Reaction on the surface of an inactive living muscle
Abstract
The reaction of a dead muscle was for the first time discovered by the famous chemist Bercelius as acidic, and this understanding of muscle reaction was kept until Du-Bois-Reymond, who proved an alkaline reaction on litmus of a resting muscle; he explained the observed cases of undoubted acid reaction of the latter either by decay of muscle tissue, or its death and rigor, or by its active tension, work. Although such an explanation was contradicted by the experiments of Du-Bois-Reymond in which he obtained an alkaline reaction in inactive muscles killed by him in boiling water, but the ideas about the reaction of the muscle that came from the time of Du-Bois-Reymond have survived to this day.



To the pathological anatomy of the brain in tropical malaria
Abstract
In the last decade, due to the pandemic spread of malaria in Europe, this disease has once again attracted the attention of pathologists and anatomists. A number of new studies have appeared, dealing mainly with questions either of the melanin structure, or of the involvement of reticuloendothelial tissue in the malaria process, or of changes in the brain. As a result of recent studies, a number of authors have noted a peculiar reaction of gliosis tissue with the character of a granulomatous process.



On the value of Kaufmann's test to determine latent cardiac decompensation
Abstract
The task of the clinic is, if possible, to determine the onset of this pathology in the cardiac work. If we and Germans usually speak about sufficiency and insufficiency of the heart, about its compensation and decompensation, these values of the limiting and definite order, the French school puts the question more precisely, treating hyposystoles and asystoles. In recent years, especially much attention has been paid to this clarification of the definition of the state of heart dysfunction.



Functional liver test with phenoltetrachlorophthadeine
Abstract
Functional diagnostics of the liver by means of dyes became possible and gave practically valuable results only with introduction into practice of duodenal probe, allowing to follow excretion of dyes by bile directly at the patient's bedside. Some authors (Rosenthal, Falkenhausen, etc.) used blue, others (Lehne, Hatieganu, Hesse, Wörner, etc.) used indigo carmine for this purpose, and others (Rosenthal, Ryzhikh and Slastnikov) used phenoltetrachlorophthalein and phenoltetrabromophthalein.



Congenital hydronephrosis
Abstract
The causes of hydronephrosis are known to be various obstructions to the outflow of urine, arising in one or another part of the urinary tract, starting from the kidney and ending with the urethra. Depending on whether these obstacles appear to be congenital or acquired, two forms of hydronephrosis are distinguished - congenital and acquired, and, however, it is not always possible to draw an exact boundary between both of these forms. According to Küster, in 530 cases of hydronephrosis 336 cases had acquired hydronephrosis and 194 cases were probably congenital.



To the clinic of perforated ulcers of the stomach and duodenum
Abstract
The issue of perforated ulcers of the stomach and duodenum has recently been given much attention both in foreign and in Russian literature, which is explained by significant increase of this severe disease in recent years. Individual authors in foreign literature report dozens, even hundreds of their own observations. Thus, Brütt reports 165 cases of his own, Steichele reports 60 cases from one institution, while the German statistics of Brütt's report 470 cases and Schaemacher's 748 cases; further, the French statistics of Radoievitch's report 718 cases.



On the signs of postpartum separation
Abstract
Up to the present time we have not had a single sign of separation of the placenta, which would indicate with absolute certainty that the placenta of the woman in labor has already completely separated, and therefore it can be pushed out without danger to the health of the woman. Therefore, in addition to the old, long-known signs of separation of the placenta, such as Schroeder's and Ahlfeld's signs, until very recently, various authors have continually proposed new signs of this kind in the medical press.



On the surgical treatment of significant prolapse of the female genitalia
Abstract
The question of the treatment of prolapse of the female genitalia, which has long attracted much attention from specialists and practitioners in general, has in recent years, for obvious reasons, become even more acute and urgent. The war and revolutionary years, experienced by the country, have involved wide circles of women in systematic physical work, often excessively hard, and medical and, in particular, obstetrical, assistance has at the same time decreased quantitatively and lowered qualitatively. That is why the issue of miscarriages began to be discussed with new interest in special literature, at meetings of medical societies and at congresses.



