[The short-term effect of measured normobaric hypoxia on autonomic nervous system function in persons with hypo- and hyperacidic syndromes]. / Kratkovremennoe vliianie dozirovannoi normobaricheskoi gipoksii na sostoianie vegetativnoi nervnoi sistemy u lits s gipo- i giperatsidnym sindromom.

The functional activity of the vegetative nervous system was studied before and after the exposure to graded normobaric hypoxia having been realized as breathing with an artificial hypoxic mixture (AHM) during 10 to 40 minutes in subjects presenting with hypo- and hyperacidic syndromes. A relationship was established between activation of the sympathetic or parasympathetic regions and aggravation of the antecedent history (bad habits). It is suggested that a short-term AHM breathing be used as a test for preservation/failure of mechanisms of adaptation.

[The use of mountain air therapy for the correction of acid formation in patients with hypo- and hyperacidic syndromes]. / Primenenie terapii gornym vozdukhom dlia korrektsii kislotoobrazovaniia u bol'nykh s gipo- i giperatsidnym sindromom.

Changes were studied in intragastric pH with the aid of micromethods of topo-pH-metry in 46 patients presenting with hypo- and hyperacidic syndrome exposed to artificial mountain air (AMA) therapy. The gas mixture containing 14% oxygen was formed by using molecular sieves. AMA was found out to have a significant sanogenic effect: it makes for acid production in patients with hypoacidic syndrome and reduces the above production in those patients presenting with hyperacidic syndrome AMA therapy administered along with the judicious employment of blockers, Hs-histamine receptors will, we believe, help in alleviating and dispelling the withdrawal syndrome.
