From the memoirs of Professor S. S. Zimnitsky

Predtechensky A.M.

Abstract

At the suggestion of the esteemed chairman of the Society of Physicians at Kazan University, it has fallen to me the honor to share my recollections of the late Prof. S. S. Zimnitsky. As one who worked with the late S. S. for about 10 years and was associated with him personally, I recall many strokes of his life both from his personal accounts and partly from his autobiography.

Professor S. S. Zimnitsky, as a scientist

Luria R.A.

Abstract

Russian medicine undoubtedly lost in Professor S.S. Zimnitsky one of the major therapists, a learned clinician, very gifted, with an inquisitive, eternally searching mind of a philosopher researcher. It is difficult now, when this loss is still so fresh, to draw a full and true picture of S.S.'s scientific quests and give an objective assessment of what he contributed to our science - difficult because new ideas in medicine often lose much to contemporaries just when they are especially bright, especially paradoxical, and are recognized as scientific truth only much later, when they have passed all tests of strict and often biased criticism.

On the functional relationship between the cerebral appendage and the thyroid and sex glands

Zatvornitsky Z.A., Zimnitsky V.S.

Abstract

The question of the functional relationship between the individual glands of internal secretion has long attracted the attention of a number of researchers, and despite the huge number of works in this direction, the department of the relationship of the insocrine organs is one of the most obscure chapters of endocrinology.

Pathology of the reticulo-endothelial apparatus

Vilensky L.I.

Abstract

In our previous work "To the teaching of the functional diagnostics of the reticulo-endothelial apparatus" we, using Adler's and Reimann's methodology, established that determination of colloidal solutions excretion from human blood, producing intravital staining, gives an opportunity to judge about the function of the reticulo-endothelial apparatus. We made the following statements: 1) In healthy humans one hour after injecting into a vein 10 cc. 1% dye solution, 30% of it remains in the blood. 2) In infectious patients there is a delay of dye withdrawal from the blood depending upon the case gravity: a) at easy infections in an hour after dye injection into a vein 50% colloid remains in the blood plasma of patients, b) at severe infections in an hour after intravenous injection 70-80-100% of the dye remains. Retention of dye in the blood plasma is also observed in infected rabbits, as well as in white rats infected with Duttoni spirochaete. Subsequently, we continued our studies and became even more convinced of the correctness of our statements.

On the comparative value of some simple micromethods for quantitative determination of blood sugar

Shpanir F.L.

Abstract

Blood sugar quantification is very important in a number of disease states and has recently become particularly important in assessing the results of insulin therapy and its danger in terms of the occurrence of hypoglycemia. It is also important for determining the severity of a metabolic disorder and for prescribing therapy in cases of diabetes, when glycosuria is absent or negligible, and also in insulin therapy of nondiabetic conditions, where at the beginning of treatment there is no hyperglycemia, and due to this there is a danger of causing the latter. Finally, it is established that the state of the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine apparatus in general is reflected in the blood sugar content.

Congenital heart anomalies

Permyakov F.K.

Abstract

In practice, clinicians often have to face a number of difficulties in the recognition of congenital heart abnormalities, because very often the data available for the diagnosis, such as the boundaries of the heart, its murmurs, etc., are so similar for various defects of this organ that it becomes extremely difficult to differentiate on the basis of these defects. Particularly difficult is the diagnosis of congenital heart disease, for which recognition during life is often only a more or less probable guess. A detailed diagnosis of congenital heart disease," says Вalfour, "is a wide field for romance".

On the comparative effects of artificial and natural mineral waters

Grigoriev-Putilov V.P.

Abstract

Mineral waters in the treatment of diseases of the digestive tract everywhere enjoy a well-deserved reputation. Unfortunately, they are not widely available due to their high cost and often simply because they are not available in many remote areas. In addition, during the long transportation to the places far from Caucasus, the main supplier of our waters, the possibility of changing the very composition of the mineral water is not excluded. Due to these reasons especially Siberia is forced to use artificial instead of natural mineral waters, and the comparative value of artificial and natural waters is especially important for it. Clarification of this question is the task of the present work.

On rhinoplasty

Gusev P.F.

Abstract

On 5/V1 1926, patient A. L. was admitted to the Surgical Department of the Vetluga Hospital. L., forty years old, with a missing nasal tip. It turned out that the tip had been bitten off by her husband six months ago. Both the coccyx and a portion of the wings of the nose were missing. Other than this she has no other illnesses. An operation was performed on 7/VI under novocaine. For nasal tip formation a part of the patient's auricle greater than one centimeter in width and about one centimeter in length, of full thickness, was taken and freely transferred to the previously prepared, refreshed surface of the nose by removing the scar tissue. The graft took root well. The nose, to the displeasure of the patient's husband, turned out quite beautiful. Healing passed without any complications. The stitches were taken off on 12/VI and the patient was discharged on 3/VII. The temperature was normal all the time. The patient was kept in the hospital for some time to see if there would be any changes in the newly formed nasal tip, but there were none.

Materials for the study of postpartum infection

Timofeev A.I., Dyakonov V.V.

