Our College

My name is Sveta Popova. I’m 17. I’m a student of the medical college. Our college is one of the oldest educational establishments of the region with its own traditions. Its graduates are considered to be the most highly trained specialists in the region. There are 7 departments in our college. I would like to tell you about them.

“Nursing Affair” gives qualification of a nurse of general practice. A medical nurse is a chief assistant of a doctor. She provides uninterrupted medical help including preventive and rehabilitation measures. Our graduates work in the polyclinics, hospitals, kindergartens, schools and houses for aged people.

If you want to become a doctor assistant you should study at the “Curative Affair” department.  A doctor assistant of general practice is a highly-trained specialist who works independently in the polyclinics, emergency ambulances and hospitals. His main task includes prescription and performance of preventive, curative and diagnostic measures. The graduates of this department are waited for at the stations of emergency medical help, in the country-side hospitals and in the military hospitals.

“Obstetrician Affair” is another interesting department. It offers qualification of an obstetrician. An obstetrician provides preventive and curative medical help to the pregnant women ant patients with gynecological diseases.

Boys and girls whose future profession is dentist study at the “Stomatology” department. A dentist is a highly-trained specialist who works independently or under the guidance of a senior doctor who provides preventive and curative medical help for the population.

“Medical-Prophylactic Affair” gives qualification of a sanitary doctor assistant who prevents appearance and spreading of infections and other kinds of the diseases. He controls the influence of the conditions of work and life on a person’s health and takes some measures to prevent this harmful influence of the surroundings. They work in the centers of state sanitary inspectors and laboratories of different branches.

A dental mechanic is a future specialist who studies at the “Orthopedic Stomatology” and learns to make artificial teeth and crowns, plastic and porcelain teeth. On graduating from the college they usually work in the dental mechanical laboratories.

As for me I am a student of the “Pharmacy” department. My future profession is pharmaceutist. I’ll provide the population with different medicines. My work will demand the knowledge of preventive rules, the rules of herb’s preparation and so on. The graduates of our department will be able to work in the chemist’s, pharmacological enterprises, laboratories. I like to study at our college very much.

We study Anatomy

At the practical Anatomy class we study the human body. The principle parts of the human body are the head, the trunk and the limbs (extremities). We speak of the upper extremities (arms) and the lower extremities (legs).

The head consists of two parts: the skull which contains the brain, and the face which consists of the forehead, the eyes, the nose, the mouth, the cheeks, the ears and the chin. In the mouth there are gums with teeth, the tongue and the palate. The head is connected with the trunk by the neck. The upper part of the trunk is the chest and the lower one is the abdomen.

The principle organs in the chest are the lungs, the heart and the gullet (esophagus). We breathe with the lungs. The heart contracts and makes 60-80 beats per minute. The principle organs in the abdominal cavity are the stomach, the liver, the spleen, the intestine, the kidneys, the gall-bladder and the bladder.

The framework of the bones is called the skeleton; it supports the soft parts and protects the organs form injury. The bones are covered with muscles. The upper extremity is connected with the chest by the shoulder. Each arm consists of the upper arm, forearm, elbow, wrist and hand. We have four fingers and a thumb on each hand. The lower extremity (the leg) consists of the hip (the thigh), knee, calf, ankle and foot.

The body is covered by the skin.

Exercise 4. Read and translate the text.

The skeleton

The skeleton is composed of bones. In the adult the skeleton has over 200 bones.

The bones of the skull consist of cranial and facial parts¹. There are 26 bones in the skull.

The bones of the trunk are the spinal column or the spine and the chest (ribs and the breastbone). The spine consists of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral vertebrae and the coccyx.

