To the anatomy of the n. phrenici
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe several cases of anastomoses of the n. phrenici with sympathetic and with spinal nerves, which anastomoses explain the sensitive nature of the diaphragmatic nerve, which for a long time was considered to be a pure-motor nerve of the thoracic abdominal barrier.
Consideration of historical memento for the evolution of endocrinotherapy
Abstract
The history of organotherapy is as old as human history, but some stages of its transition to the rational-scientific basis are of great interest for modern evolution of organotherapy as well. It is especially timely to recall now the almost forgotten works of our compatriots, Prof. A.V. Pel and Prof. I.R. Tarkhanov, concerning the relationship between radio- and radiotherapy and organotherapy and the possibility to strengthen the hormone therapy effect of organ drugs by their radioactivation.
To the semiotics of aortic stenosis
Abstract
Aortic stenosis, in particular its pure form, not combined with aortic valve insufficiency, is the rarest of extrauterine heart defects, so rare that, as Prof. S.S. Zimnitsky points out, in some authors' statistics "this defect does not appear at all". Indeed, in Schnitt's statistics, as well as in Guttmann's statistics cited by Killbs, and in Killbs' own statistics, stenosis ostii aortae is completely silent. Hirschfeider found this defect in only 3% of all his cases, and always in combination with aortic insufficiency. Gerhardt reported this defect 19 times out of 300 cases.
About alkaline reserve (reserve alkalinity) in kidney disease
Abstract
The body has a complex regulatory mechanism to maintain its acid-base balance. The blood reaction, shifted somewhat to the alkaline side, fluctuates within very narrow limits. Even with increased production of acidic metabolic products, the deviation from the normal fluctuations of this individually constant value either does not occur at all or is very insignificant. A stronger deviation of blood Ph to one side or the other is incompatible with life.
On the mode of action of high voltage currents (static electricity and currents of d'Arsonval)
Abstract
From the point of view of the electron theory, static electricity should be understood as a certain mass of electrons concentrating in a certain place and thus having a certain effect on the environment; this is what distinguishes it from galvanic and alternating electricity, where the electrons are constantly in motion. Another important difference between it and these currents is that it has a high voltage.
Radical operation of inguinal hernia by the method of Prof. I. A. Praxin
Abstract
Anatomical conditions play an important role in the results of any operation, including herniotomy. On the other hand, however, we see that whatever these conditions may be, the imperfection of some methods, e.g., the same Bascini method, remains unchanged. The frequent complaints of operated patients about heaviness in the groin, pain in the testicular and spermatic cord after operations performed lege artis according to this method convince us of this. All this prompts us to turn surgeons' attention to the method of inguinal hernia surgery, once proposed by the late Prof. I.A. Praxin, a method based on the idea of meeting all the requirements of anatomy and physiology, imitating nature itself in detail.
On the issue of varicose veins of the lower extremity
Abstract
Варикозное расширение вен нижних конечностей относится к циклу тех распространенных заболеваний, которые с трудом поддаются как консервативному лечению, так и оперативному воздействию. Указанное заболевание, причиняя больным тяжкие страдания, лишая их работоспособности и не давая надежды на быстрое и стойкое восстановление потерянных жизненных сил, несмотря на большую давность в истории развития хирургии, еще и по настоящее время не располагает точно разрешенными, обоснованными методами лечения. Обстоятельства эти и послужили для меня стимулом к проработке 124 случаев, прошедших за последние 5 лет в заведываемом мною хирургическом отделении Рабочей больницы Донбасса (г. Артемовск).
To the teaching of xerosis conjunctivae essentialis
Abstract
Recently, a number of experimental and clinical studies on the etiology of Chego-phtalmiae essentialis have appeared in the foreign literature. In view of the importance of this question from both theoretical and practical points of view, especially for us oculists working in areas affected by trachoma, we will allow ourselves to share some observations in this field.
