We studied the family history of 1103 patients with peptic ulcer disease (965 men and 138 women) who were treated in our hospital from 1963 to 1970. 217 had gastric ulcer, 865 had gastric ulcer, 865 had stomach and duodenal ulcer, 21 had stomach and duodenal ulcer.

The deficiency of sex hormones in women suffering from peptic ulcer disease, and the violation of the normal ratio between the production of androgens and estrogens towards an increase in the coefficient of androgens, estrogens in men in the phase of exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease give the right to consider it expedient to include female sex hormones in the complex of therapeutic measures.

The gastrointestinal tract, along with the brain tissue, is one of the organs and systems that consume oxygen most intensively and are very sensitive to hypoxia.

We have studied the effect of drinking water containing varying amounts of salt on the activity of certain digestive enzymes in children, with particular attention to the effects of sulfates. Studied 3 groups of children in 3 settlements with different salt composition of drinking water.

Scanning is of great importance for the diagnosis of various local and diffuse liver diseases. Recently, a number of works have appeared, indicating the great value of the symptom of "scanning spleen". But according to a number of researchers [1-3], the more pronounced the parenchymal and vascular changes in the liver, the more often the image of the spleen appears on the scannograms.

From 1963 to 1970, we observed 308 patients with a protracted course of viral hepatitis, which is 10.10% of the total number of adult patients treated in infectious diseases hospitals in the city of Gorky. The greatest diagnostic difficulties are the cholestatic variant of a protracted course, which was found in 2.12% of all patients with viral hepatitis and in 10.13% of patients with a protracted form.

In recent years, there are more and more reports of successful cardiac resuscitation in myocardial infarction [1-8, etc.]. The effect of resuscitation depends on many reasons: the state of blood circulation before it stops, the depth of heart damage, the time of the beginning of resuscitation, its duration, the experience of the personnel and the equipment of the medical institution, etc. P. E “Lukomsky et al. (1969) the direct effect of resuscitation in patients in the acute period of myocardial infarction was obtained in 30%, A.P. Matusova et al. (1965) - in 6%, I. E. Ganelina et al. (1970) - 63%.

The division of reactivation of the tuberculous process after effective treatment for exacerbations and relapses is conditional, since these concepts are interpreted in different ways. We attributed recurrent pulmonary tuberculosis disease of persons who were removed from the dispensary registration in the past or were observed in the 3rd group as relapses, and the deterioration of the tuberculosis process proved radiologically or bacteriologically proven in patients registered with the dispensary in the 1st or 2nd group (with an unfinished main course of treatment or soon after its completion).

The study of the functional state of the cardiovascular system in chronic pulmonary diseases is currently of great practical importance. As you know, hypertrophy of the right heart in chronic pneumonia is associated with the development of hypertension in the pulmonary circulation. However, signs of even significant hypertrophy of the right atrium and right ventricle are not always clearly detected by conventional electrocardiography.

The leading role in the occurrence of postoperative respiratory failure is played by the discrepancy between the compensatory capabilities of the organism and the volume of the decrease in the respiratory surface of the lung in connection with the operation [4].

As you know, toxicosis of pregnant women occurs only in humans with their completely exclusive, highly developed nervous system, with their unmatched brain in other living beings. The role of the brain in matters of human health and disease can hardly be overestimated - it is enormous.

A small number of works have been devoted to the functional morphology of the ovaries in uterine cancer, and the conclusions to which the researchers came are very contradictory. We set ourselves the task of studying the morphological and histochemical changes in the ovaries of women, accompanying a cancerous lesion of the uterus, and on the basis of the data obtained to try to determine the functional characteristics of the female reproductive gland.

Recently, in the treatment of bone fractures, the method of compression is increasingly used. By creating close contact of the fragments, ensuring their complete immobility, it accelerates the regenerative processes in the bone and leads to the healing of the fracture by primary intention with the formation of callus at once.

A common complication of sclerotherapy is the formation of intravenous hematomas (with sclerosing of large-caliber varicose veins), as well as thrombophlebitis, which spreads to the communicating and deep veins.

In this work, we set the task to conduct parallel studies of the content of lipoproteins in the blood serum of mothers and their children during physiological pregnancy and complicated by late toxicosis.

Wilms' tumor in adults is extremely rare. We did not find any reports on the development of Wilms' tumor in an abnormal kidney in adults in the literature available to us. Here is a description of a patient suffering from Wilms' tumor, which developed in a horseshoe kidney.

Congenital atony of the urinary tract has been described as a rare disorder resulting from a lack of development of the neuromuscular apparatus of the ureter.

We examined 39 workers of the chlorine production, in contact with mercury vapor (machine operators and locksmiths aged 20 to 40), who, according to the data of periodic medical examinations, were practically healthy.

We determined fluorine in food products by the method of A.I.Burnshtein (1968). The results of our research are presented in the table.

When considering the general purpose of platelets, their main, if not the only, role in the vital activity of the body becomes obvious - ensuring a normal hemostatic process. It is hardly advisable to conduct sometimes the allocation of respiratory, phagocytic, transport, etc. functions of the platelets.

In improving the outcomes of myocardial infarction, a system of so-called "intensive observation" during the acute period is a necessary condition. The intensity of observation is ensured by the round-the-clock duty of the medical staff directly in the ward, the possibility of continuous instrumental monitoring (ECG) and the immediate switching on of exposure devices (defibrillator, electrostimulator, etc.).

This report presents the results of clinical and laboratory observations of 464 patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) who were treated at the clinic of infectious diseases of the Bashkir Medical Institute in 1970.

Conventional diseases - so in modern epidemiology they designate a group of especially dangerous infections, which includes plague, cholera, smallpox, yellow fever, typhus and relapsing fever. Their feature is the potential for global spread, they can be a source of bacteriological (biological) weapons in war conditions.

The neuropathologist-pediatrician alliance in writing the book under review has been very successful. A book necessary for every pediatrician and neuropathologist has been published, after studying which (you simply cannot read it) it becomes clear how large the number of diagnostic errors is due to the lack of awareness of doctors regarding hereditary diseases.

The country's medical community has suffered a bereavement. On January 28, 1972, the chief therapist of the USSR Ministry of Defense, the head of the department of advanced training of doctors No. 1 of the VMA named after V.I. S. M. Kirov, Hero of Socialist Labor, Academician of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, Honored Scientist of the RSFSR, Professor, Lieutenant General of the Medical Service Nikolai Semenovich Molchanov.

In the city of Kazan, since 1963, the united children's prosecutor's office of the city health department has been functioning. Administratively and economically, the prosecutor's office is attached to the city hospital No. 15 (chief physician - L. A. Baranchikova). The Prosecture serves all maternity and infectious diseases institutions of the city with a total number of beds of 3335. Its staff includes 6 doctors, 6 laboratory assistants and 5.5 rates of nurses. It was formed at the expense of the attached hospitals.
