[Modern non-drug technologies for medical rehabilitation of children with consequences of perinatal affection of the central nervous system]. / Sovremennye nelekarstvennye tekhnologii meditsinskoi reabilitatsii detei s posledstviyami perinatal'nogo porazheniya tsentral'noi nervnoi sistemy.

The article is devoted to the issues of medical rehabilitation of children with consequences of perinatal affection of the central nervous system (CNS). An important and principal aspect of the medical rehabilitation of children with perinatal pathology is the minimization of drugs, in this regard, in children in the first year of life, the leading role is given to non-drug methods of exposure. Among the important challenges of the medical rehabilitation of children with perinatal pathology are: improvement of blood supply and metabolic processes in the brain tissue, normalization of the central and peripheral regulation of muscle tone, improvement of neuromuscular conduction, stimulation of psychomotor development. In this case, kinesitherapy technologies are of leading importance: massotherapy, therapeutic exercises, reflex kinesitherapy according to V. Vojta; fitball gymnastics, method of fine finger training, dry floatation, etc. Along with physical rehabilitation methods, physiotherapy methods are actively used, which makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of treatment. The analysis of the literature showed that the use of modern non-drug technologies in children with perinatal CNS pathology, and their introduction into practice can significantly increase the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation of such children.

[Modern possibilities of cryotherapy for chronic functional constipation in children]. / Sovremennye vozmozhnosti krioterapii pri khronicheskikh funktsional'nykh zaporakh u detei.

INTRODUCTION: Among the urgent problems of pediatrics, chronic constipation occupies one of the leading positions due to its high prevalence (20-40%) and the possibility of complications. Conductive cryotherapy, used separately and in combination with percutaneous electroneurostimulation, is a promising technology for the treatment of chronic constipation in children. AIM OF STUDY: Scientific evidence of the use of conductive cryotherapy and its combined effect with percutaneous electroneurostimulation in children with chronic constipation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined 80 children aged 3-15 years (average age 8±2 years) suffering from chronic constipation: 35 (43.8%) boys, 45 (56.2%) girls. In 47 (58.8%) children, chronic constipation of the hypotonic type (HT) was detected, in 33 (41.2%) - chronic constipation of the spastic type (ST). Children were divided into 4 groups, comparable in number, age, gender and clinical manifestations. Patients of all groups received basic treatment: laxative diet, probiotics, choleretic drugs, enzymes. Patients of the main group used the combined effect of conduction cryotherapy and percutaneous electroneurostimulation - cryoelectroneurostimulation. Conduction cryotherapy was prescribed for children of the 1st comparison group, percutaneous electroneurostimulation was assigned to the 2nd comparison group. Patients in the control group received only basic therapy. In order to assess the effectiveness of impact of physical factors, clinical and functional examinations of children were carried out before treatment, immediately after the course of treatment, and also 3, 6 and 12 months later after treatment. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The highest treatment efficacy was found in children of the main group with HT and ST (91.6 and 87.5%, respectively) after cryoelectronic neurostimulation. Conduction cryotherapy was most effective for the treatment of ST (77.7%). The results of the study made it possible to develop an algorithm for the prescription of percutaneous electroneurostimulation and conduction cryotherapy, depending on the type of dyskinetic disorders of the colon in children. All children, regardless of the type of chronic constipation, are prescribed to use the combined effects of physical factors (cryoelectroneurostimulation), percutaneous electroneurostimulation is recommended for HT, conductive cryotherapy - for ST. CONCLUSION: The higher therapeutic effectiveness of the combined use of conduction cryotherapy and percutaneous electroneurostimulation in various types of dyskinetic disorders in children has been proved according to immediate and long-term results of treatment. An algorithm is proposed for differential use of conduction cryotherapy and percutaneous electroneurostimulation taking into account the type of dyskinetic disorders of the colon.

[Necrotizing enterocolitis in newborns].

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a neonatal inflammatory bowel disease and is one of the most threatening disease in neonatal gastroenterology. The average incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis 2,4:1000 infants (1 to 10:1000), or about 2.1% (from 1 to 7%) of the total number of children entering the neonatal intensive care unit. The incidence of disease increases with decreasing gestational age at birth. The share of full-term infants accounts for 10-20% of cases of NEC. This paper summarizes the results of own researches and the literature dedicated to this problem.
