Day of the Elderly & ndash; a reason to give again expert healthy happy living advice.

How many centenarians are there in Moscow, who are geriatricians and what healthy aging is, what food rejuvenates, and also how to age beautifully on the eve of the Day of the Elderly 'Arguments and Facts' said & nbsp; Independent specialist head geriatrician, MD, Professor Nadezhda Runikhina .

When does aging begin?

Maria Egorova, AiF: & nbsp; & mdash; Nadezhda Konstantinovna, at what age does old age begin?

Najda Runikhina: & mdash; There are different ideas about the start of the aging process. There is no medical description of what an old man is. There is a biological process that affects many organs and systems. It is done gradually. There are external signs, physiologists and pathophysiologists have described the aging processes occurring in various organs and tissues. As doctors, we focus on the age and health indicators of the patient, which vary greatly between people of the same age. For example, we looked at patients in the Citizen Centennial Project, in which many centenarians were very active, with a clear mind, a great sense of humor.

& mdash; What problems do Muscovites seek help from a geriatrician?

& mdash; Elderly people almost all seek medical help from doctors of various specialties, as there are certain health issues. Patients see geriatricians for specific geriatric issues related to age. These include the so-called Senile Asthenia Syndrome, which manifests as general weakness, trouble walking, falls, weight loss. It is a pathological variant of aging, a person becomes weak, very vulnerable. Any stress & ndash; acute illness, trauma and mdash; can become a trigger and trigger a process that rapidly degrades health and functional status.

Senile asthenia often develops in a patient who has many chronic diseases. Studies show that more than 40% of all elderly patients with chronic heart failure suffer from this geriatric syndrome. If the patient has diabetes mellitus, joint disease, high blood pressure, then these patients develop signs of senile asthenia more quickly. But senile asthenia can develop in an elderly patient without significant pathologies.

Reception at the geriatrician

& mdash; How to understand that you need a visit to the geriatrician and how is the appointment?

& mdash; Suddenly, an elderly person began to lose weight for no good reason or began to walk slowly, complaining of weakness, rapid fatigue. Physical activity began to decrease noticeably. All of this is a reason to make an appointment with a geriatrician. Geriatrician & ndash; is a doctor who has general therapeutic knowledge, knowledge in the field of neurology, psychiatry, psychotherapy, physiology of the aging process itself, geriatric syndromes. A distinguishing feature of an advisory appointment is that we perform a comprehensive geriatric assessment. This technology does not require any complex equipment, it takes knowledge and time to understand in detail the problems facing the patient. All geriatric syndromes are multifactorial & ndash; There are many reasons why a person has started to weaken and a more rapid type of pathological aging is formed which leads to functional disturbances and people quickly fall into the group of people addicted to it. outside help, lose their autonomy.

Geriatric syndromes & mdash; age-related conditions, the older a person, the more often they occur. Concomitant diseases, previous severe trauma, sensory deficits and ndash; vision or hearing loss, taking a large number of medications, memory impairment, depression & ndash; all of this also contributes to the development of senile asthenia and other geriatric syndromes. In a comprehensive geriatric assessment, we analyze this in detail, assess the physical, functional and cognitive state. Be sure to assess the patient's social status, clarify who the person lives with, who can provide support, what living conditions. Based on a comprehensive geriatric assessment, another treatment plan is developed. The patient is seen for at least an hour.

Loneliness shortens life

& mdash; Is it possible to get advice from relatives who are caring for an elderly person?

& mdash; We always welcome when an elderly person comes to an appointment with a geriatrician, accompanied by their loved ones & ndash; the people who care for him help him live. Many recommendations are addressed not only to the patient himself, but also to the family, relatives. You cannot counsel a family without seeing the patient. Relatives, if necessary, we give recommendations after examining the patient & ndash; how to eat, how to heal a wound, how to give medicine, how to exercise, teach the features of hygiene care. Therefore, we always work with the relatives of the elderly person. This is a common practice for physicians who work in home nursing and interact with families, caregivers and sometimes social workers caring for lonely elderly patients.

& mdash; Can I make an appointment with a geriatrician in a polyclinic?

