The analysis of occupational diseases of the respiratory system in the Republic of Tatarstan. The most common respiratory diseases are detected with experience of more than 20 years (81%). In 77% of cases, the first identified occupational diseases in 2018 were accompanied by persistent disability. Due to the formation of persistent violations of respiratory function in 30-40% of patients for a number of years there is no dynamics in the re-medical and social examination.

Introduction. In the structure of occupational diseases of medical workers, respiratory pathology occupies a leading place, accounting for 60% in the Republic of Tatarstan. The most common are diseases from exposure to infectious agents in the form of various forms of respiratory tuberculosis. Most often, an infiltrative form is diagnosed, accompanied in 48.6% of cases by bacilli discharge.The aim of the study is to explore the structure of occupational respiratory diseases in workers of the healthcare industry of the Republic of Tatarstan, to identify factors that affect their early diagnosis during medical examinations.Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of cases of occupational respiratory diseases in health care workers according to the office of Rospotrebnadzor of the Republic of Tatarstan and the register of patients of the Republican Center of Occupational Pathology.Results. In the structure of occupational diseases of the respiratory system, the leading place is occupied by pulmonary tuberculosis, amounting to 86%, followed by bronchial asthma–8%, chronic toxic bronchitis–4% and subatrophic rhinopharyngolaryngitis–2%. Analysis of cases of occupational respiratory pathology showed that only tuberculosis was detected during periodic medical examinations. Other respiratory diseases were diagnosed by applying for medical care, when there was a pronounced negative trend and when the disease was initially associated with the profession, we had to talk about sending it to the Bureau of medical and social expertise.Conclusions. Early diagnosis of occupational respiratory diseases of allergic etiology and toxic respiratory lesions in medical workers at periodic medical examinations can be achieved by the quality of a special assessment of working conditions due to the mandatory assessment of the chemical factor-contact with allergens, antitumor drugs, hormones, enzymes of microbial origin, narcotic analgesics, regardless of the concentration of harmful substances in the air of the working area. It is also necessary to take into account the presence of substances with an acute irritant effect.

Introduction. Industrial aerosols remain one of the main sources of development of occupational respiratory diseases of allergic etiology, leading to the early and permanent disability of qualified industrial workers. Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of the prevalence of occupational diseases of the respiratory tract from exposure to industrial aerosols according to statistical records and the first time established occupational diseases registration logs in the clinic for the period from 2008 to 2017 was carried out. Results. According to the analysis of occupational respiratory diseases in the Republic of Bashkortostan and the sanitary and hygienic characteristics of working conditions, the development of occupational allergic diseases of the respiratory organs was established in 54% of cases to be associated with exposure to aerosols of complex chemical composition exceeding the maximum permissible concentrations. Discussion. The working conditions of employees in a number of industries are characterized by the predominant effect of industrial aerosols of complex composition influenced the formation of occupational allergic diseases of the respiratory system. Adverse microclimatic conditions at the workplace in combination with a chemical factor are aggravating factors. The largest number of cases of occupational respiratory diseases is registered in the manufacturing sectors of the economy, mining companies, and the construction industry. Conclusion. Based on the studies conducted, measures have been developed to reduce the levels of exposure to industrial aerosols and to maintain workers’ health.

We analyzed the morbidity of chronic diseases of the employees of the Republican Bureau of Forensic Medicine of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan (RBFM MH RT) during 2016-2017. In the structure of employee morbidity during 2017–2018 the list of diseases is distributed by decreasing: diseases of the eye and its adnexa, the circulatory system diseases, the genitourinary system diseases, the nervous system diseases, respiratory diseases. Based on the research results there is a need to revise activity that focus on the prevention of occupational diseases to measures that promote to a strong commitment of health promotion and spreading the healthy lifestyle among employees.

Significance. Occupational morbidity is an important component among other indicators used in assessing health of employees. Studying dynamics in this indicator over several years makes it possible to identify specifics of prevalence of occupational diseases within certain territories. Purpose. To identify dynamics in the structure of occupational morbidity in the Republic of Bashkortostan during 2000-2019 on the basis of the medical and statistical analysis. Material and methods. The authors have analyzed 2,561 cases in the Register of occupational diseases to develop their medical and statistical profile. Results. The study found out that the Register of individuals with occupational diseases included 61.8% of males, 60.4% of urban residents with people aged 50-59 and 40-49 prevailing (52.4% and 33.4%, respectively). 3.8% of people in the Register had a 5-year exposure to occupational hazards, 10.6% - a 5 to 10-year exposure to occupational hazards, 15.3% - a 10 to 14-year exposure and about 20% of people had more years of exposure to occupational hazards. In dynamics, there was an increase in the share of males and people aged 50-59 with more than a 25-year exposure to occupational hazards. Determining causes of occupational diseases made it possible to identify that diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue accounted for one third of the occupational disease causes, diseases of the respiratory system accounted for one-fifth, injury, poisoning and consequences of other external exposure accounted for one sixth, while diseases of the nervous system and other diseases accounted for one tenth of all causes of occupational diseases. In dynamics, there was an increase in the share of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and decrease in the share of respiratory diseases. In the structure of diseases, radiculopathy prevailed (20.2%) followed by vibration disease (13.2%). Vibroacoustic factor (28.9%), chemical factor (24.1%), severity and intensity of the labor process (22.9%) are the leading factors in the structure of the working environment and labor process. In 2014-2019, there was an increase in the share of factors of the labor process (severity and intensity).

Introduction. Th e high level of professional and production-related pathology among workers of the coal industry, as well as the frequent development of their combined pathology with an unfavorable prognosis determine the relevance of studying the prevalence of somatic pathology in miners with occupational diseases of the respiratory system.The aim of the study was to explore the prevalence of internal organs pathology in coal industry workers with occupational lung diseases (anthracosilicosis, chronic dust bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).Materials and methods. 788 store miners and shaft  sinkers with previously diagnosed occupational respiratory diseases (anthracosilicosis, chronic dust bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and 161 miners, working for a long time in harmful labour conditions and having no occupational pathology (the control group) were examined.Results. It was revealed that the workers of the coal industry with occupational diseases of the respiratory system pathology of internal organs occurs more often than the workers of the control group, including: diseases of the cardiovascular system (hypertension, angina pectoris I and II functional classes), diseases of the digestive system (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and chronic pancreatitis), kidney disease (chronic pyelonephritis), as well as a combination of several somatic diseases.Conclusions. In miners with occupational diseases of the respiratory system more oft en than in the control group, there is a pathology of the internal organs: diseases of the cardiovascular system, digestive organs, kidneys, as well as a combination of several somatic diseases. Th e data obtained should be considered during periodic medical examinations and medical examinations for the development of timely therapeutic and preventive and rehabilitation measures.
