Experience of blood transfusion in a collective farm village during the harvest campaign
Abstract
Relevance of the problem of rapid recovery of ability to work dictates the need to use blood transfusion in the daily practice of health care. Wide popularization and practical application of this method in modern conditions of collective farm village is imperative. This task can be solved by district district hospitals.
On the effect of Urzols on the connective tissue of the eyes (based on a survey of workers at Kazan Fur Factory No. 2)
Abstract
Harmful effect of Urzene on human body is confirmed by many observations. Workers employed in the fur industry, where different types of Urzene are used for dyeing furs, have skin diseases in the form of eczema and respiratory tract diseases in the form of rhinitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis and asthma.
Gravidanotherapy
Abstract
As any new method of treatment, gravidanotherapy is met with varying opinions. Some expect "miracles" from this method of treatment, believing that gravidanotherapy has found a new all-encompassing, excluding all other methods of treatment. On the other hand, there is an undeniable tendency to downplay or even completely deny the importance of gravidanotherapy. Finally, some authors consider gravidanotherapy as a method giving only subjective improvement of patients' well-being, the success of which is based on mass psychotherapy. Meanwhile, there is no doubt that gravidan, given its composition, should have a significant effect on the human body. It is only necessary that clinical observations and experimental verification give an unbiased assessment of the action of the drug and determine the place of gravidanotherapy in the arsenal of means of modern medicine.
Treatment of gastric and 12 duodenal ulcers with gravidan
Abstract
Gravidan - a preparation of urine of pregnant women - was proposed by A.A. Zamkov in 1929 for therapeutic purposes in some internal and other diseases. We still know very little about the properties, composition of gravidan and even less about the nature of its effect on a sick and healthy body. The urine rich in various hormones of pregnant women has a favorable effect on many organs and tissues and, especially, as it has been revealed recently by a number of Russian and foreign works, on vegetative and central nervous system.
Gravidan in the therapy of some internal diseases
Abstract
We set ourselves the task of studying the reaction of patients to gravidan and finding out its value as a therapeutic agent in a number of diseases. We focused on such sufferings, which occur frequently in practical activity of an internist and are of great social importance. These are diseases of the stomach, 12 duodenum, biliary and liver diseases, arteriosclerosis, cardiac disorders and some others.
Experience with gravidan in typhus fever
Abstract
In spite of the fact that so far there is no full theoretical substantiation of gravidan action, it still has been used with good effect in many sufferings, especially in disorders of endocrine and nervous systems and general loss of strength. Therefore, it seemed to us not without interest to test gravidan in infectious diseases, which often cause significant damage to the most important systems of the body (cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, etc.) with prolonged loss of ability to work even after the end of the underlying disease. Typhus typhus, as one of the most severe infections, was the first to attract our attention.
Gravidanotherapy for mental illnesses and addictions
Abstract
In psychiatric and narcological practice, where the arsenal of drugs cannot be considered rich, it was especially important to test gravidan, which received such wide applications in medical practice. The present work is devoted to this question.
On the pathogenesis of pulmonary gangrene
Abstract
Interested in pulmonary gangrene, we examined autopsy reports from 1928-30 of 50 cases with an anatomical diagnosis of pulmonary gangrene. These were mostly individuals under the age of 50 (34 of 50) who were actively working. We did not find in this material confirmation of the view about predominant pulmonary gangrene of old, starving, with swallowing paralysis or brain diseases; in none of the cases was found any foreign body or food particles in the airways - complete contradiction to the authors' views on aspiration as the main pathogenetic factor.
Red blood changes in acute rheumatism
Abstract
The question of rheumatism has recently attracted more and more attention of researchers. Rheumatic infection (r. i.), causing a febrile process, affects the bone marrow (Arinkin), which is quite sensitive and responds to it quickly. There are relatively few works and observations on blood changes in patients with acute rheumatism (r. p.) and the authors pay more attention to changes in the white blood.
Typhus seroprophylaxis
Abstract
Numerous experiments with active immunization against typhus (s. t.), as is known, have not yet yielded definite results. Neither various vaccines (blood serum, defibrinated blood of typhus patients, inactivated organs of typhus mumps) nor various vaccination methods, contrary to the initial encouraging results, have been able to confer lasting immunity to typhus.
