Regarding the relation of the sympathetic nervous system to the transverse striated muscles
Abstract
In several articles published from 1909 to 1913, the Dutch scientist Boeke described in the transverse striated muscles nerve fibers accompanying the motor fleshy ones and ending in the motor plaques of the transverse striated muscle fibers. Examining the m. obliquus sup. of a cat in which the n. trochlearis was cut immediately at the exit from the brain, Voeke found the endings of sensory and motor fibers and preserved muscleless fibers (the cat died on the 4th day after the operation) reincarnated. On this basis, the author attributed the sympathetic origin to these fibers.
To the treatment of pneumonia
Abstract
Except for serotherapy, which lately, mainly in America, is again beginning to gain adherents for treatment of some forms of pneumonia, but which is still under development, we have no specific method of treatment of croup pneumonia up to the present time. Hence there are understandable attempts to find any remedy, which would give more or less favorable results in treatment of the named disease. One of such means is quinine, the use of which in croupic fever has been known in the literature for more than 70 years.
Surgical treatment of gunshot injuries of peripheral nerves
Abstract
The issue of surgical treatment of gunshot injuries of peripheral nerves until the last war seemed to be extremely underdeveloped. Only the experience of the last World War clarified many aspects of this issue, significantly changing the surgeons' views on the treatment of nerve wounds. However, despite this, even at present the issue of surgical treatment of gunshot nerve injuries seems to be far from exhausted and deserves attention in many respects.
A case of ascites operated on using the new method
Abstract
The demonstration patient was a 17-year-old girl, who had abdominal dropsy of 3 years' duration on the basis of syphilitic cirrhosis of the liver. Fluid filled the entire abdomen, after repeated punctures it accumulated again on the next day, and, arriving - judging by body weight - about 2 pounds a day, it reached its former size in 1½-2 weeks. The amount of fluid released each time was 10-13 liters.
Bilateral twin tubal pregnancy
Abstract
According to Werth and Schaut, bilateral twin tubal pregnancies belong to the third category of twin ectopic pregnancies, the rarest category, which includes only those bilateral tubal pregnancies where both fetuses are the product of the same ovulation, but not those where, after termination in one tube, a new pregnancy occurs in the other,-or, less frequently, in the same tube,ie. i.e., the fetal eggs belong to different ovulation periods.
Anatomical studies on the Golsrohn's modification of the Alехаndеr-Adam's surgery
Abstract
The Аlехаndеr-Adam's surgery, which has gained wide rights of citizenship in modern gynecological practice, has its own history, the main stages of which I will allow myself to dwell upon. Its first author must be considered the French surgeon Alquié, who, having noticed the important role of the round uterine ligaments in the normal position of the uterus, on the one hand, and their relaxation and lengthening at displacement of this organ to the bottom, on the other hand, proposed to find the round ligament in the external inguinal ring through a small cut, to stick it out by 10 cm or more, to stitch it with ligature and fix it in the lower corner of the wound.
The experience of feeding children with Moro butter-flour mixture
Abstract
In the field of artificial feeding of children both the usual methods of milk dilution and various attempts to treat cow's milk in order to bring its composition closer to that of the woman's milk, or to make it more digestible, have never produced a result close to that of mother's breast feeding. The imperfection of artificial feeding has always been the cause of the search in this field, why every new proposal in dietetics attracts great attention.
On the effect of Omorol on urethral gonorrhea in men
Abstract
With the discovery of the contagious origin of gonorrhea in the form of the gonococcus discovered by Neisser (in 1879), a new era has dawned in the treatment of the disease: nowadays we must be guided by the clinical symptoms of the disease alone, but we must have in mind a substantial and valid criterion. The treatment of this disease has ushered in a new era: nowadays, in assessing the results of the treatment of gonorrhoea, we must not be guided only by the clinical symptoms of the disease, but we must have in mind a more substantial and valid criterion, namely the presence or absence of gonococci in the urethra secretions, and to better fulfill the task of therapy we must, upon establishing the diagnosis of the disease, disinfect the diseased urethra as quickly and reliably as possible.
On the digestibility of whole grain bread
Abstract
In No. 182 of the "Proceedings of the TSIK" of 18/VIII 1921 was printed an article by I. Ivanovich under the title: "From a pood of grain-two poods of bread (one of the means to be satiated in the days of hunger)". The article was written about P. A. Zarin's experiments with baking bread from whole grain.
The Hérelle phenomenon, its nature and significance from the point of view of biologists and clinicians
Abstract
From individual facts through their generalization scientific hypotheses and theories are created, which in turn are the basis for new conquests of science. Therefore, it is not surprising that often a suddenly discovered fact produces a whole revolution in our views. Often such a fact, which in the beginning does not fit in our ideas, later serves as a starting point for the creation of a new theory. So it was with discoveries of phagocytosis, gemolysis, bacteriolysis, Kraus' precipitations, agglutination, anaphylaxis, etc. Apparently, the so-called "dʹHerelle phenomenon" has the same place nowadays.
Protein therapy for gastric ulcers. Каlk (Klin. Woch., 1922, No. 28)
Abstract
Favorable results of treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers by parenteral administration of protein, obtained by Pribram, who published 77 cases treated with novoprotein (a crystalline preparation of vegetable protein), made Calck test this method on the material, where there were not only subjective complaints of patients - pain after eating, but also objective, especially roentgenological symptoms of gastric or duodenal ulcers.
To the therapeutic treatment of peptic ulcers of the stomach and duodeni. Orliansky (Klinische Woch., 1923, No. 29)
Abstract
As early as 1911 the American physician Sippy suggested an original method of peptic ulcer treatment, which became widespread in America, England and France. The famous English surgeon Wоуnihаn in 1911 expressed the Sippy method as one of the most rational therapeutic methods of treatment of ulcus duodeni; the same opinion is held by Мауо.
A simple method for the reduction of dislocations of the hip joint. Khrustalev (Vestn. Khir. i Pogr. Obl., 1922, bb. 4-9)
Abstract
This method was proposed back in the first half of the 19th century. The patient is laid in such a way that the Pourontoʹs ligament lies parallel to the edge of the table. The patient is laid so that the Pourontoʹva ligament of the dislocated side lies parallel to the edge of the table, and the pelvis is pressed by the anterior-upper spine and the pubis to the table with a helper's hand pressing on the sacrum. The dislocated leg slowly hangs over the edge of the table, bending at the hip joint to a right angle. The surgeon bends the patient's leg at the knee and, pressing down firmly, makes gentle rotating movements at the same time.

Rapid anatomical recognition of progressive paralysis. Stiefler (Münch. m. Woch., 1923, No. 22)
Abstract
The examination of the brain by the histological methods of Hiessl and Alzhiemer for the recognition of progressive paralysis is inaccessible to the practical doctor, why Stiefler (Münch. m. Woch., 1923, No. 22) warmly recommends the witty histo-chemical method of Spatz.

N. Filatov. Concise Textbook of Children's Diseases for Last Semesters' Students. Ed. XI (posthumous). Gos. Izd. Berlin. 1922.
Abstract
Every Russian physician knows Filatov's "brief textbook," and many more generations of physicians will learn from this book. Looking through it, one is surprised at how little it shows that it was written 30 years ago; this is because in his "brief textbook" Filatov does not dwell on ephemeral hypotheses, theories, etc., but confines himself almost exclusively to the clinical picture of diseases, and in this area he is not surpassed even by the modern coryphaei of pediatrics.
