Treatment of acute rheumatism with streptocide
Abstract

About the use of Jerusalem artichoke in the diet of a diabetic
Abstract
For a long time, researchers working in the field of treating diabetes have tried to find carbohydrates that diabetics can absorb better than cane sugar and starch, and these attempts have, to some extent, been successful. The study of the assimilation of various carbohydrates has shown that in milder forms of diabetes, the tolerance to levulosa is significantly greater than to grape sugar. However, when large amounts of levulose are given for a long time, the tolerance in it begins to fall.

Permeability of the blood-brain barrier for sodium iodide in some organic diseases of the nervous system
Abstract
In the physiology and pathology of the nervous system, much attention is paid to the issue of the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Along with the theoretical interest, this question is important for the practicing physician. If, on the one hand, a violation of the barrier leads to a disease of the nervous system, then, on the other hand, in diseases of the nervous system, it is often necessary to force the permeability of the barrier in one way or another in order to enable various medicinal substances (arsenic, mercury) to enter the cerebrospinal fluid

A case of symmetric keratoderma with pronounced changes in the autonomic nervous system
Abstract
The epidermis, as you know, throughout the life of the organism undergoes constant transformation: from the multiplication of basal cells, through the malpighian layer to the granular layer and, finally, to the stratum corneum, consisting of lamellar cells devoid of nucleus and protoplasm, physiologically always undergoing desquamation ... Moderate thickening of the stratum corneum of the palms and soles, as a result of the actual impact on these areas of various physical and chemical factors, is not always a pathological process.
