Abstract
The article deals with data on life and activities of major hygienic scientist of XX century Avgust Andreyevich Letavet. His sphere of scientific interests covered all aspects of occupational hygiene from industrial microclimate, occupational physiology and ergonomics, towards influence of radiation on workers' health. The authors thoroughly considered topics on scientific, educational, international and publication activities of the scientist. Attention was also paid to his role in development of national mountain climbing, his participation in many expeditions, his achievements in this sphere.

Abstract
Occupational polyneuropathies of upper limbs are the most prevelent occupational disease of peripheral nervous system, caused by physical overload and functional overstrain of upper limb muscles. The disease is characteristic for many occupational groups, and can be seen both as an independent entity and as a polyneuritic syndrome in other occupational neurologic diseases. The authors presented a review of contemporary data on diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the disease.

Abstract
The authors evaluated vertebro-neurologic and neuro-hormonal state in domestic water transport workers exposed to occupational hazards: general vibration and noise. Clinical study revealed increase in incidence and degree of dosopathies with longer length of service. Laboratory data confirm significant disorders of hormonal regulation, mostly in pituitary-adrenals system, with dysadaptational hormonal changes formation.

Abstract
The article covers data on studies of stress indurance in locomotive crew workers with stage I arterial hypertension, at workplace, on complex treatment. All the examinees were divided into 3 randomized groups: main group patients (41 individuals) received general magnetotherapy with complex treatment; reference group I patients (41 individuals) received the same treatment measures, but general magnetotherapy was on placebo method; reference group II patients (43 individuals) received the same treatment measures, but electrophoresis with 2% magnesium sulphate instead of general magnetotherapy. Findings are that general magnetotherapy in complex treatment of I stage arterial hypertension provides reliable improvement of studied parameters: blood pressure, reactivity to stress - that increases traffic safety.

Abstract
The authors designed a musical neuro-interface that combines subconscious perception of impacts, characteristic for musical therapy, with maximal personification of neurobiomanagement by EEG. Observations were normalization of EEG, lower stress sensation and positive changes in psycho-emotional state of patients. But statistically significant positive changes were seen only when music volume is controlled by feedback signals from patients' EEG.

Abstract
The article deals with results of study concerning relationships between vascular age and occupational, psycho-social factors. Finding is an association between occupational hazards and higher rigidity of vascular wall, and reliable differences between nominal age and vascular age. Vascular age is a risk factor of health disorders in workers, and can be used to specify a system of preventive measures.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract
The authors presented a scientific idea on necessity and possibility of work conditions classification by level of contamination with opportunistic pathogenetic bacteria - that enriches national scientific concept of hygienic classification of work conditions by hazard and jeopardy levels. There is an algorithm of total evaluation of work conditions at workplace, based on complex account of exposure to factors of working environment and process in totality with overall load of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria.

FOR THE PRACTICAL MEDICINE

Abstract
Observations covered 100 workers with long length of service in chemical industry, having osteoarthrosis. The data obtained helped to reveal that complex sanatorium treatment with radon, magnetotherapy and natural brine Bishofit application is healing for inflammatory reactions of osteoarthrosis. So this treatment is recommended to prevent progression of locomotory system diseases and to improve life quality in workers with long length of service in chemical industry.
