Clinico-psychological analysis of systematic (vestibular) and nonsystematic (psychogenic) vertigo, therapy optimization

Objective: to study the clinical and psychoemotional characteristics in patients with systematic and nonsystematic vertigo and to optimize therapy. Patients and methods. The clinical features were analyzed in 25 patients with systematic vertigo and 25 patients with psychogenic vertigo. Their psychoemotional sphere was studied using the Beck depression inventory, the Spielberger-hanin personality- and situation-related anxiety inventory, and the vestibular inventory. Results. There were statistically significant clinical differences and a higher degree of anxiety-depressive disorders in the patients with psychogenic vertigo. Drug therapy in combination with stabilometric platform exercises based on the biological feedback principle was stated to be effective in patients with different types of vertigo, in those with psychogenic dizziness in particular.

Biotechnical measurement and software system controlled features for determining the level of psycho-emotional tension on man–machine systems by fuzzy measures

► A new software technique for determining emotional tension on humans is presented. ► For numerous diseases, a significant risk factor is long-term psycho-emotional tension. ► The assessment of tension is demonstrated on the diagnosis of digestive system diseases. ► In practice acceptable diagnosis quality is achieved without special medical equipment. ► The use of fuzzy logic decision-making can take parameter uncertainties into account. A new software technique for determining emotional tension on humans is developed by means of psychological tests connected with the psycho-emotional sphere and on indicators characterizing the state of a subject’s visual attention. Each of these two areas determines several factors for psycho-emotional tension. The level of tension is determined as an aggregate of these two components with the rules of fuzzy logic. The membership functions and solving rules for the psychological tests, and for the state of visual attention, are constructed using fuzzy logic theory. It is shown that the resulting method can be used as an informative feature for prediction of many properties, such as the situational awareness (training and experience) of an operator and the operator’s individual capacity to function (mental–physiological limits). The second group of indicators characterize properties such as switchable attention (the ability to switch attention) (SWA), concentration (ability to concentrate) (CNA), stability of visual attention (STA) and parameters determining the state of memory. One of the most important issues for man–machine systems is to evaluate the performance of operators under abnormal conditions such as stress or tension.

Psychophysiological condition of first-year students with different levels of physical activity

The psychophysiological condition of (male) first year students who participate in sport or don't participate in sport during studies was studied. R. M. Bayevsky's method was used to establish the level of stress on regulatory mechanisms. The functional level of the nervous system, stability of neural responses, and the level of functional abilities of the developed functional system were evaluated using the variation chronoreflexometric method. It was established that an improvement of mental capacity indicators (increase of memory capacity, reduction of the amount of mistakes made, growth of the level of functional abilities and reduction of the latency period of the visual-motor response) was accompanied by a growth of stress on the body's regulatory systems which was more pronounced with regard to those test participants whose level of physical activity was low. This fact is proof that physical activity reduces the body's "adaptation price" to the changing conditions of the environment. The optimal realisation of a person's adaptive systemic reactions is provided for by the dynamic interaction of the functional systems, which form a complex correlation in the body's somatovegetative, motor and psychoemotional spheres of activity.

Causes of vertigo

Vertigo is the second common complaint next to headache, which makes a patient seek medical care. Neurological, auricular, cardiac, mental, and other diseases may be a cause of dizziness. Since vertigo is interdisciplinary in nature, there are frequently problems of establishing its origin. Vertigo is commonly associated with vascular pathology of the head and neck, which results in the hyperdiagnosis of cerebrovascular diseases. At the same time, little attention is given to the patient's psychoemotional sphere and ENT pathology. Large-scale studies have demonstrated that vertigo most frequently results from psychogenic causes and vestibular apparatus diseases.

Efficiency of combination of physio- and reflexotherapy methods and technology of biofeedback in correction of psychovegetative disoders

There was a clinical efficiency analysis with combination of physio and reflexotherapy methods and apparatus biocontrol in a complex approach of recover correction of vegetative disfunctions among military people at the age from 22 to 55. Control of apparatus biocontrol course efficiency followed on dynamic of clinical symptoms, electrocardiogram indexes, general and biochemical blood analysis, reflex diagnostics data according to the methodic of vegetative resonant testing and questionnaires characterizing condition of psycho emotional sphere (SAN, test of Spilberg—Khanin).There was a determination of general non specific adaptation reaction with using Garkavi—Kvakina—Ukolova index. Rehabilitation results of the patients who got BOS therapy proved its efficiency.

