Expediency of the liposuction in surgery of abdominal surgery, abdominal diseases and small organs of the pelvis

The experience of performance of dermatolipectomy in 124 patients while conducting operative intervention for abdominal hernia and for the abdominal cavity and the small pelvis organs diseases was summarized. The risk degree of the simultant operation performance was estimated while conducting the proper preoperative preparation and the surgical correction volume was planned beforehand. The simultant operation performance did not influence the stationary treatment duration significantly, it also permitted to reduce the duration of temporary disability to shorten significantly the treatment expenses, to stop the stress influence on patient's psychological state caused be the reoperation conduction necessity. Low-molecular heparin fraxiparin (produced by Sanofi firm) was applied for the thromboembolic complications prophylaxis under control of the blood coagulation time and of the coagulogramm indices.     

Use of flying tests for evaluating functional capabilities of pilots

Psychophysiological parameters of 89 pilots were examined when they performed flight tasks on a trainer under normal and complicated conditions. The experiments helped to reveal a group of test subjects (11.2%) who had low capabilities and made serious errors. The results obtained suggest that psychophysiological examinations during simulated professional activity can be recommended as a method to be used for measuring adaptive and compensatory capabilities of pilots undergoing medical expertise.     

Drug-induced sweat gland necrosis in a non-comatose patient: a case presentation

BACKGROUND: Coma-induced bullae and sweat gland necrosis is a rare clinicopathological entity often associated with drug-induced coma. SUBJECT: We report a case with clinical and histopathologic findings characteristic of blisters and sweat gland necrosis occurring in a non-comatose patient. CONCLUSIONS: Skin blisters with underlying sweat gland necrosis is an entity previously reported to occur in comatose patients, our findings open new questions about the role of the drugs in the pathogenesis of those conditions.
