The article presents an analysis of the application of physical therapy methods during the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union. It was observed that physical therapy, combined with surgical and other methods, significantly improves the efficacy of patients' treatment, including with battle injuries, as well as with injuries of other etiology, such as frostbite, and also contributes to reducing the incidence of disabilities among the injured. The features of the physical therapy methods' organization sequently from 1941 to 1945, and also the results of active development of physical medicine, have been characterized. The features of physical therapy methods' application both on different bases of healthcare delivery (hospital bases, in the rear) and with regard to various types of pathology have been shown. The importance of involving physical therapy methods in curative measures from the early stages of treatment has been noted.

The problem of comprehensive physical therapy in polymorbidity (PM) identifies among the most urgent difficulties of modern rehabilitation medicine. It is known that PM are more common than it is generally accepted, and their impact on the endpoints of rehabilitative treatment is more significant. Yet, many problems of PM have not been investigated and properly solved.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of comprehensive physical therapy (CPT) in PM in the age aspect on the basis of correlation analysis and ANOVA indicators (OR, RR, Q, x², r²), as well as evidence-based medicine (EBM), in particular randomized comparative study (RCS).

Material and methods: A number of patients with PM equal 554 underwent CPT, of which 204 (36.8%) were male and 350 (63.2%) female. The identified age cohorts were following: the 1st group - 188 (33.9%) patients aged from 45 to 59; the 2nd group - 366 (66.1%) patients aged from 60 to 74. The ratio of middle-aged and elderly patients was 1.9:1.

Results: The efficacy of CPT in patients with PM was judged, first of all, by documentary (medical histories and medical records of patients) and mathematical data (OR, RR, Q, x², r²). The evidence level of CPT effect was determined on the basis of the analysis of the particular method's study results.

Conclusion: The incidence of positive CPT result in middle-aged patients was higher than in elderly. The positive strong statistical correlation between comprehensive physical therapy and the endpoint in most classes of diseases of patients with PM. The comparative assessment of CPT efficacy based on the EBM principles revealed the advantages of their use for elderly patients relative to middle-aged group.

Postoperative pain is a pressing medical problem, as it significantly reduces the quality of life of patients after surgical treatment. Chronic postoperative pain further disables patients and impairs their functional activity. Being a widespread interdisciplinary problem, postoperative pain requires the integration of various pain management methods in complex multimodal pain management in the acute period and treatment programs for its chronicity. The paper examines the possibilities of reflexology methods for the relief of acute and treatment of chronic postoperative pain. Integration of reflex effects from the first days after surgery makes it possible to more effectively and safely solve the problems of acute and chronic postoperative pain.

Currently important task of modern medicine is the development of personalized comprehensive physiotherapy technologies for the treatment of patients with chronic prostatitis (CP).

Objective: To analyze scientific data about efficacy of physiotherapy methods for the treatment of CP.

Material and methods: The number of publications equal 55 about evaluation of therapeutic effects of instrumental physiotherapy in patients with CP have been conducted. The search was done in electronic databases (PEDro, PubMed, EMBASE, eLIBRARY), systematic reviews databases (Cochrane library) for the last 20 years by keywords in Russian and English: «хронический простатит» (chronic prostatitis), «электротерапия» (electrotherapy), «магнитотерапия» (magnetotherapy), «лазерная терапия» (laser therapy), «ударно-волновая терапия» (shock wave therapy), «ультразвук» (ultrasound).

Results: The clinical effects and suggested action mechanisms of instrumental physiotherapy methods in patients with CP were presented.

Conclusion: Based on the results of the randomized placebo-controlled trials, presented in the review, it can be concluded, that certain physiotherapeutic interventions, such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, extracorporal shock wave therapy, ultrasound, impulsive magnetotherapy lead to decrease of prostatitis symptoms.

Introduction: High-intensity laser technologies are widely used in modern restorative medicine, and indications for their use are expanding annually. These technologies are effective, potentially safe methods of treating many diseases. with pronounced therapeutic effects.

Purpose of research: Analysis of scientific evidence of the effectiveness and safety of high-intensity laser therapy in patients with various diseases.

Material and methods: A comprehensive scientometric analysis of evidence-based studies of the effectiveness and safety of high-intensity laser therapy methods was carried out according to electronic databases (Google scholar, PEDro, PubMed, Cochrane DATABASE) for the period from 2006 to 2021.

Results: High-intensity laser therapy has a wide range of significantly pronounced therapeutic effects. and it is an effective method of treating patients with various diseases. Various technologies and methods of its application are widely used in various fields of clinical medicine. Individually developed therapy protocols are needed, with optimal exposure parameters for each patient, intervals between procedures.

