[Asthenic disorders correction with Recognan].

Asthenia, asthenic syndrome, asthenic condition, asthenic reaction, asthenic disorders are terms that describe the state of «impotence». Fatigue that occurs against the background of habitual physical or intellectual stress for a person, and persists after rest, is asthenia. For people of the older age group, the term senile asthenia syndrome is used.

Effects of walking interventions in persons with multiple sclerosis-A systematic review.

Objective: The aim of the present systematic review was to investigate the effects of voluntary walking interventions in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). For this purpose, we developed a framework to describe the components of walking interventions.

Data Sources: Two databases (MEDLINE/PubMed and EMBASE) were searched in January 2023.

[Recognan (citicoline) efficacy and safety in cognitive impairment correction of various nosological forms].

Insufficiency of a choline derivative (acetylcholine) can lead to the development of cognitive impairment (CI). One of the most well-known and well-studied medical drugs (MD) containing choline and having neuroprotective properties is citicoline (Recognan). A number of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Recognan in relation to mild CI, chronic cerebrovascular diseases (CVD), acute vascular disorders (including post-traumatic genesis).

[Meloxicam clinical effects].

Pain syndromes, acute and chronic, against the background of inflammatory diseases (such as osteoarthritis (OA)), degenerative-dystrophic changes (involutive process, trauma) or systemic diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) dictate a steady increase in the intake of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The choice of the most «safe NSAID» is based on the assessment of the toxicity index (the ratio when blocking cyclooxygenase (COX)) and the development of relative risks (the benefit/risk ratio).

[Medical rehabilitation of children with bronchial asthma].

Medical rehabilitation of children suffering from bronchial asthma is based on the complex use of natural therapeutic factors, drug, non-drug therapy and other methods in order to achieve control over the disease and long-term remission. The use of non-drug technologies is necessary taking into account the pathogenesis of the bronchial asthma development and is aimed at relieving bronchospasm, reducing the activity of allergic inflammation in the bronchi, improving their drainage function, strengthening the respiratory muscles and increasing exercise tolerance. When carrying out rehabilitation measures it is important to observe the basic principles of medical rehabilitation.

[Methods of medical rehabilitation in the complex program therapy for patients with cervicobrachialgia caused by pathological dental occlusion].

Unlabelled: Chronic pain syndromes in the neck and shoulder girdle are one of the important clinical problems due to their high prevalence. In addition, it's of great interest to study the mutual influence of the musculoskeletal system pathology, balance organs and dentoalveolar system due to the possible negative impact of these structures on each other which surely affects the treatment timing and its results.

Objective: To develop a diagnostic algorithm and a comprehensive program for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with cervicobrachialgia combined with pathological dental occlusion.

[Cobalamin in the complex treatment and prevention of cognitive impairment].

Cognitive impairment (CI) develops not only in structural damage to the central nervous system, but also in encephalopathies of dysmetabolic and deficiency etiology. Recently, special attention is focused on the appearance of CI due to the deficiency of cobalamin (vitamin B) and folic acid (FA), the change in the level of homocysteine (HC). To detect vitamin B deficiency is possible by examining key biomarkers in serum based on a decrease in the levels of vitamin B and holotranscobalamin, and levels of methylmalonic acid (MMA) and HC.

[Chondroitin sulfate role in the complex rehabilitation of elderly people with chronic pain syndrome].

The article presents the data of the latest domestic and foreign original studies, the results of a number of meta-analyses, conclusions of randomized clinical trials (RCTs), and other scientific studies that prove the effectiveness and necessity of mandatory inclusion in the treatment of chronic pain syndrome of the stage of non-invasive non-pharmacological therapy. One of the promising areas of pharmacotherapy for degenerative-dystrophic joint lesions is the use of chondroprotectors (CP), in particular chondroitin sulfate (CS). According to new Clinical Recommendations of Ministry Health (MH) of the Russian Federation (RF) «Chronic pain in patients of elderly and senile age» (2020), according to which the purpose of CS is recommended for patients older than 60 years with joint pain and contraindications to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or senile asthenia for the purpose of pain relief and the prevention of exacerbations of pain.

[Prospects for the use of antioxidant pharmacopuncture in metabolic syndrome].

Objective: The purpose of the study was to further reveal the mechanisms and therapeutic capabilities of the pharmacopuncture method (the introduction of drugs into the area of reflexotherapy points) in metabolic syndrome. In previously published materials on the problem, we pointed out the efficacy of the pharmacopuncture antioxidant Ubiquinone Composite (as a pilot study), similar in effect to the drug Coenzyme Composite (Heel, Germany). The present work develops this topic by further comparing the characteristics of pharmacopuncture with the presented drugs.

[The application of the physical factors for the medical rehabilitation of the children presenting with neurogenic dysfunction of the bladder].

This article describes the modern technologies for the medical rehabilitation of the children presenting with neurogenic dysfunction of the bladder aimed at improving the act of urination at all levels of innervation. The most frequent variant of neurogenic dysfunction of the bladder in the children is the hyper-reflexive one; it is this variant in which the most pronounced disorders of urodynamics due to intravesical hypertension and detrusor hypoxia are observed. The urodynamic disorders are known to contribute to the formation of the characteristic clinical picture associated with the hyper-reflexive urinary bladder dysfunction in the children characterized by the mandatory urination syndrome, pollakiuria, imperative urges, and mandatory urinary incontinence in the combination with enuresis.

[The application of invasive and non-invasive reflexotherapeutic methods for the improvement of tolerance to the influence of seasonal meteorological factors and correction of bronchial asthma].

The present study included 94 patients presenting with bronchial asthma (BA) who underwent the controlled treatment during one year. The treatment consisted of basal anti-asthmatic therapy in combination with acupuncture reflexotherapy or a complex of non-invasive reflexotherapeutic methods (CNIRTM) designed to increase the effectiveness of correction of asthma, to improve the clinical status of the patients, to decrease by more than two-fold the frequency of unstable episodes of the disease showing the well-apparent seasonal dependence, and to diminish the consumption of pharmaceuticals (reduction of the mean daily dose of prednisolone by 31% and 37% in comparison with its 79% increase in the patients receiving the standard treatment). Moreover, it was shown that the achievement of clinical and preventive effect of the application of non-pharmacological methods may be associated with the activation of the mechanisms of adaptation to the stress factors (such as correction of the cortisol blood level and parameters of the immune status, etc.

[The adaptive mechanisms of cardio- and angioprotective action of reflexotherapy].

The adaptive mechanisms of action of reflexotherapy are analysed. It was shown in physiological and biochemical experiments on the whole organism, the isolated hearts and strips of resistive arteries of animals that stimulation of acupuncture points by different physical factors increased the activity of opioid, antioxidative, and other stress-limiting systems, reduced secretion of corticosteron during stress, stimulated biosynthesis of stress proteins, induced cyto- and cardioprotective effects, prevented or limited functional and structural hyperadrenal damages. Clinical investigations demonstrated significant hypothensive, anti-ishemic and anti-arrhythmic effects of reflexotherapy, improved resistance of healthy subjects and patients with cardiovascular diseases to physical and emotional loadings.
