Professor V. L. Bogolyubov, as a scientist and teacher
Abstract
Victor Leonidovich Bogolyubov was born in Kazan on March 25, 1874, in the family of a modest official. As a 9-year-old boy he entered the First Kazan Gymnasium, which he graduated with a gold medal in 1892, and continued his education at the Law Faculty of Kazan University. However, the law did not captivate him and he was transferred to the Medical Faculty the following year. In 1898 he finished his course with the rank of "doctor with excellent marks" (medicus cum eximia laude) and was admitted to the faculty surgical clinic of Prof. V. I. Razumovsky.
Professor V. L. Bogolyubov, as a public figure
Abstract
The social significance of scientific and pedagogical activity derives from the very essence of this highly differentiated function in contemporary society. The social and cultural progress of mankind is inconceivable without scientific research and implies at the same time the constant, systematic training and education under the guidance of our scientists of new generations of qualified specialists and figures of science in a wide variety of areas of modern life. That is why our country so appreciates the work of its scientists; that is why anniversaries in the lives of our scientists and teachers, marking a long streak of legendary hard and fruitful work, become celebrations not only of the narrow circle of their students and figures of the known field of knowledge, but grow into major social events that attract and thrill all who care about the fate of science and social progress.
A simple way to quantify arsenic in blood
Abstract
Although there is considerable literature on the issue of quantitative determination of As in the blood (Strizhevsky, Bang, etc.), but the complexity of manipulations in determining this element, the low stability of standards in colorimetric determinations by Marsch'y and other methods, the need to prepare these standards ex tempore and the inability titration determination of very small amounts of As has made the As determination not so widely used in clinical laboratory practice, as it seemed necessary in some cases of arsenic therapy.
How long is the incubation period of malaria?
Abstract
About duration of incubation period of malaria we already had a chance to speak in the report, presented by us, together with Dr. Lifshitz, to the IV Volga region malaria congress. New researches in this direction, which have given us, by the way, the same results, as the former ones, allow us to speak again on this question, especially as this question, which has been raised infinitely many times by different researchers, is solved till now, in our opinion, incorrectly. So, last years begin to speak, as something quite proved, that the incubation period at this illness very often lasts 6-9 months and more while we with it, on the basis of our materials, cannot agree.
About pyloro-duodenitis
Abstract
If 3-4 years ago a patient came to us with complaints of late pains after eating, of hunger and night pains, if he had an increased content of free HCI in the gastric juice, blood in the gastric contents or in the feces, and if finally we probed his hypertrophied and painful pylorus, we probably would not hesitate to diagnose a stomach ulcer or duodenal ulcer. Now with such categoricalness and certainty we cannot and should not make such diagnosis. Because now we know, especially due to wide use of gastroscopy (mainly in Germany) and also due to wide spread of gastrointestinal surgery, that the whole symptom complex, which we considered almost pathognomonic for stomach or duodenal ulcer, can be present in diseases of the stomach, where there is no ulcer and never was. We now know of the existence of "ulcer disease without ulcers"-Ulcuskrankheit ohne Ulcus!
Caverns and pseudocaverns in X-rays and their clinical significance
Abstract
For the clinician and partly for the pathologist-anatomist the formation of caverns was so far as if the final chord in the progressing tuberculosis process of a certain area of the lungs, in which the sequestration of caseous infiltrate or tissue melting from pyogenic membrane occurred. But after the works of Assmann, Lydtin, Ulrici, Redeker, etc. the attention of clinicians stopped on early subclavian or centrally lying infiltrates, which very often quickly decayed and gave rise to early caverns. We now know that it is necessary to distinguish between these early caverns, in the initial phase of the tuberculosis process, and late caverns, in the final phase of the process. Both species have a definite place in phthisisogenesis.
