Occupational diseases

Any monotonous activity or specific profession is associated with a certain risk of undermining one's own health. Occupational diseases are inherent in almost any enterprise or institution, and the degree of morbidity in many respects depends on the level of the person's preparedness for the position held and for his workplace. Of great importance is also the fulfillment of the requirements for labor protection and safety.

Epidemiology

According to world statistics, 160 million people annually seek help for diseases that have occurred due to professional characteristics.

Causes of the occupational diseases

Professional pathologies develop as a consequence of influence on the body of certain negative factors of production. Very often, the clinic does not differ in any symptoms, and only information about the profession and the conditions of activity help to suggest a connection between the disease and the occupation. Only a small part of the disease has typical symptoms, which are found mainly on the radiograph or after the blood test.

There is no whole accepted classification of occupational pathologies. The only type of separation is the etiological classification. It divides diseases into several groups:

• caused by the influence of chemical substances (poisoning, toxic damage to the body);
• caused by inhalation of dust (pathology of the respiratory system);
• caused by mechanical action - vibration, noise, ultrasound;
• caused by irradiation;
• caused by differences in air pressure (decompression, hypoxia);
• caused by changes in the environment (hypothermia, overheating);
• caused by excessive strain of muscles, joints and nerves (arthrosis, arthritis, myositis, neuritis, etc.);
• caused by the biological effects of infection or parasites (fungal or bacterial diseases, specific infectious diseases).

A separate list distinguishes diseases of allergic or oncological etiology.

In addition, they distinguish the acute and chronic form of occupational pathology.

• The acute form develops rapidly, often after a single exposure to an unfavorable factor (for example, with an excessive concentration of chemical reagents).
• The chronic form develops with a regular or constant impact of the damaging factor on a person.

The time during which the accumulation of negative effects in the body occurs is called the latent (latent) period of occupational pathology. Its duration is directly related to the degree of influence, the conditions of work, the initial state of the body, etc. Thus, in some patients, the latent period lasts only 2-3 years, while others may last for several tens of years.

Symptoms of the occupational diseases

In 2011, the textbook "Occupational Diseases - V.V. Kosarev and S.Babanov" was published, in which the authors described in detail the variants and progress of occupational diseases. Initially, this book is a tool for students and doctors who are studying the pathologies of various professions. The textbook examines the main signs and characteristics of diseases, which are most often found in everyday life. These are diseases caused by the action of dust particles, vibration, chemical reagents, etc.

The book describes the themes of pathologies associated with functional overstrain, with the influence of biological factors. Diagnostic schemes for routine check-ups, as well as treatment and prevention options, are evaluated.

Professor Kosarev is the head of the department of professional pathologies in the Samara State Medical University, as well as the chief professional pathologist of the Ministry of Health of the Samara region.

Occupational lung diseases

Professional pulmonary pathologies can be triggered by harmful microparticles, sprays, vapor or gaseous substances that enter the human respiratory system. How and where exactly the disease begins will largely depend on the caliber and the type of penetrating particles. The smaller the particle, the deeper they penetrate, revealing itself not only in the lungs, but also in the circulatory system.

According to the etiologic factor, professional lung lesions are divided into the following types:

• silicosis - a pneumoconiosis caused by the action of microparticles of quartz, with silica in the composition;
• silicatosis is a pneumoconiosis that occurs when you get into the respiratory system of silica in combination with other particles such as aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium, etc. Silicates are the result of inhalation of clay particles, talc, cement, etc .;
• metallokonioz - a kind of pneumoconiosis, provoked by metallic dust;
• Karkoniosis - pneumoconiosis, the appearance of which is due to the action of carbonaceous dust contained in coal, carbon black, graphite, etc .;
• organic pneumoconiosis - appears under the influence of inhalation of organic particles (plant components, such as cotton, flax, reeds, and agricultural dust);
• mixed pneumoconiosis - caused by a mixed type of dust particles.

