Representatives of medical art in ancient and middle centuries
Abstract
The personality of a doctor, his ideals and failures in the art of medicine are a very interesting and instructive page in the history of human culture. The figure of the healer of human infirmity and suffering has been subject to various metamorphoses over the course of thousands of years and, as in a kaleidoscope, has taken well-known shades and shapes, depending on these or other worldviews and mentalities created by the diverse living conditions of each given historical era.
To the study of the chromaffin system
Abstract
According to my general plan to examine the organs of the chromaffin system, after a description of the additional organs of the sympathetic nerve-typical chromaffin formations, followed by a description of the carotid gland, where chromaffin elements are built only separately, I should have touched the structure and the so-called coccyx gland in man, as some authors, as we shall see below, consider it also to be a part of the chromaffin system.
A case of endometritis pseudomembranaсea septica secundaria post abortum
Abstract
At present, the following possibilities of infection in puerperas and women in labor are allowed: 1) infection by microbes that normally live in the genitals or their surroundings; 2) microbes brought into the genitals from the outside, and 3) hematogenous (resp. Lymphogenous) or secondary infection originating from any other painful focus.
On the relationship between eosinophilia and anaphylaxis
Abstract
The question of the role of eosinophils in the body cannot yet be considered clarified, despite the very large number of clinical observations of eosinophilia and numerous experimental studies. Of great interest, therefore, is the research by Schiecht and Schwenker, which appeared in 1912, according to which eosinophilia in blood or tissue is associated with anaphylaxis.
On the artificial early rupture of the fetal bladder during normal childbirth
Abstract
Over the past time in the literature, quite definitely, there is a trend in favor of revising the accepted in obstetrics scholarship about the mechanism of the generic act. Apparently, even such scientific provisions, which for years were considered almost axioms, are subject to reevaluation. In the very sense, it would seem, what could be a stable study of the role and significance of the fetal bladder in the mechanism of the birth act? Everything here seemed so simple, clear and, most importantly, convincingly clear.
