[Pathology caused by video terminals: critical review].

A review of data resulting from the studies on health aspects of VDT operators is hereby presented and discussed by the Authors. In particular, researches on visual, musculoskeletal, dermatological and reproductive system alterations in VDT operators, together with psychological aspects, are evaluated and problems involved in radiation emission from VDTs are exposed too. Preventive measures are mentioned. According to the majority of the studies--up to now--no valid evidence of any abnormalities has been provided that can be specifically attributed to VDT work. The necessity of further researches on psycho-organic aspects of work with VDT is suggested by the Authors.

[Characteristics and definition of stress in subjects exposed to video display terminals: evaluation of urinary excretion of catecholamines and euglobulin lysis time in a group of VDT operators].

Occupational stress is defined and the main problems involved in the study of stress in VDT operators are pointed out and discussed. A preliminary research is presented, in which urinary catecholamines and fibrinolysis are tested in a group of VDT telephone operators. Basal values are compared with data obtained after a work shift. No evident difference appears from this evaluation.
