[The prevalence, structure and clinical problems of multiple sclerosis in the Transcarpathian area based on epidemiological study data].

As many as 230 patients with disseminated sclerosis were examined in the Transcarpathian region. Sick male- and female populations were found out to be almost similar. There were more sick persons in the medium-range areas of the Carpathian Mountains, with a mean age being 35 +/- 5 years.

[The incidence of the occurrence of stroke in the Carpathian region].

Based on the investigations conducted the contributors to this article arrived at a conclusion to the effect that those residing in lowlands of the Transcarpathian region are exposed to a greater number of factors causing acute cerebral circulatory disturbances than in highlands. This might be one of the reasons for the incidence of stroke to higher in low-lying lands that it is in mountainous areas. Factors due to which acute cerebral disturbances tend to develop need to be eliminated.

[The characteristics of the limbic-diencephalic disorders in patients with early forms of cerebral circulatory disturbances].

The limbic and diencephalic disorders observed in patients with prestroke forms of cerebrovascular disturbances depend on clinical forms of cerebral circulation. Timely therapy is conducive to a more favourable course of cerebrovascular disturbances.
