[Health state in Tyva guttural singers].

The article deals with results of cardiorespiratory status study in professional guttural singers. Findings are that long length of service in "hoomey" style professional guttural singers results in lower external respiration parameters and RBC saturation values. Ultrasound investigation demonstrates reliably more frequent left ventricle hypertrophy.

[Features of vegetative regulation in occupational dorsopathies].

Based on spectral analysis of heart rhythm variability, studies covered changes in vegetative regulation in patients with occupational dorsopathies of cervical and lumbar regions. Findings are that 75% of patients with occupational dorsopathies have marked vegetative disorders - insufficient activity of sympathetic nervous system and drastic dominance of parasympathetic regulatory mechanisms due to pathologic vertebrogenous influences on peripheral vegetative structures. The most informative stress testing to reveal vegetative dysfunction in patients with occupational dorsopathies is flexion test.

[The experience with the application of selective polarized chromotherapy in the clinical practice].

A series of investigations have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, analgesic, and vegetocorrective effects of extraocular selective polarized chromotherapy using blue and red light and the possibility to optimize autonomous regulation with the help of this technique. The results of the study confirmed the high clinical effectiveness and safety of the method being considered for the treatment of acute respiratory diseases, chronic tonsillitis, cervical dorsopathies, and vegetative dysfunction.

[Status of the autonomic nervous system and its correction in complex treatment of patients with occupational cervical dorsopathy].

The authors studied features of vegetative regulation in patients with occupational cervical dorsopathy and specified differentiated rehabilitation programs proved to be more efficient than the conventional treatment.

[Programs for better health of individuals exposed to increased occupational risk].

The article deals with problems of optimizing sanatorium-and-spa programs to better health in workers exposed to vibration, through using panto-magnesium pearl baths. Examinations covered 49 individuals exposed to local vibration at work, who underwent health programs including magnetotherapy, manual massage and exercise therapy. The authors conclude that maximal effect of improved life quality was seen after panto-magnesium gas baths course auxiliary to the programs.
