Ll. Klimenko et al., Activity of autoimmune process in systemic rheumatic diseases and distribution of the constant brain potential, BIOFIZIKA, 44(2), 1999, pp. 368-371
The data obtained upon examination of patients with systemic rheumatic dise
ases were analyzed by the methods of multiple regression and step-by-step d
iscriminant analysis. Is was shown that the activity of-autoimmune process
correlates: with the parameters of distribution of constant potential level
in the brain of each patient, irrespective of diagnosis. The scatter of po
tential values was the most important predictor of activity. An increase in
the activity of the autoimmune process correlated with a decrease in the s
catter of potential values at recording points; the cerebral cortex became
equipotential.