The vertebra is a small bone, which is formed by the body and the arches². All the vertebrae compose the spinal column or the spine. There are 32 or 34 vertebrae in the spine of the adult. In the spinal column there are seven cervical vertebrae, twelve thoracic vertebrae, five lumbar, five sacral vertebrae and from one to five vertebrae which form the coccyx. The cervical part of the spine is formed by seven cervical vertebrae. Twelve thoracic vertebrae have large bodies. The lumbar vertebrae are the largest vertebrae in the spinal column. They have oval bodies.

The chest (thorax) is composed of 12 thoracic vertebrae, the breastbone and 12 pairs (nap) of ribs. The breastbone is a long bone in the middle of the chest. It is composed of three main parts. The basic part of the chest is formed by the ribs. On each side of the chest seven ribs are connected with the breastbone by cartilages. The cartilages of three other ribs are connected with each other and with the seventh rib. But the cartilages of these ribs are not connected with the breastbone. The eleventh and the twelfth ribs are not connected with the breastbone either (также). They are not connected with other ribs, they are free. Each rib is composed of a head, neck and body.

The lower extremity consists of the thigh, leg and foot. It is connected with the trunk by the pelvis. The upper extremity is formed by the arm, forearm and hand. It is connected with the trunk by the shoulder girdle (пояс).

The bones of the skeleton are connected together by the joints or by the cartilages and ligaments. The bones consist of organic and inorganic substance.

Exercise 1. Answer the questions:

1. Who is Hippocrates?

2. What do you know about him?

Exercise 2. Read and translate the text.

Hippocrates — "The father of medicine"

Hippocrates was born in 460 В. С on the island (остров) of Cos. He was the son of a doctor. Hippocrates studied medicine and then he went from town to town where he practiced the art of medicine. It is known that he drove out (изгнал) the plague [pleig] (чума) from Athens by lighting fires in the street of the city.

Hippocrates was known as an excellent doctor and a teacher of medicine. He established medical schools in Athenes and in other towns. He wrote several books and many case histories (история болезни). Hippocrates taught his pupils to examine the patient very attentively and to give him quick help. He created medicine on the basis of experience. He taught that every disease was a natural process and it had natural causes. Hippocrates treated diseases by exercise, massage, salt water baths, diet and suitable (под-ходящий) medicine. He observed diseases such a pneumonia, tuberculosis and malaria and added to the medical language such words as chronic, crisis, relapse (ре­цидив) and convalescence (выздоровлении).

Hippocrates made medicine an art, a science and a profession.

Hippocrates is the most famous of all the Greek doctors. He is often called "the father of Medicine" and some of his ideas are still important.

Doctors in many countries take the Hippocratic Oath (клятва). It is a collection of promises (обещание), written by Hippocrates, which forms the basis of the medical code of honour (кодекс чести). The Oath of Hippocrates contains many of his basic thoughts and principles.

Medicine in the Middle Ages

Man tried to protect health during the Middle Ages. Certain important health methods were used during this period. Epi­demics of diphtheria, typhoid, fever, leprosy (проказа), influ­enza, bubonic plague and other diseases took millions of lives.

Leprosy was spread for hundreds of years. This disease was controlled not by medical means. The patients lived in spe­cial colonies away from other people. This was a very impor­tant advance in public health during this period.

During the Middle Ages plague killed many millions of people in Europe.

In 1348 the "Black Death" struck (поразила) Britain: nobody knew how to fight with the disease. The doctors ad­vised people to run away from the affected (пораженные) areas. Everybody agreed that plague was god's punishment (божья кара) for the sins (грех) of men.

Developments of the Middle Ages

A very important development during the Middle Ages was the hospital. Hospitals appeared in Ceylon early in the fifth century В. С and in India in 260 В. С Hospitals were founded during the Middle Ages in Italy, France, England, Spain, and other European countries.

The number of hospital beds was not always an indication of hospital size, usually great beds were used and four-six patients were put on one bed.

Hospitals were founded to treat the sick people. Another development during the Middle Ages was the foundation of Universities. Many of the great European Universities were founded during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Bi­ological sciences were taught in the universities. Students also studied the human body and some diseases.

