The history of organotherapy is as old as human history, but some stages of its transition to the rational-scientific basis are of great interest for modern evolution of organotherapy as well. It is especially timely to recall now the almost forgotten works of our compatriots, Prof. A.V. Pel and Prof. I.R. Tarkhanov, concerning the relationship between radio- and radiotherapy and organotherapy and the possibility to strengthen the hormone therapy effect of organ drugs by their radioactivation.

The body has a complex regulatory mechanism to maintain its acid-base balance. The blood reaction, shifted somewhat to the alkaline side, fluctuates within very narrow limits. Even with increased production of acidic metabolic products, the deviation from the normal fluctuations of this individually constant value either does not occur at all or is very insignificant. A stronger deviation of blood Ph to one side or the other is incompatible with life.

Anatomical conditions play an important role in the results of any operation, including herniotomy. On the other hand, however, we see that whatever these conditions may be, the imperfection of some methods, e.g., the same Bascini method, remains unchanged. The frequent complaints of operated patients about heaviness in the groin, pain in the testicular and spermatic cord after operations performed lege artis according to this method convince us of this. All this prompts us to turn surgeons' attention to the method of inguinal hernia surgery, once proposed by the late Prof. I.A. Praxin, a method based on the idea of meeting all the requirements of anatomy and physiology, imitating nature itself in detail.

Recently, a number of experimental and clinical studies on the etiology of Chego-phtalmiae essentialis have appeared in the foreign literature. In view of the importance of this question from both theoretical and practical points of view, especially for us oculists working in areas affected by trachoma, we will allow ourselves to share some observations in this field.

Recently, in the medical literature, both Russian and foreign, more and more reports began to appear on the use for pain relief, as well as for the treatment of various diseases, hypno-suggestionin, a remedy that is far from new, but, due to some circumstances, for a long time forgotten and little researched both experimentally and clinically.
As you know, in the old days, hypnotism was shrouded in a mystical veil, it was in the hands of the majority of ignorant people who had nothing to do with science, and it was considered simply frivolous to engage in it. Subsequently, however, thanks to the research of such prominent representatives of psychiatry as Braid, Liébault, In eau ni, Bernheim, Moll, Forel and many others. others, as well as experimental work of Russian scientists, academicians I. P. Pavlov and V. M. Bekhterev, prof. V. Ya. Danilevsky and others, hypnotism was finally taken out of the limits of mysticism and, having received physiological substantiations, firmly embarked on a broad scientific path.

Adhering here, as before, to the point of view that the concept of reflex in neurology and neuropathology should not, mainly for practical reasons, be extended to all phenomena of neuro-psychic life, we will consider here only those phenomena in the sexual sphere of women, which by their nature really correspond to the basic concept of reflex, which consists in transferring irritation from the sensory to the motor neuron. Reflexes of the female sexual sphere stand mainly in connection with the processes of sexual intercourse, pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

The time is not far off when all psychic phenomena were explained only as manifestations of an immortal soul independent of the body. The time was not yet far off when mental illness was looked upon as the result of an evil spirit having taken possession of the patient's soul, and the treatment of mental illness was reduced to the expulsion of this evil spirit by prayers and incantations. The psychiatrists were then clergymen, and the places of treatment of mental illness were monasteries. Where treatment failed, there was only one way to get rid of the evil spirit - to burn, to destroy the body that became his home.

Having studied, with a fine probe, the gastric juice of 4 adults at rest and after strenuous muscular work, Delhongue found that both gastric secretion and HCI in the gastric juice increased significantly afterwards.

Radiant energy acts on a protein molecule, splitting it into its simplest constituent parts, i.e., destroying it. In this case, solar rays and short-wave rays, such as radium and radium rays, have the same effect on the molecule; there is only a quantitative difference.

The author reports that 9,371 autopsies performed between 1920 and 1926 at the Pathologoanat. The author reports that from the total number of cases of malignant tumors of 1.123 (11.98%) in the Institute of Pathology and Anatomy of Prof. Kiml in Prague 14 multiple cancers were found. Besides 4 cases in which the primary origin of the tumor was questionable, 10 cases (0,107% of all autopsies and 0.89% of malignant tumors) remain, where the primary plurality may be considered as reliable or at least very probable.

Experiments staged by V.N.Matveev and E.K. Kresling convinced them that not all races of typhoid bacilli are equally sensitive to high temperature: out of 14 cultures out of 4, when milk was heated to 75 ° C, 10 remained viable were killed.

From the skin scales of exfoliating scarlatinoid patients, in many cases, even after careful skin cleaning, it is possible to excrete hemolytic streptococcus. The latter is especially often isolated in the first days of desquamation.

It is commonly known that fatal pulmonary consumption in adults is usually thought to develop from what is called an apical process. Redeker states, however, that this is only in exceptional cases. The starting point of fatal pulmonary tuberculosis in adults, including galloping one, is usually the "early infiltrate", as R. calls it, which is located mostly in the subclavian region or in the middle part of the lung.

Having studied the clinical course of pulmonary tbc in lutes, the author found that the combination of both infections occurs frequently (64 cases per 1300 patients, i.e. 5%), and tbc added to old tertiary syphilis runs with a tendency to fibrosis, while addition of syphilis to the existing tbc worsens the latter and aggravates the prognosis.

At one time, Roffo, for cancer recognition, proposed a reaction based on the fact that a solution of the known Neutralrot dye reacts differently with the blood serum of healthy subjects and cancer patients.

