The role of schools for patients in secondary prevention of arterial hypertension

Aim: to study the effectiveness of in-depth preventive counseling as one of the forms of information and training technologies for prevention of hypertension. Material and Methods. On the basis of the district hospitals of the Saratov region the analysis of volume and quality of preventive work in the group of persons with risk factors under investigation in the study of prevention and patients with arterial hypertension trained in Health School. Results. Analysis of the effectiveness of Schools for patients with arterial hypertension showed an increase in the number of people achieving the target blood pressure level from 32 to 42% and reducing the number of patients hospitalized for hypertensive crises, in comparison with the previous year by 22%. Conclusion. Schools for patients with arterial hypertension teach patients to correct risk factors and to control their disease.</p

Patterns in training primary care medical specialists: from traditional medicine to modern general practice

Phases in the system of development of medical practices in Russia have allocated. The historical overview of the formation and development of traditional medicine has been presented in the article. The characteristic features that form the concept of the development of primary health care have been listed. The analysis of experience of traditional medical school has become necessary for improving organization of public medicine in Russia

Glaciochemical reconnaissance of a new ice core from Severnaya Zemlya

A deep ice core has been drilled on the Akademii Nauk ice cap, Severnaya Zemlya. High resolution chemical analyses has been carried out for the upper 53m of this ice core to study its potential as an atmospheric aerosol archive despite strong melt water percolation. These records show that a seasonal atmospheric signal cannot be deduced. However, strong year to year variations have allowed the core to be dated, and a mean annual net mass balance of 0.46 m water equivalent per yearcould be deduced. The chemical signature of an extraordinary high peak in electrical conductivity at 26m depth pointed clearly to the eruption of Bezymianny, Kamtchatka, in 1956. However, in general, peaks in the electrical conductivity are not necessarily related to deposition of volcanogenic sulfur aerosol. In contrast, maximum sulfate and nitrate concentrations in the ice could be related to maximum SO2 and NOx anthropogenic emissions in the 1970s, probably caused by the nickel and copper producing industries in Norilsk and on the Kola Peninsula or by industrial combustion processes occurring in the Siberian Arctic. In addition, during recent decades sulfate and nitrate concentrations declined by 80% and 60% respectively reflecting a decrease in anthropogenic pollution of the Arctic basin

Training models of primary care medical specialists

Conventional and innovative pedagogical technologies are two intercommunicative aspects of the common specialists' professional educational process and specific stages to highly professional skills. The role of pedagogues has been determined to be very significant as they should distinctly define each pedagogical technologies proportion ratio to promote stable work of graduates from higher medical educational institutions

Modern innovative pedagogical technologies in training primary care physicians

Training primary care physicians and general practitioners/family doctors is performed at different departments of Saratov State Medical University: Ambulatory Care, Polyclinic Therapy and Family Medicine. Since the foundation of department of Polyclinic Therapy, traditional training in polyclinic therapy has been carried out in different directions: outpatient therapy for the general practitioners/family doctors, for the 6th-year students of the Therapeutic faculty, for the 4th-year students of the Medico-prophylactic faculty, and for the 4th-year students of faculty of higher nursing professional education. In the recent years, the educational system is being reformed, so it has led to some changes in all fields of education in general. Innovative technologies, such as multimedia lectures, seminars, discussions, round tables, self-study with the use of different information resources, making out presentations of clinical cases, making reports and discussions in groups, carrying out mini-conferences, role model and business games for the primary care physicians, are introduced to the modern educational process. Therefore it is of high priority to use not only traditional education in the training of a general practitioner, but innovative technologies as well, which can guarantee high level of education and professional developmen
