On the origin of Cheyenne-Stokes' breathing

Teregulov A.G.

Abstract

Of the large periodic fluctuations of breathing in clinical pathology there are two forms - Cheyne-Stokes' and wavy breathing (wogende Atmung). Both forms of breathing represent a failure in the essence of the phenomenon of the same order: wavy breathing can easily, under certain conditions, go to Cheyne-Stokes. The first form is mainly observed in severe diseases - severe disorders of cardiac activity, arteriosclerotic lesions of cerebral vessels, meningitis, cerebral hemorrhages, uremia, etc. The second form occurs much more often than it was supposed before. Its detection became possible with the introduction of systematic pneumographic studies into the clinical routine.

On the diagnostic and prognostic significance of prolonged subfebrile temperatures

Brevdo B.S.

Abstract

The study of prolonged subfebrile temperatures is of great practical importance, because the clinic of these temperatures is very poorly studied, we do not know the genesis of this phenomenon, and in this regard, our therapeutic measures in this kind of patients are very chaotic. Brought up on the idea that the subfebrile temperature is almost exceptional manifestation of chronic infection, our thought is unwilling to accept the possibility of its other origin. Having before him a patient with a long subfebrile fever, the practitioner tries to associate it with some chronic infection, most often with chronic malaria or tuberculosis, - especially since the complaints of such patients often easily fit into the clinical picture of one or the other of these diseases.

On the clinical picture of giantism

Ginzburg E.

Abstract

When growing a giant usually breaks the proportion between the size of the skull and the length of the body, mainly the length of the lower limbs, which are growing faster than the upper; rarer type of giant, which has a sharp lengthening of the upper limbs compared to the torso. Colossal physical strength, which is attributed to the giants of folk legends, in fact, giants are usually absent: most of it is physically weak people, unenergetic and adventurous, with mediocre mental abilities. They have lower libido, often impotence, and are childless in their married life. Gigantism is more common in men than in women, and usually occurs during puberty.

On oligemia in malaria

Volsky M.E., Sheveleva E.M.

Abstract

For clinical diagnosis of anemia, in addition to determining the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin content in the blood, it is necessary to determine the total amount of the latter, which gives a more complete picture of the phenomenon under study and in many cases saves from possible errors. At the present time in the literature there are already data, however, not numerous yet, concerning the total amount of blood in some physiological and pathological conditions.

Primary gastric sarcoma

Abstract

Primary gastric sarcoma of the round cell type is a rare disease. Each new case of this disease deserves description - until such a material is accumulated, which would allow, at least in general outline, to draw a picture of this disease. For this reason I think it is not unnecessary to describe in print the following case, which is especially interesting because the diagnosis here was made while the patient was alive.

On the fate of silk knotty suture on hollow organs

Krivtsov T.V.

Abstract

The question of suturing the hollow organs has been of interest to surgeons from Celsus to the present day. First of all, the question arose as to whether and when the hollow organs should be sutured. This has now been clarified in a positive sense. As for suture technique and material, it doesn't come out of medical literature discussion until now, with particular attention paid to closure of wounds to the gastrointestinal tract. The best suture for this is recognized by all surgeons as Lembert's suture, the first idea of which belongs to Jobert and which was subsequently modified by Czerny. Pirogov said: "Lembert's suture is a real progress in the art of surgery.

On the issue of a ruptured malarial spleen

Durmashkin V.M.

Abstract

Rupture of the spleen is quite frequent in tropical countries, where pathological spleen is a common occurrence, and where this damage is observed often from negligible trauma. Thus Grawford, working in India, collected 477 cases of ruptured spleen there, and of those 387 cases where the weight of this organ was known, only in 18 it was within normal limits. The authors who collected material from non-tropical countries (Krukov, Leverenz, Berger, Finkelstein), usually the cause of ruptures was a very severe trauma - in most cases a healthy spleen.

Regarding the calcium content in the blood of glaucomatous patients

Nechkina-Brodovskaya K.V.

Abstract

The work of Chiari and Januschке establishes the inhibitory effect of calcium salts on transudation and exudation. These researchers proved by their experiments that the extremely severe oedema of the connective membrane of the rabbit's eye caused by mustard oil or Auburn quickly disappears if the animal is injected subcutaneously or intravenously with a few cubes of calcium salt solution. Similarly, in dogs poisoned with sodium iodide or thiosinamine, the onset of profuse pleural exudate, pulmonary edema and hydropericardium can be prevented by application of calcium salts. This is also confirmed by other authors (Leo, Levy, Heubner, Rona, etc.).

Regeneration of uterine mucosa after induced miscarriage

Yakovlev I.