& mdash; Geriatric clinics are open in several polyclinics. You can register for it on the recommendation of a general practitioner. You may also be referred for a geriatric consultation at hospitals for veterans of wars # 1, # 2 and # 3.

& mdash; Is it true that loneliness shortens life?

& mdash; This is the case, especially in old age, when a person becomes dependent on outside help. Of course, at any age, social support, family support is important, but for a weakened person it becomes vital. So when we do a full geriatric assessment, the social domain is essential.

Along with the relatives of a very debilitated patient, we also discuss the safety of a person's independent living and the possibility of a rapid response in an emergency. For example, if a person falls home and is alone then they should have a panic button, a phone, so they can call for help, which should be provided on as soon as possible. The elderly must not be alone, they must be supervised, supervised above all by their relatives, possibly neighbors, acquaintances, social workers. & nbsp;

& mdash; Why do older people today look younger than their peers, say 20-30 years ago?

& mdash; I think we have learned to age more slowly. On the one hand, there are biological prerequisites associated with advances in medicine. We started to take better care of ourselves. We started to pay more attention to our physical activity, to track our weight. That is, a biological premise based on knowledge of health and the use of the capabilities of modern medicine gives us the opportunity from a point of view physique to be younger and stronger. But it seems to me that the change in our psychology makes a great contribution. We are now seeing examples of successful aging. There was a psychological restructuring & ndash; we want to live long and active. And it significantly contributes to our appearance.

It is a very important time for modern people entering old age to have psychological preparation to be active, to learn, to perceive new things, to show interest and curiosity for life & ndash; this is very important.

& mdash; What do you think of the Moscow Longevity project? in terms of geriatrics?

& mdash; This is an amazing project that provides seniors with incredible opportunities to be active by participating in athletic, creative, intellectual and cultural programs. This helps prevent many geriatric problems associated with deficits in physical and cognitive activity. “Longevity of Moscow” & mdash; prevents loneliness. Because a person is involved in various social activities. He forms a circle of friends and acquaintances who support and control each other. We conducted research & ndash; assessment of the health status of older people participating in the Moscow Longevity project. And they found that when a person participates in two or more activities, for example, Scandinavian walking, painting, swimming, and something else, then their health indicators objectively improve. People improved their walking speed and cognitive status indicators: & ndash; memory, reflection. From the point of view of geriatrics, Moscow Longevity & mdash; it's just a brilliant project.

& mdash; How many long livers are there in Moscow?

& mdash; People 85 and over are considered centenarians, and there are many of them. There are more than 3 million elderly people in Moscow, and long livers & mdash; about 270 thousand

& mdash; What is healthy aging?

& mdash; There is debate as to whether aging can be considered a disease and whether it should be treated. But it is clear that there is physiology and there is a biological aging process, which has not been reversed. And there is the concept of age-associated diseases that occur in the elderly. These include hypertension, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, and type 2 diabetes mellitus – on the one hand, they are brought on by age. On the other hand, these diseases cause rapid and pathological aging, when the syndrome of senile asthenia is formed. The issues related to healthy aging are more related to prevention programs. Knowing geriatrics, studying the problems of people linked to pathological aging, we give recommendations to people to avoid these complications and to age in good health. These are programs aimed at supporting the elderly and senile in order to prevent the development of complications, senile asthenia and the progression of functional disorders.

Rejuvenating apples or living water?

& mdash; It would be naïve to wonder about the existence of old age pills, but are there ways to delay its approach medically, physiotherapy or by other means? Is it possible for the elderly to have a glass of wine or a glass of vodka?

& mdash; A glass of vodka, of course, is a strong drink & ndash; Better not. An occasional glass of wine can be drunk by a senior and a senior. I want to stress that the most important thing is & ndash; not to lose the meaning of life in old age. It is important that a person is not afraid to go on living. Anxiety and depression & ndash; these are some of the powerful factors that contribute to premature aging. It is therefore important to provide psychological, social support and to teach the elderly person to cope with this anxiety or depression. To be able to live, enjoy life in the company of friends with a glass of wine & mdash; everything is very well shown. & nbsp;

& mdash; What food prolongs the youth of the body?

