[The autonomic mechanisms of the initial manifestations of cerebral circulatory failure and a method for their correction].
Initial manifestations of cerebrovascular insufficiency against the background of atherosclerosis and hypertensive disease were evaluated in 50 sailors. Vegetative dysfunctions in these patients showed different states of the vegetative tone reactivity. It was found that ultraviolet irradiation of the blood produced a positive effect on the course of cerebro-vascular disturbances. The parasympathetic and sympathetic portions were selectively influenced.
