In 1972, Efim Liberman, a Soviet biophysicist, pioneered a brand-new approach to studying the operation of the brain, the live cell and the human mind by publishing a paper titled "Cell as a molecular computer" (1972). In this paper, Liberman posited that a consecutive/parallel stochastic molecular computer (MCC) controls a living cell. An MCC operates with molecule-words (DNA, RNA, proteins) according to the program recorded in DNA and RNA.

He named it Chaimatics and suggested its generalization to the ultimate all-encompassing theory that unites biology, physics and mathematics.

High importance of the remote health monitoring (RHM) especially during and after the pandemic is accentuated in this article. It is displayed that by this way it is possible to revealing automatically situations "suspicious" from the COVID-19 illness view point for some concrete patients and also to keep up with possible complications after the illness. Another great opportunity of the RHM is connected with investigation of the vaccines.

Methods: This population-based case-control study estimated breast cancer risk after ∼25 years' exposure to radiation from the Chernobyl accident. Cases (n = 468) were women ≤55 years old when first diagnosed with invasive breast cancer during October 2008 through February 2013, who lived in Bryansk Oblast, Russia at the time of the accident and their diagnoses.
Diagnostic games were developed in the 70s of the last century for elicitation and formalization of the physician's clinical experience. This laborious technique was successfully used to elaborate decision rules for several complex clinical problems but had no further development. Modern information and communication technologies and achievements of medical informatics allow developing digital transformation of diagnostic games.

Living systems inhabit the area of the world which is shaped by the predictable space-time of physical objects and forces that can be incorporated into their perception pattern. The process of selecting a "habitable" space-time is the internal quantum measurement in which living systems become embedded into the environment that supports their living state. This means that living organisms choose a coordinate system in which the influence of measurement is minimal.

Besides these semiotic features that are attributable to the basic structure of the genetic code, the principle of generativity of genetic language is important for understanding biological transformations. The problem of generativity in genetic systems arises to a possibility of different interpretations of genetic texts, and corresponds to what Alexander von Humboldt called "the infinite use of finite means".
