Method of forecasting retrocessions of larynx cancer In patients suffering from larynx cancer after surgical oncotomy in the course of dispensary observation levels of androsteron and estradiol in 24-hour collection urine are examined and their ratio to each other are determined. At ratio level more than 3 emergence of disease retrocession or metastasis in the near future is forecasted. At ratio level lower than 3 a long-lasting recurrence-free period is forecasted. |

Diagnostic technique for desynchronosis of hypophysial thyroid system in the patients with severe bronchial asthma refers to medicine. Substance consists that blood of the patients is radioimmunoassayed for concentration of TSH, T3, T4 hormones. The obtained data are processed to draw a graphic curve of circadian rhythm for each hormone that provides a basis to determine individual acrophase and batiphase time. The acrophase (confidence interval) TSH development biorhythm 9 h 11 min (confidential interval 4 h 57 min to 13 h 26 min), T3 hormone - 15 h 01 min (confidential interval 8 h 05 min to 21 h 57 min) T4 hormone - 16 h 34 min (confidential interval 8 h 55 min to 24 h 13 min), and batiphase of circadian TSH secretion rhythm 21 h to 22 h, T3 - 2 h to 4 h, T4 4 h to 5 h ensure to diagnose apparent desynchronosis of hypophysial thyroid system. |

Invention refers to medicine and veterinary science and can be used for predicting depressive behaviour of an aged primate, rates of ageing and development of stress-dependent pathological changes. According to the claimed invention, an aged primate is examined for psychoemotional reaction on soft and acute psychoemotional stress effect, molar concentration ratio of cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate in peripheral blood plasma and percentage concentration of cortisol in peripheral blood plasma in the evening (20 o'clock 45 minutes - 21 o'clock 15 minutes) to concentration of cortisol in peripheral blood plasma in the morning (8 o'clock 45 minutes - 9 o'clock 15 minutes) to predict depressive behaviour in the aged primate with accelerated rates of ageing and development of stress-dependent pathological changes in depressive reaction on soft and acute psychoemotional stress effect, if molar concentration ratio of cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate in peripheral blood plasma is not less than 4.3, and concentration of cortisol in peripheral blood plasma in the evening to concentration of cortisol in peripheral blood plasma in the morning is not less than 66%. |
