Electromyographic Characteristics of Postactivation Effect in Dopamine-Dependent Spectrum Models Observed in Parkinson's Disease and Schizophrenia.

This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the postactivation effect (PAE, involuntary normal muscle tone) is modified by dopaminergic mechanisms. The PAE was tested with surface electromyography (sEMG) in the "off medication" phase in participants with Parkinson's disease (PD) and in the "on medication" state in participants with schizophrenia (SZ), which modeled hypodopaminegic conditions, and in participants with PD "on medication" (PD) and in participants with SZ "off medication" (SZ) state which modeled the hyperdopaminergic conditions. Healthy age-matched participants constituted the control group (HC, = 11).

[Evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment of patients with nonspecific pain syndrome in the lower back with celecoxib and a combined preparation of B vitamins].

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the effect of celecoxib and the combined vitamin complex of group B in comparison with meloxicam in patients with acute and chronic nonspecific lumbar pain (LP).

Material And Methods: The effectiveness of the effect on acute (44%; acute pain syndrome (APS)) and chronic (56%; chronic pain syndrome (CPS)) LP of moderate intensity (according to VAS/MPQ) (APS 5.7±2.

[Clinical experience of the use of agomelatine in the treatment of patients with depression and chronic brain ischemia].

Objective: To study the efficacy and tolerability of agomelatine (valdoxan) in treatment of mild depressive states in patients with chronic brain ischemia (CBI).

Material And Methods: The study comprised 33 patients (23 women, 10 men, average age 54.5 years), including 12 people (36.

[Features of a cerebral hemodynamics at military men with initial exhibitings of cerebral circulation insufficiency of the pre-existing initial manifestations].

During the epidemiological survey of the military men of the Republic of Karelia with the pre-existing initial manifestations of cerebral circulation insufficiency were established it's main etiological reasons (somatoform autonomic dysfunction--35.2%, cervical osteochondrosis--34.3%) and risk factors (hereditary tainted cardiovascular event, north climate, stress, social habits, peculiarities of military service).