Exercise 5. Answer the following questions:

1. What were important developments during the Mid­dle Ages?

Exercise 2. Translate the text.

The developments of the twentieth century

During the first seventy years of the twentieth century many discoveries were made in the treatment and prevention of disease. In 1901 Karl Land Steiner discovered the blood groups.

Some diseases are not caused by germs or infections but by the lack (недостаток, нехватка) of certain substances in our food. The discovery of vitamins in 1912 was very impor­tant to provide (обеспечить) people with a properly balanced diet. In 1922 Sir Frederick Banting found that insulin was very effective against diabetes. Penicillin was discovered in 1928 by Dr. Alexander Fleming who became the founder of the modern science of antibiosis. Penicillin was used in hos­pitals to reduce infections in wounds during the Second World War. Streptomycin and a series of anti-infection drugs were discovered after penicillin. All these drugs are known as antibiotics.

A drug known as Sulphanilamide was discovered in 1935. It became the first of the "miracle" drags (чудодейственное лекарства) which gave immediate and amazing results in the treatment of many infectious diseases including pneumonia.

During the two world wars, great advances were made in the field of plastic surgery, in which skin, bone or muscle was taken from one part of the body and then was transplanted to a badly injured area in another part.

Great progress was made in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, bacterial and viral infec­tions, kidney disorders and other main causes of death and disability (потеря трудоспособности). The individual of today will live longer and more healthfully than ever before.

Exercise 3. Give the English equivalents to the following word combinations:

D.I. Mendeleyev

D.I. Mendeleyev, the great Russian scientist, was born in Tobolsk in 1834. After finishing school, at the age of 16, he went to St. Petersburg and entered the Pedagogical Institute. He graduated from the Institute in 1855. In 1866 Mendeleyev was appointed professor at the University where he gave the course of lectures on chemistry. His lectures where always listened to with great interest and attention. Even in the class of two hundred students everyone was able to follow his discussions from the beginning to the end.

Interesting experiments were made in his classes. Both he and his students-assistants worked long hours in preparing the demonstrations so that all would go well.

At the University Mendeleyev taught classes in the morning. In the afternoon he made experiments in his two-room

laboratory. At night Mendeleyev spent much of his time working with the cards on which he put down information about each of the chemical elements.

Mendeleyev made thousands of experiments with his own hands. He made thousands of calculations, wrote a lot of letters, studied many reports. Everything in the world that was known about the chemical elements Mendeleyev knew. For months, for years he searched for missing data. All those data were being brought together and grouped in a special way. In 1869 the description of more than 60 elements was completed, and Mendeleyev published his Periodic Table.

The Periodic Table is spoken of as the beginning of a new era in chemical thought.

In addition to this work Mendeleyev paid much attention to many subjects of an applied chemical nature. He was the first to put forward the idea of studying the upper layers of the atmosphere.

Mendeleyev was elected member of many academies abroad.

He died in February 1907 at the age of 75.

Mendeleyev’s periodic law

The Periodic Law was discovered by D. I. Mendeleyev in 1869. Mendeleyev arranged the elements in tabular form in such a way as to bring their correspondences quite clearly.

The elements are divided into eight groups, each of which is entered in a separate column. They are also divided into 10 «series» each of which is entered upon one horizontal line. The atomic weights increase across the table from left to the right. D. I. Mendeleyev was the first to discover the law of dependence of the properties of the elements upon their atomic weights. The elements in any one column are similar to one another in many ways, the resemblance being very striking.

Mendeleyev found it impossible to construct his table without leaving many of the spaces in it vacant. He considered these vacancies to correspond the elements which were not then known, but which would probably be discovered in the future.

Today the Periodic Law is studied by millions of secondary schoolchildren and by the students at higher establishments of natural sciences and engineering. It is studied by philosophers, historians and teachers.

The Periodic Law serves as a platform for thousands of researchers.
