[Peripheral autonomic insufficiency in workers who sustain the chronic effect of an occupational vibration-noise...

The development was studied of vegetative disorders in workers under chronic exposure to occupational vibration and noise. In the workmen, the segmentary apparatus of the vegetative nervous system (VNS) gets affected, with the peripheral vegetative insufficiency syndrome being developed. During the early stages of occupational contact with a vibronoise factor there develops an affection of the sympathetic portion of VNS but the longer the service duration the greater is the share of parasympathetic disorders. One of the most efficient ways for preventing a vibronoise affection of VNS are well-done preliminary and regular health checks, observance of sanitary-and-health labour standards, and introduction of innovative technological ways and means designed to offer defence against vibration and noise.