& mdash; Food for young people & ndash; this is called the Mediterranean diet, balanced in protein, fat and fiber. We always focus on getting enough protein in the diet of the elderly. Because for people who age normally, one gram of protein per kilogram of weight is worth -; this is the norm. It is very important to maintain muscle mass. If a person has suffered from any disease, after injury or surgery, this rate increases to one and a half grams per kilogram of weight. These are meat, poultry, fish, dairy products. We always focus on vitamin D, as its deficiency increases with age.

& mdash; Where do we teach geriatrics? Only doctors, but nurses?

& mdash; In 2016, the Procedure for the provision of medical care in the “Geriatrics” profile was adopted and the standards for the provision of medical personnel were determined. Active staff training has started. Training is conducted at the Department of Diseases of Aging of the Faculty of Continuing Professional Education of the Russian National Medical Research University. OR. Pirogov. Additional training programs for Moscow doctors are also being implemented for Moscow. And it's not just further training. At the exit, they are doctors who, in addition to being certified as therapists, are also geriatricians.

And, of course, the doctors who work in patronage. They also receive training in the specialty “Geriatrics”. In addition, geriatric doctors are regularly trained, who work in outpatient clinics in consultation rooms. Geriatricians also work in geriatric wards, located in three veterans hospitals. (# 1, # 2, and # 3).

Of course, a doctor needs a nurse who must have additional geriatric training to perform a full geriatric assessment. And now a number of medical schools in Moscow have opened additional courses in geriatrics.

Therapists, endocrinologists and neurologists now receive additional training in geriatrics. Such courses are in great demand among surgeons, oncologists, orthopedists, since doctors of many specialties work with the elderly. Many questions in the field of geriatrics are asked by doctors of other specialties, so short targeted courses are also being implemented for them now.

In Moscow, an elderly person can receive geriatric consultation on an outpatient basis and inpatient care in three hospitals.

& mdash; On October 1, 2021, the United Nations International Day of Older Persons will be celebrated under the slogan Digital Equality for All Ages. Why is it important that older people also benefit from digitization?

& mdash; The world is changing and modern reality is such that digital technologies surround us very closely. And for a modern elderly person, it is very important to maintain the will to learn, to accept new technologies and not to be afraid. Be sure he will master anything new. And in the times to come, digital technologies will be even more numerous and they will have even more meaning for us. Until the end of their days, people will learn and master them. On the other hand, all digital technologies are needed to simplify people's lives and make them more comfortable. After all, when a senior comes to MFC, they only take one piece of ID, and all the rest are in electronic form. A unique system in the Moscow health care EMIAS & ndash; doctors can transfer information about a patient to each other, and the patient in their electronic medical record sees what has been assigned to them, what has been done. You can make an appointment online with a doctor and do some research. Everything is done to make life easier for people. Therefore, being progressive, energetic, light-hearted, open to learning and mastering digital technologies is very important for people entering old age. It is also psychological attitudes & ndash; don't get tired of learning and being curious & mdash; aging well is very important.

Postcoid symptoms that occur after recovery from COVID-19 can appear in a person due to a violation of protein bonds that affect the normal functioning of the body. This is the conclusion that scientists at the University of Rochester came to. Their research is presented in the journal PeerJ & mdash; Life & amp; Environment.

It is known that people who have recovered from coronavirus may experience post-clotting symptoms such as abnormal blood clotting, heart failure, kidney damage, confusion, memory impairment, stomach problems and the like. American experts have tried to explain the appearance of these signs.

The study indicates that SARS-CoV2 uses the ACE2 receptor to enter human cells. University staff decided to identify their protein partners. To do this, they developed a method to correlate the rate of change. & Nbsp;

Researchers, in particular, have identified a relationship between ACE2 and proteins involved in coagulation. Scientists believe this link may be the root cause of the bleeding disorder, which is one of the hallmarks of severe COVID-19.

Earlier it was reported that symptoms of COVID-19 this fall were different from what doctors observed in previous waves. They now look like signs of the flu.

Who guarantees the quality?

Old red brick, from which the walls are laid and at the top, near the roof, there is an ornament, large windows, cast iron- iron handrails on the stairs. It is perhaps all reminiscent of the age of this three story building. The rest & mdash; from interiors to equipment & mdash; supermodern.

