Recent studies indicate a change in the function of the adrenal cortex in rheumatism and rheumatoid polyarthritis.

The authors ' opinions do not always coincide in the assessment of changes in peripheral blood in rheumatism. If leukocytosis with neutrophil shift is considered characteristic of the active phase of rheumatism, and a normal or reduced number of white blood cells is considered for the remission phase, different opinions were expressed regarding the number of eosinophils and the nature of the monocytogram.

Modern ideas about the morphology of rheumatism are presented in the report of A. I. Strukov at the scientific session of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences on the problem of rheumatism in 1958, where rheumatism is interpreted as a large collagen disease, with deep biochemical and morphological changes in connective tissue.

Prostate adenoma is a common and severe disease of the elderly.

Although the lighter course of diphtheria in vaccinated patients, compared with unvaccinated ones, is generally recognized, however, there are two opinions regarding the comparative characteristics of the acute period of diphtheria in those vaccinated with diphtheria toxoid and unvaccinated ones. Some believe that active immunization does not have any effect on the duration of the first (acute) period and, consequently, the cleansing of the pharynx from raids, the improvement of the general condition occurs in the same time as in unvaccinated (E. M. Borok, N. A. Nikitina, N. I. Nisevich). Others note that in the actively immunized, the acute period proceeds more favorably: the raids go down faster, the general condition improves earlier than in the unvaccinated, and the one-sidedness of the tonsils is more often observed in the picture of the throat (A.D. Levasheva, V. N. Azbelev, N. P. Kudryavtseva, N. K. Belaya, V. L. Olshevskaya, E. M. Dmitrieva-Ravikovich, S. N. Rozanov). At the same time, in a larger number of cases, there is a discrepancy between the severity of the general condition and the amount of plaque (with severe intoxication, the raids are limited, localized).

The brilliant achievements in the field of thoracic surgery in recent years have opened up great prospects for surgical interventions for congenital malformations, since these operations relieve patients from a serious illness, make them practically healthy. However, accurate and timely recognition of the disease is a prerequisite for this.

Urethro-oculo-synovial syndrome is often called Reiter's syndrome after a German doctor who described a combined lesion of the joints, conjunctiva and urethra. However, this syndrome was described by the Frenchmen Fissanger and Leroy a little earlier than Reuter, so the term "urethro-oculo-synovial syndrome"was proposed at an International symposium in Monaco in 1954.

The suspensory trigemino-sympathetic novocaine blockade was developed by the author and put into practice in 1953. Its therapeutic value is based on the effect of: 0.25% novocaine solution on the maxillary and mandibular nerves (the second and third branches of the trigeminal nerve) with their branches and other nerve formations located in the sublingual and wing palatine fossa.

Situs viscerum inversus является одним из наиболее редких врожденных аномалий перемещения внутренних органов человеческого организма. Поэтому при неотложных заболеваниях органов грудной и брюшной полостей иногда врач может встретиться с трудностями в распознавании болезни, особенно в тех случаях, когда в анамнезе отсутствуют указания на декстрокардию

The scope of application of the intraosseous method of drug administration is extremely large: intercostal blood transfusion, intraosseous administration of barbituric drugs for anesthesia, administration of novocaine solutions to the bone marrow for anesthesia during operations on the extremities, intraosseous administration of sergosin for pyelography, indigocarmine for chromocystoscopy, intraosseous penicillin therapy, etc.

Professor B. A. Petrov (Moscow) reported on artificial esophagus with cicatricial constrictions (1000 operations for 31 years). Most operations relate to the antetoracic method of forming an artificial esophagus from the jejunum. In recent years, preference has been given to the colon (according to Colling). 100 operations were performed using this method. The intestine is located inside the thoracic cavity: posterior, intrapleural, in the posterior mediastinum.

The last day of the congress was devoted to the problems of bone tumors. A valuable continuation of this day were the meetings of the symposium on giant cell tumors, which was organized by the Central Institute of Traumatology and was held on May 30-31, 1960.

During 1952-57, we observed 53 patients with caseous pneumonia aged 20 to 60 years and above; men-34, women-19. In 6 patients, caseous pneumonia was the first manifestation of the disease, in 47 it was an exacerbation of progressive pulmonary tuberculosis (in 46 — chronic fibrotic cavernous, in 1-disseminated). In 21 cases, the prescription of tuberculosis was 3-5 years, in 26-more than 5 years. In 7 people, caseous pneumonia developed due to blood aspiration during pulmonary bleeding.

Candidomycosis occurs with prolonged uncontrolled and, most often, with the combined use of antibiotics in weakened elderly people and children.

A detailed histological study (hematoxin-eosiin and Van Gieson staining) of mesenteric lymph nodes and vermiform processes was performed in 16 children (7 boys and 9 girls) suffering from chronic nonspecific mesenteric lymphadenitis and mistakenly operated on with a diagnosis of chronic appendicitis, since the children complained of cramping short-term abdominal pain, poor appetite, periodic constipation or diarrhea at normal temperature.

Sick 3., 53 years old, was admitted 15 minutes after being wounded in the chest from a small-caliber rifle. The entrance hole in the fifth intercostal space on the left is 2 cm inward from the nipple, the exit hole is along the paravertebral line between 6-7 ribs. Blood and gas bubbles are ejected from the entrance hole during deep breathing in a trickle. The pulse is 108, barely perceptible; the heart tones are barely audible.

The girl P., 3 months old, was admitted to the surgical department on 21/I-57 with a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction. Three days ago, there were abdominal pains.

85 patients were monitored after rectal surgery performed under local anesthesia with 0.25% novocaine solution (200-300 ml).

At the Ufa Cotton Mill, working conditions are much better than at many other enterprises in Ufa, but the incidence of endemic influenza and the overall incidence (according to 1952-56 data) is much higher. This can be explained by the fact that meteorological conditions at UKHBC do not meet hygienic standards and differ from those at other enterprises. In the weaving shop in the first half of 1957, the incidence of influenza was higher than in the same period of 1956, when the sanitary condition of the shop was worse. The analysis showed that in the compared half-years the temperature was almost the same, and the relative humidity of the air increased sharply in 1957. From these data, it follows that one of the main pathogenetic reasons for the high incidence of endemic influenza in the UKHBC is the high relative humidity of the air, which causes profuse sweating at elevated temperatures and low air mobility. The latter can lead to hypothermia, as workers often go out of the shop into the yard.

85 patients with Ku fever were observed in April — June 1957. Men accounted for 90%. There was one patient up to 10 years old, 8 from 11 to 20 years old, 58 from 21 to 50 and 18 older.

Dr. E. R. Guglin begins his criticism of our article by quoting from it the phrase that " achloride and subchloride diets lead to a decrease in blood pressure, adding table salt to food increases it." To this, Dr. Guglin significantly adds: "The assessment of this fact can be left on the conscience of the authors." What Dr. Guglin wanted to say by this is not clear; but we consider it necessary to note here that this fact has long been well known to everyone (see, for example, the monographs of G. F. Lang, A. L. Myasnikov, M. I. Pevsner and numerous journal articles), And therefore, in the language of Dr. Google, we leave the ignorance of the relevant literature on this issue also on his conscience.
