[The enhancement of the efficacy of patient orthodontic treatment based on the mathematical modelling of prospective implant designs]. / Povyshenie éffektivnosti ortopedicheskogo lecheniia bol'nykh na osnove matematicheskogo modelirovaniia perspektivnykh konstruktsii implantatov.

Opportunities to increase prosthetic treatment efficiency by means of applying osseointegrated implants of traditional and prospective types are analysed. A technique of mathematical modelling of the interaction between implants and jaw bone is exposed. The numerical model and applied program, developed on the basis of finite element method, enabling to analyse a stress strain state of the bone and to determine extreme safe loads on implants are described. It is shown, that the most loaded zone is a layer of the compact bone directly contiguous to the neck of the implant. That is in good agreement with the results of clinical research, according to which just this zone has the highest percentage of complications. Methods for further optimisation of implants and prosthetic structures for the purpose to perfect the techniques of prosthetic treatment are discussed.

[Load tests in silent myocardial ischemia and latent heart failure in patients with IHD and intermittent claudication]. / Nagruzochnye proby pri bezbolevoi ishemii miokarda i skrytoi serdechnoi nedostatochnosti u bol'nykh IBS i peremezhaiushcheisia khromotoi.

244 patients with ischemia of the lower limbs were treated surgically in the specialized cardiovascular center. No lethal outcomes were reported because previously derived algorithm of detecting silent myocardial ischemia in patients with intermittent claudication and load tests (bicycle ergometry and drug stress tests) had allowed the surgeons to ascertain the extent of coronary damage and detect subclinical cardiac failure. Valid assessment of cardiac factors enabled the right choice between surgical and therapeutic methods and staging of the procedures.

[The clinical assessment of the efficacy of using a biogenic composite material in dental implantology]. / Klinicheskaia otsenka éffektivnosti primeneniia biogennogo kompozitsionnogo materiala v dental'noi implantologii.

A new biogenic composite material based on hydroxyapatite and collagen with silamine was effectively used in dental implantology. Use of this material was conductive to a better course of the implant integration in the adjacent tissue structures and prevented the development of resorptive and atrophic changes in the alveolar process. Use of composite material in patients with relative indications for implantation precluded the development of complications in the early postoperative period and in remote periods of the follow-up.

Basic differences were found in changes of excitation propagation velocities and positive potential amplitude in the groups examined. A local increase in R wave areas on the maps of positive potential differences was found to be the most significant mapping sign of transient myocardial ischemia (the sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy being more than 97%). The diagnostic accuracy of an absolute or relative increase in the integral time and amplitude parameters of the mapping was 77% and 70%, respectively.
