Associate Professor E. I. Zaitseva (Smolensk). On the significance of functional changes in the liver in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease with sleep

Many aspects of sleep therapy are not yet well understood. Firstly, it cannot be assumed that during the treatment with medication sleep, only conditions that protect the nerve cells are created - at the same time, one or another force shifts in biochemical processes (and, consequently, in the functions) of tissues of all organs and systems. They do not bypass the brain tissue either, and this affects the cortico-visceral relationship. The shifts in the body caused by narcotic sleep are sometimes so significant that they themselves can cause painful manifestations. Secondly, it is quite obvious that not only changes in the central nervous system are to blame for the onset of the disease, and the use of artificial inhibition in all stages and with various manifestations of the disease cannot be considered justified for therapeutic purposes. Thirdly, hypnotic substances make changes during all processes in the body during treatment and thus affect the results of treatment.
