Eighty patients who received simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplants were divided by diabetes type (31 with Type 1, 49 with Type 2) and compared on blood sugar levels and clinical outcomes during the first month after surgery. Early glucose trajectories, insulin use, and short-term complications were statistically similar between both groups. Standardized perioperative blood sugar protocols work equally well for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes recipients, supporting their uniform application.

This article describes methodological approaches for equipping specialized medical care teams and medical-nursing teams based at Russia's Military Medical Academy. It identifies medical bags and standard equipment sets already approved for Armed Forces use as the priority components for outfitting these teams. The focus is on ensuring field teams carry supplies that align with established military medical supply norms.

Young children under 3 years old with pertussis (whooping cough) were treated with a complex immunoglobulin preparation (CIP) taken orally, in addition to standard therapy. Children receiving CIP had better clinical outcomes and improved antibody responses compared to those receiving standard therapy alone. Oral immunoglobulin with specific activity against pertussis toxins represents a novel adjunct treatment that improves outcomes in young children with this infection.

This paper reviews the historical development of classification systems for military medical equipment sets in the Russian Armed Forces, tracing how factors like combat conditions and medical technology advances have shaped current categories. The authors propose improvements to modernize the classification framework. A clearer classification system simplifies logistics planning and ensures field medical teams have the right supplies for each operational context.

Plain English
The article outlines requirements for medical devices used in field conditions by Russian military medical services, emphasizing that modern local conflicts demand equipment that is portable, rugged, and adapted to frontline care. It highlights specific approved devices that meet these requirements. Proper field medical devices are essential for delivering timely care and reducing preventable mortality in combat settings.

Plain English
This paper reviews the contributions of military pharmacy and medical supply specialists during World War II, emphasizing their role in developing official supply standards and new equipment models under wartime conditions. Lessons learned during and after the war progressively improved military medical supply organization. The historical record demonstrates that logistics expertise was as critical to battlefield medicine as clinical skill.

Plain English
Twelve new medical equipment sets and kits have been formally adopted into Russian Armed Forces supply, grouped into two classification categories for medical unit use. These sets enable surgical interventions and medical procedures at multiple points in the military treatment chain. Modernizing standard-issue equipment ensures field medical personnel can deliver care consistent with current treatment standards.

Plain English
Nine new loads of expendable medical supplies—organized into two classification groups—have been approved for Russian military medical service use. These supplies improve continuity of medical care across all stages of evacuation and enable delivery of care based on modern treatment technologies. Standardized expendable supply loads reduce gaps in material availability that can otherwise interrupt care during evacuation.

This article traces the history of the military medical supply and pharmacy department at Russia's Military Medical Academy from its founding in 1798 to the present. The department has combined teaching, research, and practical support for Army and Navy medical supply throughout its history. This institutional history shows how military pharmacy evolved from basic material provision into a sophisticated discipline integrating regulatory, manufacturing, and toxicological expertise.

Plain English
The article examines how logistics principles—typically applied in industrial supply chains—can be applied to military medical supply management to improve efficiency and resource allocation. It identifies the role logistics plays in structuring and operating military medical supply systems. Applying formal logistics methods to medical asset management offers a systematic approach to solving resource shortages and distribution inefficiencies in military healthcare.

Plain English
The paper argues for implementing a formulary system in Russian military medicine to standardize drug selection based on medical need and treatment guidelines. A model formulary was developed from clinical standards and disease incidence data to reduce the number of drugs in use while improving treatment effectiveness. A formulary system gives military medical services a structured, evidence-informed basis for drug procurement and prescription.

Plain English
The article reviews the organization of medical supply for the Red Army during World War II, from pre-war preparation through wartime operations. It draws on the experience of multiple supply institutions to identify lessons that remain relevant to modern military medical logistics. The conclusion is that the effectiveness of wartime medicine depends as much on supply chain organization as on the clinical capabilities of medical personnel.

Plain English
The article analyzes how technical maintenance and repair of military medical equipment is organized in the Russian Armed Forces across three levels: central, regional, and local. It identifies problems in bringing new equipment into service on schedule. A clearer three-level maintenance structure with defined responsibilities at each level ensures that medical equipment remains operational when needed.

Plain English
This article examines how medical financing needs are calculated for military treatment facilities providing both outpatient and inpatient care, and how drug procurement is organized within the Armed Forces. It proposes methodological frameworks for determining appropriate funding levels for pharmaceutical care. Systematic calculation of pharmaceutical funding needs is essential for preventing supply shortages in military healthcare facilities.

Plain English
This paper proposes a conceptual framework for restructuring Russia's military medical supply system around six organizational principles, including hierarchical structuring and continuous improvement. It recommends creating regional medical supply centers and attaching supply offices to major hospitals serving defined geographic zones. Structural reform on these principles would make medical support more responsive, better coordinated, and more efficiently resourced.

Plain English
Based on lessons from recent local military conflicts, the article identifies key gaps in military medical supply systems including unclear interdepartmental coordination, inadequate individual medical equipment, and outdated drug supply standards. It calls for applying territorial supply principles and developing unified treatment standards as the basis for resupply. Improving these systems reduces preventable harm to combatants and civilians in conflict zones.
