Abstract:
In relevant tuberculosis incidence there are no favourable tendencies which are due to incomplete inclusion of the workers into prophylactic examinations for tuberculosis, irregular fluorographic examinations, concomitant diseases and heavy alcohol drinking. High incidence of tuberculosis was observed among persons in the prime of their life, mainly males and experienced workers. High efficiency control of tuberculosis resulted in lower tuberculosis incidence with temporary invalidity as to the cases and days per 100 workers. The present incidence of chronic nonspecific diseases of the lungs with temporary invalidity requires organization of hospital care for pulmonological patients at the medical and sanitary departments of the plants.

Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
