[Medical informatics in the training of students, dentists and teachers in dental schools].

Philosophy of training students, physicians, and tutors of dentistry schools in medical informatics and the relevant curricula are discussed. Specialized software for differential diagnosis and treatment of the major stomatological diseases (dental caries, pulpitis, periodontitis, mucosal, periodontal, oral diseases, tumors, rapid methods for AIDS screening, etc.) are presented.

Curriculum↗

[Software support for automatic (computerized) work stations for dentists].

The authors describe the software for a basic computer unified system of working places for dentists specializing in oral, dental surgery and orthodontics with diaries and special entries for each section. The computer system head physician--registration office--primary examination room--rooms of dental treatment, physiotherapy, and x-ray examination--is intended for use as part of local computer network of dental clinics in the MS DOS and Windows systems. Application of the system improves the labor efficiency by up to 35% and the financial efficacy by almost 30%. It also warrants legal protection of both physicians and patients.

[The laser therapy of diseases of the periodontium and oral mucosa].

Authors' methods (patented and certified) of complex (conservative and surgical) treatment of periodontal and oral mucosal diseases using new-generation laser devices (physiotherapeutic and surgical) have been tested on 588 patients. Results of the treatment are reviewed.

[The local immunity of the oral cavity in dental caries].

Functional activity of local immunity with regard to dental caries in children is liable to appreciable individual fluctuations which depend on sex, age, and season. In children aged 4 to 5 no association between the titer of antibodies to cariogenic Streptococcus and number of carious lesions was observed, whereas in those aged 9 to 19 these parameters were in inverse relationship. In children aged 11-12 and 14-16 this association is inverse. Regression analysis of nonspecific and specific characteristics of local immunity of the oral cavity in children aged under 12 suffering from caries revealed functional insufficiency of the mechanisms regulating the local immunity, which disappears after fluoroprophylaxis. Test system for screening of mutant Streptococcus cannot be recommended for wide use to detect subjects sensitive to caries, because it has certain limitations as regards the age of examinees.

[Laser physiotherapy of stomatological diseases].

Modern methods of laser prophylaxis and physiotherapy of numerous dental diseases in cariesology, endodontia, periodontology, surgery, orthodonty, pedodontics, implantology, etc., using new-generation laser technologies, are reviewed.

[Post-dislocation lesions of the midbrain and pons in neurosurgical patients].

The study of clinico-neurological, electroencephalographical and pathological data in 37 patients with post-dislocation lesions of midbrain and pons Varolii yielded identification of the syndroms of isolated functioning of brainstem-cerebral and brainstem-spinal systems: mesencephalo-pontine, supramesencephalic, unilateral. Clinico-physiological features characteristic of these syndromes are discussed as different from those of acute brain dislocations. Their value in diagnosis and prediction of the death of brain as an organ.

[Effect of chronic stimulation of the negative and positive emotionogenic centers of the hypothalamus on development of cardiac arrhythmias].

Chronic experiments were conducted on 46 rabbits; a study was made of the changes in cardiac activity arising in prolonged (up to 1--2 weeks) electric stimulation of the ventro-median nuclei of the hypothalamus. Disturbances of the cardiac rhythm in the form of tachycardia, atrial flutter and fibrillation, ventricular extrasystole and paroxysmal ventricular tachysystole occurred mostly during the first days of stimulation and ceased after inderal infusion. Functional "weakness" of the cardiac pacemakers was revealed in the animals subjected to 1--2-week stimulation of the ventromedian nuclei. This was indicated by the post-stimulation suppression of the pacemaker automaticity and the appearance of Liciani's periods. Disturbances of the cardiac rhythm originating in stimulation of the ventromedian nuclei ceased in stimulation of the lateral hypothalamic field.

Animals↗

[The microbial status of the periodontal pocket].

Analysis of components helped reveal the true relationships between the counts of individual representatives of the bacterial association in the contents of 18 periodontal pouches. Though the authors did their best to select a group of patients with the periodontitis course as similar as possible, the multidimensional grouping method has demonstrated the heterogeneity of this group. Four types of periodontal pouches were distinguished, differing by their bacterial status; this probably requires a differentiated approach to its correction.
