A. The duration of the undergraduate medical course in Russia is 6 years (English Medium), or 7 years (Russian Medium). The Degree awarded is MD (Physician). Unlike the MBBS, which is a Bachelor Degree (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery), the Degree of MD (Physician) is a Master Degree in general medicine (Doctor of Medicine, Physician). Just as in the USA, UK, Australia and other Western Countries, the first medical degree awarded in Russia too is the Master Degree. It is not a post graduate degree and is not to be confused with the Post Graduate Degree of MD/MS awarded in India and a few other countries.

Universities consider it a privilege to meet the parents and are eager to show them around the university to see for themselves the infrastructure, the sophisticated teaching and diagnostic aids and the well-equipped laboratories, clinical and surgical facilities, etc.

Reseach work

Last week an international scientific team of the Stavropol State Medical University provided together with a scientific team of the Sheep Institute Stavropol a pilot animal experiment on Osteoporotic Sheep in preparing the next experiments using neural-crest-related stem cells in Regenerative Periodontology

The aim of this pilot animal experiment was to analyze the osseointegration for newly developed ceramic dental implants (Carident AG, Switzerland) together with newly developed human-derived bone substitutes (Osteograft, ARGON Medical Devices GmbH and Co KG, Germany) in an Osteoporotic sheep model on lower jaw of the animals.

Animal handling and surgical procedures were conducted according to the European Community Guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals (DE 86/609/CEE) and approved by approved by the local ethical committee at the Stavropol State Medical University School. Two young female Caucasian sheep with an average body weight of 27 kg were used in this study. Six months prior to the study, animals had been neutered by ovariectomy to induce osteoporosis.

Two experimental models have been used:

1. Alveolar bone healing following tooth extraction: The second and third mandibular frontal teeth were selected as the experimental sites, as the roots of these teeth resemble those of the human teeth. Two implants (one control and one from test group) were placed into mandibular postextraction ridges of each of the two sheep. A standard surgical procedure for implant placement was adopted under sterile conditions at all times.
2. Implant Placement Surgery and grafting procedures in non-extraction sites

Two treatments were provided to each animal, which were as follows:

grafted sites: Carident implant, 4,4 mm x 12 mm together with Osteograft bone substitute as a filler were inserted and then covered with a resorbable natural human-derived membrane (Fascia lata, Osteograft).

non-grafted sites: Carident implant, 4,4 mm x 12 mm without bone substitutes

Primary closure was achieved at the extraction sites using a resorbable suture material (Vicryl 4−0, Ethicon).

Carident implants are new prototype dental implants. They are registered and have therefore CE mark. The test implants were supplied by the Carident AG, Switzerland).

Osteograft is a new prototype human derived bone substitute. It is registered and has therefore CE mark. The test material was supplied by the ARGON & Co KG, Bingen, Germany).

On the next day CT investigation has been provided.

3D reconstruction of the osteoporotic sheep model using CT.

Aristotle. History. His role in medicine

Aristotle was born in 384 B. C. in Stageira in Macedonia. His father, Nicomachus, was the court physician to the king of Macedonia. Aristotle probably received extensive training in biology and medicine from his father. These were his preferred fields, although Aristotle studied and wrote about all the sciences.
As a youth, Aristotle distinguished himself as a student at Plato’s Academy in Athens. He was even named to be Plato’s successor, but declined the position due to doctrinal differences. Aristotle later commented that, although he loved Plato, he loved the truth more.
In contrast to his teacher Plato, who considered the physical world of becoming to be an imperfect, ephemeral and illusory reflection of the spiritual world of being, Aristotle affirmed the essential reality of the physical world, and said that the senses must be trusted as the primary sources of valid knowledge. Aristotle’s philosophy was empirical and experiential; he believed in approaching Nature with an open mind to learn Her secrets.
Experimentation and observation were the cornerstones of Aristotle’s science. He affirmed the precedence of facts over theory by declaring that if newly discovered facts contradicted a previously held theory, the theory had to be modified or discarded to accommodate them. In Aristotle, we can see the origins of modern science and the scientific method.
Although he greatly loved medicine and probably even practiced it on occasion, Aristotle most distinguished himself in the field of biology. An avid natural historian who tirelessly studied and catalogued many species of plants and animals, Aristotle was the father of comparative anatomy and physiology, and of later theories of evolution and embryology.
Aristotle’s personal philosophy and ethics center on the virtue of reason and the Golden Mean. Aristotle believed that the highest virtue that a man could have came from the proper exercise of his reason. He believed that all true happiness and morality came from adhering to the Golden Mean of moderation in all things.
Aristotle’s most important contribution to the theory of Greek Medicine was his doctrine of the Four Basic Qualities: Hot, Cold, Wet, and Dry. Later philosopher-physicians would apply these qualities to characterize the Four Elements, Four Humors, and Four Temperaments. The Four Basic Qualities are the foundations for all notions of balance and homeostasis in Greek Medicine.
Aristotle later founded his own school of philosophy, the Lyceum, which was patterned after Plato’s Academy. However, his teachings were to be spread far and wide through the conquests of his most illustrious pupil, Alexander the Great.
The early Church fathers vastly preferred the spiritual, otherworldly philosophy of Plato and the Neo-Platonists over Aristotle, who was esteemed chiefly as a logician. But in the High Middle Ages, Muslim philosopher-Physicians like Avicenna and Averroes brought a newfound appreciation for other aspects of Aristotle’s science and philosophy.
And so, Aristotle’s teachings on biology, medicine and the natural sciences were finally accepted by the Church and incorporated into the medieval worldview. But, as with Galen, much of his work was blindly accepted as dogma and never questioned until the Renaissance. Like Galen, Aristotle, although impressive, was not infallible.

