Thanks to the work on the one hand of morphologists and physiologists, on the other, of clinicians, it seems possible at present to provide a rigorous scientific basis for the study of one of the most difficult and dark chapters of neurology, cerebellar diseases. 1923, and the speakers were such authorities on this issue as prof. Marburg from Vienna and prof. Mingazzini from Rome.

On 23 / III 1923, a 7-year-old boy B. with complete paralysis of his right arm was delivered to the department. The father who brought the boy told the story of the misfortune that happened in October 1922. The boy was instructed to lead the horse. Holding her on the rein, he went to the indicated place. The halter was wrapped around the arm. Suddenly the horse, frightened of something, jerked violently back and rushed to the side, dragging the leader with it. The boy followed her a few steps and was then raised without memory. Immediately after that, his right arm was severely swollen. The tumor was especially large on the neck and in the upper part of the shoulder it did not have a blue-purple color. After being ill for several weeks, the patient began to feel better: the tumor began to subside, and the skin began to take on a normal color. Then it was noticed that, although the hand looks healthy, it has lost its ability, movement and sensation.

Fetal growth during pregnancy, accumulation of water and an increase in the volume of the uterus cause significant stretching of the anterior abdominal wall in a pregnant woman. This stretching is especially significant during multiple pregnancies and with polyhydramnios. In this case, the rectus abdominis muscles diverge from each other due to stretching of the white line, the integrity of the skin is disturbed due to the divergence of its fibers, and in this way striae gravidarum arise.

One of the most interesting interrogations in the doctrine of tumors is the question of atypical growths of the epithelium. The uterus is just such an organ in which growths of this kind are found in a wide variety of forms. These forms should include the so-called. diffuse adenomas of the myometrium - adenoma myometrii diffusum. Not being sufficiently studied in all respects — no more than 30 such cases have been described in the literature so far — they are not only scientific, but also of great practical interest, since they often proceed under the guise of a malignant neoplasm.

In a large number of cases of joint diseases, it is not possible to establish their exact etiology. Since the gonorrhoid disease of the genital organs in women often remains unrecognized, gonorrhoid arthritis in the latter often pass for rheumatic arthritis. According to statistics (Velyaminov, Be Leske), gonorrhoid joint disease occurs in women twice as often as in men.

Prof. Bernatsky (Doctor. Gaz., 1924, No. 18) describes a new specific reaction to the sexual characteristics of plant and animal tissues. 1/4 of the timing is taken. test tissue, crushed in a mortar, placed in a small test tube ("port-fleur"), 1 cube of site is poured, a mixture of equal parts of 0.582% sodium hydroxide solution and 0.816% potassium hydroxide solution, the mixture is thoroughly mixed with a glass rod, and 1 a drop of a color indicator consisting of 2 hours of alcohol (95-96 °) 1% dalpy solution, 1 hour. one

Observing changes in the content of leukocytes (hl. Arr. Pseudo-eosinophils and lymphocytes) in the form of transient leukocytosis in the blood of rabbits immunized per os with cholera tablets, Lindfors-Aleksina (Arch. Cl. And Exp. Med., No. 3 - 4, 1924) comes to the conclusion that during per os immunization, along with the local process in the intestine, there is also a general reaction that does not cause changes in the hematopoietic organs, as with subcutaneous immunization, but still clearly expressed.

The question of treating diphtheria with normal horse serum instead of antitoxic serum, which was much sensational in connection with the observations of Віlіng'a, has been repeatedly decided by both clinicians and bacteriologists in favor of antitoxic serum.

By filtering tuberculous sputum, tuberculous pus, peels from organs affected by tuberculosis, as well as old tuberculosis cultures through a Chamberlend candle, a number of authors, such as Veyaapson and Nudurou, Valtis, Duran, Vaudremer (Bull, de l'Inst. Past., t. XXII, 1924), it was possible to obtain a liquid, which, when introduced into the body of guinea pigs, caused tuberculous lesions with the presence of typical tubercle bacilli in the affected foci.