Statistics on the incidence of progressive paralysis
Abstract
Practice shows that syphilis infection, when it causes progressive paralysis later on, precedes the latter on average 9-12 years. Metasyphilis is known to affect men more often than women. This 2:1 norm seems to have recently increased to a ratio of 4:1 (Bleuler et al.). In Russia, the percentage of progressive paralysis in relation to the total psychosis is 13.8% for men and 4.3% for women according to Zhdanov, or 13.9% and 6% according to Ignatyev.



Liquor diagnosis and its role in the prevention of neurolues
Abstract
The importance of examining the cerebrospinal fluid in syphilis is now unquestionable: this was clearly demonstrated at the 14th German Dermatology Congress in Dresden in September 1925, where everyone, as Iordan testified, "demanded the treatment of syphilis under the control of the cerebrospinal fluid examination". This was confirmed by a questionnaire on the treatment of syphilis organized by the editors of the journal Medizinische Klinik, which asked all the most prominent dermatologists for their views on the treatment of syphilis and in particular on the need for a lumbar puncture, the answer to the latter question being all positive.



My disinfection chamber
Abstract
For physicians working especially in remote places, where hospitals have no devices for disinfecting clothing, linen and bedding, and where there are no means to purchase expensive and cumbersome disinfection chambers for transportation, but where, however, the need for disinfection is acute, I propose a simple device for disinfection, whose construction is feasible anywhere at a low cost. I used this device with success when I was a zemstvo doctor in Vologda province, in a combined hospital during the German war and especially during the civil war, during epidemics of typhus and relapsing typhus and cholera, in district hospitals.



Tuberculosis tuberculosis tubercle study using tissue cultures
Abstract
Recently, interesting attempts have been made to study the interaction between tissue elements and tubercle bacilli using the method of tissue cultures. The purpose of these works, published mainly in the American and partly in the German and Russian medical press, was to clarify controversial and dark questions about the histogenesis of the cell elements composing the tubercle tubercle bacillus. As is known, in this field until recently there have been considerable discrepancies between the views of individual researchers.



Antagonism between the pancreas and the thyroid gland. Lundberg (Acta med. Scand., vol. LXIV, f. IV-V)
Abstract
Antagonism between pancreas and thyroid gland, according to experiments and observations of the author, undoubtedly exists. From here there is a reason to try insulin, with therapeutic purpose, at some diseases of a thyroid gland, especially those which are accompanied by its hyperfunction.



Influence of the internal secretion on the growth-promoting substances of the organism. Uсhida (Berich, ü. d. ges. Gyn., Bd. X)
Abstract
Tissue cultures (chicken embryo heart 8-13 days old) were placed in blood plasma of normal chicken, normal rabbits, and rabbits deprived of thyroid, goiter, and sex glands. Growth of cultures was measured after 24, 48, and 72 hours using a special ocular micrometer. Comparisons were always made with plasma from the same animal before and after surgery.



Dependence of phagocytosis on internal secretion. Ascher, Abu (from Berich. über d. ges. Gyn., Bd. X, H. 14/15)
Abstract
Leukocytes were obtained from the exudate induced in rabbits by sterile aleuronate injection and subjected to the action of sera of various animals. It turned out that removal of thyroid gland, spleen, ovaries and testicles decreases phagocytic ability of leukocytes. Thyroidectomy has the strongest effect in this respect, testicular removal the weakest.



Effect of B avitaminosis on the testes. V. S. Zimnitsky (Virchow's Arch., Bd. 261, H. 1)
Abstract
In pigeons with B avitaminosis, the male sex glands undergo abrupt and rapid atrophy occurring due to fatty degeneration of the generative epithelium; the products of degeneration (fat) are resorbed by interstitial tissue with their subsequent release into the blood.



To the statistics of cancer. Gouanes (in Ref. Zbl. f. Ch., 1926, No. 36), Renaud (Schweizer med. Woch., 1926. No. 5—6)
Abstract
In Spain, from 1960 to 1907, 77,058 people died of cancer (33,555 men and 43,513 women), with nearly 1/4 being cases of gastric cancer. In England, from 1901 to 1909, 21.4% of men and 14.2% of women died of cancer and other malignancies: of the latter, 22% of uterine cancer and 16.8% of breast cancer.






