To the issue of changing forms of cellular elements in exudates of pleural cavity under various kinds of irritations
Abstract
The issue of the cellular composition of the exudates of various serous cavities has long attracted the attention of researchers, who studied the protective means by which the organism fights infection. In addition, due to anatomical conditions, abdominal and pleural cavities of animals are very convenient for experimental studies, why they have always been the favorite objects in the study of inflammation phenomena.
To the study of erythrocyte sedimentation reaction in crinopathology
Abstract
Since the discovery by R. Fahraeus, in 1916, discovered accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation in nitrated blood of pregnant women, the literature on this reaction (SR-Senkungs Reaktion) has grown rapidly, not only in pregnancy, but also in pathology in general. Comparatively little, however, its significance has been developed in crino- and psycho-neuropathology; meanwhile, available data suggest that this reaction can be used as a guideline for the further development of these branches of science, especially for the analysis of pluriglandular forms.
Experience in a comparative study of immunobiological reactions in the tbc clinic
Abstract
In recent years, tbc clinic began to make wide use of chemical and biological analyses, trying to find in them an objective assessment of the pathological processes occurring in the body. Physical examination methods alone, including radiological data, are not able to give a complete picture of the dynamics of the tbc process and be sufficient for understanding the immuno-biological essence of the disease. Experience in the application of tuberculin reactions and along with it the methods of colloid and physical chemistry is expanding day by day. The attention of researchers is rushing to the study of the colloidal structure of blood, its enzymes, as well as other physical and chemical factors that can characterize the vital processes occurring in the organism of tbc patient.
On the dietetic treatment of gastric ulcers and hyperacidic catarrhs
Abstract
Dietary treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers is currently given great importance, and quite a number of methods have been proposed for this purpose (Lehnboe, Lenhartz, Senator, Rosenfeld, Petren, Riegel, Steesma, Vasiliev, Schnabel, Zweig, Boas, Yarotsky, Sippy and others). Having no possibility to stop here on all these ways, we will touch only the diet proposed by Prof. A. I. Yarotsky. This diet, based on works of I.P. Pavlov school, is directed to change the very character of gastric secretion. Its task is not only to eliminate subjective sufferings of the patient, but also to lead him to complete cure and decrease of acidity of gastric juice (prof. Yarotsky attaches particular importance to the latter).
Obliteration or involution of the appendix?
Abstract
The question about the obliteration of the appendix is of clinical as well as theoretical interest, and it is necessary to find out whether this obliteration is the result of an inflammatory process or physiological involution of the rudimentary organ. In a significant number of the cases described (Trewes-Hartmann), the cause of the obliteration was inflammation of the appendix. The same should be said about the cases of this anomaly that we studied.
On postoperative treatment of hemorrhoids
Abstract
In recent years, the question of surgical treatment of hemorrhoids has not come down from the columns of Russian journals, and in this area still noticeable variety of opinions, and various operational modifications are put forward. Leaving the latter aside, I will only touch in this article on the postoperative treatment of hemorrhoids. If we turn to surgical manuals, operative and private, we will see that almost everywhere they recommend inserting a drainage tube, wrapped in simple or subformed gauze, into the anus and giving the patient opium after hemorrhoids surgery.
On renal tuberculosis
Abstract
Kidney tuberculosis in humans is quite frequent. For example, in the Men's Urology Department of the Obukhov Hospital (Leningrad), 153 cases of this disease have been observed over the past 14 years. According to the statistics of different authors, it can be seen that 2-3 per 100 examined cadavers could find tbc renia, and per 100 examined cadavers of phthisis, from 8 to 30 represented tbc changes of the kidneys as well. Fedorov counts 19% tbc among other surgical kidney diseases. During the first year of the existence of the Urological Department of the 3rd Soviet People's Hospital in Odessa I managed to observe only 3 cases of renal tbc, which, in relation to the total number of patients in the department (534 people), is 0.56%, and in relation to the total number of urological patients in the hospital in 1923-24 (218 people) - 1.5%. (218 people) - 1.37.
