The team was headed by Irina V. Kondratenko, Head of the Department of Clinical Immunology, and also included an endocrinologist, an allergologist, an orthopedist, and a neurologist. The specialists examined children from four orphanages located in Volodga and the surrounding region, and also orphans who are presently under foster care in families. A total of 262 consultations were given, and the necessary therapy was prescribed or adjusted. In the most complex cases, the children were referred for treatment at the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital and other medical institutions in Moscow. Continued...

24.05.2010 Good news from Spain: Nikita has undergone a difficult but successful surgical operation on his chest. The sutures have already been removed, and the boy is recovering. Some time ago he could not even taste solid food owing to a serious congenital pathology. And now he can eat anything with pleasure and without any problems. The boy is feeling fine. We are looking forward to his arrival in Moscow at the end of this week.

Ira G. has been sent to the Childhood Rehabilitation Center after completion of her treatment.
Nikita Ya., accompanied by Natalia Artemieva (member of our foundation responsible for programs concerning orphan patients), has left for Barcelona, where he will undergo a difficult surgical operation.

Pavel T-v has been discharged from the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital and transferred to a hospital at his place of residence (Ivanovo region). A year ago Pavel was operated by our surgeons; however, serious alterations in brain tissues and vessels that had emerged during his life owing to a cranial malformation caused a number of complications. The boy has undergone long treatment at the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital, and now constant medical observation is necessary. We will closely follow all events in Pavel's life and hope that he will be all right.
A wonderful new boy from the Komi Republic has been admitted to the Department of Endocrinology. Danya A. is five years old. He is very active and inquisitive, but at the same time patient and obedient.

Now 12 orphan patients together with nurses live in this cottage. They undergo medical and rehabilitation procedures, works with specialists in exercise therapy and with psychologists. School-age children visit classes at the local village school, and visiting teachers come to those children who cannot go to school by bus. A special person at this rehabilitation center helps the children with their homework and provides them with good books.
Since the weather has become warm, children spend a lot of time outdoors, cycling or playing at the playground. Volunteers come to them every day and organize various hobby groups: the children draw, make some handiwork, play the piano, use a personal computer. Recently the building became connected to the internet.
The children also learn cooking, housekeeping and the basics of work with carpenter tools. This is especially important for children who have no parents to teach them and no home of their own.
See photo gallery: rehabilitation center in April 2010.

Ilya Polyanskii, a former patient of our hospital, visited us together with his grandmother. He got treatment for nephroblastoma at the Department of Oncology four years ago. We did not specially announce fundraising for his treatment on our Web site, but at that time we bought the necessary medications for the entire department so that the children could get vitally necessary therapy in accordance with the medical protocol.
Now Ilya is all right and quite happy. He is studying at an art school. His grandmother handed us a letter of thanks to all who had helped this friendly family during the difficult time at the hospital.

10.04.2010 Some news about orphan patients of our hospital.
Tanya K. has recovered after an operation at the Department of Microvascular Surgery. She has been allowed to go back to her orphanage, and in May she will arrive at the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics for rehabilitation.
Masha S. has also left the hospital till May. She was so reluctant to leave her nurse!
Hearing aids have been bought for Natasha G., and now an audiologist is working with her.
Ira G. (9 years old) from the Vladimir region has been admitted to the Department of Microvascular Surgery. She has already undergone a surgical operation.
Little Anya P. (1.5 years old) was recently operated at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery. Now she is undergoing rehabilitation at the new center.
Our old friend Olya B-na has arrived at the hospital for the final plastic surgery on her nose. Her orthodontic correction is still going on.

Our doctors are glad to see Zhenya P.'s progress. His physician Yulia Averyanova says that the boy is fine. His prognosis was poor a year ago: short bowel syndrome is difficult to treat. But successful reconstructive and plastic surgery on his intestines, together with rehabilitation, have done a miracle. Now the boy is no longer dependent on infusions and parenteral nutrition. His life and health are not in danger, and the only thing he really needs is a family. The staff of the Department of Abdominal Surgery have got to love this kid, and they hope that some time they will be able to hand this kid into the loving arms of his new parents. The boy is very active and happy. See Zhenya's photo gallery!
Presently there are 13 orphan patients at the hospital; 6 nurses hired by the Foundation take care of them. Also, there are 8 orphan patients at the new rehabilitation center.

10.04.2010 Head of the Department of Coloproctology A.L. Ionov has asked our Foundation for financial aid in purchase of equipment for this department:
"For adequate diagnosis and treatment of colorectal disorders in children, it is necessary to perform a combined functional examination of rectal function and condition of pelvic floor muscles (anorectal manometry etc.). Continued...
Presenly, unfortunately, the apparatus formerly used for such examinations has already become overage and obsolete. Consumables for this equipment are no longer produced. In addition, its technical condition is unsatisfactory because of frequent breakdowns and subsequent maintenance works.
However, specialized aid to children with coloproctologic problems at the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital will be impossible without such equipment!
A new apparatus for these diagnostic procedures is required. It costs at least 40,000 euro."

Our charitable foundation is launching a new program: help for children with combined allergic disorders (dermatorespiratory syndrome). The use of a new drug, Xolair, makes it possible to achieve marked improvement in the condition of such children. Unfortunately, this expensive drug is not presently provided to the hospital at the expense of the stage budget.

9.04.2010 Head of the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery A.V. Lopatin has asked our Foundation for aid in purchase of instruments:
" Please consider providing aid in buying a shadowless operating lamp for the surgical dressing room of the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery. We need this lamp to perform certain procedures on children under anesthesia. These are children getting treatment for maxillofacial, ophthalmologic, and neurologic disorders. The cost of the lamp is about 550,000 roubles ($18,875). In view of our longstanding and fruitful cooperation in helping seriously ill children, considering also your participation in the foundation and work of our Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, I hope for your understanding and aid".

