The paper presents data on the features of the manifestation of the syndrome of falls in patients 65-74
years. Since it is known that from 50 to 70 % of all falls in the elderly and senile age occur during walking, we
conducted a comparative analysis of the parameters of walking in patients with and without falling syndrome.
Estimation of parameters of the walk was carried out with the help of computerized stabilometric complex
"Smart Equitest Balance Manager". The decrease in adaptive abilities to complex motor acts in elderly women
with fall syndrome was revealed. In addition, a significant change in the indicators "reversal time" and "fluctu-
ation in the reversal" of the test "Rapid reversal" in women 65-74 years of fall syndrome, which indicates a
decrease in visual and vestibular information in balance control, deterioration of neurophysiological mecha-
nisms and dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system
The treatment of various forms of vestibular dysfunction is currently difficult. We used reflexology in one session using 7-8 points, the effect was carried out according to the II inhibitory method.
This report presents data on the treatment results of 85 patients (men 37, women 48) aged 30 to 62 years with various forms of vestibular dysfunction: Meniere's disease at 30, cervical osteochondrosis at 37, vestibulopathy of vascular origin in 11, vestibulopathy after interventions on stapes in 2 and after general cavity surgery on the middle ear in 5 patients. Positive results were obtained in 20 of 35 patients with vestibular disorders in cervical osteochondrosis. Acupuncture, like other types of reflexology, should be considered as a powerful factor potentiating drug exposure in case of vestibular dysfunction.
The data of clinical, laboratory and X-ray studies of patients with exogenous-allergic alveolitis (EAA) induced by fungi of the genus Paecilomyces were analyzed. Radiographic changes were distinguished by poly-morphism and had a diffuse spread, changes in the transparency of the lung tissue, deformation of the pulmo-nary pattern of a mesh-cellular nature, formation of focal shadow-like shadows were determined. Three vari-ants of structural changes were observed: emphysematous – interstitial, parenchymal – interstitial, and pneu-monic (granulomatous). Changes in lung tissue density of the parenchyma, detected by CT, serve as an addi-tional diagnostic test in the early stages of EAA, when the information content of the conventional X-ray meth-od is limited, and densitometrically calculated changes in optical densities of lungs on CT can not be assessed
visually by standard radiographs. Dedicated symptom complexes of radiology studies are pathognomotic for
EAA of any etiology. Final verification of the diagnosis requires mycological examination and culture of the
fungus in nutrient media.
