Some data on the antagonistic action of mustard gas and calcium chloride

Popov P.I.

Abstract

The beginning of the current century must be marked, among other things, by the introduction of new weapons into the practice of warfare, which differed sharply from the previously known types of the latter. The peculiarity of the old weapons was that they caused bleeding, from which the fighters died. The new weapons do not damage blood vessels, they make the war less bloody, which is why one would think that they act more humanely. In fact, however, this is far from the case - in many ways the new weapons are worse than the old ones. These weapons are the poisonous substances, so widely used in the last war and promising to become even more important in future wars, which is why they are now being given serious attention everywhere.

Clinical observations on calcemia

Nimtsovitskaya M.A.

Abstract

In recent years, when interest in blood biochemistry has greatly increased, the study of blood Ca content has taken a prominent place. This is quite understandable, as the role and importance of Ca in the animal organism are great and varied. There is not a single organ or cell that does not contain lime. The presence of calcium in the cell nuclei and its necessity for the proper functioning of the cell has been proven. Lime deprivation leads to cell death. A number of changes in the body depend on an imbalance between Ca and K. Kraus and Zondek state that "K and Ca are the two poles between which cell life and function oscillate".

On the treatment of septic endocarditis with large doses of polyvalent anti-streptococcal serum

Prozorovsky B.M.

Abstract

In the present report, we will dwell on the description of several cases of septic heart lesions, in which we used polyvalent anti-streptococcal serum in high doses, and share observations on its action.
If this serum has been successfully used and is used by many people for rye, postpartum fever and some other septic lesions, in endocarditis it is used very rarely, and the available literature data on this subject speak mostly not in favor of such treatment.

Toward questions about tropical malaria sub partu and congenital malaria

Magid M.I.

Abstract

Questions about the course of malaria during pregnancy and about the relationship between malaria and pregnancy can be considered more or less studied, but to date there are very few observations as to the effect of malaria on the parturition process. Similarly, the opposite effect of the act of childbirth on the course of malaria disease is almost entirely absent from the literature.

Mammary gland tumors in men

Ivanchenko A.I.

Abstract

Male mammary gland tumors are very rare. According to Williams' statistics, out of 2,422 cases of mammary gland tumors, 2,397 involved women and only 25 cases involved men. Nussbaum, for 388 cases of removal of neoplasms of the female breast, had the same surgical intervention in men only 11 times. According to Schmidt, out of 150 cases of neoplasms of the breasts at the Czerny clinic, only 1 case involved a man.

Removal of the lower extremity with half of the pelvis (amputatio interileo-abdominalis)

Panshin I.N.

Abstract

For the first time Billroth performed this enormous operation in terms of the size of the injury inflicted in 1889; his patient died, and the case remained undescribed. Then Jaboulay operated on two patients who died in the first days after the operation, and was the first to make a report in the literature on this subject. The first surgeon to perform this operation, for sarcoma of the hip, with a happy immediate outcome, was Girard, whose patient lived six months and died of metastasis in the lungs.

Toward prevention and treatment of postoperative pulmonary complications

Znamensky M.S., Sychev V.V.

Abstract

The first reports about postoperative pulmonary complications we find in Gusenbacher and Piеtrzikowsky'oro, who drew attention to the connection between herniotomy for impinged hernias and the pulmonary complications that developed after it.Postoperative pulmonary complications undoubtedly occurred before, but then they were overshadowed by other, more formidable complications - septic ones, which abounded in the pre-antiseptic era. Now the latter have been minimized, but we have inherited the pulmonary complications entirely. They still visit every surgical hospital without exception, and surgeons are still far from being the winners in the fight against them. Only a very few surgeons have not had them in their practice at all.

On the application of the Manoilov reaction to determine the sex of the intrauterine fetus.

Chigarin A.P.

