Teacher, tutor, general (70<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Oleg L’vovich Evlanov)

March 14, 2022, retired Major General of Medical Service O.L. Evlanov turned 70 years old. After graduating from the IV Faculty of the Military Medical Academy in 1975, he served as a chief of medical service on a submarine of the double time Red Banner Baltic Fleet. Since 1979, when he became an adjunct in the Organization and Tactics Department of Medical Service of the fleet, Oleg Lvovich has connected all his further life with the Military Medical Academy. After finishing his postgraduate studies and defending his dissertation (1983), he became a teacher, and 10 years later, in 1993, he became the Head of the Department. Thereafter, he successively held the positions of the Head of Educational Department (1999), Deputy Head of the Academy for Academic Work (2002) and Deputy Head of the Academy for Academic and Scientific Work (2010). Since 2013, he worked in the Academic Department, and since 2021 in the Educational and methodological Department. Under his leadership introduction of educational standards, the first accreditation activities, establishment of certification system for medical and pharmaceutical specialists, creation of supplementary education system were carried out for the first time. On the initiative of O.L. Evlanov the Pedagogy Department was created in the Academy, where the training of adjuncts, novice teachers and advanced training of experienced lecturers are carried out. O.L. Evlanov successfully established the engagement between the departments and all the Academy subdivisions involved in the provision of educational activities such as clinics, faculties, training department, medical school and library. He built constructive relations with the heads of medical institutions of St. Petersburg, which allows carrying out the practical part of education at more than 150 city educational bases in a qualitative way. For his service to the homeland O.L. Evlanov achieved the Order For Military Merit and the Order of Honor, received the honorary title Honored Worker of Higher Education of Russian Federation, he received a commendation from the President of Russia, and in 2018 the Academic Council of the Academy elected him as an Honorary Doctor (1 figure).

When the patient falls out of bed, who pays?

Patient safety advocate Sue Sheridan learned about hospital errors the hard way. She recalls how, in 1995, her newborn son suffered severe brain damage when the hospital failed to run a 'ten dollar' blood test, which would have revealed neonatal jaundice. In 2002, her husband died after the hospital failed to notify him of a diagnosis of cancer. were simple Sheridan, now based in Boise, Idaho in the USA, says: They happened not because anyone was in a hurry or because this was so complex. In other words they were mistakes that should never have happened. Beginning in October 2008, Medicare, the US-government-administered social insurance programme providing health coverage to people aged 65 and over, stopped reimbursing hospitals for specific instances of this kind of error. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) drew up a list of 'reasonably preventable' mistakes, termed 'never-events', based on consultation with a variety of stakeholders and the recommendations of the National Quality Forum, a non-profit organization in the USA mandated by law to bring together people from across the health-care spectrum on measurement issues. In quantitative terms it is unclear what 'reasonably preventable' means exactly, and there is no clear guidance in the statute on which CMS policy is based. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The list features major blunders such as operating on the wrong body-part or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient's body, it also includes complications, such as severe bedsores, and certain injuries caused by patients' falls. Dr Edward Kelley, head of strategic programmes at the World Health Organization (WHO) Patient Safety Programme, notes that the 'never-events' concept has been enthusiastically supported by the business community in the USA and has also been picked up by several European countries active in WHO's Patient Safety Reporting and Learning Community of Practice. For Sheridan, the initiative makes sense in so far as it improves patients' safety, her approval is nuanced. As a widow and the mother of a boy disabled due to medical error, it is hard to understand hospitals being paid for such blatant disregard of guidelines and communication procedures. On the other hand, I understand the possible long-term negative effects of non-payment for a 'never-event'. So this has to be looked at very thoughtfully. Dr Robert Wachter, chief of medical service at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, also believes the concept needs careful examination particularly the issue of reasonable preventability. Originally, the 'never-events', which came out of National Quality Forum deliberations, referred to things like cutting off the wrong leg or leaving a sponge in someone's belly, he says. That those things should never happen is self-evident. But the list of 'never-events' has expanded to now cover things like bad bedsores. But do we really know how to prevent bedsores 100% of the time? No, we don't. Professor Peter Pronovost, a critical care specialist at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, concurs: Certain complications, like an object being left inside a patient after surgery are clear-cut, he says, but there are conditions such as air embolism and pressure ulcers (bedsores), that are not so straightforward. This being the case, one might think that impartial adjudication to separate preventable from non-preventable would be a key part of the policy. It isn't. On the patient's admission to hospital, a form is filled out noting the presence or absence of certain conditions, including pressure ulcers. These forms are coded. There is no opportunity to offer nuance (e.g. the patient is 98-years-old, the patient is morbidly obese) for the simple reason that assessment is not done on a case-by-case basis. CMS has made efforts to improve the coding, allowing the examining doctor the option of replying 'don't know' for example, the coded forms remain a necessarily blunt instrument. …

Its protean clinical manifestations make it a difficult diagnostic problem at times, but early treatment has such an important bearing on prognosis that its prompt recognition is important. Unfortunately, most reports have emphasized the clinical picture of amebic abscess, usually a late manifestation of the disease, so that many cases go unrecognized and untreated.Numerous studies1have established the fact that amebiasis of the colon is a relatively common disease in the United States.

THE CAUSE OF DEATH IN PNEUMONIA

My purpose in this study was to investigate the immediate cause of death in pneumonia, both from a clinical and from an anatomic standpoint. The material consists of 200 consecutive cases of pneumonia, which were studied clinically and which finally came to autopsy in the Fourth Medical Service at Bellevue Hospital. The autopsies were performed by various members of the pathologic staff under the chief pathologist, who has permitted me to utilize the material in this manner. The clinical studies were based on the usual records of the cases under the regular attending physicians and their associates of the division, with additional notes when possible of the immediate manner of death. During the war as chief of medical service at the Camp Upton Base Hospital, as senior consultant in medicine to the Second Army, A. E. F., 1918-1919, and finally after the armistice attached to the army laboratory at Dijon,

THE EPIDEMIC OF MUMPS AT CAMP WHEELER, OCTOBER, 1917-MARCH, 1918

It is through the kindness and courtesy of Maj. Joseph Sailer, M. R. C., Chief of Medical Service at the Base Hospital, Camp Wheeler, Georgia, that this paper is presented. Methods of procedure, arrangement of the work and inspiration for a rather monotonous task were all drawn from him by the various ward surgeons who have treated mumps. It is due to him alone — and this cannot be too clearly stated — that a stupid and insignificant disease became interesting. Patients with mumps have occupied almost half of the hospital for three months. An epidemic of such volume raises mumps to the dignity of a disease. Of approximately 18,000 men in the Thirty-First Division, there were 5,756 cases, an incidence of 32 per cent. Every third man in the division, in other words, has had mumps. Of 13,638 total admissions to the hospital to March, 1918, almost one half
