Materials and methods: Clinical examination and treatment of 67 patients aged 18-65 years with erosive-ulcerative lesions of oral mucosa were carried out. Treatment of patients in the main group was performed using photodynamic therapy. Treatment of patients of the control group was carried out according to the standard method. The results of treatment were evaluated by clinical and cytological parameters. Results: In all patients of the main group with chronic traumatic erythema, already on the second day of treatment, complaints of pain when talking and eating completely disappeared, and on the third day in 100% of patients the affected mucosa had no pathological changes. In patients with erosive-ulcerative lesions, complete clinical recovery in the main group was observed on the 3-4th day of treatment, in the control group – on the 7-10th day. The results of cytological examination, namely the absence of young epithelial cells of stages 1 and 2 of differentiation, a significant decrease of intermediate maturity cells (stages 3 and 4) and a similar increase of mature cells (stages 5 and 6), indicated the acceleration of mucosal regeneration in patients of the main group compared to the control group. Conclusions: The use of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of traumatic oral mucosa lesions contributed to the acceleration of elimination of clinical manifestations of chronic mechanical injuries and the normalization of parameters of cytological characteristics of epithelial cells in patients of the main group compared to the group of standard treatment.","PeriodicalId":42213,"journal":{"name":"Acta Balneologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69730661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: Participants were randomly divided into the main and control groups consisting of 11 people each. The complex rehabilitation program in the main group combined laser therapy and different types of therapeutic exercises, in the control group the laser therapy was excluded. The effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated by the intensity of pain in the patella (Visual Analog Scale) and the functional ability of the knee (VISA-P scale). Results: At the end of the intervention, a significant reduction in pain was observed in both groups. The average scores on the VAS scale were reduced to 2.0 points in the main group and to 3.5 in the control one. The share of patients, whose pain was eased, was 27.27 per cent in the main group, in the control group such people were not detected. After two months of intervention according to the results of the VISA-P scale in both study groups, there was an improvement in the functional capacity of the knee joint. Thus, the average number of points increased by 30.5 points in the main group, and by 12.0 in the control one. Conclusions: The use of high-frequency laser therapy in a comprehensive program of physical rehabilitation of patients with patellar tendinopathy shows better results for reducing pain and improving the functioning of the knee joint than without it. We believe that high-frequency laser therapy can be used as an important adjunct to various types of therapeutic exercises in the comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with patellar tendinopathy.","PeriodicalId":42213,"journal":{"name":"Acta Balneologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69728220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conclusions: The prevention of chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis requires a comprehensive and individualized approach to solve this issue. Reduction of this disease to one cause becomes serious due to its polyetiology, which makes it more difficult to predict the causes of recurrence and solution of the prevention issue. Trigger mechanisms that provoke the formation of CRAS differ in various patients (stress, mechanical disorders, the nature of nutrition, lack of vitamins or trace elements, infections, etc.). However, the immunopathogenetic mechanism may be a common link for the main triggers of the aphthae recurrence emergence. Due to the imperfect understanding of etiopathogenetic factors, the prevention of chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis is aimed at increasing the intervals between the appearance of new lesions, reducing the number of aphthae and their size, so in other words, it is secondary.","PeriodicalId":42213,"journal":{"name":"Acta Balneologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69728580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were divided into two groups (control and experimental) each one including 20 people. The average patients’ age was 52.75 (± 11.58). The patients had been medically examined before the rehabilitation process implementation and after its completion. The test was carried out using the patient’s card, Laitinen’s scale and mobility tests with a plurimeter. Rehabilitation has taken place for four weeks daily. The exercises of the patients from the experimental group were based on comprehensive manual therapy meanwhile the control group underwent a standard package of physical therapy, balneotherapy and sensorimotor exercises. Results: Two statistically significant phenomena were observed in both groups: decrease of pain in the lower spine and the range motion improvement, nevertheless, both results were significantly greater in the experimental group. Conclusions: Both therapeutic programs indicate an advantageous impact in terms of reducing pain and functioning in everyday life, but the manual therapy is much more effective.","PeriodicalId":42213,"journal":{"name":"Acta Balneologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69729172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: 120 patients with a reduced response to dosed physical activity, with Q, QS MI and concomitant hypertension, who were at the stage of rehabilitation and recovery treatment, were examined. Results: In the course of the study, during the 6-minute walk test, a decrease in oxygen consumption was found in the group of patients of an adequate tolerance to physical activity by 18.42% compared to 15.21% in the group of patients of low tolerance to activity. During the analysis of ABPM (Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring) indicators, it was found that in patients who made up the group of low tolerance to DPA (Dosed Physical Activity), significantly higher average values of systolic blood pressure (SBP) (159.24}3.4) mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (96.26}2 .49) mm Hg, as well as heart rate.
