[Combined therapy of chronic catarrhal gingivitis using low intensity laser light]. / Kompleksnoe lechenie khronicheskogo kataral'nogo gingivita s primeneniem nizkointensivnogo lazernogo sveta.

Periodontal diseases, one of which is chronic catarrhal gingivitis (CCG), represent a medicosocial problem. Standard therapy often fails to bring about stable results. Addition of low-energy laser exposure at wavelengths of 0.63 micron and 0.85-0.89 micron to therapeutic complexes helps attain stable results, which is confirmed by clinical, functional, immunological, and x-ray data and densitometry. Laser therapy exerts a multifactorial pathogenetic effect, eliminating inflammation in periodontal tissue, normalizing microcirculation in the periodontium, improving mineral saturation of osseous tissue of the alveolar processes of the jaws, and improving local immunity of the oral cavity. All this accelerates treatment and decreases the probability of relapses.

[Dynamic course of neurological syndromes in very young children with the history of intrauterine growth retardation]. / Dinamika nevrologicheskikh syndromov u detei rannego vozrasta, rodivshikhsia s zaderzhkoi vnutriutrombnogo razvitiia.

90 infants with intrauterine growth retardation (IGR) and 100 normal infants (control group) were followed up from 5 days till 3 years of life. In IGR infants there was a more frequent combination of several neurologic syndromes, an early manifestation of motor disorders (from the very moment of birth), a delay of neuro-psychic development (during the first year of life), a tendency to development of moderate hydrocephalus by the age of 6 months. Autonomic-visceral disorders in them were mostly characterized by the symptoms of abaissement, but not of irritation.