Abstract

Sexual dimorphism has been an extremely important and interesting problem of biology for the last 25 years. The discovery by Mac Kleen and Wilson (in 1905 ) of the x-chromosome and the quantitative difference between chromosomes in the egg cell and sperm cell of the bug Anesa tristis, which produce an even or odd combination during copulation and predetermine further development of a female (22 chromosomes) or a male (21 chromosomes), discovery by Wichardt of the possibility to distinguish human blood from that of great apes by cross immunization, as well as male blood from female blood, at a high degree of their dilution, the known difference between male and female blood in the number of red blood cells (Nägeli), their sedimentation (Faerheus) and viscosity (Determan), in Ph and the content of protein and colloidal substances, i.e., in the biochemical composition of blood cells. ie biochemical composition, as well as the total amount of blood (Rattman) - all these facts confirm that the male body is biologically sharply different from the female. At the same time, works of recent years in the field of endocrinology definitely indicate that the marked difference depends on the endocrine glands and mainly on the sex glands (Voronov, Steinach, Zavadovsky, etc.), whose hormones enter the blood. The latter, as a transmitter of everything that happens in the body, reflects as a mirror all the smallest changes in it, which is confirmed daily by clinical and experimental evidence. In particular, pregnancy in a woman, causing various changes in the whole organism, among other things, leads to a number of changes in the blood, and among these changes we can expect to find such, which depend on the function of fetal glands.

Value of blood and urine ninhydrin reaction in the diagnosis of uterine myomas

Shirshov D.I.

Abstract

Pathologically, histologically and genetically, "globular" uterine myomas are currently studied in great detail. Many clinical phenomena observed in myomas, however, require more in-depth study. I will focus readers' attention, for example, on the question of the causal relationship between diseases of the cardiovascular system and uterine myomas, a question to which an extensive literature is devoted, but which, however, has not yet been solved definitively.

Constitution as an important factor in infant nutrition

Vorobiev V.N.

Abstract

In matters of infant nutrition, constitution is a (very essential and generally recognized factor. We know well that by constitution we mean the sum of all its biological properties, i.e. morphological, functional and biochemical, since they are conditioned by the plasma and therefore have a hereditary character. However, it must be remembered that constitution is expressed mainly in the organism's ability to respond in one way or another to internal and external stimuli. Thus the state of child development is the result of the summation of two factors - on the one hand germinal rudiments, on the other - the influence of the external environment.

Pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of acute tonsillitis

Potapov I.M.

Abstract

There are borderline areas between the individual areas of various medical disciplines that equally encompass the features of diseases belonging to two or more specialties. In the first place, perhaps, is the area encompassing the oral cavity and pharynx. Almost all specialists are interested in the condition of the latter, noting some or other peculiarities observed here both in terms of visible changes in tissues and in terms of sensitivity, reflexes, etc. If congenital defects or chronic diseases are detected, they are usually referred to a laryngologist, while acute pharyngeal diseases are handled by a pediatrician, internist, surgeon, and other specialists, each with their own approaches and methods of recognition, preventive measures, and therapy. The current status of the pathogenesis of acute pharyngeal disease, due to the wealth of clinical experience, allows, however, to speak of a uniformly rational approach to this kind of suffering.

Disease incidence among medical personnel in Kazan (according to local insurance company)

Lifshitz M.S.

Abstract

Data of insurance companies on the incidence of diseases of the insured, of course, do not give such a complete picture of the state of health of this or that occupational group, which we get during a detailed physical examination. Nevertheless, these data, although schematic and incomplete, reflecting the dynamics of diseases, are, in our opinion, quite valuable subsidiary material for the study of occupational disease incidence. This induced us to work on development of Kazan health care workers' morbidity data, covering the period from 1/Х 1925 to 1/Х 1926. While comparing with morbidity of other groups we used tables of Dr. Pleschitzer from his article "General morbidity of insured in Kazan". Kazan" for the same period.

State X-Ray, Radiology and Cancer Institute in Leningrad

Manenkov P.V.