The significance of the endocrine factor in the pathogenesis of malignant neoplasms. Pr.-Doc. Kogan-Yasny (Nauchnaya Mysl, Kharkov, 1926)
Abstract
Analyzing 2 cases of primary liver cancer and 1 case of general carcinomatosis studied clinically and pathologically in detail, in agreement with the literature data the author came to the conclusion that in the etiology of malignant tumors, their growth, development and metastasis the endocrine factor, especially the sex glands and pituitary gland, is often of significant importance.



To the etiology and therapy of cancer. Opitz, Vorländer, Jung (Münch. med. Woch., 1926, no. 36)
Abstract
Based on the fact that uncivilized peoples (Abyssinians, blacks, nomadic Indians) do not get cancer, but develop it when they begin to lead civilized lives, the authors think that the cause of cancer is rooted in some conditions of life, and that these are unique to civilized peoples (food, clothing, etc.).



Spontaneous cure of cancer. O. Strauss (Deut. med. Woch., 1926, no. 43)
Abstract
Having analyzed cases of spontaneous cure of cancer and sarcoma published in the literature, Strauss concludes that while sarcoma is capable of such self-healing, the latter is not observed in cancer, but only partial reversal of tumor development occurs, which has no significance for the final fate of the patient.



Damage to nerves by tuberculous lymphatic glands. A. Arnstein (Wiener kl. Woch., 1926, no. 41)
Abstract
If patients with peripheral paralysis of n. recurrentis and n. рherinii have neither struma, nor aneurysm, nor signs of malignant neoplasms in the mediastinum, then we should think about the damage of the mentioned nerves from the tuberculous changed lymphatic glands.



The use of insulin in tbc. Unverricht (Münch. m. W., 1926, No. 36)
Abstract
The treatment of feeding by diet alone does not always succeed because of the lack of appetite, as is often the case in tbc patients. In such cases the use of insulin, which, by increasing the appetite, promotes the introduction of large quantities of food, is of great benefit.






Dietary treatment of pernicious anemia. Minot, Murphy (Jour. of Am. Med. Ass., 1926, no. 7)
Abstract
The authors suggest that more serious attention than has hitherto been given to the treatment of pernicious anemia should be given to a special, fat-poor diet consisting chiefly of large quantities of liver, fresh vegetables, and fruit. In almost all of the 45 patients who were under their care and were on this diet, the anemia rapidly subsided with a decrease in the jaundice index and an increase in the number of red blood cells.



Determination of blood pressure as a method of determining the anatomical state of the heart. Krossichinki (M. m. W., 1926, No. 35)
Abstract
The author pointed out that heart noises of functional nature lose their character when the forearm is squeezed by the cuff, approaching to normal tones, while noises of organic origin intensify under these conditions. The same applies to vascular valves.



To the treatment of bronchial asthma. Zickgraf (M. m. Woch., 1926, no. 36)
Abstract
While administering Na silicici injections to a patient with open form of tbc, suffering at the same time typical attacks of bronchial asthma, the author accidentally noticed that asthma attacks in this patient in connection with the treatment disappeared and did not recur for 9 months. Further application of these injections in 20 cases of bronchial asthma gave the same favorable results.












Chloroexchange in secretory gastric disorders. Holler, Bloch (Arch. f. Verdauungskrank., Bd. 38, H. 5—6)
Abstract
The authors propose a double technique of gastric function examination, which does not differ much from Kalk's and Katsch's technique. At an interval of one or two days a fractional examination of the gastric contents is made-the first time with water, the second time with caffeine breakfast. Hypacidic and hyperacidic stomachs behave differently in relation to the caffeine breakfast.



A peculiar disease of the liver. Edelmann (Wienerkl. Woch., 1926, no. 43)
Abstract
The author observed a number of cases where there was a peculiar symptom complex consisting of yellow skin (xanthomatosis cutis), severe hypercholesterolemia in the absence of bilirubin, marked hypertension, increased and painful liver, digestive disorders, joint pains, general weakness and neurasthenic phenomena.



