[Change in hemograms as a predictor for developing hematologic diseases in liquidators of the accident at Chernobyl Atomic Energy Station, also having hemocirculatory disorders].

A comparative analysis was performed of hemogrammes in 134 liquidators of the Chernobyl accident with hemocirculatory disorders, in 69 non-irradiated patients presenting with like processes, in 18 patients with chronic lymphoid leukosis, and in 32 healthy subjects to determine the degree of risk for development of hematologic diseases. The risk was at its highest for thrombocytopenia and neutropenia which are laboratory signs of chronic lymphoid leukosis. The incidence of thrombocytopenia in the irradiated subjects is 4.

[Comparative clinical pathology of encephalopathy with circulatory dysfunction in those who participated in the clean-up after the Chernobyl accident and in non-irradiated patients].

A comparison was done of incidence and degree of main symptoms and syndromes of dyscirculatory encephalopathy (DE) in liquidators of the aftermath of the Chernobyl accident and in those patients who have not come to be exposed to radiation. Established in the study were statistically significant differences suggesting that in liquidators injuries in the hypothalamic, truncal and cochlear zones of the brain occur 2 to 4 times as frequently as in unexposed patients. The incidence of the most severe variants of a third-degree DE comes up to 19.

[The possibilities for preventive diagnosis and nondrug treatment in drug allergy].

The paper is dedicated to the matter of topical interest--that of diagnosing allergic reactions during the preclinical stage and of potentialities of clearing away adverse reactions to drugs without employment of medicinal agents. A characteristic feature of the paper is an original approach based on the authors' method. Reflected in the table are observations of the authors in respect of six entities versus analogous diagnosis without allergy and essentially healthy subjects--blood donors.
