[Duration-optimized therapeutic and preventive treatment courses for mining workers with the use of natural and preformed factors. Guidelines for physicians].

This manual for physicians describes a system for the treatment of primary and secondary vibration disease in mining workers optimized for the duration of therapy including the application of preformed and natural factors. The efficacy of the proposed complex of therapeutic and preventive measures in this category of patients has been estimated based on the results of retrospective and prospective studies.

[Pulsed low-frequency electrotherapy of vibration disease associated with osteoarthrosis].

The study involving 185 patients with vibration disease and concomitant osteoarthrosis has demonstrated the positive influence of pulsed low-frequency currents in combination with hydrogen sulphide baths on the clinical course of the disease. This combined therapy produced good immediate and late post-treatment results. The data obtained suggest high efficiency of differential application of complex-modulated pulsed and fluctuating currents in patients with vibration disease. It is concluded that amplipulse therapy is the method of choice for the management of this pathology in the absence of apparatuses emitting pulsed currents in the running way regime.

[Systemic approach to organization of prevention and treatment of vibration disease].

Results of follow-up in 2012 miners including vibration disease sufferers proved efficiency of systematic approach to prevention and treatment management in those patients--lower morbidity and economic losses prevention were seen.

[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.

[Chronopathology and chronotherapy of chronic pancreatitis].

Circadian rhythms of cardiovascular system vegetative provision, indices of rheohepatography and pancreas exocrine function of 417 patients with chronic pancreatitis were studied. Signs of desynchronosis were registered in more than one third of the cases. Presence of vibration disease leads to escalation of negative processes of desynchronosis. Alternate magnetic field, electrophoresis of sodium oxybutirat and interference therapy by the method of electric sleep have a clear chronotherapeutic effect. Use of given medical technologies in their most favorable period makes possible increase the results of treatment 11.4-18.3% up on.

[Experimental base for use of low-mineral water with a high concentration of organic substances in balneological practice].

Experimental evidence on stability of chemical composition (1991-2004), toxic and skin-irritating, mitotic and mutagenic, bacterio- and fungostatic actions of low-mineral water "Salekhard" with a high concentration of organic substances justifies initiation of clinical trials of therapeutic effects of this novel balneological factor in different diseases (locomotor, nervous, cardiovascular, cutaneous, etc.).

[Primary and secondary prophylaxis of vibration disease caused by local vibration in miners]. / Pervichnaia i vtorichnaia profilaktika vibratsionnoi bolezni ot vozdeistviia lokal'noi vibratsii u gornorabochikh.

The article contains data on complex balneotherapy of vibration disease caused by local vibration in high risk group (miners exposed to vibration), that help to justify use of means for primary and secondary prevention of vibration disease.

[Drug-free management of homeostasis in patients with vibration disease]. / Nemedikamentoznye metody korrektsii gomeostaza u bol'nykh vibratsionnoi bolezn'iu.

The authors present results of homeostasis studies in 239 patients having vibration disease due to local vibration and demonstrate drugs-free correction (physio- and balneotherapy) of disorders caused by vibration. High therapeutic efficiency meant improved peripheral hemodynamics of upper limbs, coagulation parameters, lipid metabolism and lipid peroxidation.
