[Experience in long-term use of berodual in the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis].

AIM: To study clinical efficiency of 12-month administration of berodual in chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The trial entered 33 patients with at least 2-year history of COB and forced expiratory volume per 1 sec (FEV1) not less than 45% of normal value. RESULTS: The best response of clinical parameters and external respiration was observed throughout 3 weeks of berodual inhalations. Dyspnea and cough were cured by the end of the treatment in 40 and 26% of the patients, respectively. Exercise tolerance has improved, FEV1 has increased for the year from 71.9 to 79.1%. CONCLUSION: Long-term berodual monotherapy is able to inhibit progression of bronchial obstruction and symptoms of COB.

[Does laser irradiation affect bronchial obstruction?].

When tested in 115 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis and bronchial asthma, low-energy laser radiation (Uzor unit) on bronchial obstruction had no direct broncholytic action. However, as a component of combined treatment, the above radiation produced a marked broncholytic effect due to its antiinflammatory action. Laser is recommended as a therapeutic modality in combined management of pulmonary obstruction.

[Modified screening of lung diseases in industrial workers].

The paper summarizes the results obtained at examination of industrial workers using a modified screening. This included questionnaires, oriented general examination, evaluation of external respiration with its monitoring during working hours. Such approach proved informative and provided a sufficient symptom complex to make diagnosis of occupational asthma.
