The first and most important feature of clinical and professional characterization is the synchronous (simultaneous) study of the profession and the professional. The underlying methodological premise here is a dialectical understanding of the relationship between the job and the worker as two mutually influencing complex "series", each of which more fully reveals its "content" through the study of the "content" of the other.

The question of the possibility of addiction to lead is almost completely undeveloped in the literature, both Russian and foreign.

For the survey we took the diets at the Borets plant, a medium-sized plant in terms of capacity, and at the Electrocombinat plant, a giant plant. All the research work was carried out in the "field" at work, more often in the canteen, sometimes in the shop. For the canteen "Borets" the whole composition of patients who used dietetic food (74 people) was studied. For Electrozavod - 62 people.

Judging by the Russian literature available to us, tularaemia in the Soviet Union is relatively rare, poorly described, and therefore little known to the general medical community. In the majority of Russian works, however, clinical descriptions are given mainly by bacteriologists and participants in special teams or committees set up by medical organizations to investigate this plague-like disease. Apparently, this can explain the heterogeneity in the description of the clinical picture when summarizing these works and the absence of a firmly established and strictly pathogenic for this disease complete picture of the disease. Observing tularemia for three years among cannery workers of the Kurgan plant, we had an opportunity to trace the fullest variety of clinical forms of this disease and note the features in epidemiology and clinic, still not covered in the literature of this issue. This work is based on our material of 1932 and the end of 1931.

In recent years, the issue of helminth infestation in children has received considerable attention in the pediatric literature. A number of authors cite various numbers of helminth infestations found in different areas of the USSR, and it must be said that these figures are impressive, ranging from 70 to 100%. Such frequency of finding helminth carriage gives the right to say, without fear of special exaggeration, that almost the entire child population is infected with worms. The preventive measures carried out in our country in this respect are undoubtedly correct and valuable. The only question that arises is on the basis of what data it is possible to diagnose the presence of worms in a particular child.

Currently, given the complexity of the immunobiological properties of luteal sera, colloidal physical and chemical reactions are of great importance in the serological diagnosis of syphilis. Such reactions have been suggested quite a lot and some of them are considered to be very valuable. We had the opportunity to check on the material of 163 studies a modification of the Meinicke-sedimentation lucidation reaction.

Prof. A.V. Vishnevsky suggested me to make observations on the effect of novocaine block of the nervous system on the course of bone and joint tuberculosis. While performing this work, I used the following technique: a patient is laid on the operating table, the field is prepared with alcohol and iodine. With an ordinary ten gram syringe I made injections (1/4% novocaine solution in Ringers fluid) above the affected foci circularly, successively tightly infiltrating the skin and subcutaneous tissue-surface block. If this was accompanied by injections under the aponeurosis and deeper-depth block. In other cases I limited myself to tight infiltration around the affected lesions.

Strumose ovarian tumors, despite their rarity (only about 70 cases are described in the world literature), attract researcher's attention in attempts to find out tissue histogenesis. It is quite natural that presence of newly-formed tissue, histologically similar to the thyroid gland tissue, causes the necessity to carry out chemical examination of this tissue in order to detect iodine in it.

Anterior staphylomas of the eyeball, representing the final chord of severe lesions of the cornea and adjoining parts of the sclera, occur quite frequently in the daily practice of an ophthalmologist. Without dwelling on the enumeration and analysis of numerous ways of surgical treatment of ocular staphyloma, we must still note that all of them, despite the seriousness and complexity of the intervention, do not give practically satisfactory results.

A girl, D. K., 11 years old. 2 m., Tatar, student, born in Yalta, came under our observation in January 1931. The father is 32 years old, the mother is 27 years old. Mother observes her early sexual development. Her mother had been menstruating since she was 12 years old. Mother was married at age 15 and gave birth three times. Our sickly eldest. The last two children are healthy. Mother is inclined to obesity. The parents, as well as other relatives on the ascending and lateral lines, have nothing pathological noted. Syphilis is denied.

In this brief article, I would like to share a description of a case of esophageal leucosis, but before proceeding to describe it, it is necessary, at least cursorily, to dwell on the classification offered by Schlesinger. Lues affects the esophagus usually in its late stage. This lesion may present itself as a gummosis-ulcerous process; further, we observe cases with a predominance of scarred strictures; finally, forms are described for which the formation of fistulous passages with other organs is characteristic. These three types, intertwined with each other, form new, combined forms of esophagoluez.

There are many reasons for convening such congresses as this. We come here to renew old friendships-talk on the sidelines when we should have been listening to papers elsewhere; we come to establish new friendships, which will become old ones soon enough and will be an even greater apology for our being on the sidelines at future congresses; we come here to complain together about the intolerable burden that literature places on our libraries and on ourselves, being quite sure that twenty years from now, unless something decisive is done, the burden will be many times worse; we come here to see and welcome Pavlov and other famous people; we come here to decide where the next congress should be held; we come here to make papers or to make demonstrations, maybe even just to hear papers and watch demonstrations.

Bugaysky's book represents the first experience of a Soviet psychiatrist to give a system of labor therapy for neuropsychiatric patients, based on the provisions of Marxism-Leninism and using in the clinic the methods of communist education and socialist forms of labor. Despite the fact that it is the first experience, it was very successful, and Bugajsky's book serves as the best proof that Soviet psychiatry is capable of independent creativity, leading to the reconstruction of psychiatry in the USSR and to the creation of a new Marxist-grounded psychiatry.

The authors, using conventional methods of culture of tubercle bacilli (bac), found them in blood clots taken from the hearts of subjects who had died of various forms of tuberculosis.

Binet and Marek injected nitric acid salts of uranium under the skin of rabbits and caused acute intoxication (albuminuria, glucosuria, anuria and death).

The author recommends pharadization of the bladder up to the point of pain in nocturnal urinary incontinence in children, with this kind of painful pharadization serving only to strengthen the bladder.

A.a. studied 500 cases of neuro-lues'a at the Mayo Dermatology Clinic. Of these, 361 (72%) had never been treated before coming to the clinic; 65 (13%) had only mercury and iodine treatment; 59-(12%)-mercury treatment and insufficient arsenic treatment. Fifteen cases only (3%) received arsenobenzene treatment; thus, 85% of all cases did not use arsenobenzene.

The author proposes a subcutaneous dipstitch by passing a needle with a thread with a knot on the end from one edge of the wound and the subsequent continuous suture through the corium and subcutaneous tissue without poking outward. The end of the thread is tightened with a knot on a clamp.

The author proposes to use the apparatus he designed in order to reduce the time of local anesthesia and simplify its technique.

The author suggests, before opening the gastric lumen, to perform a puncture of the submucosal vessels.

The authors performed 8000 spinal anesthesias over 25 years. In 4500 cases stovain was used, in 3300 cases novocaine, in 200 cases tutocaine.

The author, in order to temporarily bleed the operating field, made, as suggested by Borschears, injections of 400.0 - 500.0 physiological solution of table salt + 30 + 40 drops of suprarenin. The author was convinced on his own material that the operations were bloodless and much faster and he had never seen any local or general complications.

The author reviews the available literature and believes that the hitherto dominant theory of airborne routes of infection is unproven and is strongly objected to by the clinic.
