[The use of laser radiation and sinusoidal modulated currents in the therapy of patients with chronic calculous pyelonephritis]. / Primenenie lazernogo izlucheniia i sinusoidal'nykh modulirovannykh tokov v terapii bol'nykh khronicheskim kal'kuleznym pielonefritom.

The authors present a technique of treating chronic calculous pyelonephritis with laser radiation and sinusoidal modulated currents which promotes a complete elimination of the calculus fragments in 100, 70 and 50% of the patients in the stone size 0.2-0.5 cm, 0.5-0.7 cm and > 7 cm, respectively. This combined therapy had also antiinflammatory, and immunity-stimulating effects.

[The characteristics of the hypotensive effect of combined cryo- and interference therapy in arterial hypertension patients]. / Osobennosti gipotenzivnogo éffekta sochetannoi kriointerferentsterapii u bol'nykh arterial'noi gipertoniei.

Cryotherapy was combined with interference currents in the treatment of 93 patients with mild and moderate hypertension. Compared to single use of these factors, their combination potentiates hypotensive effect, i.e. lowers systolic and diastolic pressure already after the first procedure, stabilizes it after 3-4 procedures.

[The combined therapy of patients with chronic nonspecific pyelonephritis using interference currents and and radon procedures]. / Kompleksnaia terapiia bol'nykh khronicheskim nespetsificheskim pielonefritom interferentsionnymi tokami i radonovymi protsedurami.

The exposure of the lumbar region to interference currents in combination with radon baths conducted in 37 patients with chronic pyelonephritis inhibited activity of the inflammation, hypercalciuria and hyperoxaluria, improved function of the kidneys. The same clinical effects were achieved in 32 patients who had received interference therapy in combination with intake of radon water.

[The use of interference currents and iodobromine baths in the therapy of patients with chronic nonobstructive pyelonephritis]. / Primenenie interferentsionnykh tokov i iodobromnykh vann v terapii bol'nykh khronicheskim neobstruktivnym pielonefritom.

30 patients were exposed to interference currents (IC) alone (group 1) versus 34 patients treated with IC plus iodobromine baths (group 2). After IC action on the region of the kidney projection patients of group 1 experienced positive changes in cellular and humoral immunity providing an antiinflammatory effect. In group 2, the improvement was seen in renal and urinary functions, 24-h urinary excretion of oxalates and calcium diminished. Interference current proved beneficial in chronic pyelonephritis patients with latent inflammation. The combined therapy was effective in patients at high risk of lithogenesis.

[The use of sinusoidal modulated currents and iodobromine baths in treating patients with the "stone pathway" of the upper urinary tract]. / Primenenie sinusoidal'nykh modulirovannykh tokov i iodobromnykh vann v lechenii bol'nykh s "kamennoi dorozhkoi" verkhnikh mochevykh putei.

After exposure to sinusoidal modulated currents and iodinebromine baths there was a decrease in serum levels of calcium, alanin aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase and urinary calcium, oxalates, leukocytes, red cells, acceleration of radiopharmaceutical accumulation (Tmax) and elimination from the kidneys (T1/2), urolith fragments (1-5 mm in size) elimination from the upper urinary tract in 21 (48.9%) out of 43 patients. The above physiotherapeutic complex is indicated for urolithiasis patients with associated diseases (hyperesthesia, causalgia).

[The use of local vibration and ultrasound in the rehabilitation of urolithiasis patients with the "stone pathway" syndrome of the distal ureter]. / Primenenie lokal'noi vibratsii i ul'trazvuka v reabilitatsii bol'nykh mochekamennoi bolezn'iu s sindromom "kamennoi dorozhki" distal'nogo otdela mochetochnika.

Sequential intrarectal impacts with local vibration and ultrasound on distal part of ureter in 60 patients with "stone pathway" promoted elimination of the stone fragments in 58 (96.7%) patients. The size of the urolith fragments varied from 1 to 5 mm.

[Physical factors in the therapy of secondary chronic pyelonephritis]. / Fizicheskie faktory v terapii vtorichnykh khronicheskikh pielonefritov.

The authors have developed combined therapy of secondary chronic pyelonephritis with immune and urodynamic dysfunctions. The treatment includes physical factors: decimeter microwaves, gangleron-electrophoresis with sinusoidal modulated currents, sodium chloride baths, oral mineral water Moskovskaia. The adjuvant use of the above physical factors proved advantageous.

[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.

[Effects of short-wave therapy in patients with chronic pyelonephritis]. / Effetto della marconiterapia in pazienti con pielonefrite cronica.

One hundred and twenty patients (64 men and 56 women, aged 19 to 63) with chronic pyelonephritis were subdivided into two groups: a control group of 30 subjects and an experimental one of 90 subjects. Experimental subjects underwent short wave therapy (460 MHz, 50-60 W, for 8-20 minutes) in the lumbar area. Lumbosacral pain disappeared in 87 out of 90, subjects, intercostal pain in 20 out of 28, headache mitigated in 40 out of 53, asthenia was markedly reduced in 49 out of 50. Systolic and diastolic hypertension was reduced, as well as the Kakorski-Addis count in urine. Diurnal diuresis and lysozyme increased, while IgG, IgA and IgM were reduced.

Physical methods used in the complex therapy of chronic non-specific urinary tract diseases.

A total of 237 patients with non-specific diseases of the urinary tract have been examined and treated. The observations conducted indicate that correctly chosen therapeutic techniques in this category of patients palliate the inflammatory process, normalize the function of the kidneys, and thus provoke a positive effect on the course of chronic pyelonephritis and cystitis by enhancing the urodynamics of the lower urinary tract.
