[Influence of essential oils of plants on mental performance of elderly people.].

The effect of essential oils (EOs) of 22 species and varieties of essential oil plants on the mental performance of elderly people when they inhaled air containing EOs in a gaseous state at a concentration of 1 mg/m3 of air was studied. For the study, a word recognition test with missing letters and a proofreading test were used. It has been established that recognition of words with missing letters is stimulated for a short (10-20 min) duration of exposure to EOs, and then the effect fades away.

[Influence of essential oils of plants on the psycho-emotional state of elderly people.].

The possibility of improving the psycho-emotional state of the elderly by inhaling the vapors of essential oils (EO) of plants at a low concentration (1 mg/m3 of air) has been established. To obtain a quick short-term result, mainly in terms of psychological well-being, EOs of coriander and mountain savory are most suitable. A distant, but more pronounced result in terms of both psychological well-being and psychological tone is given by EO of hyssop officinalis and clove tree.

[Impact of essential oil vapors inhalation on blood pressure in patients with hypertension].

Unlabelled: Increase of patients with hypertension in the world determines the search for new, accessible, easily applicable and mildly effective antihypertensive agents, particularly essential oils (EO). Currently available studies of the EO impact on blood pressure do not allow to assess the efficiency of such therapy.

Objective: To perform the comparative study of antihypertensive effects of inhalation with EO vapors of various composition.

[Endoscopically non-removable stones of the common bile duct].

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of long-term biliary stenting in the treatment of endoscopically intractable common bile duct stones.

Material And Methods: The study enrolled 247 patients with endoscopically non-removable bile duct calculi («difficult» choledocholithiasis) divided into two comparable groups. The main group included 129 patients who underwent biliary stenting with original stents with a nanocarbon inert coating (RF patent No.

[Weather and climatic factors at the resort of the Southern coast of Crimea in the medical rehabilitation of patients with hypertension].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of weather and climatic factors of the South Coast of Crimea (SCC) on the effectiveness of health resort medical rehabilitation (MR) of patients with arterial hypertension (AH).

Fluorinated Polyurethanes, Synthesis and Properties.

Fluorinated polyurethanes with a glass transition temperature as low as -139 °C and a decomposition onset temperature of 247-330 °C were prepared by a reaction of fluorinated alcohols with aromatic and cycloaliphatic diisocyanates in solution or melt.

[Endoscopic interventions in diagnosis and treatment of Mirizzi syndrome].

Aim: To define the role of endoscopic interventions in diagnosis and treatment of Mirizzi syndrome.

Material And Methods: Results of treatment of 41 patients with Mirizzi syndrome are presented. Endoscopic transpapillary interventions including cholangiography, papillosphincterotomy lithoextraction, nazobiliary drainage were used as a first step in all cases.

[Use of meshendoprostheses with diamond-like carbon coating in abdominal hernias surgery].

It is presented the results of implantation of meshendoprostheses with and without carbon coating for surgical treatment of abdominal hernias in experiment and clinical practice. It was shown that diamond-like carbon coating minimizes primary tissue reaction against foreign material and provides complete implant's biological integration into subcutaneous connective tissue as are active encapsulation with connective tissue. Suggested meshendoprostheses with diamond-like carbon coating decrease local inflammatory reaction in operated area and thereby reduce number of exudative complications in early postoperative period.

Atomoxetine in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a 6-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial in Russia.