It was built in present-day Reutov in 1917 as a factory, and now the AVK company has opened a large production and logistics complex here (5.5 thousand square meters) to supply food in hospitals in Moscow and the Moscow region.

The red ribbon was solemnly cut with the distinguished guests on September 29. But this is more of a symbolic event, because already now the complex is providing food to & nbsp; 60 medical institutions: 17 Moscow and 43, Moscow region, including in the city clinical hospital & nbsp; n ° 40, n ° 67 im. Vorokhobov, No. 50 from the name Spasokukotsky, No. 81 from the name Veresaeva, Filatov Hospital and Moscow Clinical Center for Voronovskoe Infectious Diseases. & Nbsp;

As the & nbsp; executive director of the company Yury Ostyuk , during 12 years of work in the field of social catering, the company built a perfectly functional algorithm for interaction with the management and dietetic services of hospitals, mastered all the nuances of the preparation and delivery of meals at catering units of medical establishments.

And it has become clear that the hospital catering system lacks specialized centers that can guarantee a high level of food quality control.

“ When the pandemic broke, this project became in high demand in covid hospitals. After all, it's not easy to organize food there. First of all, the question arose: how to feed people in & bdquo; red zone & ldquo; ? & mdash; Youri Ostiouk explained. & mdash; And so we came up with our concept, which we had already developed, and in 3 weeks we started production in Moscow. & # 39; & # 39;

Then it became clear that the tested model had good prospects, & mdash; and now a larger project has started. & nbsp;

4 healthy meals

The production and logistics complex performs many functions. Here the raw materials are accepted and checked in the laboratory, then & mdash; temporary storage. The next step & mdash; manufacture of dishes. For each medical institution, a set for each day is formed separately. And then they are delivered to hospitals by specialized vehicles.

The rations are individually packaged using a modified gas rack. This advanced technology greatly extends shelf life while preserving taste and appearance. In this case, you don't need to freeze the product or add preservatives to it.

Employees put neat transparent boxes with borscht, soups, goulash mashed potatoes, salads and other delicacies on movable shelves. Company technologists and hospital dieters have so far developed 4 diet tables: a soft diet, a high protein diet, a surgical diet and a diet for patients with diabetes sweet. But there are plans to expand the assortment to 9 tables.

The executive director of AVK explains that the local production facilities make it possible to prepare 60,000 dishes per day.

Manufacturers from the Moscow region

In addition to hospitals, the complex is ready to provide meals to schools in the Moscow region, especially since a separate food production facility has been established for children with nutritional needs (sick allergy ).

Attend the opening ceremony & nbsp; to the Minister of Education of the Moscow region Ilya Bronstein , according to him, it was necessary to ensure that all products undergo serious control on several levels, that there are decent technological conditions for storage, preparation, packaging and, above all, , fast and fast delivery.

And for the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the region As stated & nbsp; Minister Sergei Voskresensky , & nbsp; it is important that the new complex uses the products of producers of the Moscow region.

“ Today 40% of dairy and fermented milk products come from the Moscow region. But we want it to be 100%, & mdash; he said. & mdash; We are interested in our producers earning and paying taxes to the Moscow region treasury, for our region to develop. & # 39; & # 39; , because part of the taxes will go to the city treasury. In addition, 150 new jobs have already emerged.

“This suggests that the Moscow region is developing and offers good opportunities for business development”, & mdash; does he think.

The Russian Army will be equipped with the next-generation Metka portable anti-aircraft missile system. A Portable Anti-Aircraft Missile System (MANPADS) has a homing missile resistant to all types of optical interference. Other tactical and technical characteristics of this weapon were not disclosed. The Commander-in-Chief of the Land Forces, General of the Army announced the imminent arrival of the Oleg Salyukov complex.

The improvement of air defense systems and assets continues. One of the areas of development is associated with solving the problem of destroying air targets that attempt to “cheat” guided anti-aircraft missiles. For example, we are talking about targets such as a helicopter that shoots heat traps in order to ultimately disorient a missile launched from MANPADS.