Appendicitis and gastric acidity
Abstract
Our material is very modest, covering only 25 cases of appendicitis. We excluded patients with dubious anamnesis and objective examination data from the category of patients under study, and gastric juice was not studied in them. Besides, we tried to select patients with similar symptoms and clinical manifestations of the disease as much as possible, so that it would be easier and more correct to orient in the results of the study.
On pathological and anatomical changes in free skin transplants to other organs and tissues
Abstract
In surgical practice, attempts to replace mucous or serous membranes with skin have been known for a long time. There are also known cases of using skin instead of the usual use of fascia. So, O. Loewe (1913) in 9 patients with inguinal hernias, retroflexio uteri and other diseases instead of fascia inserted pieces of skin of different length after removal of its surface epithelial layer. In 1927, Prof. Bogolyubov applied free skin grafting in the form of flagellum in 17 cases of gastropexia, bowel obstruction, anus praeternaturalis and for narrowing the femoral or inguinal canal, for hernias; in 4 cases Prof. Bogolyubov used skin flagellum for narrowing the rectal opening with prolapsed rectum. In all operated cases the transplanted tourniquets were implanted along with complete healing of the wound.
On the restoration of the auricle in toto
Abstract
The complete restoration of the auricle belongs to the most difficult tasks of plastic surgery. In daily surgical practice, we usually have to deal with the replacement of partial defects of the auricle of greater or lesser magnitude, as well as with the correction of various irregularities in the shape and position of the outer ear.
On conservative surgery in acute purulent osteomyelitis
Abstract
The nature and size of surgical intervention in severe surgical patients are determined primarily by the patient's general condition and the reserve of his vitality. Acute osteomyelitis belongs to the number of severe sufferings, affecting most often the growing children's body, and is rightly called a typhoid of bones. In the clinical picture of this disease, sometimes even before the appearance of local symptoms, severe septic conditions come to the fore. Particularly severe is often acute multiple osteomyelitis. In most cases it is a generalized septic disease with one or more deep metastases and circulating infection in the blood.
On the treatment of inflammatory purulent processes with autohemotherapy
Abstract
Recently at the congresses and in the medical literature, both Russian and foreign, the reports on application of patients' own blood injections as a method of inflammatory processes treatment began to appear. In the available literature we managed to trace recently a significant growth of observations on treatment of inflammatory processes by autohemotherapy, and more often this method is used in treatment of skin diseases of bacterial origin, such as acne vulgaris, impetigo, furunculosis.
Perthes' disease and mud treatment
Abstract
Perthes' disease is still little studied, especially as regards its pathogenesis and therapy; the cases, traced back over the years, are still isolated. It is difficult to refer the disease to pure arthrosis (see my view in Physician's Business, 1928, No. 10). In Essentuki I have consulted in a number of cases during the last 5 years, I have seen some patients repeatedly and I can give some data about their balneotherapy. As an example, I will give one case, which I saw repeatedly and demonstrated at a lecture to doctors in Essentuki in 1926.
New modification of foot root arthrodesis
Abstract
Modern literature teaches us that with extra-articular methods of surgery, graft resorption easily occurs, and primarily at the level of joint fissures, which, in the absence of ankylotic joints within the joints themselves, entails the recurrence of the dangling foot. This failure is easy to understand if we remember clinical and experimental observations showing that in the presence of pseudarthrosis of one of the paired limb bones (tibia or forearm), spontaneous pseudarthrosis of another, whole bone easily occurs at the same level (Bier et al. Biesalski, Müller, Kopylov), and that a bone graft transplanted to fix a tuberculous joint (in particular, the spine) subsequently, after healing of the lesion and disappearance of muscle stiffness, segments just at the level of the joint gap (Biesalski, Müller, Kopylov).
