ABSTRACT
Observation of female health in a region having higher background radiation suggests that Chernobyl plant accident has not induced symptomatic radiation disorders, but actually altered immune system. Chances are that long-term consequences of exposure to radiation will induce higher incidence of immune-related diseases. Females residents of Moscow suburb demonstrated more favorable results of immunologic study, than those of regions exposed to radiation.

The proposed research data proved that female green-house workers were exposed to hazardous occupational factors, which resulted in neuroendocrine disorders, manifesting themselves at early pregnancy, at the stage of gestational dominant formation. Elimination of the contact with the hazardous labour conditions, with concomitant pathogenetic treatment, contributed to the restoration of the normal immune status.

A method has been elaborated for the determination of the early signs of myorelaxation and the type of neuromuscular block by the visual assessment of the eye round muscles contraction under indirect electrical stimulation. The studies performed in 38 patients on myorelaxants have shown that the onset of the eye round muscles contraction under indirect electrical stimulation corresponds mainly to the early clinical symptoms of myorelaxation. The method is recommended as an additional clinical diagnostic technique for the assessment of neuromuscular block.
