Moscow ophthalmologists have developed and implemented a new combination treatment for Coats' disease, a rare congenital eye disorder in children. This innovative method allows for the preservation of vision even in the most severe cases and avoids complex surgical interventions. Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

"One of the key factors in qualitatively expanding our capabilities in treating patients, especially children, is the implementation of innovative developments. And the capital is committed to providing specialists with all the necessary conditions to develop new, unique methods. For example, doctors at the Z.A. Bashlyaeva Hospital have introduced an effective treatment for a rare eye condition, Coats' disease, which, without timely intervention, can lead to severe vision loss, even leading to complete vision loss. This new combined approach combines a special laser treatment with medicinal injections. Its main advantage is the ability to preserve children's vision without the need for traumatic surgeries, which would put unnecessary strain on their bodies. The method was developed based on the latest scientific advances and is now being successfully used in clinical practice," said Anastasia Rakova.

The innovative approach involves combining several techniques. First, doctors perform laser coagulation of the retina: the laser strengthens the affected areas, creating a barrier that prevents detachment. Additionally, intraocular injections of special medications are used to suppress pathological changes in the blood vessels. This comprehensive treatment helps reduce swelling under the retina, ensure proper reattachment, and partially restore vision.

The new approach is effective even in the late stages of the disease, eliminating the need for complex surgeries that were previously unavoidable. With adherence to recommendations and regular monitoring, the method demonstrates lasting results: retinal reattachment and improved visual acuity.

To ensure the timely diagnosis of such retinal pathologies, the hospital's consultative and diagnostic department offers specialized laser surgery. Furthermore, an effective collaboration has been established with the Helmholtz National Medical Research Center for Eye Diseases. Patients from the federal center are now referred for staged treatment to the ophthalmology department of the Z.A. Bashlyaeva Children's Hospital.

The Z.A. Bashlyaeva Children's City Clinical Hospital is one of the largest multidisciplinary hospital complexes in the capital. It boasts a unified technological chain encompassing all stages of treatment, from patient admission to full recovery. The hospital comprises over 20 specialized departments, providing high-tech care to children for both somatic and surgical conditions.

For young patients, the hospital has specialized departments: a short-stay surgical hospital, a consultative and diagnostic department, a pediatric gastroenterology center, a pediatric cardiology center, an early intervention center, an endoscopy center, and an outpatient department for emergency traumatology and orthopedics.

The third session of the third season of the "Unique Documents: A New Generation's View" project concluded at the Moscow Main Archives. Over the course of three weeks, participants studied archival materials on the history of Russian aeronautics.

"Participants in the third cohort once again demonstrated a strong interest in research and a systematic approach to analyzing archival sources. Based on their study of archival materials related to the activities of Russian aeronauts, they prepared analytical recommendations that helped specialists at the Moscow Main Archives recognize the unique documents of Pavel Osipovich Sukhoi. For us, this is clear confirmation of the practical significance and effectiveness of the project. The final cohort of the third season is coming up, during which participants will work with the documents of famous pilots and aviators and continue their research into the history of Russian aviation," said Yaroslav Onopenko, head of the Moscow Main Archives.

Pavel Sukhoi was a designer who created over 50 aircraft models, many of which represented a breakthrough in aircraft engineering thanks to their record-breaking range, speed, and altitude. He also founded his own school of aircraft design, distinguished by its innovative approach and bold engineering solutions.

Participants also learned about the personal files of prominent figures in aircraft manufacturing: the "father of Russian aviation" Nikolai Zhukovsky, his student and aviation scientist Boris Yuryev, Soviet designer Boris Stechkin, and other significant figures. The students studied in detail the drawings and design of aeromobiles, helicopters, airplanes, and other aircraft. Unimplemented projects also sparked interest, allowing them to learn more about the designers and their engineering projects.

Over three in-person sessions, project participants mastered basic methods for analyzing historical sources, learned about the scanning department, and learned about archival document storage and restoration technologies. The project resulted in research materials revealing the significance of individual archival documents, as well as proposals for designating a number of them as unique, including Pavel Sukhoi's documents.

The next phase of the project will begin on March 18th, and will once again focus on aviation. Participants will have the opportunity to work with authentic materials, including pilots' personal files.

The project "Unique Documents. A New Generation's View" has been implemented in the capital since 2023. It is organized by the Main Archives of Moscow in conjunction with the capital's Department of Education and Science The Moscow Center for Educational Practices invites students in grades 8–11 and college students to participate.

