[Correction of urodynamic disorders and quality of life in patients with prostatic adenoma after hyperthermia].

Prostatic adenoma gives rise to urodynamic disorders, affects not only sexual function and quality of men's life but also, indirectly, women's health. We have developed indications for concervative treatment of prostatic adenoma with transurethral radiowave hyperthermia (TRH). It was found that TRH has a positive early effect on a general somatic condition and prostatic function.

[A role of central control in development and progression of diabetic polyneuropathy in teenagers].

A role of central control of peripheral nervous system was investigated in 79 teenagers with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The patients were studied using clinical and neurophysiological methods, electroneuromyography and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP). The SSEP analysis revealed the disturbances of sensory pathways in the central nervous system at early stage of diabetes mellitus.

[Clinical and neurophysiological features and outcome prognosis criteria of Guillain-Barre syndrome in children].

Clinical and electroneuromyographical (ENMG) study of 24 children with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) was conducted. Using ENMG, axonal and demyelinating GBS variants differing by course and rehabilitation time were distinguished. To predict a development of bulbar and respiratory disorders and to evaluate their severity and duration, diaphragm and adductive nerves conduction was investigated.

[Neurophysiological criteria for the diagnosis and prognosis of facial nerve neuropathy in children].

Electromyography bindings of blink reflex, visual and acoustic evoked potentials have been studied in 35 children with facial nerve neuropathy (FNN), 20 children with FNN being manifested for the first time and 15 children being affected with recurrent type. Blink reflex analysis in FNN has revealed trifacial and controlateral facial nerve pathology in 10-20% cases. Factors essentional for rehabilitation and development of complications were the following: (1) duration of conduction block along trigeminis-facial nerve arch, (2) conduction block association, according to the blink reflex, with the absence of M-response in direct facial nerve stimulation, (3) a coefficient of M-response amplitude ratio on affected and intact sides, (4) P100 latency disturbance and its wave like rehabilitation during 4-6 months.

[Diabetic polyneuropathy in children and adolescents].

Clinical electroneuromyography (ENMG) was carried out in 63 children aged 2-17 years with polyneuropathy (PNP). Correlations were studied between the results of the laboratory studies and ENMG evidence, duration, severity of diabetes mellitus (DM). Diabetic PNP was characterised as demyelinating motor-sensory or sensory PNP.
