Introduction. In recent years, the influence of climatic factors on population health has become particularly relevant. With significant fluctuations in meteorological conditions, there is an overstrain and failure of the adaptation. This leads to disorders of the functioning of the cardiovascular and central nervous systems. The purpose of the study is to assess the relationship of the population’s medical care with climatic factors, based on the available databases of indicators of Earth and space weather and data on the frequency of the population’s medical care. Material and Methods. For the analysis, we used a database of the population’s access to medical care and variations of climatic factors from 19.12.2005 to 31.12.2009 in the Kalininsky district of St. Petersburg. The total number of environmental parameters included in the study was 237, and the number of requests for medical care was 2.444. Results. In this paper, we tested a model for assessing the relationship between the population’s access to medical care and Earth and space weather factors. Gender and seasonal analysis were carried out. Time dependencies were studied. The obtained data allowed us to form a list of climate indicators that affect the health of the population. Conclusion. The most significant climatic indicators associated with coronary heart disease were identified. The most dangerous season of the year is autumn. Women have a higher sensitivity to changes in Earth and space weather than men. Accounting for variations in space weather allows predicting changes in medical treatment requests in 2-5 days, accounting for variations in the Earth’s weather - in 1 day.

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 ...

Most of the available evidence relating early experience to subsequent cognitive development has been concerned with interpersonal interaction variables. In the present paper the relationship of physical environment parameters to development was considered. Subjects were 23 infants who had previously taken part in a longitudinal project which included measurements of the child's physical environment between 12 and 24 months. These measurements were related to the infant's Binet performance at 31 months of age. Results indicated that some physical environment parameters including the presence of audio-visually responsive toys and a lack of overcrowding were related to subsequent Binet performance all across the second year of life. Other items were related to subsequent development only at certain time periods. A breakdown by sex suggested that female development was sensitive to environmental parameters at an earlier age than males and that females were uniquely sensitive to variety/change in their environment. Implications of these findings for early remediation were considered.

The relationship of changing demographic characteristics to health status and medical care in Latin America is examined in this article. The rapid demographic growth, high birth and death rates, although with a downward trend, the excessive expansion of the large cities, and the dispersion of the rural population are correlated with the unsatisfactory levels of health and living of the masses of the population, lack of medical care whose quality varies according to social class, and the limitations of the health systems. In the light of this analysis the authors discuss some of the tasks and prospects of the health sector. They contend that the situation described is basically due to inefficient social, economic, and political structures and an unhealthy dependence on external forces. Only radical structural changes will enable millions of Latin Americans to really have access to medical care, health, and life itself, an access which is their inalienable right and which today is denied them.

The development of clinical thinking and the improvement of medical care largely depend on doctors and society’s attitude to medical errors. A balanced, rational perspective to medical errors is critical with an understanding of the main aspects of medication errors. The paper presents two important aspects of the problem of medical errors - their probability and, in a sense, their routine, as well as the role of collective relationships in shaping an objective attitude of doctors to errors. The article argues that the correct action of a doctor does not mean that they are unmistakable. The factors that determine the complexity of medicine are listed. The actual and ambiguous effectiveness of the medicine is considered. It is argued that the development of evidence-based medicine is evidence of the relativity of knowledge in medicine. The basic variants of the relationship of doctors in the collective are given. The role of collegiality in improving the professional experience and quality of medical care is specified. It has been shown that the absence of objective criteria of guilt or innocence of a doctor in error exacerbates the problem of errors. It emphasizes the flaw of equating all errors with misconduct and the unilateralism of such an approach in preventing mistakes. A vicious circle is presented, where the traditionally negative attitude towards doctors who made a mistake ultimately leads to concealment of errors, a decrease in the number and quality of error analysis, stagnation in the development of clinical thinking, an increase in the number of errors and, accordingly, the legal tightening of demand for medical errors.

The present paper is the result of a study undertaken to establish the relationship of certain marine envlromental factors and the benthic flora of the Caribbean littoral of Colombia. For the purpose of this study this coastal bands has been divided in two Areas. Area 1 is found between Cabo Tiburón and the mouth of the Río Magdalena, and is characterized by warm waters with very small fluctuations of the surface temperature. Area 2 ranges from the mouth of the Río Magdalena to Castilletes, and its waters are affected by a coastal upwelling with a locality of maximum intensity at the West of Península de Guajira. As a result of the presence of this upwelling there are considerable variations in the physical and chemical factors acting upon the benthic flora, there established for very short periods or all year round, as well as determining the absence of some genera and species typical of these latitudes. The parameters used for detecting this oceanographic phenomenon are given by Díaz-Piferrer (1967 a) for Venezuela. To the biological indicators cited by this author for Venezuela, the present writer adds the brown alga Ectocarpus confervoides (Roth) Le Jolis, which was found in the area of upwelling in Colombia. A comparative study of these indicators plants with those of Venezuela is given in the present paper. Similarities and differences were found to be caused by the over-run of the warm counter current on the Colombian upwelling; by the different forces of the Caribbean Current and Guayana Current, all of which lead to the related oceanographic phenomenon; tfie climatic factors; the topography of the sea bottom and the influence of the continental waters over these upwelling.
