[Characteristics of studying and demonstrating hazardous effects of tobacco smoking in experiment]. / Nekotorye osobennosti izucheniia i demonstratsii gubitel'nogo deistviia kureniia tabaka v éksperimente.

Modern medicine considers the tobacco smoking to be the chronic poisoning that has the mass character. The experience of many years shows that sanitary-and-educational measures explaining the injurious effect of tobacco smoking in some cases give no positive results. Convincing pedagogical influence together with experimental investigations make the struggle against smoking more effective. Use of the portable personal device "Manual on medicine" reveals the mechanism of protective action of filtering materials and demonstrates the clinical picture of acute intoxication caused by toxic gases of tobacco smoke.

[Current aspects of radiographic diagnosis of pelvis and pelvic organ traumas in peace and wartime conditions (review of the literature)]. / Sovremennye aspekty luchevoi diagnostiki travm taza i tazovykh organov v usloviiakh mirnogo i voennogo vremeni (obzor literatury).

The injuries of pelvis and pelvic organs remain one of the difficult problems of surgery in military and peace-time. The detection of pathologic changes in the cases of pelvic traumas depends on the time, quality and volume of radial investigations. The rule that any pelvic injury is considered as the complicated one until the opposite will be proved determines the diagnostic algorithm of roentgenologic examination, and the contrast methods are of great importance. The perspective method of for investigating the casualties with severe combined pelvic trauma is the spiral computed tomography. The investigation of casualties with pelvis and pelvic organ traumas must be conducted at the shortest periods after the trauma using the whole complex of radial investigative methods both the conventional roentgenologic and imaging methods.

[Experimental study of the interaction of phages and bacteria in the environment]. / Eksperimental'noe izuchenie vzaimodeistviia fagov i bakterii vo vneshnei srede.

For the first time the possibility of the interaction of phages and bacterial cells in the environment, consisting in the adsorption and subsequent replication of viral particles, has been shown. The data obtained in this investigation provide grounds for using phages in the environment. Experiments with Escherichia coli M-17 and phage FM17, carried out on experimental models, have demonstrated that the use of phages in the environment completely prevents the realization of the transfer of enteral infections through everyday contacts and the contamination of children and adults under hospital conditions.
