[The use of transcranial electrotherapy in the rehabilitation of osteoarthrosis patients].

Rehabilitation of 39 patients with osteoarthrosis deformans (OD) consisted of transcranial electrostimulation (TCES) which was performed by means of Transair unit generating impulse current (77 Hz, frontal-retroauricular electrodes position). There was a positive trend in clinical indices, pain intensity, skin temperature. TCES mechanism of action involves stimulation of endorphine brain structures which elevates blood levels of beta-endorphines.

[Transcranial electric stimulation therapy in the treatment of neurocirculatory asthenia].

Transcranial electric stimulation (TES), a combination of direct and pulse current totally up to 5 mA, rectangular impulses lasting 3-4 ms at a frequency of 75-80 Mz, via frontal and retromastoid electrodes was carried out for 30 minutes every other day. The treatment consisted of 7 to 10 sessions. Overall 189 patients suffering from vegetovascular dystonia were examined.

[Condition of the ventricular system in the acute period of cerebral contusions (clinico-echoencephalographic correlations)].

Echoencephalographic data on the ventricular system in 66 patients during the acute period of cerebral concussion are reported. Forty-seven of them showed statistically significant signs of mild intracranial hypertension. Fourteen out of 31 subjects who had a repeated examination prior to discharge from the hospital displayed no improvement in their echoencephalographic parameters.

[Algorhythm for EEG description for use in clinical practice and disability evaluation].

An algorithm of verbal description of EEGs based on the method of quantitative assessment of the brain bioelectric activity is suggested. One should take into account the distribution, the pattern, the degree of the rhythm distortion by other signals, presence of generalized manifestations, local outbreaks and paroxysms. The algorithm includes description of the orientation reaction, responses to rhythmic and trigger photostimulation, hyperventilation and pharmacological loads.