Professional Skin Diseases

Diseases of the skin are often manifested in people whose profession is associated with direct exposure to the skin of various chemical and other aggressive substances, as well as with regular mechanical damage to the surface layers of the epidermis.

To professional dermatological diseases include:

• skin discoloration, hyperpigmentation or discoloration (in people who work with bleach, colorants and chemicals);
• changes in the structure of the skin when working with lime, cement, soot, etc .;
• violation of the structure of the nail plates (observed in dishwashers, washerwomen, as well as in x-ray doctors);
• pigment dermatitis (occupational disease of seamen, steelmakers);
• calluses and coarsening of the skin (in persons engaged in heavy physical labor);
• vascular asterisks (arise under the influence of temperature changes - in steelmakers, bakers);
• superficial damage to the skin (appearing with direct damage to the skin - in builders, handymen, locksmiths, etc.);
• Burn scars (typical for bakers, foundries, smiths).

Also, allergic reactions, the manifestation of which is allergic dermatitis, as well as infectious diseases of the skin, are not excluded. For example, the development of eczema is typical for miners and auto mechanics.

Occupational diseases of the eyes

Professional eye diseases can be caused by physical, biological and chemical factors. Thus, diseases of the visual organs often develop as a result of exposure:

• radiation;
• chemicals and poisons;
• infectious agents and invasions.

There is no clear specificity of professional eye pathologies. However, such diseases often accompany allergic reactions and intoxications.

Labor activity, which is characterized by regular and prolonged strain of the eyes, can lead to overwork of the eyes, and in time and to a deterioration of the visual function. About the same action has a constant sharp change in the brightness of the lighting, or work in the twilight. As a result, a spasm of accommodation and the development of myopia.

Professional illness of drivers

Professional diseases of people who are forced to spend a lot of time driving a car can be divided into several groups.

1. Diseases associated with prolonged monotonous sedentary position (diseases of the spine, arthrosis, chondrosis, sciatica, hemorrhoids and inflammation of the prostate).
2. Diseases provoked by frequent stressful situations (heart and vascular diseases, high blood pressure, heart rhythm disturbances, heart attack).
3. Diseases caused by improper and irregular intake of food - for example, truckers (ulcer, gastritis, enterocolitis, gallbladder disease).
4. Diseases that develop as a result of inactivity and disorders of metabolic processes (diabetes, obesity).

The listed diseases appear because of the characteristic working conditions, when the driver has to be in the same position every day. In addition, stress caused by the situation on the roads, traffic jams, etc., also imprint on the state of health. Hence, diseases arise that often remain with drivers for life.

Occupational diseases of doctors

The profession of a doctor is rightly considered to be very important, responsible and complex - one that is combined with a large number of nervous and moral loads. Among narrow specialties, dentists, pathologists, radiologists, infectious disease specialists, and also average medical personnel are most likely to suffer from occupational diseases.

Professional diseases of doctors can be divided into the following categories:

• Chemical-toxic damage caused by the long-term effects of preparations of iodine, camphor, arsenic, ethers. To the same category are various poisoning and intoxications.
• Biological defeat, provoked by close communication of health workers with patients spreading the infection. First of all, we mean highly contagious serious pathologies, such as tuberculosis, viral hepatitis and HIV.
• Physical and mechanical injuries that affect the health of medical personnel include exposure to harmful emissions, electromagnetic waves, high frequencies, which can subsequently cause diseases of the nervous and cardiovascular system.
• Hypodynamia and prolonged presence in a monotonous position, inherent in surgeons and microsurgeons, can provoke the development of diseases of the spine, lower extremities and organs of vision.

The average medical staff, especially nurses, who directly conduct manipulations with patients, are subject to such diseases as allergies, viral hepatitis, tuberculosis, HIV, etc.

Occupational diseases of dentists

To occupational diseases of dentists can be attributed pathology of the musculoskeletal system, the nervous system, diseases of the spine and connective tissue.

