In 2021 the sanatorium "Annenskie Vody" will be 155 years old. This is the oldest balneological institution in the Khabarovsk Territory, a Far Eastern health resort that helps restore health to the population using natural factors. Annenskie Vody sanatorium receives more than three thousand patients annually, and almost 7 % of the patients are patients with skin diseases. The main healing factor in the Annenskie Vody sanatorium is mineral water. The spring water is thermal (t 52 ºC), slightly mineralized (0.2–0.3 g/l), hydrocarbonate-sulphate-sodium, alkaline, with a high content of silicic acid. There were 560 psoriasis patients aged from 18 to 70 years under observation. Of these, 360 are women and 200 are men. To assess the severity and effectiveness of the therapy in patients with psoriasis, the PASI index was used, which decreased by 4 times during therapy. Biochemical parameters improved under the influence of AKTW. The effectiveness of therapy increased with the use of complex methods of exposure (mud therapy, physiotherapy).

In this study, 20 Albino mice of the same daily age were used. All the animals were restrained in well-ventilated 50 ml tubes (plus 3 or 4 cm long middle tubes), which were slipped over the tail to restrict movement even more and left undisturbed under an opaque duration of the stress (30 min). After stress procedure was applied in all animals, 20 mice which have same alive weight average and constitute the study material were divided into two groups as control group (CG) (n=10) and study groups (SG) (n=10) for a 21-day treatment period equally and randomly. Normal tap water was added to the CG mice’ drinkers, while the hot spring water that was brought from the source each day as fresh added to SG mice’ drinkers and they were allowed to reach ad libitum. Clinical, hematological and blood biochemical parameters were measures on 1, 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment in all the animals. The results of this study showed that cortisol and glucose levels decreased in stressed mice treated with Süreyya I Hot Spring Water, while ALB, TP, T3 and T4 levels increased and these changes were statistically significant plessthan0.06) when compared to the control group.

Abstract The Ustroń S.A. Health Resort (southern Poland) uses iodide-bromide mineral waters taken from Middle and Upper Devonian limestones and dolomites with a mineralisation range of 110-130 g/dm3 for curative purposes. Two boreholes - U-3 and U3-A drilled in the early 1970s were exploited. The aim of this paper is to estimate changes in mineral water quality of the Ustroń Health Resort by taking into consideration chloride content in the water from the U-3 borehole. The data has included the results of monthly analyses of chlorides from 2005 to 2015 during the tests carried out by the Mining Department of the Health Resort. The triple exponential smoothing (ETS) function and the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) method of modelling time series were used for the calculations. The ability to properly forecast mineral water quality can result in a good status of the exploitation borehole and a limited number of failures in the exploitation system. Because of the good management of health resorts, it is possible to acquire more satisfied customers. The main goal of the article involves the real-time forecast accuracy, obtained results show that the proposed methods are effective for such situations. Presented methods made it possible to obtain a 24-month point and interval forecast. The results of these analyses indicate that the chloride content is forecast to be in the range of 72 to 83 g/l from 2015 to 2017. While comparing the two methods of analysis, a narrower range of forecast values and, therefore, greater accuracy were obtained for the ETS function. The good performance of the ETS model highlights its utility compared with complicated physically based numerical models.

The ability of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) to survive in bottled mineral and spring water at common storage temperatures was investigated. Filtered mineral and spring waters were inoculated with EAEC (ca. 104 CFU/ml) and stored at 4, 10, and 23°C. Water samples were analyzed every 3 days for viable EAEC by plating on tryptic soy agar plates over 60 days of storage. EAEC survived for the duration of the study in both mineral and spring waters. EAEC survival levels were significantly higher (P < 0.01) at 23 and 10°C than at 4°C. Furthermore, EAEC survival levels were significantly higher (P < 0.01) in mineral water than in spring water at 4 and 10°C. The results of this study indicate that EAEC can survive in bottled mineral and spring waters for long periods of storage at 4, 10, and 23°C. The ability of EAEC to survive in bottled water indicates that the source water for bottling industries must be kept free of contamination. Furthermore, the refrigeration of bottled water is recommended to minimize the growth of EAEC in water.

The purpose of this study is to delineate the main contributions controlling the chemical composition of groundwater and spring water samples at Jeju Island, South Korea. Groundwater and spring water can be grouped as three chemical types: Fresh water (Ca, Na-HCO3), sea water mixing (Na-Cl, SO4) and contamination (Ca-NO3, Cl). By factor analysis, three factors can explain about 87% of chemical variances: Factor 1 (Na+ and Cl−), factor 2 (NO3−), and factors 3 (HCO3−), which are regarded as indicative ions of sea water mixing, contamination and mineral-water interaction, respectively. Sea water intrusion in the southeastern area of Jeju Island is due to downward distribution of Seogwipo Formation, which plays a role as an aquiclude preventing sea water intrusion in other areas, under sea level at the southeastern coastal area. Nitrate contamination is likely to be affected by pollution sources, i.e., agricultural activities, horse farms and municipal sewage. Thermodynamic saturation index indicates that most of waters are undersaturated with respect to major minerals, which may result from insufficient reaction time within a permeable aquifer. The unsaturation state corresponds to low load scores of Ca, Mg, Na, K, and SiO2 in factor 3, which means a low contribution of mineral-water interaction.

Abstract Azerbaijan that is situated in the east of the Caucasian region of the Alpine folding belt is rich in not only oil, gas, and mineral reserves, but in unique mineral water deposits as well. There is over 1000 mineral and thermal water deposits in Azerbaijan. The majority of these deposits have not been exploited yet. These waters can be used for therapeutic purposes as well as an alternative source of renewable energy. This article is dedicated to ways to solve this problem.There are a high production rate (40-50 lit/sec) aquifers with water temperatures close to 100°C at depth of 3000m in Neogene and Paleogene rocks.Geochemical and hydrogeological properties of the mineral and thermal waters of Azerbaijan have separately been analyzed in the article for various regions and specific proposals on their efficient use have been put forward. Thermal waters can be used in heating civil and industrial premises (T=40-600C). Electrical energy can be produced from waters with temperatures above 800C (Jarli, Precaspian-Guba, etc.). The presence of thermal waters distribution patterns in time and space associated with tectonic faults and magmatic processes has been proven from the scientific point of view.