INFORMĀCIJAS TEHNOLOĢIJU IZMANTOŠANA BĒRNA PSIHOFIZIOLOĢISKĀ STĀVOKĻA NOVĒRTĒŠANĀ UN UZVEDĪBAS KOREKCIJĀ

The paper deals with the information technology methods of earley diagnostics and correction of nervous system disorders. The effective method which allows to improve the psychoemotional sphere of people with different functional disorders of nervous system and to make correction work with them is functional bioregulation with biofeedback. 24 hyperactive children were observed in current investigation. The assessment of psychophysiological state of children was carried out. The analysis of behaviour of children was organised as a computer game. Electroencephalograms of children were registered and their individual peculiarities were estimated. The behaviour correction of hyperactive children with attention deficiency by the method of functional bioregulation with biofeedback was carried out. The results of investigation showed that functional bioregulation training procedures normalise the bioelectrical activity of hyperactive children brain, decrease behaviour impulsiveness, improve abilities to concentrate attention and make better work capabilities.

Effect of psychophysiological potential on adaptation to educational activity

The significance of specific and nonspecific psychophysiological mechanisms that determine adaptation processes in students during the process of learning (1–3 years) was examined. The activity of the autonomic cardiorhythm vegetative regulating system, lateral brain organization, cognitive and psychoemotional sphere and personality at rest, during a moderate mental load, and before and after examinations were determined. The specificity of psychoautonomic mechanisms of educational activity in students of various grades was found.

Analysis of the effect of unfavourable factors of environment on psychoemotional sphere of children of younger school age

The unfavourable effect of factors of environment on psychoemotional sphere of younger schoolchildren is studied. Their negative effect is manifested in worsening indices of intellectually mnestic activity in girls and in true increase of uneasiness level in boys. On the basis of analysis of the results abtained and their statistical processing the sanitary and hygienic recommendations significant part of which is realized in practice are formulated.

About the causes of hypogalactia in women

Natural feeding in the first year of life is of great importance for the normal physical development of the child, the correct formation of his psycho-emotional sphere. At present, despite the success in studying various nutritional formulas for artificial feeding, all domestic and foreign pediatricians recognize the benefits of breastfeeding and are its ardent supporters. However, the number of children who receive early supplementary feeding and are transferred to artificial feeding is still high. The main reason for the transfer of infants to artificial feeding is hypogalactia - reduced secretory ability of the mammary glands. It is important to study the causes of hypogalactia, the development of effective methods for its prevention and treatment.

Pharmacotherapy of angina pectoris

The key to the normal functioning of the heart muscle is the delivery of metabolites to it with blood, primarily oxygen, corresponding to the needs. When the balance between the supply of oxygen to the heart and its demand is imbalanced, myocardial ischemia occurs. This condition is a central link in the pathogenesis of the so-called coronary or ischemic heart disease (IHD). In 8994% of patients with coronary artery disease, it is caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries and aorta [15, 21, 26]. Regarding the pathogenetic treatment of chronic forms of coronary artery disease (CHD), namely angina pectoris, one should dwell on such points as the normalization of the psychoemotional sphere (tranquilizers), an increase in coronary blood flow and oxygen delivery (coronary active agents, -adrenoactivators), a decrease in myocardial oxygen demand (R -adrenergic blockers, cordarone, calcium antagonists), redistribution of coronary blood flow from non-ischemic zones to ischemic zones (-blockers), hemodynamic restructuring (nitrates), switching myocardial metabolism to a reserve anaerobic pathway (gliosiz, nonahlazine), effect on blood circulation antibiotics ). All these agents used for the treatment of angina pectoris are called antianginal drugs and in some cases can be combined with analgesics, cardiac glycosides, anticoagulants, antiarrhythmic, lipid-lowering and other drugs for the complex treatment of IBO.

Manifestations of accentuations of the psychoemotional sphere in patients in a sanatorium-resort environment

In order to identify the prevalence of accentuations of the psychoemotional sphere in patients in sanatorium-resort conditions, testing was carried out according to the Shmishek questionnaire. In patients with neurasthenia, a greater severity of dysthyma, cyclothymic, exaltation, pedantry, and inertia of the effect was revealed. Possible ways of accelerating the psychological adaptation of patients to sanatorium conditions are proposed, depending on the specific type of accentuation of their psychoemotional sphere.
