Occupational diseases are health problems of employees, caused by harmful and hazardous agents present in the occupational activity or work environment. Occupational skin diseases – relevant, but not often discussed topic. They are the most commonly diagnosed diseases in Western countries while in Lithuania it is only the sixtieth part of all occupational diseases. Occupational skin diseases have poor prognosis and long-term consequences, causing disability, unemployment and necessity to change the profession. Early prevention and diagnosis can prevent negative effects of the life quality. Occupational rehabilitation program, organized by the Ministry of social security and labour, helps to adapt people who are disabled due to occupational diseases. The purpose of this article is to introduce the importance of occupational skin diseases in Lithuania and abroad, also to discuss the possible causes of these diseases, prevention, diagnosis and options of occupational rehabilitation.

Dramatic changes in the age structure of the population have led to a rise in the age of retirement. An ageing working population may be a problem for companies and for their health and safety services that must face the long-term management of active, chronically ill workers. For sustainability reasons the discipline of occupational medicine must be replaced by occupational health, which not only combats occupational diseases, but actively works to promote the health of older workers. More in general, occupational health has a strong interest in promoting engagement in professional activities. Shifting from a reactive to a proactive logic will take time and require a big effort on the part of employers, employees and health and safety staff in order to develop participatory ergonomics and best health promotion practices in the workplace.

In the clinic of occupational diseases, the issues of objective and early diagnosis of disorders of the body’s functions associated with long-term industrial activity of workers whose work is associated with functional loads that contribute to the formation of pathology of the lumbosacral spine are very relevant. In the present study, in 60 male employees of heavy physical labor caused by static and / or dynamic load on the lumbosacral spine, changes in electroneuromyographic and radiological parameters were evaluated, which reflected the clinical dynamics of the development of peripheral and musculoskeletal system disorders and were more often observed in trained employees compared to persons who were not subjected to chronic physical overload.

The article presents a retrospective of the main directions of research on the preservation of the health of the population and labor resources of the Siberian Federal District based on the long-term work of the Scientific Research Institute of Complex Problems of Hygiene and Occupational Diseases in Novokuznetsk. There is the ecological and hygienic definition and justification of optimal human life conditions; the development and implementation of methods for the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of occupational, production-related, and general diseases; planning the strategy of medical services and organizations in the management of healthcare, taking into account the peculiarities of population reproduction, the specifics of working conditions and socio-economic development of regions.

Primary Strategy

Occupational lung diseases are caused primarily as a result of exposure to risk factors arising from the work envi- ronment. Persons with few weeks of exposure to workplace hazards may experience mild symptoms, whereas long term exposure results in a complicated presentation like severe respiratory debilitation and even death. Occupational lung diseases may be misdiagnosed as COPD or other diseases, which leads to delay in the identification of the etiological factors. There is no treatment for any of the occupational lung diseases that can reverse the damage already done. So, prevention of occupational exposure is the primary strategy in these ailments. In the present era, people are turning towards Ayurveda for chronic disease management, so a long-term approach to these could be beneficial in the management of occupational lung diseases. So, it's the need of the hour for an Ayurvedic physician to be accustomed to occupational diseases and their management through Ayurveda. Keywords: Occupational lung disorders, Ayurveda for OLD, Yoga and Pranayama.

The Impact

Working conditions in welding are characterized by the impact on the human body of a complex of harmful factors of the work environment. One of the most dangerous is a welding aerosol with a high content of manganese. Long-term high occupational exposure to manganese is causes manganese parkinsonism, the diagnosis of which is difficult, especially when conducting a differential diagnosis with PD.

Long Term Behavior

AbstractFurniture contaminated with uranium will be disposed of, together with U-bearing waste, in ageological repository such as the WIPP site in New Mexico. It is important to understand the effect of the wooden furniture on the migration of uranium in order to predict long-term behavior of uranium in a geological repository environment. In this paper, we present natural uraninite-bearing carbonized wood pieces from a sandstone-hosted roll-type uranium ore deposit in NW China. Results from SEM and TEM observations show that there are nanometer sized, and micron-sized, uraninite crystals that have accumulated on cell walls of the carbonized wood. Some uranitite crystrals display oval and round shapes that may be the result of microbial-induced reduction of uranium from groundwater. The wood carbonized fragments are the most uranium-rich “phase.” In some areas, aggregates of pyrite crystals occur withthe uraninite. It is proposed that organic components from the decay of the wood cells provide nutrientsfor the anaerobic bacteria to grow. The wood pieces with the bacteria inside may serve as scavengers of uranium because of the local reducing chemical environment.
