The Magnetic Field

This paper analyzes the causes and patterns of primary disability in the persons of working age residing in areas with high magnetic background. Increasing the magnetic field is considered on the example of the changes generated by the Kursk magnetic anomaly. It is shown that the existing legal framework in the provision of medical care, medico-social examination and rehabilitation in Russia needs to be revised, with accentuation on the region of residence of patients, especially its geographical status, complex ecological situation. The authors noted that there is need for more effective, coordinated work of medical-social examination and outpatient health care services under the rehabilitation of persons with disabilities. Malignant neoplasms, cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal and nervous systems, cerebrovascular pathology are leading nosological group of diseases with a high risk of disability in persons residing in the area of the magnetic field. Conducted medical examination in recent years of the population allowed, as one of the reasons to reduce the number of persons who received a disability for diseases of the circulatory system -is one of the most common socially significant diseases.

Modern approaches to protecting public health in the world are increasingly guided by the concept of preventable loss of health, which provides for the concentration of health efforts on the prevention of morbidity and disability. The nosological spectrum of causes of disability includes a large list of diseases, among which the leading ones are chronic non-communicable diseases, which are characterized by an epidemic type of spread. The highest level of disability is observed in connection with diseases of the circulatory system, malignant neoplasms, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. Of the total number of citizens recognized as disabled, a significant number are disabled people of the first and second groups. The significance of the disability problem is aggravated by the special demographic situation of the "aging" of the population, which is associated with the accumulation of pathology of various major body systems. Persistent dysfunctions of the body due to diseases, consequences of injuries and defects can lead to disabilities. The development of the UN international legal framework (UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, "International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health") contributed to the formation of social policy in Russia aimed at protecting the rights of persons with disabilities. Medical and social rehabilitation and habilitation of persons with disabilities is the basis of social protection of citizens with health problems. The implementation of the main directions of medical and social rehabilitation and habilitation of persons with disabilities (medical, professional social) involves the use by persons with disabilities of technical means of rehabilitation that can compensate for impaired or lost functions of the body, which helps to overcome the limitations of life and socialization of citizens with persistent health problems.

AbstractIntroduction:Health care is one of the most important fields not only in individual countries, but globally as well, yet it remains one of the most sensitive topics, too. Global organisations have calculated that one out of seven residents around the world has some sort of disability. It is very likely that due to various processes, the number of people with disabilities will increase. Therefore, the world in general and each country in particular, Lithuania included, faces a great challenge: to ensure suitable and high-quality accessibility to health care services for the disabled. Each country must have clear political guidelines and strategies how to ensure training of health care specialists qualified and able to carry out their tasks when working with the disabled. Therefore, this article analyses global trends of training specialists to work with the disabled and legal basis of such specialist training in Lithuania.Methods:This article features analysis of scientific literary sources and legal documents.Results:International and national Lithuanian documents have clearly established that people with disabilities have equal rights to health care services like the rest of the population without any reservations, so this norm must be established adhering to the principles of accessibility, suitability and universality, and which basically should be ensured by health care specialists. However, document analysis has revealed that documents governing the training of health care specialists in Lithuania and processes related to it pay little attention to the training of future health care specialists to work with the disabled, while descriptions of some specific areas of studies, e.g. dentistry, pharmacy, etc. designed to train health care specialists do no address the work with the disabled at all.Discussion and conclusions:Analysis has revealed that institutions of higher education in Lithuania that train health care specialists are not legally entitled to, other requirements aside, to focus the study process on the work with the disabled. Therefore, it begs the question whether such specialists are actually ready to implement the requirements guiding the provision of health care services and ensure top-quality and proper provision of services to all members of the society, irrespective of their special needs, disabilities, etc. Therefore, this article can serve as a basis for further research related to the training of health care specialists to work with the disabled in order to identify what practice is applied in this area in other countries, as well as to ensure it internationally, what are the options and means required to implement it and how to improve the training of health care specialists as much as possible to work with the disabled ensuring the quality of health care in particular and their life in general.

