53. The development of healthcare in the late XX - early XXI centuries

Health care system during the years of the country's transition from a socialist to a democratic-capitalist system, it underwent strong transformations, which initially did not have the best effect on the health of the population.

Funding has been drastically reduced, making health care unavailable to all segments of the population, reducing the influence of government agencies and guarantees in this regard, and, as a result, the standard of living and the main vital indicators of health of large groups of the population have declined.

At the beginning of 1990, the resources allocated to medicine were extremely inefficient and incompletely used, since there was no clear structure for the provision of medical care. In addition, there was a clear bias towards the development of expensive types of medicine, and the system for the development of generally accessible, high-quality and financially easy medical and preventive care did not find a way out.

Health system reform began in 1991.

The Law on Compulsory and Voluntary Health Insurance was adopted, the main expected results of which were the partial elimination of the problems of financing the medical industry and relief for patients representing the largest groups of the population. The hopes placed on reform did not materialize. The health insurance system is still unfinished, but with sufficient development, many problems in the financial system of providing the medical industry can be solved.

After a long period of stagnation, 1996-1997, the situation began to improve somewhat. This improvement began with the adoption of the concept of development of health care and medical science. When adopting this concept, the Government of the Russian Federation approved and consolidated the course for a new strategy for reforms in the healthcare system. Since then, the most important task in the field of medicine has been to unite all existing health care systems by establishing close contacts between individual sectors, as well as establishing a balance in the processes of centralization and decentralization, public administration and self-government. Boundaries were also established between public institutions and private estates, and consequently, a system of private supplies to the medical services market developed. A line was established between the financing of government health care structures and the financing of medical needs and requirements.

As before, the fact that "health is not when you are treated and recover, but when you do not get sick" remained relevant. In this regard, the most important task, after providing the necessary medical care, was to provide a full range of preventive methods in order to maintain the health of the healthy.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Brewing coffee with a laser 27.09.2022

German scientists came up with a laser for making coffee. The device not only prepares a drink 300 times faster, but also reveals its taste and aroma properties better.

One of the popular ways of brewing coffee - cold-brew - involves cold extraction of the drink. Ground coffee beans are poured with water and left to infuse. It takes about 24 hours to brew a cold drink, but modern equipment reduces the time to 12 hours. There is a way to speed up the process.

The method is based on laser synthesis and processing of colloids (LSPC). It is usually used to create solutions of suspended nanoparticles. The researchers took a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser tuned to 532 nanometers and created 125 picojoule pulses that lasted just 10 picoseconds. After that, the laser passed through the coffee solution. They passed it through a solution of ground coffee mixed with water about 80 times per second for three minutes, never raising the temperature by more than a few degrees.

Laser coffee was compared to a cold-brew drink that was brewed for 24 hours and a hot cup of coffee brewed using a drip filter. The acidity in the laser coffee was almost identical to the level of the drink brewed for 24 hours, and significantly less than in hot coffee. The most fragrant coffee - traditional cold brew, and prepared with a laser - in second place.

In addition, no foreign substances were found in laser coffee.
