On the vertebral neurological and biological aspects of osteochondrosis
Abstract
The root cause of osteochondrosis is the defeat of a small pulp within the vertebral segment. The clinical significance of the pathology initiated by this education is very great. The complex knot of this discrepancy was unleashed by individual radiologists, who limited this supposedly local process to its morphological framework. However, broad-minded specialists in radiological diagnostics have long risen above this localizationism and assessed not only the X-ray morphological, but also the clinical, especially neurological, aspects of the problem.
A new conceptual approach to the pathogenesis and membranopathology of multiple sclerosis
Abstract
In patients with MS indices of hyper-ß-lipidemia and hypercholesterinemia were shown, which were progressing by aging. They allow to judge of the observed (as an example erythrocytes) cell membranopathy, connected with autoimmune conflict and of compensation mechanisms, which are being considered by the authors from the point of view of phasotonic neurodynamics.
Clinical and biological evaluation of cerebrovascular diseases of population in ulianovsk
Abstract
By method of questionnaire enfluence of clinical and biological factors on cerebrovascular diseases formation among population of Uljanovsk has been studied. More frequently cerebrovascular diseases developed in people, aged over 40 years old (77,2%). Males fell ill in 1,5 times more often than femalles. The most common etiologic factors of cerebrovascular diseases development were hypertonic disease and cerebral atherosclerosis, combined with hypertonic disease (29,5% and 26,2% respectively). The obtained results should be taken into account when planning and organizing treatment and prophylaxis system of CVD.
Revealing and evaluation of clinical symptoms in patients with acute bacterial meningitis
Abstract
For clinical evaluation of bacterial meningitis in 43 patients three methods were used: Glasgo scale, Hunt and Gess scale and Scandinavian school of insult evaluathion. Investigation has taken place on the 1 st, 3 rd, 5 th, 8 th and the 14 th days. On the basis of the investigation results it was recommended to use the quantative evaluation of patients’ state according to scales, since it allows to have more detailed description and comparison of treatment effectiveness.
Diagnostic errors in subarachnoid haemorrhage
Abstract
In this work diagnostic errors of subarachnoid haemorrhage have bun analyzed; the latter being caused by rupture of brain sacculated aneurysms. False diagnoses have been enumerated. Necessity of early hospitalizathion to neurology hospital of patients with signs of subarachnoid haemorrhage has been explained.
Thermoregulation indices in healthy individuals with different levels of NA / LI antitransport in erythrocytes
Abstract
Thermotopography and Sherback’s thermoregulation reflex have been stuided in 60 healthy people, chosen with consideration of genetic membrane characteristics and types of vegetative reaction. In the course of quartile analysis correlation of thermoregulation indices with the defined values of Na/Li countertransport velocity in erythrocytes’ membranes has been established. Thermometric studies in healthy people with vegetative reaction disadaptive types have shown specific disorders of thermotopography and functional thermoregulation test, mostly associated with high values of membrane transport velocity; at the same time at low values of membrane transport indices characteristics of vegetative and thermotopographic pattern appeared to be in the limits of normal variations.
Personality profile peculiarities of patients with vegetative disfunction syndrome (taking into account functional state of cell membranes)
Abstract
Personality characteristics in 64 patients with vegetative disfunction syndrome, associated with one of genetic marker — Na+/Li+ countertransport velocity in erythrocyte membrane have been studied. It was established that emotional and personal disorders are more manifested in persons with vegetative crises, belonging to the III rd quartile. It can be supposed that a level of transmembrane ionotransport has a significance in formation of a pathologic psychovegetative pattern, including personal peculiarities, which do form a clinical picture phenotype.
State of vegetative nervous system (vns) in children with biliary pathology
Abstract
Results of complex study of VNS in 148 children with bile secretion system pathology have been presented. Disorders of functional state of vegetative regulation have been revealed, characterized by vagotonia, prevailing in initial vegetative tonus, hypersympaticotonic reactivity and insufficiency of vegetative system. In most patients a clinically actual syndrome of vegetative disfunction has been diagnosed. Differential vegetotropic correction has been suggested.
Vegetative regulation state in children with congenital heart diseases of acyanotic type
Abstract
State of initial vegetative tonus in 68 children of age from 7 to 13 with congenital heart diseases (of acyanotic type) was studied by mathematical analysis method of cardiac rhythm variability at pre-operation and post-operation periods. It was established, that in patients with congenital heart diseases dynamics peculiarities of vegetative nervous system’s state depend on operation’s conditions and character of initial vegetative tonus in pre-operation period. It was determined, that most unfavourable days with great variation of vegetative characteristics are the 1st, 2 nd and also the 5 th and the 6 th days. The above said should determine therapy tactics with taking into account vegetative regulation.
Diagnosis and treatment of bacterial meningitis
Abstract
In Germany, cases of meningitis and encephalitis are registered by the epidemiological service. In 1988, the Republican Ministry of Health received 4301 reports of these diseases: 488 cases of meningococcal meningitis, 1192 of bacterial meningitis of a different etiology, 962 of viral meningoencephalitis, and 1659 of meningitis and encephalitis of a different etiology (Pöhn, 1990).
Rehabilitation after a cerebral stroke
Abstract
In Germany, a cerebral stroke affects 2 out of 1000 inhabitants per year, which corresponds to 160 thousand strokes per year, according to other sources - up to 250 thousand. Currently, significant progress has been achieved in the treatment of acute strokes. The mortality rate for strokes in the early stages of the disease, which previously exceeded 50%, has significantly decreased.
Physiological mechanisms of thermoregulation, their disorders in cerebral autonomic dysregulation
Abstract
Body temperature reflects the state of homeostasis, the intensity of bioenergetic processes and the thermal state of the human body as a whole. In the physical sense, body temperature is a measure of the amount of thermal energy in the body, determines the rate of chemical reactions, affecting all biological functions of the body.
The role of epidemiological research in the study of the etiology of multiple sclerosis
Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common non-traumatic cause of disability in young and middle-aged people, which determines the attention of health authorities and social welfare agencies in any society. Despite high hopes for new treatments, curing MS patients in the foreseeable future is highly problematic.
Neuropsychological examination is an important component of diagnosing the consequences of traumatic brain injury
Abstract
Patient X., 39 years old, an actor by profession, had an accident on May 9, 1980. A car driven by another driver crashed into X's car from the right side. The patient was wearing a seat belt and was pushed to the left door of the car. He could not describe the details of the incident. He remembered how the police pulled him out of the car.
Dissection of the carotid and vertebral arteries
Abstract
In recent years, dissection of the external cranial sections of the carotid and vertebral arteries has been of great importance in studies of the causes of stroke. Initially, after the appearance of the first description (Jentzer, 1954) of dissection, it was mentioned only in connection with the characteristics of severe neurological deficits.
Alcoholic patients in neurological departments in Germany
Abstract
In Germany, as in many other countries of the world, alcoholism is an urgent problem: approximately 2-3% of the population suffer from alcohol dependence. According to the 1969 decision of the state social court, alcoholism is considered as a disease, in this regard, the social insurance authorities should also take part in the treatment of this disease.

Early diagnostic signs used for the preventive therapy of Alzheimer's disease
Abstract
Studies of the pathophysiological mechanisms of the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have shown that it is a heterogeneous disease involving genetic and environmental factors. Therefore, it is rather difficult to find the single most informative and pathognomonic test for diagnosis.
Genetic aspects of parkinson's disease
Abstract
The genetic contribution to the etiology of Parkinson's disease is now reliably determined. It was clarified by the results of a clinical and genealogical study of familial cases of the disease that have a strictly mendelian nature of inheritance.
