An approach implying the use of multidimensional screening of the mental conditions of military school students for early detection of psychogenic disorders is discussed. Multidimensional screening was implemented in combination with the social and medical assessments of the mental health of military men. The use multidimensional screening was found to enhance the effectiveness of psychoprophylactic measures in military schools.

The family relationships of navy servicemen are discussed. In the recent years, a trend to improving the quality of family life of military men became apparent as suggested by increased cohesion and decreased proneness to conflicts. At the same time, the optimization of family relationships of navy specialists is associated with a significant reduction of their cognitive and volitional involvement in guiding their families and with increased proneness to anxiety and depression.

The medical service of marine aviation of the Navy performs the same functions as are typical for all other navy corps and, at the same time, has tasks specific for aviation. The professional activities of flying personnel pose high requirements to health conditions. The vast and constantly expanding range of factors that influence pilots adversely includes overcharge, noise, vibration, electromagnetic radiation, high temperatures, high intensity of operation, strong cognitive stresses, hypodynamia, monotony etc. They all are prone with making pilot conditions worse and can affect the results of their operation. Maintaining the workability and professional reliability of flight personnel is the most important task of the medical service of Navy aviation corps. In the present time, when aviation engineering is becoming increasingly sophisticated, the regions of dislocation are expanding, and military training is intensifying, the medical provision system of marine aviation of the Navy needs perpetual optimization in order to match these changes.

An original combination of polymodal physical factors, including infrared and steam heating, contrast sprays, vibratory massage, aromatherapy, and art therapy, provides for the expansion of functional capacities and for the enhancement of physical and mental workability of first-year military students who have difficulties in adaptation to military occupations and in acclimatization.

The paper discusses field trials of two approaches to acceleration of adaptation of marines to low-latitudes navigation, which is associated with intensive physical activity at high temperatures. When only physical exercises were used for training, adaptation to the above conditions was accomplished by the end of the second month of navigation. Ergothermic training exercised prior to entering the low latitudes ensured preservation of professional workability at the very onset and all over the time of navigation in tropics.

Study objective was to assess the effects of periodic dwelling of humans in a room with normobaric hypoxic gas mixture (NHGM) on their red blood cells. Study subjects were six men aged 20 to 24 years who were placed under NHGM at 16-15% of oxygen for 4 h daily over 2 months. Hematological parameters were determined at baseline, on the next day after the experimental series, and 3 and 6 months later. All subjects showed moderate decreases in RBC count and mean volume and hematocrit and increases in the mean levels of hemoglobin in RBC. These trends persisted at delayed times. It is concluded that periodic dwelling under NHGM conditions is associated with increases in blood oxygen capacity due to generation of more functionally competent RBC upon a tendency not to compromise the rheological properties of blood.

Socio-hygienic monitoring in military shipbuilding promotes adoption of adequate administrative solutions aimed at preventing the adverse effects of unfavorable environmental factors on shipbuilding specialists. The main approach to monitoring the habitable environment of ships during their designing and constructing is the sanitary-epidemiological assessment. Bettering of socio-hygienic monitoring in military shipbuilding requires harmonization (as to its structure, information contents, and methodological provision) with the unified system of socio-hygienic monitoring in Russia.

The paper presents the comparative analysis of regulatory legalacts containing the staterequirements for ensuring the electromagnetic safety on board watercraft, at marine facilities and under industrial conditions. The sanitary rules and norms, state standards, rules for labor protection onboard the ships of marine and river fleet, methodical guidelines for measurement and assessment of the electromagnetic fields onboard the ships and at marine facilities are considered. The article shows the differences in methodical approaches to hygienic regulation of the factor, in maximum permissible levels of the electromagnetic fields onboard the ships and under industrial conditions. The proposals are given to improve the regulatory documents in the field of electromagnetic safety for the crew.

The characteristic of the procedure for provision of medical supplies to the ships of the Navy in accordance with the new rules of supply, approved by order of Minister of defence of the Russian Federation from 2014.

Seventy-five years have elapsed since the day of foundation of Navy Medical Academy. To celebrate this event, a ceremonial assembly of officers and veterans of medical service of the Navy was held S.M. Kirov Military Medical Academy.

Study of the conditions of occurrence, clinical manifestations, treatment and prevention of pressure, as well as the development of measures of medical support work in high-pressure form the subject of diving medicine. It is based on the achievements of diving physiology and a number of preventive and clinical medicine. The rapid development of diving business development «Concept of Development of search and rescue support of the Navy for the period up to 2025», signed by the Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, 14 February 2014 made to address the problems of diving medicine.

The paper describes the professional accomplishments of the founder of the system of medical support to nuclear submarine crews - Dmitri Parmionovich Zurikhin, Medical Service Colonel, Head of the Medical Services of the First Nuclear Submarines Flotilla of the Northern Feet.

The sketch is dedicated to the history of department of naval therapy of Military-medical academy n. a. S.M. Kirov - from the moment of its organization and until disbandment of Naval medical academy, a part of which it was within 16 years. Located in the territory of Obukhovskaya city hospital, this department inherited traditions of Russian therapeutic school. The data on the areas of work of department of Naval therapy, her heads, employees and famous graduates in the years of existence of Naval medical academy are reflected in materials of a sketch. The role of department and therapeutic service of Navy in days of the Great Patriotic War is reflected. The main aspects of medical, educational and research activity of modern department of Naval therapy of Military-medical academy n. a. S.M. Kirov in a year of its 75-year anniversary are described.

The article presents data on health personnel (doctors and nurses) hospital ships «Kostroma» and «Orel» 2^nd Pacific squadron of the Russian Imperial Navy. Updated some of the biographies of doctors and their postwar fate.
