[Therapeutic physical factors in chronic inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs. (A wounded home-controlled study)]. / Lechebnye fizicheskie faktory pri khronicheskikh vospalitel'nykh zabolevaniyakh organov malogo taza. (Randomizirovannoe kontroliruemoe issledovanie).

INTRODUCTION: In case of chronic inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs (CID) in women, it is advisable to use therapeutic physical factors that have a sanogenetic effect in rehabilitation treatment programs. AIM: To study the effectiveness of complex restorative treatment of patients with chronic salpingoophoritis with the consistent use of therapeutic physical factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 96 patients with chronic salpingoophoritis at the age of 18 to 49 years. Two groups were formed by a simple sampling method: in the main group (MG/n=44), against the background of standardized treatment in inpatient conditions, patients received intravaginal ultrasound therapy, in non-hospital settings - interference therapy; in the control group (CG/n=41) - women received only standardized therapy. The criteria for the effectiveness of treatment were: determination of markers of pain and inflammation; ultrasound examination of the ovarian arteries with their Doppler measurements; assessment of quality of life criteria. RESULTS: Comprehensive restorative treatment of patients with chronic salpingoophoritis with sequential use of curative physical factors (CPF), according to direct and long-term observations, provides a significant reduction in pain intensity (p<0.01), inflammation (p<0.01), peripheral blood flow (p<0.01), physical and mental health (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: The implementation of a new developed method of restorative treatment of patients with chronic salpingoophoritis with sequential use of CPF provided a significant increase of 10-12% in the effectiveness of therapeutic measures in comparison with standardized therapy (p<0.05-<0.01).

[The effect of internal course intake of selenium-modified mineral water on bone mineral density after long-term diet-induced metabolic disorders in the experiment. (Randomized controlled trial)]. / Vliyanie vnutrennego kursovogo priema modifitsirovannykh selenom mineral'nykh vod na mineral'nuyu plotnost' kostnoi tkani posle dlitel'nogo diet-indutsirovannogo narusheniya metabolizma v eksperimente. (Randomizirovannoe kontroliruemoe issledovanie).

INTRODUCTION: The phenomenon of therapeutic and prophylactic effect of natural mineral waters (MW) used to restore tissue tolerance to glucose and normalize basal insulin secretion in metabolic syndrome is well known. At the same time, the use of selenium-enriched MW is promising due to its multitarget action including participation in the regulation of the protein-synthesizing function of cells. AIM: To study the effect of internal course intake of selenium-modified mineral waters of different composition on bone mineral density after long-term diet-induced metabolic disorders in the experiment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was carried out on outbred male white rats that were distributed into 3 control groups (CG) and 4 main groups (MG). In CG1 14 animals received laboratory food and drinking water; in CG2 14 animals were modeled for diet-induced metabolic disorders, and they were withdrawn from the experiment the day after the cancellation of the hypercaloric diet (180 days); after the cancellation of the hypercaloric diet 180 days later 14 animals with diet-induced metabolic disorders in CG3 had a standard diet (laboratory food and drinking water) for 30 days. In the experimental groups (EG), the animals similarly to CG3 were modeled diet-induced metabolic disorders, after the cancellation of the diet they had a standard diet and watering with MW. In MG1 18 animals were given MW1 (Essentuki-4); in MG2 19 animals had a course of MW1Se (Essentuki-4 enriched with selenium); in MG3 14 animals had a course of MW2 (Slavyanovskaya); in MG4 18 animals had a course of MB2Se (Slavyanovskaya enriched with selenium). The weight (body weight) of the animals was monitored monthly. Biochemical studies, densitometry and computed microtomography were used to determine the effectiveness of MW. RESULTS: The characteristics of spongy bone tissue of femoral metaphysis of the rats of the control groups revealed disorders of varying degrees, but, despite this, the bone tissue structure of the examined vertebral bodies in animals without a hyper caloric diet (CG1) was preserved. The analysis of the study results demonstrated a significant effectiveness of selenium-enriched MW in regulating metabolic processes (p<0.05-p<0.01), bone mineral density (p<0.05), reduced bone resorption (p<0.05), that is, the characteristics of spongy bone tissue of femoral metaphysis and vertebral bodies of animals showed a clear tendency to restore bone structure. CONCLUSION: The results of this study make it possible to predict an increase in the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation of patients with somatic diseases when selenium-enriched MW is included in the programmes.

