[Potential of using inertial sensors in high level sports].

The article thoroughly covers development of wireless inertial sensors technology in medicine. The authors describe main criteria of diagnostic value of inertial sensors, advantages and prospects of using these systems in sports medicine, in comparison with other conventional methods of biomechanical examination in sports medicine. The results obtained necessitate further development of this approach, specifically creation of algorithms and methods of biomechanic examination of highly qualified athletes in high achievements sports.

[Extracorporeal shock wave therapy in athletes with degenerative and dystrophic disorders of locomotory system].

Degenerative and dystrophic changes of joints and ligaments are among the most prevalent disorders in professional athletes. Specification of a complex system for these diseases is an important task in sports medicine. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is a modern and highly effective method of rehabilitation.

[The rehabilitation of patients with a history of viral hepatitis using UHF therapy (460 MHz)]. / Reabilitatsiia bol'nykh, perenesshikh virusnyi gepatit, s primeneniem SVCh-terapii (460 MGts).

In early convalescence after viral hepatitis C the liver region of the patients was exposed to the decimetric waves to prevent transformation of the acute disease into a chronic one. A total of 45 relevant patients were exposed to electromagnetic field of ultrahigh frequency (460 MHz). A positive effect on the disease course and liver function was noted.

[Hormonal changes shortly after surgery in patients operated for stomach ulcer]. / Gormonalnye izmeneniia u bolnykh v rannie sroki posle operatsii na zheludke po povodu iazvennoi bolezni.

The content of gastrin, pituitary thyrotropin hormone (TTH), the thyroid hormones thyroxin (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and 11-OCS in blood serum and the daily catecholamine content in urine were studied in 86 patients in the early periods, 2-4 weeks, after resection of the stomach or selective proximal vagotomy (SPV). The content of gastrin, TTH, T4, and 11-OCS in blood was reduced and catecholamine excretion diminished in patients after gastric resection. After SPV the concentration of gastrin increased and that of TTH reduced. A certain relationship between the clinical course of peptic ulcer and the indices studied was revealed. The application of rehabilitation measures in the early periods after operations on the stomach improves the neuroendocrine regulation in the organism and the functional condition of the alimentary organs.

[Immunological aspects of restorative processes during rehabilitation of patients with peptic ulcer after surgical interventions]. / Immunologicheskie aspekty vosstanovitel'nykh protsessov pri reabilitatsii bol'nykh iazvennoi bolezn'iu posle operativnykh vmeshatel'stv.

The authors studied the immunological and endocrine status of 296 patients in the early periods, in 2-3 weeks, after resection of the stomach or selective proximal vagotomy for complicated peptic ulcer or inefficacy of nonoperative treatment. Imbalance in the cellular and humoral links of immunity was revealed, which was characterized by the presence of the autoimmune component, depression of the T-lymphocyte system and changes of its functional activity, unbalanced regulatory processes of immunocompetent cells, increase of the humoral link of immunity, diminished biological resistance of the organism, which were manifested to an equal degree in patients who underwent various types of operations. A close correlation of immune and endocrine disorders was revealed. Under the effect of rehabilitation measures positive shifts occurred in the disturbed indices of the immune and endocrine systems, which suggests that the application of physical factors promotes processes of natural immunity and the course of restorative and regenerative processes in rehabilitation of patients who underwent an operation.

[The use of physical factors on the neck area in gastric and duodenal peptic ulcer]. / Primenenie fizicheskikh faktorov na vorotnikovuiu oblast' pri iazvennoi bolezni zheludka i dvenadtsatiperstnoi kishki.

Basing on examination of 54 peptic ulcer patients and 62 patients operated on for duodenal ulcer it was shown that collar region is functionally active. In response to physical factors it promotes better regulation of pituitary and thyroid function as shown by radioimmunoassay, thermography and other modern investigating techniques. The findings support administration of physiotherapy on collar region for correction of neurohumoral regulation, trophicity and function of the stomach in ulcer patients.
