Formation of Cross-Disciplinary Interaction of Epidemiology and Pathological Physiology during Post-Nonclassical Development of Science

In the submitted message the process of historical formation of epidemiology and the prospect of development of this preventive discipline in its cross-disciplinary interaction with a pathophysiology on new, post-nonclassical, a stage of formation of science is considered. These two fundamental medical sciences are engaged in any diseases (pathological states) irrespective of their origin and have identical approaches to their study which in the most generalized view can be reduced to identification of the causes, mechanisms of development and outcomes of pathological states at the level of generalizations. In both scientific disciplines also an object of researches — a disease of the person (sick organism) is identical. Fundamental differences take place only for the main subject of studying these sciences which pathological processes for a pathophysiology and population morbidity, including its consequences, for epidemiology are. But and these categories in many respects are an essence one and too, but only at various levels of the organization of live. Therefore, the nature of transformations of both scientific disciplines in philosophical and methodological sense completely keep within a framework of modern transformations of science during formation of its post-nonclassical stage. It in turn assists formation of the next (cross-disciplinary) period in epidemiology which continues and develops basic provisions of its third stage defining population approach when studying various pathology. Thus, in the period of post-nonclassical science there is a process of cross-disciplinary formation of epidemiology that brings her to higher level of development and generalizations.
