[The clinical picture and course of Lyme disease in children in the city of Krasnoyarsk]. / Klinika i techenie bolezni Laima u detei goroda Krasnoiarska.

The paper describes the clinical picture and course of Lyme's disease (LD) in children from the city of Krasnoyarsk. The disease was ascertained to have a wide range of clinical manifestations: cutaneous changes, visceral abnormalities, involvement of the locomotor and nervous systems into the pathological process. The paper characterizes possible late consequences of the prior disease, which justifies the necessity of timely diagnosis and treatment of LD in children.

[Reproduction of a given frequency of rhythmic movements in lesions of different motor formations]. / Vosproizvedenie zadannykh tempov ritmicheskikh dvizhenii pri porazhenii razlichnykh motornykh obrazovanii

By means of the tapping method the authors studied the capability of reproducting induced paces of rhythmical movements in 22 patients with the localization of the pathological process in subcortical nodes and in the brain stem. The induction of temporary programmes was accomplished by an electrophotostimulator, while the tapping registration--by an electromyo- and electroencephalographic method. It was demonstrated that in parkinsonic patients the most successful reproduction was accomplished in a pace of 6 hz. In cortical lesion there was a tendency to slow pace (1-2 hz), to a perseveration of made mistakes and a difficulty in transmitting from one pace to another. In stem lesions there was a disturbance in the reproduction of paces in all series of the experiment. The authors discuss the hypothesis of an existence of endogenous temporary programmes as an independent neurophysiological factor. It is being assumed that a study of the influence of external rhythmical signals on the internal (endogenous) time may have a decisive importance for special methods of rehabilitation of motor functions.
