The use of electromyostimulation for preventing and treating hypodynamic disorders in gunshot injuries to the extremities]

It was found out during the study of multichannel electromyostimulation (EMS) influence upon human organism and the adequacy of its physical load to adoptive and compensative possibilities of cardiovascular system that that method was effective for prophylaxis of disorders and rehabilitation of nervous and muscular system, and locomotor apparatus after a short period of hypodynamia. The EMS increases the working capacity of nervous and muscular apparatus, mass of muscles and their contraction strength due to improvement of nervous and muscular conductivity and blood supply of the extremity. The efficiency of EMS decreases considerably when degenerative changes are taking place.     

Various indices of the kallikrein-kinin and clotting systems of the blood of patients with acute myocardial infarcts with and without essential hypertension

The kinin and coagulation functions were examined in 78 myocardial infarction patients in relation to the presence of essential hypertension. The kallikrein-kinin activation and blood hypercoagulation were shown to be more pronounced in cases of associated essential hypertension.     

Erectile dysfunction: choice of the treatment method

The 15-year clinical experience with falloendoprosthetic operations (FEPO) in patients with erectile dysfunction is reviewed including algorithm of diagnostic examination, prostheses of different generations, indications and contraindications for falloendoprosthetic surgery. The results of 117 FEPO are outlined with special emphasis on 19 cases of postoperative complications. The conclusion is made that FEPO is most effective in erectile dysfunction by the presented criteria of the erectile dysfunction treatment efficacy.     

The kinin and blood coagulation systems in patients with myocardial infarction during rehabilitation

In 161 patients with acute myocardial infarction, the kallikrein-kinin system was found to be activated. In addition, there were alterations in indices of the coagulative system, which were suggestive of hypercoagulation. The unidirectional changes in the indices of the systems in question during therapy in the periods of rehabilitation are attributable to the common character of trigger mechanisms responsible for their activation and to the involvement of the kinin system in the regulation of hemostatic potential.