The dentist sometimes has to work in extremely uncomfortable positions, in which the load on the musculoskeletal system increases many times. This provokes increased fatigue, overload of muscles and tendons.

Also for dentists and dental technicians, a disease such as silicosis is characteristic. This problem arises from the regular ingress of dental and cement dust into the respiratory tract. This same dust can get not only into the bronchi and lungs, but also into the eyes, which provokes the development of conjunctivitis.

Among other, less common diseases of the dentist, you can identify arthritis, muscle spasms, bronchial asthma, dermatological diseases.

Occupational diseases of teachers

The profession of the teacher means education, training and social work, which greatly affects the health of teachers. In addition, excessive responsibility can lead to disorders of the nervous system. The teacher not only conducts lessons and extracurricular activities: he is involved in public events, often organizes various groups and sections, and should be able to communicate informally with the clients, understand their way of life and hobbies.

Teachers daily experience a lot of negative influences:

• Daily overloads (irregular working day, attraction to public events, after-hours classes, etc.).
• Load on the organs of vision.
• Psycho-emotional overload (working with "difficult" children, finding a common language with students and their parents, etc.).
• Work in noisy rooms.
• The risk of infectious diseases.
• When working with computer equipment - the risk of electromagnetic wave influence.

What occupational diseases of teachers can we talk about?

• Disturbance of visual function, decreased visual acuity.
• Diseases of the heart and blood vessels, varicosity, hypertension, VSD, etc.
• Diseases associated with stress and lack of a diet are inflammatory processes in the digestive tract, stomach ulcers, etc.
• Frequent colds, laryngitis, viral infections.
• Pathology of the musculoskeletal system - spine diseases, osteochondrosis, arthrosis.

Often there are neuroses, depressive conditions, migraines and other problems with the nervous system.

Professional diseases of pilots

Undoubtedly, the profession of a pilot is not only a romance, but also a possible deterioration of health, especially for those people who have been engaged in flights for many years. Many pilots are forced to change their profession due to diseases of the cardiovascular system. This is hypertension, venous weakness, vegetovascular dystonia, etc.

Of great importance for pilots is the state of the nervous system, the ability to respond competently even in the most extreme and stressful situations. Any mental disorders, depressive states, neuropathies are testimonies to the removal of a person from flights.

In addition to all of the above, pilots can get sick with the same illnesses as flight attendants. Such diseases include:

• desynchronosis (biorhythm failure in the body);
• problems with digestion;
• pathology in the genital area (decreased libido, asthenozoospermia, etc.).

In some cases, cerebral circulation may be impaired, and coronary diseases are also common.

Occupational diseases stewardesses

The flight attendant's work is not only beautiful and interesting, but also quite dangerous, both from the physical and psychological aspects. This is a profession associated with frequent changes in atmospheric pressure, lack of oxygen, the change of time zones, climate change, mechanical vibration, improper diet. As a result, even the most healthy and young organism undergoes lasting changes.

Permanent standing in the standing position affects the condition of the lower limbs. Hence - varicose veins, arthrosis of the knee joints, etc.

Also, stewardesses are characterized by such a rare disease as desynchronosis - this is a mismatch of internal human biorhythms. This condition develops with frequent changes in the time zones, when the usual time of sleep and wakefulness changes dramatically.

The change of biorhythms negatively affects the reproductive system. Stewardesses are characterized by gynecological diseases, which are expressed in the imbalance of the hormonal level. Among such diseases - amenorrhea, endometriosis, hormonal infertility.

Professional diseases of ballerinas

Ballerinas and dancers often complain about the increased sensitivity of the legs and joints. Indeed, the musculoskeletal system, and especially the lower limbs - is what the maximum number of loads is. In the beginning there is a disturbance of blood circulation in the legs. Then there are painful changes in the veins: there are vascular mesh, hemorrhage, widening of the vascular wall. Often after rehearsal, the veins become more prominent, they swell and ache.

