[Hygienic aspects of healthy life style development in students].

Medical students have shown a high prevalence of major behavioral factors of health risk, such as inadequate physical activity, changes in the routine, nutrition quality, study-and-rest regimens, as well as smoking and frequent alcohol use. Proposals to educate the students on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle are given.

[Morbidity rates in university students].

The current higher education modernization is accompanied by the intensification of an educational process. Due to intensive mental work and a need to adapt to new educational conditions, the students belong to a group of increased risk. Morbidity rates were studied in medical students during education.

[Hygienic aspects of the lifestyle of medical students under the present conditions].

The paper gives the results of a study of the lifestyle of medical students. The students' motor activity has been found to be lower and to continue to drop in the undergraduates. Examination of the daily routine has shown that 92% of the students break the study-and-rest routine; the reported reasons for this are a high academic load, a prolonged academic day, a study-work combination, mental stress during examinations, and computer-aided learning.

Morphological assessment of the cerebroprotective action of lanthanum acetate in chronic cerebral ischemia in rats.

The aim of the present work was to perform a morphological assessment of the cerebroprotective action of lanthanum acetate in chronic cerebral ischemia in rats. Chronic ischemia was produced in Wistar rats (weighing 160-180 g) by ligation of both common carotid arteries. Ischemic lesions were corrected by intragastric lanthanum acetate (3 mg/kg per day) throughout the experimental period.

[Diet as a factor in the formation of health and working capacity of students].

We have studied 152 students of the Dental faculty. With most of them the caloric content of their daily ration was lower than the energy spent, their body weight was also reduced. The ration of most students had a lowered protein and fat content with prevalence of carbohydrates.
