Inflammation belongs to those chapters of pathology that, being well studied, are, however, subject to frequent fundamental re-examination and arouse deep interest and attention among pathologists of all ages. If for every doctor of any specialty it is necessary to have a clear idea of the essence of the phenomenon that makes up the inflammatory reaction, then this is all the more necessary for a physiotherapist, since the result of the influence of most physiotherapeutic stimuli is a reaction approaching the type of inflammatory in its clinical manifestation, and when the stimulus increases, it directly passes into it (burn). The exact differentiation of these reactions and the clinical significance of such a facet can be clarified only by knowing the dynamic characteristics of an organism or a separate tissue site both in cases of inflammation and when exposed to physiotherapeutic stimuli. The latter provision formed the basis of this work,

The works of recent years have clearly shown the importance that the alkaline-acid balance has in the physiology and pathology of the animal organism. The desire to maintain this balance at a certain height occurs by coordinating the work of a number of organs: the lungs, secreting C02, the liver, taking part in the production of ammonia, the gastrointestinal tract, secerning acid and alkaline secretions and, finally, the kidneys, giving urine with a high acid content and someone's slit, then with less-take part in the regulation of alkaline—acid balance. That is why, naturally, the study of the functions of various organs aimed at regulating and maintaining the alkaline-acid balance attracted the attention of clinicians. Rehn and Günzburg, then Pannewitz, Popescu, Inotesti. Su11a, and finally Rosenberg and Hellfors, studying fluctuations in the concentration of hydrogen ions in urine after loading with alkalis and acids, sought to gain an idea of kidney function aimed at maintaining the gap.- acids. balance, and at the same time apply this method to the study of the functional state of the kidneys in general. However, it turned out to be insufficient to talk about this condition on the basis of determining the Ph of urine. The Ph fluctuations are not always sufficiently prominent, as the review of the data obtained by the authors shows, because the concentration of hydrogen ions is a value depending on the ratio of acid to alkali (voltage 002 and bicarbonate content). This forced us to put forward another method for determining changes in the functions of tissues and kidneys for the introduction of alkali: Mainzer et al., A. G e f t e r emphasized the importance of the determination of bicarbonates in urine and suggested using the method of their determination by gasometric method (according to van Slyke'y), while giving this definition a much greater value than the study of Ph fluctuations alone.

Regarding the spread of worm infestations, their role in human pathology, there is a large literature both abroad and here, and yet practitioners take little account of this important factor in general pathology, as well as the economic and economic effect of anti-worm measures among the population and especially among the actively insured. Numerous neurotic, anaemic patients with chronic gastrointestinal tract sufferings flood our outpatient clinics; various, sometimes contradictory diagnoses are made, they are often given disability sheets, and meanwhile, in a significant percentage, these patients could maintain their ability to work with simple anthelminthological measures, and the insurance authorities would save considerable funds on this.

The idea of the possibility of access from the lumbar incision to the liver, gallbladder and ducts is not new; there are numerous references to this in the literature (Fgapk, Meags, Tu ffieg, Wgight, Reboul, Trinkler, etc.). Frank, for example, even points to the benefits of a lumbar incision for surgery on the biliary tract in terms of convenience of postoperative treatment, convenience of drainage and less danger of postoperative hernias. Most recently, Härtel) has been focusing the attention of surgeons on lumbar incisions for operations not only on retroperitoneal organs, but also for abdominal operations (spleen, pancreas, duodenum, colon, etc.). Without mentioning the whole issue here, I must say that the clinic has enough reasons for wanting to get operative access to the right kidney and gallbladder simultaneously. The first reason for this in normal conditions may be diagnostic difficulties. There are cases when the surgeon, exposing the kidney, simultaneously felt the stones in the gallbladder and was forced to continue the operation on the bile ducts from the same incision.

The problem of abortion continues to be a burning issue of our time. Although the draft laws of some countries provide for the possibility of non-criminalization of abortion under certain conditions and for social reasons, in fact the only state where abortion for social reasons has already been legalized is the USSR. It is natural, therefore, that Russian robots, instead of endless arguments for and against legalization, are mainly engaged in studying the issue of the consequences of legalization.