[Patient-oriented medical rehabilitation after stroke in long-term recovery period]. / Patsientoorientirovannaya meditsinskaya reabilitatsiya bol'nykh posle ostrogo narusheniya mozgovogo krovoobrashcheniya v pozdnem vosstanovitel'nom periode.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of patient-oriented medical rehabilitation on microcirculation, motions in affected limbs and quality of life in patients with previous stroke in long-term recovery period. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 120 patients with previous stroke, hemiparesis and spastic disorders in late recovery period. All patients received standard drug therapy and medical rehabilitation (exercise therapy and medical massage). All patients were divided into 3 groups depending on additional measures: group 1 (n=40) - massage in a pulsed low-frequency electrostatic field in addition to standard complex of rehabilitation; group 2 (n=40) - course of multimodal physiotherapeutic effects (Alpha LED Oxy Light-Spa) in addition to standard complex; group 3 (n=40) - standard drug therapy and medical rehabilitation only (exercise therapy and medical massage). Patients were examined immediately after treatment, 3 and 6 months later. We analyzed effectiveness of rehabilitation using laser Doppler flowmetry (LAKK-01, Russia) and goniometry. Subjective indicators of quality of life were assessed according to the EQ-5D questionnaire (European Quality of Life Questionnaire). RESULTS: At baseline, all patients showed a decrease in microcirculation, motions in affected limbs and subjective decrease in the quality of life. In the 1st group, rehabilitation program improved microcirculatory processes that was confirmed by increment of capillary blood flow by 24% and total vasomotor activity of capillaries by 26.8%. There was a significant decrease in EQ-5D score by 37% in the 1st and 2nd groups after treatment that indicated increase in the quality of life. In the 3rd group, we observed mild increase of microcirculation parameters, range of motions and quality of life. CONCLUSION. P: Ersonalized methods of complex rehabilitation contribute to improvement of microcirculation, range of motions in affected limbs and quality of life in patients with spasticity in long-term recovery period after stroke.

[Efficiency of balance training with stabilizing platform in early postoperative rehabilitation of patients after arthroplasty]. / Effektivnost' vklyucheniya balans-treninga s ispol'zovaniem stabiloplatformy v kompleksnye programmy rannei posleoperatsionnoi reabilitatsii patsientov posle endoprotezirovaniya.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of balance training on stabilizing platform (HUBER360) in early postoperative rehabilitation of patients after total knee arthroplasty. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We examined 60 patients after total knee arthroplasty. Mean age of patients was 69.1±9.8 years, mean postoperative period - 3.6±1.4 days. All patients were divided into 2 groups (main group (n=30) and control group (n=30)). All patients received a standard course of treatment, including therapeutic exercises, massage of affected lower in electro-static field limb using a drainage technique, magnetotherapy, mechanotherapy of affected limb in passive motor mode (Artromot device). Duration of rehabilitation course in a round-the-clock hospital was 7 days. In the main group, patients additionally received balance-training procedures on the HUBER 360 multiaxial platform in baseline sitting position. RESULTS: Treatment was followed by positive dynamics in all patients that correlated with significant regression of pain syndrome, edema, improvement of quality of life and 10-meter walk test with external support on crutches. However, additional balance training provided more effective regression of pain, as well as improvement of quality of life and walking after the first procedures. CONCLUSION: We can recommend balance training on stabilizing platform for early rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty.

[The role of systemic ozone therapy in the rehabilitation of patients after COVID-19]. / Rol' sistemnoi ozonoterapii v reabilitatsii patsientov, perenesshikh COVID-19.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ozone therapy in rehabilitation of patients with previous COVID-19. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A randomized controlled clinical trial included 51 patients aged 29 - 78 years with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia (J12.8). Patients were divided into 3 comparable groups depending on the complex of rehabilitation. In the first (control) group (n=17), a 10-day course included daily breathing exercises and physiotherapy for the lungs (drug electrophoresis and low-frequency magnetotherapy). In the second (main) group (n=18), rehabilitation was combined with daily intravenous infusions of ozonized saline with ozone concentration of 2.0 mg/l within 5 days with subsequent standard rehabilitation. In the third group (n=16), patients received 5 ozone therapy procedures every other day. To determine the effectiveness and safety of systemic ozone therapy in rehabilitation of patients with previous COVID-19, we analyzed oxygen saturation, laboratory data (D-dimer and C-reactive protein), need for oxygen support before and after rehabilitation course. Complaints and quality of life throughout the rehabilitation program were assessed using the EQ-5D questionnaire. RESULTS: All patients had positive changes of all parameters. There were no adverse reactions throughout the rehabilitation program and 2 months later. We observed higher effectiveness of rehabilitation with systemic ozone therapy. Moreover, daily ozone therapy had a better effect on laboratory parameters compared to ozone therapy every other day. CONCLUSION: Ozone therapy is safe and effective in complex rehabilitation of patients with previous COVID-19. Further studies of large samples are needed to determine indications and appropriate criteria for this rehabilitation program.

