[The determinants of vaccination against the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) of residents of the circumpolar region of Russia].

The maintenance of health of residents of the Northern Regions of Russia, including those living in the Arctic zone of the cbountry, is a condition of its advance development in XXI century. The percentage of Russian citizen vaccinated against the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) does not exceed 50% after beginning of implementation of vaccination program. It can be conditioned by lower level of both of credence of citizen to health care system and health literacy.Purpose of the study is to establish determinants of vaccination of population against COVID-19 in circumpolar region of Russia as exemplified by the Arkhangelsk Oblast.The sociological survey was carried out using the interview technique of patients of medical organizations (n=433) and conditionally healthy residents of the Arkhangelsk Oblast (n=139). To evaluate the level of general health literacy the Russian version of questionnaire HLS19 - Q22-RU was applied. The most of conditionally healthy respondents and consumers of medical services looked for information about methods of prevention and treatment (80.4% and 58.2% correspondingly), had an experience of vaccination against COVID-19 (79% and 56.3% correspondingly). The relative chances of conditionally healthy respondents, women, and respondents having no children and no credence to national health care system to independently look for information related to COVID-19 is higher at 2.94, 2.08, 1.55 and 1.48-1.57 times correspondingly. The relative chances of conditionally healthy respondents having no children in family and assessing one's economic status as "higher than average" to be vaccinated against COVID-19 is higher at 4.02, 1.52, 1.53 times correspondingly. Availability of experience of vaccination against COVID-19 is conditioned by higher level of general health literacy.In the Arkhangelsk Oblast and other circumpolar regions of Russia the programs of increasing loyalty of citizen to measures of population prevention, including vaccine prevention, is to be implemented with consideration of established determinants of of vaccinations against COVID-19.

[The dynamics of demographic situation and state of reproductive health of population of circumpolar region of the Russian Federation].

The priority of state policy of the Russian Federation is to make conditions for sustainable social economic development of national regions, including the territories of the Arctic Zone. The successful solution of these tasks is possible only if there is sufficient amount of labor resources and at achieving positive dynamics of main demographic processes. The purpose of the study is to establish characteristics of both dynamics of main demographic processes and reproductive health of Northerners as exemplified by the Republic of Komi. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The retrospective ecological epidemiological study was carried out using reports of the Federal statistical observation. To evaluate demographic processes the values of main demographic parameters were calculated. To analyze dynamics of demographic processes time series of demographic coefficients were constructed and values of growth rate indicators were calculated. RESULTS: The number of male and female population of the Komi Republic in 1990-2023 decreased by 46.5% and 37.1%. The specific weight of people older than able-bodied age increased in males from 4.9% to 14.7% and in females from 15.7% to 31.6%. The number of females of fertile age (16-49 years) in the Komi Republic decreased by 152.602 people (-47.5%) and their general fertility rate decreased by 33.3%. The birth rate in the group of young women aged 15-19 years decreased in 1990-2021 by 80.1%; and of women aged 20-24 years decreased by 60.4%. The frequency of abortions tends to decrease, but significantly exceeds the national average values. CONCLUSION: The replacement-level fertility is not achieved in the Komi Republic. Taking into account the peculiarities of demographic, social economic processes, it is necessary to develop and to implement regional program of reproductive health improvement.

[Leukocytic reaction of peripheral blood in patients who died at different stages of myocardial infarction]. / Leikotsitarnye reaktsii perifericheskoi krovi u bol'nykh infarktom miokarda, umershikh v raznye sroki zabolevaniia.

Peripheral leucocyte changes were studied in diseased myocardial infarction patients. Disorders of blood and infarcted-area leucocyte kinetics were shown to be prominent among cardiac and extracardiac causes of death from myocardial infarction. Their control may provide a method of pathogenetic treatment for the disease.

Use of nitroglycerin in the treatment of acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock in patients with myocardial infarction.

The effectiveness of nitroglycerin in the treatment of acute heart failure was investigated in 100 patients with myocardial infarction. It was found that nitroglycerin has marked advantages in comparison with cardiac glycosides both as regards its effectiveness and as regards the character of its action on the haemodynamics and the state of the periinfarction zone. In most patients (78%), a favourable effect was attained with intravenous nitroglycerin administration and with additional intake in the form of tablets. Clinical improvement was preceded by normalization of pulmonary artery pressure. Uninterrupted nitroglycerin administration was terminated after normalization and stabilization of haemodynamics. The results showed that with monitoring haemodynamics nitroglycerin can be administered also in haemodynamic disorders, which occur in the early period of cardiogenic shock.
