Our goal is to help increase the level of postgraduate education and quality medical care to the population of the population.
The final room 2014, is devoted to such important problems as diabetes and obesity. The topic was not chosen by chance. First, it is due to held on 14 November 2014 world day of struggle against diabetes mellitus, marked by numerous scientific publications and conferences. And second, because of the high relevance of the problem. Today in the world there are about 347 million people with diabetes. Russia takes 5th place in the world in the number of cases.
In low-and middle-income over 80% of deaths occur from diabetes and its complications. By 2030 diabetes will be the 7th leading cause of death worldwide. It is expected that in the next 10 years, the total number of deaths from diabetes will increase by more than 50 %. Previously, this illness has struck mostly people of two age groups - middle-aged and children. Today diabetes, "younger": the incidence of diabetes type 2 among children is growing every year.
That is why this number was selected the most relevant materials written by leading domestic and foreign authors.

We have published analytical reviews devoted to diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperglycemia in a multi-hospital and modern approaches to improve the treatment of obesity and reproductive disorders in women.