With the progression of varicose veins, there is constant fatigue, blood stasis, a sense of heaviness.

In addition to the defeat of venous vessels, dancers are characterized by violations in the work of joints, especially knee and ankle. With age, chronic arthrosis, myositis, bursitis can develop. A considerable load on the spinal column provokes the appearance of pain, osteochondrosis, radiculitis.

Occupational disease of miners

The miner is one of the most dangerous and extreme professions. This constant presence of dust from coal and rocks, changing the composition of air, large concentrations of carbon dioxide, periodic presence of methane in the atmosphere, as well as inhalation of hydrogen sulfide, sulfur, explosive gases, etc. In addition, there is a high level of noise and vibration, and workers often stay for a long time in unnatural forced positions of the body. The miner's work is hard and dangerous, and the risk of injury is almost constant.

Among the occupational diseases of miners, the pathology of the respiratory system occupies the first place - pneumoconiosis, bronchitis, tuberculosis. In second place - injuries, musculoskeletal and eye diseases, as well as dermatological diseases.

When harmful gaseous substances enter the atmosphere, intoxication, emphysema, and autonomic nervous system disorders often occur.

Professional diseases of programmers

According to statistics, the most common problem of people working at a computer is a chronic fatigue syndrome. The fact is that the time behind the monitor flies by unnoticed, the body overloads with information, resulting in the brain is simply tired. However, chronic fatigue is not the only disease inherent in programmers and computer scientists.

Arthritis and neuritis of the wrist joint, tunnel syndrome are pathologies that are caused by a constant load when using a computer mouse. An inconvenient position of the hands first provokes soreness in the hand, after which the joint disease gradually develops.

Is it worth talking about the constant lack of full sleep, about a sedentary lifestyle and irrational nutrition. Hence - diseases such as insomnia, hemorrhoids, gastritis, constipation and peptic ulcer.

The third place is occupied by violations of visual functions. Especially often myopia develops, because the constant monitoring of the monitor negatively affects the vision.

Occupational disease of welders

There is a whole list of diseases typical for people who work as welders. As a rule, pathologies appear as a result of inhaling welding deposits, sparks, due to light exposure, unnatural positions of the welder during work and lack of quality conditions for occupational health.

People who have worked as welders for more than 10 years can celebrate the development of such diseases:

• bronchitis;
• pneumoconiosis;
• asthmatic bronchitis;
• eczema, dermatosis;
• neurotoxicosis;
• diseases of the spine.

Most of the diseases in welders is due to the fact that a man has to breathe not just air, but a harmful gaseous mixture, with a mass of chemical particles that inevitably enter the respiratory tract. This affects not only the bronchi and lungs, but also internal organs: the liver, the digestive system, the vessels.

Professional disease of hairdressers

Hairdressers - it would seem, is not such a dangerous profession, but it also carries a certain number of health risks. Regular inhalation of small hairs, chemical suspensions, microscopic dust from aerosols, as well as permanent standing position often negatively affects the health of workers in this specialty.

• Allergy in hairdressers is associated with the use of all kinds of coloring, fixing, straightening agents, which in large quantities are very harmful to the body. Hence - allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, dermatitis, bronchitis and asthma.

• Varicose veins - chronic weakness of the venous walls - develops due to prolonged standing and increased stress on the lower limbs.
• Diseases of the spine, osteochondrosis of the cervical and thoracic areas, radiculitis are the consequences of frequent bending over low chairs when serving clients.

In addition, not always the barber has the opportunity to eat normally at work, which can lead to problems with digestion.

Professional diseases in the masters of manicure

Masters of manicure - it's not such an easy profession, as it seems at first glance. Cleaning, modeling and covering of nails in most cases are combined with certain harmful effects. It can be the inhalation of chemicals and particles of nail dust, eye strain, hands and fingers, as well as direct contact with sick clients.

