ABSTRACT
The amount of D-dimer in the mixed saliva of healthy individuals and patients with comorbidities has been investigated. It has been established that the level of D-dimer in saliva increases with age regardless of pathology. The highest values were found in patients with erosive gastritis.

Definition of the most important factors and their combination, causing the disturbances of heart rhythm in patients with the pulmonary tuberculosis and diabetes, now attracts more and more attention. For this purpose, extensively used the capabilities of multifactorial analysis, which allowed to evaluate the distribution of the pathological factors and their interaction with each other. The objects of the study were complex examination the data of 90 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes-27, non-insulin- dependent diabetes-63). In the mathematical processing of the instrumental methods we analyzed the results of echocardiography, indicators of respiratory function and the results of the Holter ECG monitoring. The use multifactorial mathematical analysis has allowed to establish the most significant pathogenetic factors and their combinations, causing disrhythmogenesis. In patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and diabetes with a combinations of right ventricular hypertrophy with a tendency to pulmonary hypertension and respiratory function parameters most commonly observed ventricular arrhythmias. On the occurrence of supraventricular arrhythmia mainly influenced by pulmonary hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.

The study was undertaken to examine 45 patients with Stages IIB-III heart failure (HF) by the classification developed by V. Kh. Vasilenko and N. D. Strazhesko. Thirty patients had laser therapy in addition to the routine treatment, 15 patients served as a control group. The combined drug treatment along with laser therapy in patients substantially improved peripheral circulatory parameters than in the controls. There was a positive dynamics of central hemodynamic parameters as shown by lower left ventricular volumes and higher myocardial contractile and pump functions. Improvement of microcirculatory and central hemodynamic parameters in patients treated with laser occurred in earlier periods of hospital stay than in the controls.
