Hyperthermia in medicine called a significant increase in body temperature (40 degrees Celsius), caused by a disease or some external factors. Hyperthermia is fraught with violations of the heart, kidneys and metabolism in the body. But while it is killing many types of viruses can not be at such high temperatures. No wonder that doctors often advise patients not to abuse antipyretic drugs, unless, of course, allows the heart. But all this, of course, to a certain extent: at temperatures above 41 degrees Celsius in the body can begin irreversible processes - until clotting protein. It is because the grading of medical thermometer and ending is 42 degrees.
Nevertheless, hyperthermia treat and cure a long time (see. "Science and Life" № 12, 1983). Half a century ago, a German physician von Ardenne opened the "heat" bad clinic for cancer patients. The fact is that cancer cells die at a temperature close to 42 degrees, and the background was able to heat Ardenne their patients to 41.8 degrees. It is true that survived of them no more than 17 percent, but those who survived, cured.
Used in the world of hyperthermia and now, and also in oncology. In the United States, for example, have learned to heat the human body to 42.5 degrees and then return it back to life. But Novosibirsk reached a point which stays invisible, which will significantly expand the scope of the method.
Traditionally, using hyperthermia for the treatment of cancer patients, Siberian doctors discovered an interesting fact. Those who are able to heal, yet at the same time get rid of a disease: they ceased to be so-called "medical addicts". But many of them for a long time administered narcotic painkillers, which inevitably led to chemical dependency. After hyperthermia she completely disappeared.
And then in Novosibirsk decided to try hyperthermia for the treatment of consumer addiction. To date, has treated dozens of people, all of them have suffered many hours procedure without complications. One of them is using drugs since 1977.
But why is this happening, how it changes the metabolic situation hyperthermia in the body - is still unknown. This problem is studied today specialists Department of Pathophysiology of Novosibirsk State Medical Academy.
Meanwhile, the authors of the new method have decided to try him for the treatment of HIV infection, which is most common among drug abusers. The results were impressive: 44-degree hyperthermia in the tens or even hundreds of times lowers the amount of immunodeficiency viruses in the blood of patients. This, of course, is not yet a cure, but a return to life. And yet, how and why this happens is unclear, too. Further research is needed.
What, however, is the method hyperthermia and why the Grand Prix awarded him the Congress of Anesthesiologists? How do they relate to heat the patient? The most direct! It anesthesiologists disable him consciousness and injected drugs for muscle relaxation and pain relievers shut down the body temperature regulation, to protect it from heat shock and prevent the onset of irreversible processes. And anesthetists continuously record the activity of the brain and heart and constantly ventilate the patient's lungs. In essence, the gradations of Anesthesiology, this procedure applies to the sixth (highest) level of complexity.
Yet not every patient can be subjected to such a procedure, since there are a number of serious contraindications impending complications. Therefore, the selection of candidates for the treatment of very thorough.