On the basis of numerous observations, Professor L.G. Alekseev concludes that chronic ulcerative colitis is an amicrobial non-infectious disease, often layered on the former ulcerative process (acute bacillary dysentery and other infectious colitis).

In 88 cases (50 cases of bothriocephalus latus and 38 cases of thaenia), the author expelled the worms with a duodenal probe.

The author performed 19 inguinal and 2 femoral herniotomies and one appendectomy under local anesthesia of the lumbar plexus according to the Bucsh'a method.

The author concluded that blood transfusion is one of the best ways to combat deoxidation and blood stasis, as well as against falling blood pressure, and the best effect from it is obtained when from the beginning of disorders has passed no more than 1-2 hours. In the pre- and postoperative period it is often a necessary measure to increase the chances of a successful operation.

The author reports two cases of severe itching in the anus area that could not be treated conservatively. Excision of the eczematous area was also unsuccessful.

G. B. Stepanov reports the results of a study on the presence of Proryazek'a bodies in 786 cases, of which 655 were examined with trachoma con'yunctiva scrapings, 58 with follicle contents from trachoma patients and 73 with con'yunctiva scrapings from non-trachoma patients.

The author reports orbital phlegmon developed after lacrimal sac extirpation (the operation in this case was accompanied by heavy bleeding and tearing of the highly altered lacrimal sac at its entrance into the bone canal).

In discussing the causes of infertility, the author notes that part of the cases with unclear etiology depends on sperm immunity. In one third of infertile marriages the husband is directly responsible for infertility, in another third he indirectly causes infertility (transmission of gonorrhea to the wife), and only in one third of cases the cause of infertility lies with the woman herself.

When reviewing the methods of artificial induction of uterine contractions in women in labor, the author notes that the mechanical method of Gauss could be replaced by the electric stool Vergonié or procteirinter. The Stein's method (castor oil, pituitrin), which gave the author only 50% positive results, is considered by O. to be no better than the quinine method of inducing contractions.

Using the Stoeskelelʹya clinic material, the author confirms the indications of other authors who say that the rate of erythrocyte sedimentation increases with the onset of cancer recurrence.

The author describes 30 cases of childhood bronchiectasias seen at the Kleinschmidt Pediatric Clinic in Hamburg. He considers important for the diagnosis of the disease the dissociation between the percussion and X-ray findings on the one hand and the persistent abundant wheezing in the lungs on the other, as well as the presence of changes in the fingers (drumstick shape) and nails (hour glass shape).

The author used in 40 cases of scarlet fever the antitoxic serum prepared by the Mechnikov Institute in Moscow and concluded that the serum treatment of scarlet fever should be used in all severe and moderately severe cases of both toxic and mixed forms of the disease.

The author microscopically examined the juice (lymph) of inguinal lymph glands extracted from 20 tabikas and found pale spirochaeta in 7 cases.

The author, who examined the mental condition of the starving people in Pridneprovye by order of the NKZ of Ukraine in 1922, described the results of his examination in his book titled "Cannibalism", where he described 45 cases of cannibalism in various forms (cannibalism, human flesh trade, etc.).

Acetic acid thallium is now widely used in practice as an epilation agent for parasitic hair diseases, despite the fact that its pharmacological action. extremely complex, can not be considered fully understood. Szentkiralyi believes that hair removal is caused by the effect of thallium on the endocrine resp. vegetative system and that it is only one symptom of a general syndrome complex of disorders in the endocrine resp. vegetative system, not yet fully studied.

Having treated 144 cases of purulent inflammations of the middle ear according to Bezredek's method, the author concluded that coke infections are successfully cured exclusively with filtrate-bullion-vaccine, while mixed infections require the addition of weak disinfectant solutions to the latter.

Having studied histologically 40 preparations obtained at the operation, and 32 from corpses, the author found that maxillary sinus diseases occur more often than reported in the literature - that in the sinuses are noted not only mucosal but also bone changes, and that in the mucosa of this prevails productive process.

First of all, the first section of the book, written by Prof. Boas, gives us the general principles and acquaints us with the conditions of expediency and rules of diegetic treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and then deals with issues of private diegetics.

The author, an assistant to Prof. Неuсk in Munich, elaborates in his small monograph on a new method that is just beginning to make its way in the treatment of early syphilis, the artificial inoculation of malaria.

Prof. A. I. Timofeev and Dr. V. V. Diakonov: Materials for the Study of Postpartum Infection. The authors have developed materials of the Obstetric Clinic of Kaz. State University for the period from 1900/01 up to 1925/26 inclusive and material of the Obstetrical Clinic of the State Institute for Advanced Training of Physicians for the period from 1920 to 1926 to find out the number of puerperal diseases during various periods of clinic activity. All material was divided into two groups: the first group covers the period from 1900 to 1919, the second from 1920 to the present.

Please report the technique of shoulder dislocation reduction by the Janelidze method mentioned in the article of G.A. Ilyin (No. 3, "Kaz. Med. Zhurnal"). Subp. no. 2571.
Answer: The patient lies on the side of the dislocated side so that the arm hangs over the edge of the table. In doing so, pay attention to the edge of the table where the edges of the m. pect. maj. et latissimi dorsi approach the shoulder. The head of the b-head is supported by an assistant. The arm remains in the downward position for 1-2 minutes, during which the shoulder girdle musculature relaxes. Then the surgeon stands on the front side of the patient, bends his arm at the elbow and, holding his forearm with both hands, presses straight down along the axis of the shoulder, rotating it slightly alternately to the outside and inside at the same time.
