The subject of science is that side of the object for which specific studies in this field of scientific knowledge are directed. In rheumatology they are: the study, diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory and dystrophic diseases, in which connective tissues and joints are affected. To a certain extent, the development of science is the development of its subject. In recent decades in the world and domestic rheumatology there have been revolutionary changes, which allowed rheumatologic patients to enjoy the results of progress. And now the main role is played by the issues of not material and technical support of the medical diagnostic process or drug supply, but questions of ACTUALIZATION OF INFORMATION OF THE SUBJECT OF RHEUMATOLOGY. This line of work has a higher level than health education, the main methods of which are propaganda and belief in a healthy lifestyle, the ways of preserving health and preventing diseases. Sanitary education work with its methods of individual, collective and mass work is actual, but does not cover the changes in the general educational level of the population and mass media.