To establish satisfaction level of persons with disabilitiesregarding health services at primary health care centres in Ndola, Zambia.Key stakeholders views on satisfaction of services is an important componentof service rendering thus obtaining information is important in assistingwith the evaluation of health care service delivery. This will assist in improvingeffectiveness and availability of health care services to persons with physicaldisabilities.All persons with disabilities attending both rehabilitation centres andprimary health care centres in Ndola, Zambia, were targeted for this study. Willing participants were convenientlyselected to take part in the study.A cross sectional, descriptive study design using quantitative methods of data collection was used. The GeneralPractice Assessment Questionnaire was adjusted, piloted for Ndola population and used in this study to establishsatisfaction of participants. The study was ethically cleared at the University of the Western Cape and Zambia.Information and consent forms were signed by participants.Quantitative data was analysed descriptively and was reported in percentages.In the current study there were 191 participants of whom 56% were male and 44% were female with age rangefrom 18-65 years. Fifty-two percent of the participants presented with learning disabilities and 38% of persons withphysical disabilities. Majority of clients (54%) were dissatisfied with availability of services and health care servicesat the health care centres. Areas that clients were dissatisfied with were accessibility, consultation with health professionals,waiting times and opening hours of the health care centres.Clients with disabilities who accessed health care services from selected health centres in Ndola were dissatisfiedwith aspects of health services. Accessibility, consultation with health professionals, waiting times and opening hoursof the health care centres were the origin of client dissatisfaction. Other clients were satisfied with thoroughness ofhealth care providers regarding symptoms, feelings, reception and treatment received at the primary health care centre.Understanding the views of the clients is essential in improving health delivery services and could impact on thecompliance of people attending primary health care services.

The way in which mental illness is conceptualized varies significantly across cultures. This chapter will discuss how mental illness is understood in different cultural contexts, focusing on local perspectives of the need for coercive interactions with the person who is identified as ill. It will also consider how such coercion takes place. Despite local variation, many coercive practices (at least those occurring in health-care systems) will take place within the context of a legal framework. Because of this, developments in mental health laws will be described in broad terms, considering both the evolution of such legislation and its application. This chapter will focus both on health-care services and on the many coercive practices that are deemed socially legitimate that occur outside the remit of services and legal regimes. The latter may indeed be where coercive practices vary the most.

The Magnetic Field

We consider a hydrogen atom in a constant and very large magnetic field. For bounded angular momentum about the direction of the magnetic field we consider resonances in the sense of dilation analyticity. We find a class of resonances corresponding to quasi-stationary states which behave in a certain sense like ground states. The position of these resonances in the complex plane is estimated. Further it is shown that under the time evolution generated by the Hamiltonian for this system these quasi-stationary states exhibit exponential decay in time.

The Magnetic Field

Drug carriers based on polyelectrolyte microcapsules remotely controlled with an external magnetic field are a promising drug delivery system. However, the influence of capsule parameters on microcapsules’ behavior in vivo is still ambiguous and requires additional study. Here, we discuss how the processes occurring in the blood flow influence the circulation time of magnetic polyelectrolyte microcapsules in mouse blood after injection into the blood circulatory system and their interaction with different blood components, such as WBCs and RBCs. The investigation of microcapsules ranging in diameter 1–5.5 μm allowed us to reveal the dynamics of their filtration by vital organs, cytotoxicity, and hemotoxicity, which is dependent on their size, alongside the efficiency of their interaction with the magnetic field. Our results show that small capsules have a long circulation time and do not affect blood cells. In contrast, the injection of large 5.5 μm microcapsules leads to fast filtration from the blood flow, induces the inhibition of macrophage cell line proliferation after 48 h, and causes an increase in hemolysis, depending on the carrier concentration. The obtained results reveal the possible directions of fine-tuning microcapsule parameters, maximizing capsule payload without the side effects for the blood flow or the blood cells.
