Results of the complex diagnosis and surgical treatment of 180 patients with perforation of gastroduodenal ulcers were analyzed. It was shown that in pathogenesis of perforations of chronic gastroduodenal ulcers the leading place belonged to oxidizing stress. A pathogenetically grounded method of treatment of perforations of chronic gastroduodenal ulcers is an excision of the perforated ulcers in combination with vagotomy, but the method of treatment of perforations of "silent" ulcers is videolaparoscopic suture with endoscopic transgastgric chemical vagotomy.

Unlabelled: is to develop a method for diagnosing fungal keratitis based on the analysis of photographs of the anterior segment of the eye using deep learning algorithms with subsequent evaluation of sensitivity and specificity of the method on a test data set in comparison with the results of practicing ophthalmologists.
Materials And Methods: The study has included the stages of data acquisition, image pre-training and markup, selection of training approach and neural network architecture, training with input data augmentation, validation with hyperparameter correction, evaluation of algorithm performance on a test sample, and determination of sensitivity and specificity of fungal keratitis detection by practicing doctors. A total of 274 anterior segment images were used, including 130 photographs of the eyes affected by fungal keratitis and 144 photographs illustrating normal eyes, keratitis of other etiologies, and various anterior segment pathologies.
