Relevance. On September 27, 2017, Russia announced the completion of disposal of chemical weapons with organophosphorus toxic substances. ahead of its international obligations. Besides men, military women also served in enterprises for disposal of these weapons.Intention. To assess the impact of occupational factors on the primary morbidity of female military personnel (n = 267) served in enterprises for disposal of chemical weapons with organophosphates in 2007-2016.Methodology. The object of the study was data on the primary morbidity of female military personnel employed in disposal of chemical weapons with organophosphates (group 1) and serving in support and service units (group 2). The results were compared with the indicators of primary morbidity of all female military personnel Armed Forces of Russia. Nosologies were correlated with the chapters of diseases by the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10).Results and Discussion. In Group 1 of female military personnel, the primary morbidity for a number of disease categories was better than in Group 2 and all the female military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces, which can be explained by careful preliminary selection before recruting, good work organization, and timely prevention of initial health disorders and rehabilitation of the functional reserves of the body. In military women of Groups 1 and 2, compared to all the female military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces, a statistically significantly higher level of primary morbidity was revealed for mental disorders and behavioral disorders (Chapter V by ICD-10). This can be explained by the cumulative effect of mental tension during disposal of chemical weapons. Of note, the above disorders were not the leading category of primary morbidity in both female military personnel working in enterprises and in all the female military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces. In female women of Group 1 compared to all the female military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces, there was a statistically significantly higher level of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (Chapter XIII by ICD-10). It can be assumed that negative memories of the likelihood of emergencies when moving weapons that require disposal create additional physical efforts and overstrain of individual muscles. It is appropriate to point out that diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue increased in female military personnel in all groups and overall in 2007-2016. In Group 1 of female military personnel, there was an increase in proportion of diseases from Chapter XIII vs certain stability of their percentage in all the female military personnel f the Russian Armed Forces.Conclusion. The results obtained showed a sufficient effectiveness of preventive and protective measures during the disposal of organophosphate weapons by female military personnel.

Chloroacetonitrile (CAN) is a by-product of chlorination of drinking water. Epidemiological studies indicate that it might present a hazard to human health. The present study was designed to investigate the potential adverse effects of intrauterine exposure to CAN on fetal body weight and development of the musculoskeletal system in mice. At gestation day 6, pregnant mice were given CAN (12.5, 25, or 50 mg/kg/day) till gestation day 18. Uteri were then examined and live fetuses were collected, weighed, and evaluated for any malformations. High doses of CAN (50 mg/kg) significantly elevated fetal anomalies and reduced fetal viability. Chloroacetonitrile at a dose of 25 mg/kg did not affect fetal viability and significantly reduced fetal body weight. Subsequent experimentation was performed using this dose level. Histological examination of fetal axial skeleton indicated that CAN resulted in delayed appearance of endochondral ossification centers, widening of the vertebrae, and destruction of the calcified zone. In addition, the skeletal muscle fibers were markedly distorted, were small in size, and were widely separated by connective tissue. Both connective tissue perimysium and endomysium were less cellular compared with control sections. The histological findings were further confirmed by assessing the morphometric changes. Ratios of calcified cartilage to non-calcified cartilage areas in both control and CAN-exposed groups were determined. Also, skeletal muscle fiber diameter of CAN-exposed fetuses was significantly decreased compared with control group. In conclusion, intrauterine exposure to low levels of CAN decreases fetal body weight and induces malformations in the musculoskeletal system in mice.

Research Question: What are the health-related problems of the aged and whydo they feel lonely? Objective: To study the health-related problems and loneliness among theelderly in different micro-environment groups. Participants: Aged persons of age 65 years andabove. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Urban and rural area of Abbottabad. Period: 1st Jan,2012 to 31st Dec, 2012. Statistical Analysis: t-test and Z-test. Results: During the study, it wasfound that out of the total 361 aged persons of Abbott bad, 311 (86.1%) persons reported one ormore health-related complaints, with an average of two illnesses. The illness was higher amongthe females (59.5%) as compared to males (40.5%). The main health-related problems weredisorders of the circulatory system (51.2%), musculoskeletal system and connective tissue(45.7%). It was also found that loneliness was prevalent more in females (72.8%) as compared tomales (65.6%). Loneliness was more prevalent among persons who lived alone (92.2%) ascompared to those who lived with their spouse (58.9%) or when husband and wife lived with thefamily (61.4%). It was higher among the widows (85.2%) and widowers (75.8%) who lived with thefamily as compared to the aged who lived with the spouse (58.9%) and the aged husband andwife who lived with the family (61.4%). Conclusions: Special geriatric services should be startedin the hospitals as the majority of the aged have one or more health-related problems. The agedpersons should be involved in social activities to avoid loneliness among them.

Maxillofacial Abnormalities

Among the reasons for patients visiting a dentist, one of the most common is the pathology of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which occurs in 25-50% of the population [2,3,4]. According to the classification of ICD-10, TMJ diseases are classified as class XII " Maxillofacial abnormalities (including malocclusion) ”and Section 6“ Temporomandibular joint diseases ”, arthropathy and arthrosis of all joints of various etiologies are also described in class XIII“ Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue ”. TMJ internal disorders are referred to in this classification by the terms “clicking jaw”, “TMJ dislocation and subluxation”.
