[A permanent magnetic field in the combined treatment of acute endometritis after an artificial abortion]. / Postoiannoe magnitnoe pole v kompleksnom lechenii ostrogo éndometrita posle iskusstvennogo aborta.

117 patients with acute endometritis after induced abortion were examined using markers of wound process phases and treated according to the original method. This consists in combination of constant magnetic field with other modalities. Application of the constant magnetic field produced a significant clinical response and reduced the hospital stay through positive effect on healing of the endometrial wound.

[Significance of prognostic factors in the treatment of tuboperitoneal infertility]. / Znachenie prognosticheskikh faktorov v lechenii trubnoperitoneal'nogo besplodiia.

The results of microsurgical treatment for tubo-peritoneal infertility are reported in 78 patients. Neosalpingostomy, combined with salpingo-ovariolysis, was performed in 51 patients, fimbriolysis and fimbrioplasty, in 8, tubal anastomosis in 7, and combined operations, in 12. Anatomical and functional assessment of the postoperative tubes was made using roentgeno-television hysterosalpingography, tubal insufflation and dynamic scintigraphy. Postoperative rehabilitation was supplemented by physical factors affecting tubal motility (supratonic frequency currents, tubal electrostimulation) with regard to the type of functional tubal disorder. Tubal patency was regained in 74.4%, and reproductive capacity, in 20.5% of the patients.

[Prenatal diagnosis of mannosidosis using chorion villi]. / Prenatal'nyi diagnoz mannozidoza s ispol'zovaniem vorsin khoriona.

The prenatal diagnosis of mannosidosis was carried out in one at-risk fetus by the analysis of chorionic villi obtained after 9 weeks of pregnancy. The diagnosis was based on the absence of acid alpha-mannosidase activity as determined by specific enzyme assay. The activity of two other lysosomal hydrolases (beta-galactosidase and beta-hexosaminidase) in chorion biopsy specimen was similar to the control values. The enzymatic diagnosis was confirmed after studies of fetal tissue.

[Microsurgical treatment of tubal sterility]. / Mikrokhirurgicheskoe lechenie trubnogo besplodiia.

PIP: The pathology and genesis of tubal sterility are reviewed and various methods of treatment are discussed. It is shown that in many cases conservative methods are ineffective and, therefore, restorative surgical operations should be performed. Microsurgery opens new avenues in the treatment of tubal sterility by enabling gynecologists to determine the condition of tissues and reduce their traumatization. Synthetic suture materials help to prevent the pronounced inflammatory reaction that occurs with catgut and silk. Microsurgery reduces the risk of postoperative commisures. Most of the microsurgical operations on uterine tubes are performed to restore their permeability in cases of tubal sterility. Microsurgical technology can be used to transplant uterine tubes, with complete restoration of blood circulation. Various prosthetics are utilized to maintain permeability of the tubes after the microsurgery has been completed. The effectiveness of microsurgical treatments depends, to a great extent, on the proper selection of patients and their postoperative monitoring. Microsurgery should be performed by the most qualified surgeons and only in hospitals which are adequately equipped for thorough preoperative examinations, complex postoperative rehabilitation, and longterm postoperative monitoring.^ieng
