METHOD FOR EVALUATING INFANTINE ORGANISM HORMONE STATE Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves thyrotropic hormone contents in patient organism using any available method. To evaluate functional activity of the thyroid gland and suprarenal glands, matched symmetric points are selected on the skin surface in the thyroid gland area and matched points symmetrically arranged relative to the vertebral column are selected in the suprarenal gland area. Initial values of bioelectromagnetic response index are measured before and after exposing them to physical factor action. Thyroid gland response to physical factor action is evaluated by calculating functional state index from formula Q1=1 - Z1 / Z2, for the case of Z1 <Z2, Q1= 1 - Z2Z1 for the case of Z2 <Z1, Q2=1-Z3 / Z4, for the case of Z3 <Z4, Q2= 1 - Z4Z3 for the case of Z3 > Z4, where Q1,Q2 are the thyroid gland and suprarenal glands functional state index, respectively. Z1-Z4 are bioelectromagnetic response index mean values measured before and after exposure to physical factor action in points under study in the area of the thyroid gland and suprarenal glands, respectively. Hormonal state of the organism is evaluated by calculating hormonal state index from formula J=(Q1+Q2) x Q3 / (Y / Q4), where J is the hormonal state index of the organism, Q3 is the current value of inoculation coefficient, Q4 is the maximum value of inoculation coefficient, Y is the quantity of thyrotropic hormone in patient organism. J values are thought to be normal when they belong to the range from 5 to 7.5. Subcompensation state is diagnosed when J value is in the range from 3 to 5 and from 7.5 to 10. Decompensation state is diagnosed when J is less than 3 and greater than 10. EFFECT: enhanced reliability and speed in evaluating hormonal state.
