The article covers treatment results of 417 patients (186 males and 231 females) aged 18 to 71 years, with borderline mental disorders. Findings are that using specified complementary methods, more when treatment complex is applied, causes better psycho-emotional state in patients with borderline mental disorders, that is supported by results of medical diagnostic tests including psychometry tests (abridged minnesota multiphasic personality inventory, Beck depression inventory, Spielberger-Hanin, test «feeling, activity, mood»).

The article covers treatment results of 90 patients with primary glaucoma simplex of stage 1 and 2 (137 eyes). The authors proved that using a specified magnetotherapy method, when compared to regular medical therapy, causes more fast and marked regression in clinical symptoms and improvement of vision in patients with primary glaucoma simplex of stages 1 and 2.

Statines are first choice medications for hypercholesterolemia and combined hyperlipidemia of varying severity in wide population of patients. Atorvastatine is one of the most effective statines. In Russia, Atorvastatine is represented by nearly twenty drugs most of which are generics. The article covers data on efficiency, safety and good tolerance of Liptonorm - a generic Atorvastatine.

The article deals with usage of nondihydropiridine calcium antagonists - verapamil and dilthiasem - in treating patients with arterial hypertension, cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia, for secondary prevention of IHD. Data also concern cardio-, angio - and nephroprotective activity of the medications, their ability to prevent left ventricle hypertrophy, possible usage in patients after myocardial infarction. The authors also discuss problems of tolerance and safety of calcium antagonists with prolonged action vs. those with short-term action.

Community-acquired pneumonia is one of prevalent infectious respiratory diseases. Adequate treatment of community-acquired pneumonia, with consideration of the disease severity and microbial resistence, remains extremely topical. The article covers contemporary views of community-acquired pneumonia treatment standards. The authors described results of personal research aimed to study antibacterial treatment for community-acquired pneumonia on outpatient basis over 2004-2012, evaluated correspondence of the treatment to the national clinical recommendations.

Observation covered 12 patients under various antitumor medications. Group 1 was formed of patients with developed palmoplantar syndrome varying in severity, who received complex treatment including IR-therapy and local antioxidant medication. Group 2 included patients without palmoplantar syndrome, who received preventive treatment with IR-therapy. All patients of group 1 demonstrated lower severity of palmoplantar syndrome manifestations. In group 2, 80% of the patients avoided palmoplantar syndrome development, and 20% of the patients had light course of the syndrome manifestations. Patients at high risk of palmoplantar syndrome under antitumor therapy are recommended to undergo IR-therapy and local antioxidant medication.

The article covers main aspects of phototherapy and photochemotherapy in treatment of skin diseases in children, risks of such methods usage, prophylactic and therapeutic measures, and precaution means for such treatment in pediatrics.

Prophylactic study among workers engaged into main production of Siberian chemical enterprise (Seversk city) revealed high frequency of cardiovascular risk factors (overweight, hypodynamia, dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension), low level of adaptational potential and integral somatic health parameter as prenosologic criteria of cardiovascular diseases. The results necessitate recommendations to supplement periodic medical examinations with studies aimed to reveal early criteria of health disorders, and determine priority directions to specify prophylactic measures in nuclear industry workers.

The authors studied relationship between occupational neurosensory deafness and risk factors in locomotive crew workers. Examination covered 173 locomotive crew workers divided into 2 groups: group 1 - with occupational neurosensory deafness (n = 85) and group 2 - without occupational neurosensory deafness (n = 88). Study covered occupational factors and calculated effective dose connected to length of service for exposure assessment.complex clinical and laboratory study was performed. For signs structure analysis, principal components method and chances ratio were used. Occupational neurosensory deafness appeared to be reliably connected with length of service, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia - with OR equals 5.7 (95% CI: 2.98-11.00), 1.88 (95% CI: 1.03-3.43) and 2.79 (95% CI: 1.5-5.18) respectively. That necessitates correction of hypertension and dyslipidemia.

The study was conducted on aircraft-building enterprise during production microcycle (before working shift start, during last working hour and in an hour after the shift end) - spectral analysis covered variability of heart rhythm in 70 male assembler riveters aged 25-59, divided into 2 groups in accordance with industrial equipment used. The group 1 used standard vibroinstrument, the group 2 - pneumoinstruments with low vibration velocity parameters. Triple study during the working shift revealed in group 2 an adequate reaction of vegetative nervous system to vibration, in group 1 a negative trend was seen with centralization of regulatory processes and absence of adequate recovery in an hour after work.

The article covers data on first in Russian Empire research works and publications on workers' health, occupation-related diseases occurrence, prevention and treatment of such diseases, prophylactic methods.

The article deals with over a hunderd years history of foundation and pregress in organization and process of mandatory preliminary and periodic medical examinations of workers exposed to hazardous work conditions.
