This scholarly work conducted at University Medical Center presents a comprehensive analysis of the implementation...

This chapter summarizes current status and perspectives in hardware technologies for medical rehabilitation. The chapter’s first part describes the long journey from basic rehabilitation technologies toward modern robotic devices for gait restoration. The second part of the chapter revolves around a context-based use of hardware techniques: their c...

Unlabelled: Optimal treatment for adhesive small bowel obstruction (SBO) is not defined. Surgery is the only method of treatment for obvious strangulating SBO. Non-operative management (NOM) is widely used among patients with low risk of strangulation, i.e. no clinical, laboratory and CT signs. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are recommended t...

Background : The newly diagnosed pelvic cancer appears to be locally advanced in every third patient, which requires a comprehensive approach to treatment and often extensive combined surgical interventions. Long duration of operations, blood loss, complications of the tumor process during or after previous treatment often lead to the development o...

Background: total hip replacement has long ago become the «golden standard» for the treatment of dysplastic coxarthrosis in thousands of the patients receiving it every year. In the meantime, the analysis of the specialized literature gives evidence of the lack of a systematic and personified approach to the rehabilitation treatment. Aim: The ob...

Aim: To define optimal terms of surgery for acute adhesive non-strangulatory small bowel obstruction. Material and methods: The analysis included 703 publications from e-LIBRARI.RU (342 works) and NCBI (361 works) databases for acute adhesive intestinal obstruction. The vast majority of articles presented retrospective analysis of single-center...

Aim: To estimate the role of emergency laparoscopic interventions in diagnosis and treatment of acute early adhesive intestinal obstruction. Material and methods: It is presented the results of diagnostic and curative laparoscopic interventions in 58 patients with suspected acute early adhesive intestinal obstruction after abdominal surgery. Com...

The article presents the use of laparoscopic interventions in 38 patients with Acute Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction (AASBO) in patients without previous history of abdominal surgery. Clinical, radiological and ultrasound patterns of disease are analyzed. The use of laparoscopy has proved itself the most effective and relatively safe diagnostic pr...
