[A clinico-epidemiological study of opisthorchiasis in the Altai Territory].

Eighty-eight patients with opisthorchiasis were treated with biltricide in an anthropurgic and natural focus of opisthorchiasis in the Altai Territory. A one-day course of drug therapy, in a total dose of 60 mg/kg, was administered. Forty-two patients developed side effects in the course of therapy. Complete elimination of the helminths was achieved in 83 (94.3 +/- 2.3%; p less than 0.05) patients in 6 months after therapy.

[Staged oxygen therapy for the prevention of oxidative stress in children with acute respiratory insufficiency].

The oxidant-antioxidant balance was investigated in 34 children with acute respiratory insufficiency before and during the oxygenotherapy. According to our results, the oxidant system activity was high among patients at exacerbation due to the antioxidant-protection inhibition. The processes of free-radical oxidization sharply intensify themselves during the oxygenotherapy with high FiO2. The activity of the antioxidant-protection enzymes recover partially and the oxidant-system parameters go down, which enabled us to suggest that the described technique is the safest oxygen-based method.

[Procedure for determining the initiation of tube feeding in children in an intensive care unit].

A procedure is proposed to determine the timing of tube feeding in children treated in an intensive care unit, which records the hypertonia of the pyloric sphincter and consists in the determination the time of gastric administration of distilled water before its evacuation into the duodenal lumen (water evacuation test) visualized in the real-time mode through abdominal ultrasonography. The proposed procedure was successfully applied to 42 children aged 3 months to 14 years who had severe brain injury, appendicular peritonitis, polytrauma, and polysegmental pneumonias. This determining procedure makes it possible to exclude radiation exposure in patients treated in intensive care units and to improve the outcomes of treatment, by prescribing the artificial feeding, that is adequate to the patients' status, in the periods optimal for each specific clinical case.
