The position with code OKPD2 32.50.21.122 “Respiratory resuscitation devices” was planned to be included in government decree No. 616 of April 30, 2020 “On establishing a ban on the admission of industrial goods originating from foreign countries.”

The State Duma quadrupled the limit on the purchase of equipment under compulsory medical insurance
The State Duma adopted a number of amendments to Federal Law 326 “On Compulsory Medical Insurance” regarding restrictions on the spending of compulsory medical insurance funds by clinics. An important addition will be a closed list of expenses that medical organizations will be allowed to make after “completion of participation” in the provision of medical care in the current year. Previously, this rule was criticized by private investors due to restrictions on the development of clinics. In addition, the federal law will now allow the insurance budget to be spent on maintenance and repair of fixed assets, and the limit on the purchase of one unit of medical equipment will increase fourfold - from 100 to 400 thousand rubles.

AI can diagnose childhood autism from eye photographs
Researchers from Yonsei University College of Medicine (South Korea) have developed a method for diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children using artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithms. Algorithms can, after examining a patient's retina, identify ASD and determine the severity of symptoms. The accuracy of predictions at this stage of research reaches 100% when identifying ASD and 74% when determining the severity of symptoms. 958 children with an average age of 7.8 years were selected for AI training. Half of them had previously been diagnosed with ASD. About 85% of the obtained retinal images were used by scientists to train algorithms Scientists at Yonsei University are confident that testing using AI can speed up the process of diagnosing autism in children, relieving the burden on child psychiatrists
