[Duration-optimized therapeutic and preventive treatment courses for mining workers with the use of natural and preformed factors. Guidelines for physicians].

This manual for physicians describes a system for the treatment of primary and secondary vibration disease in mining workers optimized for the duration of therapy including the application of preformed and natural factors. The efficacy of the proposed complex of therapeutic and preventive measures in this category of patients has been estimated based on the results of retrospective and prospective studies.

[Pulsed low-frequency electrotherapy of vibration disease associated with osteoarthrosis].

The study involving 185 patients with vibration disease and concomitant osteoarthrosis has demonstrated the positive influence of pulsed low-frequency currents in combination with hydrogen sulphide baths on the clinical course of the disease. This combined therapy produced good immediate and late post-treatment results. The data obtained suggest high efficiency of differential application of complex-modulated pulsed and fluctuating currents in patients with vibration disease.

[Systemic approach to organization of prevention and treatment of vibration disease].

Results of follow-up in 2012 miners including vibration disease sufferers proved efficiency of systematic approach to prevention and treatment management in those patients--lower morbidity and economic losses prevention were seen.

[Chronopathology and chronotherapy of chronic pancreatitis].

Circadian rhythms of cardiovascular system vegetative provision, indices of rheohepatography and pancreas exocrine function of 417 patients with chronic pancreatitis were studied. Signs of desynchronosis were registered in more than one third of the cases. Presence of vibration disease leads to escalation of negative processes of desynchronosis.
