Comparative Study[Health status of adolescents taught by the school-higher educational establishment curriculum].
The paper deals with problems in teaching adolescents at different levels of education (medical lyceum--higher educational establishment (HEE)). Their health status, functional changes that can vary with the pattern of training are comprehensively assessed. The school-HEE program was found to be effective as the high progress of lyceum students causes worse health. The students' high process and low morbidity within an academic year is suggestive of their rapid adaptation to HEE studies.

Comparative Study[Study of the impact of experimental curriculum education on the health status of gymnasium students].
The intensified innovative curriculum at new type schools (gymnasia) has no negative impact on pupil's health provided that an educational process is correctly designed and there is sufficient motor activity. Traditional health indices of a children's collective body, such as physical development, morbidity, etc.) are a reliable criterion for the realization of their adaptive capacities under the influence of unfavorable environmental factors.

Comparative Study[Viral pollution of drinking water in industrial towns of Eastern Siberia].
The drinking water was tested for viruses in the industrial towns of Eastern Siberia. The findings suggest that extremely poor provision with good quality drinking water is seen in the town of Ust-Ilimsk where there were high levels of pathogenic viruses in the water. The high contamination of drinking water with hepatitis A virus and rotavirus is a cause of higher incidence of intestinal viral infections in the areas under study.
