[The clinico-electroneuromyographic characteristics of acute inflammatory polyneuropathies in children].

Clinical electroneuromyographic examination (ENME) was carried out in 59 children at the age of 1-12 years with acute demyelinating polyneuropathies (PNP). The patients were divided into two groups, namely: 24 children with Guillain-Barré [correction of Giyenne-Barret] syndrome (the first) and 35 ones with diphtheritic PNP (the second group). The main clinical symptoms were investigated in each group. As a result of ENME investigation the axonal and demyelinating types of PNP's beginning were identified. They were distinguished both by severity of course and by rate of restoration. Diphtheritic PNP was characterized by demyelinating type of pathology rise with addition of axonal component in severe cases. The conduction through the additional nerves was investigated to prognose the development of bulbar disorders in PNP.

Acute Disease

[Echocardiography in the diagnosis and evaluation of the results of the surgical treatment of interatrial septal defects in adult patients].

Pre- and postoperative echocardiographic findings in 67 patients above 18 years of age with atrial septal defects were compared with hemodynamic data obtained at catheterization of heart cavities. No possible ways of accurate noninvasive assessment of arteriovenous discharge were found. Echocardiographic parameters of the followed-up patients returned to normal within 3 to 4 years after surgical correction of the defect. In some cases where mitral prolapse was found preoperatively, angiographically documented mitral regurgitation was seen at long-term follow-up.

[Echography of the right sections of the heart (methodological aspects of ultrasonic location)].

In location of the cardioelements from the intercostal spaces at the left sternal border, the anteroposterior directions of the ultrasonic beam are called standard positions of the sensor, while the right directions of the beam--the right positions of the sensor. In definite cases the use of the right positions of the sensor makes it possible to record the right cavities of the heart. Depending on the foreshortening of the locating impulse, considerable variability of the shape of triacuspid valve movement is noted. The pulmonary valve is usually represented on the echogram at a depth of 3--5 cm by a thin linear structure which moves away from the thoracic wall rapidly during the ejection period. It is presumed that the recording of the right parts of the heart will yield valuable diagnostic information in echocardiographic examination.

[Echocardiographic diagnosis of rheumatic mitral valve insufficiency].

Echocardiography was used for the examination of 45 patients with rheumatic mitral valve insufficiency. Echocardiographic data were found to permit making the diagnosis of mitral valve disease and differentiating within the group of mitral valve disease as such. A mitral disease with prevailing insufficiency is characterized on an echocardiogramme by a unidirectional diastolic movement of thickened mitral cusps, by an increased general excursion of the mitral valve, dilatation of the left ventricular cavity, increased systolic excursion of the ventricular septum, and a significant dilatation of the left atrial cavity. "Pure" mitral insufficiency is characterized by a dilatation of the left heart, vari-directional movements of the mitral cusps during the diastole, and a marked lack of their closure during the systole.
