Методы и приборы космической кардиологии на борту Международной космической станции
Космическая кардиология как важный раздел космической медицины является постоянным источником инноваций, важных не только для космоса, но и для земной медицины и физиологии. Эту инновационную роль космической кардиологии можно проследить начиная с первых пилотируемых космических полетов, когда впервые были введены в практику методы анализа вариабельности сердечного ритма, до сегодняшних полетов на МКС, где активно используются такие уникальные методы, как пространственная баллистокардиография и вероятностная оценка риска дезадаптации и нарушения здоровья. В предлагаемой коллективной монографии «Методы и приборы космической кардиологии на борту Международной космической станции (МКС)» представлены результаты развития этого нового научно-практического направления за последние 15 лет. Обобщаются работы, выполненные Институтом медико-биологических проблем РАН совместно с ООО «Медицинские компьютерные системы». Описываются как приборы, установленные на борту МКС, так и полученные с их помощью научные результаты. В заключении рассматриваются перспективы организации новых космических экспериментов на борту МКС.

Drug Utilization Research. Methods and Applications
Drug Utilization Research (DUR) is an eclectic scientific discipline, integrating descriptive and analytical methods for the quantification, understanding and evaluation of the processes of prescribing, dispensing and consumption of medicines and for the testing of interventions to enhance the quality of these processes. The discipline is closely related and linked mainly to the broader field of pharmacoepidemiology, but also to health outcomes research, pharmacovigilance and health economics. Drug Utilization Research is a unique, practical guide to the assessment and evaluation of prescribing practices and to interventions to improve the use of medicines in populations. Edited by an international expert team from the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE), DUR is the only title to cover both the methodology and applications of drug utilization research and covers areas such as health policy, specific populations, therapeutics and adherence.
Geriatric Emergencies. A Discussion-based Review
