ABSTRACT
Serious disturbances of nasal aerodynamics contribute to the development of diseases of the broncho-pulmonary apparatus. The early recognition of ventilation problems in patients with the curved nasal septum is paramount for the efficacious prevention and treatment of respiratory complications. The authors describe principles of rhinosurgical correction of affected nasal aerodynamics in patients with the curved nasal septum.

The effect of 5-methoxytryptamine (5-HT(4) receptor agonist) on the inotropic function of atrial myocardium was studied in children aged 2 months to 17 years, operated on for congenital heart disease. Functional activity of 5-HT(4) receptors was 8.4 times higher in dysfunction of the atrial septum in comparison with other congenital heart diseases. The positive inotropic effects of 5-HT(4) receptor agonist can promote compensation of myocardial work in children with pathological circulation.

67 patients with acute diffused peritonitis aged from 2 to 15 years were examined. The arterial and central venous blood pressure, contractile function of the myocardium, peripheral and central blood flow were estimated. It has been found that functional shifts of the cardiovascular system occur at the early stage of the disease and advances as it develops.
