[Diagnosis and treatment of generalized forms of sarcoidosis].

A total of 132 patients with generalized sarcoidosis (GS) who amounted to 2.8% out of 4700 examinees and followed-up patients with respiratory sarcoidosis were studied. The pathomorphological study of biopsy specimens, X-ray functional, and immunological studies are of great importance in the diagnosis of GS. The latter in the examinees was characterized by the most common lesions to the skin, subcutaneous fat, peripheral lymph nodes, liver, spleen, central and peripheral nervous systems and eyes. The combined pathogenetic therapy developed, which involves corticosteroidal hormones and anabolic drugs, immunomodulators, antioxidants and antihypoxants has been shown to be effective in 62% of the patients.

[Significance of scintigraphic studies in the complex diagnosis of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis].

The aim of the work was to study the role of a scintigraphic examination in the complex diagnosis of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis. Study was carried out by a computer-assisted gamma-camera with 99mTc pharmaceutical preparation. Combined examination included 55 patients among whom most patients (26 or 65.5%) had a disseminated lung process and 19 (34.5%) had changes circumscribed by 2-3 bilateral segments. The method was proved to be of high informative value. The microcirculatory changes in 47 (85.5%) patients with obvious signs of active pulmonary tuberculosis were more pronounced than those detected by X-ray. Dynamic scintigraphy in 8 (14q.5%) patients with a dubious process activity proved to be an advantageous supplementary method of study.

[Pulmonoscintigraphy in sarcoidosis and certain forms of pulmonary tuberculosis].

Comprehensive investigations including clinical examination, x-ray and scintigraphy of the lungs were conducted in 163 patients with sarcoidosis, Stages I, II, III, disseminated tuberculosis and tuberculosis of the intrathoracic lymph nodes. The scintigraphic method is more sensitive to initial pulmonary changes in the process of treatment than the x-ray one. Earlier changes in the course of disease are recorded by pulmonary circulation changes (microcirculation) revealed at pulmonoscintigraphy.

[Computer program for processing lung scintigrams].

The paper is concerned with an algorithm of a program for pulmonoscintigram processing. The program developed in the algorithmic languages Basic and Assembler on the basis of this algorithm, made it possible to facilitate the data processing, to lower a physician's competence as a computer operator, to raise the objectivity of diagnosis of pulmonary diseases, etc. The program is intended for computers Vip-450, Vip-550 and MCS-560, Technicare, USA.
