ABSTRACT
Adding complex clinical assessment of cardio-vascular functional capacity to diagnostic workup program for individuals having long-term effects of acute sarin and soman poisonings enables simultaneous characteristic of various hemodynamic changes and their relationships, early diagnosis of hemodynamic disorders, opportune diagnosis of clinical cardiovascular syndromes.

Examination of 953 workers exposed to low concentrations of chlorbenzene, tricresol and dimethylfonnamid revealed such functional neural disorders as cardiovascular neurosis. Chlorbenzene and tricresol resulted in hypertonic cardiovascular neurosis, dimethylformamid--in hypotonic one. Occurrence of cardiovascular neurosis grew with the longer length of service.

Due to the mathematical method of maximum probability it was established that under long-term chromium exposure possible factors of risk of changes in the workers' nervous system were as follows: hereditary and familial predisposition to allergic and vegetovascular disorders, negative Rh, the haptoglobin type 2-2 and the peculiarities of the major cerebral hemisphere functioning manifested by the decrease of sensomotor dominance. There was developed an estimating and prognostic table which made it possible to identify groups with adverse and favourable health forecast and to carry out necessary differentiated curative and preventive activities.

An in-depth neurological study covered 110 patients with opium addiction without any known history of head traumas, neuroinfections, other diseases of the central nervous system, and alcoholism. Neurological changes were observed in all cases. They developed in the first months of the use of narcotic agents, were more pronounced when home-made narcotic preparations and mixtures were employed, and were of a stable nature. The duration of the disease was correlated with the severity of neurological disorders. The main neurological syndromes characteristic of the period of chronic intoxication and the abstinence syndrome were identified.
