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.

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 1.5-2 fold and decreased total flow rate 2 fold. It was concluded that touch-compressions stimuli necessary for generation milk ejection reflex and milk ejection from the women mammary gland.

The levels of fibrinogen, monomeric fibrin soluble complexes (MFSC), fibrin-fibrinogen degradation products (FDP), and the status of blood coagulation and fibrinolytic systems were studied in girls suffering from juvenile uterine bleedings. Fibrinogen and MFSC levels were found lowered and FDP concentration increased in such bleedings. Fibrinogen concentration correlated with the activities of the coagulating and fibrinolytic systems, and the MFSC level only with the coagulating system activity. Mathematical analysis has revealed a relationship between blood fibrinogen metabolism and the activities of the coagulating and fibrinolytic systems, whose functions in this condition are relatively autonomous.

Females with viral and Mycoplasma infection were studied for the fetal and placental status. There was fetal growth retardation; disorders in fetal cardiac performance; placental dysfunction appeared as decreased levels of placental lactogen, chorionic gonadotropin, appeared signs of placental aging, decreased blood flow.

Appendectomy when performed at the pubertant age is considered to be an etiological factor causing a disturbance of the menstrual cycle in girls. While revising the internal genitals during appendectomy, it is necessary to differentiate possible pathological alterations in the ovaries from their physiological changes associated with functional peculiar features which are characteristic of the pubertant age.
