RESUMEN
The course of pyopneumothorax in 427 patients, among whom 310 were subjected to temporary occlusion of the bronchus, was appraised by means of the severity index based on consideration of deviations of the values of hemodynamics, external respiration, blood, and acid-base equilibrium from the normal level. In a favourable course of pyopneumothorax the severity index was found to be within the ranges of the confidential interval. The method makes it possible to appraise the compensatory properties of the organism and prognosticate the course of the disease.

The possibility of the use of the linguistic theory in differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis was studied. Analysed were 299 case records of the patients with intestinal dyskinesia, common and destructive appendicitis. Hypodiagnosis of appendicitis was noted in 8.6%, hyperdiagnosis--in 23.3% of cases.