Some experimental data on ureteral ligation
Abstract
If some issues of modern operative gynecology can be referred to the group of borderline areas with surgery, it should be particularly said about ureteral surgery. In itself, such an uncomplicated organ as the ureter requires a highly diverse range of surgeries. Many of them are entirely the domain of surgery, and only as an exception can be found in the practice of a gynecologist, e.g. operations on ureteral stones. But as for ureteral ligation, it seems fair to say that this issue is most of all in the competence of gynecologists. Even in such a solid work as "Surgery of kidneys and ureters" by Prof. Fedorov, almost no attention is paid to this question. As we can see, surgeons had no reason to take up the issue of ureteral ligation in detail, and, on the contrary, this issue becomes particularly acute for gynecologists.
Experiments with hypnosis in obstetrics and gynecology
Abstract
Recently, in the medical literature, both Russian and foreign, more and more reports began to appear on the use for pain relief, as well as for the treatment of various diseases, hypno-suggestionin, a remedy that is far from new, but, due to some circumstances, for a long time forgotten and little researched both experimentally and clinically.
As you know, in the old days, hypnotism was shrouded in a mystical veil, it was in the hands of the majority of ignorant people who had nothing to do with science, and it was considered simply frivolous to engage in it. Subsequently, however, thanks to the research of such prominent representatives of psychiatry as Braid, Liébault, In eau ni, Bernheim, Moll, Forel and many others. others, as well as experimental work of Russian scientists, academicians I. P. Pavlov and V. M. Bekhterev, prof. V. Ya. Danilevsky and others, hypnotism was finally taken out of the limits of mysticism and, having received physiological substantiations, firmly embarked on a broad scientific path.
Observations on Schick's reaction in scarlet and measles patients
Abstract
In the present report we cite the results we obtained by examination of scarlatina and measles patients in 1924 and 1926 at the Contagious Hospital of the Tatnarkomzdrav for the years 1924 and 1926. Such examination of infectious patients for susceptibility to diphtheria is necessary because of comparative frequency of simultaneous disease of scarlatina and diphtheria and ease of joining of diphtheria to scarlatina as well as severity of course of diphtheria observed in measles patients.
Female sexual reflexes
Abstract
Adhering here, as before, to the point of view that the concept of reflex in neurology and neuropathology should not, mainly for practical reasons, be extended to all phenomena of neuro-psychic life, we will consider here only those phenomena in the sexual sphere of women, which by their nature really correspond to the basic concept of reflex, which consists in transferring irritation from the sensory to the motor neuron. Reflexes of the female sexual sphere stand mainly in connection with the processes of sexual intercourse, pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
On fungal diseases of the scalp
Abstract
In recent years fungal diseases of the scalp have grown considerably all over our Union, with Ukraine being particularly affected: recently there has been a real epidemic of trichophytosis and favus. Our city and district are not lagging behind in this aspect: for the period from May 1, 1924 to September 1, 1925, 870 patients have passed through my office with these illnesses.
Problems and methods of modern psychiatry
Abstract
The time is not far off when all psychic phenomena were explained only as manifestations of an immortal soul independent of the body. The time was not yet far off when mental illness was looked upon as the result of an evil spirit having taken possession of the patient's soul, and the treatment of mental illness was reduced to the expulsion of this evil spirit by prayers and incantations. The psychiatrists were then clergymen, and the places of treatment of mental illness were monasteries. Where treatment failed, there was only one way to get rid of the evil spirit - to burn, to destroy the body that became his home.
Epithelial cells and their importance in the body
Abstract
With a number of new studies the author proves his earlier view that epithelial cells produce a hormone circulating in the blood and passing into milk during lactation. The switching off of this hormone when the epithelial cells are removed leads to a decrease of calcium in the blood and causes tetany.
On the specificity of sex hormone
Abstract
The authors obtained a new preparation from testicles by fast drying the sap of the latter at low temperature. This drug, called "testofortana", being used in the form of tablets (with an admixture of some other organs of internal secretion and calcium) orally and simultaneously, as an extract, subcutaneously, gave an improvement or complete cure in 80% of 180 cases of human impotence observed by the authors.
The effect of radiant energy on a protein molecule
Abstract
Radiant energy acts on a protein molecule, splitting it into its simplest constituent parts, i.e., destroying it. In this case, solar rays and short-wave rays, such as radium and radium rays, have the same effect on the molecule; there is only a quantitative difference.
