Comrade At the 16th Party Congress, Stalin gave the following directive defining the state of our economy: “The development of our national economy is proceeding under the sign of industrialization. But we don't need all kinds of industrialization. We need an industrialization that ensures the growing preponderance of socialist forms of industry over small-scale commodity forms, and all the more capitalist ones. A characteristic feature of our industrialization is that it is socialist industrialization, industrialization that ensures the victory of the socialized sector of industry over the private sector, over the small-scale and capitalist sector. "

As you know, the question of the chemistry of the reaction of Dr. Manoilov (RM), or, rather, the question of its dependence on various components of the blood is not yet resolved. There are several very conflicting views on this issue.

This rare clinical form deserves to be noted not only as a casuistic material, but also because the patient with this form was sent by the TB dispensary to the sanatorium as a tuberculosis one, after 6 months of observation, with a diagnosis of B-II fibro-productive. All the material of the sanatorium is now being developed in terms of the correct selection of patients.

Deep wounds of the neck are of great practical interest in view of the associated wounds of organs important for life (pharynx, larynx, large vessels). Without dwelling on gunshot injuries to the neck, I will confine myself to the analysis of penetrating cut wounds in the neck. Cut wounds of the pharynx and larynx are observed mostly in attempts to commit suicide, less often in murders. Reports from Russian surgical institutions show that cut wounds in the neck are rare, and that wounds penetrating the throat and larynx are even less common.

If all authors agree that the direct cause of prolapse of the genitals in a woman is increased intra-abdominal pressure, then regarding the anatomical moments contributing to the occurrence of this anomaly, the opinions of the authors differ sharply: some attribute here an important role to innate moments, which may be - spina bifida lumbo -sacralis, in which there is a paralysis of the sacral nerves innervating the pelvic floor, then — congenital hypoplasia of the pelvic floor muscles, excessive depth of the posterior Doug-Jas'ova pocket, observed in infantilism and accompanied by a very low position of the levator'a ani, etc .; others see the main reason for prolapse in acquired relaxations and violations of the integrity of the musculo-fascial base of the pelvic floor, especially the levator'a ani and the urogenital diaphragm; still others, considering the prolapse as a hernia, see the main predisposing reason for its development in the excessive width of the hiatus genitalis; fourth, on the basis of the fact that prolapse of the uterus, especially complete, is observed mainly in old women, in the first place among the etiological moments leading to prolapse, put climacteric changes in the ligamentous apparatus of the uterus, walls of the genital canal, etc.; fifths put forward retroflection of the uterus as an important etiological moment of prolapse, sixth - insufficiency of parametric, paravaginal and especially paravesical tissue, which failure is sometimes the result of poor nutrition, hard work, etc., moments that cause the disappearance of adipose tissue, altering the elasticity of the muscle-fascial septum pelvic floor, etc.

There are diseases that seem to accompany the pediatrician during all his activities, either because children are constantly dying from them (tuberculous meningitis), or they quite accidentally have a very life-threatening condition (foreign bodies of the respiratory tract), or, finally, they completely unexpectedly, diseases develop, the nature of which is unknown, such as the so-called bleeding diathesis, Gochkin's disease, pernicious anemia, etc.

In recent years, in the development of the question of the etiology of trachoma, we have experienced new hopes and new disappointments. Despite all the efforts of researchers, this question is generally moving very slowly. He presents, apparently, the most difficult task; it is possible that the futility of bacteriological searches until recently consisted in the fact that the detection of trachoma microbes requires some completely different research methods than those that we usually use.

The III Volga Scientific Congress of Physicians, which met in Astrakhan on June 21-26, 1930, differed sharply from the two previous congresses of the Volga region. The Third Volga Congress met during the period of the final breakdown of everything old, during the period of socialist reconstruction of the countryside, the implementation of the five-year plan, the congress showed that doctors, like the entire proletariat, are, for the most part, ready to actively participate in socialist construction under the leadership of the party and Soviet power.

Abstracts. General pathology and therapy. About contraindications to the use of digitalis D. Scherf (Dioarztliche Praxis No. 1-1930) considers it unreasonable to be afraid of digitalis with sometimes concomitant cardiac weakness of bradycardia, since digitalis contributes to lengthening diastole, better filling the ventricles, increasing their contractions and increasing minute volume, and a trace, and improve blood circulation. In case of conduction disturbances, one should not always be afraid of using digitalis'a, since practice has shown that a complete heart block coming from digitalis'a sometimes improves the patient's condition. High blood pressure is not an absolute contraindication for digitalis therapy, as for reasons unknown to us, digitalis often lowers blood pressure.
