| Abstract |
Results of clinical and neurological observations in 104 chemical industry workers (84 of whom were exposed to carbon monoxide and to methanol) to study the course of cerebral atherosclerosis. Nearly all the exposed subjects suffered from migraine. Neurological symptoms: tremor of the eyelids and fingers, hyperhidrosis, weakening of dermographic response (or, on the contrary, over-reaction), vascular dysfunction. Clinical and biochemical findings: increase in β-lipoprotein and cholesterol levels, increase in coagulation properties of the blood, etc. - all characteristic signs of atherosclerosis. |
