新型冠状病毒感染（COVID-19）疫情已被列为具有国际重要性的紧急情况，不仅引起了卫生专业人员的关注，也引起了全世界人民的关注。尽管没有伴随疾病的年轻人因COVID-19造成严重健康后果的风险相对较低，在这一年龄组中，感染的传播可能导致与他们有密切接触的老年人群的发病率增加。这些人有较高的死于COVID-19的风险。

该研究的目的是在隔离观察期间评估一种新型冠状病毒感染在North-western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov的学生中的临床过程特征。

材料与方法。这项研究是在North-western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov医学观察站进行的。那里的学生接触过新型冠状病毒感染者，有轻度症状，也有急性呼吸道疾病的临床表现。2020年4月21日至8月31日转入隔离的所有学生均有流行病学和临床病历资料。作为前瞻性研究的一部分，所有参与者在隔离3个月后，都被要求通过电话完成一份健康量表（EQ-5D）。

结果。这项研究包括113名参与者：45.1%的男性（n = 51）和54.9%的女性（n = 62）。调查对象平均年龄为22.4±2.5岁。在进行多变量分析时，发现性别、年龄、所属人种语言群体和慢性疾病不是与COVID-19发生相关的可靠因素。前瞻性研究结果显示，COVID-19康复患者与普通患者在回答疾病急性期3个月后持续不适或疼痛的问题时，差异有统计学意义（p < 0.05）。

The article analyzes an opinion of 6^th grade of young women, the 6^th grade medicine students, on the topic of using contraceptive methods for preventing unwanted pregnancy.

The use of heuristics, cognitive “rules of thumb” or “shortcuts”, are a common part of medical decision making. While using heuristics lessens the cognitive burden of decision making and often comes up with the correct answer, reliance on heuristics can also lead to medical errors. In this introduction we will define heuristics and discuss some of the more common heuristics/biases that may lead to biased decision making and patient harm. We will also look at the use of language in medicine and how that can lead us to make diagnostic errors.

The article provides information about the conference with international participation “Respiratory diseases in general medical practice”, which was held on-line on the webinar.ru platform on October 14, 2020. The main provisions of the reports included in the program of this event are presented.
