[The early rehabilitation of the patients following extensive liver resection and transplantation].

This study included 500 patients who had undergone extensive liver resection and transplantation of whom 250 were treated with the use of remedial gymnastics, physiotherapeutic factors, and massage. The positive dynamics of objective characteristics of the patients' condition. None of the treated patients showed a negative response to the proposed program of medical rehabilitation and activation throughout the early postoperative period.

[Transcranial electrical stimulation in the treatment of toxicohypoxic encephalopathy at the early stage of inpatient rehabilitation].

The authors studied the time course of clinical and neuropsychological changes in the use of transcranial mesodiencephalic modulation in the complex treatment of patients with acute poisoning by neurotropic toxicants, which were complicated by toxicohypoxic encephalopathy. The findings suggest the beneficial impact of this technique on the autonomic functions of the brain stem, on the body's adaptive capacities and the psychoemotional sphere, which makes it possible to recommend the programmed use of this method in such patients.

[Comparative efficacy of various massage techniques in the rehabilitation treatment of patients with inhalation trauma early after admission to the hospital]. / Sravnite'naia éffektivnost' razlichnych vidov massazha v vosstanovitel'nom lechenii bol'nykh s ingaliatsionnoi travmoi na rannem gospital'nom étape.

67 patients with inhalation trauma of 90 patients with acute thermal trauma and 23 healthy controls participated in the trial. External respiration function was assessed on the spirograph SPIROSIFT-3000 (Fukuda Densy, Japan). The injured patients have undergone chest vibromassage (n = 23), vibromassage of Zakhariin-Head zones (trachea-bronchi-lungs) (n = 22), manual chest massage (n = 22). Improvement of clinical and external respiration parameters was more significant in patients exposed to vibromassage of the trachea-bronchi-lungs zones.

[Millimeter wavelength electromagnetic irradiation in the complex treatment of patients with extensive bite wounds]. / Elektromagnitnoe izluchenie millimetrovogo diapazona voln v kompleksnom lechenii bol'nykh s obshirnymi ukushennymi ranami.

Patients with extensive bite wounds given conventional treatment and exposed to millimetric electromagnetic waves (MEW) were compared by therapeutic benefit. MEW treatment early after the trauma enhances regeneration in the lesion thus raising therapeutic efficiency of the treatment because the exposure to MEW in hydration phase provides a fast relief of soft tissue edema, lessens intoxication, stimulates adaptation.

[The combined use of interference currents and medical gymnastics in the rehabilitative treatment of patients with injuries to the ligamentous apparatus of the knee joint]. / Sochetannoe primenenie interferentsionnykh tokov i lechebnoi gimnastiki v vosstanovitel'nom lechenii bol'nykh s povrezhdeniiami sviazochnogo apparata kolennogo sustava.

The trial of combined and sequential use of interference currents and exercise therapy in patients with endoprosthesis of knee joint ligaments has shown effectiveness of such treatment as it early after operation relieves pain, edema of soft tissues, improves proprioception, bioelectric activity of the neuromuscular system. This raises intensity of special methods of rehabilitation.

[Therapeutic exercises in the rehabilitative treatment of patients with diaphyseal fractures of the leg bones]. / Lechebnaia gimnastika v vosstanovitel'nom lechenii bol'nykh s diafizarnymi perelomami kostei goleni.

The results of exercise therapy were compared in patients with diaphysial leg fractures operated by standard technique and those operated by the technique of closed blocking intramedullary osteosynthesis (CBIO). After CBIO rehabilitation was more successful and required less time. This arises from the fact that in blocking osteosynthesis soft tissues of the damaged segment are not cut while intraosseous blocking screws exclude shortening of the leg and rotation instability of the fragments. That's why it is not necessary to fix the leg with a circular gypsum bandage which allows early intensification of exercise load.

[The mechanisms of action of extracorporeal helium-neon laser irradiation in acute exogenous poisonings]. / Nekotorye mekhanizmy deistviia ékstrakorporal'nogo gelii-neonovogo lazernogo oblucheniia pri ostrykh ékzogennykh otravleniiakh.

Extracorporeal exposure to LG-79 He-Ne laser of 12 mWt power was used in 57 patients hospitalized at the intoxication reanimation department with acute poisonings with psychotropic drugs. The clinical result was a decrease of the incidence of pneumonia in the patients with x-ray signs of venous congestion from 52% among those administered to physiochemotherapy to 24% after this treatment modality. Laser hemotherapy brought about a temporary normalization of the erythrocyte membrane permeability, which was changed biophysically by means of a diffractometer. Red cell aggregation was approximating the norm, decreasing by 20%, and platelet aggregation decreased by 17%. Analysis of the results brought as to a conclusion that He-Ne laser exposure is an effective source of singlet stimulation of molecular O2 evenly dissolved in the blood, which causes resonance oscillations of water difields. This leads to membrane depolarization, which is probably responsible for purification of polarized membranes from toxic agents fixed by them.
