[Experience in attracting co-workers at a department of clinical laboratory diagnosis to diagnostic and therapeutic work]. / Opyt privlecheniia sotrudnikov kafedr klinicheskoi laboratornoi diagnostiki k diagnosticheskogo-lechebnoi rabote.

The experience gained by the Lvov City Clinical Hospital for Emergencies evidences the usefulness of participation of the workers of clinical diagnosis chairs in practical diagnostic and therapeutic work, for it considerably reduces the number of diagnostic errors. The authors consider such cooperation between practicing physicians and laboratory workers (many of them are not physicians) very useful and recommend to change the system of training in laboratory diagnosis at specialized and advanced training courses so that the number of physicians working at clinical diagnosis laboratories be increased.

[Mechanism of organ damage in hyperthromboplastinemia unrelated to hypoxia]. / Ne sviazannyi s gipoksiei mekhanizm povrezhdeniia organov pri gipertromboplastinemii.

Hyperthromboplastinemia in rats and dogs was induced by the infusion of xenogenic or allogenic brain suspension or extract. The suspension caused fatal blood coagulation due to fibrin-platelet isolation of cytolemma fractions. The infusion of extracts produced hypotension, caused by hyperkininemia, and primary hypocoagulation due to simultaneous fibrin-formation and fibrinolysis. Severe hepatic, renal and myocardial lesions were discovered 3-4 min after the allogenic brain extract infusion. Xenogenic brain infusion caused inverse changes. The mechanism of this phenomenon is unknown. The organs were affected by lysosomal enzymes activated not by hypoxia but by thrombin- and plasmin-induced glycocalix destruction.