On the definition of constitution and its importance in the woman's labor function
Abstract
Without going into a critical evaluation of some methods of research of morphological constitution, we would like only to emphasize that the measuring method involuntarily bribes in its favor with its objectivity and greater accuracy. This circumstance prompted us to try the application of this method in the allocation of constitutional types. Starting this task, first of all, of course, we had to stop at the choice of a certain classification of the types of morphological constitution. At the same time, wishing to narrow the problem beyond the limits of testing the measuring method in relation to constitutional types quite established by descriptive methods, we decided so far to choose such constitutional types which, on the one hand, can be allocated quite definitely, and on the other hand, in relation to which their influence on manifestation of physiological and pathological conditions in a woman is known.
On hemoglobin-precipitins
Abstract
In the August 1927 issue of the "Kazan Medical Journal" I reported the results of my experiments on immunization of rabbits with crystalline horse hemoglobin and then noted the extreme importance of obtaining hemoglobin-precipitin serum for forensic medicine. At that time, I immunized four rabbits with human red blood cell extract and six rabbits with crystalline horse hemoglobin. I will not repeat here the results of immunization, I will only remind you that immunization with an extract of red blood cells did not give a specific serum, while immunization with crystal hemoglobin gave results quite similar to those obtained by Higaschi in 1923.
Anatomical institutes of Western Europe
Abstract
From 9/VI to 10/VIII, 1927, I was in Germany and worked in II Anatomical Institute (Anatomo-Biological Institute) of Berlin University, under Prof. F. Keibel, where I studied the methods of modern embryological research, in particular the methods of both plastic and graphic reconstructions of organs of vegetative nervous system. I also carefully studied the museum of the institute and its embryological collections and looked through a series of microbiological collections I was interested in.
About urine formation. K. A. Buinevich (Rus. Clin., 1928, No. 49)
Abstract
As is known, the process of urine formation is explained differently by different authors: according to Ludwig's theory, all components of urine are excreted in renal glomerules, and in tubules urine is concentrated due to absorption of water; according to Wohmann and Heidenhain, water and sodium chloride are excreted in glomerules, in tubules - the remaining parts of urine.
To the physiology of the sense of smell. С. F. Gamayunov (Vest. rhinol.-ot., 1928, No. 2)
Abstract
On the basis of a series of experiments performed on dogs, Dr. S. F. Gamayunov found that in dogs, as in humans, there is on the one hand an aspiratory sense of smell and on the other an expiratory sense of smell, the latter being much weaker than the former.
On the preservation of diagnostic sera and bacterial emulsions. J. Daranyi (Deut. m. W., 1928, No. 28)
Abstract
The author recommends for this purpose the addition of 1/20th part of mercury solution (1 gm of pure mercury per 250 gm of physiological table salt solution). Validity of hemolysins, precipitins and agglutinins is retained for up to 2 years.
Typhoid and sewage in Prague. G. Salus (Med. Klin., 1928, No. 30)
Abstract
Before the introduction of the sewage in Prague, 400-500 people a year fell ill with typhoid fever and 67-70 died; when the sewage was finished, 150 people on the average fell ill with 20 deaths, and when the city was supplied with irreproachable drinking water, the corresponding figures dropped to 60 and 6.
Serum treatment of pneumonia. Lechner (Klin. Woch., 1928, No. 28)
Abstract
In recent years, especially in America, there have been many attempts to treat pneumonia with a specific serum formulated for the four types of pneumococcus found. Such experiments, by the way, were performed by Lechner with a type I serum from the Hoechst's factory, as well as with a polyvalent one. In patients the type of pneumococcus was determined by examining a piece of sputum for 6-8 hours with intra-abdominal culture in a pig.
The causative agent of scarlatina. Prof. S. I. Zlatogorov, V. I. Kudryavtseva, and B. L. Palant (Journal of Microbes, vol. V, issue 2)
Abstract
In experiments with inoculations of treated cultures of scarlet streptococcus and infection of monkeys the authors obtained confirmation of their assumption about close symbiosis of this microbe with the scarlet virus. In this symbiosis and in the activation of streptococcus by this virus lies the cause of its pathogenic effect on the organism.
