Even in the 18th century, some authors, such as Haller, pointed out that the blood in known cases lost its natural color and acquired a resemblance to milk, milky fluid (chylus), mucus or pus, Virchow in 1845, who first presented to the previous , which soon resembled the truth, the real basis. Namely, when opening the corpse of a 50-year-old woman who suffered during her life for more than a year, severe weakness, edema, repeated bronchitis and diarrhea, and in the last time frequent, sometimes lasting for several days, nosebleeds, which had a bulky and spleen pain , they were found both in the vessels and in the heart instead of the usual color of blood, yellowish-white, turning into green color, masses.

Hypnosis in the therapy of mental disorders has not yet received the right of citizenship: it is not often ignored where it could have an extremely important meaning. The conditions hindering this are reduced to the following: 1) the possibility of harmful consequences of hypnotization, 2) the nature of the disease itself, which is unsuitable for the use of hypnosis, and h) the most mental illness. organ, which is expressed in the weakening of suggestibility and in the impossibility of lulling to sleep in the period of illness.

For too thirteen years, the author has been engaged in the application of hypnosis to the treatment of chronic alcoholics of the indigenous Russian population of the most diverse strata of society, from all possible localities in Russia, of various ages, from 17 to 72 years. The genealogy of 760 chronic alcoholics has been studied.

The works of the last day have established two types of cerebral hernias ”—exencephalia, representing protrusion of parts of the brain and cephalocele or cephaloma, which is a congenital teratoid neoplasm. There are few cases of posterior cephalomas.

The case described by the author is interesting for some complications, which accompanied the injury, and for the excellent outcome, despite the severity of the injury and complications. The patient received a wound corresponding to the 7th rib on the anterior axillary line. When the 7th rib and 6th intercostal space were exposed, it appeared to be torn apart, a cloudy liquid with a sour smell protrudes from the wound (when exhaled); Listening to the lung reveals the absence of respiratory noises.

A review of literary material (8th case 'and the author's own observations (from the history of the disease) make him disagree with Mikulicz's opinion that the imposition of an intestinal suture does not relieve the patient from suffering and is only able to prolong them in the majority of these two literatures. In cases belonging to the author, an undoubted improvement in the general condition of the patient and the elimination of local seizures from the stomach were noted.

Chronic suffering of the pancreas (chronic pancreatitis, stones), sometimes existing latently and without causing painful symptoms, in other cases is accompanied by a well-known symptom complex, which is sometimes characteristic of this disease, sometimes it completely simulates a picture of suffering. The characteristic (but not frequent) symptoms of pancreatitis include: diabetes, an abundance of fat and undigested meat in feces, the presence of pancreatic stones in them.

One of the very rare fractures is the fracture of the head of the fibulae. The two-sided fracture in the literature available to the author has not yet been described. The origin of the fracture of the head of the fibulae, on the one hand, may be the result of a strong contraction of the w. bicipitis (with a significant extension of the lower leg and tension of the lateral ligament of the knee joint), and with the other, it can be directly dependent on external violence.

An aneurysm of the abdominal aorta can not easily simulate a neoplasm of any abdominal organ. Since aneurysm is most often formed in the region of the superior mesenteric artery, the organs, the defeat of which must be excluded, include those lying near this place.
