[Sanitization of bronchial pathways by electrochemically activated solution of 0.8% potassium chloride]. / Sanatsiia bronkhial'nykh putei élektrokhimicheski aktivirovannym rastvorom 0,8% khlorida kaliia.

The authors suggest a new method for sanitation of the bronchial pathways, making use of electrochemically activated solution of 0.8% potassium chloride, pN 2.5-3.0, that results in rapid fibrin lysis, microflora death and elimination of the purulent discharge from the bronchial routes, alleviation of inflammatory edema and pain. The solution is simple to make and use, economic, and brings about a rapid effect, giving no allergic reactions.

[Flowmetry in the evaluation of hemodynamics of the lower limbs in chronic ischemia]. / Floumetricheskaia otsenka gemodinamiki nizhnykh konechnostei pri khronicheskoi ishemii.

Regional hemodynamics in the lower limbs was studied in 250 patients (480 lower limbs) with obliterative lesions of the abdominal aorta and lower limb arteries. Six levels of blood circulation were examined: the iliac segment, the femoral segment, the popliteal and tibial segments, the circulatory channels of the foot and toes. The suggested complex method of ultrasonic measurement of the blood flow in the lower limbs makes it possible to evaluate the hemodynamic significance of the collaterals and the adverse effect of the pathologically changed arterial segment on the regional hemodynamics. The conducted noninvasive study of hemodynamics allows the initial stages of the lesion to be detected (which physical examination fails to do in some cases) and adequate tactics of stage-by-stage treatment by surgery to be elaborated. The outcome of the reconstructive operation can be prognosed by determining the patency of the arterial arch of the foot and the leg arteries.
