Vol 29, No 8-9 (1933)

On the basis of the greatest successes achieved by the USSR as a result of the implementation of the first five-year plan of industrialization of the country and the socialist reorganization of agriculture, a process of rapid pulling up to the most advanced levels of a number of national republics, regions and regions, which until recently were in a state of economic and cultural backwardness, is taking place. This is the great strength of the Leninist national policy, which proves to the proletarians and oppressed colonial peoples of the whole world that only through the proletarian revolution lies the only path to the complete economic, political and cultural emancipation of the multimillion national masses and their rise in a short historical period of time from primitive and feudal forms of economy to the highest levels of socialist production and a complete revolution in the everyday and cultural way of life.

From the beginning of 1933, professional selection of loaders of the Odessa port was included in the tasks of the psychophysiological station of water transport.

The eye office was then faced with the question of the rules of eye professional selection for port movers. This question made itself felt especially because not a single relevant guideline, not a single official resolution contained specific instructions on the rules for the eye professional selection of loaders in general and port loaders in particular. Therefore, the eye department of the Unified Dispensary and Station took the lead in developing the above rules.

The clinical picture of any infectious disease is, as is known, a reflection of the struggle between two principles — a microorganism and a macroorganism; each of them has its own specific characteristics, and as a result of this, even such pronounced diseases with a specific pathogen, such as relapsing fever, malaria, cholera and typhoid fever, give in each individual case different options, sometimes representing difficult diagnostic tasks. I will only recall at least the last epidemic of typhoid fever in Moscow, when, for example, there were cases where recognition fluctuated for a long time between pneumonia and typhoid fever and only a serological reaction and the further course of the disease clarified the true state of affairs. If this is the case with infections, where there is a certain, specific pathogen, then in acute septic diseases of the internal organs, we can expect a much greater variety of the picture, course and outcome of the disease.

The diseases known as hemorrhagic diathesis have undergone a clear differentiation since the last century.

Over the past 2-3 years, foreign periodicals have provided descriptions of the increased incidence of the 4th venous disease. According to Frei, in 1931, more than 200 cases of this disease were noted in Berlin alone, while earlier this disease was observed very rarely. Since 1927, this disease has been detected in the USSR. Isolated cases are described in Odessa, Kharkov, Kiev, and over the past two years more than 10 cases have been demonstrated at a meeting of the Moscow Dermatological Society and scientific conferences of Moscow clinics.

Osteomyelitis mainly develops in long tubular scars, while in short and flat bones they are rarely observed. Ostomyelitis of the upper jaw is especially rare. Cadenat and Cola say that maxillary osteomyelitis is in the last row in the statistical tables. Trendel found only 4 cases of maxillary osteomyelitis in 1279 cases of osteomyelitis, i.e. 0.3%. Panzel reports 7 cases of maxillary osteomyelitis per 15 thousand patients. Mayer collected 10 cases in the literature until 1901, Francois collected 32 cases in 1914, and Terracol in 1926 already cites 50 cases of osteomyelitis of the upper jaw in his work.

The legalization of abortion is known to have caused a significant decrease in the number of clandestine abortions. However, on a modest scale, clandestine abortion continues to exist to this day, for which the mortality rate from sepsis in case of incomplete abortion, although sharply fallen, still exists.

Blessly claims that the skin is the most sensitive tissue in relation to bacteria that cause septic diseases. Testing studies by Ravin and Bublchenko also showed that the skin reacts very differently to the antivirus introduced into it, so the most severe cases ending in death usually gave a negative or weakly positive reaction.

When determining the iodine content in drinking water, one must first of all take into account the fact that it is impossible to use directly taken water samples not only for quantitative determinations, but even for the qualitative discovery of iodine, since the most sensitive reactions can often turn out to be completely unusable.

The formation of an artificial vagina in the absence of it, both congenital and acquired, is an operation for relatively young people and all methods of operation have not yet received a proper assessment, but nevertheless, even in Russian literature, this operation is numbered in dozens. If we add to this number more unsuccessful cases, which, undoubtedly, are often not published, then we get a fairly significant number.

The origin of eczema is still considered to be heterogeneous. French authors (Gaucher, Darier and others) think that eczema is an expression of "diathesis", that metabolic abnormalities are of predominant importance. German dermatologists take a different view. Jadasson, for example, says (I quote from Bremenor and Shimanko) - “the most important part of eczematogenic irritants belongs to the external world and enters the skin from the outside. Bloch considers every eczema as an idiosyncratic reaction.

Hormones of various endocrine glands, being powerful regulators of growth, tissue nutrition and metabolism in the body and affecting both groups of the autonomic nervous system, the autonomic and sympathetic nervous system, at the same time have either an intensifying or inhibitory effect on the activity of the hematopoietic apparatus.

