[The specific features of the development of metabolic and regenerative processes under the action of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation in radiation exposure conditions (an experimental study)].

The experiments on male white rats with the use of biochemical, photo-optical, and electron-microscopic techniques have demonstrated that the use of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation of ultrahigh frequency (EMR UHF) and low-intensity low-frequency magnetic field (MF) during the post-irradiation period (within 21 days after exposure to radiation) enhanced the metabolic and regenerative processes in the testes and liver. It was shown that the application of MF largely intensified the antioxidant activity whereas EMR UHF preferentially stimulated the biosynthetic processes as well as the processes of cellular and intracellular regeneration.

[The algorithm for the determination of the sufficient number of dynamic electroneurostimulation procedures based on the magnitude of individual testing voltage at the reference point].

Unlabelled: This article was designed to present evidence of the advantages of the personified approach to the treatment of the patients presenting with arterial hypertension (AH), lumbar spinal dorsopathy (LSD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and duodenal ulcer (DU) at the stage of exacerbation obtained by the measurements of testing voltage at the reference point (Utest).

Aim: The objective of the present study was to develop the algorithm for the determination of the sufficient number (optimal duration) of therapeutic procedures of the protracted treatment with the use of the Utest at the reference point.

The Patients And Methods: The study included 647 patients (439 women and 208 men at the age varying from 25 to 72 years) with grade I-II AH, DU at the stage of exacerbation, grades II and III lumbar spinal dorsopathy, grade II-III COPD.

[The role of climatic therapy in the combined spa and health resort-based treatment of the patients presenting with nonspecific respiratory diseases].

This article deals with the issues related to the role of climatic therapy in the combined spa and health resort-based treatment of the patients presenting with pathology of the respiratory system. The characteristics of climatic health resorts, the effects of various weather factors on the patients with nonspecific diseases of the respiratory organs, and the methods of climatic therapy are discussed with special reference to the physical factors influencing acclimatization and re-acclimatization as well as the prevention of meteopathic reactions. Much attention is given to the indications and contraindications for the referral of the patients with the above health problems to the local spa and health resorts facilities.

[The application of the biological feedback technique for the treatment of the patients presenting with chronic somatic diseases].

Unlabelled: The objective of the present work was to study the influence of the application of the biological feedback (BFB) technique on the dynamics of the psychological and clinical status of the patients presenting with various chronic somatic diseases (CSD) and to identify the predictors of the effectiveness of the treatment by this method.

Patients And Methods: The study included 337 patients suffering from CSD who were interviewed with the use of the concise standardized multifactorial personality inventory (SMPI), the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Beck depression inventory (BDI) scales. The patients were randomly distributed into two groups.

[The influence of the climatic and weather conditions on the mechanisms underlying the formation of enhanced meteosensitivity (a literature review)].

The present review concerns the problem of the influence of the climatic conditions on the human body, the creation of the medical weather forecast service, the development of non-pharmacological methods for the correction of meteopathic disorders, and the reduction of the risk of the complications provoked by the unfavourable weather conditions. The literature data are used to analyse the influence of climatic and weather factors on the formation of enhanced meteosensitivity and the development of exacerbations of chronic non-communicable diseases under the influence of weather conditions. It is concluded that marked changes of the weather may lead to an increased frequency of exacerbations of the chronic non-communicable diseases.
