Приводится краткая информация о методе газоразрядной визуализации (ГРВ) и его возможностях. Представлены результаты исследований, проведенных в п. Баренцбург в 2017 и в 2018 г.г. по выявлению возможностей метода ГРВ для оценки психофизиологических эффектов, возникающих в результате воздействия геокосмических агентов на организм человека. Показано, что метод ГРВ обладает рядом преимуществ по сравнению с другими физиологическими методами и в зависимости от режима регистрации показателей ГРВ позволяет выявлять влияние геокосмических агентов на состояние автономной нервной системы., Brief information on the method of gas discharge visualization (GDV) and its capabilities is provided. The results of studies conducted in the Barentsburg in 2017 and in 2018 are presented. The possibilities of the GDV method for assessing the psychophysiological effects arising from the action of geocosmic agents on the human body have been estimated. It has been shown that the GDV method has several advantages compared with other physiological methods and depending on the registration mode of GDV indicators allows to reveal the influence of geocosmic agents on the state of the autonomic nervous system., №8(5) (2020)

Purpose:The aim of this pilot study was to test autistic children, siblings and their parents using a biometric device based on the gas discharge visualization (GDV) technique in order to assess their psycho-emotional and physiological functional state based on the activity of the autonomic nervous system. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that the biometric assessment based on GDV will enable us: (1) to evaluate some specific features associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as well as to compare autistic children to their siblings and to controls; (2) to analyze the differences in individual values of parents of autistic children versus parents of normal children. Results: Out of total of 48 acupuncture points present on ten fingertips of both hands and associated to organs/organ systems, autistic children differed significantly from controls (p < 0.05) in 36 (images without filter) and 12 (images with filter), siblings differed significantly from controls (p < 0.05) in 12 (images without filter) and seven (images with filter), autistic children differed significantly (p < 0.05) from siblings in eight (images without filter) and one (images with filter), fathers of autistic children differed significantly (p < 0.05) from controls in 14 (images without filter) and three (images with filter) and mothers of autistic children differed significantly (p < 0.05) from controls in five (images without filter) and nine (images with filter) acupuncture points. Conclusions: All compared groups have shown significant difference on both psycho-emotional (images without filter) and physiological (images with filter) levels. However, the differences between autistic children and controls expressed on psycho-emotional level were the most significant as compared to the other groups. Therefore, the activity of the sympathetic autonomic nervous system is significantly altered in children with autism. The biometric method based on GDV is a promising step in autism research that may lead towards creating a disease profile and identify unique signature/biomarker for autism. Further work should involve more participants in order to augment our findings.

Objective Evaluation of elite athletes’ psycho-physiological condition at various stages of preparation and in international competition. Design Athletes were tested during training and participation in international competition using methods of galvanic skin response (GSR) and gas discharge visualization (GDV). Setting Saint Petersburg Federal Research Institute of Physical Culture and Sport, Russia and Paralympic athletic training camp, Norway. Participants Eighteen athletes from Russia’s Skiing and Biathlon Paralympic Team. All athletes had some level of damage to their musculoskeletal system. Main outcome measures Stress level (SL), energy potential (EP), and psycho-emotional tension (PET). Results It was found that the higher the level of EP achieved by the athlete in the training period, the lower the SL in the competition time. The SL of an athlete recorded in the training period significantly correlates with the SL both before and at the time of competition. The PET and SL before the World Cup was negatively correlated to the results of skiing competitions. Conclusion Evaluation of PET, EP, and SL through GSR and GDV offers a fast, highly precise, non-invasive method to assess an athlete’s level of readiness during both training and at the time of competition., Video abstract

