Man as an individual in a group is formed, it is the direct and indirect expression of intergroup relations. The
significance of the individual, especially in that group - a certain
system activity, given its place in the social division of labor in psychology in Grand Canyon University.
The
group itself is the subject of a certain kind of activity, and through
it is included in the whole system of social relations. In
this regard, the group serves as the most complete reflection of the
indigenous features of the social system within which it is formed and
operates.
Group
- is limited in the size of a community to be disbursed from the social
whole on the basis of certain characteristics (the nature of the
activity, or social class, structure, composition, level of development,
etc.).
The most common division of groups by size into large and small groups. Large
groups may be conditional, and include subjects that have no direct or
indirect objective relationships with each other, may never even see
each other, but in connection with a sign on which they were allocated
in such a group have common social and psychological characteristics (national, age, sex, etc.).
In contrast to large groups, small groups - it is always in direct contact individuals united by common goals and objectives. A distinctive feature of the small group is the relative simplicity of its internal structure. It
is understood that in a small group there is usually an authoritative
leader (if the group is informal), or an authoritative leader (if the
group is official), around which the rest of the group together as non profit debt consolidation.
By
differentiating the nature of their organization, which regulates the
interaction of group members, it should be noted that the formal
organization involves preconceived outside the group structure, while
the informal organization of the group for the internal structural
features, which are formed as a result of psychological rather than
legal human interaction.

Public Health Informatics Application
In the present
conditions of health care reform more urgent training in the use of advanced
information technologies, including and on the basis of
computer technology. Particularly
acute problem arises in the framework of expanding the country's participation
in the global information and educational space, as well as the increasing role
of advanced management techniques. It
should be noted that to date in higher medical education did not work out
common approaches to building a learning process for the development of
programs in medical informatics.
Public health and health care as an independent medical science is studying the impact of social conditions and environmental factors on population health in order to develop preventive measures for its improvement and the improvement of medical care. Public health informatics has been studying a wide range of medical, sociological, economic, administrative, philosophical problems in specific historical conditions.
Only this approach allows for the preparation of students at advanced users who know how to purposefully use computers for more efficient execution of their duties. Implementing this approach requires a multi-year coordinated effort, as well as a clear interaction with the health care practice. It is for this path was carried out development of the educational process in computer science and management in the medical academy.
The characteristics of the group, regional, public health in the statics and dynamics are considered as an integral state of health of all individuals taken together. It should be understood that it is not just the amount of data, and the amount of inter-related quantitative and qualitative indicators.
More than 10 years ago, before the organization of medical informatics course - some of these issues were included in the curriculum department medbiofiziki. This stage is characterized by the lack of willingness to younger students to take the specifics of the health care industry and the lack of a focused preparation for the medical application of computer technology on older courses. In this first mastered the basic concepts of computer science and cybernetics, and algorithmic foundations of programming principles and practice devices to computers. Particular attention is paid to the development of elements of work for medical devices with microprocessors and main areas of application of technology to solve problems in biology and medicine.
Further strengthen the foundations of biological cybernetics promote the use of computers in the departments of physiology, biochemistry and biology in understanding the processes of modeling of physiological and bio-energy functions, as well as in monitoring the education received by students of junior courses.
There are a number of issues that require further attention at the federal level. Increasingly there is a need to create industry-wide training manuals for these activities. It should speed up the formation of unified approaches to the definition of terms used in medical informatics, and to methods of teaching the discipline. There is a need for increased training hours for medinformatike, as well as to improve the training and retraining of teachers. In general, to improve the coordination of work on this activity.
These and many other pressing issues were discussed at the first nationwide educational-methodical conference on the teaching of medical informatics in higher educational institutions of the country, held in late 2005 at the Department of Medical Cybernetics and Informatics, Russian State Medical University. The conference adopted specific solutions to address existing problems and improve the quality of students and physicians in medical informatics.

Medical Device-Computer Systems
An important variety of specialized nursing information systems are a medical device-Computer Systems (MDCS).Currently, one of the areas of information medicine is a computerized medical device. Using a computer in conjunction with the measurement and control equipment in medical practice has created new and effective means to provide automated collection of information about the patient's condition and its treatment in real time and manage her condition.
This process led to the creation of MPCS, which raised to a qualitatively new level of instrumental methods of investigation and intensive care. MPCS relate to health information systems baseline. The main difference between this class of systems - work in direct contact with the object of study in real time. They are complex hardware and software systems. To work MPCS addition of computer technology, requires special medical devices, equipment, TV technician, communications.
Typical representatives of MPCS are medical monitoring of patients, for example, when performing complex operations of the computer analysis of data tomography, ultrasound, radiography, computer-aided analysis of microbiological and virological investigations, analysis of cells and tissues.In MPCS, there are three main components: medical, hardware and software.With regard to the MPCS medical care includes ways to implement the selected range of health problems to be solved in accordance with the possibilities of hardware and software systems.
To ensure the health kits include the methods used, the measured physiological parameters and methods of measurement, methods and permissible limits of exposure to the patient.Under the hardware to understand how to implement the technical part of the system including means for obtaining biomedical information, means of implementation of therapeutic effects and computer equipment.Go to the software include mathematical methods for processing biomedical information, algorithms, and the actual programs that implement the operation of the system.

