[The use of the microclimate of artificial sylvinite speleoclimatic chambers in treating patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis]. / Ispol'zovanie mikroklimata iskusstvennykh sil'vinitovykh speleoklimaticheskikh kamer v lechenii bol'nykh khronicheskim obstruktivnym bronkhitom.

67 patients with purulent and 63 with catarrhal chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) were subjected to clinico-laboratory, functional and bronchoscopic examinations. 41% of the patients had COB exacerbation, 59% were in partial remission. As shown by improvement in clinical, immunological and morphological indices, blood biochemistry, sputum microscopy, spirometry, bronchoscopy findings, artificial sylvinite speleotherapy is effective in acute and purulent COB.

[Transcerebral exposure to sinusoidal modulated currents in bronchial asthma patients]. / Transtserebral'noe vozdeistvie sinusoidal'nymi modulirovannymi tokami u bol'nykh bronkhial'noi astmoi.

Clinical examination of 85 patients with bronchial asthma (BA) revealed thyroid affection proved by ultrasonic and/or hormone profile investigation in 42(49%) patients. Transcerebral treatment with sinusoidal modulated currents gave rise to positive trends in external respiration, clinical and biochemical blood indices, immunity status which appeared more pronounced in BA patients without the endocrine disorder.

[A validation for the combined transcerebral exposure to a UHF electrical field and to decimeter waves in the area of the splenic projection in bronchial asthma]. / Obosnovanie kombinirovannogo transtserebral'nogo vozdeistviia EP UVCh i DMB na oblast' proektsii selezenki pri bronkhial'noi astme.

Thirty patients with bronchial asthma of moderate severity in unstable remission were treated with transcerebral UHF electric field and decimeter waves on the spleen region. Clinical and laboratory postexposure findings provided evidence in favour of the regimens used. Tolerance of the procedures, comparative efficacy regarding the clinico-pathogenetic variant, probable mechanisms of therapeutic action are discussed.

[The effect of the transcerebral action of an ultrahigh-frequency electrical field on endocrine gland function in chronic alcoholics]. / Vliianie transtserebral'nogo vozdeistviia élektricheskogo polia ul'travysokoi chastoty na funktsiiu éndokrinnykh zhelez u bol'nykh khronicheskim alkogolizmom.

A course use of the transcerebral effect of HF-electric field was shown to get back to normal disturbed endocrine functions in chronic alcoholic patients causing a moderate rise of ACTH and prolactin levels, the reduction of the basal increased level of cortisol and a rise of the basal decreased level of testosterone. This method is recommended as an integral part of therapeutic and rehabilitation measures in alcoholism.
