To clarify diagnostic errors in tumor and non-tumor diseases of the lower and upper lips, we studied the material of 426 cases; moreover, cancer of the upper lip was found in 19 cases and of the lower lip in 326 cases, and 81 cases of benign tumors and other precancerous diseases
Long-term results of surgical treatment of lip cancer
Abstract
Unsatisfactory results of treatment of malignant neoplasms of internal organs are closely related to great difficulties in establishing an early diagnosis. We can expect much better data in the treatment of external forms of cancer, where early recognition often does not require any special research. Long-term results should be especially good for lip cancer, which is easily accessible with timely diagnosis and radical surgical treatment.
Esophago-tracheal fistulas as a complication of esophageal cancer in the X-ray image.
Abstract

On the recognition of malignant chorionic epithelioma of the lungs
Abstract
Among malignant neoplasms of the lungs, chorionepithelioma occupies a somewhat peculiar position both in its pathogenesis and in its clinical course. For the first time, chorionepithelioma was described by the Swede Netzel in 1872 as a tumor of the placenta. Further research by Nikiforov, Pokrovsky, Zenger, Marshan, Pfeifer, and others, finally clarified the origin of this tumor from the epithelium of the villi and its direct connection with pregnancy
On the question of the surgical treatment of colon cancer
Abstract
Colon surgery has not ceased to attract the attention of surgeons until very recently. On the one hand, because the technical issues of colon surgeries are far from being resolved, on the other hand, because in this area we still encounter casuistry, interesting both in its rarity and in the special operational tasks presented to the surgeon
To X-ray diagnostics of benign stomach tumors
Abstract
Tumors of the stomach of a non-cancerous nature are rare. Posenheim classifies them as anatomical curiosities and believes that they are not even of clinical interest. N. Leibe, Eichgorst and Kerven adhere to approximately the same view
On modern methods of diagnosis and treatment results for malignant kidney tumors
Abstract
Despite the tremendous advances in urological diagnostics, the results of the treatment of renal tumors still leave much to be desired. A quarter of a century ago, Israel, a great master of renal surgery, regarded these results as "the shame of renal surgery".
Diagnostics and treatment of solitary kidney cysts
Abstract
Solitary renal cysts are very rare in the clinic. ”Until 1931, 145 cases were described in the literature. In recent years, in the literature available to us, we have found two more cases described by Burlakov, Dykhno and Adamov. According to the summary statistics of surgical operations on the kidneys of Fedorov, Israel, Shede, Cronlein, solitary cysts were encountered only 2 times in 1154 operations

Early diagnosis and modern therapy of bladder papillomas
Abstract
Bladder papillomas are a relatively common disease. According to Marion, 2% of all inpatients with diseases of the urinary organs suffer from papilloma. Patho-anatomically, papilloma is a benign tumor of epithelial origin, but it gives metastases and relapses and, thus, shows all signs of malignancy.
Relapses and inflammation after surgery for uterine cancer
Abstract
In the formation of a cancerous tumor, not only the hyperplastic growth of epithelial cells (for some reason) is of great importance, but also the degree of resistance of the reticuloendothelium. Ulezko-Stroganova points out that in experiments on mice, when stimulated with coal tar, not only the epithelium, but also the connective tissue reacts.
Comparative evaluation of cervical cancer treatment methods
Abstract
The female genital area, due to anatomical and physiological characteristics, is very often a place for the development of cancer. Almost a quarter of the patients who passed through the Odessa Regional X-ray Oncological Dispensary from 1/1 1930 to 31 / XII 1936 were women with genital cancer (750 patients), of which most (82.2%) suffered from cervical cancer
Immediate complications and control of cervical cancer radiation therapy.

Chloramine, when acidified with hydrochloric acid, releases about 25% of the active chlorine.
About blood transfusion for general purulent infection
Abstract
General purulent infection, according to the available literature data, does not occupy a generally recognized place among the absolute and relative indications for blood transfusion. A number of authors (Spasokukotsky, Korkhov) have received encouraging results from the application of this method. Statistics gathered from the latest literature give a 50% recovery rate when using the blood transfusion method.
To the recognition and treatment of sacroiliitis in the practice of an internist
Abstract
A significant number of patients complaining of persistent pain in the lumbosacral region, quite naturally, attracts the attention of doctors of many clinical specialties: surgeons, orthopedists, neuropathologists, gynecologists, as well as radiologists. In a strange way, only internists, judging by the literature, are rather indifferent to lesions in this area, which are often encountered in clinical and especially outpatient practice of physicians-therapists.
Diet therapy for dysentery and colic in children
Abstract
For the treatment of dysentery, there is still no generally accepted scheme, since with all the methods used, both good and bad results are obtained. Specific serum therapy still does not always give a well-established effect; the same should be said about bacteriophage therapy.
Clinic and course of dysentery in early childhood
Abstract
With the discovery of the causative agent of bacillary dysentery by Shiga and Kruse, a new era begins in the doctrine of this disease, known since ancient times. Then, laboriously and persistently, research is carried out in all countries. Soon, related microbes, Flexner, Giss, Strong, etc., were released. Later Zlatogorov's experiments showed that ordinary saprophytes, due to changes in endogenous conditions, can also be the cause of dysentery disease.
Primary sarcoma of the spleen

Nekkeles. The theory of peptic ulcer formation
Abstract
When the vagus nerve is irritated, acetylcholine is found in the venous blood flowing from the stomach. The action of acetylcholine on the stomach is manifested in vasoconstriction and a decrease in blood circulation, which made it possible to formulate a new theory of the formation of peptic ulcers. Experiments on dogs have shown that the administration of acetylcholine reduces blood circulation in the stomach by 60-96%.
Development of osteosarcoma in disease Padgets
Abstract
The authors cite two own observations of the development of osteosarcoma in patients with Paget's disease. The question of the relationship between deforming otitis media and the sarcoma developing with it is interpreted by the authors in different ways. Some authors consider this to be just a coincidence. Most argue that in such cases, it is a real sarcomatous transformation of the bone affected by Paget's disease. The authors subscribe to the latter opinion based on the following facts.
Histamine injections for obliterating endoarteritis
Abstract
The authors believe that histamine is indicated for obliterating endoarteritis due to its analgesic properties and vasomotor action. They used it in two cases of endoarteritis and got good results. The drug used was histaminum bihydrochloricum in a solution of 0.5 mg in 1 cm3

Pustular rash after fluoride
Abstract
To a group of 20 psoriatics, the author administered 0.05-0.125 g of sodium fluoride per day. 7-10 days after such treatment, a pustular rash invariably appeared. A group of 20 eczematics treated with the same treatment did not show this complication. The author suggests that psoriatic skin contains some substance, the solubility of which is influenced by a fluorine ion. The skin of psoriatics and ia iodides reacts in a similar way, partly to bromides.
