The results of the long-term observations confirmed the enhanced effectiveness of the spa and health resort-based treatment of metabolic syndrome including the therapeutic courses with the intake of cooled narzan mineral water in the combination with phytococktails. This therapeutic modality increased the duration of the favorable changes of various parameters that characterize metabolic syndrome. Specifically, they persisted during 5-6 months after the application of the standard methods, were still apparent within 6-7 months after the two-week course of the treatment with cold narzan and phytococktails, and during 8-9 months when the duration of the treatment course was extended up to 3 weeks.

The research objective is to develop a program to correct psycho-emotional and vascular-autonomic dysfunction with patients suffering from adenomyosis using complex radon, laser and drug treatment. Material and methods. There were 100 women with adenomyosis complicated by psycho-emotional and vascular-autonomic dysfunction from the age of 23 up to 37 years old who underwent treatment at a branch of Pyatigorsk Clinic of North Caucasian Federal Scientific and Clinical Centre of Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia. The patients were divided into 2 groups by a randomized method: the main group received radon, laser and drug therapy with Melaxen, the group of comparison received radon and laser therapy. Results. A comparative analysis showed the expediency of including adaptogens in the complex of sanatorium-and-spa treatment of patients with endometrial disease: the improvement of clinical symptoms in the main group compared to the group of comparison was more frequent by 1.36 times; normalization of vegetative management in the main group occurred with 72% of the patients compared to 52% in the group of comparison; in the main group the decrease in the intensity of anxious disorders was 2.64 times (p 0.01), against 1.46 times in the group of comparison (p 0.05); normalization of concentration of peptide and steroid hormones in blood serum in the main group was with 64% of the patients versus 42% in the group of comparison. Conclusion. Inclusion of Melaxen in the complex of traditional sanatorium-and-spa treatment of patients with adenomyosis (radon and laser therapy) provides significant improvement of neuroendocrine system, psycho-emotional, vegetative-vascular status.

The objective: to study the effectiveness of natural and preformed physical factors in correcting functional state of liver in patients with postcholecystectomy syndrome. Material and methods. We examined 80 patients after cholecystectomy at the age of 45.410.2 years. Patients received spa therapy with the use of drinking mineral water Essentuki-Novaya and foam licorice baths (comparison group; n=40) and additionally magnetotherapy on the upper half of the body (main group; n=40). Results. After the treatment, patients showed a positive dynamics of clinical symptoms of the disease, functional liver tests, lipid metabolism, normalization of lipid peroxidation. Conclusion. The complex application of natural healing factors and magnetotherapy to patients after cholecystectomy leads to a significant improvement in the basic functions of the hepatobiliary system, normalizes peroxide homeostasis, stabilizes lipid metabolism, prevents the development of inflammatory-degenerative and stagnant phenomena in the biliary system, which prevents the progression of the pathological process.
