The gastroenterology department has reopened in our hospital.

It was the oldest in SOVMINKA, but during the quarantine and lockdown, the department was forced to re-profil into an observational one. The department was opened in 1970, since then highly qualified specialists have been working in it. Now that Covid has finally receded, the department has reopened for patients with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It is equipped with the best equipment and comfortable rooms.

– There are 14 beds in our department, we treat all diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, – said the head of the department of gastroenterology, an experienced practitioner Zhanat Adibay, – These diseases are very relevant both for Almaty and for the whole of Kazakhstan. Most often, we are treated with pancreatitis, hepatitis, autoimmune diseases. We carry out a thorough diagnosis, treatment, if necessary, after the decision of the council, we refer patients for surgery. But still, we try our best not to bring it to this.

The condition of the gastrointestinal tract, according to the doctor, affects the condition of all other human organs, so it is important to monitor it and not bring the situation to the hospital. As a preventive measure, Zhanat Adibay advised me to eat as properly as possible, filling food with an equal amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, take a lot of fluids, and move more. Be healthy!

Patients are treated using PREMIUM class equipment from leading Italian, Israeli, Swiss, German, American, Russian manufacturers, and the department’s doctors have specialized and trained in the best clinics in the near and far abroad (Israel, Russia).

The first operation was performed on a patient with Parkinson’s disease in the SOVMINK of Almaty under the quota of the State Observatory of Comorbidity and Compulsory Medical Insurance. A center for the surgical treatment of Parkinson’s disease was opened on the basis of the hospital, where such patients can now be operated on. The operations are performed by Chingiz Shashkin, a well-known neurosurgeon, candidate of medical sciences, who specializes in implantation of neurostimulators in the brain and spinal cord.

-Of course, the operation will not give a complete recovery, but it will significantly improve the quality of life for such patients, because their muscles stop working. To do this, we introduce thin electrodes into the patient’s brain, which are connected to a neurostimulator, which is implanted subcutaneously in the chest area under the collarbone. The first patient operated on in Almaty on a free quota is 70 years old, 8 of them he suffered from a trembling form of the disease. In total, there are 30 thousand such patients in Kazakhstan, mostly elderly people, although I had a 25-year-old patient.

Hitler, Mohamed Ali, Ozzy Osborne, John Paul II, Vyacheslav Zaitsev, Valentin Gaft, Salvador Dali, Mao Zedong suffered from Parkinson’s disease. The first operation in the world to introduce a biostimulator was carried out in 1987, now the neurostimulation technique is successfully used in the USA, Europe, and Asia. In Kazakhstan, it was first tested in 2013, but until now, operations have been carried out only in the capital and Karaganda.

– This is an excellent decision to open a center for the surgical treatment of Parkinson’s diseases on the basis of SOVMINKI, because 62% of the country’s population lives in the south and they did not have the opportunity to be treated free of charge in their region. The operation itself is very expensive, now it can be done on a quota here in the central hospital. This year alone, we plan to install 50 stimulators.

As a prevention of Parkinson’s disease, the first functional neurosurgeon of Kazakhstan, Chingiz Shashkin, advised to lead a healthy lifestyle, move a lot, and eat right. He himself rides a bike in his free time, he says it helps him relieve stress.

An arrhythmology center has been opened in our hospital, where they will help people suffering from arrhythmias and teach new technologies to domestic and foreign cardiologists.

The problem of arrhythmias is very relevant. According to statistics in the world, 3% – 4% of people suffer from these disorders, in some cases this leads to sudden death.

According to the director of the center, an arrhythmologist from Georgia, Roin Rekvava, due to the aging of the population, the number of such diseases is increasing every year:

– In terms of mortality, cardiovascular diseases are now in first place all over the world and, according to forecasts, the situation will not change in the next 20 years. In addition, due to Covid infection, the inflammatory processes of the heart have increased, which also affects the overall statistics.

The Arrhythmology Center at Sovminka is very important for the people of Kazakhstan. It will enable patients suffering from such diseases to receive minimally invasive and high-tech operations, without blood, without opening the sternum, since we find the focus of arrhythmia through the vessels using 3D navigation and localize the problem using radiofrequency and cryoablation (freezing and cauterization). This is the technology of the present and the future.

It is very important that all these new technologies will finally be collected in one of our centers, where, in addition to everything, Kazakhstani cardiologists-arrhythmologists will be able to study for further application of new knowledge in their work in other clinics.

Today it is one of the most powerful and fastest tomographs in Kazakhstan, it produces 128 slices per gantry rotation. The radiation dose of the device is minimal. With the help of a tomograph, specialists can do all kinds of medical examinations of human organs, even virtual colonoscopy (CT colonography) and bronchoscopy.

