Objective Of The Study: To develop a new medical technology for the spa-and-health resort-based treatment of the patients presenting with frequently recurring erosive and ulcerative lesions in the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum in the phase of subsiding exacerbation.
Material And Methods: A total of 100 patients presenting with frequently recurring erosive and ulcerative lesions in the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum in the phase of subsiding exacerbation were available for the examination that included detailed investigations of the clinical picture, characteristics of the immune status, and psychological testing before and after a course of the spa-and-health resort-based treatment. The effectiveness of two therapeutic modalities was evaluated. One of them (control) prescribed to 50 patients consisted of standard antiulcer pharmacotherapy in combination with Essentuki Novaya drinking mineral water and carbon dioxide mineral baths, the other given to 50 patients included radon baths instead of carbon dioxide mineral baths.
Results And Discussion: The combined application of drinking mineral waters, radon baths, and standard antiulcer pharmacotherapy produced the most conspicuous clinical effect in the framework of spa-and-health resort-based rehabilitation of the patients presenting with frequently recurring erosive and ulcerative lesions in the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum in the phase of subsiding exacerbation as confirmed by positive dynamics of their psychoemotional status in 97.7% of the cases, regression of pain syndrome (91.5%), and improvement of humoral and cellular immunity (94%). An important result of the spa-and-health resort-based rehabilitation is the intensification of the reparative processes in gastroduodenal mucosa responsible for the healing of ulcers and erosions in 94.7% of the patients.
Conclusion: The spa-and-health resort-based rehabilitation is a pathogenetically sound and efficacious approach to the management of the patients presenting with frequently recurring erosive and ulcerative lesions in the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum in the phase of subsiding exacerbation.

Background: The use of agonists of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) for the rehabilitation treatment of the patients presenting with endometriosis genitalis externa is known to significantly enhance the risk of development of hypoestrogenism. The so-called 'add-back-therapy' is carried out as a preventive measure to eliminate hypoestrogenism caused by the intake of GnRH agonists without detriment to the effectiveness of anti-hormonal therapy.
Aim: The objective of the present study was to estimate the effectiveness of the new method ('add-back hormone replacement therapy') in comparison with anti-hormonal therapy with the use of GRH agonists at the stage of the early postoperative medical rehabilitation based on the drinking of mineral waters (MW) and radon therapy (RT) in the patients who had undergone the laparoscopic interventions for the treatment of endometrioid heterotopies of the ovaries (1-3 months post-operatively).
