[The use of apiotherapy and radon baths in treating syringomyelia]. / Primenenie apiterapii i radonovykh vann pri lechenii siringomielii.

In Vologda Province, syringomyelia is rather prevalent (2.9 per 100,000 population). In view of the fact that the clinical symptoms are refractory to the treatment methods applied (roentgenotherapy and radioactive iodine), the combined use of apiotherapy (honey bee and flower pollen) and radon baths was attempted. It turned out to be undoubtedly effective.

[Dissociated symptoms of the progressive course of brain injury]. / Dissotsiirovannye simptomy progredientnogo techeniia travmaticheskoi bolezni golovnogo mozga.

Hypotension of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was detected in 18% of 856 patients with brain trauma examined in the study. Three syndromes of dissociated hypotension of the CSF were described: (1) at the level of the Magendie-Luschka openings; (2) at the level of the aqueduct of Sylvius; (3) at the level of the third ventricle. Each level of hypotension of the CSF was attended by a specific clinical syndrome. The parameters of the progressive course of the disease made it possible upon their identification to begin the rehabilitation of patients at the earliest stage which led to a faster compensation. Special attention was given to apitherapy, phytococtails and instillations of special coctails for controlling the dissociation between CSF hypotension and hydrocephaly. The conducted rehabilitation made it possible to significantly reduce the incidence of crises indicative of the decompensation of brain injury.

[The extension of the use of physical methods of treatment to patients with disseminated sclerosis]. / Rasshirenie primeneniia fizicheskikh metodov lecheniia bol'nykh rasseiannym sklerozom.

The trial of various physiotherapeutic and balneological modalities (radon and turpentine baths, heparin electrophoresis, diadynamic current, acupuncture) in 317 patients with disseminated sclerosis showed their high therapeutical potential in the disease stage II-IV. The techniques and schedules need further investigations.