-Today, our hospital’s long-standing dream has come true, we have purchased the latest equipment, which increases our capabilities in the process of radiation diagnostics, – said the president of the clinic, Rustam Albayev, at the opening of a new office, – All this is done primarily for our outpatients. We hope that in the near future we will acquire a super-new MRI and in the future we will open a center for radiation diagnostics on the basis of the hospital.

The work of the CT room has begun today and anyone can be examined there.

The epidemiological situation in Kazakhstan on COVID-19, as well as around the world, remains unstable – new cases of the disease are registered daily, both among adults and among children. The only effective measure to combat the pandemic of coronovirus infection is mass immunization (vaccination) of the population of the whole world in order to create herd immunity and prevent further spread of the disease. In this regard, vaccination against coronavirus continues in Almaty and revaccination of citizens who were among the first to receive the vaccine 9 months ago has begun.

The Sputnik V vector vaccine, inactivated vaccines (QazCovid-in, Sinopharm, CoronaVac, Hayat-Vax), mRNA vaccine (Pfizer) and Chinese Vero Cell have been registered in Kazakhstan.

The vaccine from the American company Pfizer is now used only for immunization of adolescents, pregnant and lactating mothers.

Vaccination is a simple, safe and effective way to protect against diseases before a person comes into contact with their pathogens.

Indications for vaccination against coronavirus infection:

• People who did not have CVI (age 12 years and older).

• The age category of people over 60, because This category is seriously ill, with a high percentage of mortality.

• Persons who recovered from CVI 6 months after recovery. Vaccination is allowed 3 months after recovery.

Indications for immunization with the Komirnati vaccine (Phizer, USA):

• Children and teenagers from 12 to 18 years old

• Pregnant women from 16 to 37 weeks of pregnancy

• Lactating women 42 days after delivery and before the child reaches 2 years of age.

Contraindications for vaccination:

– Absolute contraindications – children under 12 years of age, as well as persons with a history of severe allergic reactions to vaccines.

– Relative contraindications – acute infectious and non-infectious diseases at the time of vaccination, exacerbation of any chronic diseases at the time of vaccination. This category of persons is vaccinated after complete recovery and after a medical examination.

Vaccination algorithm: before vaccination, the patient is examined by a doctor, signs an informed consent, after vaccination he is under observation for 30 minutes, and then for 3 days under the supervision of a doctor (on a call).

After 21 days, the patient receives the 2nd component of the vaccine, after which he is issued a vaccination passport within the electronic portal.

REVACCINATION

This is the introduction of an additional, reinforcing (booster) dose of the vaccine, in order to enhance the immune response.

Revaccination against CVI is subject to all persons who have received a complete completed course of primary vaccination against this infection.

Revaccination against CVI is carried out once, with an interval of 6 months after the completion of the primary vaccination course.

Persons who have been ill with CVI and who have previously received a full course of primary vaccination, revaccination is carried out no earlier than 6 months after recovery.

Revaccination against CVI is recommended with vaccine types that were not used in the primary vaccination course. That is, for those who received a vector vaccine, we recommend that you receive an inactivated vaccine (Vero Cell, QazVac). Those who received the inactivated vaccine can receive Sputnik V after 6 months.

Revaccination of pregnant women who have previously received the primary course of vaccination against CVI is carried out using the Komirnati vaccine (Phizer, USA) in the period from 16 to 37 weeks of pregnancy.

The staff of SOVMINKA, together with the families and friends, mourns the employees of law enforcement agencies and civilians who died in the city of Almaty in particular and in Kazakhstan as a whole.

Eternal Memory for Heroes.

Each product has its own approach:

🥕Potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips, radishes, summer-and-winter radishes, horseradish and other root crops should first be cleaned of the ground, then dirt should be thoroughly brushed off;

🍅Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, squash, eggplants, pumpkin, beans and peas are recommended to be washed in running water by hand or with a brush;

🍊It is recommended to scald oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, lemons and other citrus fruits with boiling water;

🍏Apples, pears, peaches, apricots, plums, bananas, pomegranates and other fruits should be thoroughly washed with cold, always running water, and preferably with soap;

🍉Watermelons and melons should be washed under running water with hands or a brush;

🍇The grapes should be washed under the “shower” from the water tap;

🥭Dried fruits bought both in the market and in the store must be washed before use. Rinse them with cold water under the tap, put in a sieve or colander and quickly pour over boiling water;

🥬White cabbage is usually not washed. Usually, top leaves, contaminated, withered and affected by pests, are removed from it, getting to clean and fresh ones;

🥦Before washing the greens, they are carefully processed – the roots, stems, and yellowed leaves are removed. Most often, greens are very difficult to wash from dirt, sand and dust, so it is recommended to wash them not under running water, but in cold water poured into a roomy dish. In the process, the water needs to be changed several times so that all the dirt settles. Only then greens are washed under the tap.
