The article covers analysis of regional occupational pathology service designed for primary medical and sanitary care for workers and specialized care in occupational pathology center. The authors proved cooperation between occupational pathology center and Occupational Pathology department of the Medical University to be optimal.

[Evidence-based medicine as a fundamental principle of health care management for workers].

Evidence-based principles in occupational medicine should include prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. Specific feature of occupational medicine is necessity to prove cause-effect relationships between occupational factor and the disease emerged. Important place is occupied by cohort and intervention studies, systematic reviews and meta-analysis.

[Substantiation of approaches to implementation of anti-smoking program in industrial enterprise].

The article deals with prevention of chronic obstructive lung disease in industrial workers. The authors analysed prevalence of smoking and tobacco addiction degree on four enterprises of Tatarstan Republic. Share of smokers with moderate and high degree of tobacco addiction among the workers appeared high.

[Endemic and biogeochemical characteristics of the territory of Chuvash Republic].

The study of endemic and biogeochemical features of the territory of Chuvash Republic showed that dietary patterns of the local population reflect specific environmental factors including selenium, manganese, and iron deficiency. Calcium deficit is mainly due to poorly balanced nutrition.

[The social hygienic factors of the prevalence of children's breast feeding].

The study of the impact of family social hygienic factors on the breast feeding process was carried out on the basis of the sociological survey of 394 women of fertilization age from the "Kazanorgsintez" staff. The influence on the breast feeding duration of such factors as the family structure, the living conditions, the family income level is revealed. The ensued characteristics of breast feeding resulted from the impact of the practice of breast feeding developed in families.

The history of Kazan neurological school.

The historical prerequisites for the foundation and teaching of neurology at Kazan University are described; the relationship between the history of Kazan Imperial University Kazan medical university and neurology school is shown. Brief biographies of outstanding representatives of Kazan Neuroscience (D.P.

[Use of indicators for comprehensive assessment of life quality].

The paper presents a procedure for quantitative sociomedical and hygienic assessment of the quality of life. Several combinations of factors that have the greatest influence on the quality of life and human health: medicodemographic indices; the prevalence and incidence rates of all classes of diseases in different age population groups; health care quality; socioeconomic conditions; natural, climatic, and sanitary conditions; quality of the population's nutrition; sociological assessment of living conditions. Based on the performed study, the indicators were estimated by each combination of factors.

[Specific features of cardiorespiratory system in patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis].

A hundred thirty eight patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis were examined for the status of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. There is a trend for external respiratory parameters to decrease as the X-ray stage increases (by 30-50% in Stage IV). The revealed cardiovascular changes in patients with different X-ray stages did not differ significantly and there was no clear correlation with the activity of a process and external respiratory parameters.

[Effects of work at video displays on the state of the nervous system].

Videodisplay users were compared with reference group in nervous system state, length of service (under 5 years, 5-10 years, 10 years and more) during prospective observation. The comparison demonstrated reliably high and occupationally induced risk of vegetative dysfunctions. The authors defined correlation of the risk with exposure to 2-400 kHz magnetic fields.

[Laser therapy of duodenal ulcers: effect on indices of microcirculation, cell membrane permeability and homeostasis of trace elements].

Aim: To study the efficiency of including laser therapy (LT) in the duodenal ulcer (DU) treatment complex.

Materials, Methods: 123 patients with duodenal ulcer were examined. LT was included in the therapy complex for 89 of them.

[Comparative evaluation of effects of various bronchodilators in sarcoidosis].

[Change in hormonal regulation in experimental adrenaline stomach ulcer].

The activation or inhibition of the activity of various hormone subsystems depending on the phase of the ulcerative process was shown in experiments on rats with adrenal ulcers. The early (catabolic) phase of the ulcerative process develops against the background of the pituitary-adrenal system pituitary-adrenal with an increase of the outlet of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and glucocorticoids. In the early period of ulcer formation a suppression of the gonadotropic system activity was observed with an abrupt decrease of the level of sex hormones, especially estradiol, during the whole period of adrenal ulcers existence.

[Parameters of membrane permeability, microcirculation, external respiration, and trace element levels in the drug-laser treatment of pneumonia].

Aim: To study effects of laser therapy in combined treatment of pneumonia on external respiration function, membrane permeability, microcirculation and serum trace elements.

Material And Methods: 142 pneumonia patients were randomly divided into two groups: 96 patients treated with drugs and laser radiation (the study group) and 46 patients treated with drugs only (control group).

Results: In the study group there was more pronounced reduction in cell membrane permeability, a rise in concentrations of iron and chromium in the blood serum, improvement of microcirculation.
