[Surgical tactics in cancer of the colon complicated by the inflammatory process]. / Khirurgicheskaia taktika pri rake obodochnoi kishki, oslozhnennom vospalitel'nym protsessom.

Patients with mild forms of inflammatory complications of carcinoma of the colon should be operated upon after completing the complex conservative treatment with the application of antibiotics and in subsided acute inflammatory process. Radical operations must be performed at the first stage of the surgical treatment of the patients. Such complications as perifocal abscesses, perforation of the tumor, diastatic perforations are considered to be contraindications to a one-step reestablishment of the colonic continuity after left-side resections. Lethality among radically operated patients with carcinoma of the colon complicated by an inflammation or perforation made up 25%.

[Use of color contact thermography for diagnosing aortic and iliac artery diseases]. / Primenenie tsvetnoi kontaktnoi termografi dlia diagnostiki zabolevaniia aorty i podvzdoshnykh arterii.

The coloured contact thermography may be used as an additional method for diagnosis of diseases of the abdominal aorta and its major branches. In cases with aneurysms of the abdominal aorta the coloured thermograms showed the increased skin temperature of the frontal abdominal wall over its projection. The method may be used for differential diagnosis of the aneurysm and occlusion of the abdominal aorta.

[Microflora in colonic cancer complicated by an inflammatory process]. / Mikroflora pri rake obodochnoi kishki, oslozhnennom vospalitel'nym protsessom.

The microbiological investigation was performed in 53 patients with carcinoma of the colon, 32 of them having inflammatory complications of the tumor. High incidence of the infected state of the tumor surface, infected regional lymph nodes and regional venous blood was noted especially by enterobacteria. The bacteria isolated were found to be highly resistant to most widely used antibiotics. For the antibiotics to have a bacteriostatic or bactericidal effect, they must be used in great doses which must be often higher than therapeutically admitted ones.

[Color contact thermography in the diagnosis of breast diseases]. / Tsetnaia kontaktnaia termografiia v diagnostike zabolevanii molochno2 zhelezy.

One hundred of women with diseases of the mammary gland were examined. Breast cancer was found in 31 patients, 65 patients had various benign tumors, 4 women had chronic mastitis. Breast cancer was manifested by pronounced focal elevation of temperature over the tumor, temperature asymmetry of mammary glands, uneven boundaries of hyperthermia focus with "pathways" of hyperthermia running from the tumor to regional lymph nodes (in 75% of cases) even when no metastases are found histologically. Patients with alterations in the mammary glands referred to as precancerous, are thermographically characterized by focal hyperthermia with distinct boundaries. Nonproliferating forms of fibroadenoma, as a rule, do not manifest themselves by focal pictures without changes in the general background of the thermogram.
