HIV infection is a major threat to national security of the Russian Federation. Unfavorable epidemiological situation of HIV infection and drug addiction in Russia leads to a significant increase in the number of conscripts, recognized unfitfor military service on health grounds in connection with this disease. The quantitative and structural indices of detection of HIV infection in people at the stage of recruitment and during the period of their service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the dynamics have been analyzed. The most detection rate of HIV infection in soldiers in the regions of the Russian Federation with high prevalence of HIV = disease has been established. With aim to prevent the carrying and further spread of HIV infection in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation the performance of the mandatory medical examination ofpersons qualifying for induction has been suggested.

In the context of the reform of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and a significant increase in the proportion of military personnel doing military service under contract, the issues of manning the troops with healthy, physically developed citizens with high moral and business qualities are of paramount importance. Of particular importance in the selection of candidates for military service under the contract is the conduct of laboratory and instrumental studies, professional and psychological selection, determination of the level of citizens’ physical fitness. The Federal Law «On Military Duty and Military Service» defines a two-stage system for medical examination of citizens entering military service under contract, which is necessary as a barrier in order to prevent citizenswho do not meet the necessary requirements for military personnel from entering the Russian Armed Forces. At the first stage (preliminary examination), the military and medical examination of citizens was carried out by specialist doctors working in medical organizations of the outpatient-polyclinic link of municipalities at the place of citizens’ permanent residence. Medical specialists of the regular military medical commission of the military commissariat of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation participated in the second stage (final examination) of the military medical examination. During the five-year period under study, 5,133 citizens (72.9 %) were selected out of 7,043 candidates for military service under contract, who fully met all the criteria for defenders of the Fatherland.

Introduction. The social and medical implication of cardiovascular diseases is determined by their frequency, early disability and high mortality they cause. High mortality of working age men is one of the primary state problems in Russia. The greatest concern is caused by negative changes in health status of men aged 18-27 years who determine the military potential and thus the safety of the country. The defects of public health services and medical support of young men affect the primary criterion of system of preparing citizens to military service effectiveness - fitness for service status. Every 5th young man liable for military service is send to health care facilities for follow-up examination. Also every 4-5th from those on military service discharges from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation early as improperly called up for military service for medical reasons. Among the reasons for early discharge of military personnel cardiovascular diseases rank first. Objective. To determine prevalence of hypertension as cardiovascular risk factor in military aged male according to physical evaluation results. Materials and methods. An analysis of statistical data provided by State-owned Federal State Institution “The Main Center of Military Medical Examination of the Ministry of Defense of Russian Federation” in the Western Military District in 2011-2016 year and data on results of military-medical examination of recruited men in military registration and enlistment office of Izmaylovo district of Eastern Administrative Okrug in Moscow in 2011-2016 year was conducted. Results. In the Western Military District cardiovascular diseases amounted to 26‰ in 2011, 22.3‰ in 2012, 19.5‰ in 2013, 32‰ in 2014, 32‰ in 2015, and 27‰ in 2016 year. The percentage of newly diagnosed hypertension did not exceed 13.8‰, with its maximum in 2011 year and tendency to decrease through analyzed 6 years (11.4, 10.0, 10.0, 9.0, 7.0‰ respectively). All in all a decrease of total number of young men was observed in Moscow in the last 4 years, from 2011 to 2014. More than 58% military aged male committed to military registration and enlistment office of Izmaylovo district in Moscow have signs of various diseases and are not suitable for military service for health reasons. According to data on disease distribution in the abovementioned district, cardiovascular diseases took the second place and accounted for 12.6% in 2011 year. In the following 2012, 2013, and 2014 years the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases decreased to 8.9, 8.1, and 7.3%, respectively, so they took the 5th place. However, in 2015 and 2016 years cardiovascular diseases were again among the top three, giving way to musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders. Conclusion. Detection of hypertension on initial stages of the disease and differential diagnostics with other diseases with similar clinical symptoms is a crucial task and providing high quality medical support of military men is essential for high military effectiveness of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

Epidemiological Situation

The problems of the incidence of meningococcal disease and the epidemiological situation in the world, in the Russian Federation and in the Armed Forces are consecrated. In the past decade, there has been a global decline in the incidence of meningococcal disease, but there is still the possibility of new outbreaks and epidemics. From 1996 to 2016, a decrease in the incidence of meningococcal disease was also noted in Russia. In certain regions of the Russian Federation, an increase in incidence was recorded, which did not affect the general trend. Against this background, the idea was formed that in the coming years, thanks to a favorable epidemiological situation and the possibility of preventing meningococcal infection with the help of a vaccine, it is possible to achieve control of this infection. However, meningococcus showed all the classic properties of variability and fitness. Changes in the structure of circulating serogroups of meningococcus led to the formation of a non-immune layer of the population in the face of increasing pathogenicity of the dominant serogroups. The activity of the epidemic process is indirectly indicated by the high diversity of genetic and serological clonal complexes, serogroups and serotypes of the pathogen. The incidence of meningococcal disease over the past ten years in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can be assessed as low, but mortality has high values. The peak incidence was in 2010, but the maximum percentage of mortality was in 2017-18,2%. The increase in mortality from invasive forms of meningococcal infection, on the one hand, is associated with an increase in the total number of sources of this infection, on the other hand, with errors in early diagnosis and, as a consequence, in the incorrect provision of emergency care at the prehospital stage, which recur from year to year and are of a similar nature.

