Fifty patients with the clinical diagnosis of initial manifestations of the deficiency of the brain blood supply and 30 normal persons of the corresponding age (the control group) were studied. The main group consisted of patients from 40-67 years. Along with the similar clinical study rheoencephalographic and electroencephalographic studies with the aid of various functional samples were conducted. The initial manifestations of the inadequacy in the brain blood supply frequently developed on the background of cerebral atherosclerosis of a different type of expressiveness, hypertensive disease and their combination, vegetovascular dystonia. With the help of the functional samples the peculiarities of reactivity of the vascular system were established in these patients. The antiorthostatic and nitroglycerin samples appeared to be informative. The combined REG and EEG registrations demonstrated in these patients signs of a deficit of brain blood supply causing in a number of cases changes in its functional states. The clinical (seldom electrographic) changes are of a reversible character and regress during the treatment of the main vascular disease. The obtained data permit to recommend the method of functional electrography (REG and EEG) in order to reveal the initial forms of brain vascular diseases. These patients must be supervised by a dispansary.

The study is related to a clinical and REG study of 387 patients with cerebral forms of neurocirculatory dystonia, proceeding against the background of normal, increased and decreased arterial pressure. These studies were performed in order to clarify the question of the state of cerebral hemodynamics in this form of vascular pathology. The study detected some general regularities of the changes of cerebral hemodynamics (an increase of the cerebral vascular tone, difficulties of the venous outflow, signs of vascular dystonia in the form of unstable curves and intrahemispheric asymmetry) and some traits in different types of neurocirculatory dystonia as well as some traits of semiotics.

Dynamics of electro- and rheoencephalographic (EEG and REG) indices in patients with some forms of cephalgia (vegetovascular dystonia--VVD) as well as with chronic nonspecific pulmonary diseases has been studied under the effect of artificial mountain climate therapy conducted using a special chamber "Orotron" created by a collective of researchers from Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The results of EEG and REG analysis reflect a general tendency to improvement of the bioelectrical brain activity and cerebral hemodynamics.

Cavinton was used for 10 years in 967 patients with different cerebrovascular diseases. The highest effect was seen in patients with early forms and primarily chronic forms: vegetovascular (neurocirculatory) dystonia, initial manifestations of brain blood supply insufficiency, circulatory encephalopathy in the first and second stages. Improvement of the subjective status and a decrease of the intensity of vestibulocerebellar disorders were recorded by the end of the treatment in 75-85% of such patients. In ischemic brain stroke, regress of general cerebral and focal symptoms was more rapid and significant in the adequate reaction type of cerebral hemodynamics to cavinton administration (a rise of pulse blood content of the brain and a reduction of the vascular tone according to the REG data) and was less noticeable in the hypertonic and, in particular, in the hypotonic type. Cavinton should not be used in severe general cerebral hypertensive crises, as well as in elderly or senile patients with acute cardio-cerebral or cerebro-cardiac syndrome, postinfarction cardiosclerosis, marked disorders of heart rhythm.

According to the authors' observations, the symptoms of nervous system derangement associated with legionnaires' disease rather often enter the disease structure and can virtually be characterized as a manifestation of infectious and toxic encephalopathy and polyneuropathy (encephalopolyneuropathy). In the majority of cases, the neurological disorders develop acutely or subacutely after or simultaneously with respiratory lesions. The clinical picture of encephalopathy is marked by permanent headache, mental abnormalities, memory disturbances, insomnia, pronounced astheno-vegetative and vascular manifestations. In patients with legionellosis, polyneuropathy is manifested by paresthesias, less frequently by pains in the distal parts of the limbs and myasthenia without visible atrophies. Vegetative disorders such as vegetative polyneuropathy of the hands and legs, visceral polyneuropathies are typical symptoms of the disease whatever its gravity. Vegetovascular dystonia together with long-term AP instability is an obligate sign of the disease. Electrophysiological examinations (EEG, REG, EMG) support the clinical findings and may serve the basis for an objective evaluation of the gravity of the neurological disorders. The degree of pulmonary lesions and the intensity of vegetative disorders eventually determine the torpidity and characteristics of the disease course.

The results of examining patients aged 10 to 15 years suffering from vegetovascular dystonia (VVD) associated with the tetanic syndrome (TS) are provided. Patients with VVD not associated with the TS, and healthy patients of the comparable age made up the control. Use was made of the electrophysiological techniques (EEG, EMG, REG), vegetological methods (background, reactivity, activity support), neuropsychological (MMPI, Spielberger and Izenk tests), polygraphic and biochemical methods. The authors describe a number of disease characteristics (predominance of the latent forms of the TS, the normal calcemic pattern of tetany, etc). Emphasize the role of nongross lesions of the nonspecific integrating brain systems in the genesis of the given syndrome determined by perinatal injury to the brain.

A mode is proposed of treatment of chronic cerebrovascular disorders, such as initial manifestations of cerebral blood supply insufficiency (IMBSI) and dyscirculatory encephalopathy (DE) stage I-II in hypertensive disease, involving the use of laser puncture and microclimate of biotron. All patients (n = 162) were exposed to laser puncture (10-12 procedures). Laser puncture treatments were devised according to classical approaches of reflexotherapy, using determinants of electropuncture diagnostic method by Riodoraku. The treatments were carried out with the aid of infrared portable laser "Biomed-001". IMBSI patients presenting with vegetovascular dystonia and about 70% of IMBSI patients presenting with hypertensive disease derived benefit from a course of laser puncture, as evidenced by REG, EEG, acupuncture diagnosis, iridodiagnosis according. In DE stage I-II patients and about 30% IMBSI patients presenting with hypertensive disease good therapeutic effect occurred after treatment in a ward with a stable microclimate of biotron. The proposed method can be used for treating chronic cerebrovascular disorders and administering stroke prophylaxis.
