[Neurohumoral regulation during balneotherapy of children with diffuse thyroid enlargement]. / Osobennosti neirogumoral'noi reguliatsii organizma v protesesse bal'neolecheniia detei s diffuznym uvelicheniem shchitovidnoi zhelezy.

Spectral analysis of cardiac rhythm registered neurohumoral rearrangements which indicated differences in activity of regulatory mechanisms in children with diffuse enlargement of the thyroid. This activity varied with the size of the thyroid, age of patients, special effects of sodium-chloride (mineralization 20 and 40 g/l) and iodobromine baths. Indications and contraindications are specified to administration of these factors in diffuse thyroid enlargement of the first and second degree.

The incidence rate of functional disorders in the cardiovascular system as well as in the vegetative nervous system was found out to be on the increase in those children with cardial pathology residing in a large industrial centre. Sanatorium-health resort treatment was noted to make for improvement of vegetative regulation of the cardiac activity, enhancement of compensatory-and-adaptive potentialities of the organism, which facts warrant a wider use of health resorts in the rehabilitative treatment of children experiencing additional environmental loads of a large industrial centre.

[A spectral analysis of the cardiac rhythm in children with cardiovascular diseases living in areas under radiation control]. / Spektral'nyi analiz serdechnogo ritma u detei s serdechno-sosudistymi zabolevaniiami, prozhivaiushchikh na territoriiakh radiatsionnogo kontrolia.

Spectral analysis of cardiac rhythm has determined characteristics of humoral, sympathetic and parasympathetic regulation in children with cardiac abnormalities and thyroid hyperplasia. The examinees demonstrated low activity of humoral immunity, high sympathetic influences, slight variability of frequency-amplitude characteristics. Sanatorium treatment improved regulation of cardiac activity. Spectral analysis of cardiac rhythm proved efficient for optimization of physiotherapy.

Children exposed to low-dose radiation are often treated in sanatoria with mineral baths. Of the latter balneoprocedures widely practiced are sodium chloride (SC) baths with mineralization 20-30 g/l. Mineralization 40 g/l is less frequently used. To specify changes in the function of cardiovascular system induced by SC baths of different concentration (40 versus 20 g/l) 131 senior schoolchildren exposed to low-dose radiation or other environmental pollutants were examined both after a single balneological procedure and after the course treatment (maximum 10 procedures). The baths lasted 8-15 min at water temperature 36-38 OC in a day intervals. The response was assessed by ECG, tetrapolar chest rheography, bicycle exercise. All the children had cardiovascular disorders of non-rheumatic origin. Therapeutic effect was more pronounced after baths with SC concentration 40 g/l. These baths are recommended for improvement of vegetative regulation of the heart, correction of hemodynamic defects. Baths with mineralization 20 g/l are better in upgrading function of the autonomic nervous system.

A favourable effect of sanatorium treatment on the key body functions was found in children with thyroid hyperplasia consequent to environmental pollution due to Chernobyl accident. It is emphasized that balneofactors in the above children should be used in sparing regimens.

[The action of sanatorium-health resort treatment on autonomic endocrine regulation in children with functional changes in cardiac activity]. / Deistvie sanatorno-kurortnogo lecheniia na sostoianie vegetativno-éndokrinnoi reguliatsii u detei s funktsional'nymi izmeneniiami serdechnoi deiatel'nosti.

During sanatorium treatment children with cardiac disturbances developed equilibrium between adrenergic and cholinergic effects on cardiac activity. Vegetative dysfunctions declined. There was a positive trend in glucocorticoid and thyroid conditions. Individual application regimens of mud and galvanic mud therapy have been designed basing on changes in the vegeto-endocrine status.

[The course of the period of adaptation and readaptation at the health resort-sanatorium stage of treating children with functional changes to the cardiovascular system]. / Techenie perioda adaptatsii i readaptatsii na étape sanatorno-kurortnogo lecheniia detei s funktsional'nymi izmeneniiami serdechno-sosudistoi sistemy.

Children with cardiovascular dysfunction on sanatorium treatment underwent adaptation which proceeds without pathological shifts and depends on initial functional status of a child. Readaptation was associated with more serious alterations. Critical periods of an unfavorable course of adaptation and readaptation are described. Corrective measures are considered with respect to cardiovascular, autonomous nervous and psychoemotional statuses.
