Introduction: Diseases of the endocrine system continue to be an acute social problem for the state. The negative trend in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, as well as the increase in the number of cases among adolescents and people of working age, should be the main driver for building a sustainable health care system.

Objective: to analyze the incidence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus in the adult population of Moscow and the Russian Federation in the period 2013-2022 according to official statistics.

[THE STATUS OF THE SERVICE OF MEDICAL STATISTICS ACCORDING TO THE STAFF SURVEY RESULTS].

Inroduction: The Medical Statistics Service plays an important role in providing a medical organization with timely, high-quality statistical information. Therefore, it is important to study the opinions of specialists on the organization of this work.

Purpose: To analyze the opinions of the staff of departments (offices) of medical statistics on the current work organization.

Shock-Associated Systemic Inflammation in Amniotic Fluid Embolism, Complicated by Clinical Death.

Background: Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is one of the main causes of maternal mortality in developed countries. The most critical AFE variants may be considered from the perspective of systemic inflammation (SI), a general pathological process that includes high levels of systemic inflammatory response, neuroendocrine system distress, microthrombosis, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). This research work aimed to characterize the dynamics of super-acute SI using four clinical case studies of patients with critical AFE.

Healthcare Workers' Acceptance of COVID-19 Vaccination in Russia.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the problem of the population's adherence to vaccination has become significantly aggravated around the world. This study is aimed at evaluating healthcare workers' (HCWs) acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination in Russia. A cross-sectional multicenter study was carried out by interviewing HCWs in Russia using an electronic questionnaire and snowball sampling.

Nurses' Attitude Towards Various Hand Hygiene Products. Soap vs Antiseptics.

Background: According to the latest recommendations of WHO, in most situations requiring hands treatment, alcohol-based skin antiseptics should be used. This study is aimed to determine the awareness and preferences of nurses in the city of Moscow regarding the choice of methods regarding hand hygiene treatment and the factors influencing this choice.

Study Design: Using the specially designed questionnaire, 184 nurses working in Moscow hospitals were interviewed to find out the attitude of nurses to various methods of hand hygiene.

Schizophrenia and toxoplasmosis: association with catatonic symptoms.

Introduction: The association between schizophrenia and toxoplasmosis has been demonstrated in a number of studies: the prevalence of schizophrenia is significantly higher in toxoplasmosis positive subjects than in those with negative status. However, the clinical significance of this association remains poorly understood.

Objectives: To identify clinical phenomena that are typical for toxoplasmosis-associated ( seropositive) schizophrenia compared to Toxoplasma-seronegative schizophrenia.

Significance of chronic toxoplasmosis in epidemiology of road traffic accidents in Russian Federation.

Studies carried out in Moscow residents have revealed that the prevalence of chronic toxoplasmosis is very close to those in countries of Eastern and Central Europe. Our findings also demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between the rate of traffic accidents and the seroprevalence of chronic toxoplasmosis in drivers who were held responsible for accidents. The latter was 2.

[EXPECTED CONSEQUENCES OF TARGETED HUMAN BEHAVIOR MODULATION UPON EXPOSURE TO TOXOPLASMA GONDII].

The paper shows that there are more seropositive people in a group of those who have experienced road accidents (RA) and who are responsible for the latter than in a control group. The investigations have indicated that chronic toxoplasmosis may be regarded as a potential increased risk factor of RA.

[Complications of accelerated opioid detoxification].

All accelerated opioid detoxifications under anesthesia, which were performed at our district hospital during 3 years (1999 to 2002), have been retrospectively analyzed. A total of 48 detoxifications were made in 43 patients. Three serious complications were recorded.

[Methodological aspects of the evaluation of epidemiological safety in maternity hospitals].

The distribution of morbidity and mortality in newborns, as well as morbidity of parturient women, in maternity hospitals of Moscow official have been analyzed according to statistical data for 1996-1999. The methods of cluster analysis (k-medium and tree classification by the method of the next door neighbours) were used. The evaluation of the stability of the distribution of morbidity and mortality in maternity hospitals was made with the use of chi 2 criterion.

[Epidemiological pattern of scarlet fever in recent years].

During the period of 1953-2001 scarlet fever morbidity level fluctuated from 670.3 to 65.9 per 100,000 of the population in Moscow and from 531.

[Experience in using correlation analysis for evaluating the synchronism of the fluctuations in the level of infectious morbidity in individual areas].

The possibility of using correlation analysis for evaluating the synchronism of changes in infectious morbidity rate on different territories was studied. The study demonstrated that the intensity of correlative relationships was mainly influenced by the degree of manifestation and the direction of prolonged tendencies in the changes of infectious morbidity on the territories under study. The presence of prolonged pronounced tendencies towards growth or decrease in the compared curves characterizing prolonged morbidity dynamics was found to limit the use of correlation analysis for the evaluation of synchronism of changes in morbidity rate.

[Formation of diagnostic rules by using neural networks].

Neural networks were trained on unrepresentative patient data sets proposed by skilled clinicians. In all cases, the trained neural networks correctly classified all presented cases. There were 2 intervals introduced for encoding estimates.

[The manifestations of a scarlatina epidemic process in a large city and their interpretation].

The average morbidity level in scarlet fever for the period of 1972-1990 in Moscow was 230.9 cases per 100,000 of the population and the annual economic damage was 2-2.5 million rubles.

[Relationship between decreased presynaptic inhibition and muscle spasticity in patients with a history of cerebral insult].

Stimulation electromyography was used to study inhibition of the soleus muscle H-reflex induced by stimulation of the common peroneal nerve in healthy individuals and in patients who had underwent cerebral apoplexy. Two successive inhibition waves (D1 and D2) were recorded; the first wave demonstrated the development of presynaptic inhibition of group Ia afferent fibers. In post-insult patients the depth of inhibition diminished depending on the degree of the pathologic increase of the tonus of the skeletal musculature.

[Homosynaptic depression of the monosynaptic spinal reflex in healthy people and patients, suffering from a cerebral stroke].

Homosynaptic depression of H-reflex was studied in 25 healthy persons and 33 patients with hemiplegia. The mean duration of the homosynaptic depression in healthy persons was 5200 ms. After the initial relative facilitation the time course of the homosynaptic depression corresponded to a logarithmic function of the interval between the conditioning and testing stimuli.