Frequency of misrecognition of pulmonary tbc where it does not exist. K. H. Blumel (Münch., m. W., 1928, No. 29)
Abstract
On the basis of extensive observations in his sanatorium, the author thinks that this frequency is very high - more than the total number of investigated patients. Inactivated tuberculosis is most often mistaken for active tbc; emphysema, bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, bronchitis, and intercostal neuralgia are also often mistaken for tbc.
To the prediction in pulmonary caverns. К. Kotter (Zeit. f. Tuberkul., Bd. 49, No. 5)
Abstract
Of all the cavernous patients who were treated in the St. Blasien health center in 1919-21, 21.5% were still alive after 6-8 years (or 33%, if we take the same percentage for those whose fate remained unknown as for those who were not lost from sight). Prediction in caverns is closely connected with the quality of the disease process: the so-called early forms give a much better prediction than the late forms; the tertiary forms are much less amenable to internal treatment, and the effusion-progressive forms give an absolutely unfavorable prediction.
Treatment with CaCl2 iontophoresis for tbc lung and bronchial asthma. B. Broderson and V. Stoyanovskaya (Physiotherapy, 1928, No. 3)
Abstract
The authors observed positive results from treatment with Ca iontophoresis in cases of productive, fibrotic lung tbc in a subcompensated state. On the contrary, in open stage III lung tbc, even if compensated, the use of this method is contraindicated. When treating pulmonary tbc with Ca iontophoresis, longitudinally placed electrodes and low-intensity sessions should be used.
Application of d'Arsonval's currents and diathermy in cardiac pains. Rogachevsky (Physiotherapy, 1928, No. 1)
Abstract
On the basis of a large amount of material, the author came to the conclusion that d'Arsonval's currents have a pain-relieving effect, and their use is desirable in the following cardiac diseases: cardiac neurosis, heart defects, minor myodegenerations and myoasthenia.
Winter mud cure of chronic joint diseases. L. Klyachkin (Vr. Delo, 1928, No. 17)
Abstract
According to the observations of the author, winter out-of-season and out-of-resort mud treatment of some forms of chronic joint diseases in its therapeutic effect is not much inferior to similar treatment conducted at the resort. Fears on the part of patients of colds or other complications in connection with winter mud treatment are unfounded.
To the treatment of potassium cyanide poisoning. K. Feyerabend (Klin. W., 1928, No. 28)
Abstract
The author describes a case where a patient, who was brought to the hospital dying with signs of very severe poisoning by hydrocyanic acid, after injecting 1.0 sodium thiosulfate into a vein, after 2 minutes breathing returned, then pulse and, finally, consciousness. Two days later he was discharged quite recovered.
Tobacco heart. E. Moshsowitz (Journ. of Am. Med. Ass., 1928, No. 10)
Abstract
Smoking tobacco may lead to seizures similar to those seen in chest pain based on coronary and aortic disease. The pain in "tobacco heart" is usually more intense and lasts longer than in real angina pectoris, and in most cases it is accompanied by only slight disturbances of cardiac function, or the latter are even completely absent.
On gastric neuroses. W. Baensch (Fortschr. d. Röntgenstr., Bd. 36, No. 6)
Abstract
The author was convinced that out of the total number of suspected gastric neuroses almost 25% had some organic disease-ulcer, inflammation of the gallbladder, etc., and sometimes the cause of the suspected gastric neurosis was such diseases as tabes.
Treatment of colitis and proctitis with paraffin. Schmitz (Fortschr. d. Ther., 1928, No. 7)
Abstract
After purgative enema 1/4 liter of paraffin heated to 40°, to which 2 tablespoons of white clay powder is added, is introduced into the intestine by means of a syringe and an intestinal tube. The infusion is done in the position of the patient on the right side, after which the patient lies on his back, and then on the left side.
