Wounded caudae equinae with a sharp cutting tool in the upper part
Abstract
At the end of the last year and the beginning of the present clinic, there was a case in the continuation of two months to observe a one-sided wound with a sharp cutting tool of that part of the caudae equinae, which is adjacent to the lower branch of the spinal cord. Injuries in general with a sharp tool of the contents of the spine are more inflicted by an outside hand than by the victim himself. According to Roesler, who has collected several of these newest cases from the literature (about 50), most of these injuries occur in the cervical part, where they occur twice as often as in other parts. A particularly extensive literary material concerning injuries, mainly of the spinal cord, was collected from the Flatau literature (from 1743 to 1905, with up to 108 works reviewed). In the review of the described cases of injuries to the contents of the spine over the past seven years, I did not have to meet a single case of injury in the lower part of the spine. Thus, cases of this kind, apparently, are far from frequent. In addition, they seem to be very interesting in diagnostics, which is why I thought it was not superfluous to present our case.

Psychosis as a consequence of trauma
Abstract
The role of trauma in the origin of nervous diseases is beginning to be defined more or less precisely. So, Mendel, on the basis of a large proven material and a thorough study of their own cases, it comes to the conclusion that only meningitis, myelitis, apoplexy and epilepsy can be purely traumatic (rein traumatisch); polyneuritis and brain abscess can also be directly caused by trauma, especially with the help of infection; all the same other diseases of the nervous system: tabes, brain tumor, syringomyelia, Graves disease, paralysis agitans and others, if not with complete certainty, then with the greatest likelihood, how purely traumatic diseases can be considered non-existent.
Physiology n. depressoris. Relationship n. depressor to vasomotor centers. Literary experimental research
Abstract
After describing the most interesting moments observed in our experiments with joint irritation of the nerves of the antagonists-depressor and n-vi ischiadici, comparing all the facts we obtained, we will have to come to the conclusion that the level of blood pressure is dependent at any moment depending on it has two completely opposite agents - the centers of the vasoconstrictor and the vasodilator. Explain all the phenomena in changes in blood pressure by accepting the existence of only one c. vasoconstrictors, as recommended by Suon and his school, is completely impossible. A simple observation of fluctuations in blood pressure, depending on the type of vasodilator or other irritations, makes it necessary to accept the view that the center of the vasodilators exists, and it does not matter at all whether it exists in the form of an isolated center, or if it is a part of the vasomotor center that is embedded in the brain. It is difficult to argue for the false, but in any case, Bayliss's theory46) that the vasomotor center is a paired center - consisting of a constrictor and a dilator - is very close to the truth, if it is not already the truth.

A. V. Ilgin. About the processes of concentration (attention) in the mentally ill. Experimental and psychological study of the mentally ill. Dissertation. From the psychological laboratory of Acad. V. M. Bekhterev. SPb. 1909
Abstract
The author studied attention in the mentally ill four clinical forms: 1) dementia senilis, 2) dem. praec. 3) d. paralyt. and 4) paranoia. All patients were in the stage of clearly expressed dementia, but had not yet reached a deep degree. For the study, the author used the tables of Vaschide icons and tables of 6 letters, repeating without a certain order. The studied patients looked through the tables and marked the pre-defined symbols and letters. The number of viewed icons and letters measured the amount of work, and the % of incorrectly marked and missed ones indicated the quality of it, on the basis of which the conclusion about the state of attention was given.

Max Kahane. Physical treatment of sciatic nerve inflammation. Die physikalische Therapie des Ischias. — Monatsch. f. d. physikal. diät. Heilmethoden. 1909. H. 3
Abstract
The author points out that in the treatment of ischias, all physical methods are widely used; but advises to be strictly guided by the ethology and pathogenesis of this suffering. In the idiopathic form, ethiology consists in two main factors: in the disorder of the exchange of substances and in the common cold; accordingly, physical therapy should be directed. Two methods are most widespread here - hydro and mechanotherapy, to which diet therapy is added. Of the hydrotherapy procedures, the author recommends warm baths or warm-humid limb wraps, especially Scottish showers. In the same cases, where the illness begins with very acute phenomena, one should first refrain from any active therapy, adopting peace, lying on a pillow filled with air or water, additional laxatives and a light diet.