Measles prophylaxis with reactivated serum
Abstract
In the search for different ways to prevent measles, passive prophylaxis is the most developed method. Timely and sufficient administration of serum from measles revivals is a valid measure to prevent or reduce the severity of the disease. But, unfortunately, we cannot have a sufficient supply of serum from the recuperators, because of the difficulty in obtaining blood from children. All attempts to replace recuperative serum with serum obtained by immunizing animals have failed. Therefore, Degquitz's proposal to replace recuperative serum with adult serum has found a lively response among pediatricians.
The use of bismoverol in the treatment of syphilis
Abstract
Of the patented bismuth preparations released by our chemical industry, bioquinol currently enjoys the greatest prevalence. However, the effectiveness of bioquinol does not fully satisfy clinicians, and along with brilliant reviews about this drug (Brychev), there are restrained (Golschmid) and sharply negative assessment of it (Mrongovius).
Clinic, prevention and treatment of gonorrhoeal urethral strictures
Abstract
By stricture we mean a persistent narrowing of the urethral lumen caused by organic changes in the canal wall with the development of connective tissue and scar formation. According to the origin, strictures are divided into congenital and acquired, and the latter into inflammatory, traumatic and chemical; clinically, they are divided into permeable and impassable and 1) without residual urine and 2) with residual urine; the latter can be: a) with infection and b) without infection. Numerous statistics show that congenital strictures occur in no more than 5%. Among the acquired strictures, gonorrhoeal strictures are on the first place according to their frequency; on the average, they are from 70% to 95%. Traumatic strictures are in the second place - they occur in 3% to 12%. In last place are strictures of chemical origin.
White blood picture during surgical operations under local anesthesia by the creeping infiltration method of Prof. A.V. Vishnevsky
Abstract
Having comprehensively developed the question of anesthesia by the creeping infiltration method, our clinic uses this method of anesthesia in all cases, with very few exceptions. There is a large literature on changes in the blood picture after operations, especially in general anesthesia. Except for the pronounced general phenomena on the blood side the increase of leukocytosis, left shift increase, etc. take place here. During operations under local anesthesia the role of surgical and mental trauma and intoxication as a result of absorption of the injected solution are often pointed out.
Postoperative paralytic ileus as an indication for enterostomy
Abstract
Every practicing surgeon has experienced many difficult minutes dealing with a formidable complication in the postoperative period - paralytic ileus. How many worries, incipient doubts are caused by prolonged nausea, vomiting, flatulence, lack of gas and stool after surgery. The severity of the surgeon is also that intestinal paresis can occur after any operation and any method of anesthesia, in rank-and-file and technically armed surgeons. For example, Nazarov observed paralytic ileus after operations with impinged hernia, appendectomies, ovariotomies; Bakushinsky - after gastroenterostomy, bowel resection, dissection of adhesions; Zhukov - after cholecystectomy, choledochotomy. Some types of operations, such as major gynecological and urinary tract operations, especially predispose to intestinal paresis (Broun, Zhukov).
Experience of Novocain block for some gynecological diseases
Abstract
The works of Prof. Speransky school gave new understanding of etiology, pathogenesis, clinic and therapy of pathological processes. These works establish that 1) many and various pathological processes in their origin are entirely due to neural influences and 2) neurotrophic component enters as the main one, in all pathological processes without exception, being from the beginning to the end the factor determining their condition. As a result, new ways of influence on the course of pathological processes are outlined.
Sensitivity to pain during operations under local anesthesia according to the method of Prof. Vishnevsky
Abstract
In the symptomatology of diseases, pain has always attracted the attention of researchers. In recent years, there have appeared many works devoted to the problem of pain. The latter is of topical importance in evaluating the method of pain relief during surgical operations. Sensitivity to pain varies greatly, often depending on many endogenous and exogenous factors. Therefore, the behavior of the patient, especially those with hypersensitivity to pain, during surgery under local anesthesia can discredit the method of anesthesia.
Experiments on the cultivation of the typhoid virus
Abstract
Starting experiments on cultivation of typhoid virus on nonpathogenic microorganisms, we settled on yeasts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae-race: M and II species (the yeasts used by Zilber, Vostroukhova and Dosser for cultivation of smallpox vaccine and typhoid virus were not yet known to us). H. Oettinger PH 7.6 broth and the same broth with 1% glucose added were used as nutrient media; otherwise, we adhered to the methodology proposed by Silber and Dosser.
