Department of Infectious Diseases
About the department
Department of İnfectious Diseases of the Azerbaijan State Advanced Training Institute for Doctors named after A. Aliyev (ASATID) was established in 1945 and since then operates within the third City Clinical Hospital. The first director of the department was prof. Sh.S.Khalfen, honoured scientist of Azerbaijan. Docent E.A.Shtivel, his assistants H.D.Mehdiyeva, A.T.Gulibekova performed at the department during that time and worked for improvement of education quality as well as for scientific development. Beginning from the first days the department undertakes professional development of doctors and scientific researches. M.M.Guliyev was the first post-graduate student of the department (1946-1949) and in next years M.A.Guliyev (1956-1959), N.B.Tagiyeva (1957-1960), Vinogradova-Rahmanova A.H. (1961-1964), N.M.Mammadova –Mirishli (1962-1965), A.I.Asildarova (1964-1967), A.H.Veliyeva (1968-1971), N.H.

Traditionally the first scientific directions of department were acute and chronic intestinal pathology and viral hepatitis. 13 scientific theses have been realized and successfully defended at the department till now. Great part of scientific researches, performed within the department, are practically important. So for the first time in Azerbaijan, in 1946 M.M.Guliyev implemented treatment of abdominal typhus, wide spread at that time, by means of Chloramphenicol and achieved fully treatment and prophylactics of the disease. Further M.M.Guliyev studied immunological changes of patients with abdominal typhus and requested and applied correction of them. In 1961-64 years A.H.Vinoqradova studied forms of hepatitis of children and adults and developed their detection methods. Nowadays specific determination of liver enzymes in the blood serum is also important for diagnostics of all forms of virus hepatitis. She also studied some actual aspects of fulminal hepatitis and treatment methods which she had requested are being applied till now. N.M.Mirishli first in Azerbaijan studied intestinal micro-flora during acute and chronic colitis in 1962 and his correction methods were applied and these methods are actual in our days. Further N.M.Mirishli studied ways of large spreading of chronic hepatitis B virus in big industrial enterprises of Baku city and developed and implemented complex of measures for prevention of infection. Examination of patients with sigellyoz bacteria held within frames of scientific researches implemented in 1964 year by A.I.Asildarova, post-graduate student of the department, showed that all these patients are chronically ill and they must be treated. People in included to special groups should be isolated. Number of doctors studying in development courses during first years of the department was no more than 7-10. Currently there this figure reached to 12-15. In resent years 1-month thematic development and overall improvement courses specializing in infectious diseases, intestinal infections and invasions, various topical infections, including malaria, viral hepatitis, AIDS are being implemented in the department and infectionologist, as well as district doctors and family doctors are involved to these courses. Post graduate doctors (interns) are being informed at these courses.

The Department of Pathological Anatomy and Forensic Medical Examination
About the department
Specialists on pathological anatomy and forensic medical examination of our republic used to go to Moscow, Kiyev and Kharkov cities and Baltic countries for post graduate education some years ago. After the collapse of the former Soviet Union pathological anatomists from Azerbaijan couldn’t attend post-graduation training courses. For solution of this problems courses of Pathological Anatomy and Forensic Medical Examination had been established within the Azerbaijan State Advanced Training Institute for Doctors named after A. Aliyev (ASATID) in 1994. During 5 years since its establishment date, Musayev Shakir, the deputy general director of Forensic Medical Examination and Pathological Anatomy Association of the Ministry of Health led those courses. Each year after its establishment there were conducted at least one training on either forensic medical examination, or pathological anatomy and tens of specialists on pathological anatomy and forensic medical examination have attended those trainings. A lot of scientific works and articles had been prepared and published by employees of the course. But course’s performance wasn’t quite for training of specialists on pathological anatomy and forensic medical examination in the republic, and that’s why in 1998 the "Department of Pathological Anatomy and Forensic Medical Examination, with course of basics of legislation" had been created. The first director of the department became Musayev Shakir, general director of Forensic Medical Examination and Pathological Anatomy Scientific Research Association of the Ministry of Health. Since the date of its establishment material-technical and educational basis of the department are all departments and laboratories of Forensic Medical Examination and Pathological Anatomy Scientific Research Association of the Ministry of Health. There are all conditions for education and practical activity of employees of the department within the Association.
