[The characteristics of the sympathico-adrenal and kinin systems in engineers in the early stages of arterial hypertension].

Overall seventy-two engine-drivers with borderline arterial hypertension (BAH) and stage I arterial hypertension (AH) were studied for the condition of the sympathoadrenal and kinin systems before and after trip. Both groups exhibited a rise in the activity of the sympathoadrenal system before trip, with still greater rise being recordable after trip. BAH and stage I AH subjects demonstrated an increased activity of the kinin system of the kidneys before trip and decreased one after trip. Suppression of the kinin system of the kidneys with simultaneous progression of pressor effects leads to decline in adaptation to physical and psychoemotional overloads in those engine-drivers presenting with early stages of AH.

Kankakee, IL: two hospitals; a middle-of-the-night train crash; 114 injured--how their disaster plans played out.

The emergency disaster plans of two Illinois hospitals were recently put to the test after an Amtrak train crash that occurred on the night of March 15 when a passenger train traveling from Chicago to New Orleans collided with a semi-trailer truck, causing the train to derail about 50 miles south of Chicago in the city of Bourbonnais, IL. The injured were taken to Riverside Medical Center and Provena St. Mary's Hospital, Kankakee, IL--a city of 30,000. Out of the 216 passengers on Amtrak's City of New Orleans, 11 people, all located in the sleeper car, were killed and 114 were injured. The accident was the largest that the two area hospitals had ever dealt with. Here's how they handled it.

[Research and production of air cleaner for traveller train carriage].

After the traveller train carriage is closed, the air pollution would be serious in the carriage. In order to control the air pollution, the air cleaning technology must be studied and the air cleaner for the carriage must be designed. The authors discussed. 1. Working out a technology scheme and main technology parameter for the air cleaner, and the structure design of the air cleaner. 2. Texting the function and performance of the air cleaner. 3. Investigating the effectiveness of the cleaner in same train sections. Thereby it will be confirmed that the air cleaner can improve the air environment in the carriage, and give convincingly security to the health of attendants and travellers.

[Hygienic and antiepidemic provision of the utilization of solid waste from long-distance trains].

Based on the hygienic analysis of the currently available methods for decontamination and processing of solid waste from long-distance trains, the authors have developed a system for its collection and utilization. The hygienic aspects of the reconstruction and construction of railway objects are presented by taking into account the proposed system for refuse collection and processing.

[Current tasks of hygienic provisions of metro design and construction].

A new part of the existing document on sanitary norms and metro design is proposed to present as a separate section "Hygienic and Ecological Requirements". Its structure should be determined by current views on the regulated environmental factors (physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic). Requirements should be systematized by hygienic criteria of the duration and rate of the human influence of these factors by taking into account of the functional purpose of premises and erections.
