[Occupational stress as a factor of left ventricular myocardial remodeling in people with normal arterial pressure].

The authors studied correlations between occupational stress, caused by high tension at work, and disturbances in 24-hour arterial pressure (AP), lipid level, and left ventricular (LM) myocardial remodeling in locomotive engineers with normal AP. Two hundred and five locomotive engineers with NAP (according to 2004 classification by Russian Scientific Society of Cardiologists) aged 20 to 45 years were included in this cross-sectional study; the subjects present a whole sample of the locomotive crew of Chelyabinsk railway station. The control group consisted of III persons working eight fixed working hours a day whose work was not associated with high tension (turners and metalworkers).

[A case of primary hyperparathyroidism].

A case report of primary hyperparathyroidism with symptoms caused by hypercalcemia. Osteoporosis was detected only in thoracic spine. Test for parathormone provided a final diagnosis.

[Characteristics of urogenital and post-enterocolitis reactive arthritides].

The immune status and profile of HLA antigens of loci A and B were evaluated in 159 patients with reactive arthritis. Reactive arthritis was caused by urogenital chlamydial infection in 64.2% of cases and by Shigella, Salmonella and Yersinia enterocolitica infection in 18.

[Prospective trial of 40-59-year-old males with angina pectoris and essential hypertension (results of 30-35-year prospective studies)].

Aim: To investigate remote prognosis for patients with coronary heart disease and essential hypertension with consideration of the initial total serum cholesterol (TSC) level.

Materials And Methods: Throughout 30-35 years 103 male patients aged 40-59 years with angina pectoris and essential hypertension were examined (repeated evaluation of protein and lipid spectrum, normal resting and two-step exercise ECG). At the entry, the patients had no history of myocardial infarction (MI), cerebral thrombosis, heart failure, discirculatory encephalopathy.

[The effect of the blood serum cholesterol level on the late prognosis of stenocardia in men 40-59 years old without arterial hypertension].

Aim: To investigate effects of total cholesterol levels in the serum (TC) on angina pectoris (AP) lethality in males.

Materials And Methods: The study of 112 males aged 40-59 years with AP without myocardial infarction and blood hypertension lasted for 30-35 years. The examination included determination of lipid-protein blood spectrum, ECG at rest and exercise, other tests.
