Model-Based Assessment of the Reference Values of CAVI in Healthy Russian Population and Benchmarking With CAVI0.

Background: Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and its modified version (CAVI0) are promising non-invasive markers of arterial stiffness, extensively evaluated primarily in the Japanese population. In this work, we performed a model-based analysis of the association between different population characteristics and CAVI or CAVI0 values in healthy Russian subjects and propose a tool for calculating the range of reference values for both types of indices.

Methods: The analysis was based on the data from 742 healthy volunteers (mean age 30.

[Possibilities of application of modern training methods (project activities) in training health care organizers on the example of a military medical educational organization].

The efficiency of health care and the quality of medical care can be improved by implementing modern management methods and technologies. It requires modern and high-quality training of medical management personnel. Qualified personnel are the key factor in the organization and transformation of the health system.

[Non-infectious morbidity in the Armed Forces (a review on results of the round table in the State Duma)].

The article presents the results of the medical service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on prevention of non-infectious diseases among the military, the results reported on May 12, 2016 at the meeting of the Committee for the Protection of Health of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. Attention paid to the fact that the Armed Forces are an integral part of society and the state, and therefore the negative trend in the health status of the population are also reflected in the troops. In the common-ness of non-communicable diseases in the Armed Forces have an influence, especially of military service.

[Stiffness of the arterial wall and predicted vascular age as a predictor of cardiovascular disease when stress-induced hypertension in the military personnel].

Stiffness of the arterial wall and predicted vascular age as a predictor of cardiovascular disease when stress-induced hypertension in the military personnel. On the basis of the study of 156 men aged 30-55 years are considered diagnostic methods for stress-induced hypertension in the military personnel. Furthermore, using modern diagnostic methods determined stress effect on the development of stress-induced hypertension, and also the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

[Pecularities of organisation and health care delivery to military servicemen under conditions of mid- and high mountains].

The authors present an analysis of adverse climatic factors mid- and high mountains, which have a significant negative impact on fighting facility and capacity for work in military servicemen that may cause an acute mountain sickness and severe complications (high altitude pulmonary edema and high-altitude cerebral edema). Complicated mechanisms of organism disorder are shown. Sophisticated medical and tactical factors of mountain theatre of war, defining the nature of actions of troops, require special approaches to organisation of medical support.
