The professional fate of trauma neurotics
Abstract
Despite a huge literature on traumoneurosis, there is one issue that has been relatively little covered so far: this is the question about the professional fate of traumoneurotic patients, about the dynamics of their ability to work, about their movements from one type of work to another. This article is devoted to this question.
Experience in evaluating the dust factor by analyzing occupational pathology material
Abstract
Scientifically based establishment of hygienically permissible concentrations of dust is possible only on the basis of comparison of air dustiness and health condition of the relevant group of workers. With the exception of a large work by Magrоverdate, based on extensive material, we know of almost no attempts to approach the question from such a point of view. It therefore seemed advisable to make observations on workers in certain occupations exposed to more or less constant concentrations of dust.
Project of the structure and work of the sanitary-technical propaganda base: sanitary culture house (central and district) for the autonomous republic, territory, region and district
Abstract
According to the directives of the State Planning Committee, People's Commissariat for Health Care and special resolutions of the Soviet government, it was planned to create in the second five-year plan in each regional center-central (regional), and in all district centers and large enterprises - district houses of sanitary culture - bases of sanitary technical propaganda for management of sanitary and cultural and mass work for mobilization of the workers' amateurism at the health care front.
History and internal picture of the disease
Abstract
The main task of the general practitioner, especially in our era of building a new socialist society, is to recognize diseases of the internal organs as early as possible, when one can practically count on recovery and full restoration of a person's ability to work. If we exclude acute illnesses, the majority of patients with early forms of disease are those millions of workers who pass through outpatient clinics, polyclinics and dispensaries and who are relatively rarely admitted to hospitals not only for treatment but, most importantly, for the timely establishment of correct disease recognition.
Mitogenetic radiation in the blood of cancer patients and healthy people
Abstract
Study of mitogenetic rays now occupies not only biologists and physicists, but also chemists, pathologists, clinicians, etc. The issue of mitogenetic radiation is thoroughly covered in a monographic work by the author of the radiation phenomenon Prof. A.G. Gurvich himself. Here we do not aim at a critical analysis of Prof. Gurvich's theoretical views in connection with the problem of mitogenetic radiation, which was done by Zolotov in the journal "For Marxist-Leninist Natural Science" 1932, No 5-6; we only emphasize that in the problem of mitogenetic radiation the works on blood emanation occupy a significant place, which is also the topic of this report, based on experiments with the blood of cancer and sarcomatosis patients and healthy people.
On the homoorganic action of lysates
Abstract
In lysate therapy, one of the most underdeveloped issues is the question of which lysates act on a given disease. Usually in the practice of lysate therapy, it is assumed that lysates act on homologous organs, so we try to find out the affected organs and prescribe lysates accordingly.
On the treatment of sullem poisoning with bismuth
Abstract
Professor S.S. Zimnitsky in his lectures on cardiac and renal diseases (1927 edition) mentions a specific method of treatment of bismuth sulm poisoning. Under my observation there were 2 patients treated with bismuth successfully. The case histories are of interest, besides the bismuth treatment, also for their clinical course.
Surgical treatment of high-lying rectal neoplasms
Abstract
Currently, the dominant surgical interventions for high-lying rectal neoplasms are intraperitoneal and sacral methods. The latter methods, which are well established, have a great statistical record both in our Union and among surgeons in the West and America. However, we cannot say that we are completely satisfied with these methods: peritoneal-sacral method has a high mortality rate (47%), sacral method has less mortality but is also not without shadows. In the following lines we intend to describe the method applied by us on May 5, 1933, in case of high colon cancer of the patient M. Shchetinina, 39 years old.
To the casuistry of the "blood vessels" suture
Abstract
The operation of vascular suture is so far a rare operation especially on some vessels. This in turn is the reason of our little experience and difficulty, based on the small available material, to establish the exact limits of indications for vascular suture operation and find out its advantages over vascular ligation.
