РАБОТА СОТРУДНИКОВ ОТДЕЛЕНИЯ ОТОРИНОЛАРИНГОЛОГИИ КРОНШТАДТСКОГО ГОСПИТАЛЯ В ГОДЫ ВЕЛИКОЙ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННОЙ ВОЙНЫ

Several years have already passed after the seventieth anniversary of German fascism ruining by Red Army and the Navy fleet of theUSSR, which withstood most of the burden imposed by World War II on nations involved in it. There is now no Nazi Germany; however, the tragedy that the human race suffered because of fascism will long be in spotlight for history and military science. Military medicine, in particular Navy, will too learn much from what was happening then. One of the aspects of the history of Navy medicine relates to the prominent constellation of navy doctors who were fulfilling their duties at Lenin Order Navy Hospital No. 35. Their deserves, which were honored with numerous national and governmental rewards, are addressed in the present paper.Стремительный бег времени уже несколько лет как преодолел седьмое десятилетие с того дня, когда немецко-фашистский режим рухнул под ударами Красной Армии и Военно-Морского Флота Советского Союза, вынесшего основную тяжесть войны. Больше нет нацисткой Германии, но пережитая человечеством трагедия, в которую его вверг фашизм, еще долго будет привлекать пристальное внимание историков, представителей разных военно-прикладных наук, стремящихся извлечь уроки из пережитого прошлого. В этом стремлении особое место принадлежит военной медицине, в частности военно-морской медицине. Одна из страниц истории морской медицины посвящена военно-морской медицине и плодотворной деятельности замечательной плеяды военно-морских врачей 35 Военно-морского ордена Ленина госпиталя, чьи особые заслуги в организации помощи раненым и больным и их лечению в годы Великой Отечественной войны были отмечены высокими государственными и правительственными наградами. О работе отделения оториноларингологии 35 ВМОЛГ и пойдет речь в данной статье.</p

РУКОВОДЯЩИЙ СОСТАВ ХИРУРГИЧЕСКИХ ОТДЕЛЕНИЙ КРОНШТАДТСКОГО ГОСПИТАЛЯ В ГОДЫ ВЕЛИКОЙ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННОЙ ВОЙНЫ

Human history knows no other such tough time but that fell to the lot of Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War. But also it doesn’t know such common heroism, courage and win to victory that Soviet people showed fighting in fields and behind enemy lines every day. It stands to mention selfless work of military medicine. Surgeons and organizers of medical service for wounded were the most essential people that time. Collective of 35-th Kronstadt Naval Hospital that worked on island Cotlin was also in difficult conditions. There was no communication with scientific and educational health care institutions, therefore military medicine had to work in severe conditions of blockade. Surgeon service of Kronstadt Naval Hospital performed a mission properly. Dozens of thousands wounded and sick were kept going and their health recovered. This article is devoted to scientific, clinical and organizational activities of heads of surgery departments of Kronstadt Naval Hospital who worked during the war. Their contribution to the development of native military medicine is shown in the article.Такого тяжкого испытания, какое выпало на долю советского народа в годы Великой Отечественной войны, история человечества больше не знает. Не знает она и такого героизма, мужества и воли к победе, которые были проявлены на полях сражений, в тылу. Стоит отметить самоотверженную работу военной медицины. Одними из главных фигур в тот период были хирурги и организаторы хирургической помощи раненым. В трудных условиях оказался и коллектив 35 Военно-морского госпиталя в Кронштадте. У него не было необходимой связи с научными и учебными медицинскими учреждениями, работать приходилось в непростых условиях блокады. Хирургическая служба Кронштадтского госпиталя достойно выполнила поставленные перед ней задачи. Десяткам тысяч раненых и больных была сохранена жизнь и восстановлено здоровье. Данная статья посвящена научной, клинической и организаторской деятельности руководителей хирургических отделений, военно-морским хирургам Кронштадтского госпиталя, которые работали в годы войны. Показан их вклад в развитие отечественной военной медицины

The peripartum human brain: Current understanding and future perspectives

The peripartum period offers a unique opportunity to improve our understanding of how dramatic fluctuations in endogenous ovarian hormones affect the human brain and behavior. This notwithstanding, peripartum depression remains an underdiagnosed and undertreated disorder. Here, we review recent neuroimaging findings with respect to the neuroplastic changes in the maternal brain during pregnancy and the postpartum period. We seek to provide an overview of multimodal neuroimaging designs of current peripartum depression models of hormone withdrawal, changes in monoaminergic signaling, and maladaptive neuroplasticity, which likely lead to the development of a condition that puts the lives of mother and infant at risk. We discuss the need to effectively integrate the available information on psychosocial and neurobiological risk factors contributing to individual vulnerability. Finally, we propose a systematic approach to neuroimaging the peripartum brain that acknowledges important co-morbidities and variation in disease onset

Pandemic-induced increase in adjustment disorders among postpartum women in Germany

Abstract Background The current paper analyzed the effect of the pandemic-induced lockdown on maternal mental health during the first 12 postpartum weeks in Germany. Methods In this cohort study, we compared the participants’ anamnestic backgrounds and the results of psychological tests, measuring stress levels, depressive symptoms and attachment. The 327 participants were divided into two groups with one representing the “pre-COVID” sample and the other the “lockdown” sample. We performed multiple comparisons, investigating the distribution of diagnoses and the correlating risk profiles between the two cohorts. Results Our analysis showed a significant difference between the two cohorts, with a 13.2% increase in the prevalence of adjustment disorders (AD), but not postpartum depression (PPD), in the first 12 weeks postpartum. However, during the pandemic, women with AD had fewer risk factors compared to their pre-pandemic counterparts. In the “lockdown” cohort, a tendency toward higher stress and lower mother-child attachment was observed in AD. Conclusions In sum, we observed some negative impact of the pandemic on maternal mental health. The lockdown might have contributed to an increase in the number of cases involving AD in the postpartum period. The prevalence of PPD (ca. 6–10%), on the other hand, was not affected by the lockdown. Thus, the effect of COVID-19 on maternal mental health might not, after all, have been as severe as assumed at the beginning of the pandemic
