[The biological rhythms of cardiac activity based on cardiointervalography in children with rheumatism during readaptation after sanatorium treatment]. / Biologicheskie ritmy serdechnoi deiatel'nosti po dannym kardiointervalografii u detei s revmatizmom v period readaptatsii posle sanatornogo lecheniia.

Heart rate as an integral characteristic of systemic condition in rheumatism was studied in 11-13-year-old children with rheumatic heart disease. The children achieved remission by clinical and laboratory tests and were experiencing postsanatorium readaptation. Pretreatment amplitude of the fluctuations from the mean circadian values were reduced in the patients compared to healthy controls. This shows low compensatory potential of the rheumatic children. Adaptation after sanatorium treatment aggravates the above amplitude diminution, acrophases shifted to later local time.

[The effect of geophysical and meteorological factors on the course of chronic obstructive lung diseases at a low-mountain altitude]. / Vliianie geofizicheskikh i meteorologicheskikh faktorov na techenie khronicheskikh obstruktivnykh zabolevanii legkikh v usloviiakh nizkogor'ia.

In the climate of north Kirghizia meteoropathologic reactions arise in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis in the time of cold atmospheric front passing, are spastic, phasic, associated with pulmonary circulation and growing generalized bronchial obstruction. Prefrontal period (weather hypoxia) is meteoropathogenic for asthmatics who are responsive to geophysical disturbances influencing obstruction of the small bronchi.

[The rehabilitative treatment of children with bronchial asthma]. / Vosstanovitel'noe lechenie detei, bol'nykh bronkhial'noi astmoi.

Staged regimen of decimetric wave electromagnetic therapy and microclimate of high altitude salt mines were used in sanatorium treatment of children with bronchial asthma. Pretreatment with the above magnetic field induced positive changes in the reflex-segmental zone which reflected in better adaptation to the high altitude climate. The latter promoted beneficial rearrangement of respiratory function and cardiovascular system.

[The use of EHF therapy in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic bronchitis at a moderate altitude]. / Primenenie KVCh-terapii v reabilitatsii bol'nykh khronicheskim bronkhitom v usloviiakh srednegor'ia.

Patients treated in mid-altitude conditions for chronic bronchitis were exposed to EHF radiation. As shown by positive changes in external respiration, systemic and pulmonary hemodynamics, immune status, surface activity of lung surfactant, EHF therapy is effective in chronic bronchitis with ventilation disorders. The more severe these disorders were, the more marked the benefit was.

[The correction of hypoxic damage to the pulmonary surfactant system of rats with extremely high-frequency electromagnetic fields]. / Korrektsiia gipoksicheskogo povrezhdeniia surfaktantnoi sistemy legkikh krys élektromagnitnymi poliami kraine vysokoi chastoty.

54 white rats were studied physically, histochemically and morphometrically for the effect of EHF electromagnetic field on repair of the lung surfactant system. The damage was inflicted by acute hypoxia existing at the altitude of 9000 m above the sea level simulated in the chamber. For the period studied natural repair was unable to secure the return to normal structure and function of the surfactant system, whereas daily 20-minute exposures to millimetric waves on the chest stimulated repair on after-exposure day 1-5 and provided normalization of all the physical and morphometric parameters.
