[Choice of components of general anesthesia in patients with concomitant fibrillation arrhythmia in surgery on organs of the abdominal cavity]. / Vybor komponentov obshchei anestezii u bol'nykh s soputstvuiushchei mertsiatel'noi aritmiei pri operatsiiakh na organakh briushnoi polosti.

The central hemodynamic parameters were studied in 45 patients with ciliary arrhythmia operated on the abdominal and pelvic organs under different anesthesia. Epidural anesthesia as a component of total anesthesia had a favorable impact on the hemodynamics of such patients, decreasing the heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and oxygen consumption by the myocardium; the authors emphasize a high efficacy of blocking the pituitary-adrenal stressor stimulation in combined anesthesia.

[Otomycoses in the Kuznetsk region and organization of medical services for this group of population]. / Otomikozy v Kuzbasse i organizatsiia pomoshchi dannoi gruppe bol'nykh.

In the Kuzbass region the author examined 238 patients, aged 15 to 80 years, with persistent otitis or inflammatory pathologies of the ears that could not be cured by routine therapy. As a result, in 90 patients (37.8%) otomycosis was diagnosed. Mycosis of the external acoustic meatus was identified in 43 patients (55 mycotic ears or 52.4%), fungal otitis media was found in 21 patients (22 ears or 20.9%), and mycosis of the postoperative cavity was detected in 26 patients (28 mycotic cavities or 26.7%). The following fungi occurred most frequently: Aspergillus niger (75.2%), Candida albicans (6.7%), and Penicillium flavum March (3.8%). In the presence of fungi the bacterial growth was less significant, thus indicating the predominant role of fungi during otomycosis. Nitrofungin and clotrimazol in combination with 1% decamine ointment were effectively used in the treatment. A good antipruritic drug was 7% chloracetophose ointment. Out of 90 patients complete regression was recorded in 84 cases, with 6 patients having relapses.
