[The effect of microwave resonance therapy on the clinical and metabolic indices of diabetic patients].

It has been established during studies carried out in 195 diabetes mellitus patients that the action of microwave resonance therapy on the points used in traditional acupuncture accelerates carbohydrate metabolism compensation, improves peripheral circulation. The beneficial effect of microwave resonance therapy on the clinical and metabolic characteristics in diabetes mellitus patients is likely to be determined by the lowering of the content of certain contrainsular hormones (cortisol, adrenaline) and by the improvement of the parameters of the T-cell immunity system.

[Laparoscopy in the examination of patients with non-palpable undescended testis].

Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed in 28 patients at the age of from 5 to 32 years. The endoscopic semiotics of the inguinal and intraabdominal retention, testicular agenesia were studied. Laparoscopic and intraoperative diagnoses coincided in all the cases.

[Prediction of the course of post-infarction cardiosclerosis].

On the basis of veloergometric testing and discriminant analysis carried out in 178 patients with a history of myocardial infarction a formula was designed for preventive evaluation of the course of the disease for a two-year period. This method allows to single out patients with an unfavourable course of the disease even in case of satisfactory tolerance of physical loads during initial examination. The prognosis efficacy was 75%.

[The use of microwave resonance therapy on patients with chronic nonspecific lung diseases].

The authors investigated the efficacy of using electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequency and low intensity (bioresonance therapy) in the treatment of patients with some forms of chronic unspecific pulmonary diseases. The object of the investigation were patients with bronchial asthma, chronic nonobstructive and obstructive bronchitis. The treatment efficacy was 80%.

[Importance of collateral circulation for compensating for myocardial ischemia during physical loading in ischemic heart disease patients].

Exercise-induced electrocardiotopographic ST depression was analysed with reference to the presence of a collateral blood flow, angiographic assessment of the coronary bed and a history of myocardial infarction in 94 coronary patients. The presence of a collateral blood flow is shown to contribute to a more rapid elimination of post-exercise myocardial ischemia, irrespective of the number of affected coronary arteries and the history of myocardial infarction. Myocardial ischemia developing in response to exercise is particularly extensive in case of multiple coronary arterial lesions and the presence of a collateral blood flow.
