Aim: To evaluate the effects of a therapeutic regimen incorporating magnetophoresis with Argensept and tear replacement therapy on patient complaints, clinical symptoms, and quality of life in individuals with mild to moderate dry eye syndrome (DES).

Materials and methods: The study included 50 individuals (100 eyes) diagnosed with mild to moderate DES (H04.1 according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision). The average patient age was 43.3 years. Participants were divided into two groups. The first group (comparison group) comprised 25 patients (50 eyes) who received a therapeutic regimen consisting of magnetophoresis with Argensept and tear replacement therapy. The second group (control group) included 25 patients (50 eyes) who received only tear replacement therapy. Additionally, data from 20 healthy individuals (40 eyes) were used as a reference for normal values. All participants underwent Schirmer’s test and completed the OSDI (Ocular Surface Disease Index) questionnaire before and after treatment.

Results: Following treatment, the group receiving the combined therapy of magnetophoresis with Argensept and tear replacement therapy demonstrated a significant reduction in the frequency of complaints and clinical symptoms. Additionally, highly significant improvements were observed in Schirmer’s test scores and OSDI questionnaire results in patients with both mild and moderate DES.

Conclusion: The application of a therapeutic regimen that includes magnetophoresis with Argensept and tear replacement therapy significantly reduces complaints, improves subjective well-being, and enhances the quality of life in patients with mild to moderate DES. These findings are supported by improvements in Schirmer’s test scores and OSDI questionnaire responses.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of combined physiotherapy and hydrogen sulfide balneotherapy in patients who underwent endoscopic surgery on the fallopian tubes for tubal and uterine infertility.

Materials and methods: A total of 104 patients who had undergone endoscopic surgery on the fallopian tubes for tubal and uterine infertility were observed. Using simple randomization, the study population was divided into three groups. The control group (34 patients) received standard postoperative therapy, including conventional antibiotic treatment. The second group (32 patients) received a combination of pharmacotherapy, electro-magnetolaser therapy, and an anti-adhesion resorbable gel Mesogel (Russia). The main group (38 patients) underwent delayed rehabilitative treatment with hydrogen sulfide water therapy following combined pharmacological and electro-magnetolaser therapy. Patients were evaluated using standard clinical assessment methods, including clinical and immunological parameters, hysterosalpingography, pelvic ultrasound, and quality-of-life assessment.

Results: The study assessed the restoration of reproductive function in women through physiotherapeutic and natural local treatments. The main group demonstrated significant alleviation of clinical symptoms (p <0.01), improvement in immune status parameters (p <0.05), restoration of fallopian tube patency (p < 0.05), and improved pelvic organs condition. A clinically significant difference in final outcomes was observed between the main and control groups (p <0.05). The high therapeutic efficacy of the proposed rehabilitative treatment was confirmed, with pregnancy achieved in 48% of cases.

Conclusion: The obtained results suggest that the proposed rehabilitation method for patients after endoscopic surgery on the fallopian tubes for tubal and uterine infertility significantly enhances the effectiveness of standard therapy and leads to a substantial improvement in reproductive function.

Background: Vertebrogenic disorders are among the most common chronic diseases in humans, with degenerative-dystrophic changes in the spine being the most prevalent. Severe clinical manifestations of vertebrogenic diseases typically occur during active working years and are a frequent cause of temporary disability. A particularly important issue is the need for regular rehabilitation courses for patients with chronic dorsopathy to prolong remission. However, due to the working-age status of many patients, logistical and paramedical challenges — particularly in implementing therapeutic exercises — often hinder access to rehabilitation procedures. The development of remote rehabilitation using information and communication technologies, such as smartphones and computers, presents a viable alternative to in-person rehabilitation.

Aim: To assess the effectiveness and safety of motor rehabilitation using telemedicine in patients with dorsopathy of various localizations in remission.

Materials and methods: This retrospective study included 32 patients aged 35 to 70 years with dorsopathy of various localizations in remission who underwent rehabilitation via telemedicine. Upon completing an in-person comprehensive treatment course which included pharmacotherapy and medical rehabilitation, all patients were provided with a link to access a structured motor rehabilitation program. The effectiveness of rehabilitation was assessed using standardized questionnaires and mobility assessment tests.

Results: Telemedicine-based rehabilitation for patients with dorsopathy of various localizations in remission demonstrated positive clinical outcomes.

Conclusion: Specialized therapeutic exercise programs and a structured model for remote rehabilitation may serve as an effective alternative to in-person rehabilitation, particularly in cases where paramedical challenges hinder direct participation.
