[Peculiarities of sanitary and epidemiological (preventive) measures aimed at contraction and spread control of Ebola virus disease].

Now the Ebola virus continues to extend in the Western Africa. Cases, including with lethal outcomes are also registered in the countries of Europe and America. The probability of drift of this disease on the territory of the Russian Federation, including through the foreign military personnel who is trained in the country isn't excluded. For prevention of drift and distribution in Russia of the illness caused by the Ebola virus the complex of sanitary and anti-epidemic (preventive) actions is developed and introduced in practice of military health care. The specified actions allow to control an epidemiological situation on this infection and can be recommended for use to military medical experts at all levels.

[Adaptive immune response of people living near chemically hazardous object].

The article presents data dynamics of adaptive immune responses of people for a long time living in adverse environmental conditions caused by pollution of the environment by industrial toxic waste. It is shown that in the process of adaptation to adverse environmental factors, changes in the immune system are in the phase fluctuations of immunological parameters that are accompanied by changes in the structure of immunodependent pathology. Most sensitive to prolonged exposure to toxic compounds are the cellular mechanisms of immune protection. Violations of the structural and quantitative and functional parameters of the link of the immune system are leading to the formation of immunopathological processes.

[Tomoangiography in neurosurgical clinical practice]. / Tomoangiografiia v nirokhirurgicheskoi klinike

The method of tomoangiography was developed on the "Neuroprincips" apparatus (of CGR company, France) provided with a simultaneous casset (7 films every 0.3--0.5 cm) that permits to obtain linear slides up to 2 mm thick in any phase of cerebral circulation, and in any plane and position of the patient. The examinations were conducted in 51 patients: 16 with saccular aneurysms, 9 with arteriovenous malformations, 7 with carotid-cavernous fistulas, 16 with brain tumours, 3 with orbital pathology. In 42 patients the carotid artery system was examined, in 6--the ventebrobasilar one, in 3--the venous system of the orbit, in 3--the zone of the cavernous sinuses. Tomoangiography provided additional information on the borders and depth of various pathological formations in the brain.

[The diagnostic value of pneumotomoencephalography in patholigic processes in the region of the sella turcica]. / Diagnosticheskoe znachenie pnevmotomoéntsefalografii pri pathologicheskikh protsessakh v oblasti turetskogo sedla

The pneumotomoencephalographic procedure applied by the authors in pathological processes in the region of sella turcica is indicated in cases when during pneumocisternography the air fails to fully fill the chiasmal cisternae and it is impossible to obtain a clearcut idea about the presence and the size of the tumour. In such instances an additional introduction of 8--10 ml of air into the ventricular system permits it with a changed position of the patient's head to distinctly see on the tomogram the condition of the anterio-inferior portion of the III ventricle, which is the first to suffer from the compression or newgrowth proliferation in the region of sella turcica and in this way to obtain the primary roentgenological signs in the form of its filing defects. Pneumotomoencephalography was helpful in examining 74 patients with tumours in the region of sella turcica and suffering from sequelae of inflammatory affections. In all of these cases pneumotomoencephalography furnished better diagnostic results than did pneumocisternography. In the case of large-sized tumours compressing the CSF passages this procedure helps to readily establish the lower level of their occlusion.
