LOCALIZATION OF PULMONARY THROMBOEMBOLISM - AN IMPORTANT PROGNOSTIC FACTOR

The prognosis of pulmonary thromboembolism is a serious challenge for the clinicians. A total of 967 patients with pulmonary thromboembolism, 511 males and 456 females at a mean age of 60,1 ±13,7 years were analyzed. A special protocol consisting of 52 parameters was used to define their prognostic value. A non-invasive diagnostic algorithm based on symptoms, ECG, pulmonary roentgenography, perfusion scintigraphy, spiral scan, pulmoangiography, or on autopsy was applied. A prognostic index was elaborated by means of multifactorial analysis of the parameters of prognostic significance concerning the risk of lethal outcome. The localization of the pulmonary thromboembolism as determined by using spiral C T can effectively be used for patients' risk stratification

THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF COMPLEX PHYSICAL FACTORS IN DISEASES OF THE EXTREMITIES DUE TO OVERSTRAIN AND MICROTRAUMATISM

The authors treated with drugs and complex physical therapy 65 patients with occupational diseases of the extremities. According to the physiotherapeutic procedures, the patients were divided into five groups: 1s t - treated with galvanic baths; 2 n d - with galvanic baths and diadynamic current; 3 r d - with galvanic baths and short-wave therapy; 4t h - with galvanic baths and paraffin, and 5t h - with galvanic baths and high-voltage, low-frequency current. Patient's improvement was evaluated according to the reduction of subjective complaints such as shivering and pain as well as to a series of objective parameters such as muscle strength, skin temperature, time for skin temperature restoration, and peripheral blood flow. The subjective complaints were better influenced than the objective indices. The combination of galvanic baths with short-wave therapy exerted the best effect in the patients with occupational diseases of the extremities
