[Use of semax at a follow-up of patients with posthypoxic encephalopathy].

Effect of a neuropeptide semax is studied in 73 patients with various symptoms of posthypoxic encephalopathy in remote period. Fourteen of these patients developed a persistent vegetative state. The therapy was effective in patients with mnestic disorders; the drug effect was potentiated by an adaptogen oxiterm and by supraorbital electrophoresis.

[Dynamics of bioelectric activity of the brain in the acute period of stroke and its prognostic significance].

The electrical activity of the brain was assessed in various periods of acute ischemic stroke and its values correlated to the neurological symptoms. Seventy-six patients with acute ischemic stroke in the median cerebral artery basin were examined. A grave course of the disease and slowly progressing positive shifts in the neurologic symptoms were associated with the phenomenon of clinico-EEG-dissociation: an increase in the intensity of abnormally slow activity was wave-like and recorded both in the involved and intact hemispheres.
