[Intraspinal laser therapy of infectious myelopolyradiculoneuritis].

The authors provide the results of clinicoelectromyographic and immunomicrobiological examinations of 29 patients suffering from myelopolyradiculitis. The patients underwent intraspinal laser therapy, a new treatment modality. The method was demonstrated to be highly effective. The time required for the recovery of motor and sensual disorders as well as the time of staying at hospital could be 2 to 2.5 times as reduced. This enables recommending the method for introduction into practical neurology.

[Hormonal regulation of cerebral circulation].

Altogether 92 patients with chronic adrenal insufficiency, diencephalic endocrine syndromes and Icenko-Cushing disease underwent clinical examinations, measurements of the systemic, cerebral hemodynamics and concentration of cortical hormones and medullary substance of the adrenals. Different concentrations of cortisol, aldosterone and catecholamines have been shown to produce varying effects on the blood flow. The role of each of them as well as the interrelation between the hormonal and autoregulation systems have been outlined.

[Hyperbaric oxygenation in the complex treatment of Parkinson disease].

Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) was used for the treatment of 64 patients suffering from parkinsonism of different etiology. HBO sessions were provided daily, 8-12 per course, the treatment pressure amounted to 1.3-2 atm exposure to 40-60 minutes. The beneficial effect was marked in 55 patients. The results of the treatment turned out better in vascular parkinsonism, in patients under 65 years, with a disease standing of 1-5 years. The akineticorigid syndrome regressed to a greater degree, whereas in trembling hyperkinesis, HBO turned out to be less potent.

[Hyperbaric oxygenation in the combined treatment of patients with polyradiculoneuritis].

The results of clinico-electromyographic examinations point to a sufficiently high effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygenation in polyradiculoneuritis and permit its inclusion into the multimodality treatment of the latter. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) accelerates regression of neurological disorders, with the predominant effect on the severity of motor and autonomic-trophic disturbances. HBO makes it possible to reduce the doses of glucocorticoids and the period of treatment and hospitalization of patients.

[Spinal endoscopy in the diagnosis of diseases of the spinal cord].

A total of 112 patients with various diseases of the spinal cord were examined using spinal endoscopy. It is concluded on the basis of the findings obtained that this method is fairly reliable in detecting the pathological process in the cerebrospinal canal including secondary changes in its membranes and cerebrospinal radicals with the vessels attached to the latter which can develop in some forms of spinal diseases. While admitting the diagnostic significance of radioisotopic, roentgenocontrast and other methods of studying the spinal cord the authors consider spinal endoscopy to be fairly promising in terms of the topic and differential diagnosis of various disorders of the spinal cord, membranes and radicals which is crucial for early surgical of therapeutic management of the disease.