The procedure of manicure is sometimes accompanied by damage to the surface layer of the skin, which can cause a slight bleeding in the client. This may be enough to cause a risk of infection.

The manicure master is subject to the following diseases:

• allergic reactions;
• respiratory diseases;
• hepatitis B, C, D;
• AIDS virus;
• fungal diseases of the skin and nails.

Professional diseases of masseurs

Different massage techniques do not always allow the masseuse to take a comfortable position of the body, avoid head inclinations, evenly distribute the load on the hands and hands.

Moreover, the work of the masseur in most cases provides for a permanent stay on the legs. As a result, the following diseases can develop:

• arthrosis and epicondylitis of the shoulder joints - degenerative and inflammatory lesions of shoulder joint tissue;
• tunnel syndrome - carpal tunnel neuropathy;
• pathology of tendons - tendinitis, tendovaginitis;
• osteochondrosis of the spine, radiculitis;
• stagnant phenomena in the veins of the lower extremities.

Sometimes massage therapists use talc, powders, massage creams and oils in their work. Therefore, often this can also affect the state of health: allergic reactions, dermatitis, and when inhaled powders and talc there is a large risk of developing bronchial asthma.

Occupational diseases of the cook

What pathologies can the cook encounter? The work of the cook is associated with a long standing on the legs, with temperature changes, with overwork, etc. According to statistics, cooks often face such diseases:

• pathology of the lower extremities and vessels (varicose veins, thrombophlebitis);
• diseases of the spinal column (scoliosis, osteochondrosis);
• injuries, burns;

• poisoning;
• allergic reactions;
• diseases of the digestive system;
• disorders of metabolic processes (obesity, diabetes mellitus);
• hypertension;
• dermatological diseases;
• rheumatism;
• cardiovascular pathologies;
• cold, sore throat.

A specific disease, which is typical for people related to tasting food and drinks, is the bride. Bristost is a temporary or permanent loss of the opportunity to feel the taste. To this pathology can also be attributed distortion of taste, which can be associated with other, background diseases.

Professional diseases of porn stars

Actors who shoot in porn films - this is also a profession, despite the fact that many are skeptical about this. Are there any professional pathologies in this field? Of course yes. And, first of all, these are contact diseases, which are transmitted sexually.

On this account, even a study was conducted, which showed that up to 15% of porn stars suffer from chlamydia, and 5% suffers from gonorrhea. Among women involved in filming pornography, more than 70% have any sexually transmitted diseases. By the way, a person who has been ill with such a disease, in 26% of the cases, risks falling ill again.

In addition to the listed pathologies, porn stars, like other people, are subject to such diseases as viral infections, laryngitis, colds, etc.

Professional diseases of pianists

In musicians who play keyboards, most often there are hand diseases - these are inflammations of muscles, articular bags, tendons, joints, etc. Such pathologies are accompanied by pain and limit the ability to engage in music.

If you list all the most common diseases of pianists, the list will look something like this:

• diseases of the upper extremities and shoulder girdle (epicondylitis, legament, bursitis, myositis, tendovaginitis, arthritis, arthrosis);
• diseases of the spinal column (osteochondrosis, scoliosis).

However, most often pianists suffer from dyskinesia. This is a pathology that is called "coordination neurosis" a motor coordination disorder, combined with delayed muscle reaction to stimulation, or with muscle spasm.

Professional diseases of guitarists

Professional guitar playing is combined with increased stress on the wrist and hand. This can provoke the development of certain pathologies that adversely affect the function and mobility of the limb.