Histological index of cancer malignancy
Abstract
For the histological characterization of cancer, the authors put forward 9 factors: 1) specific type of carcinoma, 2) size of cancer cell nuclei, 3) shape of nuclei, 4) clarity of cell borders, 5) functional activity of cells, 6) size of cells, 7) shape of cells, 8) ability of nuclei to stain, and 9) number of mitoses.
Multiple primary tumors, especially malignant
Abstract
The author reports that 9,371 autopsies performed between 1920 and 1926 at the Pathologoanat. The author reports that from the total number of cases of malignant tumors of 1.123 (11.98%) in the Institute of Pathology and Anatomy of Prof. Kiml in Prague 14 multiple cancers were found. Besides 4 cases in which the primary origin of the tumor was questionable, 10 cases (0,107% of all autopsies and 0.89% of malignant tumors) remain, where the primary plurality may be considered as reliable or at least very probable.
Intradermal reaction with typhoid fever
Abstract
Having applied an intradermal test with typhoid toxin in a significant number of patients suffering from both typhoid fever and other acute febrile illnesses, Alisov and Morozkin came to the conclusion that this reaction is diagnostically equivalent to Widala's reaction, surpassing the latter in the speed of detection and greater technical simplicity.
On the elimination of typhoid bacilli in milk
Abstract
Experiments staged by V.N.Matveev and E.K. Kresling convinced them that not all races of typhoid bacilli are equally sensitive to high temperature: out of 14 cultures out of 4, when milk was heated to 75 ° C, 10 remained viable were killed.
On experimental blena gonorrhea in rabbits
Abstract
Experimental blenorrhea can only be obtained in young rabbits, and not every strain of human gonococcus gives a positive result here. Subsequently, the first generations of gonococcus isolated from a rabbit can infect other rabbits almost unmistakably, whereas in subsequent generations the virulence of the culture decreases.
To the pathogenesis of pulmonary consumption
Abstract
It is commonly known that fatal pulmonary consumption in adults is usually thought to develop from what is called an apical process. Redeker states, however, that this is only in exceptional cases. The starting point of fatal pulmonary tuberculosis in adults, including galloping one, is usually the "early infiltrate", as R. calls it, which is located mostly in the subclavian region or in the middle part of the lung.
Tobacco production and tbc
Abstract
The author concluded that the influence of occupational hazards of tobacco production on the morbidity and development of tbc is of secondary importance. The author agrees with German hygienists that the incidence and development of the disease depend mainly on the constitution of the organism and social and domestic conditions, and only in the last instance on the profession.
Syphilis and tbc
Abstract
Having studied the clinical course of pulmonary tbc in lutes, the author found that the combination of both infections occurs frequently (64 cases per 1300 patients, i.e. 5%), and tbc added to old tertiary syphilis runs with a tendency to fibrosis, while addition of syphilis to the existing tbc worsens the latter and aggravates the prognosis.
Artificial pneumothorax
Abstract
Analyzing his material in 196 cases of artificial pneumothorax, traced from 6 months to 11 years, the author found that in 8% of cases clinical recovery and in 65% - improvement with partial restoration of ability to work, i.e. in 73% of cases artificial pneumothorax justified its use.
The importance of vegetables in the diet of patients
Abstract
During 6 years of observation of the effect of vegetable juices (cabbage, beets, cauliflower, blue cabbage, potatoes) on the secretory functions of the stomach in 20 people with healthy stomachs, in 61 people with sick stomachs and in one dog with the stomach isolated by Heidenhain-Pavlov, Prof. Orlowski came to the conclusion that these juices intensify the gastric secretion and increase its total acidity, free HCI content and pepsin. Orlowski came to the conclusion that these juices intensify the separation of gastric juice and increase in it total acidity, the content of free HCI and pepsin, and the intensification of gastric work is stimulated exclusively by chemical irritation from nitrogenous (non-protein) substances contained in vegetable juices.
Aetiology and therapy of chronic ulcerative colitis
Abstract
On the basis of numerous observations, Professor L.G. Alekseev concludes that chronic ulcerative colitis is an amicrobial non-infectious disease, often layered on the former ulcerative process (acute bacillary dysentery and other infectious colitis).
