assess the psychoemotional status and the state of the autonomic nervous system and their importance in the violation of the motor-evacuation function of the gastrointestinal tract in chronic duodenal insufficiency (CDI).

Materials And Methods: A prospective study of 40 patients with CDI was carried out. The control group consisted of 30 healthy individuals.

Energy loss of argon in a laser-generated carbon plasma.

The experimental data presented in this paper address the energy loss determination for argon at 4 MeV/u projectile energy in laser-generated carbon plasma covering a huge parameter range in density and temperature. Furthermore, a consistent theoretical description of the projectile charge state evolution via a Monte Carlo code is combined with an improved version of the CasP code that allows us to calculate the contributions to the stopping power of bound and free electrons for each projectile charge state. This approach gets rid of any effective charge description of the stopping power.

[Efficiency of ramipril treatment in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis complicated by chronic cor pulmonale].

The supplementation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor ramipril to combined therapy in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis complicated by chronic cor pulmonale resulted in positive central, pulmonary, and peripheral hemodynamic changes, improved peripheral tissue oxygenation, by exerting beneficial effects on the course of the disease.