Anesthesia of the plexus brachialis in the subclavian fossa. Kim (Zentr. f. Chir., 1928, No. 23)
Abstract
It is known that Baolg proposed a new method of anesthesia of the brachialis plexus, which consists in introducing a needle at the apex of the proc, coracoidei, parallel to the clavicle, in a medial direction at an angle of 85° to the table, where the patient lies on his back. With this insertion, the needle on the II rib touches the plexus. Kim, making experiments on cadavers, was convinced that in some individuals the ink did not spread throughout the brachialis plexus, so he injected half of the novocaine solution with adrenaline (30-40 cc of 2% solution) according to Balog's method, and the other half was injected by guiding the needle medial to the middle of the subclavian fossa.
Etiology of endemic goiter. Huguenin (Presse med., 1928, No. 28)
Abstract
Goiter develops due to exaggerated physiological growth processes depending on various factors, - here the influence of sex (predominance of females 5:1-3), stages of sexual life (maturation, pregnancy, childbirth), heredity (to the 4th generation) and, finally, the "water" factor affects. It has been proven experimentally that deficiency of salts and, in particular, of iodine does not play a role in goiter etiology.
Malignant tumors of the thyroid gland and their relation to goiter in man and animals. Wegelin (Cancer Review, 1928, No. 7)
Abstract
In both humans and animals, a close affinity between endemic goiter and malignant thyroid tumors has been definitely established. Here almost invariably malignant changes originate from benign tissue proliferations. Thus, Wegelin points out that, for example, in Berlin, which is almost free of goiter disease, malignant thyroid tumors account for no more than 0.09% of the sectional material, whereas in Bern, which is the area where endemic goiter reaches its maximum in Europe, the same tumors account for 1.04%.
Antitoxic coli serum in purulent progressions in the abdominal cavity. Dr. N. Köhler (Zentr. f. Chir., 1928, No. 39)
Abstract
In 14 cases with good results, the author tested Katzenstein's method-antitoxic serum against bac. coli to treat coli-bacillary peritonitis. In limited processes, where the toxic effect is of secondary importance, the serum has almost no benefit.
Application of foxglove preparations in pre- and postoperative period. Köhler (Zentr. f. Chir., 1928, No. 24)
Abstract
The author observed a good effect from the use of these preparations in the sense of elimination of postoperative cardiac weakness and pulmonary complications. Prophylactically the author gave digitalis in the form of suppositories 3 times a day, or administered it intravenously 2 times a day. After the operation the digitalis was given intravenously 2 times a day for 8 days after the big operation.
On the carried fetuses. Sellheim (Münch. m. W., 1928, No. 22)
Abstract
Among cases of excessive duration of pregnancy we should distinguish two categories: in one series of these cases, the pregnancy ends with the birth of an overly large fetus, in the other, the fetus dies in the womb due to nutritional disorders.
Enhancement of the function of the mammary glands by exposure to the mountain sun. Vogt (Deut. med. Woch., 1928, No. 33)
Abstract
It is well known that the increase of milk separation in breasts has so far been one of the most difficult tasks of therapy. According to Vogt'y this problem is solved very simply: illumination of breasts by the rays of the artificial mountain sun is a simple, valid and harmless means to influence favorably both primary and secondary hypofunction of breasts, - means which allow to spend a long time natural breastfeeding of breast children without their transfer to artificial feeding.
Insulin in toxicosis of pregnancy. Loeser (Zentr. f. Gyn., 1928, No. 22)
Abstract
Having used insulin in combination with glucose in 45 cases of toxicosis (acidosis) of pregnancy, the author obtained very favorable results from such treatment: vomiting of pregnant women, dermatoses, eclampsism and eclampsia were partially completely cured, partially giving a striking improvement.
Adrenaline as a means of relaxing the contractile ring during labor. Rucker (from Berich. ü. d. ges. Gyn., Bd. 13)
Abstract
The formation of a contractile ring is a complication in which waiting would be a mistake. Narcotics do not help here. Sometimes amyl nitrite helps, sometimes hot baths. Forced extraction of the fetus with forceps or attempts at turning can end disastrously.
