[The priorities of scientific research efforts in Ukraine on social hygiene and public health organization over the last decade]. / Prioritetnost' nauchnykh razrabotok v Ukraine po sotsial'noi gigiene i organizatsii zdravookhraneniia za poslednee desiatiletie.

A study is presented of the structure of research on the problem "Social hygiene and public health organization" and a detailed logometric analysis has been carried out of primary research data in the Ukraine during 1980-1989. Expertise values were used for determination of the priority and development, as well as practical significance of scientific trends in the Ukraine.

[Clinico-immunological substantiation of the use of rifampicin in the combined therapy of adults and adolescents with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis]. / Kliniko-immunologicheskoe obosnovanie primeneniia rifampitsina v kompleksnoi terapii vzroslykh i podrostkov s destruktivnym tuberkulezom legkikh.

The effect of various doses of rifampicin on intensity of rosette formation was studied, and the immunological criteria for selective use of the drug in combined specific chemotherapy of extended destructive tuberculosis of the lungs were determined. It was shown that differential use of rifampicin with an account of its administration multiplicity and route promoted a decrease in the hospitalization terms and increased rate of discontinuation of tubercle bacilli isolation and cavern healing. The clinicoroentgenological findings were confirmed by the immunological tests characterizing various elements of the immunity system in patients.

[Magnetophore therapy in the combined treatment of patients with obstructive bronchial diseases and its effect on immunological reactivity]. / Magnitoforoterapiia v kompleksnom lechenii bol'nykh s bronkho-obstruktivnymi zabolevaniiami i vliianie ee na immunologicheskuiu reaktivnost'.

Follow up of 93 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis and bronchial asthma enabled the authors to trace the effect of magnetophorotherapy combined with pathogenetic treatment on the disease progress, external respiration function, cardiovascular system, and immune responsiveness. It was shown that magnetophorotherapy is an effective therapy for bronchial obstruction, favouring the recovery and improvement of respiratory function, characteristics of the flow-volume curve. It also exerts a beneficial effect on different components of immunity.
