Review Comparative Study[Use of the method of food deprivation in preoperative care of patients with concomitant obesity].
Alimentary deprivation was used in preoperative treatment of 86 surgical patients with obesity. Body mass was reduced by 10 to 20%, on an average, and the course of concomitant diseases was corrected. Findings of clinical, instrumental, and laboratory studies showed that alimentary deprivation was well tolerated by surgical patients, improving their resistance to surgical stress.

Case Reports[Orotracheal intubation in unstable cervical part of the spine: an alternative approach].
A case with a difficult intubation of the trachea in a patient with anterior dislocation of C(VI) vertebra and unstable cervical portion of the spine is described. A special Bullard fiberoptic laryngoscope was effectively used in this patient for orotracheal intubation. Use of this laryngoscope is a good alternative to other methods of tracheal intubation in patients with injuries and unstable cervical portion of the spine.
