[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.

[Physical factors in rehabilitation treatment of patients with Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis with primary lesions of the joints].

The studies made in 96 patients suffering from chronic ixode tick borreliosis with a prevalent joint lesion justified two-stage treatment with physiotherapy at the second stage. The proposed therapy is well tolerated, produced a good improvement in 82.4% patients, the response persisting for 8.

[Vibrophoresis of mud lipid extract in the rehabilitation of patients with osteoarthrosis].

Experimental and clinical evidence (76 patients with osteoarthrosis) justifies combined use of thermovibration massage and lipid extract from therapeutic mud eplir. This combination produces analgetic, antiedematic, antiinflammatory actions and promotes normalization of systemic immunity and peripheral hemodynamics.
