History creation of scientific circle. The Student Circle at the Department of Phthisiology and Pulmonology has been functioning since 1960 year, when Professor Pylypchuk Mykola Stepanovych began to manage the department (Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine, laureate of state award, academician of the Academy of Higher Education of Ukraine, Doctor of Medical Sciences; author of 250 scientific publications, including 10 monographs).

 

The first scientific supervisor of the student circle is  Professor Pylypchuk Mykola Stepanovych.

 

The main focus of the group at that time was to improve the treatment of tuberculosis patients and non-specific lung diseases.

The subject of work of the first circle created at the department:

– The role of domestic scientists in the development of phthisiology

– The prevalence of tuberculosis in countries around the world

– Features of the causative agent of tuberculosis

– Radiodiagnosis of tuberculosis

– Improvement of methods of antimycobacterial therapy

– Mastering the methodology of spirographic research

– Diagnosis of pulmonary heart

– Blood clotting in patients with tuberculosis

 

Circle students have participated in All-Union, Republican, City and Institute conferences:

– All-Union – I All-Union Student Scientific Conference of Medical Universities “Tuberculosis Immunology” (September 12-14, 1979 year) – V. V. Petrenko, A. P. Putanenkoо and  V. V. Rudenko.

Prokhorovich I.V. was awarded the medal as the best Ukrainian circle player (in the 80s).

– Republican – Scientific-student conference “Issues of diagnostics, treatment and prevention of diseases of respiratory organs” (October 1 – 3, 1979 year) – Petrenko VI, Putanenko AP, Rudenko VV

– City – Rudenko V.V., Petrenko V.I., Glushko V.L.

– Institute – Ostapenko N., Filonenko V.

At the meetings of the scientific circle, reports on the performance of students’

scientific works are heard; a clinical analysis of patients with respiratory tuberculosis and chronic nonspecific lung diseases (CNLD) is conducted.

Due to the remoteness of the department, students – circle members also study individually under the guidance of a teacher. Under the supervision of the appointed scientific supervisor and with his help, these students conduct scientific research, master various methods of research of the cardiovascular system and the function of external respiration, modern prevention schemes and schemes and methods of treatment of patients with respiratory tuberculosis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis.

At the meeting, the student-club members presented their reports in a very interesting way, with enthusiasm and high activity. The young scientists showed their inclination and talent for science and skills in conducting tuberculosis research.

Professor Olga Bogdanivna Pikas (Head of the CIS of the Department of Phthisiology and Pulmonology) clarified the need for an integrated approach in practical medicine, because each discipline complements the other.

Associate Professor Oleksandra Romanivna Buts (Scientific Director of the Student Scientific Circle of the Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases) wished to continue such meetings (in a combination of several departments).
