[Prevention of acute respiratory platinosis].

289 respiratory platinosis cases were studied to assess the effectiveness of the preventive treatment differentiated depending on the form (immune/non-immune) and gravity (mild, moderate and severe). The treatment was performed during excessive exposition to the salts of the platinum group metals, and proved to be highly effective (76.9% in acute and 100% in light cases) for the prevention of clinical manifestations of the disease.

[Occupational selection in the prevention of respiratory platinosis].

In order to raise efficacy of primary prevention of platinosis an obsidan-based test (40 mg for internal use) was also used in vocational selection. After the obsidan-based test the decrease of pneumotachometric indicators was noted that reflected deficiency of the functional state of bronchial beta-adrenoreceptors by 6% and higher and was regarded as unfavourable. Of 110 examined persons 16 (14.5%) had significant test results. Similar deficiency was detected in 27 workers with respiratory platinosis, that fact verified the significance of beta-AR deficiency in the disease pathogenesis. The possibility of raising efficacy of primary prevention of respiratory platinosis was stressed due to the use of the additional obsidan-based test.

[Health and morbidity of children in the North].

The author's many-years' experience and the literature data on research into the health of children and adults during adaptation in the Arctic are generalised. Significant changes are demonstrated in seasonal and circadian biological rhythms, in hormone levels, immunological tests and functional parameters of oxygen transport and consumption, and permanent exhaustion of these and other functional systems. At the same time, it has been proved that in the recent twenty years, the physical and mental development of children and adolescents has been quite satisfactory and their morbidity is not higher than that of Central Siberia, while childhood mortality level is noticeably lower. A conclusion has been drawn on the possibility of reducing the adaptational tension and functional reserve exhaustion, and of children's health improvement in the Arctic by means of social protection (housing, nutrition, etc.) and rational training (body hardening, physical exercises, etc.).