Procedures Recommended Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle
For the procedure turn cavitation apparatus and by working maniples processes the fat zone. Its area is 25 square centimeters. The volume of the extracted fat from the body in one session of cavitation is approximately equal to 15 cubic centimeters. It should be noted that fat tissue has a low density, but has a large amount, so the patient feels the first decrease in volume. After completion of the procedures recommended maintaining a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition and water treatments. The study REMOTE (The Research on Electronic Monitoring of OAB Treatment Experience) is carried out in the U.S. model of Participatory Patient-Centered (PPC) and is aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of the drug Detrol LA (tolterodine tartrate), for the treatment of overactive bladder.
After years of stagnation in cosmetology and aesthetic medicine and MS in medical informatics has finally appeared safe and effective means of solving the problems of excess weight and cellulite. In this study, Pfizer and its partners, the researchers hope to determine whether the results match the results of a previous REMOTE conventional clinical studies in Phase IV of the same drug, and generally to assess the possibility of a virtual interaction with patients in clinical research programs.
Project REMOTE – this is the first randomized “virtual” clinical study protocol IND, which suggests that the patient’s consent to participate in the study will be obtained via the Internet, for which the patient is first asked to watch the video about the trials, and then fill out an online questionnaire. The drug or placebo will be delivered to program participants at the house, instead of the usual procedure, the patient received during their visit to the doctor-researcher.
For the duration of the procedure of ultrasonic cavitation should not exceed 60 minutes. Sessions are allowed to spend no more than once in ten days. The full course consists of 3-4 sessions. If you need a specialist beautician can in six months to appoint a second supporting course consisting of one to three treatments.
The procedure is carried out in conjunction with cavitation that can accelerate the process of withdrawal of broken fat cells through the lymphatic system and drainage. Cavitation is the only direct way of therapeutic effects on fat cells, can rightly be called non-surgical liposuction and abdominoplasty.

If you need a specialist beautician can in six months to appoint a second supporting course consisting of one to three treatments.
The procedure is carried out in conjunction with cavitation, lymph drainage and pressure therapy treatments that can accelerate the process of withdrawal of broken fat cells through the lymphatic system and drainage.
Prior to that, this effect can be achieved only with the help of plastic surgery, where instead of cavitation and pressure therapy applied abdominoplasty. The duration of treatment of ultrasonic cavitation, in conjunction with lymphatic drainage and pressure therapy is equal to 60-90 minutes. Produced by the effect becomes noticeable after the first session, and the subsequent conduct only intensified.
The volume of the extracted fat from the body in one session of cavitation is approximately equal to 15 cubic centimeters. In volume, this corresponds to a loss of 3 to 5 inches in the waist at one time. The accumulation of fat after the withdrawal of fission products in the place of treatment is very difficult. After the procedure, the client loses the weight and volume. It should be noted that fat tissue has a low density, but has a large amount, so the patient feels the first decrease in volume. After completion of the procedures recommended maintaining a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition and water treatments.

Should I use antibiotics for conjunctivitis in children
A group of doctors from the United Kingdom conducted a randomized, double-blind study to compare the effectiveness of eye drops with chloramphenicol and placebo in children with infectious conjunctivitis in ambulatory practice. The study involved 326 children between the ages of 6 months. up to 13 years. Every eighth child in the UK every year there is an episode of acute infectious conjunctivitis. Usually in such cases, the doctor prescribes an antibiotic for topical use.
However, data on whether use of antibiotics in infectious conjunctivitis are contradictory. The children were randomized into 2 groups: a group of chloramphenicol and placebo - for 163 children. Each patient climbed swab for bacteriological and virological investigations. The primary outcome was recovery on day 7 of treatment. The state was estimated based on the diaries of children who completed their parents. Follow-up period was 6 weeks, during which determined the frequency of relapses. Failed to conduct follow-up of nine children (one of the chloramphenicol group and 8 in the placebo group).
His recovery was observed in 140 (86%) of 162 patients in the chloramphenicol and 128 (83%) of 155 children of the control group. Recurrence of conjunctivitis for 6 weeks was observed in 7 patients (4%) children treated with antibiotics, and 5 (3%) receiving placebo. Differences in these parameters were not statistically significant. Causative agent of bacterial eradication rate was higher in the group receiving the antibiotic (40%), compared with the placebo group (23%), but this had no effect on clinical recovery. Adverse drug reactions are equally rare in both groups of children.
At present, the occurrence of acute infectious conjunctivitis is a standard local application of antibiotics. However, due to increased antibiotic resistance need to use antibiotics for conjunctivitis is controversial. The results of this study also indicate that the pinkeye caused to the children in the outpatient setting is prone to self-resolve, and usually use antibiotics in these situations is not required.

Career Myth 1 - The Graduate Can Easily Find High-Paying Job
Myth 1. The graduate can easily find high-paying job
Typically, such a view appears when you hear the magic story of how a health systems manager and classmate got a job immediately began to receive $ 2,000. Or my mother's friend in conversation to show off his son - a successful IT-engineer with experience three months. Do not blindly believe everything they say, and expect a lot at once.
Expert Opinion. "Indeed, often the requirements to graduate salaries, are clearly too high - confirms the belief Anistsyna, head of recruiting personnel center" UNITY ". - We need to clearly understand that a person who has experience with 4-5 courses in the specialty, the salary will be higher than someone who just learned. Also, initially at a higher income may qualify the graduate, who, in addition to a diploma, are there any additional knowledge (for example, several foreign languages) or a diploma of specialized courses. "
Experience suggests. "Parents and friends are always assured me that an engineer - it is a profitable profession, so soon after graduation, the money will flow to me a river - shares their story, Elena Pakhomov, a young professional. - After graduating, I was certain this will go out the door, and there - all of the employers. Add to this that was 2008, my expectations may be called, to say the least, naive. In the end I got a job with a very low salary.
But patience and a little effort! In two months I have received an average salary in a year - above average, and two parents and friends promised the money is really there. Only now I know - it's the work. "Tips.
A. To start viewing jobs in your area of interest. This can be done at specialized sites and advertisements in newspapers and magazines.
Two. On this basis, estimate the average wage, which you may qualify.
Three. In an interview immediately Speak career opportunities and job prospects in the company, find out what it takes.