The Moscow Longevity Project is now accepting applications for the second cohort of the Barista School course. Classes will begin on March 20 and will be held weekly at 11 flagship Moscow Longevity Centers located throughout the capital.

Learn from professionals and do an internship at a coffee shop

Moscow Barista School experts will once again serve as instructors. They will introduce the older generation to coffee varieties and roasting levels, and teach them how to use a coffee machine and grinder. Participants will master alternative brewing methods—using a Turkish coffee pot, a moka pot, and a V60 coffee maker—and learn the secrets of perfect milk foam and latte art. A separate training module will be dedicated to preparing matcha and cocoa. Upon completion of the course, graduates will receive a Moscow Barista School certificate. You can enroll in the course bylink.

Graduates of the first cohort have already had the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice. On March 1st and 2nd, on the symbolic dates of Moscow Longevity's birthday and International Barista Day, the project participants worked shifts at Shokoladnitsa coffee shops.

For several hours, senior baristas worked behind the counter under the supervision of coffee shop staff. They took orders, prepared coffee, frothed milk, created latte art, and monitored the quality of drinks and the speed of service. All processes took place in real time—with actual customers and with full responsibility for the results.

"My main motivation for attending the 'Barista School' course was the desire to learn something completely new. Each lesson included theory and practice, so we not only mastered different coffee-making techniques but also learned interesting facts about it. Today was a real adventure for me. I was able to become part of a team of professionals, and the mentors helped me, explaining what to mix and what to add. It was a huge responsibility for us, because my results were judged by the coffee shop's patrons," shared Galina Zhuravleva, a participant in the Moscow Longevity project.

Visitors supported the new baristas, expressed interest in the project, and noted the high level of training of the participants. Honored Master of Sports of Russia and Olympic medalist figure skater Alexander Enbert sampled the coffee prepared by the older Muscovites.

"You need to learn throughout your life, and it's never too late to start mastering something new. It's important to constantly improve, develop, and move forward—this helps maintain mental clarity and vitality. Today, one of the Moscow Longevity participants, Galina, made me a wonderful coffee. Until recently, she simply loved this drink, but now, after completing specialized courses and training, she has become a true expert. Now she can brew delicious coffee not only for herself but also for other connoisseurs. It was very nice to meet someone who is moving forward, and most importantly, she's excellent at it," noted Alexander Enbert.

New skills and a new work environment

For the graduates, this experience was an opportunity to experience the rhythm of a modern coffee shop, work in a team, and gain confidence in their abilities. The internship, they said, helped them fully immerse themselves in the work environment and apply their new skills, while the course itself helped them rethink their approach to coffee: choosing beans more carefully, monitoring the grind and water temperature, and experimenting with proportions and brewing methods.

For Elena Fomina from the Krylatskoye Center for Longevity in Moscow, an internship at the coffee shop was an opportunity to put her knowledge into practice and gain a fresh perspective on coffee making. She particularly enjoyed the hands-on sessions, where participants learned various brewing methods, including alternative ones. She's already started using the knowledge she gained at home and is considering purchasing a espresso machine.

"It turns out there are many more ways to brew coffee than I imagined. I discovered pouring through a funnel and learned how to froth milk for cappuccino in a French press. I used to brew coffee by eye, without thinking about the proportions. Now I brew it mindfully: I understand how the flavor depends on the type, grind, and water-to-coffee ratio. I prefer a softer, chocolatey flavor without excess acidity, and now I try to match my beans to that preference. My family is happy I took the course and enjoys trying new drinks," she said.

The best graduates were selected based on practical training sessions held at the coffee shop chain's training center. There, participants practiced the skills they learned during the course using professional equipment in conditions as close as possible to a real coffee shop. Experts selected 22 finalists: their drinks received the highest ratings for taste and texture, they confidently used the equipment, and they completed practical tasks faster than others.

The Moscow Longevity project celebrated its eighth anniversary in March. According to Sergei Sobyanin, during this time, the project has united over 730 thousand participants, and the number of centers has grown to more than 140.

"Moscow Longevity" offers senior Muscovites over 100 activities, from sports and foreign language learning to digital technology, creativity, and applied skills. You can join the project online on the portal. mos.ru or leave a request forwebsite, as well as in person at any Moscow longevity center or at the My Documents office.
