[Objective assessment of mental nerve local anesthesia].

Aim: To study the reaction of the mental nerve to selective stimulation of thin nerve fibers by thermal stimuli during conduction anesthesia.

Material And Method: The pilot study involved 24 healthy volunteers: 13 subjects were injected with a 4% solution of articaine-containing anesthetic with a vasoconstrictor in a ratio of 1:200 000 (pH 4.8-5.

Innovative neurophysiological methods in itch research: long-latency evoked potentials after electrical and thermal stimulation in patients with atopic dermatitis.

The aim of this study was to examine the findings of innovative neurophysiological methods of itch research. Short-latency and pain-related somatosensory-evoked potentials after electrical stimulation, as well as long-latency evoked potentials after thermal stimulation were studied in 38 patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and 26 healthy volunteers. Quantitative Sensory Testing of thermal perception was performed in 22 patients with AD from the main AD group and in 15 healthy volunteers.

The modern classifications of headaches include primary headaches, e.g., migraines and headaches of tension (HAT), and secondary psychogenic headaches of tension (PHT).

[Anxiodepressive and neuromediatory disorders in hypertensive patients. Effects of cypramil therapy].

Aim: To investigate psychic status and characteristics of neuromediatory metabolism in hypertensive patients, efficacy of antihypertensive therapy with lisinopril and hydrochlorthiaside with adjuvant citalopram (cipramil) which is a selective inhibitor of serotonin reuptake.

Material And Methods: Fifty patients with hypertension stage II (37 females, 13 males, mean age 48 years, mean duration of the disease 10.6 years) have undergone psychometric examination, estimation of evoked potentials P-300, 24-h monitoring of blood pressure.
