Qualified medical care of the population to a great extent depends on the quality of diagnostic work at the polyclinic stage.To study the causes of delayed diagnosis of gastrointestinal tumors we analyzed case histories of 2120 patients treated at the gastroenterology department during three years. Gastric tumors of various localizations were revealed in 32 patients, in 9 patients - tumors of large intestine. The average age of the patients was 56 years.
As is known, eosinophils belong to granulocytes and perform a variety of functions in the body. They are ascribed mainly a detoxifying role, since normally they are found in large quantities in the skin, intestinal and respiratory tract mucosa, tissues and tissue fluids. In addition, eosinophils take an active part in allergic reactions, can stimulate fibrosis processes (e.g. in tumor tissues), have a cytotoxic effect (in reactions directed against helminths), etc.
The purpose of this work was to study the possibility of using an automatic blood-forme element counter when conducting clinical examination of the whole population. For this purpose we used "Pikoskel" apparatus produced by the All-Russian People's Republic, which was preliminarily tested in the Republican Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Health of the TASSR.
Iron deficiency anemia, which is based on iron deficiency in the blood serum, bone marrow, depot and tissues, is more common than other forms of anemia. The most frequent etiological factors of iron deficiency anemia are known to be various kinds of blood loss: menorrhagia and metrorrhagia (in women), from the gastrointestinal tract (peptic ulcer, erosions, diverticula, hemorrhoids, non-specific ulcerative colitis, etc.), hematuria, nasal and uterine bleeding. The causes of this anemia can be tumors of various localizations, rare diseases (pulmonary hemosiderosis, glomus cysts), worm infestations, chronic infections, enteritis and intestinal resection. Anemia can also occur in women during pregnancy and lactation, when the body's need for iron increases, in adolescents with an insufficient baseline level (if their mothers suffered from iron deficiency anemia), and in donors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
