To correct acute respiratory failure in patients with hemoblastoses and taking into consideration the low efficacy of standard techniques, 8 operations of isolated ultrafiltration combined with low-flow extracorporeal oxygenation in 6 patients were performed. The first results have been analyzed. To attain the maximum positive result, it is recommended that the method may be included earlier in a complex of intensive therapy measures.

Comparative Study
[The lipid metabolic characteristics of patients with thyroid pathology living in the European north of the USSR].
The blood content of total lipids, triglycerides, total cholesterol, alpha- and beta-lipoprotein cholesterol was measured in 79 patients with diffuse toxic goiter during treatment, in 25 patients with hypothyroidism, in 33 with thyroid hyperplasia, and in 54 healthy women aged 35-60 years from the group of native population of the European North. In all the forms of thyroid dysfunction, the patients manifested dyslipoproteinemia in the form of hypercholesterolemia with an increase of the concentration of beta-cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia, and with a rise of the cholesterol atherogenic index to 4.0 and over. The signs of dyslipoproteinemia were marked to the greatest degree in thyrotoxicosis, at the stages of euthyroidism attainment or disease remissions.

Efferent therapy (hemosplenosorption, plasmapheresis, autologous blood radiation) was used in multimodality treatment of 45 patients with sepsis. The therapy exerted a beneficial effect on the disease, favoured the elimination of or minimized intoxication, normalized hemostasis and immunity. Indications for use of hemosplenosorption, plasmapheresis and autologous blood radiation are provided.