Modern airborne defense systems are able to protect an airplane or helicopter with virtually no human intervention. In the event of an attack, various algorithms of actions are sewn into the on-board computer. In addition, the parameters of various types of radiation sources are stored in the system memory, which allows the system to classify the threat down to type and model. Such a degree of automation of the complex makes it possible to develop countermeasures as quickly as possible, which is of critical importance in combat: an anti-aircraft missile or an air-to-air missile. often hits the target within seconds of launching. & nbsp;

For example, the system is able to automatically detect a missile launch and activate the firing of passive interferences: false thermal targets and dipole reflectors. In addition, active protection in the infrared and radio fields is activated, which leads to the disruption of missile guidance systems and their departure to false targets.

The effectiveness of MANPADS of previous generations when attempting to destroy a target was often limited precisely by the possibility of striking aircraft that did not exhibit optical-thermal interference. “ Label '', according to the statement of Oleg Salyukov, “ crosses' '' such a restriction. As a result, this opens up new avenues for Army air defense calculations.

When arming troops with “ Mark '' MANPADS the effectiveness of fighting a variety of targets in the air will increase, including the already mentioned helicopters, as well as attack and unmanned aircraft. & nbsp;

However, now Russian anti-aircraft gunners are armed with Verba MANPADS. About what 'Willow & # 39; & # 39; worst 'Tags', no information. It is reported that the Willow missile heat traps and other interference are not misleading. This is achieved by a special three-spectra homing head operating in the ultraviolet and two infrared ranges. So, in theory, “ Verba '' has the same trap avoidance abilities as Tag.

In addition to missiles and launchers, Verba includes friend or foe recognition means, reconnaissance and control modules and the detection of aerial targets. The anti-aircraft complex is designed to destroy airplanes and helicopters, as well as cruise missiles and drones at altitudes of 10 m to 4.5 km and at a distance of 500 m to 6.5 km. These indicators greatly exceed the capabilities of foreign MANPADS. For example, the American FIM-92 Stinger is capable of shooting down targets at an altitude of 180 m to 3.8 km.

Also soon could be adopted such systems as a combat vehicle for anti-aircraft machine gun squads “ Typhoon-Air Defense '', a new complex of anti-aircraft missiles “ Pantsir-SM-SV '', a means of combating small unmanned aerial vehicles & mdash; “Derivation-Air Defense” 57mm anti-aircraft artillery complex.

Every year on October 1, the autumn conscription begins in Russia. 127,500 people will be called up for military service this fall. By way of comparison: a year earlier, 128,000 had been enlisted. What's going to change this year for the conscripts and their parents?

What's going to happen

On the eve of the start of the call, the staff plans were unveiled < strong> by the Chief of the General Directorate of the Organization and Mobilization of the General Staff (General Staff of GOMU), Colonel-General Yevgeny Bourdinski. & nbsp; According to him, the project commissions start their work on October 1, 2021 in all constituent entities of the Russian Federation, with the exception of a number of municipalities in the Far North, where the project takes place once a year. Here, the provisional committees will begin their work on November 1.

All military stations are pre-equipped with the necessary medical equipment, including 5 million medical masks and 200,000 test systems. Before conscription, more than 600,000 young people were examined remotely. The indicator far exceeds the number of those who will be called, which is good!

The next barrier defense against the coronavirus has been built on face-to-face exams. During these events, more than 135,000 recruits were tested for anti-coronavirus antibodies. More than 450 of them have been quarantined. They will no longer be called this year.

Compared to the previous fall 2021 call, there will be no significant differences. Is it a thing: the General Directorate of Organization and Mobilization has issued a special order for military registration and enlistment offices calling on the service of flood prone areas. “ Especially for recruits whose homes have been affected by flooding, it is necessary to use an individual approach, & mdash; noted the Chief of Staff of GOMU. & mdash; The decision should only be made after conducting interviews with the conscript and his parents and taking their wishes into account. ''

Be healthy!

There is more good news for those who will serve. In the armed forces of the Russian Federation, the health requirements of citizens called up for military service have been tightened. Reported by Deputy Head of the Main Center of Military Medical Expertise of the Ministry of Defense of the RF Vitaly Cherkashin . According to him, in order to improve the quality of the medical examination, changes have been made to the provisions relating to the military medical examination. “ Thus, health restrictions apply to citizens at risk of sudden death from cardiovascular disease, as well as to citizens after suffering from tuberculosis, '' & mdash; noted the lieutenant colonel of the medical service.

