The analysis of 7 cases of subacute spongiform encephalopathy, the Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD), is given. Three main morphological features are typical for this disease: spongiform change of the grey matter, progressive neuronal loss and proliferation of the astroglia cells. ⋯ As a rule, the disease affects at first the cortex of the cerebral hemispheres, then subcortical nuclear groups, cerebellum and more rarely nuclear groups of the brain stem. The demyelinization of the white matter of the cerebral hemispheres is not obligatory for the CJD and appears in cases with a severe lesion of the grey matter.

Case Reports
[Pathological anatomy of the myorenal syndrome in the light of current methods of treatment].
Clinical and morphologic analysis of material from 39 patients who died from the myorenal syndrome is given. It is shown that during last 10 years the mortality rate from this syndrome is markedly reduced from 55 to 14% due to new active methods of detoxication. ⋯ It is noted also that progress in the treatment changed the whole structure of mortality, and the role of new complications, mainly septicemia, was increased. The sources of septicemia are both skin and muscles lesions and catheters and shunts used in modern methods of treatment.
