[Incidence of erysipelas of the lower limbs in a spa resort. Efficacy of a strategy of sanitation education (La Lechere: 1992-1997)].

OBJECTIVE: Erysipela is a common skin infection readily found in patients with venous insufficiency or lymphedema. The aim of this work was to measure the incidence of erysipela in a spa resort specialized in the treatment of venous and lymphatic diseases and to evaluate the influence of a preventive strategy principally based on education of patients at risk. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The measurement of incidence was based on the detection of the reasons for which the patients did not attend their thermal care sessions. Quality control was obtained from the reports of cases diagnosed by local private and public health care centers. RESULTS: The incidence of erysipela in this high risk population was 40.2 and 48.5 cases for 1000 persons per exposure-year in 1993 and 1994 respectively. The preventive strategy carried out was able to induce a reduction of 65% during the next years (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: This study confirms the high incidence of erysipela in subjects with severe venous insufficiency or lymphedema and the efficacy of an active educational preventive strategy.

[Exercise training of patients in a health resort after surgery for rheumatic heart disease].

We studied the effect of cardiovascular system function on the response to terrain cure in the course of rehabilitation of 88 patients after surgical correction of valvular defects in conditions of low-mountain health resort. We have found that the response to the above exercise depends on functional condition of the cardiovascular system (the degree of correction of hemodynamic disorders related to valvular disease, the degree of myocardial hypertrophy and dilation of the chambers, left ventricular contractility). Terrain cure exercise promotes improvement in regulation of cardiovascular system and mobilization of its reserves.

[The role of uric acid in effects of balneotherapy on the phagocytic link of immunity and unspecific defense at the Truskavets health resort].

Revealed in the wake of balneotherapy at the Truskavets health-resort were two opposite types of changes--those in the level of uriacidemia and in the content of theophylline-sensitive lymphocytes that are probably caused by central and peripheral effects of uric acid. In this setting, parameters characterizing the phagocytic link of immunity and unspecific defense are noted to change unidirectionally, in other words, they remain unaffected by changes in uriacidemia.

[Phenologic observations of the Rabka health resort in 1990].

Important factors decisive of the health resort's climatic characteristics are the results of aero-phenologic studies. These results take in account the different pollinating seasons of various plants, grasses and weeds. Quantification and qualification of air pollination using the volume method with a Burkhard analytical device. Basing on results the authors have found increasing pollination string from March. At his time the main pollens come from birch, hazel, alder, weeping willow. The concentration of these pollens decrease in April, completely diminishing in May. Grass pollens increase in mid-May, peaking in June to early August. Pine pollens are found in May and June. A characteristic feature of the phenologic calendar is pollination of grass and pines in the same period (late May and June). The results of this are seen in children treated at the Mother and Child Institute Branch in Rabka, who demonstrate increased signs of pollinosis. The results of this study should modify treatment and change prophylaxis in children treated in Rabka.

[Efficacy of climate therapy in patients with chronic cardiac failure at a climate-balneological resort].

The aim of our study was to estimate clinical effects of spa therapy (ST) at Sochi-Macesta resort in patients with heart failure (HF). Spa therapy was given to 116 patients with HF functional class (FC) 0-II by NYHA classification. It is shown that ST leads to improvement of the patients' clinical status, reduction of HF FC (from 1.32 +/- 0.09 to 0.66 +/- 0.01, p < 0.001), to increased exercise tolerance (p < 0.05) and better 6-minute walk test results (from 460.3 +/- 11.4 m to 511.2 +/- 11.8 m, p < 0.01), higher myocardial coronary reserve, favourable shifts in blood pressure. ST also has a cardiotonic effect and corrects vegetative status, there was also antiatherogenic effect and an increase in blood coagulation potential. The received data allow us to conclude that ST can be an effective tool of medical rehabilitation in patients with initial stages of heart failure.

[Effectiveness of balneotherapy in patients with neurasthenia using baths of mineral water under conditions of low-mountain health-resort Nunisi].

Total of 118 patients with neurasthenia were investigated. Among them in 62 persons a hypersthenic form and in 56 -- a hyposthenic form of the pathology were noted. It has been established that balneotherapy using baths of mineral water, which is low-mineralised weakly sulfide, chloride-hydrocarbonate mineral sodic water under conditions of low-mountain health-resort Nunisi induces a decrease right up to disappearance of complaints and pathological changes in neurological status in patients with mentioned pathology. At the same time it improves indices of perception, attention and memory, state of vegetative nervous system and functional state of the brain, has a normalising action on the indices of cardiohemodynamics and lipid metabolism as well as on the excretion with urine of adrenaline and noradrenaline, neutral 17-ketosteroids, free and total 17-oxicorticosteroids. Mentioned positive shifts were more pronounced at hypersthenic form of neurasthenia. The treatment carried on had a positive influence in 62 (100%) patients with hypersthenic form of neurasthenia and in 51 (91,07%) -- with hyposthenic form.

[The role of a sanatorium-health resort factor in the complex treatment of patients with chronic prostatitis].

The results of two-step treatment of 62 patients with chronic prostatitis are presented. The first-step treatment was given at the clinic of the Urologic Research Institute of the RSFSR Ministry of Health, and the second step was completed at the Zheleznovodsk Urologic Clinic of the Pyatigorsk Research Institute of Health Resort Treatment and Physiotherapy. In addition to its medical aspect, treatment for chronic prostatitis has significant social implications, as chronic prostatitis mostly affects males of young or middle age, with the inflammation persisting for long periods of time and leading to sexual and reproductive disorders as well as psychoneuroses. Since chronic prostatitis is regarded as an inflammatory disease of infectious-immunologic etiology, with both parenchymal and interstitial tissues of the prostatic gland affected, the patients underwent antibacterial treatment, adjusted to the causative agent's sensitivity to antibacterial drugs, and the availability of physiotherapeutic procedures in hospital as the first stage of treatment. Those to whom further rehabilitation was indicated were referred to the Zheleznovodsc Urologic Clinic where they were given a treatment course making use of the natural factors: oral and external administration of mineral waters of the Smirnovsky and Slavyanovsky springs, mud treatments and physiotherapy where indicated. Treatment was designed to improve microcirculation in prostatic tissues, and used natural factors, capable of normalizing and activating systemic protective potentials. There were good results (considerably improved general condition, both subjectively felt and objectively documented) in 78%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