Mud cure and electroion therapy in chronic inflammatory diseases of the female genital sphere. D. E. Shmundak and G. L. Kanevsky (Vr. Delo, 1928, No. 17)
Abstract
The authors performed pure mud treatment as well as mud treatment in combination with potassium iodide electroion therapy. With the former they had a recovery of 19%, a significant improvement of 5% and a slight improvement of 36%; with the latter they had a recovery rate of 36%, a significant improvement of 45 and only 15% had a slight improvement.
Prophylactic use of anti-scarlatino serum. René, Martin and Laffaile (Soc. de Peel., 1928, No. 7)
Abstract
The authors report the results of a Dick's anti-scarlatino serum prepared at the Pasteur Institute. During one epidemic which occurred in July, 1927, 27 of the 85 prisoners of 12-18 years of age tested positive, and the antiscarlatina serum was given immediately to these persons (20 c.c. to persons older than 14 years and 10 c.c. to the younger ones); within 3 weeks there was no illness, but then again 2 of those who tested positive had contracted scarlatina.
Results of treatment with serum of severely ill scarlatina patients. Nobecourt, Martin and Bizé (Soc. de Ped., 1928, No. 7)
Abstract
The authors used a Debré, Lamy and Bonnet anti-scarlatino serum, close in technique to the Dick's serum and equal in titer to 10,000 doses of Dick's in 1 c. The treatment, although timely and sufficiently applied, had no therapeutic effect on early complications of the disease, nor any prophylactic effect on later complications.
Serum treatment of cerebrospinal meningitis in children. N. A. Euler (Pediatrics, 1928, No. 4)
Abstract
According to observations of N.A. Euler, anti-meningococcal serum is a strictly specific, good, and often powerful tool in the fight against cerebrospinal meningitis. When it is used in successful cases there is a rapid improvement in painful symptoms and well-being, clarification of consciousness and a rapid return to normal cerebral fluid.
Brain disorders in malignant anemia. E. Weil and R. Cahen (Presse med., 1928, No. 60)
Abstract
The authors point out that the clinical picture of pernicious anemia can be dominated by brain disorders, making it difficult to diagnose. Cabot and Woltmann reported psychiatric disorders, namely, mental weakness and melancholy, in 25-35% of all cases of the disease. The character of the disorders is very variable: they are either depressive or of the agitation type, the latter more frequent; delirium of persecution with auditory and visual hallucinations usually predominates.
The Constitution of the addicts. M. I. Ryabova (Med. ob. lower Volga region, 1928, No. 3-4)
Abstract
The author found that all drug addicts, including alcoholics, are mostly astenic, athletic or astenico-athletic by body structure; picnics are very rare among them, and there are more astenics and picnics among women than among men. Among alcoholics there are far more athletics and fewer astenics than among other addicts. The picnic structure of the body is rare among alcoholics; it is not found at all among drug addicts of other groups.
To etiology and recognition of rhinoscleroma. R. B. Gragerova and O. G. Kalina (Russ. vest. derm., 1928, No. 4)
Abstract
The authors found that this reaction reveals a true specificity for this disease of Fritsch bacilli, and when the clinical and histological pictures do not provide sufficiently convincing data, this reaction can serve as a valuable diagnostic method.
On metabolism in skin itching. K.G. Patakanyan (R. v. dermatol. 1928, No. 7)
Abstract
Examining the urine of 80 patients with skin pruritus, the author found a sharp decrease in metabolism and an increase in NaCl. Eight patients with particularly severe itching were conducted on an achlorinated diet, and their urine was re-examined and the course of the disease was monitored in parallel.
