[Diagnosis of peripheral neurovascular syndromes in miners exposed to vibration].

1337 miners of iron-ore mines in Krivoi Rog were examined. 1163 of them underwent out-patient and the rest (174 patients) in-patient examination. 28% of miners were found to have peripheral neurovascular disorders.

[The dynamics of the psychoemotional state in patients with vibration disease].

Data are presented on the formation of neuropsychic disorders in mine shaft sinkers and drill operators at different stages of vibration disease. Neuropsychic disorders in this category of workers should be considered in the treatment and expertise examination of working capacity.

[Predicting the development of vibration disease in coal miners exposed to local vibration combined with noise and dust].

The contributors proposed a differentiated diagnostic technique which included 10 most informative physiologic, anthropometric and biochemical+ indices to provide the most reliable data (95% reliability) on the adaptation and compensatory mechanisms under local vibration and in combination with noise and dust, and with due account of the individual sensitivity to local vibration. Testing of the technique demonstrated its high accuracy in determining the levels of "exhaustion", and of "the normal state" of the adaptation-compensatory mechanisms, and its applicability for vibration disease prognosis in individual++ workers, thus establishing corresponding in preventive medical examinations, occupational selection, preventive measures' planning, and in expert solutions requiring precise diagnostic techniques.
