In accordance with the requirements of paragraph 3.2.6 of sanitary rules and norms «Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for physical factors at workplace», in the event of exceeding noise level at workplace above 80 dBA, an employer is obliged to assess the health risk of workers and confirm an acceptable risk to their health. The connection between the incidence of occupational and occupationally conditioned diseases with noise exposure exceeding the maximum permissible levels (80 dBA) was estimated. The assessment was carried out at a food industry enterprise of Perm Region. Assessing the relationship between morbidity and noise exposure is the first step in evaluation of occupational health risks for workers exposed to noise exceeding MAL. If a reliable relationship between morbidity and noise exposure is established, an assessment of occupational risk is conducted. The odds ratio (OR) for diseases characterized by high blood pressure and disorders of autonomic nervous system was <1 (confidence interval CI=0.11–1.61 and CI=0.08–2.78, respectively). The relative risk (RR) for diseases characterized by high blood pressure and disorders of autonomic nervous system was <1. The received data testify absence of connection of morbidity with exposure to industrial noise, calculation of etiological share of responses and levels of risk is not required.

Superior mesenteric arterial flow, aortic blood pressure, and heart rate were recorded, and plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) concentrations were measured in conscious unrestrained cats during intravenous infusions of AVP (0.1–8.1 mU.kg-1. min-1). Responses to AVP were studied when autonomic nervous system (ANS) function remained intact and when the cholinergic limb of the system had been antagonized by methscopolamine nitrate (0.5 mg/kg) or by pirenzepine (60 micrograms/kg). Elevations in the circulating levels of AVP to approximately 30 and 600 fmol/ml in cats with intact ANS function were associated with decreases in superior mesenteric arterial conductance (SMAC, ml.min-1.kg-1.mmHg-1) of approximately 9 and 50%. The relationship between the dose of AVP and the decreases in SMAC for methscopolamine-treated cats was displaced slightly but significantly to the left of that for intact cats. The relationship between the dose of AVP and the increases in arterial pressure for methscopolamine-treated cats was also significantly displaced to the left of that for intact cats; however, the magnitude of the displacement was much greater than that for the dose-conductance relationship. In contrast to the findings with methscopolamine, pirenzepine did not significantly influence either the dose-conductance or dose-blood pressure response curves. These results are consistent with three conclusions. First, physiologically (less than 30 fmol/ml) and pathophysiologically (less than 600 fmol/ml) relevant concentrations of AVP are capable of inducing intestinal vasoconstriction, even in the presence of intact autonomic function. Second, the cholinergic limb of the autonomic nervous system plays a major role in buffering the vasopressor effects of AVP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Background: Patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain have a higher chance of presenting impairment in cardiovascular autonomic modulation, which may have implications for cardiovascular events. The autonomic nervous system plays an important role in pain modulation. However, it is unclear whether patients with inefficient descending nociceptive inhibition have poorer cardiovascular autonomic modulation. Objective: To compare the cardiovascular autonomic modulation of patients with musculoskeletal pain who had normal versus impaired functioning of descending nociceptive inhibitory system (DNIS). Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Setting: Physiotherapy outpatient service. Methods: Fifty-six patients with musculoskeletal pain were included. Conditioned pain modulation was assessed by the difference of algometric values held in the dorsal forearm and tibialis anterior muscle, before and after a thermal pain stimulus was employed via the cold pressure test (CPT). Patients with inefficient DNIS in both sites were classified as impaired responders (n = 14). The others were classified as normal responders (n = 42). Cardiac autonomic modulation was monitored at rest by heart rate variability (HRV). The blood pressure response to the CPT was used as a proxy of sympathetic responsiveness. Results: Most of the patients were women (60%) and had chronic pain (75%). The groups had similar demographic characteristics. Patients with impaired DNIS showed lower HRV [RMSSD (P = 0.020), SDRR (P = 0.009), HF (ms2 ) (P = 0.027), LF (ms2 ) (P = 0.004), and total power (P = 0.002)]. The blood pressure response to CPT was similar between groups (systolic pressure, P = 0.813; diastolic pressure, P = 0.709). Limitation: Physical activity level, emotional changes, and visceral pathologies can alter the autonomic nervous system and may represent potential confounders. The low number of patients may have biased the results. Conclusion: Patients with impaired DNIS presented lower resting HRV, indicating an altered vagal control of the heart. In contrast, the blood pressure response to a sympathoexcitatory stimulus was preserved. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Augusto Motta University Centre (CAAE number: 46245215.9.0000.5235), and all patients signed the Informed Consent Form.
