Rehabilitation centers

Doctors say that in medicine the main thing is not to cure the disease, but to warn it. Even more important after the treatment is to undergo a course of restorative medicine. The Scientific Center for Child Health includes rehabilitation centers in various areas. In such centers there are children with disorders of the musculoskeletal system, who have suffered serious eye or heart diseases, which have a delay in development.

Mental Health Center

The Mental Health Children's Science Center is the country's leading scientific institution in the field of mental illness. The main activities of this institution are as follows:

• New methods for diagnosing, treating and preventing such diseases are being developed.
• The newest methods of therapy and rehabilitation courses are being introduced.
• Social adaptation of people who have undergone mental disorders.
• Research on mental health problems is being conducted.
• New forms of psychiatric care are being researched and implemented.

Mental health disorders often occur in childhood. If the disease is not cured in time, then it can have a devastating effect on the human brain, can lead to death( more often suicide).Therefore, the Scientific Center for Mental Health of Children and Adolescents pays special attention to the development of issues of diagnosing mental illnesses, especially in the early stages of development. The research work carried out by the Scientific Center for Children's Health makes it possible to recognize the disease and, combining harmless medications and corrective methods, to achieve significant results, and sometimes completely cure the disease.

Developments in the field of children's mental health

Much work is being done in the direction of pathological changes in mental health in young children. Some developed methods become standardized. This, for example, "Scheme of assessment of the neuropsychic state in children under three years."There is also a group of scientists that investigates children's autism, studies its typology and clinical indicators. A number of correctional methods have already appeared that can alleviate the condition of sick children, and make their adaptation in society more real. This research department has a kindergarten for children with autism, which allows scientists to observe children for a longer period of time during the day. This helps to achieve the most correct research results and implement special techniques.

Method of "Comparison of concepts"

It is known that such a mental illness as schizophrenia leads to a pathology of thought processes. Employees of SRI RAMS S.E.Strogova, N.V.Zverev and A.I.Khromov developed the method "Comparison of concepts" to study the disruption of the thinking activity of children and adolescents in this disease. After applying this effective technique, the picture of disorders becomes clear, which allows selecting an effective treatment.

Rehabilitation center of the Research Institute of Pediatrics

Recently on the territory of more than six thousand square meters the rehabilitation center of one of the RAMS institutes - the Research Institute of Pediatrics was opened. It includes 12 offices. Here, individual rehabilitation programs for children are developed and implemented. Specialists of this center plan to train young athletes to participate in sports olympiads, sports events, competitions of various levels. This rehabilitation center also works as the Scientific Center for Child Health, conducting research on all the necessary activities.

Activities of the Scientific Research Institute of Hygiene and Child and Adolescent Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences

This scientific research institute carries out a huge work on development of such theoretical positions as:

• Adaptation of the child's organism.
• Identification of the laws of growth and development of children, the study of health.
• Hygienic rationing.

Analysis of work for the last five-year period allowed to reveal the patterns of changes in the health status of the younger generation, explain the cause of the deterioration and make a prediction for the near future. Also, based on the research, new data were obtained on the adaptation of children to the learning process and hygienic norms of training were developed. Conclusions were made about early employment, when the child combines study and work, and the negative impact of this form of existence on the children's body is proved. The norms for carrying heavy items for boys and girls aged 14-17 years have been developed and scientifically substantiated, hygienic norms for vocational schools and colleges have been developed. Also, research was carried out to study the clothes of children and adolescents and the materials from which it is made. On the basis of these studies, a list of requirements to which children's clothing should match is drawn up.

Research Institute of Hygiene and Health of Children and Adolescents RAMS actively develops regulatory documentation aimed at maintaining and maintaining the health of the younger generation. It is presented in the form of monographs, collections and other literature.
