[Time aspects of short-latency acoustic evoked potentials in cleaners-up after the Chernobyl AES accident who have voice disorders].
Brain stem SLAEP were compared to EEG readings in patients with vocal problems consequent to low-dose radiation received after the Chernobyl accident. Versus control subjects, the patients had significantly (p < 0.01) longer latent periods of SLAEP waves 11 and V as well as the interpeak interval I-V. EEG findings indicated in patients changes in the diencephalic and diencephalic-stem regions, CNS dysfunction in the form of cortical structure irritation in the presence of low cerebral bioelectric activity. As shown by objective methods, the above patients with vocal problems have CNS disorders. This should be taken into consideration in planning treatment and incapacity decisions for such subjects.