A new remedy for the acceleration of bone blister formation in sluggishly healing fractures. Düker (Zent. f. Chir., 1926, No. 36)
Abstract
This is ossophyt (Na glykokolphosphoricum) manufactured by Boehringer in Mannheim. Düker reports two cases of fractures of lower limbs, where after 8 and 4 weeks of unsuccessful treatment with a plaster cast, injections of a 4% aqueous solution of ossophyt in the fracture circumference, made in an amount of 10.0 solution per week (in 1 or 2 instillations) helped very quickly.



Fat embolism. Landois (Deut. med. Woch., 1926, no. 7)
Abstract
Fat embolism, based on a review of this issue from a modern point of view, is most often seen at the age of 20-50 years, due to the abundance of liquid fatty acids in the bone marrow at that age. A 30-40 gram fat is enough to cause a fatal embolism.



Surgical treatment of intussusception. Suermondt (Nederl. Tijdschrift v. Geneesk., I, 15, 1926; ref. in Zent. f. Chir. 1926, no. 37)
Abstract
Surgical treatment of intussusception in children of 2 months to 2 years of age was performed from 1908 to 1926 in 40 cases by Suermondt. The mortality rate was 37.5%; 16 cases were operated upon within 24 hours, the mortality rate being 6.3%; 10 cases after 24 hours, the mortality rate being 20%; 2 cases after 36 hours, the mortality rate being 50%; 7 cases after 48 hours, the mortality rate 86%; 5 cases after 3 days, the mortality rate 100%.



Muscular-fascial suture in the surgical treatment of hernias. Koontz (Surg., gyn. a obst., 1926, no. 2)
Abstract
The author made a histological study of those layers that are usually connected during surgical treatment of inguinal and femoral hernias, i.e. aponeurotic and muscular. This study convinced him that the fibrous components of the former, i.e. epimysium, perimysium and endomysium, play the main role in connecting the muscle to the fascia.



To surgical removal of cancer of the tongue. Z. I. Rybkina (Collected in memory of Prof. L.V. Orlov, 1926)
Abstract
The author believes that Krönlein-Orlov pharyngotomy makes access to the root of the tongue completely free and allows, in case of its cancerous lesion, extensive removal of submandibular and upper parts of the lateral cervical region of one side along with complete removal of the tongue.






On the metastasis of struma. Dreesmann (Med. Klin., 1925, no. 50)
Abstract
The author reports an exceptional case of benign struma metastasis. The case concerned a 30-year-old woman who had been suffering from a struma without any disorder for 2 years. After childbirth the goiter began to enlarge slightly, and in addition, the patient noticed a tumor in the right frontal area the size of a walnut, closely fused to the bone.



Pre- and postoperative treatment of basid disease with iodine. Niсоlaysen (Deut. m. Woch., 1926, no. 16)
Abstract
The author is disappointed in the usual methods of preoperative treatment of Graves' disease. He rejects both resting position, preoperative vascular ligation, and radiotherapy, advising preoperative and postoperative iodine treatment instead.



On the treatment of postoperative bronchitis and pneumonia by autohemotherapy according to Vorschütz's method. Graser (Zentr. f. Chir., 1925, № 45)
Abstract
Vorschütz in 1923 reported about his method of treatment of postoperative pneumonias by injection of patients' own blood. But his proposal did not meet a great response in the press and, apparently, found few followers why Graser's article, fervently recommending this method and based on a large number of observations, deserves great attention of practitioners.



Prevention and therapy of postoperative tetany. Bauer (50th meeting of the German Surgical Society)
Abstract
At the 50th meeting of the German Surgical Society Bauer stated that the cause of postoperative tetany can be not only damage of epithelial bodies but also other things. To prove it he cited cases of tetany after operations on organs remote from the neck and having no connection with the thyroid gland, for example, after operations on hemorrhoids, gonitis, etc., on the one hand, and four own cases of preoperative tetany, on the other hand.



How can infection and other complications of cataract surgery be avoided? Axenfeld (Klin. Monatsbl. f. Aug., 1925, Bd. 75)
Abstract
The author particularly recommends, as an improvement of this operation, the use of a suture-carrier on the superior rectus muscle. This protects against various complications and especially against vitreous body prolapse, reducing intraocular pressure and immobilizing the eye better than other methods of fixation.






