[Neurophysiological substantiation and validity assessment of manual muscle testing in clinical practice. (A literature review)].

The relevance of the study of neuromuscular dysfunction's causes and mechanisms is undeniable, considering the large number of nosologies accompanied by malfunction of muscles. Adequate diagnosis and correction of these disorders is impossible without understanding of their pathogenetic mechanisms. Currently, manual muscle testing (MMT) is a widespread technique.

Conformational Changes in DNA and Protein Biomolecules in Pathogenesis of Ischemic Stroke.

Conformational changes in DNA and protein biomolecules were studied in ischemic stroke (IS) cases varying severity by Raman spectroscopy. The conformational structure of hematoporphyrin was found to change in IS patients, leading to a higher (I/I)/(I/I) ratio (hemoglobin affinity of for ligands) and an increase in I/I (a change in pyrrole conformation). Changes in genomic DNA spectra were observed at frequencies caused by stretching vibrations of primary amines (3400 cm), secondary amines and hydroxyls involved in hydrogen bonding (3100 cm), and CH groups of sugar phosphates (2900 cm) and vibrations of vibrational bonds between nitrogenous bases and sugars (1400 cm).

[Predicting the course of urgent abdominal diseases based on intensity of catabolic phenomena].

Objective: To develop a highly informative method for predicting the course of early postoperative period in urgent abdominal surgery based on indicators of lipid metabolism.

Material And Methods: We analyzed 113 patients with acute surgical abdominal disease including 56 (49.6%) ones with acute appendicitis complicated by peritonitis, 23 (20.

[Renal distress syndrome in surgery and uronephrology: concept, pathogenesis, basics of prevention and correction].

Objective: Based on objective criteria of the structural and functional state of the kidneys in various urgent surgical and uronephrological pathologies (peritonitis, pancreonecrosis, intestinal obstruction, urinary peritonitis, acute purulent secondary pyelonephritis) to identify and prove the general pattern of development of renal changes, their influence on the pathogenesis of homeostasis disorders at the organizational level and to form the evidence base of a new symptom complex - renal distress syndrome in surgery and uronephrology; to establish the effectiveness of Remaxol in its correction.

Material And Methods: Experimentally on 60 mongrel dogs with acute peritonitis, pancreatitis, intestinal obstruction of varying severity, the state of renal function, including detoxification, was assessed based on the assessment of the inflow-outflow difference in the level of toxins and in the parenchyma of organs - the composition of lipids, the activity of peroxidation of membrane lipids and phospholipases. Clinical and laboratory studies included patients with acute peritonitis (48), acute pancreatitis (18), intestinal obstruction (21), acute purulent secondary pyelonephritis (19).

[Problems and prospects of kinesiotaping use in clinical practice].

Currently the concept of kinesiotaping has become widespread. Kinesiotaping, which was originally implemented in sports medicine, is increasingly used in rehabilitation and various spheres of medicine, such as orthopedics, traumatology, pediatrics, etc. In recent years, the new publications about the kinesiotaping use in neurology and rheumatology have been released, where previously unknown effects, such as improved sensory feedback, have been demonstrated.
