[Craniospinal electromagnetic therapy in the neurological practice].

Effectiveness of a new method for treating neurological disorders based on the use of trans-cranial electro- and magnetic stimulation in patients with vascular, vertebral and traumatic pathology of the nervous system is presented. Different frequency parameters of transcranial electrical stimulation and superposition methods of the magnetic generator are proposed taking into account the specific features of neurodynamics and pathogenesis of diseases. The effect of craniospinal electromagnetic therapy on the autonomic nervous system is demonstrated.

[Neurological and mental disorders in combatants]. / Nevrologicheskie i psikhicheskie rasstroistva u uchastikov voevykh deistvii.

Four hundred and twenty patients admitted to the veteran's hospital with neuro- and psychopathology have been examined. Along with clinical, neurological, psychiatric and psychological methods, electroencephalography, computed tomography, electrocardiography, ultrasonic and X-ray methods for nervous system investigation as well as biochemical and immunological blood examination were used. The following disorders were singled out: (1) mental disorders--neurosis, personality pathology, post-traumatic stress disorder and different types of addictions (alcoholism, drug dependence): (2) consequences of craniocerebral and other injuries; (3) psychosomatic pathology. The prevalence, clinical manifestations and dynamics of each group of disorders are studied and their patho- and sanogenesis in terms of theory of functional systems are regarded.

[Hypertensive angioencephalopathies]. / Gipertonicheskie angioéntsefalopatii.

The results of clinical and physiological study of 2000 patients, aged 20-60 years, suffering from hypertensive encephalopathy with differential evaluation of varying cerebrovascular pathology types (according to RAMS Neurology Institute classification) and stages of their development were summarized. The complex of methods used comprised psychological personality questionnaires, neuropsychological methods, computed tomography, rheoencephalography, ultrasonic diagnosis, etc. The data was computer processed. The main diagnostic and prognostic criteria for chronic hypertensive angioencephalopathies on early stages of arterial hypertension and the principles of their prevention are outlined.

[The magneto-, photo- and laser therapy of headaches in patients with vascular brain lesions]. / Magnito-, foto- i lazerterapiia tsefalgii u bol'nykh s sosudistymi porazheniiami mozga.

To manage vascular cephalalgia, a combined approach is proposed: segmentally oriented magnetic, photo- and photomagnetic therapy plus intravenous laser treatment. The effect was directly correlated with cerebral hemodynamic condition, damage to vegetative innervation segmental-peripheral link and physiotherapeutic factors.

[Effect of chronic pathology of the upper cervical sympathetic ganglion on the cerebral cortex (experimental study)]. / O vozdeistvii khronicheskoi patologii verkhnego sheinogo simpaticheskogo gangliia na koru mozga (éksperimental'noe issledovanie)]

A study was made of the character of disorders of glycogen metabolism and dynamics of the glycogen synthetic properties of sensorimotor cortical neurons at different stages of dystrophic processes under chronic irritation of the anterior cervical ganglion. The authors demonstrate the local glycogen synthesis in synapse ultrastructures, which is of paramount importance for local homeostasis, ensuring high plasticity and dynamism of cortical synapses in information transmission. Decimetric radiotherapy revealed that the sclerosed sympathetic ganglion exerts a permanent tonic effect on the regulation of intracerebral vessels. It may be assumed that control of sympathetic fibers from the cervical ganglion is aimed to a definite measure at specialized regulation of energy brain supply.

[The theoretical methodological aspects of preventing nervous system diseases]. / Teoretiko-metodologicheskie aspekty profilaktiki zabolevanii nervnoi sistemy.

The theoretical and methodological aspects of the development of the integrated programs of preventing nervous diseases are reviewed. Among the methodological problems evidence is provided for ecological, epidemiological, preclinical, systemic, individualized and rehabilitation approaches. The concept is given of the dynamic patho- and sanogenesis of nervous diseases including neurophylo-ontogenesis, neuroreactivity and neuroadaptivity, polyfactorial nature and dynamism, staged and phasic nature of the course of nervous system conditions. Criteria for the efficacy of the rehabilitation and preventive programs are distinguished.

[An automated system of diagnosis of cerebrovascular diseases for preventive mass screening of the population]. / Sistema avtomatizirovannoi diagnostiki tserebrovaskuliarnykh zabolevanii dlia profilakticheskikh osmotrov naseleniia.

Employing 19 criteria the authors have elaborated simple formal diagnostic rules in tabulated and automated modes which help detect cerebrovascular diseases in the course of prophylactic check-ups of the population. The automated diagnostic variant includes the assessment of the questionnaire data, rheoencephalography and electrocardiography. The application of this variant has allowed the diagnosis of the disease in 95.4%. The system of automated diagnosis makes it possible to significantly increase the quality and efficacy of wide-scale prophylactic check-ups of the population.

[Health-related and pathogenetic aspects of vascular diseases of the nervous system]. / Sano- i patogeneticheskie aspekty sosudistykh zabolevanii nervnoi sistemy.

A concept of the dynamic patho- and sanogenesis of vascular diseases of the nervous system was developed on the basis of clinico-physiological studies. The concept is based on the data on the philo- and ontogenesis, reactivity and adaptability+, complexity and dynamism, stages and phases of the process. The concept suggested may serve the basis for elaborating the program of preventing cerebrovascular diseases.

[Prevention of vascular diseases of the nervous system]. / K profilaktike sosudistykh zabolevanii nervnoi sistemy.

On the basis of the literature data and the findings of their own studies the authors consider methodological aspects of the prevention of vascular diseases of the nervous system. Epidemiological, prenosological, systemic, individualized and rehabilitative approaches to the creation of the system for the prevention of vascular diseases of the nervous system have been determined.