Basid's disease and pregnancy. Jülich (Med. Klin., 1925, no. 25)
Abstract
The author tries to answer very important questions for the practitioner, how pregnancy affects Graves' disease, and whether the latter is an indication for abortion. These questions are still debatable, which is why the two cases J. observed are very instructive.






A method of reducing the clamping of the prolapsed umbilical cord. Ruiz Contreros (Zentr. f. Gyn., 1926, No. 37)
Abstract
The author recommends that after inserting the prolapsed umbilical cord, when immediate extraction of the fetus is impossible or dangerous, a 3 centimeter thick and 20 centimeters long gauze pad be placed between the pelvic wall and the presenting part. In some cases, it is necessary to insert two rolls, one in front and one behind.



Etiology and therapy of uterine atony. Haselhorst (D. m. Woch. 1926, No. 18)
Abstract
The author classifies the causes of this anomaly as follows: constitutional anomalies, uterine malformations, uterine diseases, innervation disorders, disorders of a certain group of endocrine glands, and further, causes based on pregnancy, such as uterine muscle distension in multiple pregnancy, in multiple gestation or with a too abundant fetus.



On the uterine ruptures after caesarian section. Lackner (Sugr., gyn. a. obst., 1926, no. 1)
Abstract
To find out experimentally which conditions favor uterine rupture during childbirth in women who had previously undergone a caesarian section, Lackner performed a series of experiments on 32 goats in which the uterus was incised in one direction or another.






Prognostic value of blood picture in the treatment of uterine cancer by radiant energy. Holl (Arch. f. G., Bd. 127, H. 2/3)
Abstract
The author found that a favorable clinical course is given by cases where there is a relative and small absolute increase in lymphocyte counts after primary illumination, as well as cases with relatively elevated lymphocyte counts before illumination.









Hyperthyroidism in children. Dinsmorc (Surg., gyn., a. obst., 1926, no. 2)
Abstract
If before hyperthyroidism in children was considered very rare, now, in the opinion of the author, this interesting and often severe disease should be recognized as more frequent. Usually this disease follows some infectious disease of a child, appears suddenly and develops rapidly.



Advances in the therapy of alimentary diseases in infants. Pogorschelsky (Vr. Delo, 1926, No. 17—18)
Abstract
Proceeding from the fact that the modern nutritious mixtures recommended for diarrheal diseases, as protein milk, buttermilk, Adam's "diétic milk," are poor in fats, and that the ratio of nutrients in them differs considerably from the ratio available in women's milk, the author proposes a mixture he calls "protein milk dressing" (protein milk with 4% flour, 4% sugar and 3% butter, prepared according to the method of Czerny-Kelinshmidt'a).



Radiotherapy of postoperative pneumonia. Fried (Klin. Woch., 1926, no. 1)
Abstract
Following the fashion of using X-ray therapy for the most diverse etiology and nature of diseases, the author decided to test this method of treatment for postoperative pneumonia. The experience was made on 40 patients and gave good results: 80% of patients had fast and significant improvement of general condition, fall of tº, appearance of abundant sputum, etc.



Diathermy and quartz lamp illumination in abdominal operations. Сrile (Surg. gyn. a. obst., 1926, no. 2)
Abstract
On the basis of his experiments on animals and observations in humans, the author finds the use of these agents before and especially after abdominal operations very useful for maintaining body temperature and reviving blood circulation.



To the effect of salt-alkali mineral waters. S.A. Barnava - Troitskaya (Kur. Delo, 1926, No. 2)
Abstract
The author conducted a series of observations on the effects of Essentuki water No. 17 and Batalinskaya. Observations concerned 75 patients with various kinds of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, liver and other organs.









Mutermilch's syphilis serodiagnosis. Palavandov, Matusis (Vr. Delo, 1926, No. 17—18)
Abstract
This method is based on a modification of Nesht and Bauer using natural homolytic amboceptor and human serum complement. The authors tested it on 1009 sera (mostly syphilitic) and concluded that it is more sensitive compared to the classical WR, simple technique, and inexpensive.



Ca chloride in eczema. A. A. Alyavdin (Journal for Advanced Medical Training, 1926, No. 7—8)
Abstract
Having tested intravenous injections of 10% solution of crystal calcium chloride in 31 cases of eczema, with injections of 5 cc every 6-7 days, the author found that the effect of this remedy on eczema was sharply opposite at the first injection and all subsequent injections.