On keratoplasty
Abstract
Keratoplasty is usually divided into 1) heteroplasty and 2) homoplasty. The first one means corneal transplantation from an animal to a human. During this operation the transplant may survive, but it soon becomes cloudy. Thus, the late Professor E. Adamyuk transplanted 8 patients corneas taken from different animals (chickens, rats), and to preserve transparency of a transplant he transplanted not one cornea, but with a part of sclera; in 7 of these cases engraftment of a transplant turned out good, but it became turbid soon. Homoplasty refers to transplantation of corneae from person to person, and distinguishes between 1) transplantation of the front part of the eye, 2) partial corneal transplantation and 3) complete transplantation, when all scarred cornea is removed and replaced by a whole transparent cornea from another person.
Ectopic pregnancy after tubal implantation
Abstract
Publishing this note, I want to make a small addition to the detailed review of the issue of the blow-out of fallopian tubes, published in № 5 "Kaz. Med. J." for the current year by Dr. Bushmakina. The latter, like many other authors who have written about pertubation, does not indicate that this method, if widely used, may contribute to the frequency of ectopic pregnancy.
Excessively prolonged retention of a premature fetus in the uterine cavity
Abstract
Being interested in the question of the prolonged stay of the fetus in the uterus after the expiry of the normal term of pregnancy, I have diligently examined for several years the "Journal of Obstetrics and Women's Diseases" and other obstetrical literature at my disposal, but I have not come across a single report on the subject. For this reason I have taken the liberty of publishing in print a case I have encountered of fetal retention in utero of 15 months, which I think is of some interest.
The clinic pattern of pulmonary artery vasoconstriction in children (morbus coelius)
Abstract
"Blue disease" is not a separate nosological entity, but represents a certain syndrome accompanying congenital heart defects. Despite the fact that this disease has long been known, nevertheless, its pathogenesis has not yet been definitively established. The former authors explained various individual forms of cardiac birth defects by this syndrome, but now it has been established that "blue disease" is a collective concept and occurs, according to Barye, in septal defects and anomalies of large vessels, and according to Fallop, in simultaneous existence of pulmonary artery stenosis and non-cavitary septum as well as in non-cavitary ductus botalus.
On the incubation period in neurolues
Abstract
Speaking about syphilis lesions of the central nervous system, it is impossible not to note that these lesions are among the most severe diseases of the latter. But, on the other hand, their severity is redeemed to some extent by the specific means of combating them which we have in our hands. In this case, the fight against neurolues is reduced not so much to its treatment as to its prevention. Hence the interest with which the question of the influence of various conditions on the occurrence of syphilitic lesions of the central nervous system has recently begun to be comprehensively discussed and the exact causes which, from the general number of syphilitics, distinguish the group subsequently condemned to neurolues have been sought to be elucidated.
Case of death due to injury of the internal tithe vein
Abstract
If injuries of a. mammariae internae are rare, even more rare is the wound of venae mammariae internae as a cause of death. In the literature available to me I have not found anywhere references to such cases, therefore I consider it unnecessary to publish one such case, observed in the practice of our Office.
New views on the mechanism of action of cardiac nerves
Abstract
The antagonist nerves, which, when stimulated, produce opposite effects - inhibition or enhancement of cardiac activity, vasoconstriction or dilation, excitation or inhibition of reflexes - have long since attracted the attention of physiologists. The first attempt to explain the essence of the antagonistic action was made by Ewald Hering, who suggested that the difference in the irritation effect of antagonistic nerves depends on the difference in the processes occurring in their trunks. This idea, however, was not based on any definite data and is absolutely inconsistent with the firmly established modern ideas about the unity of the processes of excitation along the nerve.
On the toxicity of phenolphthalein
Abstract
Phenolphthalein is still used as an active ingredient of many so-called "weakly acting" laxatives, despite reasonable contraindications. The number of supporters of its use is large; therefore, it is not surprising that it is introduced in more than one hundred and twenty different laxative prescriptions. Phenolphthalein's painless, in one's opinion, action and absence of unpleasant taste were the main reasons for its wide distribution; however, when reviewing the literature on this remedy one doubts whether its prescription is really harmless or not.