To professional diseases of guitarists are:

• osteochondropathy of the wrist joint is an aseptic necrosis of the bone element, arising from a constant load;
• deforming arthrosis is the wear of the joint;
• ligamentitis of the ring-shaped ligaments of the fingers is the defeat of the tendons and ligaments, which leads to a disruption in the function of the fingers;
• bursitis - an inflammatory process in the joint bag, associated with a violation of the production of lubricant;

• Dupuytren's contracture is cicatricial transformation and shortening of palmar tendons, palmar fibromatosis;
• hygroma is the accumulation of serous fluid in the synovial pouch;
• neuritis - an inflammation of the nerve fibers of the limb;
• disturbance of the tone of the vessels of the extremities.

Professional diseases of firefighters

The profession of a firefighter always has to do with danger and risk, including the risk of developing occupational diseases. The health of a firefighter is directly affected by a number of factors:

• increased risk of danger, which leads to neuropsychic disorders;
• work under high temperature conditions;
• risk of poisoning the body.

External tissue damage, burns, electric trauma, carbon monoxide poisoning - this is not a complete list of pathologies inherent in firefighters. With age, this can entail the development of serious and large-scale diseases:

• cancer of the lungs and other organs;
• cardiac ischemia;
• aortic aneurysm;
• pulmonary pathology (due to inhalation of harmful chemical compounds and hot air).

Many firefighters also have psychological problems, which are formed as a result of frequent stresses. It can be depressive states, neuropathies, etc.

Professional carpool diseases

The majority of occupational motor vehicle diseases are explained by constant contact with chemical dyes, adhesives, putties, etc., as well as the load on the upper limbs and back.

Diseases of the upper extremities are usually represented by epicondylitis, an inflammatory process in the ulnar tendons.

The chemical constituents of paints, leveling compounds and solvents can lead to serious intoxication of the body. With prolonged and constant use of chemicals, they can accumulate in tissues and organs, which can subsequently lead to oncological diseases, dermatological problems, ulcers and respiratory system lesions.

The most common in motor vehicles there are such diseases:

• bronchitis and bronchial asthma;
• conjunctivitis;
• allergic reactions;
• contact dermatitis;
• epidermitis;
• eczema;
• cancerous tumors.

Diagnostics of the occupational diseases

To correctly diagnose occupational diseases, doctors adhere to the following technology:

• When interviewing a patient, it is necessary to clarify the details of his professional activities: the presence of harmful conditions, the likelihood of injury, etc.
• It is important to collect thorough information about the sanitary and other conditions of the patient's work, objectively evaluate it and record it in the history of the disease.
• On a mandatory basis, research should be conducted:
  • instrumental diagnostics - X-ray examination, ultrasound, MRI, cavitary visualization, etc., depending on the expected disease;
  • Analyzes - a general analysis of blood and urine, biochemical analysis, study of bioptate and secretions (fluid, pus, sputum, etc.): often with chronic intoxications, toxic substance residues are found in the urine.
• Before the appointment of treatment, you need to determine the sensitivity of the patient's body to chemical and medicinal substances. For this, skin, intracutaneous, endonasal and inhalation tests are performed.
• It is desirable to assess the state of health of other people who work under the same conditions as the patient: this is considered an important diagnostic criterion.

[14], [15], [16],

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis should be based on other causes, other than professional activities, which could lead to similar existing symptoms. Sometimes only the installation of dynamic control over the patient allows you to finally establish the relationship of the disease with the profession of the patient.

Treatment of the occupational diseases

Treatment of occupational diseases is carried out in a complex, with an impact on the etiology and clinical picture of the disease. When exposed to toxic substances, such as cyanides, nitro compounds, arsenic, etc., treatment is directed to the rapid removal of toxins from the circulatory system. Only after that they start to eliminate the symptoms of poisoning. In severe intoxication, procedures of forced diuresis, hemodialysis, plasma purification can be shown. If hypoxia is present, then hyperbaric oxygenation is used: this treatment is especially topical for chronic toxic lesions with changes in the lungs and bronchi.

