ABSTRACT
Healthy animals and individuals with experimental peptic ulcer were used to evaluate effect of weakly mineralized Tselitel'nitsa water on hormonal control of metabolic and trophic reactions. The mineral water was found to activate regulation of carbohydrate metabolism by insulin and cortisol due to the formation of adaptive reactions during a course of its therapeutic intake. The mineral water promoted realization of trophic effects of gastrin and insulin in animals with peptic ulcer the size of which significantly decreased. A preventive course of therapy with the mineral water was shown to enhance resistance of experimental animals to stressful factors.

This study included 78 patients with lumbar subligamentary herniation. Based on their clinical and functional examination, several variants of diskogenic radiculopathies were distinguished. Special emphasis was laid on the evaluation of efficiency of underwater vertical traction in these patients. The proposed method was shown to produce better effect than underwater horizontal traction when used for the treatment of both axonopathies and axonomyelinopathies. The efficiency of underwater vertical traction applied to the treatment of axonopathies appears to be higher than in patients with axonomyelinopathies.
