Vibration is known to adversely affect the nervous, cardiovascular and muscular systems, which feature is most liable to lead to decrement of performance. Employed in former times in dealing with the above affections was a complex medicamentous mode of treatment involving the use of vasoactive agents, sympatho- and cholinolytics, neuroplegic agents, physiotherapeutic and sanatorium-and-health resort methods, and other therapeutic modalities. There has been studied efficiency of use of electroacupuncture versus a complex medicamentous therapy in patients presenting with vibration disease.

Objectives: To assess in venous cord blood the distribution of major lymphocyte subsets according to pH and medications used during labor.
Design And Methods: Venous cord blood was sampled immediately after labor from 70 newborns (35 males and 35 females) delivered vaginally. Lymphocytes were immunophenotyped by flow cytometry and pH was measured using the AVL 900 automated blood gas analysis system.
It is envisaged that flow cytometric analysis of lymphocyte subsets in cord blood may be used as a biomarker for effects on the immune system of exposure to environmental factors. In order to investigate the possible application of this parameter, we first studied the effects of other factors that may influence the outcome of subset analysis in cord blood. FACS analysis was performed in 112 pairs of umbilical cord blood and of peripheral maternal blood sampled at labour.

To study the pathogenesis of respiratory insufficiency in a severe craniocerebral injury the authors examined 120 patients. The results showed bronchospasm, diffuse collapse of alveoli, and the occurrence of atelectasis to be the underlying factors of respiratory insufficiency in severe craniocerebral injury. The effect of analgesics, neuroplegics, barbiturates, and heliox on this condition was studied.
