Background. The organization of clinical trials (CTs) requires the participation and coordination of healthcare providers, patients, public and private parties. Obstacles to the participation of any of these groups pose a risk of lowering the potential for the implementation of CTs. Researchers are a key human resource in conducting of CT. Their motivation for participation can have a significant impact on the recruitment and retention of patients, on the quality of the data collected, which determines the overall outcome of the study. Aims to assess the factors affecting the inclusion of Russian physicians-researchers in CT, and to determine their role in relations with patients-participants. Materials and methods. The study was organized as a part of the Russian multicenter face-to-face study. A survey was conducted of researchers from 10 cities of Russia (20172018). The participation in the survey for doctors was anonymous and voluntary. Results. The study involved 78 respondents. Most research doctors highly value the importance of research for science (4,84 0,39), society (4,67 0,46) and slightly lower for participating patients (4,44 0,61). The expectations of medical researchers are related to improving their financial situation and attaining new experience (n = 14; 18,18%). However, the opportunity to work with new technologies of treatment and diagnosis (n = 41; 52,56%) acted as a motivating factor. According to the questionnaire, the vast majority of research doctors (n = 29; 37,18%) believe that the main reason for patients to participate in CT is to receive quality and free medical care. The most significant obstacle to the inclusion of participants in CT was the side effects of the study drug (n = 38; 48,71%). Conclusions. The potential of clinical researchers in Russia is very high. The patient-participant acts for the research doctor as the subject of the study, and not the object, so the well-being of the patient is not indifferent to the doctor. However, the features of the functioning of our health care system form the motivation of doctors-researchers (additional earnings, professional self-development) and the way they perceive the motivation of patients (CT as an opportunity to receive quality medical care).

The retrospective epidemiological study was carried out concerning infections related to medical care support registered in population on the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan in 2002-2015. The reason of such a study was because of late identification and registration of infections related to medical care support, significant damage to population health, development of complications in significant percentage of hospitalized patients and necessity of investigation of patterns of development and outspread of nosocomial infections. The epidemiological analysis was implemented using report form of the Federal statistical observation № 2 of the Federal service of control of sector of defense of rights of consumers and human well-being “The data of infectious and parasitic infections”. The dynamics, structure of many years morbidity and main parameters of manifestation of epidemic process were investigated. The derived data was used as a basis to provide epidemiological characteristic of many years' dynamics of various classes of infections related to medical care support. The indices of morbidity are calculated with consideration for average annual population size. The priority nosologic forms of infections related to medical care support were established concerning newborns (pyodermatitis, conjunctivitis, pneumonia, omphalitis, sepsis, etc.), puerpera (pyo-septic infections, mastitis, sepsis), adult population (postoperative and post-injection complications, infections of urinary tracts, nosocomial pneumonia, viral hepatitis, etc.) which dynamics was characterized by positive and negative rate of increment of indicator. The obtained data was compared with indices represented in national and foreign publications. The implemented study testifies the necessity of development of measures epidemiological monitoring of decreasing of morbidity because of infections related to medical care support in medical organizations.

In the Republic of Cuba, the last remaining socialist state in the world, medical care was always considered a human right for all citizens. Cuba’s health policy underlines primary health care along prevention, and the participation of citizens and services in the community, and such policies lead tow working fairly well health system. The Cuban experience demonstrates properly working policymaking on the provision of medical care. Although there is large body of literature on health care in Cuba, still the topic of constitutional patient’s rights to medical care is not fully explored. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to show how Cuba’s medical care system has been developed by focusing on human well-being versus financial gains.

SummaryMedical workstations are getting more and more powerful – however for the last decades they have been slow in making their way into the everyday life in medical care. In some resource rich organisations or smaller countries, their advance has gone further than elsewhere – however, a tipping point has not been reached. Again and again, new technologies and developments are pushing the need for integration of workstations into medical processes – currently the quantified self wave – however more options lead to more complexity and this growing complexity makes it more difficult to integrate the power of medical workstations in given culturally primed scenarios.

According to the authors, the Republic of Kazakhstan has prospects for innovative development of industries and services in the regions. The trend of innovative development is aimed at the development, first of all, of agriculture, mining and services. Innovation is becoming a specialized area of development and humanitarian aid, combining new technologies with user-centered, behavioral and lean approaches. Structural transformation has been an important driver of economic development in recent decades. And since digital technologies have become a critical factor in economic growth, national security and international competitiveness, the digital economy has a profound impact on the trajectory of the world and the social well-being of ordinary citizens. It affects everything from resource allocation to income distribution and growth. However, in modern conditions, the possibility of enhancing innovation should be considered from the standpoint of the growth of its investment support, since the establishment of interaction between investment and innovation processes, whether in the agricultural sector, in the industry and services, creates the appropriate conditions for the effective development of the country's economy as a whole.

The article is devoted to the problems of innovative enterprise development. Since the Russian economy is in a state of financial and economic stagnation, there is a need to apply radically new innovative directions of business activities that ensure the effective use of financial potential within the framework of national projects. Practice shows that today the business sector in Russia is not able to provide a full-fledged demand for new technologies. Therefore, there is a need for substantial state support to provide centralized orders for high-tech industries. There are already examples of combining the efforts of a number of Autonomous economic entities to implement innovative reforms, new organizational forms of interaction have been formed, such as: centers for the implementation of innovative ideas; centers for engineering services; business incubators, etc. The subjects of these organizational forms of cooperation developed and proposed measures aimed at innovative solution of technological problems relevant to the regional economy, as well as for the country as a whole. Link for the efficient interaction of economic agents becomes an inherent characteristic, is the need of implementation of mechanisms of coordination with “network interaction”. It is important to note the fact that the existing relations and forms of regulation of various systems are not permanent, there are no strategic concepts aimed at long-term public and private cooperation.

The late Dr. Fazlur Rahman, Harold H. Swift Distinguished Service Professor of Islamic Thought at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, has written this book as number seven in the series on Health/Medicine and the Faith Traditions. This series has been sponsored as an interfaith program by The Park Ridge Center, an Institute for the study of health, faith, and ethics. Professor Rahman has stated that his study is "an attempt to portray the relationship of Islam as a system of faith and as a tradition to human health and health care: What value does Islam attach to human well-being-spiritual, mental, and physical-and what inspiration has it given Muslims to realize that value?" (xiii). Although he makes it quite clear that he has not attempted to write a history of medicine in Islam, readers will find considerable depth in his treatment of the historical development of medicine under the influence of Islamic traditions. The book begins with a general historical introduction to Islam, meant primarily for readers with limited background and understanding of Islam. Following the introduction are six chapters devoted to the concepts of wellness and illness in Islamic thought, the religious valuation of medicine in Islam, an overview of Prophetic Medicine, Islamic approaches to medical care and medical ethics, and the relationship of the concepts of birth, contraception, abortion, sexuality, and death to well-being in Islamic culture. The basis for Dr. Rahman's study rests on the explication of the concepts of well-being, illness, suffering, and destiny in the Islamic worldview. He describes Islam as a system of faith with strong traditions linking that faith with concepts of human health and systems for providing health care. He explains the value which Islam attaches to human spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. Aspects of spiritual medicine in the Islamic tradition are explained. The dietary Jaws and other orthodox restrictions are described as part of Prophetic Medicine. The religious valuation of medicine based on the Hadith is compared and contrasted with that found in the scientific medical tradition. The history of institutionalized medical care in the Islamic World is traced to awqaf, pious endowments used to support health services, hospices, mosques, and educational institutions. Dr. Rahman then describes the ...
