Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
This chapter presents a synthesis of data regarding the iatrogenic injuries of the peritoneum and retroperitoneum. Similar to the previous chapters, medical druginduced lesions and the consequences of diagnostic and/or therapeutic interventions are presented in detail. Iatrogenic retroperitoneal fibrosis can emerge following radiotherapy or as a consequence of long-term use of drugs such as beta blockers or antiepileptic substances. Pneumoperitoneum is usually a postoperative transient lesion, but it can also be a severe consequence of barotrauma or mechanical ventilation. The causes and consequences of iatrogenic peritonitis and ascites are also analyzed.
