[Characteristic of the normal values of the pain threshold values in the dorsal region of the young women obtained by the pressure algometry method under different condition].

Unlabelled: The application of modern techniques for different types of massage and manual therapy is associated with the exposure of the paravetrebral points. The knowledge of pain threshold values at these points is of great practical significance.

Aim: The objective of the present study was to obtain the statistical characteristics of the individual pressure pain threshold (PPT) for the healthy women and patients presenting with minor disturbances of spinal motion segments (SMS) at the trigger points on the back.

[EVALUATION OF THE LIFE QUALITY OF SPECIALISTS IN THE SOCIAL WORK WITH THE USEOF THE SF-36 QUESTIONNAIRE].

In the article there are presented results of the analysis of the life quality of social workers in the relation with the impact of risk factors of the professional environment. There was investigated the profile of the life quality of managers and specialists of departments of social protection of the population with different levels of working capacity, there were revealed main areas of their life troubles: state of the physical and mental health, social functioning and others. There are considered quantitative characteristics of physical, emotional and social component of life quality of examined persons, and also there are reported results of psychophysiological examinations of the functional state of the central nervous system and the working capacity level of specialists.

[Early and Delayed Effects of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields on the Reproductive Function and Functional Status of the Offspring of Experimental Animals].

The aim of our experimental research was to study the impact of radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) on the reproductive function of male and female mice of CBA in 2 models of exposure, as well as on the morphofunctional state of progeny of irradiated animals. It was found that RF EMF under conditions of repeated short-term exposures (within 5 days for 10 minutes at PES 1.2 mW/cm2) affects the course of pregnancy in female mice, the number of litters, fertility and preservation of offspring, morphometric characteristics of the offspring of experimental animals at different models of irradiation (exposure of animals to RF EMF prior to mating and during pregnancy).

[Some regularities in the behavior of radionuclides in water of the lakes situated on the East-Urals Radioactive Trace].

The paper presents the summary and the analysis of the results from a long-term monitoring of 90Sr specific activity in water of the lentic lakes Uruskul, L. Ighish, Kuyanysh and Travyanoye situated in Chelyabinsk Oblast on the East-Urals Radioactive Trace which was formed due to the 1957 accident at the Mayak PA. The data of measurements conducted over a 50-year period were approximated based on a function representing a sum of two (or three) exponents.

[Compensation mechanisms in hemopoietic stem cell pool (CFUs) under the conditions of experimental chronic gamma-irradiation].

The kinetics, proliferation and differentiation potentials of hemopoietic stem cells (CFUs) of bone marrow and spleen were investigated in CBA-line mice in the early period (1-30 days) of chronic gamma-irradiation at a dose rate of 0.16 Gy/day to attain a cumulative dose of 4.8 Gy.
