If you take a broth culture of a tetanus bacillus and filter it through a Chamberland'a candle, then, as you know, you will get a completely transparent, sterile liquid with pronounced toxic properties.

Cases of the Morgagni-Adams-Stokes symptom complex are of interest in three respects: firstly, this disease is far from common and has not yet been sufficiently studied (for example, over the past 10 years, the Faculty Therapeutic Clinic of Kazan University had only three cases of this disease); secondly, sometimes, as was the case in our case, patients with this disease present very interesting phenomena from the heart, found during auscultation of the heart, especially direct, that is, auscultation with the ear without a stethoscope; thirdly, finally, the cases of the Morgagni-Adams-Stokes'a symptom complex are interesting because of the instructive picture given by the latest research methods used in cardiology in this disease, namely, sphygmophlebography and especially electrocardio diagnostics. The latter, in cases of the cardiogenic type of the named disease, makes it possible to make a very accurate anatomical diagnosis with confidence.

If at the present time X-ray is considered a necessary diagnostic tool in the clinic for the determination and confirmation of various kinds of diseases (determination of the boundaries of the heart, enlargements of the aorta, tumors, etc.), then we still cannot say the same about the electrocardiographic method. ... The latter is still the property of only a few scientific institutions, laboratories, institutes.

In March 1921, a sick peasant woman was admitted to the Hospital Surgical Clinic with complaints of hematuria, which appeared 3-4 days after a slight malaise. The rest of the patient felt healthy. Objectively, the patient did not represent any deviation from the norm. In particular, her t ° is normal, there are no symptoms of scurvy. For hematuria, cystoscopic examination. Cystoscopy revealed: the orifices of the ureters are normal, on the normal mucous membrane there are scattered red spots the size of a pinhead and larger, very similar to flea bites; these specks are scattered in various parts of the bladder, mainly at the bottom of it; there are no infiltrates around the spots and other changes.

As you know, in the controversial issue of the histogenesis of uterine fibroids, the so-called. vascular theory occupies a fairly prominent place. I am among my defenders of such prominent representatives of natka as Borst, Orth, Lubagsch, Gottschalk, etc. Despite the high probability of such a histogenesis of uterine myomas, it should be noted that the growth of tumors into the lumen of the vessels is extremely rare, and only a few cases of this kind are described in the literature. Various authors, describing tumors spreading in their growth along the preexisting cavities, give them different names — myoma plexiforme, Venenmyom, and R. Meyer suggests calling them myoma intravasculare.

Typhoid epidemic in 1919 - 20 in Kazan and its environs made it possible to observe, as its consequences, numerous cases of damage to the organs of vision, which almost exclusively resulted in the form of suffering of the vascular tract, with a predominant defeat of the choroid itself.

The question of the treatment of various chronic diseases, especially tuberculosis, with drugs with chemotherapeutic properties, has long been in the focus of attention of researchers. Chemotherapy seeks mainly to influence the body with certain medicinal substances, which, while destroying _ pathogens, do not harm the body itself.
