Objective: To study the mortality of the male population of working age in the industrial cities depending on the specifics of the town-forming enterprises. Materials and methods.  In three cities in the Murmansk region, where the town -forming enterprises of non-ferrous metallurgy (Monchegorsk, Kandalaksha) and the mining industry (Kirovsk) are located, the capital of the region (Murmansk), and in the country as a whole has been studied of mortality on average for 6-year period  (2000-2005) age-standardized death rates (direct method). Results. Comparative analysis of the causes and death rates in males of working age has shown that in all the studied cities of Murmansk region there were higher death rates in men of working age from diseases of the circulatory system (in 1,3–2,0 times) and diseases of the respiratory system (in 1,1–1,8 times) in comparison with Russia. In industrial cities, compared with Murmansk,  higher death rates of male population of working age from causes which etiologically are connected with harmful factors of manufacture have been registered: from cardiovascular diseases — in 1,1–1,5 times and respiratory diseases — in 1,2–1,6 times. In cities where non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises are located, concerning to cancerogenic, death rates from malignant neoplasms have been raised in 1,2–1,4 times. This happens, in particular, in Monchegorsk where Open Joint-Stock Company «Severonickel Combine» enterprise is located. Mortality from lip, oral cavity and pharynx cancer raised in 1,8 times: the localization specific at influence of nickel.

Introduction. The concepts of the epidemiological transition and types of population health are applied to analyzing and evaluating the sanitary and epidemiological status of the population. Materials and methods. For many years of mortality, the dynamics of the male population of the Irkutsk region standardized indicators were used (European age standard). For identifying trends of changing mortality rates, an analytical alignment of the time series was used. It was a linear model by EXCEL’s standard tools (Microsoft Office 2007). The significance of the trend equation was calculated using F-test in IBM SPSS Statistics 23 (p < 0,05). Results. It has been established that the formation of various types of pathology and caused by this pathology mortality occurred under the influence of factors of different nature in the process of changes in social, environmental, epidemiological situations in the region. In the 1990 th and the first half of the 2000 th, high mortality rates in the class of diseases of the circulatory system and the class of external causes of morbidity and mortality were determined mainly by psychosocial disadvantage factors. By the class of Diseases of the respiratory system, there was noted a steady decrease in mortality rate from chronic diseases of the lower respiratory tract and pneumonia. It was probably due to an increase in the level and quality of medical care. A steady tendency to increase intensive and extensive mortality rates by class of Certain infectious and parasitic diseases was seen. That was caused by negative changes in infectious and epidemic processes under the influence of man-made pollution was noted. During 2005 - 2015 the digestive system’s share of the class of Diseases in the mortality structure increased. That is due to the prevalence of alcoholic liver disease, chronic alcoholic pancreatitis, complications of the ulcer of the stomach and duodenum. Conclusion. The combination of the identified patterns of the formation of intensive and extensive mortality rates determined by exogenous and endogenous factors made it possible to characterize the situation in the Irkutsk region as a relative sanitary and epidemiological disadvantage of the population.

PurposeThis study is a mortality assessment on police officers (68-years, 1950–2018) and includes all causes of death.Design/methodology/approachThe authors investigated 1,853 police deaths (1950–2018) using sources of mortality that included the National Death Index, NY State, and available records from the Buffalo NY police department. Standardized Mortality Ratios were calculated. Death codes were obtained from 8th and 9th International Classification of Disease revisions in accordance with the year of death.FindingsCompared to the US general population, white male police officers from 1950–2018 had elevated mortality rates for some causes of death, including diseases of the circulatory system, malignant neoplasms, cirrhosis of the liver, and mental disorders. Black and female officers had lower mortality rates for all causes of death compared to the general population.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of elevated risk for chronic disease among police need to be studied in relation to stress, lifestyle, and exposure to chemical and physical agents. There is a special need to further study officers from minority populations as larger samples become available.Practical implicationsThe results of this study will provide police and occupational health practitioners with objective evidence to determine the health impact of work on law enforcement officers.Originality/valueThis study is longest running mortality assessment on police officers ever conducted (1950–2018) and includes white, black, and female officers.

Diseases of the circulatory system are the major social problem worldwide. The prevalence of these diseases, disability, mortality, temporary disablement and the need for specialized medical care contribute to medical and social significance of this pathology, for which our society incurs tangible human and economic losses. According to experts, the number of deaths from CVDs will increase due to the increase of mortality among the male population from 18.1 million in 2010 to 24.2 million in 2030. Mortality rates from CVD in the Russian Federation - one of the highest in the world.


Background. Recent decades in the Far East Federal District have been characterized by a constant increase in the number of patients with oncological pathology, in the structure of which prostate tumors are the second largest cause of mortality in men. The goal of this study was a scientific assessment of the main rates of morbidity and mortality of prostate cancer in the male population in the Far East Federal District for the last ten years (2009–2018). Material and methods. During the study, the indicators of morbidity and mortality, reporting forms of statistical registration of oncological patients and regulatory documents of higher-level organizations, information on ten-year observations of the dynamics of changes in digital indicators of the investigated pathology were used. Results of the research. The main rates of morbidity and mortality of prostate cancer patients in the Far East Federal District are given, where 33,111 new cases of malignant neoplasms were registered in 2018, that is 24,6 % higher than ten years ago (20 191 people in 2009). In Russia, such increase was 21,6 % higher. 9 324 patients, i.e. 0,12 % population of the region, were under medical supervision. The number of patients with I-II stages of the disease (60,9 %) increased during the investigated period with simultaneous reduction of the number of patients with neglected forms (38,1 %) of the disease. Morbidity and mortality rates have been increasing steadily over the past 10 years. The percentage of actively identified patients has increased, as well as the year-end accumulation index. Morphological confirmation of the diagnosis (over 95 %) did not exceed the average republican indicators (95,9 %). The proportion of patients registered for 5 years or more was lower than averagely in Russia, but mortality rates improved in the first year from the time of the initial diagnosis (2009 – 17,3 %; 2018 – 10,1 %; Russian Federation – 7,8 %). As far as the localizations in the male reproductive organs, neglected prostate cancer remains at the highest level.