To the methodology of the study of Koch's bacilli
Abstract
The author recommends using Dunkelfeld for this purpose. According to his observations: 1) in a darkened field it is easier to find bacilli, especially when their quantity is scanty; 2) the contrast coloring not only does not hide bacilli, but also makes it possible to see other components of sputum; 3) examination in Dunkelfeld is technically simple and accessible to every physician. The examination of stools and urine for bacilli of Coschus is carried out according to the same principle.
Hematogenic generalization of tbc
Abstract
The author cites a rare case of tuberculosis of the cheek, upper lip and gingiva in an adult patient with simultaneous tbc of the lungs, larynx and intestines. The author interprets this case as a case of generalization of the tbc process in a hematogenous way, which occurred after a number of unfavorable moments (starvation, gypsy).
Surgical treatment of bilateral lung tbc
Abstract
The authors use pneumothorax on the more affected side and phrenisectomy on the other side in bilateral lung tbc. In cases where the lesions are symmetrically located, phrenisectomy is better used on the side that seems clinically and radiographically more prone to sclerosis, while pneumothorax is used on the side with the cavern.
Bilateral pneumothorax in tbc lungs
Abstract
Studying the results of tbc treatment with bilateral pneumothorax, the author came to the conclusion that simultaneous performance of artificial pneumothorax on both sides is undesirable. It is more advantageous to perform this operation first on one side and then on the other.
Perfect stump thorax
Abstract
Discussing the issue of an ideal pneumothorax, the authors state that a pneumothorax with collapsing of the affected part of the lung and manometrial pressure not exceeding O is not inferior to a total pneumothorax in its therapeutic effect.
On traumatic diabetes
Abstract
The authors find no incontrovertible experimental or clinical evidence that any lesion can cause true diabetes. What is certain is that extrainsular glycosuria can arise from severe bodily or mental trauma. Likewise, every bodily or mental trauma can worsen existing diabetes and therefore make hidden diabetes visible.
On the subject of the breast toad
Abstract
In his lecture on breastfeeding, Prof. F. Külbs summarizes the present state of the doctrine of it as follows: The main symptoms of the disease are constriction of the heart accompanied by fear of death and pain, spreading to the shoulders, arms, throat and chin, or epigastrium and genitals; the trigger for the seizure is: bodily tension, mental excitement, wind, cold, overfilling of the stomach, severe diseases of the female genitalia, but sometimes the seizure appears without any occasion at night; the anatomical lining is degenerative or inflammatory (lues) changes in the venous vessels or the ascending aorta, in an acute course, often a venous embolism; duration of the mild seizures-a few seconds, medium ones-from several minutes to ½ hour, and severe ones to 2 days.
To the pathology of the thoracic toad
Abstract
The author sees the thoracic attack as a consequence of left ventricular weakness, which is the first stage of insufficiency. In such weakness, a sudden increase in resistance in the peripheral circulation or a sudden increase in blood flow to the heart, moments that increase the work of the latter, can cause an increase in the residual blood in the left ventricle, its distension and an increase in intraventricular pressure.
Phrenicus-phenomenon
Abstract
In 25 cases tested on the operating table, the author could state phrenicus-phenomenon (the presence of a painful point between the legs of m. sternocleidomastodei) in 80%. The presence of this symptom indicates, according to the author, not only the presence of cholecystitis, but also the presence of stones.
Treatment of pulmonary bleeding
Abstract
According to H. Grau, rest in bed is absolutely necessary for mild hemoptysis. Medical examination during pulmonary hemorrhage is, of course, unacceptable. When bleeding from the lower or middle lobes of the lung, lying on the back acts unfavorably. The drugs acting locally or through constriction of vessels should not be used in case of pulmonary bleeding, as well as morphine should be avoided as much as possible.
