[Correction of age-related changes in facial tissues and restoration of the body's functional reserves using dynamic electroneurostimulation and spectral phototherapy]. / Korrektsiya vozrastnykh izmenenii tkanei litsa i vosstanovlenie funktsional'nykh rezervov organizma s ispol'zovaniem dinamicheskoi elektroneirostimulyatsii i spektral'noi fototerapii.

Theoretical background of a rational combination of dynamic electric neurostimulation (DENS) and spectral phototherapy (SPT) for complex elimination of age-related changes of facial tissues (ARCFT) and restoration of the body's functional reserves (BFR) is provided. Comparative results of separate and combined application of DENS and SPT (DENS&SPT) are provided. The results obtained upon examination of 90 patients have shown that DENS&SPT is more effective compared to separate application of the above procedures for both eliminating ARCFT and increasing BFR. After a course of DENS&SPT procedures, 87.5% of women evaluated the obtained aesthetic result as «significant improvement¼ and «improvement¼. When exposed to DENS&SPT, 5 of 8 measured parameters of facial skin condition improved significantly. At the same time, there was a restoration of BFR stress levels to moderate and optimal levels. DENS&SPT provides a mutually potentiating effect both in the aspect of correction of ARCFT and restoration of BFR decreasing with age.

[The meteopathic reactions as reflected in the indicators of electropuncture diagnostics. A pilot study]. / Otrazhenie meteopaticheskikh reaktsii v pokazateliakh élektropunkturnoi diagnostiki. Pilotnoe issledovanie.

The present article was designed to report the results of the electropuncture diagnostics (EPD) with the use of the 'Prognoz' electropunctural device obtained during the examination of 12 patients who experienced meteopathic reactions (MPR) during magnetic storms. The most frequently detected changes were deviations affecting the acupuncture channels (AC) of the heart, pericardium and triple energizer. The latter underwent the most pronounced deviation from the 'balanced condition'. In 2 cases out of the three (66,6%), its hypofunction was documented The pericardium channel was characterized by extreme asymmetry of its left and right branches. To a lesser extent, a similar asymmetry was apparent in the acupuncture channels of the heart. The present pilot study revealed the noticeable changed in the functional state of two AC (pericardium and triple energizer) in people suffering from meteopathic reactions. It is concluded that the further studies involving a larger population of the weather-dependent subjects is likely to identify other sensitive acupuncture channels; the analysis of their functional condition may be instrumental in determining the typical MPR profiles based on the results of the evaluation of the effectiveness of electropunctural diagnostics. The newly detected patterns may be useful for the development of the personalized approach to the prediction, prevention, and relief of the meteopathic reactions.
