The article describes the experience of medical rehabilitation of patients after a complex treatment of cerebellar medulloblastoma with metastases in the spinal cord membranes and substance. Substantiates the role of medical rehabilitation funds in correcting the effects of the disease, and cancer treatment, the essence of which is determined by the damage to the structure and function of various organs and systems. The most common effects of the three-treating medulloblastoma are postoperative deficits: ataxia and paresis; radiation myelopathy, polyneuropathy chemotherapy-induced, deformations of the skeletal system, reduced functional performance and adaptation. Actualized value of interdisciplinary interaction: oncologists, pediatricians, neurologists, orthopedists, medical rehabilitation specialists; phasing and integrated use of all available methods of rehabilitation. Presented personalized rehabilitation program to study techniques of individual lessons therapeutic exercises, therapeutic swimming, gidrokinezioterapii, procedures, motor praxis, training paretic muscles of the selected feedback, massage. It is shown that multimodal rehabilitation treatment of patients at high risk of being in remission, is effective in its action in assessing both subjective: improvement of health, emotional tone, sleep, increased appetite, and objective data: normalization of body weight, improving coordination and increasing the range of motion, increase muscle strength, strength endurance muscle corset. Currently, medical rehabilitation is an essential component of cancer patients routing.

Among the factors contributing to disability after stroke is the most important movement disorder, major clinical manifestation of which is the central spastic paresis. Spasticity is revealed in the study of passive movements of the limbs as increased resistance to muscle in response to its rapid stretching. Once developed spastic paresis usually persists throughout the life of the patient. The treatment of spastic paresis is intractable problem. In recent years the treatment of post-stroke spasticity started using botulinum toxin type A. In comparison with the existing methods of treating muscle hyper local administration of botulinum toxin has a number of obvious advantages. According to the latest recommendations in all cases after botulinum therapy require active physical therapy and physical rehabilitation. Botulinum therapy is not a substitute for physical therapy and exercise therapy, which is the basis of the rehabilitation program and is an integrated part of a comprehensive treatment to improve motor functions. Using a special additional treatment measures such as physical therapy and exercise therapy is often part of the overall treatment but their formal evaluation was carried out in only a few studies. The article presents the author´s concept of rehabilitation post-stroke spastic muscle hypertonus in neuro-rehabilitation with the use of medical rehabilitation and botulinum therapy.

A study of the efficacy of medical rehabilitation of 170 patients with spinal-cord injury through the application of modern rehabilitation and surgical technologies was conducted. Patients of I (control) group received standard set of conservative treatment and rehabilitation. Patients of II (main) group the rehabilitation was supplemented with therapeutic exercises with the use of loop complex «Hope» and the rate of adaptation to the stress of hypoxia in the late period of injury. Patient of III (control) group surgical treatment and the conventional range of rehabilitation were performed. Patients of IV (main) group the rehabilitation was completed with early activation using espandernogo complex «Hope» and the rate of adaptation to the stress of hypoxia in the late period of injury. It is proved that the developed complex rehabilitation of patients with spinal-cord injury using an early stable functional osteosynthesis with the minimum extent necessary, the use of complex «Hope» can improve the functional results at the expense of early motor activation, preventing the formation of contractures and muscle atrophy. The use of adaptation to the stress of hypoxia in the late period of vertebro-spinal cord injury improves overall health, reduces the severity of autonomic reactions, emotional stress, can cut pain syndromes.

BACKGROUND: Diagnostics and treatment of acute poisoning, as well as the rehabilitation measures carried out in relation to them, including the stationary stage, are aimed at the most complete restoration of the lost capabilities of the body. AIMS: Increasing the efficiency of medical rehabilitation of acute poisoning (AP) in a toxicological hospital through a combination of drug therapy and non-drug treatment with preformed physical factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Of 1,207 patients with AP psychopharmacological agents (pPFA), neurotoxicants (pNT), cauterizing agents (pCA) and snake bites (SB), who were in the toxicology department of the N.V. Sklifosovsky, 421 patients with an unfavorable course of AP were subjected to an in-depth examination. Intravenous laser hemotherapy (LGT), hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), mesodiencephalic modulation (MDM), wave biomechanotherapy (WBMT) and ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate (EP) were used in cases of 291 patients of the main groups. RESULTS: The unfavorable course of AP was accompanied by an increase in the duration of treatment by 2.26.8 times due to the addition of pneumonia (pPFA), toxicohypoxic encephalopathy (pNT), severe burns of the gastrointestinal tract (pCA) and local edematous-inflammatory changes (SB). There was a syndrome of high blood viscosity and moderate endotoxicosis. The best clinical and laboratory results were obtained with a combination of LHT (90 minutes) with EP (pPFA), HBO and EP (pCA), HBO, MDM, EP (heavy pNT), HBO, EP (moderate pNT) and WBMT (SB). The adaptive capabilities of the organism, the state of the autonomic nervous system (pNT), neuropsychological indicators and electrical activity of the brain (pNT) improved. CONCLUSION: Programmed rehabilitation made it possible to achieve a noticeable reduction in the incidence of symptoms of the studied poisoning (by 54.693.4%), the time to resolve their manifestations (by 9.175%), as well as inpatient treatment (by 16.159.3%), improving functional performance.

