A computer aided venous occlusion plethysmography.

A computer aided set of equipment for impedance plethysmographic research has been presented. A simple linear model of blood circulation in a limb has been used. A comparative analysis of blood circulation parameters in lower extremities has been carried out manually as well as calculated automatically. Parameters such as the limb blood flow Qo, the tissue blood flow qo, maximum volume change (venous capacitance, VC), the venous outflow time constant Tv and the venous outflow index were automatically and traditionally calculated on the basis of curve lines recorded on thermal recorder. A high linear correlation has been observed between parameters calculated manually and with computer-aided techniques. The results obtained confirm the usefulness of the linear model of blood circulation in a limb for pressures occurring under the conditions of vein occlusion.

[Early detection of diseases of the circulatory system in vocational school students with particular reference to the prevention of coronary disease and arterial hypertension].

A group of 201 boys of vocational schools living in an area of developing industry (Bełchatów) and another area of developed industry (Lódź) were examined twice: at the age of 16-17 (I examination) and 14-18 months later (II examination). Incomplete right bundle-branch block and intraventricular conduction impairment have been demonstrated mainly in the resting ECG tracings (Table I). The risk factors of coronary heart disease were increasing with age, especially in boys of Bełchatów area (Table II). Five boys with risk factors of coronary heart disease exhibited ischaemic type of postexertional ST segment changes (Table III).

[Health status of the students of elementary mining and power engineering schools with special reference to arteriosclerosis and coronary disease risk factors].

The investigations were aimed at an evaluation of the health status of mining-and-power engineering school pupils from the viewpoint of classification to work at a strip mine and power station. Special attention was paid to the detection of possible causes of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease 811 boys aged 14--20 were examined. Their physical development was good. No pathologies in the respiratory tract were found. Hands force was normal. Of six analysed risk factors most frequent were: hypertension and smoking habit. The percentage of pupils affected was increasing with age: arterial hypertension (from 5.5% to 15.7%) and smoking habit (from 6.1% to 43.3%).

[Physical development and health status of students of the Vocational Mining School in Belchatów].

The paper was aimed at an evaluation of the physical development and health status of pupils of Vocational Mining School -- the future workers of the Brown Coal Mine and Power Station in Belchatów. The study covered 257 pupils aged 15 -- 19. The studies indicated that the physical development of the pupils examined is correct. In some of them the following deviations have been found: arterial hypertension, dental caries, decreased acuity of vision. In most cases the muscular force has been lowered. On the other hand, no pathologies of the respiratory system have been found.
