Case Reports Comparative Study[Treatment of patients with facial hemispasm by transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation].
Fifty-two patients (aged 15 to 78 years) suffering from facial hemispasm were treated by transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS). For this purpose electric-impulse apparatuses generating bipolar nonsymmetrical impulses were employed. ⋯ After a TENS session EMG showed no spontaneous activity in the form of "volleys of oscillations". A possible mechanism of TENS therapeutic effect in facial hemispasm is discussed.

[Information value of initial clinical signs for the prognosis of outcome in the first 24 hours after craniocerebral injury].
The informativeness of clinical indicators for predicting lethal and favourable outcomes during the first 24 hours after a head trauma has been investigated. A pool of clinical findings about the status of 302 patients examined according to a uniform technique has been analyzed using a packet of the MEDSTAT-85 software. The authors present an optimal set of clinical signs for predicting fatal and favourable outcome within the first 24 hours after the trauma with an 83% probability rate.

[Diagnosis and forensic psychiatric expertise in traumatic cerebral arachnoiditis].
Patients (123) with traumatic cerebral arachnoiditis due to closed craniocerebral trauma, were investigated during complications or late sequelae of the trauma. All the patients were subjected to spinal puncture. Asthenic, psychosis-like and hallucinatory-paranoid disorders were detected as well as partial oligophrenia and dullness of consciousness. The degree of mental disorders run parallel with intracranial pressure elevation, suggesting the role of intracranial hypertension in pathogenesis of several psychic disorders.
