The objective. Developing information exchange methodology by means of specialized registries among the core healthcare partakers in the course of provisioning medical assistance to traumatology and orthopedic patients. Materials and Methods. We conducted the analysis and systematization of functionality for 31 registers of traumatology- and orthopedics-related medical information from the databases of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property, European Patent Office and developers’ websites. The search depth has been set at 1979 and defined by the date of the earliest discovered information source. Results. The analysis of specialized registries revealed that majority of those (70.9%) were mono-nosologic, hence containing information about the diagnosis and treatment procedures provided at the level of a specific medical institution. We developed the methodology for evaluating the functionality of specialized medical information registries, containing the data on used medical devices, medications, medical technologies, rehabilitation programs, and assessment of medical treatment effectiveness. Such methodology was designed to operate on data from the information systems of major healthcare partakers. Conclusion. The proposed information exchange methodology defined the necessity of integrated, target-oriented registry development. Its implementation would allow increasing the quality of management decisions proposed by healthcare participants.

Biomaterials as we know them today had their origins in the late 1940s with off-the-shelf commercial polymers and metals. The evolution of materials for medical applications from these simple origins has been rapid and impactful. This review relates some of the early history; addresses concerns after two decades of development in the twenty-first century; and discusses how advanced technologies in both materials science and biology will address concerns, advance materials used at the biointerface, and improve outcomes for patients.

Domestic patents for inventions on surgical treatment of shoulder joint injuries are analyzed. The database of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property of Rospatent was searched. Eliminating the so-called search noise, we created an array of 215 patents for inventions for the surgical treatment of shoulder injuries (registration mainly from 01/01/1994 to 09/30/2020). The average annual number of patents for inventions was 7 1. Surgical treatment methods were presented in 74.3% of inventions, and devices (surgical instruments, endoprostheses, etc.) in 25.7%. In some inventions, both methods and devices were patented. Inventions for the surgical treatment of shoulder joint instability accounted for 23.4%, for the treatment of tendons and periarticular tissues 8.9%, for osteosynthesis of the bones of the shoulder joint 21.9%, for surgical devices and instruments 14.2%, for methods and shoulder arthroplasty devices 13.4%; other inventions (on assessment of lesions, the likelihood of a favorable outcome of surgery, pain relief, etc.) 18.2%. It is necessary to optimize the domestic inventive activity in areas of medicine to prevent a shotage of domestic medical equipment or tools in case of sanctions imposed by certain foreign states.

The Way

A method for identifying small innovative enterprises (SIE) that are understood as holders of a valid patent for an invention or a license to use it is proposed. The source of information for identi cation is the patent funds and the search engine of the Federal Institute of industrial property (FIPS). The methodology includes techniques for identifying SIE if patents related to their activities were issued to individuals. The results of SIE detection in three areas of technology obtained during the development of the technique are presented. It is noted that other statistical results obtained along the way are of the same, if not greater, interest for the purposes of public administration.

Since the start of its operation in 2001, based on an idea of Prof. Carlo Rubbia [1], the neutron time of-flight facility of CERN, n_TOF, has become one of the most forefront neutron facilities in the world for wide-energy spectrum neutron cross section measurements. Thanks to the combination of excellent neutron energy resolution and high instantaneous neutron flux available in the two experimental areas, the second of which has been constructed in 2014, n_TOF is providing a wealth of new data on neutron-induced reactions of interest for nuclear astrophysics, advanced nuclear technologies and medical applications. The unique features of the facility will continue to be exploited in the future, to perform challenging new measurements addressing the still open issues and long-standing quests in the field of neutron physics. In this document the main characteristics of the n_TOF facility and their relevance for neutron studies in the different areas of research will be outlined, addressing the possible future contribution of n_TOF in the fields of nuclear astrophysics, nuclear technologies and medical applications. In addition, the future perspectives of the facility will be described including the upgrade of the spallation target, the setup of an imaging installation and the construction of a new irradiation area.

The genus Mikania (Asteraceae) comprises about 450 species of these, 203 are found in Brazil and present several chemical and biological activities. Considering the variety of species and their therapeutic properties, the present study aimed to perform technological prospecting of this genus, since this approach aims to contribute to technological, scientific and innovation research. For this purpose, the patent documents were analyzed, regarding the applicant countries, year of filing and the international classification of patents of the genus Mikania. The search was conducted in the databases World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), European Patent Office (EPO) and the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) in October 2020, using the descriptor “Mikania”; present in the title and/or abstract in addition, documents that included medicinal approaches were selected. Thus, taking into consideration the filing countries, Japan, Brazil and the United States led the patent deposits, with the first document filed in 1991 and the largest number of applications in the years 2000 and 2010. The data concerning the international patent classification are concentrated in subclass A61K, which deals with preparations for medical, dental or hygienic purposes. These results demonstrated the therapeutic and technological potential of the Mikania species and thus which can be evidenced the potential of this study.
