Problems of adapting available methods, forms, and approaches to agroclimatic support of the economy under climate change conditions are under consideration. Development and operation of an automated reference-information system (ARIS) of agricultural resources, assessment of the environmental bioclimatic potential, and preparation of agroclimatic Atlases (with a reference to hazardous agroclimatic events) are dealt with. The process of adaptation includes development of such system of agroclimatic support of the economy, which would adequately reflect the actual state of agroclimatic resources, bioclimatic potential of the environment, hazardous agroclimatic events, etc., at any prescribed moment, at any point. The problem is supposed to be solved with a mechanism of agricultural monitoring as one of the methods of agroclimatic support of the economy.

Scientific and methodological issues of assessing interannual variability of bioclimatic potential (BCP) in the Russian Federation are under consideration; mathematical models, technology of assessing the BCP from the multiyear mean data and individual years are presented. The calculations and assessments of the BCP and its components are performed by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation from the multiyear mean data and individual years over the period of 1997–2006. It is shown that in several constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the BCP for each year of a 10-year period of the BCP was either below or above its multiyear mean. It is also shown that in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, where the deficiency of thermal resources is observed, some increase in the BCP due to this factor is observed, however, it has not yet reached such values, which would not limit the effective use of other constituents and the BCP as a whole.

The clinical course and biochemical, radioimmune and electrophysiologic findings were assessed in 421 patients with acute myocardial infarction involving heart rhythm and conductivity disorders and 49 patients with acute myocardial infarction, free of cardiac electrical instability. The studies were carried out during arrhythmias and after they were controlled, prior to treatment, at the peak of antiarrhythmic effect of medication, and after a continuous treatment course. Heart rhythm disorders related to acute myocardial infarction were accompanied with a marked response on the part of blood free fatty acids, sympatho-adrenal and kallikrein-kinin activity and carboxycathepsin. Metabolic and neurohumoral changes were eventually reversed and tended to normalize as soon as the sinus rhythm was restored by treatment.
