[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.

[The scientific support of public health institutions with the technology for the sociomedical assessment of the health of miners].

Analysis of the scientific research activities of the Donetsk Research Centre of Occupational Hygiene and Prevention of Traumatism was carried out, which offered a basis for the development of technology for medicosocial assessment of morbidity involving temporary unfitness for work, occupational morbidity, invalidism and mortality among coal miners, risk for development of nonoccupational and occupational diseases, prevalence of IHD and other non-infectious diseases, functional status of the organism according to psychophysiological indices for those going to work in the mine, as well as of the state of undue fatigue and overstrain experienced by the miners. The analysis permits the above technology to be inaugurated in the health care establishments and research institutes.

[Changes in central hemodynamics and microcirculation during laser therapy in patients with coronary insufficiency].

The study was undertaken to examine 45 patients with Stages IIB-III heart failure (HF) by the classification developed by V. Kh. Vasilenko and N.

[Evaluation of various factors influencing the disability categories in miners].

The effect of occupational factors disabling miners is more harmful in anthracitic coal mines than in bituminous ones. Received data show the influence of work conditions on the disablement of miners.

[Dynamics of myocardial function in the complex treatment of patients with heart failure using isolated ultrafiltration (polycardiographic data)].

Sixty patients with Stages IIB-III chronic heart failure were examined. The main group included 30 patients on complex therapy involving isolated ultrafiltration (IUF), the other 30 patients who refused to have IUF comprised the control group. The patients from the main group had improvement in the phasic pattern of a cardiac cycle, which was associated with enhanced myocardial contractility and performance due to decreased preload.

[Central and peripheral hemodynamics in patients with heart failure treated with isolated ultrafiltration (rheographic data)].

A total of 30 patients with Stage IIB-III (by the classification made by V. Kh. Vasilenko and N.

[Changes in fluid spaces in patients with heart failure under the effects of isolated ultrafiltration].

The study was undertaken to examine 22 patients with chronic heart failure of Stages IIB-III according to the classification developed by V. Kh. Vasilenko and N.

[Characteristics of the mycobacteria in children with tuberculous meningitis].

The article deals with the characterization of Myco. population and its qualitative changes in the course of treatment of 128 children with tuberculous meningitis. An extensive microbiological examination of the cerebrospinal fluid of all the patients was undertaken to detect the presence of bacterial and L-forms of M.

[Clinical symptoms and course of tuberculous meningitis in children: isolation of L-forms from the cerebrospinal fluid].

The paper deals with the clinical symptoms and course of childhood tuberculous meningitis which were associated with M. tuberculosis form detected in the cerebrospinal fluid. It was found that with the bacterial forms of the agent in the liquor, the disease is characterized by an acute onset and rapid development of inflammatory changes.

[Functional state of the cardiovascular system in bone fractures of the lower extremities in the middle-aged and elderly].

A dynamic electrocardiographic study and determination of main hemodynamic indices were carried out in 138 patients aged from 50 to 92 with fractures of various localization. In response to the trauma the hemodynamic indices changed considerably. A positive dynamics of revealed disorders was found only in a small number of patients in response to a complex therapy.