According to the conclusion of prof. Kabanova (Arch. Wedge, and exp. Med., 1924, No. 5-6) hypertension in the vast majority of cases is not an increase in the tension of the vascular walls, but a decrease in their myotonic state, that is, an increase in the functional activity of the heart and blood vessels, manifested in increased blood circulation in the arterial system (all or part of it) and increased blood circulation in it.

Glässner and Lewy (Arch, f Verdauimgskr., 1923, B. XXXI. H. ½) offer a very simple way to treat stomach ulcers by prescribing 4% sodium hydroxide solution after 2 hours with a daily dose of 400 cubic meters. sant.

Prof. Petrov (Journal for whiskers, doctors, 1924, No. 6) believes that the possibility of local damage to bacteria by antiseptic substances in the tissues of animals and humans has been proven on the surface and in cavities; in the thickness of tissues, it is probable, but clearly not proven; the possibility of a direct bacterioplastic action of antiseptic substances in the circulating blood has not been proven either.

Franke (Znb. F. Chir. 1924; according to the ref. In "Practice. Time", 1924, No. 7-8) praises the stubbornly not healing tuberculous fistulous passages cauterizing them with a mixture of solutions of copper sulfate and zinc sulfate (6.0 by 88.0 water). These moxibustion is repeated after 3-4 weeks. To protect the skin, it is smeared with petroleum jelly.

Prof. Mettingas (according to the ref. Doctor. Gaz., 1924, No. 17), in order to reach the lateral surface of the bladder, makes an incision in the abdominal wall above and parallel to the Poutart ligament — as for bandaging a. iliacae ext. more front line, dissects the aponeurosis m. obliqni abd. ext., lower fibers m. obliqni abd. int. and m trpnsversi abd., then fasciam transversaux, separates from the bone - if necessary - attachments of the rectus abdominis muscle and ligates the vasa epigastrica, inf With this incision, the side wall of the bladder is easily accessible and good conditions for drainage are created.

Despite the truly colossal amount of research of all kinds carried out in this direction, the named problem still remains unresolved.

Linhardt (Mag. Orvosi 1923; according to the ref. Zentr. F. Gyn., 1924, No. 19) was convinced that the placental extract, administered subcutaneously, is the most popular mammalian remedy.

According to Johansen (Venereology and Dermatology, 1924, No. 2), one of the main reasons for the protracted course of gonorrhoid urethritis in women is inflammation of the so-called paraurethral ducts — blind tubules located near the urethra and lined with stratified squamous or polymorphic epithelium.

Leibovich (Bp. Delo, 1924, No. 19-19) proposes a new method of revitalizing asphytic newborns, the essence of which is intraumbilical injection of adrenaline. The technique of the method is as follows: cut with scissors, of course, subject to the rules of asepsis

Prof. Weygandt (Klin. Woch., 1923, No. 47) reports about 300 cases of progressive paralysis, where it was produced, with a therapeutic purpose, inoculation of malaria (among these cases, about 200 were traced within 1-4 ½ l.).

Exploring the cardiovascular system in 275 patients with syphilis in the secondary stage. Ame1nng and Sternberg (Dent. Arch. F. Innere Mediz., 145 B., 1-2 H.) in half of them found obvious pathological changes.

Yakovenko (Hygiene of Labor, 1924, No. 1) analyzed dust in the department of technical rolling at the Krasny Triangle plant (Leningrad). In this compartment, a semi-liquid rubber mass in special kneading rollers is mixed with a powder containing litharge, and the powder is added by hand, and during this work, clouds of the finest dust are released into the air; after rolling, the rubber goes to the calenders, where the fabric is rubberized.

Currently in technology, there is a rapid spread of the electric method of deposition of dust and vapors through the system of prof. Cottrell'fl, first applied by the latter in 1906 in California.

This book, written by one of the most prominent French pediatricians, will be read with interest by Russian doctors, among whom the views of French pediatricians are comparatively little known.

Prof. A.V.
