[A comparative evaluation of the efficacy of magneto- and laser therapy in patients with osteoarthrosis deformans].

A comparative evaluation of efficacy of magneto- and laser therapy was carried out in 82 patients with osteoarthrosis deformans. The magnetic field and laser irradiation dispelled the pain syndrome and synovitis manifestations. It is recommendable that the multiple-modality therapy of patients with osteoarthrosis deformans should involve magneto- and laser therapy (15 to 20 procedures per one course) that improve results of the treatment being received and allow the time of hospitalization to be reduced at an average by 5 bed-days.

[The interrelationship of hemodynamic indices with the phasic structure parameters of the left ventricle in hypertension patients].

Overall one hundred patients with stage II hypertensive disease (HD) were studied for central haemodynamics and chronocardiometric estimators of the left ventricle (LV) of the heart. Correlation coefficients were calculated between haemodynamic indexes and values for (LV) phase structure. In stage II HD, the above correlations were found to be dependent upon the type of central haemodynamics.

[The interrelationship between humoral factors and the indices of left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy in hypertension].

Left ventricular myocardium hypertrophy, adrenocorticotropin, cortisol, renin and aldosterone were evaluated in 100 patients subdivided in three groups depending on the type of central hypertensive disease of stage two hemodynamics. Their correlation coefficients were assessed before and after treatment. It was found that patients with hypertensive disease (stage II) did not show any regularities in the correlation between the content of hormones in the blood and signs of left ventricular myocardium hypertrophy.
