For the first time in the history of peoples, the working people found a real homeland, which surrounded them with care and attention, like a loving mother. Caring for a person, about his health and life, has acquired the greatest embodiment since the time of the Great October Revolution. The class character of the old medicine was relegated to the realm of tradition, medicine became the public domain and completely devotes itself to the service of the working people. Exceptional attention is paid to caring for the health of the mother and child. In this regard, all conditions are created for powerful development and pediatrics; the 20 years passed after the revolution really testify to the wide development of this field of medicine.

Blood transfusion for patients suffering from gas gangrene was first performed by Quesnin in 1917 with brilliant success. Haberland in 1921 recommends transfusion for sepsis. We find positive reviews of transfusions for purulent-septic diseases in Lindemann, Miller, Hoffmann, etc. On the other hand, Gempel does not note success from blood transfusions for purulent-septic diseases, and Elecker is their direct opponent.

In modern medicine, the success of functional pathology: is closely related to the success of pathological anatomy. Anatomy, by studying the shape of an organ during its movements, becomes, according to Bergmann, functional anatomy. Naturally, the X-ray symptomatology of the digestive apparatus, which has recently achieved major results in recognizing the finest structural changes in the mucosa, in its further development should have followed the path of an objective study of the functional activity of the stomach in health and disease. One morphological study of the stomach without taking into account its motor function is, of course, one-sided and insufficient.

Of the drugs released in recent years by our Soviet pharmaceutical industry, merkuzal, an analogue of the German drug salirgan, attracts attention. According to its chemical composition, it is a complex compound of mercury acetic acid and sodium salt of allylamidosalicylic acid; soluble in water. This drug, released for sale in ampoules in the form of a 10% solution containing 0.036 grams of mercury in 1 cm3, belongs to the group of the strongest diuretics and is used intramuscularly, intravenously and intraperitoneally at intervals of 2-3 days. With intramuscular injections, according to our data, approximately 75% of daily urine output falls in the first 7-8 hours after injection.

Noma, water crayfish, was first described in 1816 (Baron). This severe suffering affects most children between the ages of 2 and 4. Cases of illness in older age are rare. The etiology of the disease is unknown. Chernyakhovsky considers it to be a maranth necrosis, and Krasin as an anemic necrosis. Oppel says that noma is a traumatic injury to the mucous membrane with the addition of infectious blood clots. Lexer argues that noma begins on the basis of inflammatory changes in the mucous membrane of the mouth. Schmidt finds no reason to isolate noma as an independent form of the disease and considers it to be a simple gangrene of the oral cavity. As the causative agents of the disease, diphtheria sticks, Vincent's sticks, streptotrix, leptotrix, cladotrix and symbiosis of spirochetes with a fusiform bacillus are called.

Despite the huge amount of work and great achievements in the theory and practice of studying diseases of the biliary tract, I think it is not superfluous to report a case of biliary colic, which ended in spontaneous discharge of a large stone.

In our message, we would like to once again touch on the setting of teaching outpatient surgery to medical students, which, in our opinion, is not given enough attention in surgical departments. As a result of this, the graduated doctors, to whom, during their student course, clinicians willingly demonstrate gastric resections, bowel surgery, nephrectomies, know little about carbuncles, abscesses, panaritiums, etc. diseases. Meanwhile, these "minor diseases" are the main concern of polyclinic doctors and doctors of the periphery. Having not received sufficient practical training in the treatment of purulent inflammatory processes and, in particular, inflammatory processes of the fingers, young doctors are forced to gropingly understand these everyday, often complex diseases, which often lead to the loss of working capacity in case of improper treatment.

At the meeting of the Council of the Kazan Medical Institute on 30 / XII 1937, LS Persianinov defended his dissertation for the degree of candidate of medical sciences. sciences. Dissertation topic: "Streptocide action in clinic and experiment".

The author's own research consists of an experimental and a clinical part.
