[Delayed medical consequences of the Chernobyl accident in Armenia. Assessment of life quality and accelerated biological aging of accident liquidators].

In this paper, some final results of 25-year investigations carried out in Scientific Centre for Radiation Medicine and Burns MH RA (SCRMB) on the Armenian cohort of the Chernobyl accident consequences liquidators are shown. These results show that health conditions of the liquidators became worse during the whole observation period. A considerable development of both pathological states atypical of radiation damages and diseases, which may be considered as radiation-induced ones, was determined.

[Dynamics of the functional status of autonomic nervous system in rats under combined radiation/thermal injury in case of an open burn wound and wound covered by the polymer film].

The peculiarities of the functional status of autonomic nervous system and physical efficiency were studied in white inbred rats under dynamics of combined radiation/thermal injury (CR/TI). The CR/TI model was obtained under total X-ray irradiation at dose level of 4.37 Gy and inflicting III degree burn injury making 12% of body surface in 24 rats.

[On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the accident on the Chernobyl NPP: medical consequences in Armenia].

The aim of this work is the analysis of the indices of the health and of the structure of the sicknesses of the inhabitants of Armenia who took part in the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident. Also it is the determination of possible dependence of the frequency of diseases for the most widespread classes of sicknesses on the received dose of the irradiation, according to the data of the clinical examination and dispensarysation; and also it is the revelation of the role of other factors influenced on the health indexes.