Prof. S. S. Zimnitsky. On disorders of secretory activity of gastric glands from the point of view of functional diagnosis. Clinical lectures for students and physicians. Izd. of Moszdravotdel, Moscow, 1926. 134 pp. (The book is awarded by the Expert Committee of the Central Committee of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences). Price 2 rubles 40 kopeks.
Abstract
The book of Prof. Z. gives a new and bright proof to how important is the application of the principles of physiological experiment to the clinical research, and how productive can be the idea of necessity to find out the dynamics of the disease process, which only leads to understanding of the functional state of a sick cell. As simple as this provision is, it still has to be emphasized in view of the fact that clinical thought still remains clenched within the framework of pathological and anatomical notions and has difficulty breaking away from them. Without diminishing the importance of morphological knowledge in the slightest degree, however, every attempt to push the boundaries of clinical investigation towards the application of methods which allow to find out the functional relations should be welcomed.



Prof. Dr. Morawitz. Diseases of the blood in medical practice. Ed. "Physician" in Berlin, 1926, 64 pp.
Abstract
Prof. Morawitz belongs to the ranks of prominent German clinicians. He is one of the authorities in the field of gematology with a number of major literary works and clinical experience. Therefore, the appearance of his book cannot fail to interest physicians.



S. I. Fleischman. Sudden and acute diseases of the nervous system, their recognition and treatment. Physician's Medical Publishing House, Berlin. 1926, 189 pp, 41 figures.
Abstract
The book is a collection of lectures given at the Kyiv Clinical Institute for Advanced Medical Training. The first six lectures are devoted to diseases of the large brain: hemorrhages, embolism and thrombosis of cerebral vessels, traumatic injuries of the large brain, comas, and encephalitis.

Prof. I. Zappert. Syphilis in children (congenital and acquired). Moscow, Sabashnikov Publishing House, 1926, 146 pp., 1 r. 50 k.
Abstract
This book is a translation of a chapter from the German collective manual of pediatrics, edited by Pfaundler and Schlossmann. The idea of publishing the most successful chapters from the major manuals as separate books should be recognized as a very happy one.






Society of Physicians at Kazan University
Abstract
G. G. Nepryakhin: "A case of right lung hamartoma and peculiar lymphogranulematosis", (with demonstration of macro- and micro preparations). The reporter on autopsy of the corpse of a 39-year-old man found that the right lung was very small, its lobes and lobules were inconspicuous, its tissue was of fleshy density and appearance, without carbonaceous accumulations. The usual lung tissue was nowhere to be found under the microscope, the main mass of the organ was a delicate connective tissue, in which numerous short bundles of smooth muscles, nerve fibers, isolated large cartilaginous plates were arranged in disorder, adipose tissue, small nests of epithelial cells, clumps of lymphocytes, numerous blood vessels, long, narrow, straight or branching bronchial passages with cylindrical epithelium and formations resembling non-breathing embryonic alveoli. There were no inflammatory phenomena anywhere. A similar case was not described in the literature.



Conferences of doctors of tuberculosis dispensaries in Kazan
Abstract
At the end of 1925, conferences were organized at the Central Tuberculosis Dispensary, with the aim of elaborating questions of scientific and practical character and of public struggle against tbc. The conferences were held twice a month with the participation not only of the dispensary doctors, but also of other scientific and prophylactic institutions of Kazan, who took an active part in the work of the conferences. Prof. B. A. Voltaire was elected chairman of the conferences, Dr. M. I. Oyfebach was elected secretary.



Meetings of the Scientific Society of the Rybinsk Doctor's Section
Abstract
Dr. Bronnikov reported a case of Jackson's epilepsy treated operatively. A patient after being wounded with a hammer of the parietal bone first suffered paralysis of the right arm and difficulty in speaking, and after 2 months he had epileptiform seizures every 6 days. In the 4th month, he underwent surgery to remove fragments of the internal lamina pressing on the dura mater, and the defect was closed with a piece of fascia lata with fatty tissue. The patient was demonstrated 3 months after the operation; he had no seizures, his speech was normal, and his hand function had been restored.
