[The diagnosis of a cystic duct blockade in patients with chronic cholecystitis]. / Raspoznavanie blokady puzyrnogo protoka u bol'nykh khronicheskim kholetsistitom.

The authors describe a method of complex examination of patients with diseases of the external biliary tract with the aim of diagnosing cystic duct blocks. Intravenous cholangiography using billignost and albumin in 2:1 ratio proved highly effective. Of essential help in the diagnosis of cystic duct block was dynamic ultrasonic examination. Cystic duct block is a distinct sign of cholecystitis requiring operative intervention.

[Functional state of the stomach after gastrectomy and vagotomy and the ways of improving the results of surgical treatment of peptic ulcer]. / Funktsional'noe sostoianie zheludka posle rezektsii i vagotomii i puti uluchsheniia rezul'tatov khirurgicheskogo lecheniia iazvennoi bolezni.

A complex examination of 286 patients was performed after gastric resection by the method of Hofmeister-Finsterer, 64 patients after truncal vagotomy with antrum-resection, 14--after selective proximal vagotomy with draining operations and 26--without draining operation. Time for the recovery of motor-evacuatory function of the stomach after organ-preserving operations was considerably shorter than after resection of the stomach. In order to shorten the period of adaptation of the digestion organs after operative treatment of ulcer disease a complex of rehabilitating measures is proposed including percutaneous electrostimulation, diet, balneological and medicamentous therapy. It allowed the terms of temporary invalidity to become average 2 weeks shorter and to improve results of surgical treatment of ulcer disease.
