In addition, during the year more than five and a half thousand children receive medical care, and more than twenty-five thousand children visit the clinic per day.

Consultation and Diagnostic Center

The Consultative and Diagnostic Center became part of the Research Institute “Scientific Center for Children's Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (Lomonosovsky Prospekt) in 2006.

Both paid services and services under the voluntary health insurance system are provided here. Emergency care can be obtained at any time of the day for any children from birth to 18 years of age with unknown conditions or exacerbations of chronic diseases. Upon admission to the department, the doctor conducts a quick diagnosis of the condition. If necessary, children are placed with one of their parents in an inpatient room.

The Scientific Center for Children's Health (Lomonosovsky Prospekt, 2) also includes a consultation department. The department operates in two shifts from early morning to late evening, including weekends. This is done for the convenience of working parents. It is these families who most often come to this department on Saturday and Sunday.

One hundred and sixty-three specialists are accepted here, assistance is provided in thirty-three pediatric areas, such as allergology, genetics, arthrology, gynecology, cardiology, physical therapy, orthodontics, dentistry, surgery, and so on.

Office equipment

All CDC offices are equipped with the latest equipment. The structure of the advisory department also includes an ENT office, where a comprehensive approach to identifying ENT diseases is carried out, which includes: otoscopy, otomicroscopy, endoscopy of the nasopharynx, acoustic impedance measurement, and, if necessary, computed tomography of the temporal bones.

The Consultative and Diagnostic Center, part of the Scientific Center for Child Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, provides both emergency and necessary medical care for the treatment of children.

Rehabilitation centers

Doctors say that the main thing in medicine is not to cure a disease, but to prevent it. It is even more important to take a course of restorative medicine after treatment. The Scientific Center for Child Health includes rehabilitation centers in various areas. In such centers there are children with musculoskeletal disorders, who have suffered serious eye or heart diseases, and who have developmental delays.

Mental Health Center

The Children's Mental Health Research Center is the country's leading research institution in the field of mental illness. The main activities of this institution are as follows:

  • New methods for diagnosing, treating and preventing such diseases are being developed.
  • The latest methods of therapy and rehabilitation courses are being introduced.
  • Social adaptation of people who have suffered mental disorders.
  • Scientific research into mental health issues is being conducted.
  • New forms of mental health care are being researched and implemented.

Mental health problems often occur in childhood. If the disease is not cured in time, it can have a devastating effect on the human brain and can lead to death (usually suicide). Therefore, the Scientific Center for Mental Health of Children and Adolescents pays special attention to the development of issues of diagnosing mental illnesses, especially in the early stages of development. The research work carried out by the Scientific Center for Children's Health makes it possible to recognize the disease and, by combining harmless medications and corrective techniques, achieve significant results, and sometimes completely cure the disease.

Developments in children's mental health

Enormous work is being done in the direction of pathological changes in mental health in young children. Some developed methods become standardized. This is, for example, the “Scheme for assessing the neuropsychic state in children under three years of age.” There is also a group of scientists who research childhood autism, studying its typology and clinical indicators. A number of correctional techniques have already appeared that can alleviate the condition of sick children and make their adaptation to society more realistic. This research department operates a kindergarten for children with autism, which allows scientists to observe children for longer periods of time during the day. This helps to achieve the most correct research results and implement special techniques.

Method of “Comparison of Concepts”

It is known that a mental illness such as schizophrenia leads to pathology of thought processes. Employees of the Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences S.E. Strogova, and A.I. Khromov developed the “Comparison of Concepts” method to study the impairment of mental activity in children and adolescents with this disease. After applying this effective technique, the picture of the disorders becomes clear, which allows you to choose effective treatment.

Rehabilitation Center of the Research Institute of Pediatrics

Recently, a rehabilitation center of one of the institutes of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, the Research Institute of Pediatrics, opened on an area of ​​more than six thousand square meters. It includes 12 branches. Here, individual rehabilitation treatment programs for children are developed and implemented. The specialists of this center plan to prepare young athletes to participate in sports Olympiads, Spartakiads, and competitions at various levels. This rehabilitation center also works as a Scientific Center for Child Health, conducting research in all necessary areas of activity.

Activities of the Research Institute of Hygiene and Health Protection of Children and Adolescents of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences

At this scientific research institute, a huge amount of work is being done to develop such theoretical principles as:

  • Adaptation of the child's body.
  • Identification of patterns of growth and development of children, study of health status.
  • Hygienic standardization.

An analysis of work over the last five years has made it possible to identify patterns of change in the younger generation, explain the reason for the deterioration and make a forecast for the near future. Also, based on the research, new data was obtained on children’s adaptation to the educational process and hygienic standards for education were developed. Conclusions were drawn about early employment, when a child combines study and work, and the negative impact of this form of existence on the child’s body was proven. Standards for carrying heavy objects for boys and girls aged 14-17 were developed and scientifically substantiated, and hygiene standards were developed for vocational schools and colleges. Research work was also carried out to study the clothing of children and adolescents and the materials from which they are made. Based on these studies, a list of requirements that children's clothing must meet has been compiled.

The Research Institute of Hygiene and Health Protection of Children and Adolescents of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences is actively developing regulatory documentation aimed at preserving and maintaining the health of the younger generation. It is presented in the form of monographs, collections and other literature.

So, the Scientific Center for Children's Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences is the largest state scientific and practical institution. He provides both the necessary medical care at the highest level and is engaged in research activities, promoting Russian medicine.

health of children and adolescents.

