ABSTRACT
Correlation was studied between indices for prevalence and incidence of cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) and level of radioactive contamination in the region of northern Bukovina. As far as CVD formation, prevalence, and incidence rate is concerned, long-term exposure to small doses of ionizing radiation (cesium and strontium) makes for augmentation or lowering of CVD levels depending on their form, age, and place of residence of those having become victims of the Chernobyl accident.

Variations in the cardiac activity and is attention concentration indices of a pilot have been investigated during manual flight under various conditions. It is shown that the cardiac rhythm rate and variability as well as the level of concentration reflect variations in the functional state of a pilot caused by varying working conditions and may be used to optimize the flight duty day routine, manual flying duration, in-flight work and rest time table as well as to assess the flying omission complexity.
