[Postmortem assessment of labor from changes in the skull and brain in fetuses and newborn infants].

The paper gives data on the ways of identifying the pattern of head insertion, wire point, the degree of head flexion and extension, asynclitism, and configuration from the fetal and neonatal skull. The findings are important for the assessment of the course of labor and the quality of its management and for the diagnosis of birth injury. Emphasis is laid on the significance of brain compression in the genesis of fetal asphyxia.

[A device for cryovacuum treatment]. / Ustroistvo dlia kriovakuumnogo lecheniia.

The advised new unit comprises in its design the possibility of using 2 different physically influential factors--low vacuum 50-25 K Pa (0.5-0.25 kgf/cm2) and super cooling (liquid nitrogen), which speeds up the distruction and further rejection of the pathological tissues being located within the limited area and protecting the surrounding healthy tissues from the harmful influence of the super-low temperatures. This unit shortens the period of treatment when the criogenic technology is used.

[Electric dental analgesia apparatus with increased stabilization of the operating current]. / Elektricheskii zubnoi obezbolivatel' s povyshennoi stabilizatsiei rabochego toka

To improve the construction of the existing (formula: see text) apparatus intended for relief of pain during treatment of hard dental tissues a new version of this unit with a higher stabilization of the operating current--model (formula: see text) -- has been designed. In it the intensity of the current is adjustable within the range of 1 to 30 micronA. Power supply from the mains and from the storage battery "Krona" is provided for in the apparatus.

[Experience with the use of an experimental device for treatment of the mouth in patients with diseases and injuries of the maxillofacial area]. / Opyt ispol'zovaniia éksperimental'nogo ustroistva dlia ukhoda za polost'iu rta pri zabolevaniiakh i povrezhdeniiakh cheliustno-litsevoi oblasti.

High efficacy of a proposed device for oral cavity care in patients with diseases and damages of maxillofacial region was demonstrated during clinical trials. Owing to its engineering characteristics maintenance and exploitation of the device are not difficult.
