Influenza and ARVI - the main nosological form in structure of all infectious diseases. Influenza is especially dangerous to pregnant women. Purpose: to estimate commitment of pregnant women and health workers to vaccination against influenza. Materials and methods: form No. 5, form of the statistical account No. 1 - influenza the section 1, information from the official site of Federal State Budgetary Institution Scientific Research Institute of influenza of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation; materials of various conferences and the congresses on a influenza problem, information and analytical reference of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. There were asked 1126 pregnant women on various durations of gestation and 447 health workers in various territories of the Russian Federation. Statistical processing was carried out with use of the Microsoft Excel 2010 and IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0 programs. Results and discussion: Among the interviewed pregnant women planned or were already vaccinated against influenza only 8% of women. The most frequent causes of failure from vaccination against influenza during pregnancy: doubt in safety (41.8%), ignorance about possibilities of vaccination (21,1%), lack of need for vaccination (18,7%). Only 25% of respondents knew about entering vaccination against influenza during pregnancy into a national calendar. At the same time only in 15% of health workers suggested pregnant women to be vaccinated from influenza. 73% of the interviewed health workers didn't recommend vaccination against influenza to pregnant women because they consider undesirable an intervention in immunity of the pregnant woman, 33% doubt in safety of vaccination, 13% don't know about a possibility of vaccination of pregnant women at all, 6% have personal negative experience of vaccination, and 4% don't see need for vaccination from influenza. Conclusion: the received materials showed need of development of knowledge at health workers of a vaccinal prevention of infectious diseases, including also vaccination against influenza during pregnancy, and also to carry out broad and active information work with the population, attracting mass media.

AbstractUndiagnosed thyroid disease is a common problem with significant public health implications. This is especially true during pregnancy, when the health of both the mother and the developing child can be adversely affected by abnormal maternal thyroid function. Measurement of serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab) are two common ways to assess maternal thyroid status. The objective of our study was to determine the prevalence of abnormal TSH and TPO-Ab tests in a population of pregnant women in the Samara region of the Russian Federation. Serum samples were obtained from 1588 pregnant women as part of their routine antenatal care. TSH and TPO-Ab were measured, and trimester-specific reference values for TSH (2.5–97.5 percentiles) were calculated using TPO-Ab-negative women. TSH results outside these ranges were considered abnormal; TPO-Ab levels outside the manufacturer's reference range (>12IU/mL) were considered abnormal. Overall, the prevalence of abnormal results was 6.3% for TSH and 10.7% for TPO-Ab. High TSH (>97.5 trimester-specific percentile) and TPO-Ab-positive results were most common in the first trimester (5.7% and 13.8%, respectively). TSH levels were associated with gestational age and TPO-Ab status, and with maternal age in TPO-Ab-negative women. TPO-Ab status was associated with both maternal and gestational age. Women with TSH >2.5mIU/L had a significantly increased risk of being TPO-Ab-positive, and this risk increased with age. Based on our data, we conclude that abnormal TSH and TPO-Ab are common in pregnant women of the Samara region. Given the association of thyroid dysfunction to adverse pregnancy outcomes, screening of this population for abnormal thyroid function should be considered.

Coronavirus infection caused by a new strain of SARS-CoV-2 virus contributed to an increase in the number of infectious patients. The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and Rospotrebnadzor took over the organization of work to combat the pandemic. In Moscow, medical and preventive events were organized by the Government of the capital and the Department of Health of the city. As soon as possible, it was decided to reassign medical institutions to infectious hospitals for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 or with suspicion of it. “Maternity hospital No. 8” – the branch of State Clinical Hospital named after V. P. Demikhov was redesigned as a hospital on March 13, 2020. The decision was due to the presence of isolated boxes and an intensive care unit in the institution. The task was solved in one day: the first patients with coronavirus infection were admitted to the hospital for medical care at 17:00 on March 13, 2020.

The onset of 2020 clearly demonstrated that infection agents pose a major threat to mankind. Current infectiology is shaped by resurrection of “old” seemingly forgotten infections, emergence of “new” infection agents, unusual combinations of known agents, evolving resistance of microorganisms to antibacterial drugs, transformation of human microbiome leading to distortions in herd immunity and, ultimately, emergence of healthcare-related infectious diseases, not letting alone threats of bioterror. Infection agents evolve together with mankind. Novel facets emerge in infectiology, alongside with trends in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of infectious diseases that become more diverse as the list of pathogens grows. Human and infection agent links extend beyond antagonistic relations towards symbiosis. Microorganisms adapt quickly in the new technogenic environment giving rise to novel pathogens and making it unlikely for the mankind to get free from infections any time soon.The total economic damage from infectious diseases increases by year, despite continuous improvement in therapy. Infectious mortality in children aged 0 to 14 years is the top fourth among other causes of death. The work assesses comparative dynamics of “common” childhood infections in the Russian Federation during 2018–2020. We analyse official statistics on paediatric infectious morbidity, comparative dynamics of main infectious diseases (acute respiratory diseases, intestinal infections of bacterial and viral nature, neuroinfections, anthropozoonotic infections, viral hepatitises), assess trends in morbidity of vaccine-preventable infections in children and adults in the Russian Federation, with greater detail towards selected regions, from January 2018 to April 2020.