Gannushkin begins with the fact that “clinical psychiatry is going through a crisis.” Speaking without making absolutely any distinction between Soviet psychiatry and bourgeois psychiatry, referring the so-called crisis to Soviet psychiatry, G. is definitely making a mistake. psychiatry at a time when it is freeing itself from the slavish dependence in which it was previously in bourgeois psychiatry, when we have outlined and are pursuing our own paths for the further development of theoretical and practical psychiatry, and when we successfully apply in psychiatry the Marxo-Leninist methodology, which is outside doubts do not know the crisis and resolves any crisis situation.G. until the last moment of his life could not free himself from the influence of bourgeois psychiatry, he entirely stands under the banner of the old, Kraepelin psychiatry and he speaks openly about this in his book.

J. Abelin reports (Die Naturwissenschaften, 1933, No. I) that during the far-reaching cleavage of an artificially iodinated protein, products are formed, which in their morphogenetic and metabolic effects are very close to the thyroid hormone. glands. When administered per os, these substances increase the basal metabolism, prevent the deposition of glycogen in the liver, increase respiration and blood circulation, etc.

Troisier and Monaldi (Rg. Med., 1932, 96), having changed Lowenstein's method, performed blood cultures of patients who had one or another infectious disease. A.a. describe 3 cases, from the blood of which VC were cultivated: 1st patient with endocarditis (blood culture produced non-hemolytic streptococcus) died of septic cerebral infarction, autopsy did not reveal a single tbc focus. Nth. Croupous pneumonia (pneumococcus), ending in a crisis on the 6th day.

After the evacuation of most of the fluid with tuberculous mobile ascites, oxygen is injected from 600 to 2300 cubic meters. snm .; sometimes to is observed on the same day or the next, which disappears. One or two injections of oxygen are enough to get a cure or a marked improvement.

Capper, Garon and Harold Stewart report (Amer. J. Das. Child. 44, pp. 798-805) of a case of primary myocardial tuberculosis with an unaffected pericardium. The case refers to a 3 year old. a black woman without a tuberculous history. With progressive emaciation and anemia, transient meningism and terminal seizures, the disease ended fatally in two months. On the section: caseous masses and cavities in the left lung, caseous decay of the mammary and abdominal lymph glands.

Fr. Lefevre (Revue beige des sciences medicales. 1933, No. 1), adhering to the Cannon school, puts forward 3 hypotheses to explain the mechanism of the origin of postoperative hyperglycemia.

Already in 1927, the author pointed out that in order to combat postpartum eclampsia, artificial delivery of women predisposed to eclampsia is needed. According to his observations, severe preeclamptics, promptly resolved, are less likely to suffer from seizures after childbirth than women with mild preeclamptic symptoms after spontaneous childbirth. This, according to W., serves as evidence of the preventive effect of operative delivery. With the author's method, only 5 cases were observed. eclampsia — 4 lungs, one severe. The frequency, therefore, fell from 2.1% to 0.46% compared to the previous one.

Diamant. Identification of the myocardium in a premature baby. (Arch, of Path. 14). Little baby 26 weeks old, lived 30 minutes.

Latent disorders of liver function and reticuloendothelium after eclampsia. (Arch. F. Gyn. B. 153, N. 3, 1933). The author studied 29 women who underwent eclampsia from 1923 to early 1932. Studies have shown that after the disease for many years, there is a disorder in the function of the liver and the reticuloendothelial apparatus, expressed in a poor ability to accumulate congorotes and in a reduced sensitivity to this per os levulosis.

Matko I. (Wiener Med. W. No. 21, 1933) reports, in connection with the sensationalized in recent years in medical, theological and philosophical literature of Germany about the "saint" from Konnersreith (a place in Bavaria), about the stigmatized Yugoslavia: Lenchka Gornik and Ierik a, viewed as genuinely stigmatized, and about three other "saints", one of whom was clearly deceiving, while the other was bleeding from wounds that she inflicted on herself in a confused state.

Paikin. On the essence of stuttering (Sovetsk, psychonevr., No. 6, 1932). The author approaches the problem of stuttering from a “genetic” point of view. He sees the root of stuttering in the “initial clonus,” that is, in the repetition of words and syllables without signs of convulsion, which is observed in children during the period of speech development, as a physiological phenomenon. On the basis of the repetition of words and syllables of non-convulsive phenomena, the author denotes "clonus" completely incomprehensible. "With unusual excessive emotional stimuli, early speech mechanisms are revived, the clonic repetition of syllables and words that are normally inhibited", and this leads to stuttering.

Prof. V.S.Gruzdev reported on a review of cases of ectopic pregnancy that were permanently observed in the Kazan obstetric and gynecological clinics (Kazan Medical Institute and the Kazan Institute for mustaches, doctors) for 1931 to 1932, and paid particular attention to the rapid and significant increase in the number of cases in Kazan ectopic pregnancy in general and interstitial pregnancy in particular. The speaker puts this circumstance in connection with the increase in the number of induced abortions in Kazan and the widespread use of intrauterine injections here for the purpose of both preventing and terminating pregnancy.
