[Medical risk assessment in life insurance of applicants following coronary angioplasty].
The high incidence of instant results of PTCA in patients with coronary artery disease and the favourable prognosis of long-term follow-ups are beneficial for proposers being accepted for life insurance, even though they belonged to the group of high-risk-patients before. In assessing life insurance policies it is necessary to take the individual course of the CAD, the PTCA itself and the remaining left ventricular function into consideration. Risk factors and other cardiac or non-cardiac impairments must be regarded additionally.
A comparative morphometric study of male adrenals was conducted in case pulmonary thanatogenesis. A response was registered, it was associated with a dominating weight of the left adrenal (LA) and of its cortical substance over the similar parameters of the RA. The intensity and the time of the onset of reactions in different LA morphofunctional zones were found to be different in mechanical asphyxia and in carbon-monoxide intoxication. It is suggested that the occurring changes can reflect the action mechanism and result from the embryogenesis-conditioned specificity of functioning of paired organs.