Abstract This narrative review was conducted to synthesize and summarize available up-to-date evidence on current health status, including both non-communicable diseases and infectious diseases, of migrants and refugees from the former Soviet Union countries in the Russian Federation. Epidemiological and sociological studies with one or more determinants of the health, as well as relevant qualitative studies characterizing risk factors, well-being indicators, and lifestyles of migrants and refugees from the former Soviet Union countries in Russia published from 2004 to 2019 in Russian and English languages were included in the review. Despite significant limitations of the available research literature in the field, some patterns in migrants’ health in Russia and issues that need to be addressed were identified. In particular, the syndemic epidemics of communicable and non-communicable diseases, additively increasing negative health consequences, including cardiovascular diseases and chronic digestive system diseases, high rates of sexually transmitted infections and HIV, respiratory diseases and a growing percentage of new tuberculosis cases among migrants from the former Soviet Union countries are all of great concern. Possibly, the burden of these co-occurring morbidities is linked to commonly reported issues among this population group, such as poor nutrition and living conditions, high prevalence of unskilled manual labour, non-compliance with sanitary norms, lack of basic vaccinations, lack of basic knowledge about safe sexual practices and risky sexual behaviour, low healthcare seeking behaviour and limited access to health care. Importantly, these findings may urge the government to increase efforts and promote international collaboration in combating the threat of infectious diseases. Additionally, it was found that migrants had higher levels of anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, and those who stayed in the receiving country 5 years or more had a higher level of somatic pathology than those whose stay was less than 5 years. In order to ensure an adequate health system response and fulfil the main Universal Health Coverage principle of “leaving no one behind”, a robust monitoring system of the health status of refugees and migrants and an integrated legal framework for the standardized and more inclusive routine care for this population in Russia is urgently needed.

The purpose of the study is to characterize the legal framework for integrating telemedicine into the obstetric service in the light of the new Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation of 2010.2020 No. 1130n, to establish aspects of the use of telemedicine in obstetrics, and to show the practical results of its implementation. Material and methods. A scientific and analytical, retrospective study of all cases of the use of telemedicine technologies in the obstetric service of the Perinatal Center of Noyabrsk (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug) in 2020 was carried out. Results. The main aspects of the use of telemedicine in obstetrics in areas with a low population density have been established, namely: selection of pregnant women requiring a high level of attention, routing of high-risk pregnant women in health care facilities of levels II and III, extreme conditions of pregnant women and newborns, pregnancy complications and negative medical and genetic prognosis of offspring, high-tech remote medical care for pregnant women, women in labor and newborns in federal healthcare facilities of III B level. The capabilities of patient-centered telemedicine technologies in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic have been determined. The clinical experience of the Noyabrsk Perinatal Center has proved that telemedicine counseling for pregnant women located in areas remote from the PC, prescribed by Order No. 1130n, significantly improves the quality of the regional obstetric care system. Conclusion. The Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 1130 n ensures the effective integration of telemedicine technologies into the obstetric service, laying the foundation for the formation of a regional regulatory framework for obstetric telemedicine. Thanks to the new Order, the planned development of telemedicine obstetric networks and the organization of remote consulting centers in level III A health facilities have become mandatory. The Order gave impetus to the formation of electronic databases of high-risk pregnant women in each region. It provides for remote provision of both routine and emergency obstetric care. All this allows the obstetric service of the regions with the use of telemedicine to provide high-quality medical care to pregnant women, women in labor and parturient women, even in extreme conditions of epidemics and emergencies.

Rabies is one of the most dangerous and socially significant infectious diseases. The city of Moscow is the largest metropolitan area in the Russian Federation with the largest number of pets and a tense epizootic situation. The city of Moscow is bordered by the large-scale Moscow region, which for many years has been unsuccessful in terms of animal rabies. There is a fairly large livestock sector on the territory of the region: hunting farms, animal complexes, personal subsidiary farms of the population and livestock farms of other forms of ownership.This article presents the results of the analysis of reporting data in the 4-vet form: City Veterinary Laboratory, GBUV MO "Tervet Management No. 4", Zhukovskaya Veterinary Station, GBUV MO "Teruvrashenie No. 3" of Egoryevsk Veterinary Station, GBUV MO "Teruvrashenie No. 2" Sergiev Posadskaya veterinary laboratory and GBUV MO "Terrupravlenie No. 1" of the Ruza veterinary laboratory.

The paper deals with topical issues of the Russian State System for Prevention and Response to Emergencies in the context of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Some aspects of a possible legislation reform in the field of protection of the population and territories in emergencies caused by the spread of dangerous infectious diseases are investigated. The authors consider the issues of limiting the constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens in high-alert and emergency situations. Activities to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens in the context of a pandemic are based on article 55 of the Constitution, according to which the rights can be restricted by law only to the extent necessary to protect the health of citizens. Based on the analysis of changes in legislation in this area, the authors substantiate proposals for improving activities in the field of protection of the population and territories in emergencies, as well as expanding the functions of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