Bromine against hay fever
Abstract
Usually it is enough to take 1.0 of sodium bromide in the morning and in the evening, especially good helps here sedobrol, a pellet in ½ cup of hot water, also twice a day. Action comes sometimes very quickly, on the next day, sometimes only 2-3 days later, and in some cases it is weak, or does not occur. In any case, the treatment should be continued for at least a week.
Pyramidon against hiccups
Abstract
According to Schottmüller'y a tablet of 0.3 or 0.5 pyramidon, when given at the beginning of an attack of hiccups, usually breaks the latter. When the hiccups resume the remedy is repeated, and, according to the author, 5 or more times 0.5 pyramidone can be given in a day without harm.
Brain removal from tubular bones as a remedy for malignant anemia
Abstract
The operation is technically simple and requires only a few minutes; it is performed under ethyl chloride and local anesthesia, at every stage of the disease. It is often followed by a dramatic strengthening of the body, and remedies that had not helped before, such as arsenic, begin to work again.
To the treatment of paronychia
Abstract
The author recommends treating paronychia, according to Denks, with a gray mercury ointment, which is applied to a flap of cloth as thick as the back of a knife, and this flap is wrapped around the sore finger, whether there is only redness or whether a purulent blister has already appeared. The bandage is left on the finger for 8 days.
Long-term results of breast amputations for cancer
Abstract
From 374 cases of breast cancer observed during 1915-1925, the authors could trace 139 cases operated on by amputation of the breasts. The more malignant the disease was, the younger the patient was. Duration of time between cancer detection and surgery was 6 months.
Ramisectio (ramicotomia cervicalis)
Abstract
Studies have shown that irritations, in the form of electrifying and tingling, of the rami communicantes cause the following phenomena in humans: C2 and C3 - painful sensations at the ear and mandibular teeth, rhythmic contraction and expansion of the pupils accompanied by protrusion and retraction of the eyeball, C7 - sharp pain in the hand, C8 - pain in the lower corner of the scapula. Irritation of the upper pole of the ganglion stellatum causes very sharp pain in the arm, irritation of the lower pole of the same ganglion causes pain in the atrial region.
Ichthyol ointment after eye surgery
Abstract
In order to prevent adhesion of eyelid margins after operations on the eyeball the author recommends using a dressing with ichthyol ointment (1 part ichthiol, 2 parts vaseline). Such dressing protects the conjunctival sac from tight closure and prevents accumulation of secret in it on the one hand, and on the other hand allows avoiding pressure on the eyeball and stretching of the adhered wound edges when changing the dressing.
To the use of glaucosan
Abstract
Wegner experimented with glaucosan in simple glaucoma (13 cases), absolute (2 cases), hydrophthalmia (2 cases), glaucomatous iritis (6 cases) and iris lesion (35 cases). ), and it turned out that a good result from subconjunctival glaucozan injections is obtained in those untreated cases of simple glaucoma, where the intraocular pressure fluctuates near the upper limit of normal, where eserine and pilocarpine do not reach the target; in contrast, in absolute glaucoma and hydrophthalmia its use is futile.
Iodine in eye diseases
Abstract
Prof. zur Nedden has been practicing for about three years in diseases of the eyes the external application of poda in the form of a solution (1:1000 with the addition of 10.0 potassium iodide), or ointment (jodi purl 0.1, vaselini 20.0). Iodotherapy has a twofold purpose: 1) destruction of microbes, 2) excitation of inflammatory hyperemia.
To recognition of rupture of the membranes during childbirth
Abstract
The author recommends testing the reaction of the vaginal secretion with litmus: before the rupture of the fetus bladder, the reaction is acidic in the vast majority of cases (147 out of 152 cases), but it is always alkaline after the rupture.
Hormonal causes of breast growth
Abstract
The author observed in parabiosis of a young rat with a pregnant rat a hyperplasia of the mamma gland in the former to such an extent that it reached the size of the mamma gland of the pregnant rat during heat. During parabiosis of castrated animals with pregnant animals, the author observed that the mamma, which had undergone strong inverse development in castrated animals, remained the same when combined with pregnant rats.
