[Tunnel neuropathy of the radial nerve in the elbow region].
Symptoms of tunnel pathologies of the radial nerve in the ulnar region were analyzed in 39 patients (48 arms). Of importance in the tunnel neuropathy development is an overstrain of the short radial extensor of the wrist and the supinator which are in a close anatomical contact with the radial nerve branches. The affection of the radial nerve manifests in a sharp painfulness on the lateral surface of the ulnar region. ⋯ When the epicondylar branch was involved, the secondary syndrome of lateral epicondylitis developed: this was observed in 34 patients. In 17 patients a deceleration of the impulse transmission along the efferent fibres of the radial nerve was observed. The treatment consisted in paraneural injection of hydrocortisone emulsion and radial nerve decompression.

[Nature and pathogenic significance of vertebral osteochondrosis].
On the basis of literary data the authors demonstrate that spinal osteochondrosis is due to aging changes in the biochemism and structure of intervertebral discs. Under the influence of such factors as physical, overtension, overcooling of the organism, osteochondrosis may acquire a pathogenic significance in the appearance of some diseases. This in its turn may be due to the development of supplementary processes in the discs and adjacent tissues. The authors discuss the insufficiently studied problem of overcooling of the organism in the development of sacro-lumbar radiculitis, underlining the facts of influence of overcooling on the hemodynamics and metabolism of the organism.

There were also specific bone anomalies. ⋯ The authors discuss the possible mechanisms of motor disorders. Besides personal material the paper contains the main facts of modern literature in relation to the clinical picture and pathogenesis of nemaline myopathy.
