[PROBLEMS TOWARDS MEASLES ELIMINATION IN RUSSIAN FEDERATION].
Measles elimination efforts in Russia showed success until 2011, after which morbidity increased due to unvaccinated populations and migration. Maintaining high vaccination coverage (over 95%) is key to achieving measles elimination.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
- Vaccinology
Background:
- Live measles vaccines significantly reduced disease globally, enabling the World Health Organization's (WHO) measles eradication program.
- The Russian Federation initiated a measles elimination program in 2002, achieving success by 2007, meeting WHO criteria for four years.
- Measles morbidity began increasing in Russia from 2011, mirroring global trends.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the trends in measles morbidity in the Russian Federation.
- To identify the primary drivers of resurgent measles cases.
- To assess the feasibility of achieving measles elimination under current conditions.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of measles morbidity data in the Russian Federation.
- Evaluation of vaccination coverage rates and population migration patterns.
- Comparison of national measles incidence with WHO elimination criteria.
Main Results:
- Measles morbidity in Russia decreased significantly post-2002, meeting WHO elimination standards (≤1 case per million) from 2007 to 2010.
- A rise in measles cases occurred from 2011 onwards.
- Key factors identified include the accumulation of unvaccinated individuals and population migration.
Conclusions:
- Sustained high vaccination coverage, exceeding 95%, is crucial for successful measles elimination in Russia.
- Addressing unvaccinated populations and migration is essential to control and eliminate measles.
- The objective of measles elimination in Russia remains achievable with consistent public health interventions.

Drug clearance depends on the rate of drug elimination and its plasma concentration. Another important parameter is a drug's half-life, which is the time required for its concentration to decrease by half. In most cases, drug clearance follows first-order...

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
