An analysis of publications has shown that mechanically clamped indexable inserts are predominantly used in modern tool manufacturing. Each insert has its shape and geometry in the tool coordinate system. The static system’s required geometry is achieved by the tilting of the insert pocket in the radial and axial directions. Therefore, it is of great importance in the tool design to know the relationships between the insert’s geometry parameters in the tool coordinate system where the geometry paraments of the insert are defined and working geometry parameters of the tool defined in the static coordinate system. The paper presents the developed methodology for determining the insert pocket base surface position to ensure the required values of the tool geometry parameters of the selected indexable insert in the static coordinate system. The graphs of the dependence of each of the angles of the insert geometry on the angles of rotation of this insert in the front and profile planes are presented as the level lines for practical use. Using these graphs, one can optimize all geometric insertion parameters in the static coordinate system. The model of the calculations of the mechanism of the insert clamping by a screw is developed. The basic size and tolerance of the output link determine the distance from the intersection line of the base surfaces to the thread axis on the pocket and the minimum amount of the screw stroke on the insert clamping in the pocket.

Reconstructive plastic (n = 24) and repair operations (n = 23) on the colon were performed in 47 patients at Coloproctology Research Center (Moscow). The patients were divided into 2 groups administered different anesthesias and postoperative analgesias: total intravenous anesthesia (TIA) and combined epidural anesthesia (CEA). Adequate analgesia by CEA and early activation of patients after the operation promoted earlier (by 2 days) recovery of the motor function of the intestine than after TIA and traditional intramuscular analgesia with a narcotic analgetic. CEA ensured complete blocking of nociceptive pulsation and neurovegetative protection a with lower doses of narcotics during the postoperative period and can be used in this type of operations and postoperative management. CEA prevented gastrointestinal pareses, improved microcirculation and metabolic processes at the zone of intervention, and decreased the incidence of postoperative complications.

The paper provides the results of a prospective epidemiological study of the prevalence of arterial hypertension in three populations: Chukotka's aborigines and migrants and a Novosibirsk's population. The most unfavourable epidemiological situation for arterial hypertension was found to be in migrant males aged 30-59 years. A medical examination is proposed among young migrants in the first years of adaptation in the North.

In the random sample of 762 males aged 30-59 years who had moved to Chukotka, the attitude towards their health, a physician, bad habits, and prevention of diseases was examined within the Programme on Epidemiology of Major Non-Communicable Diseases and Their Risk Factors among the residents of the Chukotsky Autonomous District. The non-aboriginal Chukotka's population having higher risk factors showed decreased self-appraisal of their health, inadequate awareness of their health and risk factors for diseases. However, the majority of the male population consider it useful to be surveyed, which should be borne in mind in implementing educational measures among these population groups.
