[The adaptive capacities of the cardiovascular system in miners exposed to vibration].

Diagnostics criteria for work-related adaptation disorders in respect of cardiovascular system factors have been developed; the stages of disadaptation have been characterized through the example of vibration exposed miners working under the conditions of cool microclimate.

[Parameters of diurnal blood pressure monitoring in patients with occupational respiratory diseases].

Based on analysis of diurnal blood pressure monitoring in patients with occupational respiratory diseases, the authors concluded that progressive disorders of bronchial patency are associated with higher mean systolic and diastolic pressure during day and night. There is definite relationship between more severe bronchial obstruction in the examinees and pathologic types of diurnal variations in blood pressure.

[Medical technologies for prophylaxis and health preservation for workers, within realization of national projects].

The authors present principles underlying development of technologies for prevention and rehabilitation of occupational diseases. Those technologies prevent occupational diseases in workers exposed to occupational hazards, reduce hospital stays, disablement duration and increase remission.

[Prevention therapy of occupationally conditioned maladaptions in workers].

Medical examinations of workers with long length of service and subsequent biorhythmologic research revealed increased disorders in structure of temporal coordination of physiologic functions. Efficiency of suggested variants of correction therapy is supported by long working experience of sanatoriums and preventoriums.

[The investigation of adaptation processes in sheet metal workers].

The study covered 100 individuals long working in hot metallurgic shops (forging and nonferrous metals processing) under unfavorable occupational conditions. Heating microclimate appeared to be leading occupational hazard. Adaptation to occupational environment was studied in all the examinees and 4 groups were defined according to the adaptation level and functional state of cardiovascular system.
