[The efficacy of add-on treatment with phenotropil in adult patients with locally-induced epilepsy].

Objective. To study the efficacy and safety of phenotropil as add-on to treatment with standard antiepileptic drugs (AED) in patients with symptomatic locally-induced epilepsy (SLIE). Material and methods.

[Changes in EEG parameters in sleep and wakefulness in adult patients with drug-resistant localization-related epilepsy].

A study included 113 patients with localization-related epilepsy treated with antiepileptic drugs: 53 patients with drug-resistant (uncontrolled) form of the disease and 60 patients with controlled epileptic seizures. A comparison group included 53 patients with rare seizures not taking antiepileptic drugs. In the group of patients with uncontrolled localization-related epilepsy, the EEG monitoring of the sleep-wake cycle revealed more frequent regional interictal epileptiform discharges and increased α- and Β-activities during sleep compared to wakefulness.

[Clinico-immunological comparisons in cerebral arachnoiditis].

106 patients with cerebral arachnoiditis diagnosed according to pneumoencephalographic and computer-tomographic findings were studied. 65 patients had clinical signs of progredient disease (lability and an increase of neurologic symptoms). In 41 patients clinical pattern was stable during several years.

[The rehabilitation of children with chronic pyelonephritis and who have lived for a long time under radiation-hazard conditions].

Isolated and complex effects of environmental factors on adaptation abilities of the body, function of different organs and systems, composition of peripheral blood and course of disease were studies in 245 children aging from 6 to 14 years with remitted chronic pyelonephritis with normal renal function. Mineral water "Naftusia" (100-200 ml a day), lumbar applications of ozocerite, mineral baths and exercise therapy were used. Our findings give a reason to consider sanatory rehabilitation a promising method of health promotion and correction of functional disorders.