Treatment of eczema with calcium. M. A. Rotenberg (Dnepr. Med. J., 1928, No. 7-8)
Abstract
Having tried in 11 cases of eczema intravenous infusions of 10% calcium chloride solution at a dose of 4 to 10 kc, with 3-day intervals, M. A. Rotenberg was very satisfied with the results obtained. According to his observations, calcium has a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect on the eczematous process.
Prof. M. P. Konchalovsky and Dr. N. P. Zolotareva. Saharan disease, its diagnosis and treatment. Gos. izdat. 1928, 187 pp. price 1 r. 50 к.
Abstract
If before the war diabetes was most often a disease of the wealthy classes, nowadays in all countries, including ours, there is an increase in the incidence of diabetes among the mass of the population, and, even more curious, the number of juvenile, severe forms of the disease has undoubtedly increased. This circumstance, as well as the discovery and wide use of insulin and especially the appearance on the market of insulin of our production, has forced the practitioner much more interested in both diabetes and its treatment than it was before. The book by Prof. M. P. Konchalovsky and Dr. I. P. Zolotareva therefore appeared as timely as possible, responding to the urgent demand of a wide circle of doctors.
Prof. I.G. Kurlov. Classification of Siberian healing mineral waters. Tomsk. 1928. 73 pp. price 1 ruble
Abstract
The classification of Siberian mineral waters is made according to the principle proposed by professor Kurlov in 1921. The author denotes the composition of mineral water as a fraction, the numerator of which represents anions in milligram equivalent-percentages, and the denominator - cations. The fraction is preceded by a number determining, in grams, the total mineralization of a given water.
F. Groedel. Lehrbuch und Atlas der Röntgendiagnostik in der inneren Medizin und ihren Grenzgebieten. 2 volumes, 1109 pp., and 1 atlas with 712 radiographs and 720 figures in the text. 4th rev. ed. Lehmann, München, price in repr. 56 m.
Abstract
The value of this renowned textbook on radiodiagnostics is that each individual branch of diagnosis is treated by a specialist in that field. Thus, for example, the normal thorax is treated by Groedel, the brain and spinal cord by Otten, the lungs and heart by the well-known Dietlen, the pleura by Brauer, the genitourinary organs by Hanisch, the skeleton by the well-known Kohler, etc.
Society of Physicians at Kazan University. Vol. 24, No. 12 (1928)
Abstract
Assoc. AD Gusev: On the issue of hemoglobin-precipitins. The report is placed in this issue “Kaz. honey. magazine ". - In the debate of prof. VS Gruzdev asked the speaker if he had to stage a precipitation reaction with old blood stains to find out its practical value. The speaker replied that the reaction with blood from old spots was also positive. Prof. V.M. Aristovsky noted that the author in his report did not stop at the question of what constituent of hemoglobin possesses antigenic properties.
Questions and answers. Vol. 24, No. 12 (1928)
Abstract
A patient with nephrosclerosis suddenly died within 2 days with the phenomena of azotemic uremia and severe intestinal bleeding, accompanied by discharge of fragments (ribbons) of mucosa and muscular (!) membranes of the large intestine. Autopsy showed widespread hemorrhagic necrotic colitis, one aplastic kidney and the other sharply overgrown. I request the Editorial Board to inform me how often such cases are observed, as well as what literature is available on this subject. Dr. Kolachev.
Letters to the Editor. Vol. 24, No. 12 (1928)
Abstract
In the minutes of the dermatovenerical section of the Society of Doctors of Kazan University dated 30/V (Kaz. Med., 1928, No 10) there are some inaccuracies and omissions in the part concerning the demonstration by Dr. J.D. Pechnikov. Dr. P. demonstrated a patient diagnosed with Urethro-cystitis, orcho-epididymitis, prostatitis et spermatocystitis malarica. The patient was followed up for 8 months; during this time by repeated attacks of worsening followed by improvements, the listed symptom complex of urogenital disease developed. All clinical and laboratory tests were invariably negative for the presence of gonorrhea.
