[THE ASSESSMENT OF THE RESEARCH POTENTIAL OF THE AMBULATORY-POLYCLINICAL INSTITUTIONS OF THE MOSCOW HEALTHCARE SYSTEM].

Scientific research and their inclusion in the health care system is an important part of modern medical science. To study the readiness of primary care physicians as well as administration staff to introduce a research component into the national health care system, "The Research Institute for Healthcare Organization and Medical Management of Moscow Healthcare Department" conducted an online survey of two groups of respondents - physicians of primary care settings (n = 593) and heads of outpatient clinics in Moscow (n = 168) in 2021. The results of the study show the insufficient involvement of primary care doctors in research activities in their working places: more than half do not consider scientific activities as a priority, motivating it by the lack of conditions, practical skills, age and health status as well as high level of employment, although they do not reject it in the future. Heads of Moscow primary health care settings demonstrate similar answers. According to their opinion, research activities are poorly represented in organizations of this type, and most likely the situation will not be changed in the near future; about half do not have sufficient information about the number of employees engaged in scientific work and are rarely familiar with their topics (often extensive, represented by various fields of medicine); about one third of managers reported participating in research projects of Moscow City Department of Health. The study made it possible to identify barriers that prevent the introduction of research components into the activities of Moscow primary health care organizations, which should be taken into account when making managerial decisions.

Oral medical dissolution of gallstones in patients with gallstone disease

Being the main treatment for cholelithiasis, laparoscopic cholecystectomy does not always solve the problem. It often entails postcholecystectomy syndrome (PCS). Oral medication to dissolve gallstones with bile acids is alternative therapy for some patients. However, lack of efficacy and limited medical indications make it necessary to apply combination treatment tactics. This study was conducted to investigate the dissolution of gallstones during the combined effects of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and rosuvastatin as well as to assess the results of eradication therapy in the presence of H. pylory as a measure to prevent cholelithiasis in the course of treatment.
