Examination of the body

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.

Computer methods of analysis of an electroencephalogram

The main methods of computer EEG analysis used in the clinic include spectral analysis using the Fast Fourier Transform algorithm, instantaneous amplitude mapping, spike detection, and 3D localization of an equivalent dipole in the brain space.

Decoding of the results of electroencephalography

EEG analysis is performed during the recording and finally after its completion. At the time of recording, the presence of artifacts (focusing of the field of the network current, mechanical artifacts of the electrodes movement, electromyogram, electrocardiogram, etc.) is evaluated, take measures to eliminate them. The frequency and amplitude of the EEG are evaluated, characteristic graph elements are identified, their spatial and temporal distribution is determined.

Method of electroencephalography

In normal practice, the EEG is removed using electrodes located on intact head covers. Electrical potentials are amplified and recorded. In electroencephalographs, 16-24 or more identical amplifying-recording blocks (channels) are provided, allowing one-time recording of electrical activity from a corresponding number of pairs of electrodes mounted on the patient's head.
