[Effectiveness of glutamate in the treatment of early manifestations of occupational fluorosis].

Efficiency of glutamic acid for therapy of early signs of occupational fluorosis was studied in workers engaged into cryolite production. The study proved that use of glutamic acid in occupational conditions prevents progressing of metabolic disorders. The results encourage recommendations to include glutamate into therapeutic and prophylactic nutrition of workers exposed to fluor compounds, into nutritive additions according to special recipe.

[The clinical manifestations of chronic exposure to a heating microclimate in metal and forge workers].

Comprehensive examination of 177 workers and screening of more than 2000 workers exposed to heating microclimate revealed the possibility of chronic overheating in some workers and provided the description of its clinical manifestations. Vasoneurosis, myocardiodystrophia and metabolic disorders are the keys to developing of the disease characterized by a rotative course.

[The clinical characteristics of the early stages of occupational fluorosis under the combined and joint action of production factors].

Over 1000 workers of hydrofluoric and cryolite enterprises and electrolysis shops of aluminium enterprises were examined. Subjects exposed to soluble hydrofluorides presented in the early stage of chronic intoxication with a variety of syndromes, that was characteristic of intoxication with poisons of general toxic action with involvement of hepatobiliary, digestive, circulatory and autonomic nervous systems. Combined exposure to fluoric compounds, heating microclimate and electromagnetic fields results in a graver involvement of the circulatory and autonomic nervous systems.