Abstract— Accumulating evidence supports that spinal cord injury (SCI) produces robust inflammatory plasticity. We previously showed that the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α is increased in the spinal cord after SCI. SCI also induces a systemic inflammatory response that can impact peripheral organ functions. The kidney plays an important role in maintaining cardiovascular health. However, SCI-induced inflammatory response in the kidney and the subsequent effect on renal function have not been well characterized. This study investigated the impact of high and low thoracic (T) SCI on C-fos, TNFα, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 expression in the kidney at acute and sub-chronic timepoints. Adult C57BL/6 mice received a moderate contusion SCI or sham procedures at T4 or T10. Uninjured mice served as naïve controls. mRNA levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα, and C-fos, and TNFα and C-fos protein expression were assessed in the kidney and spinal cord 1 day and 14 days post-injury. The mRNA levels of all targets were robustly increased in the kidney and spinal cord, 1 day after both injuries. Whereas IL-6 and TNFα remained elevated in the spinal cord at 14 days after SCI, C-fos, IL-6, and TNFα levels were sustained in the kidney only after T10 SCI. TNFα protein was significantly upregulated in the kidney 1 day after both T4 and T10 SCI. Overall, these results clearly demonstrate that SCI induces robust systemic inflammation that extends to the kidney. Hence, the presence of renal inflammation can substantially impact renal pathophysiology and function after SCI.

Background. Balance and functional abilities are controlled by both sides of the body. The role of nonparetic side has never been explored for such skills.Objective. The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of a motor therapy program primarily involving the nonparetic side on balance and function in chronic stroke.Method. A randomized controlled, double blinded trial was conducted on 39 poststroke hemiparetic subjects (21, men; mean age, 42 years; mean poststroke duration, 13 months). They were randomly divided into the experimental group(n=20)and control group(n=19). The participants received either motor therapy focusing on the nonparetic side along with the conventional program or conventional program alone for 8 weeks (3 session/week, 60 minutes each). The balance ability was assessed using Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Functional Reach Test (FRT) while the functional performance was measured by Barthel Index (BI).Result. After intervention, the experimental group exhibited significant(P<0.05)change on BBS (5.65 versus 2.52) and BI (12.75 versus 2.16) scores in comparison to the control group.Conclusion. The motor therapy program incorporating the nonparetic side along with the affected side was found to be effective in enhancing balance and function in stroke.

The aim of the study is to optimize the comprehensive treatment of patients with severe arterial hypertension, through the use of multicomponent rational antihypertensive pharmacotherapy, followed by the use of unloading therapeutic exercises. 32 men with severe arterial hypertension were examined. Initially, a clinical, instrumental and laboratory examination, registration of blood pressure and its 24-hour monitoring were carried out. The average daily systolic (ADBPsyst.) and average daily diastolic (ADBPdiast.) blood pressure were determined. A multicomponent rational antihypertensive pharmacotherapy, according to the clinical recommendations for the treatment of arterial hypertension was selected for all the patients. In at least 3 months after the selection of pharmacotherapy, the patients were divided into two groups, comparable in gender, age, severity of the condition, features of the disease course and medicamentous therapy. Patients of the 1st group (active treatment group) against the background of pharmacotherapy were prescribed unloading therapeutic exercises according to a patented technique. The 2nd group of patients continued to take pharmacotherapy and it was used as a baseline group. The average age in the 1st and 2nd groups was 46,3±6,8 and 43,6±7,2 years, respectively. Patients of the 1st group were prescribed unloading therapeutic exercises and in 3 months in both groups the ADBPsyst. and ADBPdiast. were compared. Initially, there was a significant increase in ADBPsyst. and ADBPdiast. compared to the normal range in both groups. These indicators in both groups differed insignificantly. In 3 months after pharmacotherapy, there was a significant decrease in ADsyst. and ADdiast. in both groups, but these indicators remained elevated and did not reach the target level. Then, in the 1st group, unloading therapeutic exercises were included in the comprehensive treatment. Patients of the 2nd group continued to receive pharmacotherapy. In 3 months after including unloading therapeutic exercises in the 1st group, there was a significant decrease in ADBP (syst. and diast.) not only in comparison with the initial data, but also with the data in 3 months after pharmacotherapy. In the 2nd group, these indicators did not change significantly compared to the three-month data. In 6 months, ADBPsyst. and ADBPdiast. in the 1st group were significantly lower compared to similar indicators in the 2nd group, which proves significant clinical effectiveness of unloading therapeutic exercises in patients of the 1st group. The results obtained confirm that patients with severe arterial hypertension have such types of disorders at the cellular-tissue and microcirculatory level that are not eliminated only by drug therapy. For their high-grade correction, along with multicomponent pharmacotherapy, it is necessary to include unloading therapeutic exercises. To optimize the treatment of severe arterial hypertension against the background of receiving multicomponent antihypertensive pharmacotherapy, it is recommended to include unloading therapeutic exercises in the therapeutic complex.