Abstract

Going in the spring of this year on a scientific trip to Leningrad, I willingly accepted the proposal of Prof. V.S. Gruzdev to get acquainted on site with the Leningrad Radiology Institute and send a description of the latter to the editors of the "Kazan Medical Journal". The purpose of this article is to inform the readers of the latter institute, at least briefly, about the construction and the work of that institute. I want the subscribers of our magazine not only know about the existence of this relatively young institution, but also have some idea of its condition and activities. In compiling this description, I have used partly the data from my personal inspection of the institutions of the Institute and partly the material from the collection published by the latter for the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution, which contains an outline of the Institute's activities over nine years.

On monocytes. Silberberg (Deut. med. Woch., 1928, No. 11)

Abstract

According to Silberberg, the macrophage histiocytic system is completely independent of the myeloid and lymphatic systems. Monocytes, which are direct descendants of histiocytes or represent free histiocytes themselves that have entered the blood, form a third, completely independent form of wandering cells of blood and tissues. They never replace leukocytes or lymphocytes, are much less mobile than the latter, and do not constitute blood cells in the proper sense.

Eating raw fruits and vegetables. Malten (Volksernährung, 1928, H. 7)

Abstract

According to Malten's experiments, raw vegetables and fruits are well tolerated and can fully cover the body's need for nutrients; their dietetic value is based on the fact that they are poor in purine substances, table salt and water, rich in vitamins and have an irritating effect on the digestive system, increasing at the same time the metabolism. Therefore, a diet of raw vegetables and fruits can be usefully applied to many patients, especially those suffering from gout and kidney disease, and the most valuable service is rendered by such a diet to patients with hypertension.

Treatment of neglected malignant tumors. Bernhardt (Klin. Woch., 1928, No. 16)

Abstract

Having tested various remedies proposed for the treatment of these tumors, Bernhardt found that the best of them was Isaminblau dye, the intravenous injection of which in a considerable percentage of cases leads not only to the halting of tumor progression and elimination of cachexia, but also to the reverse development of neoplasms. The disadvantage of this agent is the blue coloring of the skin caused by it.

X-ray diagnosis of diseases of the respiratory organs. Fleischner (Fort. a. d. G. d. R., Bd. 36, H. 1)

Gasul R.

Abstract

The author describes a phenomenon typical for infiltration of pulmonary tissue in contrast to pleural processes - light bronchi against the background of uniformly darkened lung fields. - On a number of very instructive radiographs N. Assmann (ib., H. 3) parses the differential-diagnostic difficulties in analyzing the X-ray picture of bronchocarcinomas, miliary forms of tbc and carcinosis, lymphogranuloma, leukemia and syphilis of the lungs. As pure cases of these diseases are rare, their picture on the X-ray is overlapping, and the diagnosis can be made only on the basis of X-ray and clinical data simultaneously.

Etiology and Clinic of Scarlatina. Deicher (Klin. Woch., 1927, No. 50)

Abstract

According to Deicher's view, scarlatina is caused by the hemolytic streptococcus, due to the absorption of the toxin it produces. In uncomplicated cases, the pathogen does not leave the surface or surface layers of the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Perhaps only when infected does it enter the blood, but it quickly disappears from there and only rarely can be found there in the acute stage of the disease. It is probably these streptococci entering the blood which are responsible for the later complications of the disease, as nephritis, glandular disease, etc. The antitoxic anti-scarlatino serum is, in the opinion of the author, a reliable remedy which should be used in all cases of moderate disease.

Abstract

Р. Heim obtained very good results from intravenous infusions of 40 to 70 cc. 10% Na bicarbonici solution with simultaneous administration of 30-40 gm of soda per os. Already the first infusion leads to reduction of tetanic convulsions, which, however, after 3 - 5 hours return. Repetition of the infusion the next day leads to a more significant improvement, and so on, until, after 3-4 weeks, there is no complete recovery. Out of 6 cases of the author, such an outcome was observed in 5, and only in one case death occurred on the 4th day of the disease.

Abstract

Wiederburg says that asthma is a disorder of autonomic functions of the respiratory organs, depending 1) on constitutional lability of the autonomic system, 2) on exogenous allergic irritation after previous specific sensitization, 3) on mental influences that disturb the functions of the respiratory organs. Hence, rational therapy of bronchial asthma should be based on somatic and mental desensitization and restoration of normal functions of these organs. In particular it should pursue a) elimination of chronic bronchitis, b) symptomatic treatment of seizures and c) mental influence on the general well-being of the patient.

