Reasons for the Improvement of Health of Transport Workers
•
The most important task of the medical support in transport is to determine the high-risk group liable to occurrence and development of pathological states, sudden deterioration of health and inadequate response, including detection of fatigue, stress and depression symptoms
•
Improvement of health of transport workers should ensure the maintenance of mental and physical performance during the work shift, normalization of daily rhythms and sleep disorders, controlled recovery after work shifts, enhancement of stress resistance and tolerance for monotony
•
Pharmacotherapy is rather specific due to the adverse effect of some drugs on the cognitive function

Early diagnosis of diseases
Possible solutions: 1. Determination of diagnostically important markers of disease, using an integrated approach that takes into account - genetic - traditional clinical and laboratory signs; 2. Creation of diagnostic and prognostic models based on modern data processing methods: Artificial Neural Networks, Principle Component Analysis (PCA), Support Vector Method (SVM) Accuracy > 90% when genetic and non-genetic traits are included Accuracy < 90%

Characteristics of the « Arfa» system allow providing a stable level of the magnetic field, which is about 48 µT in the latitude of Moscow ,for a few hours and compensating the geomagnetic field to zero.
The Arfa system allows recording the (3) components of the low frequency magnetic field in the working volume of the exposure block in real-time mode. The subject of the study is in the chair inside the exposure block in the screening of the electrostatic and electromagnetic fields up to 1 GHz. The study showed the possibility to measure the impact of hypomagnetic conditions on the performance of the cardiovascular system of examined volunteers. It was possible to estimate individual sensitivity of the subject, as well as indicators liable to the greatest variability in the changing ambient magnetic environment.

At present, there is a sign of intensive collaboration in the sphere of railway medicine with the International Union of Railway Medical Services (UIMC), which is a substructure of the International Union of Railways (UIC). The Russian delegation took part in the UIMC Congress (Helsinki, September 2012) and the medical department has become a member of this organization. In addition to the exchange of information on researches, the opportunity to develop common instruments and recommendations based on the railway medical scientific researches in various countries and within international scientific groups may also be very useful.
