[An evaluation of conductometric methods for determining circulating blood volume]. / Otsenka konduktometricheskikh metodov opredeleniia ob''ema tsirkuliruiushchei krovi.

An analysis of the theory and practical check-up of the methods of determination of the circulating blood volume by the conductometric methods in 86 surgical patients with different phases of compensation of disturbance of water-electrolyte metabolism have shown them to be incompetent. The authors propose a new way to search for and develop a noninvasive impedance measurement method of determination of the extracellular fluid on the basis of Thomasset principle corresponding to possibilities and specific features of national rheographic apparatus.

[Clinico-social aspects of arterial hypertension in the population of the Karelian ASSR]. / Kliniko-sotsial'nye aspekty arterial'noi gipertenzii u naseleniia Karel'skoi ASSR.

In accordance to the complex programme of "Region" in February-May 1985 mobile medical teams of the Military Academy of Medicine named after S. M. Kirov conducted a sample screening of inhabitants in 15 regions and 2 cities of the Karelian ASSR. Arterial hypertension (AH) was detected in 13.6%, renal arterial hypertension (RAH) in 11.4%, hypertensive disease (HD) in 14.3% of persons screened. It was found that excess body weight considerably increased the risk of HD especially in women under 40 years of age. In 37.1% of persons screened HD was detected for the first time which suggested the need for the improvement of follow-up system for all persons with AH and RAH along with the improvement of screening procedures to provide for more precise diagnoses.