International Science in University

Professor W. Grimm (Stavropol State Medical University) and his colleagues Professor T. Dittmar (University of Witten-Herdecke, Germany) and Assistant Professor D. Wieder (University of Bielefeld, Germany), using on-line conference connection from stem cell laboratory of StSMU, have grown 13 samples criofrozed stem cells.

The research team from Department of Pathology and Microbiology of StSMU took part in this project either.
To minimize the risk of contamination by mycoplasma the method of storage without liquid nitrogen was used.

As a cooling agent culture medium 199 with the indicator of the cell cultures and extract of Lucerna, increasing the proliferative activity of stem cells derived from the human palate, and improving surviving of cell cultures was used.
After four days the stem cells derived from the human palate developed into cell spheroids after which the research team collected the necessary number of cells by centrifugation.

IFMSA, IADS

More than 60 years IFMSA existed and guided by medical students worldwide. The International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA) was founded in 1951. It is the world’s oldest and largest independent organization representing associations of medical students all over the world. It currently maintains 123 National Member Organizations from more than 100 countries across six continents with over 1,2 million students represented worldwide. IFMSA is recognized as a non-governmental organization within the United Nations' system and the World Health Organization and as well, it works with the World Medical Association.

IFMSA was created to impact the world and to empower its members in taking their vision and ideas, and making them a reality. IFMSA has inspired generations of medical students to develop the leadership abilities and skills to take on challenges and to improve the world around them in a crucial period of their career. Engaging in IFMSA encourages both professional and personal collaborations irrespective of geographical, social, cultural, religious, racial, sexual and political differences. As a result, future doctors are becoming more culturally aware and sensitive physicians.

Vision:
A world in which all medical students are united for global health and equipped with the knowledge, skills and values to take on health leadership roles locally and globally.
Mission:

IFMSA unites medical students worldwide to lead initiatives that impact positively the communities we serve. IFMSA represents the opinions and ideas of future health professionals in the field of global health, and works in collaboration with external partners. IFMSA builds capacity through training, project and exchanges opportunities, while embracing cultural diversity so as to shape a sustainable and healthy future.

Aims:

• To expose all medical students to humanitarian and health issues, providing them with the opportunity to educate themselves and their peers;
• To facilitate partnerships between the medical students' community and international organization working on health, education and social issues;
• To give all medical students the opportunity to take part in clinical and research exchange around the world;
• To provide a network that links active medical students across the globe, including student leaders, project managers and activists, so that they can learn from and be motivated by each other;
• To provide an international framework in which medical student projects can be realized;
• To empower and train medical students to become advocates in leading social change.

Every year students of the Stavropol State Medical University participate in exchange programs of IFMSA and IADS. Students from all over the world come to our University during a year for practice or reseach work .

Muhammad Ali Ben Marcus Thanks for posting this, Antonius. This reminds how I had to go to the USSR to learn that Avicenna was none other than Ibn-Sīnā, whose huge made-up portrait was hanging on the wall of the hallway or somewhere in my university in Stavropol in the Caucasus. I questioned my friend Genady Popkov who too was studying medicine about entire volumes of his Canon that he was using for his degree and he told me that it from him that the West borrowed their medical science and expertise. But, our science teachers hid this fact from us. His full name was Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Sīnā; c. 980 – June 1037. He was a "Persian polymath who is regarded as one of the most significant thinkers and writers of the Islamic Golden Age." Ziopedia.