Treatment of gastric bleeding
Abstract
In acute bleeding the author recommends physical and mental rest, abstinence from morphine, drip enemas of table salt or grape juice, total abstinence from food for 3 days, if necessary 10% NaCl injections and in case of need cardiac drugs and later ascaline or bismuth with belladonna along with nourishing enemas, careful diet according to Leube or Lenhartz.
On the issue of endocrine gland transplantation
Abstract
The authors concluded that attempts to treat underdevelopment, atrophy and insufficient endocrine gland activity by conventional transplantation of similar glands from another person or from animals are based on a theoretically incorrect position, and quite naturally they either have no result at all or have only a short-term effect.
About blood transfusions
Abstract
The author concluded that blood transfusion is one of the best ways to combat deoxidation and blood stasis, as well as against falling blood pressure, and the best effect from it is obtained when from the beginning of disorders has passed no more than 1-2 hours. In the pre- and postoperative period it is often a necessary measure to increase the chances of a successful operation.
To the etiology of glaucoma
Abstract
Performing a series of studies on subvital processes in the isolated eye, the author obtained data which fully confirm his long-standing thoughts that the function of intraocular pressure regulation belongs to the vascular walls, and that glaucoma is a disease characterized by disturbed compensation of intraocular pressure due to changes in the physical and physiological properties of the vascular walls.
Laboratory diagnosis of trachoma
Abstract
G. B. Stepanov reports the results of a study on the presence of Proryazek'a bodies in 786 cases, of which 655 were examined with trachoma con'yunctiva scrapings, 58 with follicle contents from trachoma patients and 73 with con'yunctiva scrapings from non-trachoma patients.
Artificial insemination
Abstract
For artificial insemination the author considers suitable cases where the obstruction lies in the cervix, or it is unknown, as well as cases of impotentiae coeundi. The author admits that cervical stenosis is a mechanical obstacle, which the spermatozoa are unable to overcome.
Treatment of infertility
Abstract
In discussing the causes of infertility, the author notes that part of the cases with unclear etiology depends on sperm immunity. In one third of infertile marriages the husband is directly responsible for infertility, in another third he indirectly causes infertility (transmission of gonorrhea to the wife), and only in one third of cases the cause of infertility lies with the woman herself.
A new sign of pregnancy
Abstract
In order to diagnose early pregnancy, the author injects a woman intravenously with 1 qt of pituizine. In case of pregnancy in 10-20 seconds the bimanual examination easily detects a sharp uterine contraction, which lasts from 1 to 5 min, after which the uterus begins to soften again.
Artificial induction of uterine contractions
Abstract
When reviewing the methods of artificial induction of uterine contractions in women in labor, the author notes that the mechanical method of Gauss could be replaced by the electric stool Vergonié or procteirinter. The Stein's method (castor oil, pituitrin), which gave the author only 50% positive results, is considered by O. to be no better than the quinine method of inducing contractions.
New views on the etiology of myomas
Abstract
On the basis of clinical and pathological-anatomical studies of 300 myomas S. concludes that the only scientifically acceptable cause of myomas is syphilis. This is supported by the following considerations: the onset of maturation in myoma patients proceeds with the phenomena of hypothyroidism and hyperfunction of the ovaries and pituitary gland; this congenital dystrophy,-the so-called neuroarthritismus, or congestive diathesis, is actually a congenital syphilitic dystrophy. In 100% of all cases of patients with uterine myomas, the author was able to prove the presence of hereditary syphilitic diseases on the part of the father or mother.
On the subject of rickets
Abstract
Having examined 1,403 children under 1 year of age at the Odessa City Children's Clinic, the author found rickets in 46% of the children and craniotabes in 20% of them. According to his observations, social factors - poor living conditions, etc. - do not play a significant role in the pathogenesis of rickets, but the way in which children are fed plays a significant role.
Bronchiectasia in children
Abstract
The author describes 30 cases of childhood bronchiectasias seen at the Kleinschmidt Pediatric Clinic in Hamburg. He considers important for the diagnosis of the disease the dissociation between the percussion and X-ray findings on the one hand and the persistent abundant wheezing in the lungs on the other, as well as the presence of changes in the fingers (drumstick shape) and nails (hour glass shape).