Effect of osept drug on milk secretion
Abstract
Ocenta consists of pituitary gland and placenta extracts, vitamins, organic and inorganic compounds of phosphorus, calcium and iron, hemoglobin, soluble protein and carbohydrates. The drug is given 3 times a day with a teaspoon in milk.
Indications for abortion
Abstract
From the medical point of view, the author divides these indications into three groups: 1) absolute indications, which include diseases that unconditionally threaten the life of the mother (nephritis of pregnant women, uncontrollable vomiting, pernicious anemia, etc.); 2) relative indications, which include diseases that may worsen during pregnancy (e.g., tbc); 3) social or eugenetic indications.
Statistical data on narrow pelvises in white and black women
Abstract
For 6,407 births in white women and 5,223 births in black women, the authors observed 3,100 cases of pelvic constriction in the Michaelis and Litzmann sense, with 577 cases referring to a funnel-shaped pelvis with a diameter between tubera ischii of 8 centimeters or less. The generalized pelvis is four times more common in Negro women. They have rickets 18.5 times more often than whites. The funnel-shaped form of pelvic constriction is equally characteristic of both.
Treatment of chronic gonorrhea in women with malaria vaccine
Abstract
Based on casual observations of the good course of chronic gonorrhea in syphilitic patients treated with malaria vaccine, the author tried the vaccine in 68 women and 5 men suffering from chronic gonorrhea, which could not be treated with the usual methods. In 78%, there was a complete cure (verified by various provocation methods).
Amenorrhea as a result of syphilitic affection of the hormone glands
Abstract
A 32-year-old woman with signs of gummosis syphilis, infected 15 years ago, underwent 1 course of specific treatment at the beginning of the disease. Five years after that she delivered a stillborn fetus. Menstruation was normal before delivery, after delivery amenorrhea for 10 years; in addition, alopecia and hypoplasia of external genitalia were observed.
About dizziness
Abstract
According to E. Meyer, vertigo is always vestibular, with the vestibulum affected either directly or indirectly. The feeling of vertigo is composed of motor and sensory components (nausea, wistfulness, flickering in the eyes, tinnitus, sweat, etc.).
A new painkiller and sleeping pill - allonal
Abstract
This remedy, which is a combination of allylisopropyl barbituric acid with amidopyrine, deserves to be widely used for pain and insomnia, especially for pain-dependent insomnia. It is given by 1-2 or more tablets per reception, in hot tea or water.
Treatment of acute encephalitis
Abstract
The author obtained very good results in this disease from intravenous injections of 8.0 pro injections of urotropine and pro die. The results are even better if intravenous injections of salvarsan and careful protein therapy are added to urotropine injections.
Treatment of spinal syphilis and spinal sinusitis with malaria vaccines
Abstract
The authors have seen that some seizures improve with this treatment, but sometimes no results are seen at all. This treatment is dangerous because of its effect on the circulatory system, so from the 2nd or 3rd seizure it is recommended to resort to exciters (cardiazole, camphor, lexetone, coffein, etc.), but not to foxglove, because of the danger of severe bradycardia during subsequent treatment with quinine; from the 4th seizure the fever is removed or weakened with quinine. The patient may be given a total of 10 to 19 attacks.
Is the incidence of syphilis decreasing?
Abstract
Having collected data from 50 venereologists in Europe, the author found a sharp decrease in the incidence of syphilis everywhere; only Russia and France remain in doubt. The decrease of syphilis must be attributed primarily to the introduction of salvarsan.
RW in maternity milk
Abstract
According to Rottmann and Franken, the Wassermann reaction in the milk of lactating women gives quite suitable indications for diagnosis. However, it is positive only in the first days after delivery, when the milk still contains colostrum.
