Examination of the body

Colposcopy

The colposcopy was proposed in 1925 by Hinzelman. Colposcopy allows you to make a detailed examination of the vaginal part of the cervix and vaginal walls with a special optical device - the colposcope. The design of the colposcope includes an optical system of lenses with a focal length of 25-28 cm and interchangeable eyepieces, giving an increase from 6 to 28 times

PCR diagnosis in gynecology

With the help of the method of polymerase chain reactions (PCR), it is now possible to identify a variety of infectious agents located in the focus of inflammation. The most modern of the molecular methods of DNA hybridization makes it possible to identify the human papillomavirus by serotypes.

Cytological studies of vaginal discharge

Screening cytological methods. Produced for the purpose of early detection of cancer of the uterus and cervix. The nature of the pathological process is recognized on the basis of the following features: the morphological features of the cells, the quantitative relationship of individual cell groups, the location of cellular elements in the preparation.

Microbiological and bacterioscopic examination of vaginal discharge

Microbiological and bacterioscopic research is used to diagnose inflammatory processes and allows to establish the condition of the vaginal biocenosis, as well as some causative agents of sexually transmitted diseases. This research is carried out at the primary reference of the woman to the gynecologist, and also before gynecological operations and diagnostic manipulations.

Breast examination

Examination and palpation of the mammary glands by a gynecologist is just as necessary as examining the cervix in the mirrors for gynecological examination. When examining, it is necessary to pay attention to the structure of the mammary glands, their size (hypoplasia, hypertrophy, graphic changes).

Bimanual vaginal examination

Vaginal (internal) examination is performed by the middle and index fingers of one hand (usually the right one). With the other hand, you must first dilute the labia. Vaginal examination allows you to determine the condition of the pelvic floor muscles, large glands of the vestibule, urethra, vagina

Methods of investigation of the autonomic nervous system

In the study of the autonomic nervous system, it is important to determine its functional state. The principles of research should be based on the clinical-experimental approach, the essence of which is the functional dynamic studies of tone, vegetative reactivity, vegetative support of activity.

Thermal imaging (thermography)

Thermography - registration of invisible infrared radiation. The maximum of the radiation is 9.5 μm. According to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, the amount of radiated energy is proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature: W = T4.

Electroencephalography with epilepsy

The definition of epileptic seizure through the concept of the discharge of neurons determines the most important value of EEG in epileptology. Specification of the form of epilepsy (more than 50 variants) includes an obligatory component description of the characteristic pattern of this form of EEG. The value of EEG is determined by the fact that epileptic discharges, and consequently, epileptiform activity, are also observed on the EEG outside the epileptic attack.

Violations of the electroencephalogram in diseases

Tumors of the brain hemispheres cause the appearance of slow waves on the EEG. When middle structures are involved in local changes, bilateral-synchronous disturbances can be added. A progressive increase in the severity of changes with tumor growth is characteristic. Extracerebral benign tumors cause less severe disorders.
