Brain-stem auditory evoked potentials in children and adolescents with anorexia nervosa.

Objective: In the course of anorexia nervosa (AN), the central nervous system (CNS) undergoes both anatomic and functional changes that may cause disturbances of stimulation transmission in the sensory areas of CNS. Method of brain-stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) was used in the children with AN to test the auditory pathway transmission.

Materials And Methods: The study included 37 children and adolescents, aged 10-18 years, with clinically diagnosed AN.

[Evaluation of ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation influence on the intensity of erectile dysfunction in patients with ischemic heart disease].

Unlabelled: Considering a progressive course of cardiovascular disease, often leading to premature death, and difficulty in obtaining long-lasting stabilization of clinic state, it is deeply justified to take preventive interventions completing repairing actions and pharmacotherapy. Addressing various preventive programs to the patients with CVD, we put a special emphasis to simple and low-cost modification of physical activity, which has a beneficial influence on the circulatory system. As it has been proved, protective action of physical activity on the vessels concerns the whole arterial system including the vessels responsible for erectile dysfunction (ED) creation.
