[Distant thermography in the diagnosis of digestive organ diseases in children]. / Distantsionnaia termografiia v diagnostike zabolevanii organov pishchevareniia u detei.

The authors review the most urgent problems of alimentary diseases in children: diagnosis, differential diagnosis and early detection with the use of remote thermography, an up-to-date noninvasive and atraumatic research method. The method was demonstrated to be highly informative in diseases such as gastroduodenitis, peptic ulcer, chronic pancreatitis and others. The significance of remote thermography in revealing functional pathology of the alimentary organs in children is emphasized.

[Devices simplifying research on the Rubin-2 thermograph]. / Ustroistva, sposobstvuiushchie uproshcheniiu issledovaniia na teplovizore "Rubin-2".

A changed position of the mirror-reflector in the Rubin-2 thermovision unit as well as the use of an improved model of the couch-chair and a special cassette for electrochemical paper reduce the labour input and raise the information value of the method.

[Cardiovascular disorders, autonomic disorders and atherogenic dyslipoproteinemias in young women with the sclerotic ovary syndrome]. / Serdechno-sosudistye rasstroistva, vegetativnye narusheniia i aterogennye dislipoproteidemii u molodykh zhenshchin s sindromom sklerokistoznykh iaichnikov.

The authors studied 158 young women with the syndrome of sclerocystic ovaries (SCO) and 40 healthy subjects. The patients showed a high rate of vegetovascular dystonia, predominantly according to the hyperparasympathicotonic type, cardialgia and dyspnea. In 54.5% of the patients lipid metabolism disturbances of the atherogenic nature were elicited, being most pronounced in the hypothalamic-pituitary form of the disease. It is postulated that in cases of the SCO syndrome, the deficit of estrogens and pregnanediol decreases "immunity" of females to the development of atherogenic dyslipoproteinemias while a relative or absolute hyperandrogenia accounts for the transformation of the "female" type of the lipid spectrum into the "male" type with lower levels of cholesterol of high density lipoproteins (LP) and higher levels of TG, and cholesterol of very low density LP and of low density LP. It is recommended that the SCO syndrome should be included into the risk factors for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
