Motion  disease (naupathia, seasickness) is quite prevalent among otherwise healthy people  and  is manifested as travel sickness associated with  nausea. It  is a complex physiological response to certain motor stimuli caused by  ship  rocking, aircraft  swinging or  zero  gravity.  The  motor stimuli may  be  both  real (ship  rocking) and  virtual (watching a 3D movie).  During the  last  decade, numerous studies addressed different stimuli that can  cause naupathia, and  numerous hypotheses have been  put  forward to explain it (sensory conflict,  postural instability etc.) from  the  point of view  of neural plasticity. However, no consensus concerning the  origin  of the  specific  clinical  pattern of naupathia (nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dysphoria etc.) has emerged by now. Several drugs and  behavioral recommendations have been  suggested for  prevention and  treatment of naupathia. Further studies of this  condition using such  techniques as videonystagmography and  computer-assisted posturegraphy, as well  as genetic analysis, are  warranted. 

The  diagnostic effectiveness of clinical, laboratory, instrumental, and  surgical methods of diagnostics of internal organs injuries upon  abdominal wounds and  traumas is considered. Most  injured patients (68,1%) were found on admission to exhibit «dim” clinical  manifestations of hemorrhage or peritonitis. Only  31,9% of patients exhibit clear  symptoms of injuries of their abdominal organs. However, the  clinical  pictures did not always corresponded to the  symptoms. Overdiagnoses based on clinical data were attributed to 51,2% of cases. The sensitivity, specificity, and  accuracy of ultrasonic diagnostics of intraperitoneal hemorrhages were estimated to be 51,2%, 88,1%, and  80% respectively. The  proposed approach to diagnostics of injuries implies direct laparoscopy when general anesthesia and  the  instrumental methods of investigation are  impracticable. The  benefits of this  approach include its high  diagnostic effectiveness, relative simplicity, minimal demands for  instruments and  equipment, and  the  possibility to carry out  outdoor examinations, if necessary. As an alternative to laparoscopy, laparocentesis may  be employed, if time  is pressing and  facilities are  scarce.

The  objective of the  present paper is to evaluate the  psychophysiological adaptation of freshmen to studying at Pacific  State Medical  University. The  habituation of freshmen to education is the  first and  most important task  of higher school. The  complexity and  specific  features of medical training present special challenges to  psychophysiological adaptation, which  warrant developing a dedicated training program. Its  outcomes were assessed using parameters that reflect the  general state, activity and  mood  as well as stress resistance and  socialization of freshmen and  subjected to statistical treatment. The  training program was  developed to teach techniques and  methods of self-regulation to freshmen thus making them able  to control their emotional and  physical conditions in professionally and  vitally important situations. 

The  present publication sheds light on  the  operation of Naval  Hospital affiliated with  a remote Vladimiro-Olginskiy Garrison. The  work of medical units of this  remote hospital is described. The  history of the  establishment and  development of the  medical services of this  stand-alone garrison is reviewed with emphasis on provisioning it with  all sorts of allowances. The  topics  addressed include the  life and  work of officers, workers and  clerks,  public  events, research activities, and  healthcare provision to military and common people  in Olginskiy District of Primorskiy Region.

The  article discusses the  history of the  formation of the  clinic  and  the  Department of Otolaryngology Pacific  Medical  University, since  1963 and  the  present day. The  information about the  first head of the department Vitaly  Matveyevich Schevtsove, thanks to the  enthusiasm and  energy that the  clinic started a scientific, methodical, erudite and  educational and  medical work.  The  contribution of the  leaders in the development of the  hospital, its main  stages, scientific achievements, defended dissertations and  published training manuals. Reflected work student circle,  the  possibility of using multimedia technologies, endoscopic and  microsurgical opportunities in the  educational process. It is shown that significant attention in the  clinic  of  ENT  diseases Pacific  Medical  University devoted to  the  provision of  specialized medical care,  a high  level  which  makes it possible to consider this  institution undisputed leader providing ENT care  in the  Primorsky Territory and  the  Far  East.

Measures taken at State Sanitary and  Epidemiological Surveillance Centers of the  Ministry of Health of the  Russian Federation to control the  sanitary and  epidemiological safety of the  armed forces and  general population help  to  reveal administrative offences by  officials  and  juridical entities prone with  hazards for  the  life and  health of military men.  Most  of the  offences are  associated with  services related to the conditions of military barracks and  their vicinities and  to food  processing. The  corresponding penalties according to the  Code of Administrative Offences (COA) include fines  and  warnings. However, more  than 90% of such  cases  are  complained at arbitral or appellate courts. The  present publication presents an experience suggesting how  to  deal  with  such  cases  so as  to  prevent unjustified avoidance and  delays of due  penalties.