Prolan and folliculin
Abstract
Removal of the anterior pituitary gland by extirpation, an operation considered impossible for a long time due to the special anatomical position of this gland, along with disturbed growth and metabolism, leads to a number of profound changes in the sexual apparatus: heat ceases, atrophy of the sexual apparatus takes place and, as a secondary phenomenon, the sexual instinct weakens. The opposite is observed when a small piece of the pituitary gland is transplanted. If the pituitary gland is transplanted to a non-mature animal, rapid puberty ensues, the ovaries enlarge, the follicles mature, which burst, giving rise to the formation of yellow bodies, with all the secondary phenomena in the sexual apparatus: uterine hypertrophy, the phenomenon of uterine heat from the vagina, etc.
Diseases of the digestive system
Abstract
In the preface to his book, Prof. R.A. Luria writes: "Diseases of the digestive organs are undoubtedly the most frequent diseases with which the therapist has to deal. It is impossible not to agree with this, as well as with the idea that this area of internal medicine is the least familiar to a wide range of physicians.
Experimental studies of the child's higher nervous activity
Abstract
The State Research Institute of Sanitation and Hygiene of Children and Adolescents (OZD and P) of the NKZ RSFSR published in 1933 a number of collections, which are all of great interest and testify to the vigorously developed and highly placed scientific work of the Institute.
Effect of diet on the Ca and Ph content of breastfeeding mother's milk
Abstract
The author, referring to the close relationship of Ca and Ph in metabolism and changes in its content under various pathological conditions (rickets, spasmophilia), set out to study changes in the amount of Ca and Ph in mother's milk, depending on its increased and decreased content in the received food ration.
On catechins
Abstract
Blum distinguishes in opposition to hormones, which are in the body excitatory effective substances (Treibstoffe), catechins-Bremsstoffe-or "inhibitory substances" (from the Greek word-contain in known limits), whose role is to prevent the increased activity (Ueberwirkung) of hormones, or to soften and modify their action.
Isolated ankle fractures, transkle fractures (Malgene fractures), Dupuytren and Desto fractures and their treatment
Abstract
On the basis of 136 cases of fractures of the ankle bones which passed through the Leningrad Traumatology Institute, the authors analyze all types occurring in this joint (ankle fractures-71 cases; transkle fractures-16 cases; Dupuytren fractures-31 cases and Desto fractures-18 cases).
The ATSR Regional Scientific-Medical Association. Psychoneurological Section. Meeting of December 21, 1933
Abstract
Popov N.I. and Badiul P.A.-On the patency of the blood-brain barrier in epid. encephalitis and multiple sclerosis. Observation of 9 cases of E. E. and 5 cases of multiple sclerosis. In all 9 cases of post-encephalitic parkinsonism, regardless of the age of the case and severity of the clinical picture, barrier permeability was negligible.
The ATSR Regional Scientific-Medical Association. Psychoneurological Section. Meeting of November 28, 1933.
Abstract
I. I. Rusetsky and N. I. Popov. Teaching about the role of the autonomic nervous system in sciatica. The following data were obtained in the study of 25 patients. At iliac sacral sciatica on the diseased leg, as the disease progresses, the skin t° changes from hypothermia to hyperthermia (in comparison with a healthy limb). Long-lasting hypothermia has been observed in cases of truncular sciatica.
Albert Calmette (1863-1933) and the tuberculosis problem
Abstract
Calmette was gone; the man whose name had been associated with the hopes of solving the tuberculosis problem for the past 10 years was gone - all of a sudden, all of a sudden. It was hard to imagine that a man who dared to engage the enemy, who on his shield counted more than a hundred million human lives and dozens of brave scientists among them, was already at an age when one is more willing to look back on the road traveled than on the remaining one.
Chronicle
Abstract
The All-Ukrainian Bacteriological Institute is developing with successful results the question of protective vaccinations against typhus. A number of experiments performed on guinea pigs showed that guinea pig infected with typhus passerine virus and having suffered the disease is immune to subsequent infection with the blood of a typhus-typhoid patient. On the other hand, guinea pig infected with the blood of a typhoid patient and having survived the disease appears immune to infection with the guinea pig passage virus.
To the problem of peptic ulcer disease and duodenum
Abstract
In spite of the fact that exactly one hundred years have passed since Cruveilhier described with inimitable for those times clarity the clinical picture and anatomical substrate of peptic ulcer, the interest to this mysterious disease not only has not weakened, but has considerably revived in recent years. Therapists and surgeons, pathophysiologists and radiologists are equally interested in the problem of peptic ulcer and compete in solving two main, closely related problems - the question of pathogenesis and the question of rational treatment of peptic ulcers.