Abstract

The mucous membrane of the uterus is a sui generis tissue and is subject to specific laws of life. With this I wish to recall those cyclical transformations of it which are peculiar to the female. A number of works (Hitschmann u. Adler, R. Schröder, R. Mayer, Figurnov, Yakovlev, Belyaeva and many others) have studied in detail the process of mucous membrane restoration both under normal and pathological conditions. But as for studies on the restoration of the uterine mucosa after its curettage for artificial miscarriage, there are few of them, namely, two old works dating back to 1895 (Werth) and 1899 (Polano). (The authors of the present paper are very few in number. (Belyaeva and Golubchin), produced simultaneously with my work.

Kafka paraffin reaction in cerebrospinal fluid

Hodos H.G., Gorev N.N.

Abstract

Colloids, first applied to study cerebrospinal fluid in 1912 by Lange, have taken a firm place in diagnostics in the form of so-called colloidal reactions. These reactions, as it is known, consist in that artificially prepared colloidal solution is mixed with cerebrospinal fluid in various quantitative ratios, and the reagent undergoes characteristic changes, which can be recorded in the form of curves. Many colloidal reactions have been proposed, but the most common of these are Lange's Goldsol- reaktion, where a colloidal solution of gold is the reagent, and Emanuel's Mastic Reaction. In the relatively short time of their existence, these reactions have generated a huge literature, which is overtaken, on the one hand, by the increased interest of modern neurological clinics in cerebrospinal fluid, on the other hand, by the value of the results of colloid reactions, which often provide an opportunity to make a more accurate and differentiated diagnosis of liquor than it has been possible so far.

Experience in treating eczema with intravenous infusions of table salt

Zenin A.S.

Abstract

Eczema, which occupies a central place in practical dermatology and often does not respond to local therapy, makes it necessary to look for new ways and methods of treating it. At the same time, the view that many dermatoses are connected to diseases of the nervous system or internal organs or the endocrine system, which is becoming more and more entrenched, makes it necessary to treat it not only with local therapy, but also with internal, causal therapy. In order to intensify the effect of drugs administered into the body, in recent years the method of introducing them directly into the bloodstream has been spreading more and more in eczema, as in other dermatoses.

Foreign bodies of the external auditory canal

Chudnosovetov V.A.

Abstract

Under foreign bodies of the ear in the proper sense of the word should be considered only those that enter the external auditory canal from the outside. However, this notion is now somewhat expanded to include in the group of foreign bodies of the ear deposits of the glandular apparatus of the external ear with the formation of accumulations of wax - "wax plugs". In general, all these bodies, of one origin or another, can be divided into two groups: animate and inanimate (Tsytovich, Fink).

The current state of bacteriophagy

Shekhter E.

Abstract

All theories of bacteriophagy generally fall into two categories: theories that consider a "living" cause, a special ultramicrobe-parasite bacteria, as the basis of the phenomenon, and theories that consider the bacteriophage lysine a product of the bacteria themselves. Of the theories of the first group, the most complete and consistent is the theory of the author, to whom we owe the discovery of the phenomenon that bears his name.

Effects of hormones on the reticulo-endothelial system. Goldzieher and Hirschhorn (Arch. path. a lab. med., vol. IV, no. 6)

Vylegzhanin N.

Abstract

The authors showed that the function of r.e. cell accumulation can be influenced experimentally by the introduction of some hormones. Thus, trypan blue or cholesterol accumulation increases when insulin is injected, decreases when thyroid preparations are injected, and practically does not change under the action of hydrochloric acid adrenaline or pituitaryrin solution. Iron accumulation, on the other hand, increases with pituitaryrin administration and partly with thyroid extracts, does not decrease with adrenaline and does not change at all with insulin administration.

Agricolansky B.

Abstract

The author distinguishes three main forms of scarlet fever: 1) intoxication, in which central nervous system intoxication phenomena prevail, and clinical signs of which are frequent vomiting, unconsciousness, delirium and convulsions; 2) local, where from the first days there is a significant lesion of pharynx and nasopharynx with no visible signs of intoxication; 3) exanthematous, in which there are no large local lesions and no irritation of the central and autonomic nervous system, but the main manifestation of the disease is a rash.

Treatment of typhoid fever by administration of vaccine per os. Alisov and Morozkin (Russ. Klin., 1927, Oct.)

Agricolansky B.

Abstract

Having used treatment with a heat-killed vaccine in a number of typhoid diseases, the authors arrived at the following results: 1) per os vaccine therapy in 46% of cases produces a cut-off therapeutic effect; in 38% of cases it saves strength of the patient by reducing the duration of the disease, decreasing t° and eliminating intoxication, thus promoting rapid recovery and preventing development of complications; it reduces mortality rate almost fourfold; 2) to obtain a clear therapeutic effect it is necessary to apply doses of 50-100 billion bacterial bodies per day for at least 4-5 days on an empty stomach, preferably after prior sensitization of the intestine laxative (10.0-12.0 magnesium sulfate).

