Most of the military conflicts in the last decades with participation of the Armed forces of our country took place in the mountain landscape, namely Afghanistan, counterterrorist operations in the Northern Caucasus, peacemaking missions in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The warriors passed through «trouble spots» know that a war in mountains is not the same as a war in plain and it requires special preparation. It is necessary to take into consideration factors of climate and geography which influence medical provision in mountains as well as sanitary casualty’s formation and mode of evacuation and treatment. Based on literature data, the historical facts of warfare conduction in mountains were presented. Factors of climate and geography adversely affected the human health during warfare conduction in mountains. The analysis of the mountain training medical provision organization was carried out. Based on that some proposals for improvement of mountain training medical provision of military personnel of the Armies forces of the Russian Federation were formulated

The review presents the recent data on genetic reasons of sudden cardiac death. Mutations discuss in gens associated with sudden cardiac death. Channalopathies, such as Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, short QT syndrome and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia are characterized by arrhythmias in normal heart resulting from genetic anomalies in ion channels

Objective. The aim of the study was to compare the morphometric parameters of echocardiography in a normally occurring pregnancy. Comparison of the obtained data with the data of heart measurement in children perinatally perished, as well as the analysis of the mass indexes of the fetus and placenta in healthy fetuses and fetuses perinatally lost. Materials and methods. We analyzed 94 protocols for the investigation of post-mortem and the protocols for autopsy of fetuses and newborn infants perinatal in various maternity hospitals in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region (group 1). The control group 2 consisted of 12 patients who were registered for pregnancy, were examined according to the usual pattern, later they had urgent deliveries to healthy newborns, the histological structure of the placenta was represented by reactive and compensatory-adaptive changes characteristic of the placenta of the normal structure. Patients of control group 2 underwent evaluation of echocardiograms obtained during the third screening test during pregnancy, performed at the time of 32-34 weeks. Control group 3 included 335 observations of full term pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of a healthy fetus. In this group, an analysis was made of the mass indexes of the fetus, placenta, and the integral index of the placental-fetal ratio. Results of the study. Massometric parameters of the fetus, placenta and integral index of the placental-fetal ratio in the patients of the main and control groups were analyzed. Typical changes in the weight of the placenta and placental-fetal ratio in patients with perinatal fetal death were determined. Opportunities were identified for risk groups for perinatal fetal death according to the analysis of the sonocardiogram. Conclusion. 8 conclusions are presented that represent the possibility of predicting perinatal losses depending on the size of the placenta, placental-fetal ratio, the isolation of risk groups for perinatal fetal death according to the data of sonocardiography

In accordance with the organizational and legal framework preventing soldiers of diseases caused by water factors, presented the direction and content of medical control and the state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance of water supply in areas of permanent deployment of troops. Substantiated basic preventive control function of the medical service of military units and sanitary facilities on the design, construction, acceptance and operation of water supply facilities in the military towns. The attention is focused on the prognostic role of hygienic diagnostics in relation to troops water supply. Televisions perspective directions of information-analytical support of public health monitoring and hygienic diagnostics in medical monitoring of water supply of military towns

A unique location of the sanatorium in the city of Sestroretsk, close to the Gulf of Finland and lake Sestroretsky Spill. The article deals with the healing effects of sea air, obtaining medical procedures for the rehabilitation of servicemen, pensioners of the Ministry of defense, civil personnel of the Ministry of defense and others. In 2018, the branch “Sanatorium «Tarhovsky»” part of the Sanatorium complex “Zapadny” will celebrate its anniversary - 85 years (4 figs, bibliography: 1 ref.).

This article is the last completed work of the famous historian, doctor of historical Sciences, Professor of St. Petersburg state University Yuri G. Alekseev. XI century. In Russia ended the great era. Yesterday’s pagan Russia is consecrated by the light of Orthodoxy. There comes a time of Yaroslav’s sons the inheritors of a great epoch. Leadership ability and activity of Vladimir Monomakh - the pinnacle of martial arts of Ancient (pre-Mongolian) Russia.
