[The adaptive capacities of the cardiovascular system in miners exposed to vibration].

Diagnostics criteria for work-related adaptation disorders in respect of cardiovascular system factors have been developed; the stages of disadaptation have been characterized through the example of vibration exposed miners working under the conditions of cool microclimate.

[Medical technologies for prophylaxis and health preservation for workers, within realization of national projects].

The authors present principles underlying development of technologies for prevention and rehabilitation of occupational diseases. Those technologies prevent occupational diseases in workers exposed to occupational hazards, reduce hospital stays, disablement duration and increase remission.

[Parameters of diurnal blood pressure monitoring in patients with occupational respiratory diseases].

Based on analysis of diurnal blood pressure monitoring in patients with occupational respiratory diseases, the authors concluded that progressive disorders of bronchial patency are associated with higher mean systolic and diastolic pressure during day and night. There is definite relationship between more severe bronchial obstruction in the examinees and pathologic types of diurnal variations in blood pressure.

[Prevention therapy of occupationally conditioned maladaptions in workers]. / Preventivnaia terapiia proizvodstvenno obuslovlennykh dizadaptozov u rabotaiushchego naseleniia.

Medical examinations of workers with long length of service and subsequent biorhythmologic research revealed increased disorders in structure of temporal coordination of physiologic functions. Efficiency of suggested variants of correction therapy is supported by long working experience of sanatoriums and preventoriums.

[The investigation of adaptation processes in sheet metal workers]. / Izuchenie protsessov adaptatsii u rabochikh-metallurgov.

The study covered 100 individuals long working in hot metallurgic shops (forging and nonferrous metals processing) under unfavorable occupational conditions. Heating microclimate appeared to be leading occupational hazard. Adaptation to occupational environment was studied in all the examinees and 4 groups were defined according to the adaptation level and functional state of cardiovascular system. The study also included testing of psychiatric balneologic complex--bromide and iodine baths with magnetic laser therapy on Zakharyin-Ged zones.

[The role of physical balneological factors in the treatment of occupational diseases]. / Rol' fiziobal'neofaktorov v lechenii nekotorykh professional'nykh zabolevanii.

The authors review the results obtained in the treatment of some occupational diseases using physical factors. In osteoarthritis patients exposed to fluorine compounds good results were achieved at employment of decimeter-wave therapy combined with mud applications or sulfurated hydrogen baths. Patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis benefited from combination of EHF therapy with alternating magnetic field. Initial lead intoxication was effectively treated with magnetotherapy. Subjects with vascular pathology occupationally exposed to high temperature responded to magnetolaser impact on reflexogenic regions of the heart.

[Bromide-iodide baths and magnetic-laser radiation in the correction of disorders of hemodynamics and of the adaptation processes in metallurgical workers]. / Bromiodnye vanny i magnitolazernoe izluchenie v korrektsii narushenii gemodinamiki i protsessov adaptatsii u rabochikh-metallurgov.

Positive changes in cardiovascular function and extracardiac regulation of cardiac rhythm in response to treatment by chloride-sodium bromine-iodine baths combined with magnetolaser radiation of the Zakhar'in-Ged zones suggest the conclusion on adaptogenic effects of the above physiobalneotherapeutic complex. The highest effect of magnetolaser therapy and bromine-iodine baths in metallurgists with adaptive disorders is achieved in early morning hours.

[The role of chronotherapy in optimizing the treatment of patients living under ecologically adverse conditions]. / Rol' khronoterapii v optimizatsii lecheniia bol'nykh, prozhivaiushchikh v ékologicheski neblagopriiatnykh usloviiakh.

The problem of chronobiological optimisation deserves special attention of medical specialists as promising in chronotherapy and chronopharmacology. Its solution requires much effort and adequate methodological approaches.
