It has now been established that the development of atherosclerosis is largely due to factors of hereditary predisposition.

In recent years, vitamins Bb, B12 and C have been widely used in atherosclerosis. Vitamin Bb, due to its participation in important metabolic processes, is indicated for heart failure, coronary atherosclerosis, liver diseases, central nervous system (P. Lukomsky, Ducheny, Selis, Pla, etc.).

The problem of studying heart sounds is reduced to the spectral decomposition of these sounds, i.e., to a quantitative and qualitative analysis, which serves as a spectral analysis, and to the determination of the duration of tones and noises and their place in the cardiac cycle, which is possible when studying the PCG recorded together with the ECG. In this aspect, you can schematically imagine the sounds of the heart as they are shown in the figure, where the three main criteria of sounds are reflected (time, frequency, amplitude).

Some elements of the pathogenesis of rheumatism are currently explained by the consequence of the reaction autoantigen - autoantibody (A.I. Nesterov, 1962; T.R. Lavrova, 1962; V.I. Ioffe, 1962; Misher and Forlender, 1963; etc.)

Only a few reports are devoted to the study of changes in the lipoprotein spectrum in rheumatism. Meanwhile, it is difficult to imagine systemic mucoid and fibrinoid changes in connective tissue in collagenoses without disturbing lipoprotein textures.

The accumulation of under-oxidized products in the body, which is expressed in the amount of vacant oxygen (ѴO2) in urine, has been studied by only a few, and the results obtained were contradictory.

A number of authors (A. Ya. Gubergrits, A. B. Shakhnazarov, N. I. Speransky and S. R. Belous and others) recommend using the definition of local leukocytosis to assess the activity of rheumatism.

Congenital heart defects occur only in 1-2% of all organic heart diseases and in 0.1% of children in the first years of life (V. Ionash, 1960).

Vectorcardiography supplements and expands the data obtained during the ECG study, making it possible to analyze the electromotive force arising in the myocardium throughout the entire cardiac cycle.

Open fractures of the hip in peacetime are relatively rare (according to L.I.Shulutko, 1958, they account for 3% of all open fractures of bones).

Although the modern development of general intratracheal anesthesia has pushed spinal anesthesia to the background, it can still be very useful in operations on the lower extremities, especially in such conditions when it is not technically possible to give anesthesia, and local infiltration or intraosseous anesthesia is not applicable.

Plastic based on epoxy resins, widely used in orthopedic dentistry for fixing fixed prosthetic structures, is inserted into the oral cavity in an uncured state.

The balneological resources of the Blue Lake have long attracted the attention of hydrogeologists, biochemists, doctors and organizers of the resort business.

A detailed analysis of protein complexes of blood serum, reflecting the state of metabolic processes, allows you to objectively judge the depth of disorders occurring in the child's body, the effectiveness of the therapy, the reliability of cure.

Antibiotics do not significantly affect the vital functions of most viruses. The exception is viruses of the ornithosis group - lymphogranulomas; antibiotics are now widely used for psittacosis.

Some authors believe that at the present time, due to the success of surgery, old age cannot have an absolute value in the issue of contraindications to surgical treatment, although changes in individual organs affect the general state of the body, reducing its reactivity.

It should be considered firmly established that the onset of pregnancy is associated not only with the patency of the tubes, but also with their motor function. Both of these factors are equally important, their violation leads to pathology. Treatment of tubal infertility must necessarily include restoration of patency and normalization of tubal contractions. Our clinical observations and literature data sufficiently confirm this position.

The combination of two or more congenital heart defects is often found in clinical practice. The combination of acquired defects is even more common.

We have used hydrocortisone injections for heel spurs with good results.

The clinical picture of acute intestinal infections has changed significantly over the past decades. The widespread use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of a large number of atypical, worn out or light, outwardly similar forms (typhoid and paratyphoid fever, salmonellosis and dysentery).

Vaccination disease, which sometimes occurs after smallpox vaccination, as a rule "proceeds favorably. However, in some cases, this complication, despite strict adherence to the rules of vaccination and good quality vaccine, is severe.

In several points of the Mari Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic from the end of April to the beginning of June 1963, 17 patients with spring-summer (tick-borne) meningoencephalitis were examined. The patients' age is from 19 to 28 years. The overwhelming majority of them have a preliminary diagnosis of influenza or hemorrhagic fever.

A further decrease in the incidence of typhoid fever is closely related to the resolution of the problem of sanitation of bacteria carriers.

In 1961-1963. we treated 5 children with purulent meningitis with a complex method (antibiotics, sulfonamides in usual doses).

 Under our supervision during 1960-1963. children over 3 years old were 22%, adolescents - 4.3%, adults - 73.7%. Males accounted for 58%. With bronchoadenitis was 16.4%, with primary complex - 4.3%, with focal tuberculosis - 46%, with infiltrative - 13.4%, disseminated - 5.6%, chronic fibrous-cavernous - 0.5%, with exudative pleurisy - 9.4% and with other forms - 4.4%.

During 1963, 10 890 patients passed through the surgical office of the dental clinic, of which 466 were with acute inflammatory processes of odontogenic origin, 65 (28 men and 37 women) - with phlegmons of soft tissues of the maxillofacial region.

Novokuibyshevsk was initially built as a workers' settlement for 14-15 thousand inhabitants. In 1948, two residential areas were formed in the form of large workers' settlements, located at a distance of 3-5 km from one another.

It is known that many factors affect the level of blood pressure, in particular, the position of the body. We examined 120 women.

Determination of adrenaline and norepinephrine in biological fluids, as the most active of the catecholamines produced by chromaffin cells, is of great practical and theoretical interest.

The monograph by R.A.Kalyuzhnaya is devoted to the study of the state of the child's body with chronically acting hazards that cause intoxication, adverse changes in the reactivity of children, a violation of their harmonious development and create preconditions for the occurrence of serious diseases, in the pathogenesis of which allergy is a leading factor (rheumatism, tuberculosis, nephritis, bronchial asthma, chronic pneumonia, etc.).

May 29, 1966 marked the 70th birthday and 39th anniversary of the doctor. 49 pedagogical and social activities of the communist, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Petr Ivanovich Shamarin.
