PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT OF CLINICAL AND FUNCTIONAL DISORDERS OF THE BRONCHOPULMONARY SYSTEM IN THE POST-ACCIDENT PERIOD IN PERSONS EXPOSED TO IONIZING RADIATION.

The objective was to study the relationship between clinical symptoms and the functional state of the bronchopulmonary system of clean-up workers of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the remote post-accident period.Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 824 cases of COPD in male patients who underwent inpatienttreatment in the radiation pulmonology department from 2014 to 2024 was conducted.

THE COMBINATION OF CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASES WITH OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNOEA SYNDROME IN CLEAN-UP WORKERS OF CHORNOBYL NPP ACCIDENT.

Unlabelled: The objective of the study was to establish the relationship between functional status of bronchopulmonary system and obstructive sleep apnea in clean-up workers of Chornobyl NPP accident in a remote post-accident period.

Materials And Methods: We included 58 COPD male patients clean-up workers of Chornobyl NPP accident: 21 with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA), 37 - without. A complex of functional tests and OSA screening was provided.

THE BRONCHOPULMONARY SYSTEM DAMAGE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF IONIZING RADIATION EXPOSURE AND RADIONUCLIDES INHALATION IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE CHORNOBYL CATASTROPHE (SUMMARIZING OF 35 YEARS RESEARCH EXPERIENCE).

The review is devoted to the summarizing of 35 years of research of ionizing radiation exposure and radionuclidesinhalation influence on the bronchopulmonary system of clean-up workers of the Chornobyl NPP accident. Radiationand hygienic preconditions for the formation of chronic respiratory pathology are considered, taking into accountthe dosimetric data of irradiation of the bronchopulmonary system.The main clinical symptoms, features of disorders of pulmonary ventilation capacity and endoscopic forms of lesionsof the bronchopulmonary system of participants in the liquidation of the accident were determined.

LUNG FUNCTION AND TELOMERE RELATIVE LENGTH IN CLEAN-UP WORKERS OF CHORNOBYL NPP ACCIDENT IN A REMOTE POST-ACCIDENT PERIOD.

Objective: The objective was to study the relationship between functional status of bronchopulmonary system and telomere length in clean-up workers of Chornobyl NPP accident in a remote post-accident period.

Materials And Methods: A study was performed in 113 clean-up workers of Chornobyl NPP accident. Individual do- cumented doses of irradiation in clean-up workers ranged from 1,0 to 880 mSv (330.

СHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE IN THE CLEAN-UP WORKERS OF CHORNOBYL NPP ACCIDENT IN A REMOTE POST6ACCIDENT PERIOD (CLINICAL STUDY).

Objective: to study the clinical differences in the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the clean-upworkers (CW) of Chornobyl nuclear power plant (ChNPP) in the remote post-accident period (30 years after the effectof radiation exposure).

Material And Methods: 120 CW of ChNPP were examined (47 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and 73 patients without bronchopulmonary disease) and 50 patients in the control group (20 patients with COPDand 30 without bronchopulmonary disease). Individually documented radiation exposure doses of CW were (25.
