Panin to northern medicine”
The outstanding Russian scientist Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Lev Evgenievich Panin was at the origins of the creation of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. He formed the Siberian scientific school on the biochemical mechanisms of stress and regenerative processes, human adaptation to the conditions of the Far North, made a great contribution to northern medicine. L.E. Panin was a member of the International Union of Circumpolar Medicine, coordinating scientific research on international programs, related to the study of human health in the North. He was awarded a personal medal and a prize named after. Hildes for research in circumpolar medicine. L.E. Panin created the Research Institute of Biochemistry of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, which he led for 25 years, considered him his brainchild and the main meaning of his life.

Nikolaeva Yu.A. on the characteristics of mortality from cardiovascular pathology in the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
The interest of the listeners was aroused by the fact, that almost all the speakers were repeated participants in expeditions to the Far North or Antarctica.
During the lively discussion of the presented reports and in the final speech of Academician M.I. Voevoda, a point of view was unanimously expressed about the enormous factual material, received from the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Institute of Biochemistry and other institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, who were most actively involved from the 1970s to the early 2000s in the problem of human adaptation to the environmental conditions of Siberia and the Far North. During this period, the foundation was laid for the further development of northern medicine, the demand for which is due to the highest morbidity among the population, accelerated human aging in the regions of Siberia and the Far North and underestimation of the achievements of Siberian scientists in this area.