Abstract

On the assumption that the pepsin content of gastric juice corresponds to the acidity of the latter, clinicians usually do not examine pepsin, but are satisfied with determining the acidity of the juice. Meanwhile, research has convinced the author that there is no direct correlation between pepsin and acidity in the juice. Usually the amount of pepsin depends on the nature of the food: in particular, it increases with a purely protein food.

Abstract

Chronic staphylococcal osteomyelitis of the spine, according to Eletsky, is a rare disease. It affects individuals who have undergone trauma of the spine and at the same time have a staphylococcal focus in the form of a furuncle, abscess, panarization, etc. I and II lumbar vertebrae are usually affected, with slight kyphosis or only flattened lumbar lordosis. The process starts from the periosteum and spreads from there to the vertebral body.

Abstract

According to Sobernheim's data, Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent causative agent of this disease (87.8%); the etiological role of Streptococcus is much more modest (14%). Of the predisposing factors, trauma is especially important. As for the therapy of osteomyelitis, according to Mönner (ibid.), in recent years there has been a tendency to refrain from extensive surgical intervention in favor of conservative methods of treatment. At the same time, the results obtained with the help of vaccine and serotherapy are still unclear.

Abstract

The author had 75 cases of open fractures, in 15 of which primary amputation was performed due to contusions of the musculoskeletal apparatus and, most importantly, the neurovascular bundle, while in the remaining 60 cases early surgery was performed (within the first 5-6 hours), which consisted of simple repositioning of fragments and blind suture of soft parts after excision of the disarticulated tissues. Where the fragments could not be repositioned, they were connected either by wire or Lambott plates.

On the question of spontaneous gangrene in young subjects. Oberthus (Revue de chir., 1927, No. 9)

Znamensky M.

Abstract

Oberthus, referring to the etiology of gangrene, notes a particular predisposition of the Jewish race to it. Anatomical substrate of gangrene is degenerative changes of arterial walls expressed in destruction of the inner elastic layer and intimal loosening by granulation tissue with subsequent obliteration of the artery, in the absence of any traces of thrombosis. He considers Oppel's theory untenable, because: a) the fact of hyperadrenalineemia in gangrene is not proved (blood of healthy people may have the same vasoconstrictive properties, and gangrene was sometimes observed in people with one adrenal gland); b) blood changes (hyperglycemia, increased number of erythrocytes, etc.) in this disease fluctuate from time to time. ) in this disease fluctuate in the range close to normal and uncharacteristic; c) in the removed adrenal glands are found hypertrophy of the cortical layer, but not of the brain layer, which produces adrenaline.

Abstract

Gauss speaks with great praise of this method of examination, by means of which the presence of fetal remains in the uterus, uterine polyps and uterine body cancer can be recognized, the cause of uterine bleeding and the course of the reverse development of the puerperal uterus can be diagnosed. It is possible, then, that with this method gynecologists will be able to inspect uterine tubal mouths, probe and catheterize the canals of the latter. Hysteroscopy is contraindicated in pregnancy, infectious diseases of the genital tract and diseases of the appendages. Its performance requires strict adherence to the rules of asepsis.

Toward the therapy of uterine gonorrhea. Zieler (Deut. med. Woch, 1928, No. 1)

Abstract

Zieler arrives at the following points on this subject: 1) Local treatment of the cervical canal, resp. uterus, after the first acute phenomena have passed, is the most expedient way to achieve the cure of the disease with the avoidance of complications. (2) A necessary condition for this is rest of the internal organs, achieved by the administration of atropine or papaverine. (3) Of the various methods of irritant therapy, only the use of the gonococcal vaccine is of known value, as an auxiliary method. (4) During menses, as well as immediately before and after them, all treatment must be interrupted, including the use of agents acting on the general condition, if they cause fever.