Abstract

The issue of postpartum infection and measures to combat it, despite its antiquity, has not lost its relevance at the present time. There are two main reasons for this: firstly, the fact that, in spite of all modern aseptic precautions in childbirth and the introduction of sub graviditate prevention, the rate of maternal morbidity has not been reduced to the desired minimum; secondly, the fact that we still do not have a fully reliable treatment for postpartum sepsis.

Mass psychotherapy techniques for alcoholics

Spitsyn N.

Abstract

In the present note I would like to share my experience of mass psychotherapy for alcoholics conducted in the Kursk Psychoneurological Dispensary. The basis for this note was, firstly, some innovations about which we did not meet in modern medical literature and, secondly, that this method is possible in any not only urban, but also in rural outpatient clinics.

Aetiology, pathogenesis, and clinic of elephantiasis

Levin I.A.

Abstract

Elephantiasis arabum is a group of diseases with a characteristic clinical syndrome, pathogenesis, with local pachydermia and hypertrophy of all layers of skin and subcutaneous tissue. A common distinction is made between: 1) sporadic elephantiasis, 2) endemic, 3) congenital, and 4) secondary. If the clinical picture, pathological and anatomical changes and, probably, pathogenesis of this disease have been studied rather well, the same cannot be said about etiology.

About the court cases of doctors

Epstein T.D.

Abstract

Let us now turn to the second group of cases, cases in which doctors are accused of crimes in office. It is quite natural to expect such cases, and even in fairly large numbers, since the vast majority of doctors in the Soviet state are in state and public service, and omissions and abuses, as well as misunderstandings, are always possible in the working environment and can be the basis for a legal case. It must be said to the credit of our medical staff that there are very few such cases, and that the majority of such cases are misunderstandings overblown to inadequate proportions.

Syphilitic fever

Platovsky A.K.

Abstract

In the present essay I will try to give a brief account of the extremely interesting question of syphilitic fever, which has not yet received its final resolution. The closest reason that has prompted me to present syphilitic infection as a febrile process is the observation by authorities in the field (Buschke, Fischer, Freund, etc.) that syphilis has recently been reported to occur frequently with febrile increases in t°.

The complement fixation reaction. Chernokhvostov (Jour. Exp. Biol., 1927, No. 20)

Weinstein A.

Abstract

Complement fixation both in specific reactions (toxin and antitoxin) and in nonspecific reactions (colloidal metal solutions), as well as in the Wassermann reaction, is due to the whole complement rather than its separate fraction. Specific in all these reactions is not the fixation of complement, but those processes that lead to the formation of physicochemical complexes (immunobiologically bound or not) capable of fixing (adsorbing) complement.

On the individual properties of alexin. Friese and Silber (Jour. Exp. Biol., 1927, No. 20)

Weinstein A.

Abstract

Two properties of complement are distinguished: 1) hemolytic ability and 2) the ability to bind (deviability) not standing in relation to each other (complement with a good hemolytic titer can bind poorly and vice versa). Observations on a number of syphilitic sera have shown them that with the same ingredients and methodology, the same lab technician will get different results in the same syphilitic sera, depending on the different deviability of the individual complement (with the same hemolytic titer).

Infection of the uterine fetus with filtered tbc virus. Rabinowitsch-Kempner (Deut. m. W., 1927, No. 47)

Mastbaum M.

Abstract

The tbc bacillus is known to have a filtered invisible form, which, according to Rabinowitsch-Kempner's experiments, passes through the placenta in pregnant animals (guinea pigs), becoming an acid-fast bacillus in the young generation. The virulence of this bacillus is apparently very low; it rarely causes progressive tbc in young animals.

Experimental studies on the effects of tbc toxin on female genitalia. Үoschida (from Ref. Weg. d. ges. Gyn., Bd. XII)

Abstract

Experimental studies on the effect of tbc toxin on the female reproductive sphere were first performed by the author who injected into rabbits a certain dose of suspensions of killed tbc bacilli, the toxicity of which has been strictly established. In doing so, the author obtained histological changes in the ovaries in utero much more easily than when other microbes were injected. In particular, in the ovaries of adult rabbits, degeneration of medium-sized follicles proved to be specific for tbc toxin.

A new way of X-ray examination of the duodeni. Pribram (Arch. f. klin. Chir., Bd. 148)

Tsimkhes I.

Abstract

In view of difficulties with which X-ray examination of the duodenum by conventional methods is connected, Pribram recommends to resort to introduction of air during this examination. First, a duodenal probe is inserted to the middle of the descending part of the 12 duodenum, and through it 10-15 c. c. barite is injected into the intestine, after which the duodenal area is massaged. Then, in the standing position of the patient, air is injected into the intestine through the probe by means of an ordinary rubber balloon.

Abstract

The authors are ardent supporters of the old conservative method of treatment of this disease. In their opinion, in this latter case it is necessary first of all to establish a good drainage of the focus as early as possible with a minimum of surgical trauma, then to wait until the virulence of the infection decreases and the dead bone separates spontaneously from the living one, and finally, at this favorable moment to remove all fragments of dead bone, affecting as little granulation as possible.

