Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Honored Scientist of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, Head of the Department of Hospital Therapy in 1966-1981. Lyudmila Yosifovna is our wonderful and beloved contemporary. In her youth, taking in a profession, she faced a dilemma: music, the love for which her mother instilled, and medicine, an example of the faithful service of which was her father. Medicine has won. In 1940 she entered the Moscow Medical Institute, studied in a scientific student circle under the guidance of Academician N.D. Strazhesko. Diploma with honors. Distribution to work in Odessa.
Further, 37 years of life were given to Odessa and its medical institute. Odessa has always been famous for its cardiologists of the highest class. Here professors A.M.Sigal, Ts.A.Levina, M.A.Yasinovsky, L.K.Korovitsky, an excellent connoisseur of electrocardiography G.F.Boyko became the teachers of Lyudmila Yosifovna. Under their influence, she was formed as a doctor, scientist, teacher.
One of the wise people noticed that discoveries are born where the knowledge of the teacher ends and the new knowledge of the student begins. Broad erudition, deep knowledge, the gift of scientific foresight of Lyudmila Yosifovna are reflected in the choice of scientific and practical areas of activity - the development of topical methods for diagnosing and treating cardiovascular pathology, and in particular coronary heart disease.
She proposed a method of fibrinolytic and anticoagulant therapy for acute myocardial infarction, which is essentially the prototype of modern thrombolytic therapy.
On her initiative and with the direct participation of the staff of her department, a specialized cardiological service was created in Odessa to provide assistance to patients with myocardial infarction: specialized ambulance teams - an acute myocardial infarction department with an intensive observation ward - a rehabilitation department for patients with myocardial infarction at the hospital stage (all at base 3 of the city clinical hospital) and the department of the sanatorium stage of rehabilitation (san. "Russia").
In the rehabilitation departments, not only residents of Odessa, but also Odessa, Kherson and Nikolaev regions were treated. All cardiologists of the city were theoretically and practically trained at the Department of Hospital Therapy. During the time of the head of the department, Lyudmila Yosifovna supervised two doctoral and more than 30 master's theses, brought up a galaxy of outstanding teachers, who are now the pride of the University.
The role of L.Y. Aleinikova in the development of the doctrine of marine medicine is significant: a new set of original methods for diagnosing diseases of the cardiovascular system in sailors during a voyage has been developed and implemented; the influence of the conditions of the World Ocean on the development of this pathology was studied. She headed the problematic commission on marine medicine of the Ministry of Health and the Southern Scientific Center of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, a member of the All-Union Problematic Commission "Man-Ocean". L.I. Aleinikova for a long time was the chairman of the regional societies of therapists and cardiologists. The meetings were held in the house of scientists. The hall was always crowded, the mood of listeners and participants was upbeat, as each meeting was prepared as a holiday.
Lyudmila Yosifovna was the organizer of the 10th congress of therapists of Ukraine brilliantly held in Odessa. She also organized one of the international conferences on the problems of marine medicine. The meetings were held on board a passenger liner that was cruising along the Chenomorsky coast. This scientific cruise is still remembered by the participants as one of the brightest pages of life. Lyudmila Yosifovna loved people very much, tried to fill the life of our team with beauty, music, joy ...
These are professionally friendly conversations with Ruslan Fedorovich, Makulkin, Yaroslav Borisovich Maksimovich, Kirill Antonovich Velikanov... meetings with famous writers, actors, musical evenings, which usually took place in the beautiful halls of the House of Scientists.
We remember the celebration of the end of the school year, as we called them in schoolboy "Burning of diaries", at her dacha, the successful defense of dissertations by her students - all that adorned and united our lives Lyudmila Yosifovna.
“Life is also only a moment,
Only dissolution
of ourselves in all others
As if they were a gift ... "
Lectures and reports Lyudmila Yosifovna also perceived and presented as a holiday, they felt her self-expression, no less than in scientific works. She was always happy with the opportunity to tell something new, to convince of something, to attach to something significant and beautiful. Everyone felt that live communication was dear and desirable for her, everyone felt that she loved each colleague and singled out in her own unique way ... The power of charm of her personality was such that people, having a capable and non-standard mind, amaze us “It will be remembered for a long time. But the rarest harmony in life visits us when a person gives us not only the mind, but also strength and heart - this is what remains with us forever.
“Everything will repeat itself again and again:
Faith Hope Love.
True knowledge is the rainbow of the world.
A clear song is an immortal lyre.
Strong heart as a gift for growing
Blessed memory among the living."
Companions, students.
