Purpose of study: the study of posture in school children in three planes according to computer optical topography. Patients and methods. A screening examination of 1835 children was performed using computer optical topography of the back, the average age was 11.2±1.7 years, girls 930 (50.6%), boys 905 (49.3%). Results and conclusion. The study showed that computer optical topography is a highly effective method for screening diagnostics of posture disorders in school children, posture disorders are a common condition, according to the topographic classification of posture disorders, occur in 69.46% of school age children.

Disorders of the musculoskeletal system, where posture defects contribute to the appearance of multiple organ dysfunctions, are the leading symptom demonstrated by the children with psychomotor retardation. Scientific studies state different data regarding postural disorders in children of early and preschool age, which is caused by lack of a unified classification of postural disorders in the frontal plane. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to develop a new comprehensive classification of postural disorders in the frontal plane in infants and preschool children with psychomotor retardation depending on their causes, the classification being adapted to the possibilities of the correction-oriented physical training, by means of the analysis and classification methods. During our research, we have revealed the following: 1. The problem of postural disorders demonstrated by the children of early and preschool age occupies a leading position, but at the same time, the issues related to the diagnosing of the children suffering from psychomotor retardation alongside the determination of the etiology of disorders have not been sufficiently developed. 2. The main types of postural disorders in the children’s frontal plane are presented in the form of scoliosis, asymmetric posture being its precursor. 3. The reasons for postural disorders in children are of a diverse nature and depend on many factors; we have not revealed a unified approach to the identification of the etiology of postural disorders in the frontal plane in scholars’ studies. 4. A new complex classification is presented; it which includes five main etiological blocks of postural disorders in the frontal plane of children of early and preschool age who suffer from psychomotor retardation: biomechanical (anatomical), neurogenic-muscular, myofascial, psychosomatic and compensatory. The prospects for further research may lie in the mainstream of the search for a correlation between the cause-effect relationships of the etiology and pathogenesis of postural disorders in the frontal plane demonstrated by the children under focus according to the five above-mentioned blocks.

We have investigated the spectrograms (dispersion: 8Å/mm) in the photographic infrared region fromλ7500 toλ9000 of some carbon stars obtained by the coudé spectrograph of the 74-inch reflector attached to the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory. The names of the stars investigated are listed in Table 1.

For years the separation of carcinoma and sarcoma and the subclassification of sarcomas has been based on the appearance of the tumor cells and their microscopic growth pattern and information derived from certain histochemical and special stains. Although this method of study has produced good agreement among pathologists in the separation of carcinoma from sarcoma, it has given less uniform results in the subclassification of sarcomas. There remain examples of neoplasms of different histogenesis, the classification of which is questionable because of similar cytologic and growth patterns at the light microscopic level; i.e. amelanotic melanoma versus carcinoma and occasionally sarcoma, sarcomas with an epithelial pattern of growth simulating carcinoma, histologically similar mesenchymal tumors of different histogenesis (histiocytoma versus rhabdomyosarcoma, lytic osteogenic sarcoma versus rhabdomyosarcoma), and myxomatous mesenchymal tumors of diverse histogenesis (myxoid rhabdo and liposarcomas, cardiac myxoma, myxoid neurofibroma, etc.)

With the extensive industrial use of asbestos in this century and the long latent period (20-50 years) between exposure and tumor presentation, the incidence of malignant mesothelioma is now increasing. Thus, surgical pathologists are more frequently faced with the dilemma of differentiating mesothelioma from metastatic adenocarcinoma and spindle-cell sarcoma involving serosal surfaces. Electron microscopy is amodality useful in clarifying this problem.In utilizing ultrastructural features in the diagnosis of mesothelioma, it is essential to appreciate that the classification of this tumor reflects a variety of morphologic forms of differing biologic behavior (Table 1). Furthermore, with the variable histology and degree of differentiation in mesotheliomas it might be expected that the ultrastructure of such tumors also reflects a range of cytological features. Such is the case.

Introduction: The analysis and interpretation of electron micrographs of cells and tissues, often requires the accurate extraction of structural networks, which either provide immediate 2D or 3D information, or from which the desired information can be inferred. The images of these structures contain lines and/or curves whose orientation, lengths, and intersections characterize the overall network.Some examples exist of studies that have been done in the analysis of networks of natural structures. In, Sebok and Roemer determine the complexity of nerve structures in an EM formed slide. Here the number of nodes that exist in the image describes how dense nerve fibers are in a particular region of the skin. Hildith proposes a network structural analysis algorithm for the automatic classification of chromosome spreads (type, relative size and orientation).

Keratitis and conjunctivitis (infections of the cornea or conjunctiva) are ocular infections caused by various bacteria, fungi, viruses or parasites; bacteria, however, are usually prominent. Systemic conditions such as alcoholism, diabetes, debilitating disease, AIDS and immunosuppressive therapy can lead to increased susceptibility but trauma and contact lens use are very important factors. Gram-negative bacteria are most frequently cultured in these situations and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is most usually isolated from culture-positive ulcers of patients using contact lenses. Smears for staining can be obtained with a special swab or spatula and Gram staining frequently guides choice of a therapeutic rinse prior to the report of the culture results upon which specific antibiotic therapy is based. In some cases staining of the direct smear may be diagnostic in situations where the culture will not grow. In these cases different types of stains occasionally assist in guiding therapy.