State of the autonomic nervous system in eczema
Abstract
The authors studied pharmacodynamically the state of the autonomic nervous system in 43 eczematous patients and found that it was normal in only 6 (13.9%). Of the 37 patients in whom autonomic innervation disorders were found, 4 (9.3%) reacted as sympathicotonic, 8 (18.6%) as vagotonic, in 25 (58.1%) a mixed form (sympathic-vagotonia) with predominance of vagotonic symptoms was observed.
Urotropin in dermatology
Abstract
Introduced into therapy in 1894 by Nicolaier, urotropine is now widely used in various fields of practical medicine. Rendjet tested its action in various skin diseases (erythema, urticaria, purpura, eczema, erythroderma, bullous and ulcerative dermatitis, folliculitis, trichophytosis, urticaria and strophul. infant.)
Anatomical and physiological foundations of physical culture of the human body
Abstract
Physical culture, which has taken deep roots in our Union in recent years, brings forward the task of scientific substantiation of its methods and bringing knowledge of human anatomy and physiology closer to the general population. This small book, popularly compiled by Prof. N.K. Lysenkov and E.I. Sinelnikov, is intended to fulfill the second task. Written for instructors in physical education, the book contains, in addition to a brief introduction, nine chapters. Some of them, according to the purposes pursued by the authors, are presented quite fully, while others are too concisely.
Scientific and medical control of physical development
Abstract
Although the literature on Soviet physical education already includes several solid books on the methods and techniques of medical control of physical exercisers, we cannot but welcome this brochure by Dr. I. It, unlike other works, has in mind not only or, more correctly, not so much a doctor or a highly qualified instructor, as the average physical exerciser himself. From this point of view, it would probably be better to entitle the book with a simpler title, for example: "Medical Control of Physical Development.
Theory and practice of physical culture
Abstract
Before us are the first three issues of the journal for 1927. Each issue consists of several sections: original articles, reports of scientific meetings on physical education and sports in the USSR and abroad, as well as reviews and abstracts of domestic and foreign literature. The journal is devoted, as indicated on its title page, to the scientific development of questions of physical education, physical education and medical control of physical development.
I All-Ukrainian Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in Kiev
Abstract
In Ukraine, with its ethnographic and natural-living peculiarities, many problems have arisen concerning the organization of obstetric care, the state of which has become extremely shaky over the last decade. Hence the need to convene a Congress of obstetricians working in Ukraine. The programmatic issues of the Congress included questions of partly scientific, partly organizational, and partly scientific nature. One of the peculiarities of this Congress is that the program topics were discussed not only by medical specialists, but also by representatives of the administration, which gave a special, businesslike character to the Congress and will undoubtedly contribute to the implementation of the planned activities.
Society of Physicians at Kazan University
Abstract
Prof. Weygandt (Hamburg): Treatment of progressive paralysis with malaria and relapsing fever. At the present time, when the treatment of progressive paralysis with typhoid and malaria is being widely practiced, it is difficult to say anything new on this subject. The experience of the Hamburg Clinic, in which the reporter is in charge, embraces the material of about 800 paralytic patients - a number which, with the exception of the Vienna Clinic, no other institution has, which is why Prof. W. feels it appropriate to share this experience.
Scientific Meetings of Physicians of the V.I. Lenin Kazan State Institute for Advanced Training of Physicians
Abstract
Dr. B. A. Ostroumov: A case of left-sided position of the large intestine. Noting the rarity of such an anomaly explained by the conditions of intestinal development in the embryonic period, the speaker demonstrated a patient who had undergone surgery for appendicitis, and on opening the abdominal cavity no large intestine was found in the right side of the abdomen. X-ray examination after the operation revealed the left-sided position of the latter.
Questions and answers
Abstract
Please don't refuse to report technique of determination of hydrogen number in distilled water both before washing with it for reaction Wasserman:a and after washing, and also in physiological solution of sodium chloride 0,85%. Answer: The hydrogen number (Ph) of any solution, regardless of its composition, is determined equally-either electrometrically or colorimetrically. The latter method, colorimetric, is much easier, faster and does not require any special facilities other than a set of standard indicator solutions.