To the formation of an artificial vagina. Е. Kugue (Mon. f. Geb. i. Gyn., 1928, Bd. 78)

Abstract

As is known, for this purpose gynecologists use mainly two methods - the Baldwin'a-Mori method, in which the artificial vagina is formed from the small intestine, and the Popov-Schubert method, where the rectum is used to form an artificial sleeve. Each of these methods has its defenders and opponents, for each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. Wishing to combine the advantages of both methods, E. Kugue proposes to form an artificial vagina from flexura sigmoidea, which method was successfully tested by him in 5 cases.

On the etiology and therapy of prolapse of the rectum in young children. Kollmann (Med. Welt, 1927, No. 44)

Abstract

According to Kollmann, two groups of causes play a role in the origin of this disease: constitutional and those directly causing the prolapse. It usually occurs in neuropathic children who have increased tendon reflexes, dermographism, symptoms of Schaustek and Aschner, strong nervous excitability, habitual vomiting, pavor nocturnus, etc. Of the anatomical features, the considerable length of the mesentery colonis and s romani, and the indirect direction of the vertebral column favor prolapse. Directly causing prolapse are diarrhea, constipation, severe pressure while urinating, coughing (especially in whooping cough).

Leukemic lesions of the nervous system. Trömner and Wohlwill (Deut. Zeit. f. Nervenheil., Bd. 100)

Abstract

According to the authors' observations, the nervous system in leukemia is affected more often than it is usually thought. Infiltrates in dura mater and epidural tissue, as well as in cranial nerves and spinal roots are particularly common in this disease. In most cases this lesion does not lead to severe clinical symptoms, which occur only when the infiltrates in the dura mater are so large as to cause compression phenomena and when, due to the infiltration of the infiltrates into the nerve tissue, the nerve fibers themselves are involved in the suffering.

Effect of intravenous infusions of calcium chloride and magnesium chloride on muscle tone in patients with Parkinsonism. Pr.-doc. I.I. Rusetsky (report in the Physiol. section of the Society of Physicians at Kaz. Univ. 28/III 1928)

Abstract

Pr.-doc. I. I. Rusetsky applied such infusions in 10 patients with muscle hypertonia in parkinsonism after epidemic encephalitis, and then tested their muscle tone on m. quadriceps femoris according to Mangold's sclerometric method. For each infusion we used 5 q.c. of isotonic solutions of the above substances, i.e., 2.14% CaCl2 and 1.98% MgCl3. It turned out that a solution of Ca chloride increased muscle tone, a solution of Mg chloride decreased it, and the combined effect of both solutions also decreased tone, but more weakly.

Besredka antiviral in diseases of the mouth. Redalien (Presse méd., 1928, No. 25)

Abstract

According to Redalien, antiviral can be used with great success in painful superficial diseases of the oral mucosa, especially in gingivitis and ulcerative stomatitis, specific and nonspecific, where pain is a dominant phenomenon. Antiviral compresses are applied in this case for 15-30 minutes, and during this period they must be changed 2-3 times. Good results from application of antivirus were also obtained by the author in the initial stages of pyorrhea, as well as in a number of diseases of dental pulp and periodontium.

Improvement of Giemsa paint. Lestoquard (Cpt. rend. Soc. Biol., t. 94, No. 19)

Blagoveshchensky N.

Abstract

The author suggests a simple way of treating Giemsa paint to increase its coloring ability. This method consists in adding serum, drop by drop, with constant shaking, to the basic paint in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture. The resulting thin precipitate does not harm the color further. The optimal amount of serum added is equal to one tenth of the total amount of paint that is to be improved.

On the so-called ballast substances of herbal medicines. Kofler (Wien. kl. Woch., 1927, no. 52)

Abstract

According to Kofler, the production of "pure" medicinal substances with the elimination of all "ballast" elements, so advertised in recent years, does not always signify real progress and appears to be advantageous. In many cases it is just the opposite: an untreated drug or pharmacopoeia preparation produces better results than a "new" drug of the same kind, partly because of the "ballast" in the former.