Tbe circulatory system, lying in the mid-dorsal line of the body, consists of an oval heart, the opthalmic artery, and a dorsal abdominal artery.The digestive system comprises a wide, large alimentary tube and two pairs of digestive glands. An oesophagus, a proventriculus, midgut, and a short proctodacum or hindgut form the digestive tube. The digestive glands are very well developed and are beaded in form; each pair lies on either side of the alimentary canal.The reproductive organs are well developed in both sexes: in the male they consist of paired testes and their vas deferentia, and in the female paired bilobed ovaries and oviducts.A cerebral or supraoesophageal ganglion, a suboesophageal ganglion, and seven thoracic ganglia form the nervous system. The supraoesophageal ganglion is united with the suboesophageal ganglion by means of the circumoesophageal commissures, whereas the thoracic ganglia and suboesophageal ganglia are linked with each other by paired connectives.The gills and the tracheae are the organs of respiration. The gills are borne of the bases of the pleopods and are enclosed in the branchial chamber. The tracheae are located on the lateral lobes of the first two pleopods only.

In the context of the reform of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the issues of recruiting troops with healthy, physically developed and mentally stable young conscripts are of paramount importance. Only citizens "A" - fit for military service and "B" fit for military service with minor restrictions are subject to conscription. When analyzing the results of medical examination of persons of military age, it was found that over the studied period of time, fitness for military service for health reasons decreased by 3.8% (from 78.3% in 2016 to 74.5% in 2020). However, despite the general decrease in fitness for military service, there is an increase in the fitness for military service "A" by 13.5% (from 23.4% in 2016 to 36.9% in 2020). Every year, during the period of work of the draft commissions, a significant number of citizens (more than 10%) were sent for additional examination to medical organizations. As a rule, the examination of conscripts was carried out on an outpatient basis (up to 85%) and much less often in an inpatient setting (up to 15%). The first place was occupied by diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, which accounted for 24.9%. Mental and behavioral disorders ranked second with an indicator of 18.7%. The third place was taken by diseases of the circulatory system - 14.9%. Diseases of the eye and adnexa ranked fourth - 8.2%. Diseases of the digestive system were less common, accounting for only 4.5%. Thus, in total, the listed diseases accounted for 71.2% and were the main ones in determining the fitness of conscripts for military service for health reasons.

Abstract Background Neuroblastoma is a common extracranial malignant tumor in children. Its main treatment modality is a combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. Given the advances in chemotherapy regimens and the widespread use of bone marrow transplantation over the decades, there has been improvement in treatment efficacy, which has led to prolonged patient survival. Accordingly, long-term complications have become a growing concern among physicians and patients. This study aimed to analyze the survival rate of patients with neuroblastoma and the risk factors for developing second malignant neoplasms (SMNs). Methods The SEER 18 Regs (1973–2015) and SEER 9 Regs (1973–2015) data of the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database of the US National Cancer Institute were adopted for survival and SMN analysis. Results The 5-, 10-, and 20-year overall survival rates of patients with neuroblastoma were 67%, 65%, and 62%, respectively. Among 38 patients with neuroblastoma who presented with SMNs, those with abdomen as the primary site accounted for the majority (63.2%), followed by those with thorax (26.3%) and other sites (10.5%). SMNs occurred more commonly in non-specific neuroblastoma (incidence: 0.87%) than ganglioneuroblastoma (incidence: 0.3%). Compared with the general population, the risk of SMN is significantly higher (SIR = 4.36). The risk of developing SMNs was significantly higher in the digestive system (SIR = 7.29), bones and joints (SIR = 12.91), urinary system (SIR = 23.48), brain and other nervous systems (SIR = 5.70), and endocrine system (SIR = 5.84). Multivariate analysis revealed that the year of diagnosis (OR = 2.138, 95% CI = 1.634–2.797, p < 0.001) was the only independent risk factor for developing SMNs. Conclusion This study identifies the risk factor for developing SMNs in patients with neuroblastoma, which could facilitate individualized screening for high-risk patients, to allow early diagnosis and treatment of SMNs.

Modern approaches to protecting public health in the world are increasingly guided by the concept of preventable loss of health, which provides for the concentration of health efforts on the prevention of morbidity and disability. The nosological spectrum of causes of disability includes a large list of diseases, among which the leading ones are chronic non-communicable diseases, which are characterized by an epidemic type of spread. The highest level of disability is observed in connection with diseases of the circulatory system, malignant neoplasms, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. Of the total number of citizens recognized as disabled, a significant number are disabled people of the first and second groups. The significance of the disability problem is aggravated by the special demographic situation of the "aging" of the population, which is associated with the accumulation of pathology of various major body systems. Persistent dysfunctions of the body due to diseases, consequences of injuries and defects can lead to disabilities. The development of the UN international legal framework (UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, "International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health") contributed to the formation of social policy in Russia aimed at protecting the rights of persons with disabilities. Medical and social rehabilitation and habilitation of persons with disabilities is the basis of social protection of citizens with health problems. The implementation of the main directions of medical and social rehabilitation and habilitation of persons with disabilities (medical, professional social) involves the use by persons with disabilities of technical means of rehabilitation that can compensate for impaired or lost functions of the body, which helps to overcome the limitations of life and socialization of citizens with persistent health problems.
