ABSTRACT
Patients with ischemic dilatation cardiomyopathy are most difficult to control symptoms of cardiac insufficiency (CI). Analysis of survival, results of cardiac chamber remodeling, and severity of CI in 192 patients showed that the optimal outcome of the treatment is on the average achieved in case of surgical revascularization combined with correction of ischemic atrioventricular insufficiency.

The pneumococcal origin of purulent otitis was diagnosed in 74 (35 percent) of 211 children, in whom acute respiratory viral diseases or purulent otitis were previously diagnosed, by a combination of indirect immunofluorescence, cytobacterioscopic and culture methods. Use of indirect immunofluorescence and of special medium for isolation of atypical forms of the agent (L-forms and unbalanced growth forms) helped diagnose pneumococcal otitis in 47 (22.3 percent) more patients.