[Influence of complex rehabilitation programs on the uterine blood flow in patients of different age after plastic surgery for rectocele]. / Vliyanie reabilitatsionnykh kompleksnykh programm na pokazateli matochnogo krovotoka po dannym 3D-ekhodopplerografii u patsientok raznykh vozrastnykh grupp posle plasticheskoi operatsii po povodu rektotsele.

OBJECTIVE: To develop the optimized complex programs, including general magnetotherapy, fractional microablative therapy with a CO2 laser, electromyostimulation with biofeedback of the pelvic floor muscles, and a special exercise therapy complex in late rehabilitation programs for women of different age after reconstructive plastic surgery for rectocele. MATERIAL AND METHODS: There were 200 women of childbearing, peri- and menopausal age with rectocele grade II-III and 20 healthy women of comparable age. All patients were divided into 4 groups by 50 womes: main group, two comparison groups and control group. Surgical treatment of rectocele was followed by long-term postoperative rehabilitation including symptomatic therapy, general magnetotherapy, and electromyostimulation with biofeedback of the pelvic floor muscles, intra-vaginal fractional microablative therapy with a CO2 laser and special complex of therapeutic physical education. RESULTS: General magnetotherapy in early (1 day) postoperative period and complex rehabilitation in long-term postoperative period (within a month after surgery) including 2 procedures of intra-vaginal microablative fractional therapy with carbon dioxide laser, electromyostimulation with biological connection of the pelvic floor muscles and special complex of therapeutic physical education ensured more significant improvement of uterine blood flow regardless age and baseline disorders in the uterine arteries in patients with rectocele. In our opinion, this is primarily due to vasoactive effects of general magnetotherapy, recovery of circulation via relief of spasm in the arteries and arterioles, improved vein contractility and venous outflow. These processes combined with electrical stimulation and therapeutic exercises of pelvic floor muscle followed by their reinforcement, as well as fractional microablative therapy ensured significant vascular effect.

[The use of transdermal electroneurostimulation in the rehabilitation of patients after surgical decompression of the carpal tunnel]. / Primenenie transdermal'noi elektroneirostimulyatsii pri reabilitatsii patsientov posle khirurgicheskoi dekompressii karpal'nogo kanala.

Most of the clinical and neurophysiological disorders of the median nerve that persisted in patients after surgical decompression of the carpal tunnel (DCT) are associated not with acute compression of the nerve, but with myelinoaxonopathic disorders in the structure of the nerve that developed as a result of prolonged compression. OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness of transdermal electroneurostimulation (TENS) in the rehabilitation of patients with residual neurological deficit after surgical DCT. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We observed 45 patients after DCT (6-12 months), aged 30 to 50 years (mean age 42±3 years). All patients were diagnosed with primary carpal tunnel syndrome with a lesion of the dominant hand, of which 15 patients received pharmacotherapy; 15 patients - in addition to pharmacotherapy, received a course of low-frequency high-amplitude TENS (NTENS) and 15 patients - a course of high-frequency low-amplitude TENS (VTENS). RESULTS: The regression of positive sensory symptoms was more pronounced against the background of VTENS and NTENS than after the use of pharmacotherapy, on average 6.6 times (p<0.01). At the same time, VTENS turned out to be more effective than NTENS by 28.5% (p<0.05). In the long-term follow-up period (2 months), the severity of positive sensory symptoms decreased in patients who received VTENS and NTENS, by an average of 58.1% compared with the baseline values before treatment (p<0.05). The severity of Tinel's symptom in patients who received a course of VTENS decreased by 44%, after a course of NTENS - by 67%, and after pharmacotherapy - by 14%. It was found that NTENS compared with VTENS was 51% more effective in reducing Tinel's symptom (p<0.05) and by 64% - Falen's symptom (p<0.05). The decrease in the time to perform the Jebsen-Taylor test (JTT) after the use of pharmacotherapy was on average 9% (p>1.00), and after TENS - 23% (p<0.05). When comparing VTENS and NTENS among themselves, NTENS turned out to be more effective on average by 68% (p<0.05). An improvement in electro-kymographic parameters was revealed only after the use of VTENS. At the same time, the decrease in the residual latency was 21.3% and the increase in the amplitude of the M-response was 14.3%. CONCLUSION: Transdermal electroneurostimulation is a highly effective method used in the complex treatment of patients with residual neurological disorders after undergoing surgical decompression of the carpal tunnel. The maximum regression of positive sensory symptoms develops against the background of high-frequency low-amplitude transcutaneous electroneurostimulation, and the maximum anti-inflammatory effect, the greatest improvement in the function of small hand muscles and statistically significant neurophysiological restoration of the function of the median nerve are revealed after the application of a course of low-frequency high-amplitude transcutaneous electroneurostimulation. At the same time, positive dynamics after low-frequency high-amplitude transcutaneous electroneurostimulation and high-frequency low-amplitude transcutaneous electroneurostimulation persists in the long-term period.
