Objective: evaluation of the differences in the level of temperature, sensory and motor blockade during the various techniques of spinal anesthesia. Materials and Methods. Prospectively the randomized study included 70 patients. In the group with conventional spinal anesthesia (n=35) 15mg of bupivacaine injected quickly. In the group with unilateral spinal anesthesia (n=35) 7.5mg of bupivacaine administered slowly, at a rate of 1 ml per minute. We studied the level of temperature and time, sensory and motor blockade. The data are statistically processed. Results. Reduced thermal sensitivity recorded in an average of 48 seconds as a unilateral spinal anesthesia group and the control group. Subarachnoid administration of 7.5 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine resulted in the development of a complete motor blockade underlying lower extremity in only 16 patients (45.7%). Conclusion. Using lower dosages of bupivacaine for unilateral spinal anesthesia lowers the threshold concentration of the local anesthetic in the subarachnoid space, resulting in slower motor neuron blockade and it is not total in more than 50% of cases.

Research goals were to evaluate the etiological structure of symptomatic epilepsy in children, age structure of period of disease manifestation, average length of latent period among children with different characters of lesions, dependence between frequency of seizures and character of lesion. Material and methods. A total of 180 case-records of patients with symptomatic epilepsy were analyzed by the next criteria: anamnesis, materials of electroencephalogram and neurovisualization. Results. The hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy was dominated among other etiologies. The most frequent age of manifestation was period from 1 to 14 years of life. The most frequent localization of epileptic focus was determined in the temporal and frontal lobes of brain. The longest latent period was in case of brain injury, the shortest period was in case of neuroinfection and the result of prenatal infections. Conclusion. The research shows that symptomatic epilepsy in children is a multi-factorial disease, which character and manifestation in greater extent depends on the initial damage as a cause of this pathology.
