A comprehensive study of the endemic goiter shows that the latter has a certain geographical distribution. Affecting entire villages and districts, it acquires the character of a national disaster, since it bears in itself the beginnings of human degeneration in the form of cretinism, varying degrees of mental and physical backwardness: deafness, infantilism and a number of other constitutional violations.

This work is based on the material of clinical and polyclinical examination of workers of the leading workshops of the Chemical Combine. The main production facilities are aniline, dimegil-aniline, nitroaniline, p-natroaniline, and others.

In the problem of the pathogenesis of cardiac decompensation, we are currently interested not only in issues of hemodynamics. It is known that a cardiovascular patient has various metabolic disorders, carbohydrate and protein metabolism suffers, basal metabolism and acid-base balance are disturbed, and undeoxidized metabolic products appear in the blood in excess. In the light of these data, it is of interest to solve the problem of the state of oxidative processes in the tissues of a cardiovascular patient.

In studying the physiology and pathology of blood circulation, and in dealing with the individual issues involved, we aim to find out on a case-by-case basis how far enough blood is supplied to cells and tissues to deliver nutrient material and oxygen. Therefore, the main thing we are interested in when analysing the factors that make up the blood circulation function is the energy accounting with which the blood moves through the vascular system.

Hematogenous disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis, as a separate chapter of pulmonary tuberculosis, has attracted much attention in recent years, and at present there is a huge amount of work devoted to the clinical picture and pathomorphology of this form of pulmonary tuberculosis. The extraordinary diversity of the clinical and radiological picture and the anatomical variability of hematogenous disseminated (hem.-dis.) Pulmonary TB do not make it possible to offer a satisfactory classification, and therefore we meet different attempts to characterize the hem.-dis. tbk lungs.

Acute disorders of the motor and secretory functions of the intestines are of particular practical interest for a doctor. Being a common symptom in a wide variety of diseases of the intestines and stomach, and often the whole body, diarrhea is one of the diseases that occur every day.

Without going into the details of the analysis of the existing hypotheses about the pathogenesis of trophic ulcers of the extremities, I should note that the scope of this last concept has now been largely expanded. A number of authors refer to trophic ulcers not only as mal perforant du pied ulcers, which are based on damage to the central or peripheral nervous system, but also ulcers of a different origin: varicose, posttyphoid, traumatic and ulcers that developed after burns, frostbite, purulent inflammatory processes (erysipelas, phlegmon, abscesses, etc.).

If the clinic of acute intussusception, which is not an exquisite rarity in the work of a surgeon, can be considered sufficiently studied, this cannot be said for chronic intussusception, which is much less common.

Studying the practical application of blood transfusion led me to examine the blood of young embryos in order to determine whether they belonged to a particular group. Later on, the study came down to determining when the embryos had an isoagglutination reaction, and since the experience was carried out with standard serums and erythrocytes of the embryo, our study was mainly aimed at identifying agglutinogens.

The duration of the course of acute male gonorrhea is extremely varied and varies widely from several days to several months. This duration depends on various reasons. Most authors give different terms for the cure of male gonorrhea.

According to the Laie, lead is used in some form or other in more than 110 industries, but there is no doubt that there are many other occupations in which lead poisoning can occur, apart from those listed by Laie. It must be stated at once that the number of productions and classes where lead poisoning is permitted within the USSR, according to Decree No 265 of the People's Commissariat for Labor of 16 August 1932, has drastically decreased and will continue to decrease. However, since lead cannot be completely removed for the next period of time and the damage will be felt by workers at these facilities, we cannot be indifferent and must deal with the prevention and treatment of lead poisoning.

Being far from syphilidology in my specialty, I had, however, the opportunity to observe not isolated, but massive cases of periarticular nodes. The isolated cases of periarticular nodes quoted by G. Kondratyev, described by a few foreign and Soviet authors, characterize the rarity of this phenomenon in ordinary conditions.

Echinococcus affection of the breast is considered a very rare disease. The number of cases published in the literature is not large.