Chemical way of distinguishing nerves (N. vagus from N. sympaticus)
Abstract
In 1920, Prof. A.G. Molotkov proposed and introduced into the system, as a method, the transection of various abnormal nerves, mainly sensitive ones, in the composition of which, in his opinion, special trophic influences should take place. Having applied this method at the beginning for the treatment of such obviously neurotrophic disorders, which develop after traumatic injuries of various nerves in the form, for example, of a perforating heel ulcer, later on he extended it to various kinds of pathological processes not healing and not subject to any other treatment methods, such as varicose ulcers of the shin, spontaneous gangrene, panaric lesions, tubercular ulcers, malignant tumors, etc.
Notes from the surgeon's outpatient practice
Abstract
The problem of early diagnosis is the most burning problem of our time for doctors. Vague complaints, vague signs-that's what we have in the early stages of the disease. An early diagnosis (at least a presumptive one) is rarely made on the basis of objective symptoms. They are often not yet present. Analysis of the "subjective picture of the disease" is of primary importance. A number of minutiae, details often determine the picture of the disease. Clear logic, rather than a microscope, can illuminate their significance. The experienced eye of the doctor must see the disease before it is detected by X-rays Skilful questioning of the patient, thoughtful analysis play an important role. No success of objective diagnosis detracts from the importance of the subjective picture of the disease.
Rheumatism in children
Abstract
Although rheumatism is not one of the diseases frequently encountered in children, the study of its manifestations in childhood is of great importance and interest for several reasons. Clinical observations of childhood rheumatism can undoubtedly bring us closer to solving the problem of rheumatism in general, which has not yet been studied.
First All-Ukrainian Conference of Radiologists and Oncologists in Kharkov, July 1-5, 1934
Abstract
The representatives from all over the Union, who came together with about 300 radiologists and oncologists from Kharkov, from the first day turned the conference into an All-Union Congress, which in its scope and significance exceeded the First All-Union Congress of Oncologists, which met three years ago in the same city of Kharkov. During these 3 years the questions of oncology were closely connected to roentgenology and radiology, without which the struggle against cancer is unthinkable. Twenty-five reports were devoted to oncology.
The 1st All-Ukrainian Conference of Urologists
Abstract
On the first program topic concerning urology in the Soviet health care system were reports by Prof. I. V. Kudintsev on the state and history of development of urological care in the Ukrainian SSR. Prof. Voytashevsky made a report on the state and development of minor urology. Prof. P. M. Fronshtein, like the previous speakers, pointed out the insufficient attention to the teaching of urology in the system of public health care.
Orthopedics course
Abstract
This is the 2nd edition of "General Orthopedics" by Prof. Friedland. The usefulness and necessity of this one-of-a-kind guide for doctors and students (there are no other books on general orthopedics in the Soviet Union) is demonstrated by the fact that the first edition of General Orthopedics was sold out in the first year.
Le Cancer primitif du poumon
Abstract
This book is of great interest: both clinical and anatomical material is well collected and presented in it. The author used an extensive bibliography: he studied 385 works by authors from various countries. The architectonics of the book is strictly sustained. The material is evenly arranged: etiology, pathological anatomy, symptomatology with indication of various methods of investigation, picture of anomalies and complications, data of diagnosis, prognosis and therapy - all this found a dignified reflection and coverage in the first half of the work, and in the second very detailed and bright outline 46 case histories.
About the precipitation reaction in trichinosis
Abstract
To obtain precipitating sera, rabbits were infected per os with trichins. The usual dose used was 250 to 1000 trichins in one or more doses. The exsanguination of rabbits was performed at different times, from the 3rd to the 26th day, and in one series of experiments even on the 50th day. At the same time, exsanguinated rabbits were examined to determine whether the infection had resulted in trichinosis. Sera of only those rabbits whose organs or intestines were found to contain trichins were tested. The antigen was prepared as follows: the muscles of rabbits infected with trichins were pulverized and then physiological solution with 0.4% pepsin solution and 0.25°/o hydrochloric acid was added.
