[Genetic structure and the load of hereditary diseases in five populations of Arkhangel'skaia region].

A population and medical genetic investigation was performed in a number of raions in the Arkhangel' skaya oblast. Random inbreeding coefficients were 0.000358 and 0.000361 in the Vinogradovskii and Krasnoborskii raions. Malecot's local inbreeding coefficients were 0.000565 and 0.000472, respectively. The endogamy indices were 0.37 and 0.54, respectively. In the urban population, the loads of autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked pathology were 1.01 and 0.98 per 1000 individuals, and 0.29 per 1000 men; in the rural population, they were 1.22, 1.55, and 1.08, respectively. In the populations studied, the hereditary pathology spectrum is described.

[The clinical picture and pathogenetic problems in low-pressure glaucoma].

Dynamic examinations of 78 patients with a primary diagnosis of glaucoma with low intraocular pressure and 25 persons without disturbances in intraocular pressure regulation, using up-to-date adequate methods--ultrasound dopplerography, rheography, fluorescence angiography, electron tonography, as well as other traditional methods, allow to make a conclusion that glaucoma with low intraocular pressure is a variant of the development of a typical open-angle glaucoma complicated by involutional changes in the body in a form of chronic vascular deficiency (chronic ischemic neuropathy of the eye). Glaucoma with low pressure should be differentiated from ischemic neuropathy or its outcome. The criterium for a diagnosis of low pressure glaucoma is the presence of changes in hydrodynamic and their progression (intensification of retention in reduced level of intraocular fluid outflow), positive results of unloading tests. A term "primary open-angle glaucoma, chronic vascular deficiency" is proposed.
