The article presents the data of age, manifestation, localization and clinical features of course of Crohn's disease and nonspecific ulcerative colitis. A total of 85 children with Crohn's disease and 101 children with nonspecific ulcerative colitis have been under study

The research goal is to examine the lipid spectrum and to evaluate the effectiveness of somatropin therapy for correcting metabolic disorders in children with various forms of short stature. 60 children (30 with growth hormone deficiency and 30 with constitutional delayed growth) have been examined. Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein in blood serum have been studied before treatment and after one year of somatropin therapy. Atherogenic coefficient has been calculated. The results have been compared with the control group. Dyslipidemia characterized by increase of total cholesterol level (4.70±1.51 mmol/l) and low-density lipoprotein (2.46±1.04 mmol/l) has been found in children with growth hormone deficiency. 13.3% of those children had increased atherogenic coefficient. Increase of low-density lipoprotein level (2.64±0.39 mmol/l) and of high-density lipoprotein level (1.96±0.56 mmol/l) in children with constitutional delayed growth has been observed. Due to somatropin therapy these indicators have been normalized within the year in patients of both groups. Dyslipidemia remained stable in children with constitutional delayed growth, who did not receive somatropin treatment. The influence of growth hormone deficiency on dyslipidemia development in children with short stature and effectiveness of somatropin therapy for correcting lipids disorders have been demonstrated

The article analyses the modern state and the history of the extremely low birth-weight newborns problem. The specific medical characteristics of these newborns, connected with their morphofunctional immaturity, are presented. Definitions, diagnostics criteria and main sectors of medical care for patients with typical disorders of neonatal adaptation for this group are given. Substantial reasons for creating a complex program of early medical care are given, and the tasks of this program are formulated. Solving these tasks will provide safe survival of the extremely low birth-weight infants

50 newborns born at mothers with urogenital clamidiosis have been examined. Control group have made 25 newborns born at healthy mothers. Following methods of inspection were applied: anamnestic, clinical, neuroelektrophysi-ologic. As a result of research conclusions have been conclude . At perinatal lesions of central nervous system (CNS), in consequence of clamidiosis infection, the picture of bioelectric activity of a brain of the newborn is characterised by infringement of processes of formation of the basic rhythm and differentiation degree of cortical activity, the expressed residual organic changes and presence of signs of hypertension syndrome formation

The study involved 1315 patients with various forms of syphilis. In 282 patients neurosyphilis was diagnosed. The detailed description of clinical picture of disease and the results of laboratory studies are given. Questions of tactics of medical examination, modern classification of neurosyphilis forms are discussed. The actions are discussed, allowing to increase probability of a favorable outcome of disease

The new therapeutic method of functional regulation of movements (FRM) as a part of treatment course for children with cerebral paralysis was developed. It is an individual technique of consensual work of anatomically remote muscular groups. This approach provides the influence on mechanisms of pathological activity of central nervous system by means of including deep regulating processes representing ontogenetic programs of motor activity. This technique has the advantage of immediate formation of correct motor stereotype and highly individual approach that promotes increase of therapy effectiveness

The method of transcranial electrostimulation (TES) was used for treating patients with alcoholic encephalopathy against the background of the basic treatment, which includes nootropics, normotimics, soporifics, over-all strengthening therapy and other devices. The course of treatment consisted of 10 daily procedures lasting for 30 minutes. The TES influence was evaluated according to the clinical state, the neurologic status, including EEG (electroencephalogram), the psychometric scales were also used for evaluating the manifestation of depression, anxiety and working memory in comparison with appropriate indices in the control group of patients, who were being treated by the traditional method. TES led to normalization of health state, neurologic status and vegetative innervation, the reduction in pathologic inclination, which corresponded to general improvement of the state of patients, EEG indices and psychometric scales

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of heavy alcohol consumption on serum Malondialdehyde, homocysteine status and glutathione-S -transferase (GST) activities in alcoholics consuming illicit liquor from lower socioeconomic background attending deaddiction centre. The study was conducted in ninety alcoholic patients consuming illicit liquor from lower socio-economic background attending de-addiction centre and compared to healthy non alcoholic controls (n=90). Serum Malondialdehyde (MDA), serum homocysteine and activities of antioxidant enzyme glutathione-S - transferase (GST) were estimated. Alcoholics consuming illicit liquor attending de-addiction centre displayed significantly higher values of serum MDA concentration, serum homocysteine levels and serum GST activities as compared to their non alcoholic healthy controls belonging to the same socio-economic background. Our results indicate that increase in serum Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration marker of oxidative stress, serum homocysteine levels and serum glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activities may enhance the susceptibility to vascular diseases in heavy illicit drinkers with poor nutritional status

The description of investigation of predisposition to potential danger of collapse complications at 429 first-year students during physical training is presented using the analysis of pulse wave form. With the help of developed device the group of students with predisposition to risk of collapse complications during physical activity has been revealed. The results of clinical examination have confirmed the predisposition of the given group to risk of collapse complications

This study highlighted referral rate for X-rays with positive findings in an Emergency department of a tertiary care hospital in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. This was a retrospective review of Emergency department(ED) cards/files of patients visited (ED) of Alnoor Specialist Hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia, during the month of April, 2006G. The total of 660 (22%) out of 2980 ED patients were included in the study and 1472 X-rays of different regions were done for them. Majority 288 (43.3%) were below 24yrs of age while males 372 (56.3%) and Saudis 400 (60%) were predominant. The discharged patients were 572 (86.6%), and 4(0.6%) were died. Six hundred and twenty (93.9%) patients got exposures rang of 1-4 while only four (0.6%) got more than eight exposures to X-rays. It was found that lower limb was exposed 384 times (26%), followed by chest 320 (21.7%). Overall 240 (16.3%) X-rays had positive findings with majority of upper limb 60 (50%) followed by chest 72 (22.5%). Pelvis & perineum had no positive X-ray. Patients from injury & poisoning were predominant 224 (33.9%) followed by respiratory disorders 104 (15.7%). Eighty four percent X-rays had no positive findings. Majority of X-rays were done for lower limb. Neck, pelvis & perineum X-rays had no positive findings