“ The tightening of approaches to selecting citizens for military service for health reasons is reflected in the Global Fitness Indicator, '' & mdash; Cherkachine said.

As a result, according to his data, due to improved exam quality, the recruit aptitude rate for the spring draft campaign was 73.5%, while at spring 2020 it was 76.4% and since 2016 it is around 75-76%.

What happened

Prior to the start of the fall conscription, it was not without summing up the results of the spring conscription. In April-July 2021, more than 134,000 people were sent for military service in units and formations. The events took place within the confines of the coronavirus pandemic. The first pre-conscription surveys of recruits were conducted remotely. In the following stages, during the check of barriers, which was carried out at the points of recruitment and collection, it was possible to identify more than 3,500 citizens with signs of infectious diseases. Naturally, neither of them entered the troops.

The conscripts were transported to the place of duty in 2 thousand separate cars that were part of the passenger trains.

There was no entrance for other passengers, as well as an exit for future soldiers. The bulk of the recruits were therefore transported: more than 79,000 people. 29 military echelons delivered more than 9,000 people to the barracks, 66 civil aviation flights & mdash; more than 5 thousand, 47 aviation flights of the Armed Forces & mdash; approximately 2,000. The remaining 38,000 people delivered & nbsp; by car. These data perhaps indicate a progressive refusal of the Armed Forces to recruit on a territorial basis. Although it has not been officially announced.

According to the results of the spring conscription, the military department notes a slow but steady increase in the age of the conscript contingent. The number of 18-year-olds enlisted in military service has declined by 4% since 2016.

The same can be said for the level of education. If in 2016 45% of citizens with secondary vocational education were called up for military service, then as a result of this call & mdash; over 66% (an increase of 21.6%).

The health of conscripts is improving as well. If in 2012 the number of citizens recognized as fit for military service amounted to 70%, then in 2020 this figure increased by 8% to 78%.

More than 672,000 people underwent medical examinations during the spring conscription campaign.

The FSB of Russia has approved a list of information in the field of military-technical activities that do not belong to state secrets, which, if they are transferred to other states, can be used against the security of the Russian Federation, reports RIA Novosti.

Persons who deliberately collect such data for foreign clients, in turn, may be recognized as foreign agents.

The corresponding decree approving this list was published on September 30 on the official portal of regulatory acts.

The list consists of 60 items. It included, in particular, information on the forecasts of the evolution of the military-political and strategic situation, information on the deployment of the armed forces and power structures, information on the methods of combat training of the military , etc.

The list also includes information on the results of research and development work on the creation and modernization of special weapons and equipment, as well as data on the activities of Roscosmos.

Earlier it was also reported that the State Duma intends to settle the issue of the liability of foreign agents for interference in the elections.

Tonnerre is the lead ship of Project 20385. It received its name in honor of the destroyer, which was built on the eve of the Great Patriotic War. Corvettes of this class are designed to work in the near sea area and are used to combat enemy surface ships and submarines, as well as for patrolling and amphibious assault artillery support .

The corvette was built in the company Severnaya Verf in St. Petersburg, launched on June 30, 2017. The cost of the corvette was about 18 billion rubles. It was originally planned that after the completion of the construction of the 'Thundering' will be part of the Northern Fleet, but after launch it was announced that the ship would go to the Pacific Fleet. The flag was hoisted and accepted into the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet on December 29, 2020.

Project 20385 is an improved version of Project 20380. The new ships differ from their predecessors in improved strike capabilities and a more powerful air defense system. The main difference of the project is the replacement of eight Kh-35 “ Uranus '' subsonic anti-ship missiles. for eight 'Caliber', 'Onyx' long-range cruise missiles or 'Zircon'.

In addition to the 'Thundering', the Project 20385 corvette series includes the 'Agile' corvette. It was also built in Severnaya Verf. Construction began in 2013, launch took place in September 2019 and delivery to the fleet is scheduled for late 2021. In August 2020, the Ministry of Defense signed a new state contract for the construction of several other corvettes of project 20385 with Severnaya Verf. & Nbsp;

Discreet ship

The vessel is manufactured using stealth technology and is invisible in the optical, radar and acoustic ranges.
