Healing and harmful light forces
Abstract
The history of medicine over the last century shows us that alongside the newly established wonderful principles of treatment and the introduction of a number of valuable medicines, a new direction in therapy appeared. This is due to desire to dispose of the forces of nature itself in the interests of health, a desire to take advantage of those natural agents which, like air, water and light, were eternal companions of life and their healing value was much more appreciated in ancient times.
On true heterotopy of the spinal cord
Abstract
In pathological anatomy, heterotopy means a shift of any parts of an organ from its usual place to another. In the spinal cord, this anomaly is expressed as a violation of the mutual topography of the gray and white matter, the Clark's collumns and the central channel.
V. S. Delitsky. A case of so-called glazed liver and obliterating inflammation of the pericardium and pleura. "Med. Obozr.", 1902, T. LVIII, No. 18
Abstract
The author describes a case where the pleura of the right lung was sharply thickened (from 2 mm to 1 ctm). The cavity of the pericardial sac is completely obliterated, so that the lung, heart, glands and fibre have all grown together into one solid white mass.
Dr. Yurevich. On hereditary and intrauterine transmission of agglutinating properties and production of agglutinins by fetuses. Botkin Hospital Newspaper, 1902, No. 44
Abstract
The author's paper addresses three questions: 1) the relationship of agglutinating properties of the blood of normal adult animals and their newborn babies; 2) the transmission of agglutinins during pregnancy and the independent production of agglutinins by the fetus during the mother's infection; and 3) the cumulative transmission of the property of cultivating agglutinins.
M. I. Lyubovsky. Urotropin and its therapeutic value. (A separate extract from the Physician's Gazette, No. 31)
Abstract
Urotropine, which has found a rather significant application, especially in foreign practice, in which there are metabolic disorders related to renal activity and urinary tract suffering, has caused extensive literature looking at both its pharmacological activity and its therapeutic application.
B. N. Cherno-Schwartz. A case of Vincent's angina. Children's Med., 1902, No. 4
Abstract
Vincent itself distinguishes between 2 forms of angina, differing in their clinical course and the microorganisms found. The first form is diphtheroid, which is lighter and more rare. The second form is ulceromembranous, a heavier and more common form.
А. V. Beketov. To the casuistry of internal impingements. Surgery, T. XІІ, No. 69
Abstract
In addition to the normally existing holes and pockets in the peritoneum, which can give rise to internal infringement of the intestines, the conditions for this can be created both by a chronically inflammatory process that forms fibrous bridges, and by other origins of connective tissue strands.
H. Lohnstein. New method of treatment of calloused strictures of the urethra. "Physician's Newspaper", Nos. 42 and 43
Abstract
The author was convinced that, as bougienage does not give a lasting result in the treatment of urethral strictures, not one of the methods of operative intervention is able to destroy the infiltrate leading to shrinkage, and most importantly, to prevent the fusion of the region of the strictures produced. Having developed his own method of treatment, the author suggests it as the most conducive to the elimination of at least functional symptoms of suffering.
V. M. Platonov. Spinal and cerebral anesthesia. "Surgery", vol. XII, No. 70
Abstract
The question of spinal anaesthesia, which began in 1885 in the practice of the American L. Corning is far from being developed, and spinal aesthesia is not often used in surgical practice, especially in Russia, where most have a negative implication.
V. M. Chekan. To the surgery of lung tumors. Sarcoma of the lung. Carrier in the right inguinal area. Lung resection. Resection of a tumor in the inguinal area. "Surgery", vol. XII, no. 70
Abstract
The beginning of the scientific development of lung surgery dates back to 1873, when Mosier and Hüter performed the first pneumotomy for superficial bronchiectasis. Experimental observations on animals belonging to Glück, Schmidt, Block and others, have proven the possibility of pulmonary surgery and the endurance of the lung to surgical intervention.
Е. I. Kanskiy. Note on Chlumskiy's intestinal magnesia button. "Russian Surgical Archive", b. 5
Abstract
In offering a magnesia intestinal button, Chlumsky talks about a mild sucking up in the gastrointestinal tract. However, Zeldovic's observation of the unequal destruction of the magnesia button that has been isolated in three cases leads to doubts about the correctness of Chlumsky's conclusions.
V. D. Dobromyslov. On the doctrine of primary sarcomas of the stomach. "The Russian Surgical Archive", b. 5
Abstract
Primary stomach sarcoma is a rare disease. Currently, only 60 cases of this kind are described in the literature. As for the pathological-anatomical type of sarcoma, the round and spindle-shaped cells (the most common type), lymphosarcomas, myosarcomas and angiosarcomas (the least frequent) are described.
А. B. Arapov. A case of septicaemia caused by Escherichia coli (bacterium coli commune). Russian Surgical Archives, b. 5
Abstract
Any clinical confirmation of experimental data on increased virulence of saprophyting microorganisms is very valuable both from the point of view of microbiology and from the point of view of clinical diagnosis. Such is the case of Dr. Arapov, described by him in the cited article.
M. V. Evreinov and M. M. Botezat. To casuistry of anomalies of the common carotid artery. "Russian Surgical Archives", b. 5
Abstract
The described anomaly consists primarily in the fact that a. carotis communis sinistra begins from the aortic arch not as an independent trunk, but departs from the unnamed artery at a height of 1 ctm. and rises to its place, crossing the trachea.
Dr. V.F. Velyamovich. On the necessity of a legislative norm for high degrees of hypermetropia in relation to military drill service
Abstract
As for the current Russian laws on anomalies in the organs of vision that allow or restrict the ability to perform military service, hyperopia, for which the law does not specify a predetermined degree, is completely ignored, compatible with the requirements of military service. Any hyperopia, no matter how high its degree of abnormal refraction, is recognised as extremely suitable for military service, unless it has a normal visual acuity without glasses.
Dr. A.I. Sychev. Case of osteoma of the eye socket. (Bulletin of Ophthalmology, 1901, November-December)
Abstract
In Dr Sychev's case, the right eye of a 24-year-old patient was completely displaced from the orbit and, being in the eye slot, rested on the cheek in the fossae caninae area. The eye was red, painful at the touch, blind and had a cornea of leucoma centrale.
Review of works on diagnostics, particular pathology and therapy of circulatory system diseases for 1901
Abstract
I. Аіkmаn. (21) draws attention to the weakening of the respiratory movements of the 2nd and 3rd left intercostal space with pericarditis, when there are still no usual signs of inflammation, such as dullness and noises. These symptoms can appear only after a few days (after 2 - 4) after the beginning of changes in respiratory movements. During recovery, the weakening disappears — with the return of pericarditis, it appears again.
