[Influences of solar and geomagnetic activity on health status of people with various nosological forms of diseases].

Statistical analysis of correlation between heliogeophysical factors and a symptom of the various forms of diseases (based on statistical data on disease of the personnel of Irkutsk Scientific Centre, RAS) has been studied. It is shown that geomagnetic storms influence vegetative regulation of a cardiac rhythm and vascular tone. The most serious consequences of such influence can mainly be observed in the persons suffering from diseases of the cardiovascular system (consequences of myocardium attack, brain strokes, cardiac rhythm disorders); being in a condition of additional stress, mainly with vegetovascular and hypertensic crises; having mental diseases; and subject to aggravations of general diseases (chronic inflammatory diseases of gynecological, musculoskeletal, urinary excretory, bronchopulmonary systems, and systems of digestive organs).

[Correlation between the sizes of Drosophila populations and parameters of solar activity].

The relationship between the time series of the dynamics of the numbers of experimental populations of Drosophila melanogaster at the preimaginal stage and three heliogeophysical indices: Wolf numbers, the intensity of the 10.7-cm radio flux, and the Kp-index of geomagnetic activity was analyzed. Statistically significant data were obtained indicating that the dynamics of the number of the populations is related to the heliogeophysical factors, and this relationship depends on the phase of the 11-year cycle of solar activity.

[Effects of alimentary loads on water-electrode balance].

We studied the effect of isocaloric protein, fat, carbohydrate and alcoholic breakfasts on diuresis, natriuresis, kaliuresis and serum aldosterone in sixteen 22-25-year-old healthy men in the hospital where they were exposed to hydration (20 ml/kg, in interval 2 hours) and after alimentary loads (in intervals 3-4 and 5-6 hours). It was found that diuresis increased by 37.12% and 18.

[Effect of carbohydrates on arterial pressure. An experimental study].

The effect of incorporation of sugar in a diet on a level of arterial pressure in 120 rats Wistar was examined. The replacement of 50% of starch by sugar in the balanced diet with a normal content of protein and white salt did not have a profound influence on a pressor effect. However on a background of an abundant content of white salt in a diet protein and fat balanced, the incorporation of sugar in a diet resulted in additional increase of arterial pressure (+27.

[The composition of the cerebrospinal fluid in children with tuberculous meningitis with different patterns of the mycobacterial population].

Composition of the liquor with regard of mycobacterial population was investigated in 113 children with tuberculosis meningitis. The changes in the liquor were most pronounced in bacterial variant of the causative agent and were minimal in the absence of both bacterial and L-forms of M. tuberculosis.