8.04.2010 Head of the X-ray Department Tatiana E. Netsvetaeva has handed us a letter of thanks to our Foundation for participating in fundraising for purchase of Mobile DaRt Evolution X-ray setup.

6.04.2010 This Saturday, just before Easter, Varya Bondarenko died. It all happened very fast, even before her condition has diagnosed and treatment could be started...

26.03.2010 Recently our old friend Stanislav Brynza came to our hospital for a check-up. Fortunately, he is all right and in excellent spirits. He handed us his new photograph and a letter for children who are now getting treatment at the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital:
"I wish all the children to recover! I was also treated at this hospital. It was a very difficult time, but now it is over, and I have a normal life. Maybe better than any healthy person.
Never give up!
Stas Brynza"

23.03.2010 The fundraising for treatment of Anastasia Mikhailichenko is over. We thank an anonymous woman from the parish of the Sts. Cosma and Damian Church, who has transferred the entire needed sum for Anastasia.

22.03.2010 We are starting fundraising for the benefit of orphan patient Nikita Ya.; he has not yet returned to the hospital, but an important decision concerning further aid to this boy has been made.
After an examination at the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital and a consultation at the Bakulev Center for Cardiovascular Surgery, it was decided that his rare and complex disorder should be treated abroad. The surgical treatment and therapy will cost a total of 15,000 euro.

20.03.2010 Presently the required amounts of immunosuppressive and antiviral drugs for patients of the Department of Kidney Transplantation have been purchased.

18.03.2010 Matvei Korzh is recovering after the third transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells in his five-year-old life. He is currently being discharged from hospital for out-patient treatment. The physicians and parents do their best to achieve stable remission. By the way, Matvei's brother was recently born!

17.03.2010 Our foundation has received an official letter from I.E. Volkov, Head of Department of Endocrinology and Diabetology, and A.A. Bologov, Deputy Head Physician of Russian Children's Clinical Hospital:
"Among children getting intensive insulin therapy for diabetes mellitus type I, only about 5-7% patients in Russia have compensated condition. The most rational and internationally acknowledged way of insulin administration, leading to better compensation of the patients' condition and improving the quality of their life, is insulin pump therapy. However, the use of this method in our country is very limited owing to high cost of insulin pumps: one pump with the complete set of peripherals and consumables costs about 180,000 roubles (over $6000). For this reason, it would be fine if your foundation could consider purchasing insulin pumps for young children from poor families in cases where there are absolute indications for this kind of therapy."
The Help and Charity Service of the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital is launching a new program to help children with insulin-dependent diabetes.

16.03.2010 Some news about orphan patients of our hospital.
Inna N. has been discharged after successful completion of her treatment. This time is lasted three months. It was a pity for us and for other children to part with Inna. However, she didn't waste time: during her stay in Moscow, she managed to complete professional cooking courses!
Andrei S. has also left the hospital after completion of his treatment. He first appeared at the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics three years ago. He could not walk because of a serious congenital disorder, and nobody hoped that his problems could be overcome. However, the physicians have managed to achieve the impossible: Andrei left the hospital on his own legs!
Milena has come back to the hospital after a rehabilitation course. We missed her very much!

2.02.2010 Our charitable foundation has received three applications from the hospital administration for purchase of up-to-date medical equipment. All three devices are equally necessary, and all three are very expensive: a mobile X-ray system, an apparatus for correction of cicatricial skin lesions, and a Multichannel EEG setup with video-EEG monitoring option. The total cost of all three devices is over 20.5 million roubles (given the current rouble/dollar rate, about $683,000). See the links above to read about each of these setups.

29.01.2010 When Milena first came to our hospital from Yakutia in 2006, she was only five years old. Over all these years, our foundation has been providing various kinds of aid to her. Milena is our dear friend, and our new rehabilitation center has become a real home for her.

28.01.2010 Anya O. has been admitted to the hospital for follow-up treatment. We became good friends with this active and merry girl when she was in Moscow last time. Now Anya is already 3. She is quite a big girl, interested in books, especially in her favorite interactive book that "speaks" bird and animal voices.
Olya B-na had rhinoplasty two days ago. This is the final stage of her long treatment, which lasted almost four years. Presently she is recovering after her surgical operation and looking forward to seeing its results in the mirror.

27.01.2010 And sad news again. We have learned about the deaths of Nikita Semenov and Kolya Davydkin (the latter boy was not shown on the first page of our Web site, because he mostly got financial aid for everyday expenses, not for treatment).
It is very painful to write about such things. But sad news are inevitable in our work. It is sometimes difficult to live and work when you think about this. But we must hold on, in memory of those who have passed away and for the sake of those who are alive and should survive!

25.01.2010 On January 21, Vlada Drozdova underwent bone marrow transplantation from an unrelated donor. We thank all people who donated money for the girl and thus enabled the doctors to perform this transplantation in due time!

Three children are back to the hospital after a break in treatment: Tanya K., Katya M-va, and little Masha S. (after rehabilitation at the new center).
Andrei Sh. is going to have follow-up surgery at the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics. After the recent preparative surgery, the boy has started learning to walk on crutches. The surgeons say that this skill will promote rehabilitation after the future radical operation and allow Andrei to start walking on his own in a shorter time.

14.01.2010 In the first days of January, we got tragic news from St. Petersburg: Vadim Gritchin died. After bone marrow transplantation, the boy developed severe graft vs. host disease, which could not be overecome by any existing drugs. May this boy rest in peace. We wish strength and courage to his wonderful mother Anastasia.

13.01.2010 Some news about orphan patients of our hospital, who get treatment within the You Are Not Alone program.
