The editorial staff of the Kazan Medical Journal, Kazan State University and the entire science of the USSR suffered a heavy loss: at 4 pm on July 22, an outstanding scientist of the Union, Professor of Physiology of Kazan and 1 Moscow Universities, co-editor of the Kazan Medical Journal, unexpectedly died of an attack of angina pectoris in full bloom "Alexander Filippovich Samoilov. In his person, physiological science has lost a brilliantly erudite scientist, whose work in the field of electrophysiology gave him a world name.

Despite the comparatively rich sectional material, which has been sufficiently studied pathoanatomically, the intravital diagnosis of an aneurysm of the heart itself is still rarely described. Pletnev., Who collected 300 published cases, found only eight (of them 4 of his own), where the diagnosis of heart aneurysm was made during his lifetime .. In the subsequent literature there is also a report by Laird M., Morris, Sabot about heart aneurysms, clinically, however, not recognized and being only random sectional finds. Jaksch-Wartenhorst in 1928 published his 2nd case of intravital diagnosis based mainly on the X-ray picture of the disease. Dr. Ivanov in 1929 also reported two cases diagnosed by him as an aneurysm of the heart, of which one was not confirmed by autopsy, and in the second case, instead of the suspected aneurysm of the right ventricle, an aneurysm of the interventricular septum was found at autopsy.

In recent years, we have seen an increase in the incidence of epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis among the pediatric population; moreover, by now we have a fairly rich and diverse arsenal of therapeutic measures that needs to be evaluated and re-evaluated. This is why epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis is a frequent topic in the periodic medical literature.

Horny formations in humans in the form of cutaneous horns attracted the attention of observers by the strangeness and quirkiness of their picture even in ancient times. The first more or less reliable case of a cutaneous horn in humans, described in ancient literature, Lebert refers to the 13th century. To date, the literature has accumulated a significant number of cases of cutaneous horns with different localization, developmental pattern, structure and attitude to the underlying tissue. There is also a special tendency of the cutaneous horn to cancer metamorphosis (Darier).

The classifications of diseases of organs or organ systems in various departments of medicine are important not only for working schemes, but also represent the well-known result of the theoretical work of medicine in this area. As new material accumulates, these classifications are processed and take on a new form.

Research methodology. Physiological processes of nervous activity are determined by the reactive interaction of the nervous system both with the internal environment of the same organism and with the external environment surrounding it. They manifest themselves as qualitative or mental phenomena that are causally dependent on the functional state of the reactive properties of the nervous system and, in particular, the brain. Thus, mental phenomena can be objective symptoms of the functional state of the nervous system. In this sense, it becomes possible to talk about psycho-physiological processes and about psycho-physiological states of a person and their disorders.

One of the most important moments in achieving healthier work and life of students in higher educational institutions is the medical examination of students, which is the necessary method of medical examination and observation of students, in which students receive all the necessary types of preventive and curative care.

On March 13, 1930, patient B., 47 years old, a postman, was admitted to the Therapeutic Clinic of the Institute. The patient's complaints boiled down to the fact that each meal causes her immediately after swallowing coughing fits, ending in vomiting eaten. The cough also occurred outside meals in fits and was distinguished by its sharpness and special resonance. Sometimes a small amount of thin and light-colored sputum came out with a cough. Since bouts of coughing with vomiting while eating were very exhausting the patient, then, being afraid of them, she almost completely stopped eating, especially since her appetite had disappeared.

Along with the prevention of alcoholism, expressed in raising the cultural level of the population, improving work and life, widespread anti-alcohol; propaganda, development of a sufficient network of schools, clubs, libraries, reading rooms, radio, anti-alcohol education of growing youth, etc., we also must not forget about the treatment of the already existing cadre of alcoholics. The treatment of alcoholism has been practiced since ancient times. A galaxy of outstanding minds from different eras were looking for a "philosopher's stone" that could heal alcoholics from their illness; and in spite of disappointment after disappointment, mistake after mistake, the pursuit of the elec- syr of sobriety continues and does not stop for a minute. Treatment of alcoholics simply reached the point of absurdities, for example, several centuries ago, alcoholics were treated with an extract of frog maceria in alcohol, a spoonful 2 times a day. In England, for a long time, some prominent scientists pinned their hopes on cocoa as a means that could replace and supplant alcohol. Some pundits in their time opposed vegetarianism to alcoholism, believing that with a vegetarian diet, alcoholism cannot take place, but we do. we see just the opposite, for the most underpowered strata of the population, by virtue of necessity due to lack of funds, who eat vegetarian food, are the most susceptible to alcoholism.

The difference between this book and others is that the author and his collaborators Matthias, Gebhardt, Trumpp, Aubry, Hohmann do not analyze the functions of all muscles and do not strive to ensure that all of them work, but direct all attention to correcting incorrect posture. They only describe exercises that stretch shortened muscles and strengthen unilaterally overstretched and weakened muscles.