On the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer
Abstract
Вопрос о патогенезе язвы желудка, несмотря на тщательное изучение его, особенно в течение последних двух десятилетий, до сих пор не может считаться решенным. Существующие теории происхождения язвы желудка, которые в основном, как известно, сводятся к функциональной сосудистой теории (v. Bergmann, Hauser), к теории пептического происхождения язвы (Aschoff, Büchner) и к воспалительной теории (Konjetznу) конкурируют между собою; каждая из них имеет своих сторонников, но ни одна из них до настоящего времени не является общепризнанной в качестве единственной теории происхождения язвы.
Gastric and 12 duodenal ulcer from a surgical point of view
Abstract
To put the question of gastric and duodenal ulcer from the surgical point of view means to decide more or less definitely whether a gastric and duodenal ulcer at the present stage of our knowledge of this painful form can be treated surgically and what are the indications for surgical treatment; it means to decide the choice of this or that method of surgical treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers, proceeding in this question based on past experience covered by modern scientific data.
To the clinic of perforative peptic ulcer
Abstract
Perforative gastric ulcer, which used to be a relative rarity 15-20 years ago, nowadays becomes more and more frequent in surgeon's work. To confirm this it is enough to point out that the number of cases of perforated peptic ulcer published in the Russian literature alone exceeds well over 1000, and almost every day this figure is increasing.
Treatment of hyperacidic gastritis and gastric ulcers by pumping out gastric contents
Abstract
Analysis of the methods of treatment of hyperacid gastritis and peptic ulcers suggested so far shows that, for all the diversity and inconsistency of modern theories of ulcer etiology and pathogenesis, most methods still seek to reduce acidity and excessive secretion. This seeming contradiction between the homogeneity of therapeutic aspirations and the fundamental differences regarding etiology and pathogenesis is explained by the role that increased acidity and secretion play in the clinic of ulcers and gastritis.
On the chlorine metabolism of the body and the therapeutic value of gastric juice withdrawal
Abstract
Since the time of Voit, we know that for the balance of life, mineral salts, including table salt, are as necessary to the body as proteins, carbohydrates, fats and water. According to Magnus-Lev, the total amount of salt in an adult is 150.0 g., with a daily requirement of 6.0-8.0 g. The distribution of NaCl in various organs and tissues is uneven; most of it is contained in the blood and subcutaneous tissue. Salt fluctuations in organs and tissues normally occur within narrow limits.
Radiotherapy for gastric ulcers in the light of radiobiology and clinical data
Abstract
In spite of the fact that already in 1913 the first quite successful attempts were made to treat gastric ulcers with X-rays (Kodo) and to influence the secretion and acidity of gastric juice with the help of illumination (Brügel, 1916), the clinic has not yet shown sufficient interest in the use of X-rays in the treatment of ulcers and their complications. Some clinicians still believe that only malignant neoplasms are treated with X-rays, and only those that are rejected by surgeons.
X-ray diagnosis of peptic ulcer
Abstract
If in questions of inflammatory changes in the stomach the decisive word belongs to the X-ray conclusion, if it corresponds to the modern ideas about this suffering, then the X-ray method of investigation plays no less important role for the diagnosis of ulcerous lesions of the stomach and 12 duodenum.
X-ray diagnosis of the operated stomach
Abstract
The complex problem of the operated stomach has recently attracted more and more attention of therapists, surgeons and radiologists. Systematic X-ray examination of the stomach, after surgery, gives us the opportunity to study its shape and function, allows us to judge the success of the operation, as well as to recognize timely postoperative complications and recurrence of diseases, requiring in some cases urgent secondary surgical intervention, and in other cases - prevention of unnecessary secondary surgery.
To the problem of schizophrenia
Abstract
This book is a collection of papers from the Moscow City Neuropsychiatric Institute. The centerpiece of the collection is Brukhansky's article: "Toward a Theory of Schizophrenia," in which the author tries to substantiate his understanding of Bleuler-Krechmer schizophrenia as "developmental schizophrenia," in contrast to the heterogeneous organic processes, as an independent form of illness, with "bodily perceptible" symptomatology.
