Influence of pain beliefs on resuts of algetic syndrome treatment

Pain syndromes are very common and therapeutically resistant, and it is necessary to offer new approaches with complex examination of the pain. The paper presents data about influence of pain beliefs on results of treatment of algetic syndromes

Biological Effect of Continuous, Quasi-Continuous and Pulsed Laser Radiation

In this work, for the first time, comparative studies of biological activity of low intensity continuous, quasi-continuous and pulsed laser radiation of nano- and picosecond time ranges with the same average power density are carried out. It is shown, that, despite the significant differences in peak values of intensity of acting factor, both continuous and quasi-continuous radiation and radiation of nano- and picosecond ranges are able to have both stimulating and inhibiting effects on all investigated parameters of functional activity of biological systems in a certain range of dose rates. The ability of laser radiation of near infra-red spectral region (800 - 1340 nm) located out the absorption bands of main chromophores of cells to have regulatory effect on biochemical processes that control the hatching of branchiopod crustaceans Artemia salina L. upon irradiation of their cysts is revealed. The role of molecular oxygen and water as acceptors of laser radiation is discussed. Keywords: Low intensity laser radiation, Laser activation, Biological activity, Zooplankton Artemia salina L., Sturgeon sperm

Optimization of the method of diagnosis dorsopaty using the principle factorometry

Although numerous methods of evaluation of pain syndromes of various localizations are available this problem is still far from being solved. The paper presents a new diagnostic approaches to identifying the adverse effects of the specific characteristics of employment and training activities of the individual

Back pain: gender differences and approaches to the therapy

The review of modern works of russian and foreign authors on a subject of gender features of the back pain is carried out. Data of own researches of gender features and results of treatment with Dexketopropheni are provided. Authors draw a conclusion that when developing the plan of therapeutic actions it is necessary to take into consideration a difference in approaches to treatment of men and women

Functional aspects in complex diagnostics of chronic pain syndromes

In work new diagnostic approaches to revealing altical displays taking into account the psychoemotional status and parametres of an impellent stereotype are presented

Combination treatment for acute non-specific low back pain

Spinal pain syndromes come to the forefront in the structure of referral rates for medical advice and considerably reduce quality of life in this category of patients. The paper considers the role of an edematous component in the development and chronization of pain. Occurring edema gives rise to local hemo- and lymphodynamic disorders, dysregulated vascular tone, activated thrombogenesis, and increased vascular permeability, eventually leading to the excessive irritation of nociceptors, the enhancement of a pain component, and the progression of tissue swelling.Objective: to study the efficacy of L-lysine escinate in the combination treatment of acute non-specific low back pain.Patients and methods. Sixty-two patients aged 21 to 53 patients (mean age 36.4±0.9 years) with acute low back pain were examined. L-lysine escinate having venotonic and anti-inflammatory activities was chosen as an agent to correct edema syndrome. The results of clinical, neurological, and manual muscular testing and assessment of the biomechanics of the vertebral column, obtained using the original soft package “Visual optic analysis” developed by the authors, were analyzed. All the patients were found to have acute non-specific low back pain or radiculopathy (entrapment syndrome) and considerable changes in the biomechanics of the vertebral column. The patients were treated in accordance with the standards of medical care for spinal pain. L-lysine escinate was additionally incorporated as an antiedema drug into the therapeuticcomplex of the patients in the study group.Results and discussion. The study patient group demonstrated a more pronounced trend towards reductions in pain syndrome and local muscle edema. It was noted that L-lysine escinate was effective in treating both acute pain syndromes and exacerbations of chronic low back pain and that additional non-drug programs should be included in order to correct an impaired motor stereotype

Alcoholic polyneuropathy: ways of diagnostics and therapy

The article is devoted to the analysis of the pathogenetic mechanisms of the formation of alcoholic lesions of the peripheral nervous system. Various clinical forms of alcoholic polyneuropathy are considered, ways to diagnose using modern instrumental and laboratory methods are proposed. The authors analyze the main ways of forming a therapeutic strategy, consider groups of drugs used to treat alcoholic polyneuropathy. The data of own clinical experience of using the preparation of thioctic acid are given

Strategies for patient therapy with chronic brain ischemia

The article is devoted to the analysis of various pathogenetic mechanisms involved in the formation of chronic brain ischemia. The authors discuss current trends in society, leading to a wide spread of cerebrovascular diseases: an increase in life expectancy and a constantly increasing level of psychosocial stresses. The paper considers the variety of clinical manifestations, course options, the pace of development of this pathology, diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties encountered by doctors treating this category of patients. Particular attention is paid to symptoms that prevent a full course of treatment and prevention of chronic cerebral ischemia, such as asthenia and impaired statolocomotor function. The leading pathogenetic mechanisms that play a role in the formation of these syndromes are discussed. Various approaches to the treatment of this pathological condition are considered. The possibility of using drugs with a multimodal effect is discussed. An analysis of a clinical case involving a patient with a long history of chronic brain ischemia is presented. The main factors that are obstacles to a full pathogenetically directed treatment are identified and ways to solve this therapeutic problem are given. The authors conclude that it is necessary to formulate a wellthought- out therapy strategy for this pathological condition, including timely, well-considered use of drugs with a neurotrophic, neuromodulating effect, which allows further measures, including non-pharmacological approaches. Particular attention is paid to the role of social support and physical activity for the prevention of cerebrovascular diseases
