Diagnostic criteria for prolonged and chronic disturbances of consciousness after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhages.

Background: In recent years, prolonged states of impaired consciousness became widespread among patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Treatment and maintenance of vital functions in such patients represent a complex medical, economic and social problem. In this regard, searching for the causes of prolonged states of impaired consciousness and predicting the outcomes are important.

[Electrical dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS) for the treatment of refractory postherpetic neuralgia].

Unlabelled: Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a rare complication of herpes zoster characterized by prolonged and excruciating pain. Traditional treatments for PHN, such as analgesics, anticonvulsants and antidepressants, do not always bring the desired result. One promising alternative that is attracting the attention of the scientific community is dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS).

[Possibilities of complex rehabilitation of young children with epilepsy and movement disorders].

Unlabelled: Epilepsy is a chronic disease characterized by recurrent, mostly unprovoked seizures with impaired motor, autonomic, mental or mental functions that occur as a result of excessive neuronal discharges in the gray matter of the cerebral cortex. The problem of the activity of medical rehabilitation for epilepsy in the professional community remains debatable, despite the obviousness of the arguments and judgments presented.

Purpose Of The Study: Development of an effective and safe complex for the rehabilitation of young children with epilepsy, accompanied by impaired movement function.

Psychogenic (nociplastic) pain: Current state of diagnosis, treatment options, and potentials of neurosurgical management.

Classification of pain syndromes is quite multifaceted. However, pathogenetic classification by which chronic pain syndromes are usually divided into nociceptive, neuropathic and psychogenic, is crucial in choosing treatment tactics. In modern classifications, psychogenic pain is distinguished from nociceptive pain (associated with direct tissue injury or damage) and neuropathic pain (in which lesion can only be determined morphologically).

A brief literature review and own clinical experience in prophylaxis of oral mucositis in children using low level laser therapy.

Objective: The article describes the experience of clinical application of low level laser therapy in pediatric oncology for the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy complications such as oral mucositis.

Background: For this purpose, for the first time in the world non-invasive laser blood illumination is used on the sinocarotid zone (on the projection of the common carotid artery symmetrically) and popliteal fossa in order to stimulate the phagocytic activity of leukocytes.

Methods: 25 children with different oncological diseases were given non-invasive laser blood illumination treatment (904 nm, pulse mode, 100 ns, 50-150 Hz, 5-7 W, 4 cm, 1-2 minutes daily per each procedure) 1-3 days before the beginning of chemotherapy.
