[Parameters of perfusion pulmonoscintigraphy and radionuclide tomoventriculography in non-massive thromboembolism of pulmonary-artery branches].

Objective: The present work was aimed at identifying the most informative parameters of perfusion pulmonoscintigraphy and radionuclide tomoventriculography in non-massive thromboembolism of the pulmonary-artery branches.

Materials And Methods: We examined a total of fifty-five patients. The Study Group was composed of 40 subjects (mean age 60.

[Clinical and morphologic characteristics of lung cancer in miners of Krivoy Rog iron-ore region and of uranium mines of Zhovti Vody].

Clinical and morphological features of cancer were observed in two groups of miners (of Krivoy Rog iron-ore and Zholty Vody uranium mines), working in hazardous labour conditions. In both of groups the disease course had typical features for lung cancer. Roentgenologic changes were observed, central cancer of left and right lung was revealed by bronchoscopy method.

[Recommendations for reducing mortality among workers of mining enterprises].

The authors elaborated measures aimed to lower mortality and higher life expectancy among workers of able-bodied age. The recommendations involve changes in technology of drift mining, improved electric safety of technologic equipment, annual analysis of mortality parameters among miners, accomplishment of prophylactic recommendations on treatment of functional cardiovascular disorders, provision of workers with pectin as a therapeutic and prophylactic nutrient.

[Occupational morbidity among the workers in enterprises for secondary ferrous metal processing and in refractory materials plants].

The authors discuss the level of professional morbidity among workers of ferrous metal processing enterprises and of refractory factories depending on the profession, age, length of work and sex. Recommendations on the reduction of professional diseases in this branch of industry are given.

[Problem of predicting occupational morbidity among workers in the iron ore mines of the Krivoĭ Rog region].

The article represents the morbidity prognosis of silicosis, dust bronchitis, cochlear neuritis, vibration disease, trinitrotoluene cataract. Only the morbidity prognosis of silicosis proved to be stable, because the objective diagnosis makes its level close to true.

[Occupational morbidity in the workers of metallurgical enterprises].

Occupational morbidity was analysed in workers of 15 metallurgical enterprises according to the enterprise profile, worker's age, sex, length of service and occupation. The analysed data are represented in the article, the measures are recommended so as to reduce the occupational morbidity.

[The causes of disability in the miners of iron ore mines].

The authors discuss primary invalidity of ore miners, the causes of invalidity with consideration of classes of diseases, profession, age, sex and length of work. Recommendations directed to reduce invalidity in ore miners are described.

[Occupational morbidity of miners engaged in the capital building of iron ore mines].

The article contains data on the 1961-1985 occupational morbidity rates in the workers engaged in the Krivbass iron-ore mines, and narrates on the morbidity rates, structure and dynamics for different professions, age-groups and duration of work. An analysis is given of the concomitant somatic diseases, along with proposals for investigating ways and means of improving technologies in non-blasting iron-ore mines.

[The relationship of concomitant and occupational diseases in workers in mining enterprises].

An analysis is presented of general (concomitant) diseases in workers of mining enterprises suffering of professional diseases. A supplementary criterion in the evaluation of professional diseases is proposed.

[Occupational morbidity of workers of the Krivbass iron ore works: ways of its reduction and prevention].

The study was designed to explore occupational morbidity levels, dynamics and structure in workers of the Krivbas ore works during 1961-1985. Workers' profession, age and length of service were taken into account. It was shown that further decrease of occupational morbidity could be achieved due to carrying out of the proposed recommendations.
