[Perinatal pathology and risk groups in postnatal ontogeny]. / Perinatal'naia patologiia i gruppy riska v postnatal'nom ontogeneze.

Perinatal pathology may become the cause of diseases in children and adults. Cardiovascular system of the foetus and placental vessels are examined in the toxicosis of the pregnancy, hypertension of pregnant mothers, immunological system and sex glands in large foetus, thyroid and sex glands of newborns. It is suggested that early atherosclerosis, myocardiopathy, sexual disturbances, endocrinopathy, immunodeficient states are consequences of pathological or "prepathological" development of certain organs and systems of the foetus.

[A new method of postmortem macroscopic diagnosis of the ischemic stage of myocardial infarction]. / Novyi metod posmertnoi makroskopicheskoi diagnostiki ishemicheskoi stadii infarkta miokarda.

In sudden death of ventricular fibrillation occurring in coronary patients a new method of postmortem thermographic macroscopic diagnosis of ischemic stage myocardial infarction was found helpful in identifying areas of myocardial ischemia topographically close to stenosing atherosclerosis and considered due to thrombosis of the major and intramural branches of coronary arteries. Radionuclide and histochemical investigations confirmed relevant thermographic findings.

[Features of treatment tactics in emboli in an artery with impaired blood flow]. / Osobennosti lechebnoi taktiki pri émboliiakh v arterii s narushennym magistral'nym krovotokom.

Results of surgical treatment of 203 embolisms in arteries of the extremities, including 127 embolisms in intact arteries, and 76 embolisms in atherosclerotic ones, are reported. Post-embolectomy regression of mild ischemia is shown to be unrelated to the condition of the artery. Severe ischemia in atherosclerotic arteries does not benefit from embolectomy alone; it must be supplemented by reconstructive surgery. Removing chronic obstruction to the main flow improved the success rate from 44 to 70%, as compared to embolectomy alone.

[Evaluation of the viability of an extremity and the dynamics and severity of ischemic changes in it during acute obstruction of the main arteries]. / Otsenka zhiznesposobnosti konechnosti, dinamiki i tiazhesti ishemicheskikh izmenenii v nei pri ostroi neprokhodimosti magistral'nykh arterii.

The authors propose a scheme for the estimation of severity of ischemic alterations in the extremity in acute ischemia in order to choose the optimal methods of treatment. In cases of mild ischemia the clinical estimation is sufficient, with the degree of the acute ischemia syndrome taken into account. In cases of severe ischemia the clinical assessment is found to be insufficient. Clear information was obtained by means of microscopic examination of biopsies of muscles by the original express method. Three types of ischemic injuries of the muscular tissue were distinguished as a basis for the estimation of the severity of ischemic alterations.
