[The temporary loss of work capacity in workers in the hot shops of the metallurgical industry due to diseases of the circulatory organs]. / Vremennaia netrudosposobnost' rabochikh goriachikh tsekhov metallurgicheskoi promyshlennosti, obuslovlennaia bolezniami organov krovoobrashcheniia.

It was established that morbidity with temporary loss of working capacity due to diseases of the circulatory organs showed a tendency towards increase among workers of modern hot shops of the blast furnace, steel-smelting furnace, converter and the steel rolling industry. Most frequent in these category of workers was incidence of ischemic heart disease, hypertensive disease and hemorrhoid. The incidence varied among different professions enumerated above and depended also on the age, working conditions. The nosological entities varied as well.

[Digestive organ diseases in workers in contact with trinitrotoluene]. / Bolezni organov pishchevareniia u rabochikh, kontaktiruiushchikh s trinitrotoluolom.

The authors analyze the morbidity with temporary loss of working capacity due to diseases of the digestive organs in workers realizing technological explosions in the ore-mining and processing industry. The etiological role is shown of trinitrotoluene in the formation of really high levels of morbidity of the digestive organs.

[Bronchoscopic diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in miners]. / Bronkhoskopicheskaia diagnostika tuberkuleza legkikh u gornorabochikh.

Two hundred and thirty nine records of bronchoscopic examination of miners from iron ore mines, including 114 patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis were studied and the frequency of specific and nonspecific endobronchitis and functional, anatomical and hemocirculatory disorders was determined. Qualitative estimation of the endoscopic symptoms and computer-assisted analysis enabled one to validate the direct and probabilistic bronchoscopically evident signs of active tuberculosis. The data on the mature, frequency and diagnostic value of some endoscopic signs should be considered in differentiation of tuberculosis in miners (without pneumoconiosis).
