[Infitatherapy of children with bronchial asthma].

Use of nonmedicamental methods of treatment assists to improve the control of children's bronchial asthma clinical course. Pulsed low-frequency electromagnetic field regulates the state of central and vegetative nervous system and improves psychological status of child. Inphytotherapy has bronchial spasmolytic and immune correction effects.

Changes in spontaneous brain bioelectrical activity during transcranial electrical and electromagnetic stimulation.

The systems responses of the brain to therapeutic transcranial electrical and electromagnetic stimulation were studied and the neurophysiological criteria for assessing the efficacy of this treatment were identified using comparative clinical and experimental studies with analysis of spontaneous bioelectrical activity, along with assessment of behavioral and clinical measures. Study groups consisted of six patients with chronic post-traumatic unconscious states during courses of transcranial electrical stimulation and 17 intact Wistar rats subjected to transcranial electromagnetic stimulation. A relationship was found between the effects of transcranial stimulation and the initial level of intercenter interactions of brain bioelectrical activity assessed in terms of coherence.

[Changes in the brain spontaneous bioelectrical activity during transcranial electrical and electromagnetic stimulation].

In order to study systemic brain reactions on transcranial electrical or electromagnetic medical stimulation and specify the neurophysiological criteria of its efficiency, comparative clinical and experimental examination was performed with the analysis of spontaneous bioelectric activity and behavioral or clinical parameters. We examined 6 patients with prolonged posttraumatic unconsciousness states treated with electrical stimulation and 17 intact Wistar rats subjected to electromagnetic stimulation of the brain. The effect of the transcranial stimulation was shown to depend on the initial level of the intercentral interactions of brain bioelectrical activity, estimated by the EEG coherence.

[Multiple modality treatment of patients with senile central chorioretinal dystrophy with use of electromagnetic field].

Fifty-one elderly patients with maculodystrophy were observed and treated. Exposure to electric field of 1-2 mV/cm and 40-57 Hz led to improvement of microcirculation in the fundus oculi and decreased vision disorders.

[The treatment of hypoacusis in children by using a pulsed low-frequency electromagnetic field].

The authors provide specifications of the unit INFITA supplied with ELEMAGS attachment of their own design; the technique of treating hypoacusis in children with utilization of impulse low-frequency electromagnetic field; the results of this treatment in 105 hypoacusis children. The method was found highly effective and valuable for wide practice.

[Ophthalmologic electromagnetic stimulator OFTEMAGS].

The design of an OFTEMAGS ophthalmological electromagnetic stimulator, its new therapeutical factor (the pulse low-frequency field combined with a static magnetic field), and its brief specifications) are dealt with. A procedure for treating eye diseases and recommendations how to use the therapeutical factor in ophthalmology are given.

[ELEMAGS apparatus and clinical experience in its use in the treatment of children with hypoacusis and otalgia].

To enhance effectiveness of magnetotherapy in the treatment of otic diseases the authors propose to use impulse low-frequency electromagnetic field in combination with constant magnetic field. ELEMAGS equipment based on the above principles is introduced to treat cochlear neuritis and neurosensory hypoacusis in children.

[Effect of industrial and working conditions on health status of workers in ferrochrome self-separating slag plant].

The article contains a hygienic assessment of the USSR developed technological processes for ferrochromium slag self-separating. It was established that the major hazardous factor in the environmental conditions was the high-grade chromium-containing slag aerosol influencing most unfavourably the workers' health state, thus causing high-level morbidity with temporary disability. Preventive screening would predominantly reveal chronic bronchitis and allergic dermatoses with a less prevalence of pneumoconiosis.

[Occupational dermatoses among workers in slag separation plants of the low-carbon ferrichrome industry].

Slag separation shops in low-carbonaceous ferrochromium production, although provided with ecologically and economically justified closed waste-free technological scheme, are marked by occupational dermato-pathologies among the workers (epidermitis, contact dermatitis, allergic dermatoses) as well as by certain prevalence of some non-occupational skin and fat-tissue disorders caused by hazardous labour conditions. The article reveals the complex characteristics of slag's affecting the skin, which include primary irritating factors (alkali) and allergenic factors (chromium-hapten). The contributors propose a set of diagnostic and preventive measures with due account of the occupational diseases' specificity.
