[Clinico-echoencephalographic correlations in the early diagnosis of traumatic intracranial hematomas and foci of brain crushing].
The authors examined 254 patients with closed trauma of the skull and brain. Besides clinical examination all patients were subject to unidimensional multiaxial echoencephalography with a modified ultrasonic probe and method of examination Three degrees of brain affection were distinguished according to the clinical signs and three degrees of compression according to the results of echoencephalography, the combination of which allows correct tactics of examination and treatment to be used in patients with severe closed trauma of the skull and brain within the first hours of hospitalization.

Comparative Study[Effect of spinal cord and spinal injuries on the phagocytic activity of neutrophils].
Study of neutrophil phagocytic activity in injuries to the spinal cord and spine and in damage to the spine without involvement of the spinal cord showed that injuries to the spinal cord have no specific effect on this activity. True, the phagocytic reaction is inhibited in the first 2-3 weeks after the trauma both in patients with injury to the spinal cord and spine and in those with injury only to the spine. ⋯ The level at which the spinal cord is injured hardly affects the activity of phagocytosis. The examination was conducted in 117 patients with spinal fractures 94 of whom had also sustained injury to the spinal cord.
