Role and significance in medical consequences of radiation incidents in peaceful time that belongs to Military Field Therapy Departament’s in S.M. Kirov Military Medical Academy in the system of medical catastrophes services belonging to Defense Ministry of Russian Federation

Abstract

In the period of over 60 years the Military Field Therapy Departament was consistently involved in rectification and study of the medical consequences of the radiological accidents, accompanied by radiation exposure. Problems of radiation pathology took a leading place in scholastic, scientific and clinical research of Departament s staff. Scientific research was based on established at Departament experimental toxic-radiological laboratory where different types of radiation injury were simulated. Obtained results were penetrated into educational process and have found practical application in the treatment of victims of the accident at the nuclear submarine. Patients with other forms of radiation damage were treated in the clinic of military field therapy in the following years. There are 2 cases of radiation disease due to intestinal irradiation caused by radium poisoning, intestinal case of radiation disease, which was treated using extracorporal haemosorbtion. After Chernobyl disaster Departament s research is concentrated on biological outocomes of «low dose radiation». In the course of the research we obtained scientific data contributing to the formation of a unified view of the role of small doses of ionizing radiation in the development of somatic pathology in the early and remote periods after radiation exposure.
