[Cerebral hypoxic lesions in the early phase of acute intoxications with neurotropic poisons: development, course, and ways of correction].

The paper presents the results of examination and treatment of 147 patients in the early phase of severe acute intoxications with neurotropic poisons. The use of the methods of assessing the bioelectrical activity of the brain has been found to objectively evaluate the degree of CNS suppression, to clarify the nature of the damaging action of a toxic agent, and to evaluate the efficiency of therapy. The use of cytoflavin in intensive care for cerebral hypoxic lesions has been shown to substantially decrease the degree of brain lesions.

[Mechanisms of adaptation effect of normobaric hypoxic therapy]. / Mekhanizmy adaptatsionnogo éffekta normobaricheskoi gipoksiterapii.

It was discovered that brain adaptation to long-term hypoxia operates primarily through lowering frequency of dominating spontaneous activity. EEG parameters can help in assessment of acute hypoxia and predict effectiveness of hypoxic therapy. Patients with definite response to rhythmic photostimulation in the range of alpha-activity tolerate hypoxia well. High presentation of slow waves in the pattern of the initial EEG, especially of teta-rhythm predicts formation of adaptive effect in hypoxic therapy.