Portes' method of caesarean section. Phaneuf (Surg., gynec. a. obst., v. 44)

Timofeev A.

Abstract

The author describes the surgical technique and establishes the indications for the operation. The uterus is removed from the abdomen through a laparotomy incision, and the abdominal wound is immediately and carefully sutured. This is followed by emptying the uterus, which thus remains lying outside the abdominal cavity. After 1 to 2 months, when all infection has passed, a relaprotomy is performed and the uterus is inserted back into the abdominal cavity, or, as a last resort, amputated supravaginally.

Treatment of inflammatory diseases of the uterine appendages. Baër (Med. Klin., 1927, No. 20), Whitehouse (Веr. ü. d. ges. G., Bd. XII), Curtis (ibid.), Bourne (ibid.)

Abstract

The author reports on the principles of treatment of inflammatory diseases of the appendages adopted at Pankow's clinic. In addition to physiotherapeutic methods, such as ice, heat, light, diathermy, special attention is given to protein therapy (Terpichin, Caseosan, Novoprotin, etc.), from which, however, no special results are obtained. For gonorrhoeal diseases a sour cream vaccine (b. coli, strepto- and staphylococcus aureus) is recommended. Radiotherapy is especially suitable for tuberculosis as well as gonorrhoeal lesions.

Experimental gonorrhea in animals with a modified constitution. Sternberg, Shchedrovitsky and Rabinovich (Vr. Delo, 1928, No. 1)

Weinstein A.

Abstract

It has been almost impossible so far to obtain experimental gonorrhea in laboratory animals. The single success in this case, obtained by Borja and Sheritorina by means of sensitization with 50% bile, has been questioned by many. Sternberg, Shchedrovitsky and Rabinovich, proceeding from the position that infection and immunity of both the whole organism and individual organs depend on the intrasecretory activity of endocrine glands, experimented on castrated white mice.

Treatment of gonorrhea by malaria vaccination. Ter-Gasparian (Ven. and Derm., 1927, No. 10)

Weinstein A.

Abstract

Recently, a number of German authors (Lenzmann, Hoffmann and Schreber) have been using artificial inoculations of malaria with great success in male and female gonorrhea, especially those complicated and difficult to treat locally. A sharp dissonance in this respect is the work of Ter-Gasparian, who, working in a malarial area (Sukhum), had under his supervision for more than a year 114 gonorrhea patients suffering simultaneously from natural malaria.

To the question of rhinoplasty. Dr. Gozulov (Vest. Rino-L.-ot., 1927, No. 5)

Gromov V.

Abstract

Dr. Gozulov, considering the existing methods of rhinoplasty, gives preference to the Italian one, in particular to Lexer's modification of it. The disadvantage of this modification is that when the flap is cut from the hand and sewn into the edge of the nasal defect, the hand must be fixed at the head with a fixed bandage for a long time.

R. Sommer. Familienforschung. Vererbungs- und Rassenlehre. III. Auflage mit 54 Abbildungen. VII+519, Leipzig, 1927, Preis brosch. RM, 30

Galant I.

Abstract

A remarkable book by the Gießen professor of psychiatry R. Sommer on the study of families and the doctrine of heredity and race consists of two main parts. It would be worthwhile to dwell on each of the above chapters in more or less detail, since everywhere in the book there are new ideas and original views which every physician who follows the development of the medical sciences and related fields should become acquainted with, losing himself, after all, in such questions as the migration of peoples and the mixing of races. This, however, would mean stretching a book review to several dozen pages. It is therefore necessary to be satisfied with brief indications of the most important things in S.'s book, which cannot be passed over without mentioning them, even in a brief review. This includes, first of all, the author's doctrine of epimixis.

V. E. Salishchev. Clinical studies in surgery. Gosizdat, 1927

Sokolov N.

Abstract

In the preface to his book, the author emphasizes that his manual is "the experience of a guide for students who are becoming acquainted with the surgical clinic in the practical classes of the group method. By doing so, he protects himself from reproaches for the schematic and elementary nature with which some of the chapters of his book are presented. The book contains 7 chapters devoted to the analysis of the disease forms most frequently encountered (in the author's opinion) in the clinic. Thus included here are: 1) hernia, 2) appendicitis, 3) cholecystitis, 4) hepatic echinococcus, 5) nephrolithiasis, 6) hydronephrosis, and 7) osteomyelitis.

Gasul R.Y.

Abstract

The present, sumptuously published and with rare clear reproductions of radiographs, is a guide to radiology, specifically on the roentgen diagnosis of surgical diseases, which differs from other voluminous German and French textbooks-collections, It is distinguished from other German and French textbooks by the fact that its entire presentation is from the point of view of the specialist surgeon-radiologist (Schninz-Zurich), who spared no expense in ensuring that in each chapter the radiological data is compared with the anatomical and surgical data in each section. Despite the surgical bias, this voluminous work presents all roentgenodiagnostics of internal diseases, by wealth of material it is not inferior to the well-known Assmann's textbook. In particular, skeletal diseases take up 458 pages, internal diseases some 618 pages, and the genitourinary apparatus 100 pages. In doing so, each section reflects all the advances of recent years that modern radiology is proud of.
