[Functional state of spinal centers in patients with cerebral circulatory disorders according to the results of stimulation electromyography]. / Funktsional'noe sostoianie spinal'nykh tsentrov u bol'nykh s narusheniiami mozgovogo krovoobrashcheniia po dannym stimuliatsionnoi élektromiografii.

In 53 patients in different periods of brain strokes the authors studied the functional state of spinal centers by means of registration of H-reflex and F-wave of the skeleton muscles. In spite of the stroke character a marked increase of excitation of the spinal centers was observed, it being especially significant in the subacute period of the disease. The increase of H-reflex amplitude was maximal in extremities, contralateral to the focus of the lesion, but it was observed on the lesion side as well. The patients with cerebral coma in the acute stage of the stroke demonstrated a descrease of relation between central and motor responses up to 12--13%, it gradually increased as the coma ceased. The latent period of F-wave on the both extremities was reliably lower than the control indices along the whole period of the study. The authors show the significance of registration in the dynamics of the muscle evoked potentials for topical diagnosis of the cerebral vessel process and for effective control of the administered therapy.

The paper summarizes the results of a quantitative analysis of the EEG in 106 patients under 45 years. Among these patients 32 had cerebro-vascular paroxysms of a functional angiodystonic character and 74 with mild initial signs of organic vascular lesions of the brain. The authors give a detailed analysis of statistically significant changes in the EEG picture in both groups of the patients.
