[The use of an impulse magnetic field in the combined therapy of patients with stone fragments in the upper urinary tract]. / Primenenie impul'snogo magnitnogo polia v kompleksnoi terapii bol'nykh s fragmentami kamnia v verkhnikh mochevykh putiakh.

The paper covers the experiment's details and the results obtained at stimulation of the kidney projection region and upper ureter with remote-controlled impulse magnetic field (IMF). It was found that IMF activates impulse activity of ureteral smooth muscles in 100% of cases. The technique is detailed of managing ureterolith fragments using IMF combined with iodobromine baths. The results of the proposed treatment are given. A single therapeutic course produced effect in 62.9% of the patients.

[The action of dynamic amplipulse therapy on the urodynamics of the upper urinary tract in patients with kidney and ureteral stone fragments following extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy]. / Deistvie dinamicheskoi amplipul'sterapii na urodinamiku verkhnikh mochevykh putei u bol'nykh s fragmentami kamnia pochki i mochetochnika posle distantsionnoi udarno-volnovoi litotripsii.

Experimental data demonstrate that sinusoidal modulated currents are capable of increasing the frequency and amplitude of smooth muscle biopotentials in animal ureter. Basing on these findings, the authors conducted stone fragments elimination from the upper urinary tracts of patients subjected to pulse lithotripsy by means of an original physiotherapeutic complex: oral mineral water, sodium chloride baths, dynamic amplipulse therapy with 3-4 electrodes pairs applied on the renal area and different ureteral regions. The stones passage from the upper urinary tracts was reported in 91.7% of the cases. Functional improvement in the affected kidney is attributed to the stone elimination and antiinflammatory action of the above balneotherapeutic complex.

[The action of an impulse magnetic field on the motor function recovery of the peripheral nerve trunks]. / Deistvie impul'snogo magnitnogo polia na vosstanovlenie dvigatel'noi funktsii perifericheskikh nervnykh stvolov.

The cut sciatic nerve trunk was sutured perineurally to study in chronic rabbit experiments of the neuromuscular functional recovery upon the exposure to impulse magnetic field with the intensity 1.2 T. Nonexposed animals served control. Myographic activity of reinnervated crural muscles in the irradiated animals recovered two times more rapidly compared to the controls, so did motor function of the limb operated on. It is inferred that impulse magnetic field produces therapeutic and preventive effect on neurodystrophy resultant from the nerve dissection.

[The efficiency of the action of a pulsed magnetic field on the neuromuscular apparatus]. / Effektivnost' deistviia impul'snogo magnitnogo polia na nervno-myshechnyi apparat.

The effect of pulsing magnetic field on the rabbit neuromuscular system was compared with the effect of direct electrical stimulation. The electrophysiological data demonstrated slight difference between myograms after magneto- and electrostimulation. Magnetostimulation was shown to have an advantage in the myogram estimation and contactless action.
