БОЛЕЗНИ ЦИВИЛИЗАЦИИ В АСПЕКТЕ УЧЕНИЯ В.И.ВЕРНАДСКОГО

В последние годы на медицинском факультете Российского университета дружбы народов периодически проводятся научные конференции международного масштаба, на которых в том или ином объёме обсуждаются проблемы, связанные с воздействиями на организм нарушений взаимоотношения человека со средой его обитания. Важность такой тематики стала несомненной с того момента, когда в мировой научной литературе впервые появился термин «Болезни цивилизации». Это определение включает в себя следующий смысл: «Болезни цивилизации - это результат безответственного и неправильного использования возможностей, предоставленных человеку цивилизацией» (Шош, Гати, Чолаи, 1972).

CIVILIZATION DISEASES IN THE SPIRIT OF V.I. VERNADSKY

The participants of conference unanimously agreed that the study of rhythms and broader chronomes both of the cosmos and of living organisms and of their interactions has now become (in their part of the world) one of the leading biological and medical disciplines. Results of biorhythmological investigations are not only of fundamental importance, but also play an extremely important applied role. Ignoring chronomedical regularities decreases the effectiveness of treatment and may even change the direction of its positive action into an undesirable effect, such as medications given to lower blood pressure that induce overswinging (CHAT, short for circadian hyper-amplitude-tension) and thus may lead to harm. By contrast, the advocated introduction of chronomic results in practice will favorably change health care. Hence, the participants at the symposium considered it necessary to: 1) continue to systematize investigation of cosmobiospheric interrelations; 2) publish reviews and original papers in the main journals of natural sciences and medicine; 3) systematically organize symposia and conferences in the fields of chronobiology and chronomics with special reference to chronoastrobiology; 4) organize special courses, student programs, prepare textbooks and handbooks; 5) organize special international and interdisciplinary research programs; 6) actively participate in existing projects; 7) supply mass media with information provided by specialists in these problems; 8) stress the interdisciplinary character of investigations by providing a coordinated analysis of synchronous medicobiological, chemical and geo-, helio- and cosmophysical data; 9) elaborate on the fundamental results to provide practical recommendations.
