[Diagnosis and treatment of encephalitis caused by herpes simplex virus].
The article is reviewing various diagnostic and treatment techniques in encephalitis caused by the virus of herpes simplex. Clinical symptoms and variants of the course of the disease are considered together with laboratory investigations of cerebrospinal fluid, electroencephalography and computerized tomography. The patients with the herpetic encephalitis suspected, need intensive treatment measures. Besides the conventional techniques, the early use of Acyclovir is recommended.

[Status of cerebral ventricles and meninges in subarachnoid hemorrhage (clinico-pathomorphological studies)].
Long-term investigation of 64 patients with subarachnoidal hemorrhages (SH), 24 of which had subsequently died, and 2 series of experiments of animals with a single or repeated intracysternal infusion of various doses of autologous blood, yielded the description of the response of the meninges and ventricles at different terms after SH. The brain ventricles were measured by axial computer tomography and echoencephalography. ⋯ The cerebral meninges from experimental animals and autopsied human ones underwent the histological examination. The authors discuss the mechanisms of development of liquor dynamic disorders at different terms after SH.

Comparative Study[Activity of platelet serotonin receptors of patients with endogenous depression before and after treatment with antidepressive agents].
Effective 5-HT concentration eliciting the half-maximal rate of platelet deformation (aggregation) in drug-free bipolar or unipolar depressed women was significantly (p less than 0.001) lower as compared with matched controls (0.13 +/- 0.04 microM and 0.532 +/- 0.1 microM, respectively). After 1-3 months of antidepressant treatment this value increased to 0.47 +/- 0.16 microM and was no longer different from control. Possible mechanisms controlling the activity of serotonin2 platelet receptors are discussed.

[Thermographic examination of patients with neurologic manifestations of lumbar osteochondrosis].
The article deals with thermography data collected for 94 patients with different clinical signs of lumbar osteochondrosis (reflex, radicular, vascular, radiculo-spinal). The features of thermograms were described as depending on the leading clinical syndrome of the disease. A lack of direct correlation between the severity of the pain syndrome and thermoasymmetry was registered. The data suggest wider use of the diagnostic capacities of IR-imaging techniques in patients with vertebrogenic pathology.
