[Peculiarities of psychoactive drug addiction in psychopathic patients at the age of conscription].

Male adolescents (n=193) at the age of conscription (from 17 to 27 years) underwent a military medical examination due to pathological behavior complicated with psychoactive drug addiction. A diagnosis of psychopathy (personal disorders) was confirmed in all cases. Statistically significant correlations were found between different types of psychopathy (excitable, hysteric, hyperthymic, unstable, schizoid) and peculiarities of the development of alcohol and drug addiction.

[Treatment of Bell's palsy by using portable biofeedback devices].

Portable, electromyographic feed-back devices were used to develop a scheme for staged and directed correction of motor function of facial muscles. The scheme was applied to the treatment of 32 patients aged 17 to 60 years with neuritis and neuropathy of the facial nerve. As a result of the treatment, the patients manifested the improvement of coordinative interrelations between the analogous groups of muscles of the diseased and normal side of the face (activation of weakened muscles with simultaneous abatement of the intensity of pathologic synergisms), evidencing the returning to normal of the central programs that control movements.
