April 12, 2011 Humanity celebrated 50 years of one of the greatest achievements of the twentieth century - the legendary flight of Y.Gagarin into space. In this study are highlighted the role and importance of military aviation and space medicine, and in particular, the State Scientific Research Testing Institute of Aviation and Space Medicine, Ministry of Defence of the USSR (now - the State Scientific Research Testing Institute of Military Medicine, Military Medical Academy named after S.M.Kirov) in the preparation and conduct of flight of Yu.A.Gagarin.

International and domestic experience of recent years is convincing evidence that military medical staff can and should be an important part of the national system of emergency medical assistance in emergency situations. The article is concerned with the participation of military medical personnel in Russia and the USSR in the aftermath of natural and technological disasters in the twentieth and twenty-first century. historical background and 20 years of experience in the formation of Disaster Medicine Service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Due to the constant formation of the antibiotic resistance ofpathogens the search for alternative and synergistic ways antibiotic prophylaxis and treatment of infectious complications of wounds becomes current. This article is devoted to various aspects of the use of bacteriophages. The historical background of these drugs, and the biological properties are given. The authors assessed the capabilities of phage preparations for treatment and prevention of infectious complications of wounds. It is noted that for these purposes most suitable preparations containing several phages active against major pathogens of surgical infections. The authors assessed the properties piobacteriofag polyvalent «Sekstafag» in vitro and its efficacy in clinical practice. Based on analysis of published data and own investigations we may conclude that the of using piobacteriofag for the prevention and treatment of infectious complications of wounds may be perspective.

This article developed the question of biomechanical studies of new low-impact method of surgical treatment of fractures of the proximal humerus. Designed latch consists of standard needles with a diameter 2 mm cortical screws with diameter 4,5 mm and fixing washers original design. With the puck all the components are combined into a single release of elastic-strained system that provides sufficient strength fixation of fragments. In the postoperative period, patients did not require rigid immobilization more. Application of the new implant reduces the metal contact with bone tissue, does not require an additional detachment of the periosteum and other soft tissues, provides the necessary micromobility for the consolidation of fragments.
