[Regenerative effect of comprehensive physiotherapeutic programs in the early postoperative period in patients with chronic paraproctitis].

Unlabelled: The modern lifestyle is often associated with low physical activity and blood stasis in the pelvic organs, which leads to increased incidence of proctological diseases, and increasingly in people of young working age. Chronic paraproctitis is the third most common proctological disorder that requires surgical treatment. The disease occurs commonly in the age group of 30-50 years, predominantly in men, which determines its socio-economic significance.

[Combined treatment of palmoplantar syndrome in patients under antitumor therapy].

Observation covered 12 patients under various antitumor medications. Group 1 was formed of patients with developed palmoplantar syndrome varying in severity, who received complex treatment including IR-therapy and local antioxidant medication. Group 2 included patients without palmoplantar syndrome, who received preventive treatment with IR-therapy.

[Contemporary potential of nonmedical treatment in ophthalmology].

The article covers treatment results of 90 patients with primary glaucoma simplex of stage 1 and 2 (137 eyes). The authors proved that using a specified magnetotherapy method, when compared to regular medical therapy, causes more fast and marked regression in clinical symptoms and improvement of vision in patients with primary glaucoma simplex of stages 1 and 2.

[Complementary methods of rehabilitation in borderline mental disorders].

The article covers treatment results of 417 patients (186 males and 231 females) aged 18 to 71 years, with borderline mental disorders. Findings are that using specified complementary methods, more when treatment complex is applied, causes better psycho-emotional state in patients with borderline mental disorders, that is supported by results of medical diagnostic tests including psychometry tests (abridged minnesota multiphasic personality inventory, Beck depression inventory, Spielberger-Hanin, test "feeling, activity, mood").

Self-healing coatings based on halloysite clay polymer composites for protection of copper alloys.

Halloysite clay nanotubes loaded with corrosion inhibitors benzotriazole (BTA), 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI), and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) were used as additives in self-healing composite paint coating of copper. These inhibitors form protective films on the metal surface and mitigate corrosion. Mechanisms involved in the film formation have been studied with optical and electron microscopy, UV-vis spectrometry, and adhesivity tests.
