ABSTRACT
Indications for application of lumbar sympathectomy (LS) in chronic arterial insufficiency of the lower extermities are analyzed. The results of the use of lumbar chemical desympathisation under computer tomography (CT) control in 10 patients are represented. Prevalences of chemical desympathisation and LS were revealed which allow us to recommend it for clinical practice.

Presents a quantitative assessment of the total content of minerals in bones of 50 diabetics and 50 controls, carried out by a modified photodensitometric procedure. The data evidence a significant reduction of the mineral content in the bones of diabetes mellitus patients, this permitting an earlier detection of osteoporosis in the course of diabetes.

In roentgenological examination of 40 patients suffering from diabetes mellitus bone and articular changes were revealed in 65% of cases. They were equally incident in patients of both sexes. These changes did not depend directly on the severity and duration of diabetes mellitus, although they were more frequent in persons with the widespread micro- and macroangiopathies and other complications of this disease. A case of osteoarthropathy occurring in a young patient given no antidiabetic treatment for a period of several years is presented.
