[Therapeutic areas of the Republic of Tyva]. / Lechebno-ozdorovitel'nye mestnosti Respubliki Tyva.

The need to expand the resort and recreational potential in the Siberian Federal District is due to the growing need for sanatorium treatment and rehabilitation of the population. Balneological studies conducted in different regions of Siberia make it possible to position these territories as promising for resort and recreational activities. OBJECTIVE: Comprehensive integral assessment of the resort and recreational potential of the treatment areas of the Republic of Tyva. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Taking into account the requirements of the guidelines "Bioclimatic passport of the medical and recreational areas" No. 96/226, approved by the Ministry of Health of Russia on February 7, 1997, an integral medical and climatic assessment of the territories of the medical and recreational areas of the Republic of Tyva was carried out. The assessment of the quality of water resources was carried out in accordance with the criteria of the methodological recommendations "Control of the quality and safety of mineral waters by chemical and microbiological indicators" No. 96/225, approved by the Ministry of Health of Russia on 07.04.1997. The typification of water resources is given in accordance with GOST R 54316-2011 "Natural mineral drinking waters". RESULTS: The territory of the Republic of Tyva has the richest reserves of unique therapeutic hydro-mineral resources, and the existing features of landscape and climatic conditions determine the prospects for their widespread use. The surveyed areas are located on mid-mountain and low-mountain landscapes with favorable bioclimatic conditions for the organization of climate treatment and recreation, especially in the warm season. The prospects for the development of climate-balneological and climate-mud resorts in Tuva are shown, especially in terms of medical and health tourism. CONCLUSION: A detailed database has been developed on the components of the resort and recreational potential (bioclimate, mineral waters, therapeutic mud) of the treatment areas of Tuva. The data obtained formed the basis of proposals for updating the register of resorts and health-improving areas of the Siberian Federal District, which is formed on the basis of the results of many years of research.

[The role of mud-forming microflora in the generation of biological activity of therapeutic peloids from Siberia].

The authors report the results of comprehensive evaluation of medicinal salt-saturated silt sulfide peloids from the bottom deposits of several lakes in the Novosibirsk and Altai regions. These peloids are extensively used for therapeutic and recreational purposes and appear to have good prospects for even a wider application in the future. The role of autochthonous microflora in the formation of peloid biological activities and antimicrobial properties has been elucidated. Information about the sanitary, microbiological and environmental situation in the areas of peloid deposits is presented.. The therapeutic efficacy of the sulfide peloids extracted from Lake Ostrovnoye, Novosibisk region, is discussed.
