[The morphology and constitution-based criteria for the assessment of individual risk for the development of vibration disease].

The authors studied morphologic and constitutional features in individuals with various durability to vibration. Patients fragile to vibration were pectoral and indefinite somatotypes with connective tissue dysplasia and small congenital abnormalities (spondylodysplasia, venous wall deficiency. "dysplastic" heart signs and others). Patients durable to vibration were muscular and abdominal somatotypes with rare connective tissue dysplasia and small congenital abnormalities (2.5-10.2% of cases). Evaluation of morphologic and constitutional characteristics is recommended in preliminary and periodic medical examinations of workers subjected to vibration, for assessment of individual risk degree and differential medical follow-up.

[Complex system of predicting, planning and coordinating scientific research in neurology and its management].

Acceleration of scientific and technological progress calls for further improvement in the system of regulation of neurologic research in the USSR. Recently the role of the Scientific Council, Task commissions and leading institutions in shaping research policy, in active planning and coordination of research work, and in its methodological and organizational regulation has increased significantly. The most important task facing neurologists today is increase in the efficacy of investigations and the introduction of the obtained results into health practice.

[Cerebral strokes. Incidence and mortality].

The paper presents data concerning the incidence of brain strokes and the mortality rate. These indices were received for the first time on a large population by the method of brain stroke register. The frequency of brain strokes during one year equaled to 2.5 cases, the mortality rate 1 case per 1000 population. Genuine indices of the incidence and mortality rates for different age groups were established. They appeared to be relatively high in people over 60 years. The mortality coefficient is higher in females. In brain infarctions the frequency and mortality is higher than in brain and subarachnoidal hemorrhages.

[Cerebral stroke. Social consequences].

The work was based on the data obtained by the epidemiological register method. The incidence of cerebral strokes and the patients' mortality were determined. By the end of the first year after the stroke in 42.5% of patients who survived there remained pareses and paralyses. In a part of the patients the ability for walking and using transport was impaired. 38.2% of the patients needed assistance in performing one or several ADL functions, such as, dressing, food taking, washing, use of toilet and bath. 20.2% of the patients who worked before the stroke could return to their work, and 17.1% of the patients who kept house before the stroke could return to their former household activity. The patients were divided into ADL classes and classes determining the state of their labour and everday-life rehabilitation. This distribution was found to be of practical importance.

[Computer tomography of the brain in neurology].

The results of the studies, obtained in a computer head tomography confirms its effectiveness in the diagnosis of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, tumor and degenerative brain diseases, as well as in investigations of the brain ventricular systems and subarachnoidal spaces. A computer head tomography--is a perspective method in the study of brain lesions with the aid of X-ray equipment and computers.
