[Dependence of bioelectrical activity in occipital and frontal lobes and of the function of visual pathways from blood and oxygen supply].

The dependence of occipital and frontal lobes of the brain cortex bioelectrical activity and function from blood and oxygen supply was investigated in 626 minopic and 80 children and teenagers with normal vision. Myopia was found a natural model of blood and oxygen deprivation, of decrease of bioelectrical activity of frontal and partially occipital lobes, especially. The decrease of alpha-rythme index and alpha-waves amplitude was found on EEG of occipital lobes.

[Medical use of stepwise adaptation to hypoxia].

The paper outlines N. N. Sirotinin's concept of the use of stepwise adaptation to diminished inspired air pO2 as a non-drug agent for the prevention and treatment of diseases whose pathogenesis hypoxia and their subsequent rehabilitation play a definite role in.
