[Physical methods of correction of arterial hypertension: modern concepts. (A literature review)]. / Fizicheskie metody korrektsii arterial'noi gipertenzii: sovremennye predstavleniya. (Obzor literatury).

Arterial hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, affecting a large proportion of the population worldwide. The study of the listed literature made it possible to assess the effectiveness and necessity of physical exercise in the treatment of hypertension syndrome, including various types of exercise, intensity, duration, and frequency, since drug treatment is not enough for successful therapy. To prevent and treat hypertension, a comprehensive approach is required, including aerobic exercise, which will lower blood pressure by dilating blood vessels.

[Efficacy of manual correction of cervical spine osteochondrosis in the treatment of arterial hypertension syndrome and prediabetes]. / Effektivnost' manual'noi korrektsii osteokhondroza sheinogo otdela pozvonochnika v terapii sindroma arterial'noi gipertenzii i prediabeta.

Cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus, debuting as arterial hypertension (AH) syndrome and prediabetes, are common types of chronic non-communicable processes, that are the leading cause of death in the world. The main treatment method for above mentioned disorders, according to the current guidelines, is pharmacotherapy. However, it is possible to effectively apply non-pharmacological correction methods, aimed at the probable etiological factor and inversive mechanism involved in AH maintenance, in the early stages when no permanent changes are maintaining a high level of blood hypertension (BH) and glycemia. Frequently, this mechanism is hypoxia in the vertebral arteries system due to cervical spine osteochondrosis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of non-pharmacological methods of restoring brainstem blood supply in patients with AH and prediabetes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The number of patients equal 125 (57 men and 68 women, mean age 63.3±11.5 and 65.4±11.8 y.o., respectively) with prediabetes and 1st degree of AH without target organs damage, among whom 102 patients with prehypertension or 1st degree of hypertension and 24 ones with 2nd degree of hypertension, were examined. The original method of manually restoring brainstem blood supply developed in the Shishonin's Clinic was applied to all patients. The control group included patients with the same disorder, who did not receive manipulations. Blood pressure (BP) measurement, ultrasound and triplex ultrasonography of vertebral arteries, biochemical blood test, and estimation of glycemia and glycated hemoglobin were performed. RESULTS: All patients of the study group had decreased levels of systolic BP (by 23.8±10.7 mm Hg for men and 32.8±11.9 mm Hg for women), an increase of flow velocity in vertebral arteries (by 20.6±7.5 and 21.5±7.2 cm/s, respectively), a decrease of glycated hemoglobin concentration (by 0.32±0.51 and 0.34±0.41%, respectively). In the comparison group, there were no patients with improvement in these indicators. CONCLUSION: The effectiveness of the author's manual method of cervical spine osteochondrosis correction in the reduction of BP and glycemia levels in the early stages of the disease is shown.

[Theory of centralized aerobic-anaerobic energy balance compensation and non-pharmaceutical treatment methods of arterial hypertension]. / Teoriya tsentralizovannoi kompensatsii aerobno-anaerobnogo energeticheskogo balansa i nelekarstvennye metody lecheniya arterial'noi gipertenzii.

Several chronic non-communicable diseases are associated with arterial hypertension and are closely related to increased blood pressure. The theory of centralized aerobic-anaerobic energy balance compensation (TCAAEBC) was formulated in connection with the above-mentioned processes. This theory, including the hypothesis of the «egoistic brain¼, is a broader concept. The key point of TCAAEBC is hypoxic anaerobic metabolism, which affects reflex vascular zones, including the neurons of the respiratory and cardiovascular centers of the rhomboid fossa of the medulla oblongata. Hypoxia correction using manual techniques, physical exercises, and other non-pharmaceutical methods under certain conditions can stabilize the level of blood pressure and has a curative effect in the case of arterial hypertension syndrome.

Search for Invisible Decays of Sub-GeV Dark Photons in Missing-Energy Events at the CERN SPS.

We report on a direct search for sub-GeV dark photons (A^{'}), which might be produced in the reaction e^{-}Z→e^{-}ZA^{'} via kinetic mixing with photons by 100 GeV electrons incident on an active target in the NA64 experiment at the CERN SPS. The dark photons would decay invisibly into dark matter particles resulting in events with large missing energy. No evidence for such decays was found with 2.75×10^{9} electrons on target. We set new limits on the γ-A^{'} mixing strength and exclude the invisible A^{'} with a mass ≲100 MeV as an explanation of the muon g_{µ}-2 anomaly.

Stability analysis of dynamical regimes in nonlinear systems with discrete symmetries.

We present a theorem that allows one to simplify the linear stability analysis of periodic and quasiperiodic nonlinear regimes in N-particle mechanical systems with different kinds of discrete symmetry. This theorem suggests a decomposition of the linearized system arising in the standard stability analysis into a number of subsystems whose dimensions can be considerably less than the dimension of the full system. As an example of such a simplification, we discuss the stability of bushes of modes (invariant manifolds) for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chains and prove another theorem about the maximal dimension of the above-mentioned subsystems.

[The effect of Lendormin (brotizolam) on the sleep structure and subjective assessment of sleep in insomnia patients]. / Vliianie Lendormina (brotizolama) na strukturu sna i sub''ektivnuiu otsenku sna u bol'nykh insomniei.

The influence of Lendormine (diazepine derivative) both on the sleep structure and subjective estimation of sleep was examined in 25 patients at the age of 19-64 years old with neurotic insomnia. The investigation was performed before, during and after 10 days of treatment (0.25 mg before the sleep time). The drug administration resulted in significant improvement of sleep structure that is in sleep duration and efficiency because the drug either promoted falling asleep or increased the second and the forth stages of sleep. Lendormine decreased also the wakening time inside the sleep. The polysomnographic results coincided completely with subjective estimation of sleep by patients themselves after the treatment. The optimal time of therapy didn't exceed 2 weeks. The drug was well tolerated without any complications. The conclusion is made about high effectiveness of Lendormine in the treatment of patients with insomnia.

Diastolic function in patients with coronary artery disease: effect of angina and heart failure functional class.

The diastolic function of left and right parts of the heart using left and right mechanocardiogram method was investigated in 69 male patients with coronary artery disease and preceding myocardial infarction and in 18 normal patients. Nine patients were in angina class I, 28 were in class II, 32 were in class III. Forty-seven patients were in heart failure class II and 22 were in class III. The duration of isometric relaxation and atrium wave in left and right mechanocardiograms was more, and rapid filling wave was less in patients after myocardial infarction than in the control group. The duration of isometric relaxation and of atrium wave in left mechanocardiogram was more, and the duration of rapid filling wave was less in patients with heart failure class III than in patients in class II. The duration of isometric relaxation was more and the duration of rapid filling wave was less in right mechanocardiogram in patients with heart failure class III than in patients in class II. The diastolic abnormalities correlate more with the severity of heart failure than the angina severity. The diastolic abnormalities in right mechanocardiogram were found in patients without clinical manifestations of right ventricle failure.