Treatment of measles with quinine
Abstract
The author considers it possible to treat measles abortively by prescribing quinine in ordinary doses (0.03 to 0.3, depending on the age of the patient). This treatment gives alleviation of all attacks of the disease, and its effect is the sharper the earlier it is begun.
Antitoxic serum for scarlet fever
Abstract
The author used in 40 cases of scarlet fever the antitoxic serum prepared by the Mechnikov Institute in Moscow and concluded that the serum treatment of scarlet fever should be used in all severe and moderately severe cases of both toxic and mixed forms of the disease.
Progressive paralysis and the constitution
Abstract
Among 106 progressive paralytic patients, examined by E. S. Friedman, pickney features were definitely expressed in 84, i.e. 79.24%, including 54 patients with mixed pickney-athletic constitution and 30 patients with pure pickney constitution. This makes the author think that pycnism has some affinity to progressive paralysis.
Novel neurolues' therapy
Abstract
Theoretically and practically developed the treatment of neurolues'a by vaccination of malaria, the author thinks the newest therapy of it, as a combination of specific means (salvarsan, Bi, Hg) with nonspecific, among which the main role played by vaccination of malaria and returnable typhus.
Cannibalism in Ukraine
Abstract
The author, who examined the mental condition of the starving people in Pridneprovye by order of the NKZ of Ukraine in 1922, described the results of his examination in his book titled "Cannibalism", where he described 45 cases of cannibalism in various forms (cannibalism, human flesh trade, etc.).
Secondary anemia after the use of acetic acid thallium
Abstract
Acetic acid thallium is now widely used in practice as an epilation agent for parasitic hair diseases, despite the fact that its pharmacological action. extremely complex, can not be considered fully understood. Szentkiralyi believes that hair removal is caused by the effect of thallium on the endocrine resp. vegetative system and that it is only one symptom of a general syndrome complex of disorders in the endocrine resp. vegetative system, not yet fully studied.
Treatment of chronic middle ear inflammation
Abstract
Having treated 144 cases of purulent inflammations of the middle ear according to Bezredek's method, the author concluded that coke infections are successfully cured exclusively with filtrate-bullion-vaccine, while mixed infections require the addition of weak disinfectant solutions to the latter.
To the pathological anatomy of maxillary sinusitis
Abstract
Having studied histologically 40 preparations obtained at the operation, and 32 from corpses, the author found that maxillary sinus diseases occur more often than reported in the literature - that in the sinuses are noted not only mucosal but also bone changes, and that in the mucosa of this prevails productive process.
Private pathology and therapy of internal medicine
Abstract
The GPO sent me 2 issues of "Private Pathology and Therapy" for review, and I took on the proposed task with great pleasure, as I wanted 1) to study the material available in this manual in more detail 2) to become acquainted with the collective work of our Russian therapists.
Dietetics of gastric and intestinal diseases
Abstract
First of all, the first section of the book, written by Prof. Boas, gives us the general principles and acquaints us with the conditions of expediency and rules of diegetic treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and then deals with issues of private diegetics.
Dietetics and subsequent treatment in gastrointestinal surgeries
Abstract
In the second part, the private dietetics of diseases of the stomach and intestines and, above all, the diet in acute catarrhs of the gastrointestinal tract are already described. Abstinence from food until the patient has an appetite, a slow transition to the usual dishes and the use of light dishes in terms of digestion and assimilation, this is the basic principle of the diet.

Questions and answers
Abstract
Please report the technique of shoulder dislocation reduction by the Janelidze method mentioned in the article of G.A. Ilyin (No. 3, "Kaz. Med. Zhurnal"). Subp. no. 2571.
Answer: The patient lies on the side of the dislocated side so that the arm hangs over the edge of the table. In doing so, pay attention to the edge of the table where the edges of the m. pect. maj. et latissimi dorsi approach the shoulder. The head of the b-head is supported by an assistant. The arm remains in the downward position for 1-2 minutes, during which the shoulder girdle musculature relaxes. Then the surgeon stands on the front side of the patient, bends his arm at the elbow and, holding his forearm with both hands, presses straight down along the axis of the shoulder, rotating it slightly alternately to the outside and inside at the same time.
