[The clinical and functional rationale for the application of the baths containing the Siberian Stag velvet antler extracts in the rehabilitative treatment of the patients presenting with arterial hypertension and concomitant chronic psychoemothional overtension].

We have developed the method for the treatment of the patients presenting with arterial hypertension and concomitant chronic psychoemothional overtension. The method consists of the application of the baths containing the Siberian Stag velvet antler extracts in combination with exercise therapy and massage. A total of 35 patients with arterial hypertension and concomitant chronic psychoemothional overtension were enrolled in the study.

[Gender analysis of efficiency provided by general bath containing antlers of Siberian stags in skiers].

The authors performed gender analysis of efficiency caused by general bath containing antlers of Siberian stags in athletes engaged into winter sports. Male athletes demonstrated increased physical performance, low RBC membrane response to epinephrine, decreased cortisol level, higher testosterone level and longer time of breath-holding in Stange's test. Female athletes demonstrated no reliable changes in the mentioned parameters.

[Influence of frozen-dried antlers of Siberian stags on humoral homeostasis in athletes of cyclic sports].

The authors evaluated effects of antlers of Siberian stags on humoral homeostasis parameters in highly qualified athletes during contest period. Medication based on antlers of Siberian stags provides more balanced operation of energy supplying processes, maintains stable lipid metabolism, favors balance in "prooxidants - antioxidants" system.

[The analysis of results of laboratory analyses considering the circannual rhythms].

The technique of cosinor-analysis was applied to study the oncological dynamics of hormonal and lipid status, activity of peroxide oxidation of lipids in 580 healthy males and females residing in the Western Siberia. The clear circannual rhythm of gluco-corticoid function of suprarenal glands, insular apparatus and activity of thyroid system, lipid metabolism and half-year periodicity, of activity of lipids peroxide oxidation are detected. The statistically significant differences of number of indicators in various phases of circannual rhythm are established.

[The influence of the products prepared from young not ossified antlers marals of siberian red deer on the characteristics of the blood oxygen-supplying system in the athletes during the contest season].

The objective of the present study was to estimate the influence of the products prepared from young not ossified antlers marals of Siberian red deer on the characteristics of the blood oxygen-supplying system in the athletes undergoing heavy physical loads during the contest season. It was shown that the use of such preparations promotes correction of humoral characteristics reflecting the development of iron-deficient conditions.

[Peculiar features of the clinical and metabolic status and its variations under the influence of rehabilitative treatment in the children with obesity and diffuse non-toxic goiter].

A total of 120 children at the age of 10-15 years presenting with class I-II obesity were available for observation. Fifty two of them suffered diffuse non-toxic goiter. The combination of obesity and diffuse non-toxic goiter was associated with excessive body weight, insulin resistance, disturbances of lipid metabolism, and impaired tolerance of physical exercises.

[Circumannular features of non-specific resistance in patients with osteoarthrosis in mid-lattitudes].

Modified cosinor-analysis was used to calculate biorhythmologic characteristics (period, amplitude, phase, mesor) of the circumannual rhythm of neuroendocrine regulation parameters, the state of bioradical hemostasis, and protein components of non-specific resistance in patients with osteoarthrosis living in moderate climates. Near-annual rhythms of these parameters are described. The chronological analysis indicates that strenuouos activity of the regulatory systems responsible for adaptive reactions of the organism falls within the periods from March to May and from August to October.

[A method for predicting the efficiency of rehabilitative treatment based on decision tree analysis].

The necessity of the choice of means and methods to facilitate optimal correction of individual reserves of the organism accounts for the importance of the search for the most efficient preventive, therapeutic, and rehabilitative modalities. One way to address this problem is to simulate prognosis of the outcomes of rehabilitative treatment. It is proposed to use a two-step method to achieve this goal.

[Dynamics of the incidence of major amputations and mortality rates in peripheral arterial diseases over 1993-2007: findings of a population-based study].

Analysed were a total of 17,695 cases of hospital admission of patients presenting with arterial insufficiency of extremities, complications of diabetes mellitus, ulcers and necroses of the lower limbs, including 11,773 cases of hospitalization of patients diagnosed with peripheral artery diseases according to ICD-9 (till 1998) or ICD-10 (commencing from 1999) over the periods from 1993-1997 (period 1), 1998-2002 (period 2) and 2003-2007 (period 3). The correlation dependence was studied using the Pearson criterion, with the statistical significance of differences between the relative incidence of the parameters being calculated by means of the chi-square (chi2) test. The obtained findings showed a decrease in the number of amputees, the incidence of lethal outcomes and mortality rates, being most significant in the group of patients under 60 years of age.

[Metabolic and surgical predictors of restenoses and thromboses of biological grafts in the infrainguinal position].

The present study was aimed at revealing metabolic and surgical predictors of restenoses and thromboses of biological grafts "KemAngioprosthesis" in the infrainguinal position in the remote postoperative period. A total of 65patients (54.2% of the whole group) with primarily functioning bioprostheses underwent dispensary follow-up (consisting of comprehensive analysis of the haemostasis system, blood plasma lipid spectrum, findings of duplex scanning of the prosthesis and anastomosis zones).

[Effect of extreme conditions on seasonal patterns of endocrine and metabolic processes].

The study was designed to clarify seasonal patterns of endocrine and metabolic processes and their changes under extreme conditions in Special Police Force servicemen. Hormonal status, lipid spectra, activity of lipid peroxidation and nonspecific protection systems were assessed during transition seasons. It was shown that the stay in a local armed conflict zone had marked effect on the structure of adaptive reactions.

[The rationale for chronooptimization of rehabilitative treatment under mid-latitude conditions].

Rhythmic patterns in the functioning of different systems of the body should be taken into consideration when developing new therapeutic modalities intended for the improvement of efficiency of health care measures. The study of chronobiological features of the work of organ systems in patients with different diseases residing in mid-latitude regions provided a rationale for the differential approach to the prescription of medicinal preparations of natural origin in selected periods of the annual cycle.

[Three-dimensional visualization of medical tomographic data using a modern personal computer].

The authors review experience of three-dimensional tomographic reconstructions performed by means of a modern personal computer. Basic algorithms of volume reconstruction, their implementation on Windows platform, and their comparison are discussed from radiological point of view. A hardware configuration of a Pentium class workstation for medical volume visualization is proposed; its productivity in fulfilling real tasks is evaluated.

[A new approach to medical rehabilitation of combatants].

The study of endocrine-metabolic and immune status of combatants with different forms of chronic diseases but free of combat wounds gave grounds for working up a new approach to correction of poststress disorders. The above correction includes staged rehabilitation with a corrective basic complex at the first stage.

[Application of natural and preformed physical factors during medical rehabilitation in participants of military conflicts].

The authors have performed individually adjusted complexes of balneophysiotherapeutic procedures in soldiers and officers who had taken part in local military conflicts. Functional and biochemical investigations show that in those military who had no wounds but had a weak posttraumatic stress reaction the above complexes are rather effective.
