In several articles published from 1909 to 1913, the Dutch scientist Boeke described in the transverse striated muscles nerve fibers accompanying the motor fleshy ones and ending in the motor plaques of the transverse striated muscle fibers. Examining the m. obliquus sup. of a cat in which the n. trochlearis was cut immediately at the exit from the brain, Voeke found the endings of sensory and motor fibers and preserved muscleless fibers (the cat died on the 4th day after the operation) reincarnated. On this basis, the author attributed the sympathetic origin to these fibers.

The issue of surgical treatment of gunshot injuries of peripheral nerves until the last war seemed to be extremely underdeveloped. Only the experience of the last World War clarified many aspects of this issue, significantly changing the surgeons' views on the treatment of nerve wounds. However, despite this, even at present the issue of surgical treatment of gunshot nerve injuries seems to be far from exhausted and deserves attention in many respects.

According to Werth and Schaut, bilateral twin tubal pregnancies belong to the third category of twin ectopic pregnancies, the rarest category, which includes only those bilateral tubal pregnancies where both fetuses are the product of the same ovulation, but not those where, after termination in one tube, a new pregnancy occurs in the other,-or, less frequently, in the same tube,ie. i.e., the fetal eggs belong to different ovulation periods.

In the field of artificial feeding of children both the usual methods of milk dilution and various attempts to treat cow's milk in order to bring its composition closer to that of the woman's milk, or to make it more digestible, have never produced a result close to that of mother's breast feeding. The imperfection of artificial feeding has always been the cause of the search in this field, why every new proposal in dietetics attracts great attention.

In No. 182 of the "Proceedings of the TSIK" of 18/VIII 1921 was printed an article by I. Ivanovich under the title: "From a pood of grain-two poods of bread (one of the means to be satiated in the days of hunger)". The article was written about P. A. Zarin's experiments with baking bread from whole grain.

Favorable results of treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers by parenteral administration of protein, obtained by Pribram, who published 77 cases treated with novoprotein (a crystalline preparation of vegetable protein), made Calck test this method on the material, where there were not only subjective complaints of patients - pain after eating, but also objective, especially roentgenological symptoms of gastric or duodenal ulcers.

This method was proposed back in the first half of the 19th century. The patient is laid in such a way that the Pourontoʹs ligament lies parallel to the edge of the table. The patient is laid so that the Pourontoʹva ligament of the dislocated side lies parallel to the edge of the table, and the pelvis is pressed by the anterior-upper spine and the pubis to the table with a helper's hand pressing on the sacrum. The dislocated leg slowly hangs over the edge of the table, bending at the hip joint to a right angle. The surgeon bends the patient's leg at the knee and, pressing down firmly, makes gentle rotating movements at the same time.

Arthrodesis surgery (artificial ankylosis) of severely paralyzed, "dangling joints restores the ability to work to a large extent. The most frequent subject of arthrodesis is the ankle joint, for which at least 15 different modifications of arthrodesis operations have been suggested to date.

The author reports 98 cases of Planti stomatitis observed in the Charité Polyclinic in Berlin during the second half of 1920. Of these, 87 cases had Plant's angina along with stomatitis, and in 85 cases only one tonsil with adjoining circumference (plica triangularis, mucole) was affected, and in 2 cases both tonsils with mucole were affected.

The examination of the brain by the histological methods of Hiessl and Alzhiemer for the recognition of progressive paralysis is inaccessible to the practical doctor, why Stiefler (Münch. m. Woch., 1923, No. 22) warmly recommends the witty histo-chemical method of Spatz.

Sinus puncture for diagnostic purposes and intrasinus infusions of salvarsan in the treatment of syphilis in infants are widely used by Schönfeld, because it is not always possible to get into the vein of the infant. This method was first introduced in 1916 by Tobler.

Skin diseases caused by iodine consumption in the form of erythema iodide, purpura, acne, jododerma tuberosum and iodist. pemphigus have long been known. Hildebrandt was convinced that Dühring's dermatitis herpetiformis can also result from the action of iodine.

Every Russian physician knows Filatov's "brief textbook," and many more generations of physicians will learn from this book. Looking through it, one is surprised at how little it shows that it was written 30 years ago; this is because in his "brief textbook" Filatov does not dwell on ephemeral hypotheses, theories, etc., but confines himself almost exclusively to the clinical picture of diseases, and in this area he is not surpassed even by the modern coryphaei of pediatrics.

The 208-page book outlines all of hygiene, including general, occupational, school, military, epidemiology, epizootic, and finally, the protection of mothers and children.
