In the pathogenesis of rheumatism, like a number of other diseases with an allergic component, it is possible to assume a change in the function of the pituitary-adrenal system.

Work on blood preservation and experimental biochemical studies show that the usefulness of erythrocytes is associated with the normal course of the metabolic process in them, mainly manifested in glycolysis, which gives erythrocytes all the energy necessary for metabolism. SE Severin (1946), GE Vladimirov and others (1947) note that the termination of glycolysis leads to hemolysis and death of erythrocytes.

In recent years, among the effective antirheumatic agents, combined preparations consisting of pyramidone and butadiene, which include reopyrin, are mentioned.

Literary data on ECG changes in patients with essential hypertension at a young age are few in number (I. M. Gigineishvili, V. Ya.Dyagilev, I. I. Pertsov and K. M. Tikhonova, I. A. Ryvkin and I. B. Gurevich, 3.G. Mavrina, M.I. Tsinamzgvarov, M.G. Yanovitsky). V. Ya-Diaghilev in this category of patients found in 42% of cases on the ECG signs of coronary insufficiency.

Abdominal pelotting was proposed by VL Einis (1927-1928) for additional lifting and limiting the mobility of the diaphragm after phrenicoperation. F.A.Mikhailov (1944) showed the advisability of using abdominal pelotting to neutralize negative intrapleural pressure when preparing a gas bubble for thoracoscopy and thoracocaustics. Subsequently, abdominal pelotting began to be used as an adjunct to pneumoperitoneum.

When transplanting ureters into the intestine, the main complications are ascending infection, peritonitis, the development of the humoral syndrome of hyperchloremic acidosis and the appearance of reflux, the dominant role in the development of which are neurogenic factors associated with trauma and impaired innervation of the ureteral orifices.

With primary erysipelas, penicillin therapy is effective. However, patients often have recurrent erysipelas, and repeated treatment with penicillin is no longer effective and does not prevent relapses at all.

According to the theory of A.E. Sharpenak, the depletion of the enamel of the tooth with proteins as a result of increased proteolysis is the basis of the occurrence of the carious process. One of the reasons for increased proteolysis is the accumulation of pyruvic acid in the tooth tissues.

The reasons for the development of uterine fibroids have not been completely clarified. A number of clinical and experimental studies indicate that in the pathogenesis of a number of tumors, an important role is played by the violation of the exchange of sex hormones, in particular estrogens.

Undoubtedly, there is now not a single doctor who would not consider an artificial abortion a harmful operation that damages both the sexual apparatus and, in a more or less distant time, and the entire body of a woman. It is the responsibility of every obstetrician to make this operation as gentle as possible.

Currently, electroencephalography has not only won a solid place among the methods of objective assessment of the activity of certain areas of the cerebral cortex, but has also been successfully used for broader purposes, namely, for a general assessment of the functional state of the nervous system in various diseases of the body, during workloads and etc. In this regard, the scope of application of electroencephalography (EEG) is expanding, and the number of electrophysiological laboratories at medical institutions is growing.

We observed 82 children in the recovery period of the spinal form of poliomyelitis. With a disease prescription up to a year, there were 15 people, up to 3 years - 29, over - 38. Under the age of 3, there were 24 and over - 58.

Pulmonary embolism and the development of the associated thromboembolic syndrome belong to the category of the most formidable complications of many diseases, and often occur after various surgical interventions.

P., 63 years old, delivered on 12/1 1962 in a grave, unconscious state. Scanty anamnestic information was obtained from a flatmate.

The literature contains a significant number of works on the issue of foreign bodies of the gastrointestinal tract. However, reports of foreign bodies in children are few. Most authors cite only one - two observations.

The peculiarities of the epidemiology of influenza make it necessary to look for measures to combat it by means of artificial immunization.

B., 58 years old, was admitted to the neurological department on 24 / 1-59 with acute cerebrovascular accident. For 15 years he has been suffering from hypertension. Since 1951, the patient periodically had attacks of headache and weakness in the right extremities, sometimes hemiparalysis

Bloodless reduction of chronic shoulder dislocations, especially for periods exceeding 2 months, does not always achieve the goal and is a long, traumatic and very burdensome manipulation for the patient.

We observed 8 patients with epilepsy, who had a significant increase in seizures of the petit mal type during pregnancy. These attacks appeared in 3 patients from childhood, in the rest - from 13 years of age and later. Seizures before pregnancy were rare, and in 4 patients they were completely absent. 

Observations were carried out in 38 patients with rickets I, II and III degree. The clinical diagnosis in all cases was confirmed by biochemical studies of blood calcium and phosphorus and radiography of the distal sections of the long bones of the forearms.

Neurofibromatosis (Recklinghausen's disease) is a relatively rare eye disease. Along with multiple neurofibromas, cases with subtle symptoms may occur. Neurofibromatosis of the conjunctiva of the eyeball is especially rare. It is little known to oculists and presents difficulties in diagnosis.

Corticosteroid hormones, which are physiological regulators of a number of fundamental functions in the body and have a wide range of therapeutic effects in clinical use, are attracting more and more attention of experimenters and clinicians.

The value of anti-relapse prophylactic therapy for rheumatism is well known and beyond doubt. However, the methods of carrying out and the organization of work on its implementation still require much clarification.

VA Negovsky conditionally distinguishes three phases of the terminal state - pre-agonal, agony and clinical death. The best results of treatment of the terminal state are obtained in those patients in whom assistance is started in the pre-agonal state. Here it is necessary to save not minutes, but seconds, since within 5-6 minutes after the cessation of respiration and blood circulation, such changes in the cells of the central nervous system occur, in which the restoration of their functions, and consequently, life is impossible. Therefore, the main task in helping a person in a terminal state is to maintain respiration and blood circulation.

A small monograph by prof. M. Ya. Arieva "Cardiac asthma" is devoted to an extremely important issue. The author examines the pathogenesis of an attack of cardiac asthma from the standpoint of the reflex nature of the attack. Based on his own observations and literary data, he considers the current view of an attack of cardiac asthma as a condition caused by acute left ventricular failure to be incorrect.

The monograph under review is undoubtedly a valuable and necessary manual for doctors - venereologists and urologists, especially since since 1947 such books have not been published at all. The book examines in the light of modern knowledge, inflammatory diseases of the urethra of various etiologies, including those caused by bacteria, fungi, spirochetes, Trichomonas and amoeba.

More than 400 people took part in the conference. There were guests from Bulgaria, Poland, Czechoslovakia.

The conference was attended by about 700 people, including delegates from 6 countries of people's democracy.

The time of discharge of amniotic fluid largely determines the normal course of the labor act. Untimely outpouring of water disrupts the opening of the cervical canal, delays childbirth, contributes to the emergence of an ascending infection, fetal asphyxia, that is, creates the preconditions for the pathology of childbirth.

There were 11 meetings of the Society. Joint meetings were held with the Society of Orthopedic Traumatologists and the Society of Phthisiologists. 15 reports, 2 information messages, 4 fixed demonstrations and the report of the Chairman of the Society were heard.

Kazan Medical Journal ”has been published intermittently since 1901. Historically, it was the only medical journal in the Volga region for a long time. The medical faculty of Saratov University has existed since 1909, other medical universities in the Volga region were organized much later. And although in the twenties and thirties other medical journals and works were published, "Kazan Medical Journal" was traditionally considered the leading one in the Volga region. It is therefore natural that when Kazan scientists took the initiative to resume the publication of the journal after a break associated with the Great Patriotic War, they turned for support to scientific societies and teams of medical universities and research institutes in the Volga region. Support has been received.
