Ozone therapy in the treatment of acute pyelonephritis in pregnacy

The authors made a study of effectiveness using ozone therapy in pyelonephritis in pregnancy in 67 patients (12-34 weeks of pregnancy). To analyze the treatment effectiveness we choose 2 groups of patients: The first group (n=67) was treated by ozone therapy with antibiotics, the second group (n=41) was treated by antibiotics only. Analyzing results were made in dynamics of the interleukin level (IL1, IL4) and cortisol blood level on the 1 and 7 day of treatment in each group and in comparison between these two groups. We focused the decreasing level of cortisol and interleukins on the 7 day of treatment in each 2 groups, but the results in the first group were better (better effectiveness in cupping inflammatory syndrome).Авторами было проведено исследование эффективности применения метода озонотерапии при остром гестационном пиелонефрите у 67 пациенток в сроке от 12 до 34 недель беременности. Для оценки эффективности лечения озоном были выделены две группы больных: в I группе (n = 67) в сочетании с антибактериальными препаратами применена озонотерапия., во II контрольной группе (n = 41) озонотерапия не проводилась. Оценка результатов проведена по динамике уровня интерлейкинов ( IL1, IL4) и кортизола крови в 1 и 7 сутки лечения в каждой группе, а также при сравнении между группами. Полученные данные свидетельствовали о снижении уровня интерлейкинов и кортизола на 7 сутки лечения в обеих группах, однако в I группе пациентов динамика показателей была более значительна, по сравнению с контрольной группо

Analysis of prostate gland biopsy findings in clinics of Yekaterinburg from 2000 to 2006

Introduction. New facilities in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and their wide introduction into the every-day practice bring about significant changes in the epidemiology of this clinical entity.The application of screening tests with biopsy has led to developing of heterogeneous diagnostic contingents. They are characterized by various methods of forming, by stage of disease revealed on the first level of medical aid, by demographic indices.Objective. To evaluate the structure of the diagnostic contingents formed in the patient care institutions of Sverdlovsk region we analyzed the findings of the prostate biopsies performed.Subjects and methods. The results of 3133 prostate biopsies carried out in five patient care institutions of Yekaterinburg for a period from 2000 to 2006 were analyzed taking into account the specificity of these institutions. All the biopsies were carried out transrectally, under the control of ultrasound.Results. Significant differences in grouping according to the stages of newly determined cases of the disease were obtained depending on the profile of the patient care institution.Conclusion. When evaluating the diagnosis of the prostate cancer it is necessary to take into consideration the heterogeneity of the diagnostic contingents depending on the profile of the patient care institution. The percentage of the positive biopsies findings and grouping according to the stages of newly determined cases, on the whole, may serve as epidemiologic indices
