[Clinical and functional manifestations of infundibuliform deformity of the chest]. / Klinicheskie i funktsional'nye proiavleniia voronkoobraznoi deformatsii grudnoi kletki.

The clinical picture, respiration function, the condition of the cardiovascular system and metabolism were studied in 102 patients with congenital funnel chest; their ages ranged from 16 to 34 years. The revealed cardio-respiratory and metabolic shifts were caused by the deformity of the chest. After thoracoplasty with a good cosmetic effect the functional disorders are normalized 1-2 years after the operation.

[Effect of acute hypoxia on the indices of kidney excretory function and renal hemodynamics]. / Vliianie ostroi gipoksii na nekotorye pokazateli vydelitel'noi funktsii pochek i pochechnoi gemodinamiki.

Diuresis, glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption (endogenous creatinine clearance), renal blood and plasma flow, total resistance of renal vessels, and filtration fraction were measured in 59 patients with mechanical (strangulation) asphyxia. Asphyxia and resulting hypoxia induced a substantial increase of diuresis, glomerular filtration and a decrease of tubular reabsorption. Disorders of renal hemodynamics which involved a decrease of renal plasma and blood flow and an increase of total resistance of renal vessels contributed significantly to the mechanism of changes of the renal excretory function. As shown by vasographic and morphological examinations, the state of intrarenal hemodynamics plays the major role in changes of the renal function.