Treatment of schizophrenia with insulin shock
Abstract
Berze concludes that the treatment of known cases of schizophrenia with insulin can be considered indicative. Berze finds the systematic treatment of schizophrenia by insulin shock suggested by Sackel, which consists in provoking by single large doses of insulin deep hypoglycemia, accompanied by very severe phenomena of shock, which are unsafe for the health of patients and, in the event, can lead to death, strictly contraindicated.
On the role and significance of the biogenetic method for the neuropsychological sciences
Abstract
The author proves, based on a number of facts from his personal experience of using the biogenetic method in his neuropathological and psychiatric works, that the biogenetic method is a very valuable research method in the spirit of Marxist-Leninist methodology, and therefore its use in the neuropsychological sciences should be considered fruitful and should be cultivated here and in the future.
Ueber Familienähnlichkeit der Hirnfurchen und Windungen
Abstract
The author compares morphologically the brains of the brothers Vladimir and Nikolai Bekhterev, with 120 morphological features used for comparison. 47.5% of the features were found to be similar in the brothers, which suggests familial similarity of the brain, homolateral in 32.5°/o and contralateral in 15% of the similar features.
Pneumocephalus corticalis und Diabetes insipidus traumaticus
Abstract
The author gives a description of the course of the disease in two cases of frontal bone fracture with opening of the frontal sinus. In the first case, a subdural pneumocephalus developed immediately after injury, which resorbed within 17 days without intervention and gave no morbid phenomena. In the second case, it came to cortical pneumocephalus infection, which healed after surgical dissection and drainage.
New in neuropathology
Abstract
The author sees the progress of neuropathology in the fact that in the clinic we are seeing more and more so-called atypical cases. New, more subtle and improved methods of examination make it possible to make a correct diagnosis where the disease is far from being defined as such, and the main symptoms characteristic of the disease are absent.
Serotherapy for peritonitis
Abstract
The authors reviewed 170 cases of peritonitis serotherapy with a fatal outcome in 18 cases (10.5%). To use serotherapy successfully, polyvalent serum of Escherichia coli, enterococci, and streptococci most commonly encountered in peritonitis should be prepared.
Intra-abdominal infusion of table salt for clean perforations
Abstract
The author, proceeding from the therapeutic effect of large abdominal infusions in peritonitis with the prophylactic purpose of strengthening peritoneal resorption and the simplest and most expedient way of fluid delivery in all large peritomies (clean and unclean), injected from 1 to 3 liters of physiol solution of sodium salt into the abdominal cavity.
On resection of deep duodenal ulcers
Abstract
The author recommends dissecting the anterior wall of the 12 duodenal ulcer, resecting the crater of the ulcer and then performing atypical closure of the duodenal stump followed by peritonization of the stump with the pancreas and the apex of the omentum.
On total gastric resection
Abstract
Up to now about 70 cases of total gastric resection (T.R.G.) have been described. The operative mortality rate is 53% on the average. The author has lost out of 10 patients out of 7. Therefore, it is clear that further fate of people after T.R.G. is little known.
The effect of cancer on blood pressure
Abstract
Cancer patients have lower blood pressure than healthy patients or those who have recovered. If therapy is successful, the blood pressure rises by an average of 15 mm Hg and remains elevated. If the process spreads further, the blood pressure remains low or still rises.
Study of inulin digestion
Abstract
Inulinase, the enzyme that breaks down inulin, is known to be absent in the gastrointestinal canal; however, according to the authors' studies, inulin is well assimilated. As a result of these experiments it was found that 0.2% solution of hydrochloric acid for 4 hours almost completely hydrolyzes inulin, converting it into fructose, while gastric juice - only to 15-20%, and do not split preudenal at all.
Notes on parasitism in gynecology
Abstract
The author describes the following case. A 6-year-old girl. She was brought to an appointment for deaf-mutism, which occurred after a blow to the head. In addition, the girl has worms (oxyuria) and vulvovaginitis. Anthelmintics and sulfur enemas were prescribed. The treatment gave excellent results: after 8 days the vulvovaginitis was gone, and the worms were excreted in large quantities.