Factor in normal tissues that inhibits tumor growth
Abstract
A. a. worked with two strains of murine cancer and one strain of sarcoma. The presence of a tumor growth-retarding factor was detected in embryonic and placental tissue. The tissue under study was crushed and dried in a desiccator, after which an extract was prepared in water. Tumor pieces were incubated for a short time in the extract before infecting fresh animals. Such a short contact was sufficient to inhibit tumor growth at all or significantly slow it down.
Serological survey of the Berlin population
Abstract
Over the course of 11 years, 30,000 blood samples from inpatients were examined. The distribution by group gives the following result: Group 0-31.6%, Group A-42.2%, Group B- 14.7%, and Group AB-6.5%. There was no difference in the groups with regard to gender. For the indicated period of time the percentage, the ratio of groups did not change significantly.
Virilism and its causes
Abstract
The authors cite the case history of a perfectly normal woman of 31, having two children, who developed, for no apparent reason, within 6 months, the phenomena of virilism - hirsutism (beard, mustache, whole body hairiness), amenorrhea, changes in facial and character features, weight loss, weakening of muscle strength. Internal organs unchanged, blood pressure 140/95. Basal metabolism was elevated (+ 21%). The most thorough examination did not find an adrenal or ovarian tumor, but the progression of the disease suggests a malignant neoplasm.
Bacilliform discharge without pulmonary clinical and radiographic lesions
Abstract
The authors report an 18-year-old young man who came under observation for coughing up sputum in which VCs were found. No clinical abnormalities of the respiratory system were detected, radiography also gave a normal picture, no t°, no emaciation, general well-being was excellent. The clinical picture was the same for 8 months, and VCs were detected on every examination in the undisturbed sputum.
Embolism complicating a case of artificial pneumothorax
Abstract
The author reported 13 cases of gas embolism (GE) in the course of artificial pneumothorax (AP), of which 4 ended in death. Andrews reported 2 cases with 1 fatality. All these patients had pleural adhesions. In the 8 cases mentioned by Bruns, gas insufflation had not yet been started, but the symptoms of GE had already occurred; in 3 cases they began after the needle had been removed. Apparently, in these cases there was a communication between the pulmonary vein and the bronchus, which was sufficient for formation of GE.
A case of calcification of the entire gallbladder wall
Abstract
There were 2 large stones in the gallbladder, one of them completely occluded d. cysticus. Robb thinks that the cause of obesity was distension and atrophy of the gallbladder wall. The author explains calcification as a result of d. cystici blockage resulting in distension and atrophy of the gallbladder wall.
Influence of tobacco smoking on the origin of thromboangeitis obliterans
Abstract
The authors note that smoking tobacco causes an increase in blood pressure and heart rate and a decrease in skin temperature in the fingers and toes due to increased peripheral vasoconstriction. The authors confirm these findings with experimental observations.
Role of nicotine in the etiology and postoperative course of ulcers
Abstract
Tobacco smoking plays a significant role in the development of peptic ulcer. The frequency of the disease is in accordance with the constant increase in the amount of tobacco consumed. Out of 153 operated and investigated after surgery, 97.7% smoked a lot (mostly cigarettes, 20-30 pieces per day).
Report of 341 slice nephrotomy for renal tuberculosis
Abstract
The prognosis was more favorable in women than in men, probably because the latter had more frequent genital complications (71%). The persistent cure rate was 50% in women and only 38% in men. In 6% of the cases there was death after an average of 15 years from a shriveled kidney. 38% died subsequently of tuberculosis of the other kidney.
Leukemia and pregnancy
Abstract
Two women aged 32 and 35 years had myelogenous leukemia at 7 and 8 months of pregnancy. In the first case normal delivery at term, in the second by cesarean section. In both cases after delivery, the disease worsened sharply and death in the first case after 6 days and in the second after 24 hours.
Otorhinolaryngologist's experience in a flu epidemic
Abstract
The author, a witness to and participant in the fight against a major influenza epidemic, provides an interesting observation concerning the frequency and nature of the course of a particular or other оtorhinolaryngologist disease during an influenza epidemic.
Pathogenesis and differential diagnosis of post-angina sepsis
Abstract
The author says that recently many people in medicine have been dealing with the question of post-angina sepsis, but despite a number of extensive works by Vass, Uffenorde, Сlaus and others, there is still no clarity here. There is a rich diversity in the questions of where the entrance gate is and what are the ways of spreading the general infection.
