[Progressive aphasia without dementia--the onset of an atrophic process of the brain].

Three cases of progressive aphasia were analyzed. Moderate motor aphasia without any cognitive disturbances was observed at an early stage of the disease. Subsequently gradual development of severe motor aphasia, agraphia, alexia, as well as of speech comprehension disorder, intellectual retardation, aspontaneity, and apraxia was observed in such patients. Computer tomography revealed brain fronto-temporal local atrophy which was growing progressively as far as the disease developed. Any cerebrovascular diseases were absent. The conclusion was made that progressive isolated aphasia was the debut of cerebral cortex atrophy.

[Prevention of contractures in post-stroke arthropathies].

Arthropathies develop in 15-20% of post-stroke paresis patients. A complex of rehabilitative measures including physical therapy (transcutaneous stimulation analgesia, heating etc.), kinesitherapy and anabolic hormones can prevent contractures if applied at the early rehabilitative stage.

[Experience using selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors in treating parkinsonism patients].

MAO B selective inhibitor was given to parkinsonism patients for several months. Positive effect was found in half of the patients irrespective of their age, time of the disease onset and its severity. The drug proved most effective in bradykinesia. Its use is most expedient in combination with L-DOPA-containing drugs which prolong the effect and reduced diurnal shifts in the patients' conditions. Side effects are seldom observed and usually weak.

[Dynamics of the recovery of motor functions after the stereotaxic removal of intracerebral hematomas (clinical computed tomographic study)].

The recovery of impaired motor functions in patients with intracerebral haemorrhages depends on many factors. It has been proved that surgical removal of intracerebral hematomas improves the survival rate. Yet, the results of recovery primarily depend on the type of surgery. A new method of stereotaxic removal of intracerebral hematomas has a number of advantages over the open method, primarily low traumatism. The prognosis of the recovery of motor ability is determined by not only the type of surgery but by a number of other factors as well, namely, the volume and localization of the hematoma, the degree of deformation of the brain stem and the timing of surgical intervention. The results of clinical employment of the new method in 51 patients should be considered encouraging while the operation of stereotaxic removal of intracerebral hematomas appears rather promising.

[Experience with the use of parlodel in the treatment of Parkinson patients].

The dopamine agonist parlodel was given to 42 patients with parkinsonism for several months. The drug proved effective in more than one-third of the patients. Different side-effects were observed in almost half of the patients. Parlodel may be used alone in mild cases but generally it is used as an adjunct to L-DOPA therapy. The optimum dose of parlodel is individual and varies within a wide range.

[Relation between features of the recovery of motor functions in patients with ischemic strokes and the site and extent of lesion focus].

The nature and degree of motor disorders, the degree and rate of recovery were shown to be more dependent on the localization than on the size of the cerebral infarction specified by computer-aided tomography of the drain. Localization of infarct in the posterior femur of the internal capsule proved the least favourable with regard to the recovery of motor functions.

[Prospects for the development of scientific research in the area of rehabilitative treatment of post-infarct patients].

Three basic areas of research on the rehabilitation treatment of cerebral stroke survivors are reviewed: (1) the identification of factors affecting the recovery of impaired functions; (2) the development of new and improvement of the conventional methods of rehabilitation therapy; (3) the elaboration and perfection of principles of rehabilitation treatment organization.

[Restoration of disrupted functions in patients who have sustained hemorrhages into the optic thalamus].

Using computerized tomography of the brain the authors diagnosed hemorrhages to the thalamus in 8 patients out of 74 with hemispheral hemorrhages. Peculiarities of the restoration of the disturbed functions in this group of the patients are analyzed. A dissociation between the marked restoration of elementary motor functions and a poorer restoration of motor habits was revealed. This dissociation was due to a considerable degree to the presence of a pronounced asthenodepressive syndrome in these patients. The clinical syndrome characteristic of hemorrhage to the thalamus is described.
