Abstract
The southern coast of Crimea (SCC) with its wonderful, dry climate has long gained fame primarily for the fact that pulmonary tuberculosis is perfectly healed and healed here. In the old days, when there were no sanatoriums on the South Coast of Crimea, patients came here and often recovered from a difficult, seemingly irreparable process. Tuberculosis doctors who came here in poor condition, sometimes on stretchers, recovered, worked and lived up to 70 years or more (prof. Fedorov, Dmitriev, Lebedev, Shtangeev, etc.). And now many doctors work here - former tuberculosis patients. There was a time when Yalta was, one might say, inhabited by former consumptive.

Abstract
For three years of work, I collected material at the resort of S.M.V., which consists of 1) the case histories of 80 patients, prosecuted by me personally and 2) of 100 case histories of approximately similar patients observed by doctors Kasparov and Avtonomova (1933 - 34), who applied the same research methodology, assessment of the severity of the case and methods of treatment as I did.

Abstract
Arteriosclerosis can be considered as suffering in which the contractility of the arteries is mainly insufficient; hence there is a slowdown in the advancement of blood and a decrease in metabolism. It could therefore be assumed in advance that hydrogen sulphide baths should have very favorable results if the entire spa complex of influences will contribute to this.

Abstract
Fikovskaya water. For a long time the local population has been using Fikovskaya water with success for the treatment of various rheumatic diseases. The fame of Fik's sources spread to all neighboring regions. The number of patients who come here is quite significant. The local population treats the sick with water in tin baths, heating the water in enameled cast iron. In the warm season, this village turns into a primitive “resort”, where patients undergo treatment without medical supervision.

Abstract
The author of the collar method, the method of segmental reflex-vegetative therapy, and the doctrine of the cervical autonomic apparatus is prof. A. E. Shcherbak. He believed that the cervical autonomic apparatus consists of the autonomic nuclei of all cervical and two upper thoracic segments of the spinal cord, the trunk of the cervical sympathetic nerve, cervical sympathetic ganglia, periarterial autonomic plexuses of the carotid and vertebral arteries. This also includes the autonomic nuclei of the vagus nerve with their peripheral nodes and branches in the neck, as well as our communicantes albi et grisei, representing the centripetal and centrifugal connections of the spinal cord with the cervical ganglia.

Abstract
The experimental work of the Sechenov Institute has established that with calcium iontophoresis, muscles can be artificially enriched with calcium using even a weak current. Further observations showed that, in addition to the introduction of calcium ions with the help of a current from the outside, a redistribution of tissues' own calcium ions also occurs (Pevzner, Blokhits), while the new ionic conjuncture excites nerve endings in the tissues and causes, according to Shcherbak, the so-called generalized reflex of a vegetative nature , which can be called from any part of the body and which has a healing effect. Even more recent studies by Shcherbak established that calcium iontophoresis by reflex stimulates the regulatory functions of the parathyroid apparatus and acts similarly to the hormone of the parathyroid gland. It is necessary to remember the role that is currently attributed to the vegetative system, as a factor affecting all types of metabolism. By acting on the autonomic nervous system, it is possible to interfere with the body's struggle against disease processes (Ratner)

Abstract
Malignant neoplasms of the kidney are uncommon. According to German statistics, there are less than 1% of malignant kidney tumors per 100,000 autopsies. Ravasini found only 22 cases of malignant neoplasms of the kidneys and adrenal glands at 10,034 autopsies. In Lenequin's statistics for 10 years, out of 796 cancers, only one case of kidney cancer is indicated. According to Davydovsky's statistics, out of 2765 cases of malignant neoplasms, only 31 cases are in the kidneys.

Abstract
Surgeons sometimes have to deal with intestinal obstruction caused by ascaris. Helminthic ileuses are quite rare. So, according to the materials of the Obukhov hospital for 15 years, for 511 cases of operated ileuses there were only 7 cases of helminths, in 1 surgical clinic of the Central Institute for Advanced Medical Studies in Kharkov for 5 years there were 5 cases of ascaris for 65 operated ileuses. At the XIX All-Union Congress of Surgeons, Grekov reported 7 cases, Krasintsev about 1 case, Zykov about 2 cases, Mambra about 2 cases and Gregor about 1 case. If ileuses caused by roundworms are quite rare cases, then intestinal perforation with roundworms is even less common. So, in the literature at my disposal, in recent years I have not come across a single description of such a case. Therefore, I consider it interesting to describe the case of intestinal perforation, which occurred for the first time in 10 years of my work.

Biomedgiz. Leningrad branch. 1937 208 pp. Pr. 6 rubles. 50 kopecks. The content of the book is much wider than what the reader has a right to expect, judging by its title. The book concerns not only the measurement of radiant energy and touches on not only issues of interest to doctors working in resorts. The properties of solar radiation under various conditions, the influence of water vapor, ozone, dustiness of the atmosphere, the value of scattered radiation reflected from the sky and clouds, which is usually not paid enough attention, all these and many other issues are covered in detail in the book of prof. N.I. Kalitina largely on the basis of her own long-term research.

Abstract
The authors have developed a method for titrating the toxin and antitoxin of hemolytic (scarlet) streptococcus. This reaction is analogous to the Ramon reaction used in the titration of diphtheria toxin and antitoxin, and its technique is essentially the same. The use of a concentrated streptococcal toxin has great advantages in terms of a significant acceleration of the reaction compared to the untreated toxin.

Showed on a very large number of monkeys that a 5-10-fold injection of ricinoleate vaccine under the skin (0.05-1 cm3 per 1 kg of body weight) protects animals from disease in 61-76% of cases with subsequent intracerebral administration of the virus poliomyelitis; ѵ of all control (not immunized) monkeys developed paralysis on the 5-8th day. The same effect was obtained when the studied vaccine was administered intradermally.

In anaphylactic shock syndrome, a very significant role, according to a number of researchers, belongs to the liver. A. of the present communication is trying to prove this assumption by the operative removal of the liver in pigs sensitized with mutton serum (0.2 cm3 intraperitoneally). The pigs were operated on after 14 days, and as soon as they regained good health, they were injected with a permissive dose of antigen (intracardiac or intravenous).

Abstract
Schiff and Akun found group-specific agglutinins in the contents of the upper intestine. Vitebskiy and Sato pointed out the presence of these substances in meconium and feces of infants during the first month of their life. In adults, these group-specific features are found in the contents of the small intestines, but are absent in the feces: here they are present only in intestinal disorders. Schiff believes that group agglutinins in adults are absent in feces as a result of the action of a special "group enzyme", which is found in the lower parts of the intestine.