For the treatment of occupational diseases, depending on the indications, such drugs as antibiotics, sulfonamides, glucocorticoid hormones, bronchodilators, cardiac and other drugs can be used. In chronic poisoning, metal compounds (lead, mercury, etc.) are prescribed antidote therapy with the use of complex agents - succimer, penicillamine, pentacin. The use of antidotes accelerates the excretion of metals from the body.

In diseases of the nervous system, the emphasis is on improving blood circulation in the vessels of the brain, on the activation of metabolic processes. Prescribe mostly vitamin, vegetotrophic and nootropic drugs.

In diseases caused by injuries received earlier, manual therapy, exercise therapy, reflexology, ultrasound, hydro- and electrotherapy, balneotherapy, stretching, paraffin baths are successfully used. At the same time, it is recommended to balance the diet, as well as to rest more.

Often when chronic injuries, with the violation of the function of the joints, surgical treatment is used:

• osteotomy - an operation to eliminate deformation and improve the performance of the musculoskeletal system;
• endoprosthetics - full or partial replacement of the joint with implants;
• restoration of tendons and sinovectomy.

The question of the necessity of the operation is decided on an individual basis, since in some cases after the operative treatment the patient needs to undergo a large-scale rehabilitation. Often there is a need to transfer the patient to another place of work, where there will be no current occupational hazards.

Homeopathy with occupational diseases

Homeopathic remedies often help restore the body's immune system, without the use of chemicals. Homeopathy implies the use of only natural components in the formulations.

The intake of homeopathic remedies allows you to balance all the functions in the body, including those that are related to the development of occupational diseases. There are practically no side effects and contraindications.

For the general strengthening of the organism and for the fight against diseases, funds are actively allocated for both domestic and foreign production:

• Digitalis plus;
• Venum;
• Heel;
• Edas;
• Bronze Horseman;
• Lomopsoriasis and the like

For treatment it is better to choose a remedy recommended by the attending physician and a homeopathic doctor. In any case, traditional therapy should not be replaced by homeopathy: homeopathic remedies can only complement the basic treatment.

Alternative treatment of occupational diseases

Can I protect myself from occupational diseases by using alternative methods? Indeed, many effective recipes are known that can purify the body of harmful toxic substances, strengthen immunity and eliminate the negative influence of external factors. For example, you can use herbal treatment, which is presented in the following recipes:

1. Mix 50 g of pomegranate color, as many blackheads and pour everything with a glass of water. Boil and insist 10 minutes. To profile. Add 50 ml of cognac to the cooled infusion and mix. Take in the morning on a tablespoon.
2. Drink a decoction of soybeans at 100 ml per day.
3. Drink tea from chicory and motherwort three times a day 1 hour after eating.
4. Drink milk with garlic powder, added to it, overnight, 150-200 ml.
5. Mix 20 g aloe paste, 30 g fat badger, 5 ml cognac and 10 g cocoa powder. Take 1 tablespoon daily, washed down with warm water.
6. Prepare an infusion of 50 grams of coltsfoot, 40 g of plantain and 50 g of spores (400 ml of water). Drink 150 ml for 1 hour before each meal.

If occupational diseases are complicated by other pathologies, or have become chronic, then other alternative recipes are used to eliminate a particular disease.

[17]

Prevention

Measures to prevent occupational diseases should be observed at any enterprise. Such activities should focus on:

• improvement of the socio-economic status of able-bodied people;
• establishment of an acceptable salary;
• strengthening of social protection of workers;
• improvement of health protection measures, minimization of harmful and dangerous working conditions;
• increase the social responsibility of employers, attract them to improve working conditions and ensure workers' health;
• providing timely medical assistance on demand.

In turn, taking into account his professional activity, any person should take care of his own health and regularly undergo preventive medical examinations and examinations. The prognosis of occupational pathologies can significantly improve with the timely application of the patient for medical care.

Unfortunately, occupational diseases can make themselves felt even a few years after the cessation of the hazardous activity. Therefore, prevention methods should be given special attention.