The issues of prevention of suicidal incidents in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are considered. The analysis of suicide prevalence among military personnel of various categories and their prevailing causes for the period from 2013 to 2017 is indicated. Indicates a change in the percentage ratio of various categories of military personnel who committed suicide, with a steady increase in the proportion of privates and sergeants serving in military service under the contract (from 24,6% in 2011 to 57,4% in 2017). It was established that among the servicemen under the contract family and everyday reasons for suicide prevailed, while conscripts were military professional. A comparison was also made of the long-term (2007-2017) dynamics of suicide rates and the incidence of mental disorders among military personnel, and certain patterns were identified. Thus, in the group of officers and ensigns, a significant correlation was noted between the long-term dynamics of suicide rates with neurotic (r=0,74) and addictive disorders (r=0,86), as well as general mental morbidity (r=0,83), and for conscripts, with personality disorders (r=0,79) and organic mental disorders (r=0,71). A comparison of the long-term dynamics of the overall incidence of mental disorders and the suicide rate among conscripts also showed a positive correlation (r=0,69). Analyzed the system of prevention of suicidal incidents in military personnel, which currently exists and proposed measures for its improvement, including the areas of activity of officials for the prevention of suicidal incidents in the military. It also indicates the need to shift the focus from specific prevention (direct detection and prevention of suicidal actions in military personnel with mental disorders) to non-specific (prevention of general mental distress and suicidal tendencies in mentally healthy people).

The present lecture provides evidence on the spread of HIV infection in the Russian Federation. Epidemiological situation in maritime regions is described. Some of regions are leaders by HIV spread. To treat and prevent HIV in this group of people, a special branch represented by territorial HIV centers that organize all necessary measures to carry out voluntary examination in different groups of people was created. Common factors of HIV progression and ways of suppression of viral replication are presented. HIV is considered as chronic medicamentally manageable disease with long course. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is used to treat HIV infection at the present time. HIV medications are designed to affect HIV at the molecular biological level. Current medications are incapable to eliminate genetic material of virus integrated in DNA of human target cells, so, active viral replication in human body and disease progression will go back up again as soon as a patient stops taking ART medications. In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, HIV ranks fourth out of the other diseases. At the same time, there is a growing number of primary disease incidence in 2018 in comparison with earlier periods.

This article examines and analyzes the basic directions of development and improvement of the system of manning of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the sergeants (and other enlisted grades) , based on the experience gained and on analysis of manning systems of the leading countries of the world. In Ukraine, with the onset of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, the tasks assigned to the personnel services and military commissariats required rapid response and aimed at implementing mobilization deployment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 126 To date, the main focus on staffing the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the priority of providing operational (tactical) grouping of troops to contracted military servicemen to accomplish tasks during the operation of the Joint Forces and further readiness of the troops (forces) to repel the armed aggression. At the same time, an important issue to resolve is the recruitment of a professional sergeant (and other enlisted grades) for the military service, with the encouragement of military personnel to prolong their military service. The article describes the reasons that may deter citizens from joining the military service and ways to resolve this issue. Particular attention in the article is devoted to the work of recruiting units, which provide selection for contracted military service using the latest selection technologies and techniques. The importance of the practical activity of the territorial recruitment and social support centers for the instructors of the recruiting and recruitment departments is also considered.

More than 1,7 million people, 770 thousand people from HIV infection, died from tuberculosis worldwide in 2018. In accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the World Health Organization’s strategy to fight tuberculosis, all countries need to reduce the incidence of tuberculosis by 80% and reduce the death rate from tuberculosis by 90% by 2030. According to the Joint United Nations programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) goals of «90–90–90», countries should achieve the following indicators by 2020: «90% of people living with HIV infection should know their HIV status; 90% of those who know about their HIV infection should receive treatment, and 90% of those who are being treated should not have their viral load determined». Socially significant diseases are a serious problem for the Russian Federation (RF). The RF is one of 30 countries with a high incidence of tuberculosis and ranks 3rd place in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and 6th place in the prevalence of HIV infection. Socially significant diseases present a serious problem for the Armed Forces of the RF. 150 new cases of tuberculosis, over 50 cases of HIV infection are diagnosed every year among military personnel of the RF Armed Forces.The purpose of the study is to analyze the current epidemiological situation of tuberculosis and HIV infection in the armed forces of the Russian Federation and foreign armies, to generalize domestic and foreign experience in the organization of medical care for military personnel with these diseases.Data from reports of the medical service and a review of domestic Russian and foreign medical literature allowed us to assess TB and HIV sickness rate among military personnel in the RF and foreign states, as well as to characterize the current system of medical care for this category of patients.

This article is devoted to occupational safety issues with regard to members of the services and civilian staff in the course of army and navy normal activity in terms of creation possibility justification of a unified occupational safety and health system for all the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The legislative and other statutory and regulatory acts of the Russian Federation, which determine the security procedure for different social categories, incoming and incumbent employees in military units (on boards), were studied. The research found that active service conditions and civilian staff working conditions, as well as corresponding military service and labor security systems in military units (on boards), differ substantially thus creating obstacles for military authorities. The authors propose to create a unified occupational safety and health system for all the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which will be based on the principles applicable to the modern occupational health management system, and will account for work factors of the both social categories.
