“Normal physiology” is a fundamental experimental and theoretical science about the vital activity of the whole organism, physiological systems, organs, cells and individual cellular structures, the mechanisms of regulation in the interaction of the organism with the environment, including the social environment. Physiology is the theoretical basis of medicine, as the great Russian physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov spoke about, since a deep knowledge of the laws of physiology ensures the successful development of clinical disciplines. Physiology is the theoretical basis for the study of traditional and non-traditional methods of treatment, methods of functional diagnostics.
The purpose of the discipline “Normal Physiology” is to promote the formation of systemic knowledge about the vital activity of an integral organism and its individual parts, about the basic laws of functioning and mechanisms of their regulation in interaction with each other and with environmental factors, to study the physiological foundations of clinical and physiological research methods used in functional diagnostics and in the study of integrative human activity.

The basic rules of working with biomaterials, the use of PPE. The main methods of storage, neutralization of PB and waste disposal. Methods of chemical, fire and electrical safety. Principles of biosafety when working with laboratory animals. Requirements for the selection, transportation, and storage of safe materials, environmental items, and food products. Medical examinations, preventive immunization. Rules for the use of PPE.
The discipline “Biosafety and biosecurity in medicine” is part of the biological cycle of the OOP in the field of training of the GP at the Faculty of Medicine of the Department of Fundamental Disciplines.

“Clinical Pharmacology” – studies the effect of medicines on the patient’s body, the basics of rational use of medicines, issues of clinical and economic efficiency and safety of drug therapy. With the help of clinical pharmacology, it is possible to choose a rational drug for a specific patient, excluding template pharmacotherapy. Individual differences in the effect of drugs on the human body indicate that it is impossible to fully anticipate and exclude the undesirable effects of drugs. It should be pointed out that clinical pharmacology is more comparable to individualized pharmacotherapy or rational pharmacotherapy, in tandem with the principles of evidence-based medicine. Being the main bridge between fundamental and clinical disciplines, it is crucial in the rational approach and choice of drug therapy. For example, the modern arsenal of antihypertensive drugs is extensive, this will make it difficult to prescribe and choose a drug for hypertension, knowledge of clinical pharmacology will allow you to choose an adequate drug and exclude unnecessary prescriptions. In the process of studying clinical pharmacology, special attention is paid to the interpretation of clinical protocols and guidelines for specific diseases.

“Microbiology” is a science whose subject of study is microscopic creatures called microorganisms or microbes, their biological characteristics, systematics, ecology, relationships with other organisms inhabiting our planet, animals, plants and humans.
Microbiology as the science of the structure, vital activity, ecology of microorganisms – includes four disciplines: bacteriology, virology, mycology and protozoology. Immunology closely adjoins and integrates them as a science that studies methods and mechanisms of protection against antigens, i.e. genetically foreign substances of various origins, including microbes and their products. Damage to the immune system by exposure to viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms leads to a number of serious disorders in the activity of the entire body.
The study of the abilities of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa) to overcome protective barriers, penetrate into the internal environment of the human body and cause pathological conditions called infections is the main goal of this discipline.
Infections have been and remain the main cause of death in the population. Annual economic losses, high mortality rates, ineffective treatment, and an increase in the length of hospital stay are a significant problem of practical medicine. An increase in hospital infections associated with a change in the structure of the patient population, an increase in the frequency of invasive procedures, and the spread of
polyresistant strains, insufficient epidemiological surveillance poses a significant potential health hazard. The proportion of infectious pathology has increased, a large group of so-called emergent diseases has appeared, i.e. newly appeared or long-forgotten infectious diseases, among which, first of all, HIV infection, tuberculosis, new types of chlamydia, legionnaires’ disease, hemorrhagic fevers, etc. should be noted. Despite the significant successes achieved in antimicrobial therapy, the problems of sepsis and the spread of microorganisms resistant to antibacterial drugs, as well as an increase in the number of adverse reactions, remain relevant.
In addition, the identification of new little-studied infections such as COVID–19 and its mutating strains, which caused one of the largest pandemics in the world of the 21st century, poses new challenges to modern theoretical and practical medicine. Therefore, obtaining new information and developing effective methods to combat infectious diseases remains one of the global challenges of modern microbiology.

“Basic Pharmacology” is an academic discipline containing the theoretical foundations of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of medicines. Pharmacology describes the explicit effects of drugs, the molecular mechanisms by which drugs cause pharmacological effects. In the broadest sense, pharmacology is the study of how drugs affect the biological systems of the human body. This includes the study of the origin, chemical properties, pharmacological effects, mechanisms of action, biological transformations, as well as the therapeutic use of drugs. Pharmacology is often referred to as a bridging science because it encompasses knowledge and skills from a number of fundamental scientific disciplines, including physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology.
The purpose of studying the discipline “Basic Pharmacology” is to study the rules for prescribing medicines, to study the main classifications of medicines, and their pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic parameters; drug interactions, as well as their side effects for further use of the knowledge gained in clinical departments and in the work of a doctor.

“Biochemistry” is a discipline that studies chemical reactions and processes occurring
in cells and underlying the vital activity of the body. The enormous successes of biological chemistry in recent years have touched the very foundations of natural science. Fundamental discoveries in the field of the structure of biopolymers, molecular mechanisms of information storage and transmission, gene cloning and the mechanism of biosynthesis of specific proteins, regulation of metabolic processes at the molecular, cellular and organizational levels served as the basis for the formation of new views on the essence of life processes. It is obvious that these achievements of biochemistry should take an essential place in the training of medical students.
Biological chemistry as a science of the vital activity of the human body should be as close as possible to the practical tasks of medicine. In this regard, the most important results of biological research in recent years were included in the program during its development and addition. Such fundamental concepts as molecular diseases, block mechanisms of metabolic disorders and a block of clinical modules were formulated.
The main purpose of teaching the course of biological chemistry is to study the molecular foundations of vital activity, the metabolic pathways of the main classes of organic compounds and their regulation to understand the molecular mechanisms of the development of pathological processes, as well as the study of biochemical methods for diagnosing diseases.