Uterine rupture is most commonly seen during labor and relatively rare before delivery. A large percentage of mortality with them, reaching up to 80% for the mother, and almost 100% for children, makes us pay special attention to the etiology and diagnosis of uterine rupture in general, in particular spontaneous, in each case of this kind of complication.

In practice, cases of human exposure to rabies are very rare and little described in the literature, where the animal did not bite but only licked completely intact body parts (Savateev). That's what prompted us to describe one of the 9 cases that were in the Sverdlovsk Oblast Mental Hospital in the last 2 years.

The 23rd Congress of Surgeons took place after a too-three-year hiatus, at a time when Soviet health care is on a steep rise, when Soviet surgery is growing and expanding. This was felt both in the intense attention with which the reports were listened to in a crowded hall, and in the lively conversations and warm meetings of colleagues in surgical weapons in the corridors during breaks.

The Conference on Physiological Optics, convened by the State Optical Institute and the All-Union Institute of Experimental Medicine, took place in Leningrad on 25-29 December 1934 and attracted many outstanding employees in the field of physiological optics (ophthalmologists, physicists, physiologists, engineers, lighting engineers, etc.).

The appearance of printed scientists from all universities in general, and from medical schools in particular, is undoubtedly the best indicator of the prosperity of this institution. From this point of view, we cannot but welcome the appearance in sadness of the first issue of the scientific works of the young Arkhangelsk Medical Institute under the editorship of Professor I.L. Tsimkhes, a pet of Kazan Medical Institute.

During the development of infectious hepatitis, hyperazotemia is observed, which until now has always been attributed to accompanying hepatitis nephritis (so-called hepato-nephritis). The possibility of accompanying acute hepatitis with nephritis has indeed been proven histologically.

The role of calcium, platelets, and other factors that were associated with bleeding was not confirmed in jaundice. Carr and Toote found that the amino acid cysteine was the main factor impeding blood clotting. In obstructive jaundice, this amino acid accumulates in the blood and in in vitro experiments and, when administered to animals, causes a deterioration in blood clotting.

The authors prepared a concentrated toxoid according to the Ramon method. Anti-diphtheria serum was added to the usual toxoid (12-14 flocculating units) until optimal flocculation was obtained.

Pneumococcal serum gives approximately the same effect in mice and rabbits, if an indicator of the effectiveness of serum treatment is considered the ability to protect animals from death. In this case, the effect of the action of equal doses of serum in pneumococcal rabbits is the higher, the earlier the serum is used.

The vaccine was prepared from daily broth cultures of pneumococcus by centrifugation followed by dilution of the sediment in physiological solution.

Gundel and Seitz showed that optoquine is the best chemotherapeutic agent for pneumococcal infections. Ethylapoquinine in its chemical structure is very close to optoquin, differing from it only in the absence of two hydrogen atoms.

The author tried to solve the question of whether it is possible to induce the Schwarzman (Sh Ph) phenomenon not only by combining a protein antigen with its antiserum, but also a hapten with the corresponding antibodies.

The authors studied only 9 strains of streptococcus scarlet fever.

In two cases of inoperable rectal cancers, the author has successfully used electrosurgical therapy through the anus.

The author successfully operated extra-articular method in 20 cases for hip fractures.

The author suggests not fixing the limbs with a Desault or Velpeau bandage after the dislocation of the shoulder has been reduced, but rather placing the limbs in an abduction splint at an angle of 45 °.

Tuberculous lesions of the cervix are extremely rare. The author observed a case in a woman, 49 years old, menstruating correctly from 16 years old, virgo; 2 years ago the patient underwent an appendectomy.

The author describes the reactions of Kapeller-Adler and Voge as follows: The burette is poured with 10 HP of the tested woman's urine and 5 HP of bromine solution (Bromi puri 25.0, acetici 200.0, aq. destii. ad 1000.0). After a short shake, the excess bromine is checked to see if there is any bromine needed for the Кnоор's reaction, for which purpose 3 HP chloroform is added and shaken. Excess bromine is recognised by the chloroform yellow to red colouring.

The authors proved that there is no histidine in the urine of pregnant animals, and the Zondek-Aschheim's reaction is also negative.
