[Bioelectrical activity of the brain after proton therapy of hypophyseal adenoma]. / Bioélektricheskaia aktivnost' golovnogo mozga posle protonnoi terapii adenomy gipofiza.

In 37 patients with endosellar pituitary adenoma attended by the acromegaloid syndrome, a plasma STH level determined by a radioimmunoassay against a background of an insulin test was compared with EEG findings before and at varying time (up to 7 yrs.) after proton beam therapy using the synchrocyclotron of the Leningrad Institute of Nuclear Physics. EEG was shown to be an informative method of diagnosis of continuous pituitary adenoma growth and complications of proton beam therapy in the form of temporal paroxysms.

[Clinico-electrophysiologic and morphologic evaluation of the hypothalamic structures of neurosurgical patients]. / Kliniko-élektrofiziologicheskaia i morfologicheskaia otsenka gipotalamicheskikh struktur u neirokhirurgicheskikh bol'nykh.

Hypothalamic disorders develop often in neurosurgical patients in the clinic. Complex study of the condition of the hypothalamic structures disclosed a relationship between the pronounced character of the disorders of the vegetative functions, changes of the EEG values according to the degree of alpha-rhythm maintenance, and the morphological changes of the hypothalamus. The results obtained can be used in working out the most adequate pathogenetic therapy.