Conclusion: It is advisable to develop more reliable and standard evaluation criteria, regular generalization and analysis of existing evidence, careful planning and implementation of further large-scale randomized controlled trials to study the effects of high-intensity laser radiation both as a single effect and as part of combinations with other treatment methods. The effectiveness of combination therapy requires further analysis in the course of conducting new benign clinical trials.

Postoperative pulmonary complications in cardiac surgery patients occur in 10-35% of cases, depending on differences in their definition, patient characteristics and type of surgical intervention, most of them are associated with ineffective coughing and evacuation of bronchial secretions.

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of stimulating the evacuation of bronchial secretions with the help of oscillating PEP therapy carried out during the first three days.

Material and methods: A randomized prospective study of 60 adult patients after elective cardiac surgery was performed (Clinical Trials.gov. protocol number NCT05159401). Oscillatory PEP-therapy was performed in 30 patients using Acapella DHGreen device (SmithMedicalASD, USA) 10-12 hours after tracheal extubation 3 times a day for 3 days after surgery. The control group (30 patients). The inclusion criteria: age over 18 years, spontaneous breathing after tracheal extubation, clear consciousness and productive contact with the patient, the ability to maintain adequate gas exchange on the low-flow oxygen inhalation, adequate analgesia (<2 points of VAS). Exclusion criteria: the need for re-intubation and mechanical ventilation, non-invasive mask ventilation, high-flow oxygen therapy, acute cerebrovascular accident, ongoing bleeding, cardiac insufficiency (inotropic index >10), shocks syndrome of various etiologies, the use of any extracorporeal support, any neuromuscular disorders, pneumothorax, hydro-or hemothorax. Before each session and 20 minutes after its end, when breathing air, blood oxygen saturation was recorded using a pulse oximeter (SpO₂), the maximum inspiratory capacity (MIC) was measured using a Coach-2 incentive spirometer from SmithsMedical and spirometry with a portable ultrasonic spirometer Spiro Scout (Schiller, Switzerland). For the purposes of this work, the total index of the spirometry maximum inspiratory capacity (SMIC) was used - the sum of the respiratory volume and the reserve volume of inspiration in ml.

Results: Difficulties in evacuation of sputum were noted in 90% of patients. Three-day sessions of oscillating PEP- therapy are accompanied by a significant improvement in the passage of sputum, as evidenced by a 3-fold increase in the number of patients with productive cough. The increase in MIC in the main group was 46.9% and 21.3%, respectively (p=0.042), and the number of patients with values greater than MICo. 1500 ml increased from 23.3% to 7.6% (p<0.001). The effectiveness of oscillatory PEP-therapy is confirmed by a 7-fold decrease in the frequency of radiological changes in the lungs at the end of sessions (p<0.001), while in the control group the frequency of their occurrence practically did not change and remained at a high level. The total number of patients with respiratory insufficiency (SpO₂≤92%) decreased by 8.6 times after comp

Sudden hair thinning, phantom trichalgia in the early and late rehabilitation period after novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) are the most common complaints of patients, that can be considered by both dermatocosmetologist and medical rehabilitation specialist. A telogen hair loss was found in 19.8% of patients, whereby 27.3% of patients suffering from hair loss during disease and 72.7% - at 3rd-6th month after recovery. Most commonly, hair loss is non-structural and associated with an abnormal ovulatory cycle shift and diffuse asynchronous loss of hair follicles in telogen phase, as well as with an increase of total predisposed to loss hair follicles number. Nevertheless, the analysis of clinical observations of patients with post-COVID hair loss has shown that this disorder is registered not only in telogen phase. There is a rapid disease progression up to the final stages in the presence of verified androgenetic alopecia diagnosis. The cases of alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecia, associated with previous COVID-19, also were registered. Androgenetic alopecia is the first (30.7%) and diffuse alopecia is the second (19.8%) by degree of incidence. The relapses or much less frequently the onsets of alopecia areata and the unexplained pronounced pain at the hair roots in parietal region (7.8%) are in the third place. The article presents in detail the possible reasons and mechanisms of hair loss associated with COVID-19, determines necessary examinations with consideration to the scientific analysis of domestic and foreign literature sources.

Cerebral palsy is a neurological disease that is associated with multiple motor impairments and dysfunctions in children. The effective recovery of motor activity in both the upper and lower limbs is an important condition for the patient's social independence throughout his life. Robotic systems are new devices which are becoming increasingly popular as a part of the treatment of cerebral palsy. They have become a good addition to comprehensive rehabilitation therapy, including conducted at the sanatorium-resort stage. Further research is needed to clarify and prove the extent to which these devices help in treatment of children with cerebral palsy.
