History

2023

iPhone ban

In mid-September 2023, it became known that employees of a number of Russian medical institutions began to be banned from using devices, Apple including. smartphones iPhone

According to Kommersant the newspaper "," the initiative comes from the leadership of some clinics Moscow and. In St. Petersburg particular, the corresponding order was issued by the administration of the National Medical and Surgical Center (NMCC) named after N.I. Pirogov. We are talking about a ban on the use of Apple technology for work communications. Instead of the iPhone, it is proposed to use Russian devices, both Ayya Aquarius F+ Chinese and. Huawei Xiaomi Moreover, the Honor order does not say that the medical institution will provide suitable gadgets, so employees will have to purchase them on their own.

employees of a number of Russian medical institutions began to prohibit the use of Apple devices

Assistant Minister of Health of the Russian Federation Aleksei Kuznetsov said that medical workers of subordinate institutions are informed "about the need to avoid certain actions, the use of services or equipment with certain software and hardware vulnerabilities that have discredited themselves in terms of information security."

Russian medical institutions began to introduce other bans. So, in the aforementioned NMCC, it is impossible to conduct working correspondence in WhatsApp, Skype, Viber, Microsoft Teams and Google services. In addition, doctors are not advised to use smartwatches and fitness bracelets, since these wearable gadgets "can transmit biometric data, geolocation and other personal information." Plus, in some cases, it is forbidden to activate GPS and Bluetooth.

Such measures are designed to prevent the leakage of information constituting a medical secret. However, market participants say that in practice it will be quite difficult to monitor compliance with the requirements. In addition, smartphones used by doctors for personal purposes are not classified by law as a critical infrastructure that requires special protection measures.^[1]

Russian scientists have found an effective combination of nanoparticles against breast cancer cells

Scientists of the University of MISIS and RNIMU named after N.I. Pirogova created a combination of magnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide (III) (MCH) with redox-sensitive substances (from the English redox - REDuction-OXidation, i.e. sensitive to cellular redox processes), which can become a promising basis for multifunctional nanomaterial for the treatment of cancer. Exposure can be particularly effective in treating cancer cells sensitive to ferroptosis, such as 4T1 breast cancer cell line. This effect is described for the first time in the world in the international scientific journal Pharmaceuticals (Q1). This was announced on July 11, 2023 by representatives of NUST MISIS.

Opening of a children's federal rehabilitation center

In early June 2023, a federal children's rehabilitation center was opened in Podolsk near Moscow. About 6 thousand patients a year will be able to receive modern specialized care here. Read more here.

2022: Being sanctioned by the US

Russian National Research Medical University (RNIMU) named after N.I. Pirogov fell under US sanctions, which became known at the end of August 2022. According to the university, international joint programs have ceased to be available, but Russian diplomas for them continue to operate.

RNIMU will be much more difficult to work without American equipment. Previously, the institution acquired quite a lot of it: RNIMU purchased large quantities of foreign equipment, including mass spectrometer equipment, which is used to analyze organic and inorganic compounds.

US imposed sanctions against Russian medical university

In August 2022, the "daughter" of RNIMU - the Exoplast company - announced that it had become a manufacturer in [[Moscow Region (Moscow Region)] of the Moscow Region] in the DNA Technologies company NGS-nucleic acid sequencer for analysis genome under the GA-2000 brand. This equipment - is an adaptation of the sequencer of the Beijing Genome Institute in. RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Among the market players involved in the healthcare industry under US sanctions by the beginning of September 2022 are the structures of the Rostec Group of Companies, the Skolkovo Foundation, the eponymous technopark and the Skolkovsky Scientific and Technological Institute, as well as the Himmed Group of Companies, specializing in the sale of chemical reagents and equipment for laboratories. In addition, Femteko (engaged in the supply of high-tech equipment and consumables for the fields of chemical analysis and spectrometry), Pharmcontract chemical and pharmaceutical holding (carries out the comprehensive creation and equipment of pharmaceutical, chemical, food, biotechnology industries), Rau Pharm (engaged in the supply of medical equipment, laboratory and analytical equipment and reagents) and other enterprises.^[2]

2021: Receiving a grant in the amount of 426 million rubles from the Ministry of Education and Science to reach the world level

In early October 2021, it became known that the First Moscow State Medical University named after I.M. Sechenov (Sechenov University) and the Russian National Research Medical University named after N.I. Pirogov, which belong to the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, received grants from the Ministry of Education and Science in the amount of 426 million rubles. Read more here.

2020: Cancer cell pH level becomes foundation of targeted drug delivery system in cancer therapy

On November 26, 2020, it became known that the scientific team of NUST MISIS, SibGMU and RNIMU named after N.I. Pirogova discovered that the efficiency of penetration of magnetic nanoparticles with a drug into the tumor depends on the pH level of its microenvironment (tissues). The results of the study will help create an oncotherapeutic "accurate hit" and are published in the international scientific journal Nanomedicine. Read more here.

2011: Renamed as RNIMU

In 2011, by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation, the Russian State Medical University (RSMU) was renamed the Russian National Research Medical University (RNIMU) named after N.I. Pirogov.
