ABSTRACT
The article deals with the problem of osteoporosis in patients with cardiovascular and broncho-obstructive disease. The risk factors and clinical functional features of osteoporosis are analyzed in patients with coronary heart disease, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma. Indicators of bone mineral density in patients with cardiovascular and broncho-obstructive disease on average meet the criteria for osteopenia. Most examinees had a high risk of osteoporotic fractures as a result of significant reduction in bone mineral density. The presence of osteoporosis in patients with cardiovascular and broncho-obstructive pathology from the point of co-morbidity results in a syndrome of mutual aggravation that determines the need for a comprehensive diagnosis, treatment and prevention.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate an impact of low calorie diet therapy (LCDT) on cerebral hemodynamics, cognitive functions and quality-of-life of patients with arterial hypertension and chronic cerebral ischemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The main group consisted of 22 patients, 16 women and 6 men (mean age 54.4±2.4 years), assigned to the diet. The comparison group included 20 patients, 12 women and 8 men (mean age 55.6±1,0 years), who received standard antihypertensive treatment. The results of Doppler ultrasound of cerebral arteries, cognitive functions and quality-of-life were assessed after 6 months of treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A positive effect of LCDT on the cerebral hemodynamics, cognitive functions and quality-of-life indices maintained for 6 months. The efficacy of LCDT was comparable to that of standard treatment in the comparison group.

35 patients with arterial hypertension and obesity against the background of fasting-diet therapy and after 1 and 6 months after treatment conducted daily monitoring of blood pressure, microalbuminuria and glomerular filtration rate, the study of color and contrast sensitivity of retinal eyes. Fasting-diet therapy within 11 days results in reliable reduced daily average AD and stabilization of load pressure indicators; reduction originally pathological microalbuminurii at 18%, increase in the number of patients with normal speed glomerular filtering 48%; improving of eyes function, these changes are saved within 1-6 months after treatment without the using of antihypertensive therapy.
