[Torpid syndrome and its significance for the theoretical and clinical medicine]
Abstract:
The article presents the conception of biological nature of torpid syndrome. The hypobiotic reaction appearing at the beginning of evolution had secured biological systems survival through all its stages in extreme circumstances of habitat. Preserved ancient hypobiosis mechanisms of human and most mammals will mobilize at once when hazardous conditions appeared to secure life and maintain vital capacity. Theoretically, it was concluded that patients with signs of torpid syndrome have life-saving protective components of an extreme reaction. Practically, in this situation we can use in a complex treatment specific hypobiotic drugs to enhance these components. We should be careful prescribing stimulants which decrease the efficacy of the hypobiotic defense.
