Bibliographic information July 1981, Vol.6, p.15-20. Illus. 11 ref.
Abstract Rheoencephalographic investigations of frontal-mastoid tracings were carried out on 27 clinically healthy subjects - women bank employees, accountants, inspectors and women tellers, whose work involved considerable neuropsychic stress and a high degree of responsibility. There were unfavourable functional changes in the rheoencephalographic indices studied: slight elevation (16%) of amplitude of rheographic wave (RW), asymmetry of 20-88% of RW in 51.8% of the subjects examined - moderately manifested vegetative dystonic phenomena. The unfavourable functional changes could be associated with considerable neuropsychic stress during the working hours of the subjects examined.
