[A new type of pleurocercoids in the genus Diphyllobothrium from smelts in the Far East of the USSR]. / Novyi tip plerotserkoidov roda Diphyllobothrium iz koriushkovykh Dal'nego Vostoka SSSR.

The research has demonstrated that 35.8% of Hypomesus pretiosus Girard and 55.9% of Osmerus eperlanus dentex Steindachner in various regions of the Far East of the USSR (Khabarovsk and Primorye territories and Sakhalin) are affected by diphyllobothriid larvae of a hitherto unknown type, indicated as the G type. Parasites are localized on the internal organs of a intermediate host such as esophagus, stomach, liver and genital organs. Diphyllobothriid larvae of the G type do not invade man, thus the indicated fishes are not epidemiologically significant in spreading diphyllobathriasis among the population in the Far East of the USSR.

[Method of closing the anterior and middle portions of the hard palate in uranoplasty]. / Sposob zakrytiia perednego i srednego otdelov tverdovo neba pri uranoplastike.

A new method of closing the anterior and middle portions in surgical treatment of cleft palate is proposed. The method allows obtaining the necessary reserve of plasty material, optimal adaptation of the wound surface margins and gives complete closing of the palate defects. The method proposed was used in operations on 6 patients with different forms of the cleft palate. Good results were obtained.

[The classification of congenital clefts and defects of the palate after uranoplasty. The clinico-embryo-pathogenetic principles]. / Klassifikatsiia vrozhdennykh rasshchelin i iz''ianov neba posle uranoplastiki. Kliniko-émbriopatogeneticheskie printsipy.

The authors suggest classifying palatal clefts as an individual nosological entity resultant from impaired differentiation, growth, and fusion of primary embryonal structures forming the palate as an anatomical structure. Definition of the palatal interface on the basis of the embryo-pathogenetic principle underlies the working classification of palatal defects developing after uranoplasty.
