Jjoviet preparations on the basis of this
.
'.earch.
Chazov discussed the potential
ad-
vantages of organizing joint work on
certain problems,
such
as development of
preparations
for treating AIDS patients.
He claimed that the USSR Academy of
Sciences’
Institute of Molecular Biology
has the potential
to develop
such
a
preparation quickly.
He mentioned that
he
and colleagues developed
a method for
synthesizing nalokson
(a preparation
for
treating drug addiction
and
shock)
in
collaboration with academician A.
V.
Fokin.
Chazov went on to discuss
steps which
have
been taken
to improve the system for
testing and appraising medicinal
prepara-
tions and medical
technology.
A Main
Scientific-Technical
Administration
is
being created
in the Ministry of Health,
for example.
All
control
institutes are
being combined
into an
Institute for State
Expert Review,
and a new system
is being
introduced for the purpose of substantially
expediting the testing of new drugs.
Under
this system,
the first clinical
stage
in
.the study of a preparation will
be com-
bed
in
14 days.
A conclusion will
then
issued
in regard to the advisability of
continuing work on the preparation.
Marchuk endorsed the idea of targeted
planning for promoting the advancement of
medical
research of major importance
in
key
areas.
He noted that drafting of a special
large-scale program has been proposed for
this purpose.
Such
a program would
provide,
among other things,
for future
integration of efforts of the USSR Academy
of Sciences and AMN SSSR with those of the
ministries of the medical
and microbiologi-
cal
industry,
the chemical
industry and the
ministry of instrument building,
means of
automation and control
systems.
Chazov
felt that work on specific problems of
combating AIDS should be
included
in
such
a
program.

Abstract:
The article reports on methods
used by scientists of the USSR Academy of
Scl ences
I nstitute of Radio
Engineering
...
and Elect roni cs
to study fields which occur
around human beings and other living
organisms
in the course of breathing and
other vital
processes.*
This
research was
directed by academician
Yjiriy Gulyayev and
Doctor of Physical -Mathematical
Sciences
Eduard Godik .
Initial
results of the
project“were reported recently at
a
scientific session of the USSR Academy of
Sciences’
Department of General
Physics
and
Astronomy.
A unique computerized measuring complex
consisting of several
connected systems was
developed at the radio engineering
in-
stitute for the project.
This equipment
is
said to include an infrared-imaging
system;
a computer complex;
capacitive antennas for
recording movements of low-energy electric
charges on
a subject's
skin;
a unit
consisting of
a magnetometer and
a super-
conductive quantum interference sensor
(skvld);
a special
phonon-counting system
for recording changes
in the skin's
luminescence;
and apparatus for monitoring
the condition of the subject's
immediate
surroundings,
using such methods
as
thermography and laser spectroscopy.
The
imaging system,
which records infrared
radiation from 16,000 points on the body's
surface,
is capable of measuring their
temperature
10 times
a second with
a
precision of hundredths of
a degree,
it
is
claimed.
This information
is transmitted
to the computer,
which
is used to distin-
guish sections
oi> the skin's
surface where
temperatures change
in certain ways,
and to
trace the pattern of these changes over a
period of time.
The skvid-magnetometer
is
said to be capable of measuring magnetic
fields which are billions of times weaker
than the Earth's magnetic field.
Subjects'
fields were measured with the aid of 64
sensors connected to this
unit.
Correction
for interference
from external
sources,
such as electromagnetic fields of natural
objects and
industrial
facilities,
was done
with the aid of the computer complex and

-special
devices.
The complex reportedly enabled the
V-,;.
i entl sts to obtain original
experimental
measurements of the Intensity and spatial
distribution of fields surrounding living
beings,
and also to determine human
sensitivity to fields generated by another
human organism.
This was accomplished by
simulating fields with
instruments.
It was
found that
a human being
is capable of
sensing changes
in another person's
infrared radiation,
and possibly also of
sensing low-energy electric fields of
another organism.
It was discovered that
the skin can sense variations
in
a heat
flow from an external
source which
are
on
the order of 0.3-0. 5 milliwatt per square
centimeter,
for example.

Correction:
On page 2 of the September

1987,
Issue of SNAP,
the first sentence of
^the Item on an explosion for military
"
'poses should
read:
"On August
25,
at
JO p.m.,
Moscow time,
a ground burst of a
conventional
explosive charge was conducted
..."
The title should be corrected
accordingly.
