MOSCOW, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Russia has granted approval for Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) to conduct clinical trials in Russia of its experimental antiviral pill to treat COVID-19, a state registry of medicines showed on Tuesday.

The trials conducted on 90 people located in home-like conditions with someone who has symptomatic COVID-19 began on Nov. 12 and will continue until March 2023, the registry's website said.

Pfizer said earlier this month the experimental antiviral pill cut by 89% the chance of hospitalisation or death for adults at risk of severe disease. It hopes to make the pill available globally as quickly as possible. read more

In October, Russia shipped abroad a record amount of "other vaccines for humans" - almost as it did all summer. Since the beginning of the year, the export of the main "vaccine code", which has grown sharply since the start of shipments of "Sputnik V", has exceeded $ 1.2 billion.

For ten months of this year, Russian exports of "other vaccines for people" (according to the classification code of the commodity nomenclature of foreign economic activity 3002200009) in value terms amounted to more than $ 1.2 billion (608.6 tons in physical terms), follows from the data of the Federal Customs Service (FCS ) analyzed by RBC. Shipments of these vaccines jumped to $ 356 million in October, more than double the September volume. The October result is a record in the entire history of Russia since the early 1990s. Previously, the export of vaccines for humans, even in annual terms, never exceeded $ 71 million (export for 12 months of 2020).

The global economy is a political farce.  Perhaps the safest vaccine making a a small fraction of the money that Pfizer and Moderna's
crapcines are still making.   Over 50 billion US as far as I can tell based on their profits.

Amiran Revishvili: It was possible to create a system that accurately determines the source of arrhythmia

This looks like Pfizermectin is coming to Russia.

In the 40-50s. the controversy of the Eastern Question sharply escalated. In October 1853, the Ottoman Empire declared war on Russia. On November 18, 1853, in the Turkish port of Sinop, the squadron of the Black Sea Fleet of Vice Admiral Pavel Stepanovich Nakhimov (1802-1855) utterly defeated the Turkish fleet. At the beginning of the Crimean War, on November 6, 1854, Pirogov, together with a group of doctors and nurses he led, left St. Petersburg for the theater of operations. Among the doctors were E. V. Kade, P. A. Khlebnikov, A. L. Obermiller, L. A. Beckers, V. I. Tarasov, Doctor of Medicine, and Pirogov’s faithful assistant, paramedic I. Kalashnikov. The nurses, in whose training Pirogov took part, represented the Exaltation of the Cross community of sisters of mercy, which had just been established on the initiative of Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna. Pirogov was the chief surgeon of the city of Sevastopol besieged by the Anglo-French troops.

Operating on the wounded, Pirogov for the first time in the history of Russian medicine used a plaster cast, giving rise to a savings tactic for treating limb injuries and saving many soldiers and officers from amputation. During the siege of Sevastopol, Pirogov supervised the training and work of the sisters of the Exaltation of the Cross Community of Sisters of Mercy. He divided them into four groups: dressings, pharmacists, housewives, as well as transport sisters who accompanied the wounded to the hospital. This was an innovation at the time. In addition, the sisters were engaged in cleaning, cooking and supervising the quartermasters. Of the 250 sisters of mercy who worked in Sevastopol, 17 died from injuries and illnesses. Pirogov wrote about the unprecedented activities of the sisters of the Exaltation of the Cross community and in memory of their feat "Historical review of the actions of the sisters of the Exaltation of the Cross in care of the wounded and sick in military hospitals in the Crimea and Kherson province from December 1, 1854 to December 1, 1856".

The most important merit of Pirogov was the introduction of triage in Sevastopol - a method of sorting the wounded, first introduced in the Napoleonic army by military surgeon Dominique Jean Larrey. Pirogov, for the first time in Russia, proposed to distribute the wounded according to severity into five categories: 1) hopeless and mortally wounded; 2) seriously and dangerously wounded, requiring urgent assistance; 3) severe, capable of surviving delivery to the hospital after providing primary care; 4) to be sent to the hospital and 5) lightly wounded, who are assisted on the spot (applying a light bandage or removing a superficially sitting bullet). From this sorting, the entire medical and evacuation service of the Russian army subsequently grew. With great difficulty, Pirogov managed to organize the work of military transport teams with horses and comfortable carts, which made it possible to quickly deliver the wounded to the hospital. Therefore, Pirogov is justly considered the founder of a special area in surgery, known as military field surgery.

For merits in helping the wounded and sick during this war, Pirogov was awarded the Order of St. Stanislav, 1st degree.