Abstract

Dr. Vostrikov describes an interesting case from his practice. A young man, a certain J., had the misfortune to shoot off his penis almost to the root with complete disintegration of both testicles. Having recovered from the wound and having a peculiar idea of the miracles of modern surgery, he killed his fellow villager, also a young man, five months after the accident, and cut off his penis (leaving his testicles in place), then threw the corpse into the river, and with the cut off penis he went to a neighboring hospital with a request to sew on his penis. Unfortunately, this case remained unexplained in detail, as J. fled after his crime.

Abstract

According to Barthel the cremation business is most widely spread in Germany, where there are 76 crematoriums and the number of cremations in 1926 reached 40,000, while in Berlin they constituted 38% of all burials, and in Jena - even 72%. In Italy there are 38 crematoriums, in America - 87. In the USSR we have only one crematorium in Moscow, since the Leningrad crematorium, which functioned in 1920-1921, was closed. Now the question of building a crematorium has arisen again in Leningrad.

Gasul R.Y.

Abstract

The author's worldview as a physician is thought of only in the spirit of materialism. The great misfortune and tremendous mistake of earlier generations of physicians was to turn medicine into a part of philosophy and religion. Medicine became a science from the moment it switched to materialism and cut faith and knowledge into two different parts with the edge of a knife. This elegantly and sumptuously (on velvet paper, with rare artistic reproductions) published book reveals for the first time the historical and cultural importance of the doctor from the most ancient times (Assyria, Egypt, India, Judea, China, old America) to the end, the Greek era, which determined the growth, and sometimes the delay, of the cultural development of peoples.

The acknowledged merit of Assmann's well-known textbook is that the author has managed to build on the perfectly developed clinical material a richly illustrated radiodiagnosis, mainly of internal diseases, and to present it in a masterly, fascinating form. And in this new edition the author remained faithful to himself: the same clinical aspect, the same abundance of artistically presented material, the same wealth of valuable observations and instructions, the same critical coverage of the current literature.

Abstract

Until recently the "technique" of love, the "technique" of marital life was familiar only to a few sexologists and in a distorted form to so-called voluptuous people who knew from illustrated pornographic publications about certain techniques and positions devoid of aesthetics, far from normal, healthy physiology and which degrade the dignity of partners in their own eyes. In this book the old gynecologist and sexologist, for the first time, dared to speak openly on the basis of the latest anatomical, physiological and clinical data in bourgeois Berlin about the importance of a whole series of bio-mechanical moments in the sexual act.

S. A. Belsky, "Dictionary of Clinical Terminology" (Kazan Medical Journal, No. 5, 1928)

Breitman M.Y.

Abstract

In No. 5 of this year's Kazan Medical Journal, pp. 502-504 there is a review by S. A. Belsky about my book "Dictionary of Clinical Terminology". I am extremely grateful to the author for carefully reviewing the entire book and pointing out the deficiencies that, in his opinion, exist in the book. Among the errors he has pointed out are obvious typos, which have already been corrected in subsequent folios of the dictionary and are listed at the end of the book. It is very gratifying to see that correct spelling and reading is not considered by him to be an anachronism, but, on the contrary, is recognized as the duty of any literate physician. Unfortunately, in the "corrections". It is unfortunate that the "corrections" of S. A. Belsky have a number of unquestionable errors.

Abstract

Dr. M. N. Ksenokratov: The role of constitution in the course of chronic alcoholism. -In the debate Prof. Yudin drew attention to the fact that the cure rate of schizoid patients is much lower than that of cycloid patients. The fact whether alcoholics want to be cured or not also plays a huge role here. Alcoholics are more cycloid, other addicts are more often asthenic. Dr. Andreev stated that schizoid character occurs with prolonged alcohol use and that there is a certain relation between the duration of alcoholism and the curability of alcoholism. Prof. Favorsky, dwelling on a group of epileptic alcoholics, did not consider it possible to recognize as epileptics those of them where epilepsy was brought to life by alcoholism; he also drew attention to the distribution of patients by nationality.