Combined treatment of surgical tbc in spas. Kozlowski (Orth. and Traum., 1928, p. 5-6)

Kiptenko N.

Abstract

In the treatment of bone tbc Kozlowski recommends a combination of surgical treatment and spa treatment. The treatment begins with a double osteotomy or neurotomy according to Molotkov, and the resulting disruption of blood circulation and bone innervation is a biological stimulus to the tbc focus, leading first to rarification of the short end of the bone, and then to increased ossification and sclerosing of the latter.

Recognition and treatment of coronary artery sclerosis. Mourawitz and M. Hochein (Münch. med. W., 1928, no. 1)

Abstract

Sclerosis of the coronary arteries is much more common than thoracic pains; about 75% of patients in whom it was found in a widespread form at autopsy never had heart disorders. But, on the other hand, thoracic pains were observed almost exclusively in this sclerosis; only in 2 cases only the aorta was affected. Extensive infarcts in the heart muscle were found in 3 patients who died in a particularly long and severe attack of chest pain, which occurred once without any preceding pain.

Abstract

Lengthening of limbs observed in various diseases and injuries also occurs in the case of the bones and joints. In this case, elongation occurs when the diaphyseal part lying near the epiphyseal cartilage is diseased; when the epiphyseal cartilage itself or the epiphyseal line is diseased, elongation does not occur. Elongation is observed only in the period of bone growth and reaches 0.5-2 centimeters, usually during the first 1-3 years of the disease.

High heel in terms of normal footwear. Weinzweig (Journal of Modern Chir., 1927, vol. II)

Kiptenko N.

Abstract

The author considers two types of high heel: French and English. The French heel is rational if it is sufficiently advanced, up to the middle of the arch of the foot, if the heel tilt axis is parallel to the body gravity axis, i.e. equal to 35°, and if the heel-toheel contact area is horizontal. The English heel is made of wood or leather, its axis is vertical, the heel surface is shorter than in the French. It is less rational than the French heel, as it does not give enough reliable support to the arch.

The harm of abortion. Liepmann "Die Abtreibung"

Abstract

Liepmann, in his recently published book "Die Abtreibung", breaks down with very convincing data the popular opinion that fetal abortion is safe. He argues that termination of pregnancy is often a difficult operation, even for an experienced physician. Statistics show that in Germany there are up to 500,000 abortions a year, of which 80% are induced abortions. The overall mortality rate is 5%, i.e. 25,000 deaths per year.

Timofeev A.

Abstract

The author gives preference to radiotherapy over surgery, because it eliminates surgical mortality, eliminates the danger of anesthesia and side complications, and significantly shortens the duration of the patient's stay in the clinic. Ovarian prolapse also occurs less frequently. Finally, if radiotherapy fails, surgery can always be performed.

Stovarsol in poorly developing infants. Tezner (Mon. f. Kindheil., Bd. 34, H. 1)

Makarov Y.

Abstract

The author was convinced that giving it in an amount of 1/2 to 2 tablets a day (up to 25 tablets in 3 weeks) could cause weight gain in hypotrophics, who, although receiving sufficient food, did not gain weight. Interested in the cause of weight gain in his experiments, the author investigated the basic metabolism when given stovarsol, as well as the excretion of water and salts, and, finding no explanation in either experiment, suggested a decrease in perspiratio insensibilis as the cause of weight gain.

Abstract

Cases of hypertrophy of the pylorus giving pylorostenosis in infants are not as rare as they are diagnosed here.

Technical difficulties often encountered in practice when administering neo intravenously, as well as a number of contraindications from the heart and liver, require a cautious approach to the use of neo intravenously.

Abstract

Where can I find a detailed description of the properties of optoquine and its clinical applications?    Subscriber # 460.
Answer: Optoquine, or ethyl-hydro-cupreine, is a white crystalline powder that is difficult to dissolve in water. Depending on this property, it is recommended to replace optoquine with its easily water-soluble hydrochloricum salt. The latter drug is prescribed in 1-2% solution. as eye drops, and in ointments. Sterilization of the solution is optional. I. Morgenroth and I. Tugendreich recommend optoquine together with Na salicylic. for the treatment of sleeping sickness and pneumonia. We find a more detailed description of the use of optoquine in Berlin. klin. Wochenschrift, 1913 pp. 1207, and in the Medical Calendar for 1915.      Prof. P. Gorst.
