ABSTRACT
The article is devoted to the experience of airmedical evacuation struck during operations in territory of the Chechen Republic of 1999-2002. We consider, that optimal medical-evacuation system in local wars, local fight actions and battles consists only two stages, then victim after first physician aid is evacuated to specialized medical unit. Own experience of preflight preparation and support is generalized and analysed at carrying out of airmedical evacuation of 928 critically wounded patients and the struck on tactical, operative and strategic levels during a confrontation in territory of the Chechen Republic (1999-2002).

Modern medicine considers the tobacco smoking to be the chronic poisoning that has the mass character. The experience of many years shows that sanitary-and-educational measures explaining the injurious effect of tobacco smoking in some cases give no positive results. Convincing pedagogical influence together with experimental investigations make the struggle against smoking more effective. Use of the portable personal device "Manual on medicine" reveals the mechanism of protective action of filtering materials and demonstrates the clinical picture of acute intoxication caused by toxic gases of tobacco smoke.

The injuries of pelvis and pelvic organs remain one of the difficult problems of surgery in military and peace-time. The detection of pathologic changes in the cases of pelvic traumas depends on the time, quality and volume of radial investigations. The rule that any pelvic injury is considered as the complicated one until the opposite will be proved determines the diagnostic algorithm of roentgenologic examination, and the contrast methods are of great importance. The perspective method of for investigating the casualties with severe combined pelvic trauma is the spiral computed tomography. The investigation of casualties with pelvis and pelvic organ traumas must be conducted at the shortest periods after the trauma using the whole complex of radial investigative methods both the conventional roentgenologic and imaging methods.

For the first time the possibility of the interaction of phages and bacterial cells in the environment, consisting in the adsorption and subsequent replication of viral particles, has been shown. The data obtained in this investigation provide grounds for using phages in the environment. Experiments with Escherichia coli M-17 and phage FM17, carried out on experimental models, have demonstrated that the use of phages in the environment completely prevents the realization of the transfer of enteral infections through everyday contacts and the contamination of children and adults under hospital conditions.
