The Effect of Metabolic and Immunocorrective Therapy on the Dynamics of Impaired Indicators of Neurological and Mental Functions in Chronic Occupational Mercury Intoxication in a Contingent of Disabled People Aged 18 Years and Older

Abstract

The use of drugs with antioxidant and antihypoxant activity in combination with immunocorrectors for chronic occupational mercury intoxication in a contingent of disabled people aged 18 years and older makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation of this contingent. The developed treatment regimens affect the main links of pathogenetic tissue damage by mercury vapor. In order to increase the objectivity of the results of the study, the predominant neurological disorders occurring in the lower extremities must be diagnosed on a complex computer-dynamic complex "ZEBRIS" with the function of a diagnostic track with a power platform, which allows to identify the degree of distribution of force and pressure of the feet when walking, violations of static support capacity on a moving platform. We have analyzed statistical data on disability due to exposure to chronic mercury intoxication for the period 2019- 2021 in the Republic of Mordovia. Risk groups have been identified according to the degree of loss of professional ability to work, depending on age, duration of work in mercury production, concomitant diseases. Contingents of disabled people with impaired mental and statodynamic functions were identified. Groups of disabled people in need of medical and social rehabilitation measures have been identified.
