[Myofascial facial massage as a possible method of correction of psychoemotional states]. / Miofastsial'nyi massazh litsa kak vozmozhnyi metod korrektsii psikhoemotsional'nykh sostoyanii.

The work highlights the current problems of the relationship between the tonic activity of facial muscles and psychoemotional states. The frequency and severity of psychoemotional conditions and indicators of tonic activity of the facial muscles in 67 healthy women were studied. The currently known methods for the correction of psycho-emotional states based on the feedback mechanism are analyzed. The effectiveness of use of myofascial face massage as an instrument for the correction of psychological status was assessed. The influence of various massage techniques aimed at relaxing facial muscles on the psychoemotional state in the long term has been proved. The most effective tools for correcting muscle tone for the correction of psychoemotional states are proposed.

[Psychoneurological disorders in acute intoxications by psychotropic drugs and their correction using hyperbaric oxygenation].

The paper presents the results of a study of the clinical features of psychoneurological disorders in 178 patients with acute intoxications by various psychotropic drugs. Hyperbaric oxygenation showed positive changes in psychopathological syndromic kinesis. A sanogenetic rationale is provided for the method of choice in treating this category of patients.

[Transcranial electrical stimulation in the treatment of toxicohypoxic encephalopathy at the early stage of inpatient rehabilitation].

The authors studied the time course of clinical and neuropsychological changes in the use of transcranial mesodiencephalic modulation in the complex treatment of patients with acute poisoning by neurotropic toxicants, which were complicated by toxicohypoxic encephalopathy. The findings suggest the beneficial impact of this technique on the autonomic functions of the brain stem, on the body's adaptive capacities and the psychoemotional sphere, which makes it possible to recommend the programmed use of this method in such patients.

[Time course of toxic hypoxic encephalopathy during combined therapy including hyperbaric oxygenation]. / Dinamika toksikogipoksicheskoi éntsefalopatii pod vozdeistviem kompleksnogo lecheniia s primeneniem giperbaricheskoi oksigenatsii.

The mechanisms of action of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in toxic hypoxic encephalopathy (THE) were studied using clinical psychopathological examinations, functional and laboratory tests in 268 patients with THE treated by a therapeutic complex including HBO and 75 patients with THE treated routinely (controls). The earliest possible addition of HBO to a complex of treatment of THE patients led to involution of signs of brain edema shown by computer tomography (CT) and improvement of its functional activity, while in patients exposed to HBO later the psychoorganic symptoms and CT signs of cerebral ischemia did not disappear. Detoxifying, neuroimmunomodulating, and neuroimmunostimulating effects of HBO in THE were demonstrated. Early HBO treatment decreased the dysfunction of various compartments of the brain characteristic of THE. The technology of HBO developed by the authors prevented the development of socially dysadapting psychoneurological disorders and reduced the mortality of THE patients.

Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) was used in intensive care of patients with acute exogenous poisonings. Impaired oxygen homeostasis was pathogenetically significant, irrespective of the toxic agent. HBO added to a complex of intensive care measures was pathogenetically justified and promoted normalization of clinical and biochemical parameters of homeostasis.

Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) was used in the treatment of 475 patients with toxic encephalopathy (TE) developing as a result of exo- and endotoxicosis. HBO promoted correction of all components of homeostasis, decreased endotoxicosis, reduced psychopathological and neurological disorders, and promoted social adaptation.
