The long-term results of conservative and surgical treatment of 200 patients with closed uncomplicated fractures of the thoracic spine were analyzed and tables of the frequency of signs that characterize this group of patients were compiled. Based on the data obtained, tables were compiled for the computational prediction of the outcomes of closed uncomplicated fractures of the thoracic spine with conservative and surgical treatment. The use of computational prediction tables in the practice of medical institutions will make it possible to objectively assess the condition of the victim, determine the effectiveness of a particular treatment method and recommend the most appropriate one.

The disease history, levels of ТЗ, T4, ТТН were investigated and thyroid ultrasonography was made in 111 patients with diffuse toxic goiter (DTG) admitted to hospital in 1984—1993. Of them, '83 had primary DTG, 28 had recurrent thyrotoxicosis. The diagnosis was made in 1978—1993, the treatment was performed in different medical institutions according to the patients ’ residence. The analysis showed that endocrinologists of different clinics practice different policy of thyrostatic treatment (different initial doses of the drugs, different duration of their administration). Out of 98 patients treated with mercasolil recurrence arose in 68%, persistent euthyrosis in 35%, hypothyroidism in 2%>. It is demonstrated that outcome of the conservative treatment does not depend on the initial dose of mercasolil or adjuvant levo-thyroxine but solely on the duration of continuous treatment. After 52 operations recurrences occurred in 35%, hypothyroidism in 36%, euthyrosis in 29%. Recurrent thyrotoxicosis developed as a rule within a year after thyrostatic treatment (84%) and within 5 years after operation (94%).

The aim of the work was to analyze the long-term results of using a temporary “liquid” implant in the surgery of congenital glaucoma in children. The basis of the developed method of filtrative antiglaucomatous surgery (Patent of Ukraine No. 45099 of 2009) – viscosinusotrabeculotomy – has been set the task of reducing the risk of developing intra- and postoperative complications, reducing the scarring rate and maintaining the newly created ways of the intraocular fluid outflow, which in general will increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment of congenital glaucoma in children. 54 children (91 eyes) with simple congenital glaucoma at the age of 1 to 36 months were operated on average (8.7 ± 8.2) months. The persistent and long-lasting hypotensive effect achieved due to viscosinusotrabeculotomy in children with developed and far-advanced stages of congenital glaucoma stops the processes of stretching of the membranes of the eye and stabilizes their size, which in general allows preserving and visual functions improving, in infancy – creating conditions for their formation.

In the current oncological practice surgical treatment of gastroesophageal cancer with high involvement of the esophagus can extend to total esophago-gastrectomy with colonic interposition as the main method of radical treatment. However the technical complexity and high risk of the intervention are factors in determining the divergent views on the operation itself, testimony for the criteria of patient’s selection, choice of surgical access and the formation of a colonic graft in conjunction with method of esophageal reconstruction. The long-term results of operative intervention depend primarily on the extent of tumor process but obviously higher than after conservative treatment. This article presents a brief critical overview of the main aspects of the simultaneous application of esophago-gastrectomy in surgery of gastroesophageal cancer with high esophageal involvement and our clinical case of successful surgical treatment of a woman with pregnancy-associated gastroesophageal cancer.

We followed the fate of 166 patients with limb arterial embolism in the late stage of the disease after conservative and surgical treatment from 6 months to 10 years. Of 166 patients, 44 (26.5%) died after hospital discharge. Thirty of them were older than 61 years. The most frequent causes of death in the long-term period were acute cerebrovascular disease (11), myocardial infarction (7), progressive cardiovascular insufficiency due to cardiac defects (6), repeated peripheral artery embolism causing limb gangrene (7). In 7 patients the cause of death was not determined.
