[The new directions in the physiotherapeutic applications of the natural potassium salts of the Western Ural].

Unlabelled: Salt therapy (halotherapy) as a non-traditional method for the treatment of various pathological conditions has become an increasingly popular therapeutic modality in Russia and abroad. The Perm region houses one of the largest sylvinite-bearing potash deposits in the world. These salts are possessed of special physical and chemical properties of great value for the treatment of different diseases.

[THE HYGIENIC CONDITIONS OF THE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT OF SYLVINITE CHAMBERS OF VARIOUS MODIFICATIONS].

The performed comparative physiological-hygienic assessment of the conditions of the internal environment of salt sylvinite structures allowed to establish the complex of physical factors that have a favorable influence on the functional condition of the basic systems of the organism of patients.

[Complex treatment of generalized gingivitis with mineral therapy].

A comprehensive examination and treatment of 49 students aged 20-25 years diagnosed chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis (CGCG) were held. Depending on the methods of treatment were created into two groups of observation. The main group comprised 24 patients who along with dental sanitation and treatment of gingivitis took the course of salt treatment for 17 days, as opposed to control group.

[Hygienic evaluation of mineral therapy conditions].

Physiological and hygienic investigations conducted in the underground structures and different types of above-ground ones made of natural sylvinite have provided evidence for the modes of their maintenance and methods for correcting the internal environment to enhance therapeutic effectiveness in patients.

[Structural and functional changes in heart under medical therapy in mental workers having arterial hypertension].

Aim of the study was to study main structural and functional parameters of heart, evaluate efficiency of treatment (Egiloc, Cardilopin, their combination) in arterial hypertension patients. Examinations including ECG, EchoCG were performed initially, in 3 and 6 months after the treatment start. The study covered 126 patients with arterial hypertension II degree, who received the medium-dose therapy, and 34 apparently healthy individuals.