The entry of the Research Institute of Hygiene and Health Protection of Children and Adolescents into the Scientific Center for Children's Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences together with the Institute of Pediatrics is not accidental. Hygiene for children and adolescents has much in common with pediatrics. And this, first of all, is a common task - raising a healthy, harmoniously developed younger generation. The main difference between them is that the hygiene of children and adolescents deals with mass populations, studies group health status and develops health measures in relation to large groups of children united by common characteristics (gender, age, health status, etc.).

History of the Institute

Pediatrics, as a science, deals with individual children and the pediatrician makes a diagnosis and prescribes therapeutic and health procedures for each child, depending on the specific circumstances.

For a pediatrician, a children's team is a sum of individuals; for hygienists, an individual is a part of a team.

For a pediatrician, the object of influence is the child, taking into account the external environment; for the hygienist, the object of influence is the external environment based on taking into account the child’s reaction to this environment.

Pediatrics strives to improve the child’s body, and hygiene strives to organize and, if necessary, transform the environment, based on the age-related properties and capabilities of the child and adolescent.

The Institute is the only research institution of this profile in the Russian Federation, is the leading scientific institution on hygiene and health protection of children and adolescents, on its basis the Scientific Council on Hygiene and Health Protection of Children and Adolescents of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences on the problem is organized and functions.

Since 2000, the Research Institute of Hygiene and Health Protection of Children and Adolescents, on behalf of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, has been the National Center for Support of the Russian Network of Health Schools (RSHZ).

History of the Institute

Taking into account the tasks posed by hygienic science and practical healthcare to the Institute, a concept of scientific research was developed, based on the uniqueness of the body at each stage of its development, and, in connection with this, involving the development of hygienic standards and regulations taking into account the sex and age of the child, condition his health and level of development achieved.

A scientific research methodology was developed: the use of a natural hygienic experiment in organic combination with laboratory research and methods of sanitary statistics.

Based on the proposed concept and methodology, the Institute carries out in-depth research on the scientific substantiation of hygienic norms and regulations, methods of prevention, improvement of medical and psycho-social care for children and adolescents, strengthening of physical, somatic, mental and reproductive health, ensuring the favorable development of children and adolescents, reducing morbidity, disability.

Since the establishment of the Institute, the following scientific directions have been developed:

  • occupational hygiene (educational, labor, professional, educational, sports);
  • hygiene of the material environment (layout, landscaping, microclimate, lighting, sanitary and epidemiological requirements for the content and operating hours of educational institutions; equipment, textbooks, clothing, shoes, toys, etc.);
  • food hygiene;
  • patterns of morpho-functional, psycho-physiological and psycho-social development;
  • health status of children's groups.

The structure of the Institute corresponds to these main scientific areas of activity.

History of the Research Institute of Pediatrics

80 years ago, on November 10, 1922, the board of the People's Commissariat of Health approved the regulations on the State Scientific Institute of Maternity and Infancy Protection. V.P. Lebedeva, who headed the Department of Maternity and Infancy Protection of the People's Commissariat of Health, united the old obstetric institution with the Baby Protection House into a single institution, strengthened by a number of newly organized laboratories and theoretical departments. The Institute of Pediatrics became the newly created institution. From the moment of its opening, the following departments began to function: obstetrics and gynecology with a department for newborns, the department of physiology of early childhood with physiological and biochemical laboratories, the department of education and social hygiene of mother and child, the department of childhood pathology with a number of clinics The institute also had a number of demonstration institutions: consultation for young children, a nursery, and a Mother and Child Home. Courses were held here to train nursing staff - teachers and sisters for work in various clinics. The first director of the institute was a professor, later a corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Full Member of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, Hero of Socialist Labor Georgy Nesterovich Speransky.

Since its foundation, the institute has always been headed by leading pediatricians and organizers of children's health - Fanya Isaakovna Zborovskaya, Maria Nikolaevna Kazantseva, then academician of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences Olga Dmitrievna Sokolova-Ponomareva.

The history of the institute has its milestones, its important turning points

1940- year of transformation into the Institute of Pediatrics of the People's Commissariat of Health of the RSFSR.

Autumn 1941- evacuation to Sverdlovsk. The main task of the institute is to help children evacuated from the front line. The search for milk substitutes is underway, and measures to prevent dystrophy and many other diseases are being developed.

1943- the institute returns to Moscow. The team is saved and resumes interrupted research.

1945- the institute was given the honor of recognition of its scientific merits; it is one of the institutions of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences. The research planned at the institute dictated the need to form new scientific, diagnostic and therapeutic units. Thus began work on the study of nervous and mental illnesses in children, and a department was organized to study the development and education of young children.

1947- the institute was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.

1962- accommodation in a new building, in which the institute is still located. The move was marked by a radical restructuring of the work of the team: the structure of the institute changed, the management and leading scientific personnel were replaced, the scientific directions and practical activities of the institute changed. Over the next ten years, a number of departments were organized within the walls of the institute, which began to develop new scientific topics. Most of them were created for the first time in the country: nephrology department, allergology, arthrology, hematology, surgery, gastroenterology group, functional diagnostics department, physical therapy and sports medicine department, clinical virology laboratory, cytochemistry laboratory, children's health laboratory, department of planning and forecasting of scientific research .

1972- the institute was awarded the Order of Lenin.

1992- the institute was renamed into the Research Institute of Pediatrics of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.

1998
- The Research Institute of Pediatrics became part of the Scientific Center for Children's Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, which is currently the largest scientific and practical pediatric institution in Russia, with first-class specialists in all areas of pediatrics. New directions continue to develop at the institute: departments of hospital-replacement technologies, a department of metabolic diseases and osteoporosis, a department of otorhinolaryngology, a department of gastroenterology have been created, and genetic research has begun.