U radu je razmatrana mogućnost suvremene primjene «Kirlianovog efekta» u medicinskoj dijagnostici. Dijagnostička metoda koja bi se temeljila na spomenutom efektu bi bila izuzetno brza i izuzetno jeftina što spomenuti efekt čini vrlo privlačnim za korištenje u medicinske svrhe. Na početku rada su opisana fizikalna načela izboja u plinovima, koja su zatim povezana sa fizikalnim zbivanjima koja se odvijaju u metodi «Vizualizacije izboja u plinu» (VIP) što je zbirni naziv za sve suvremene tehnike koje se temelje na «Kirlianovom efektu». U nastavku su opisani temeljni uvjeti koje je potrebno ispuniti za uspješno izvođenje metode. Također su opisane i teorijske osnove na kojima leže zaključci o povezanosti slike izboja u plinu (slike VIP) sa stanjem ispitivanog objekta, te su opisani parametri koji se prate u metodi VIP da bi se na temelju njih dobili podaci o stanju ispitivanog objekta. Kraj teorijskog dijela kratko opisuje do sada provedene znanstvene radove, obećavajućih rezultata, koji su ispitivali dijagnostičke mogućnosti metode VIP. Metodu «Vizualizacije izboja u plinu» moguće je primijeniti u medicini na više načina, ispitujući različite objekte, npr. snimanjem slika VIP prstiju, snimanjem slika VIP tjelesnih tekućina, itd. Iako su rezultati znanstvenih radova u kojima su ispitivani načini primjene metode VIP u medicinskoj dijagnostici obećavajući, njihov broj je, s obzirom da je metoda novijeg datuma, razmjerno malen. Iz tog razloga će konačna ocjena o primjeni metode i načinu primjene metode moći biti donešena tek nakon istraživanja na većem broju uzoraka, tj. nakon stvaranja baza podataka slika VIP, koje će biti povezane sa dijagnozama i biti podvrgnute ozbiljnoj, znanstveno obrazloženoj obradi te analizi povezanosti parametara slika VIP s dijagnozama. Praktični dio rada je bio usmjeren na provjeru utjecaja nekih temeljnih čimbenika, koji su prisutni u procesu nastajanja slike VIP, na parametre slike VIP. Rezultati praktičnog dijela rada potvrđuju navode iz teorijskog dijela rada da je za postizanje što manjeg odstupanja rezultata potrebno, za svaku pojedinu vrstu ispitivanog objekta, postaviti specifične uvijete snimanja slika VIP i pratiti specifične parametre slika VIP. Rezultati također pokazuju da je metoda VIP osjetljiva na promjene u površini ispitivanog živog objekta (kože prsta) i da je uz pomoć metode VIP, kao što to pokazuje i znanstveni rad opisan u teorijskom dijelu rada, moguće uspoređivati koncentracije elektrolita u otopinama. This thesis evaluates the possibility of application of the «Kirlian effect» in contemporary medical diagnostics. Diagnostic method based on this effect would be extremely fast and efficient, which makes the effect very interesting for medical usage. The beginning of the thesis explains physical principles of gas discharge, which are linked with physical occurrences that take place in the method of «Gas Discharge Visualisation» (GDV) which is a common name for all the contemporary techniques based on the «Kirlian effect». Following is the description of the basic conditions, which need to be fulfilled to perform the method successfully. Along with that, there is a description of theoretical foundations, of the conclusions regarding the connection of the picture of gas discharge (GDV image) and the condition of the object in question, as well as the parameters measured in the method to determine the condition of the object. The end of the theoretical part describes scientific works conducted so far, and the promising results of the examination of the GDV method in service of medical diagnostics. The method «Gas Discharge Visualisation» is applicable in medicine in a number of ways examining various objects by taking GDV images of, for example: fingers, body fluids, etc. Although the results of scientific work regarding the application of the GDV method in medical diagnostics are promising, the number of such scientific works is considerably low, taken into consideration that it is a rather recent method. For that reason the final judgement considering applicability of the method and the ways of applying it will only be possible after more extensive research on a larger number of examples and after making a GDV image data bases linked with diagnostics and subjected to really systematic scientific analysis of the link between the parameters of the GDV images and diagnoses. The practical part of the thesis is directed towards checking the influence of some of the fundamental factors that are present at the moment of taking the GDV image, to the parameters of the GDV image. The results of the practical part confirm the claims from the theoretical part that state that for achieving more precise results, the conditions for taking GDV image have to be customised to fit the object. The results also show that GDV method is sensitive to the changes in the surface of the object in question (finger skin) and that GDV method, as the scientific work described in the theoretical part shows, can be used to measure the concentrations of electrolytes in solutions.