Since Sänger in 1889 drew attention to his 'shaped tumor-chorio-epithelioma, [characterized by extreme malignancy and some of its inherent features, the question of this disease has become the subject of numerous reports and heated debates. However, to this day, the genesis of this disease remains unclear. It is only known that chorio-epithelioma develops in women mainly at the childbearing age and is closely dependent on pregnancy, in particular on pregnancy with a rapid drift. "Without pregnancy," says Veit, "there is no chorio-epithelioma." However, cases of this tumor have been described that are unrelated to pregnancy and even to the female genital sphere. So Volkmann, Di1man, Vlasov, Sch1agenhaufeg, Vasiliev observed chorio-epithelioma in men. Most authors consider such formations to have a teratoid-embryoid character. Many authors have described a similar disease, referring it to sarcomas (Gottschalk), then to carcinomas, even before the start, to the end, and to the end. At the same time, all the attention of researchers was paid to the pathological and anatomical side of this disease. The whole mass of names assigned to this tumor belongs to this time: deciduoma malignum, placentoma, deciduo-sarcoma.

The Lagleuse method, which is a modification of the Panas'a operation, was published in 18921). In subsequent reports (1904 2; and 1905 3) L. notes that, having carried out this operation for 10 years (300 times), he never saw relapses. With the exception of the observations of Lanotti2) (85 cases within 4 years), which received the best results, and a cursory mention by Löhlein'a1), I could not find any more works on this operation in the foreign literature. In Russian literature, there are also few of them (Sadovnikova4), Sheffer5), Krylov6) and Smolyaninov7). The description of the operation is also included in the “Course of Eye Diseases0 by Kryukov and Odintsov8) - It seems to me that it would not be a mistake to assert that L.'s method has been given a little space not only in the literature, but also in practice — this method is not widespread. Meanwhile, the op has a number of advantages, thanks to which it deserves more attention and interest.

Pannous inflammation of the cornea, as one of the earliest and most dangerous complications of trachoma, in its severity, course and significance for the patient's vision is not always in one way or another correlated with the strength or duration of the trachomatous process in the mucus of the eye. If in some cases the pannus disappears soon and without a trace, so to speak, by itself or solely under the influence of appropriate treatment of the conjunctiva of the arches and eyelids alone, then in other cases, most often encountered in the practice of an eye doctor, despite the most vigorous therapy of trachoma, the pannus not only does not show a tendency to reverse development, but, gradually or by leaps, from the initial, lighter degrees (pannus incipiens, R. levis) to more severe and persistent forms (R. crassus, R. sarcomatosus), often ulcerating at the same time and ending in cicatricial degeneration of the cornea (p membranaceus), leads the trachomaticus to complete inactivity for his entire subsequent existence. And since, in heavily overworked areas, an eye doctor has to deal with the most severe forms of this disease and its most diverse complications, of which corneal pannus accounts for more than a third of all of them, and the consequences, it is natural that the question of not mediocre treatment of pannus becomes urgent and requires practical measures of a special nature.

10/VII 1930, a 24-year-old peasant Chuvash woman was admitted to the Cheboksary hospital due to severe uterine bleeding.

Joining the view of H. M. Nikolaev that every case of deformity that occurs should be studied within the limits of modern possibility, we decided to publish our case of congenital hernia with contents in the hernial sac of the liver, spleen and intestines, as a deformity that, judging by the literature available to us, is infrequent.

After the publication of the last edition of "Operational obstetrics" prof. Many years have passed by Fenomenov, and thus a major defect has arisen in the supply of a practicing obstetrician with a guide to operative obstetrics, which would more or less satisfy the needs of obstetric medical practice. This defect is now becoming even more noticeable for two reasons: 1) the almost complete absence of solid manuals on obstetrics in general, which, for example, should be fully considered "Obstetrics" by prof. V.S.Gruzdev and 2) a significant progressive increase in the number of doctors who have to pay great or exclusive attention to this type of medical care (doctors of special obstetric departments, consultations, medical specialists in large hospitals in factories, factories, state farms, collective farms, district doctors). The lack of manuals and textbooks on obstetrics is especially acute in medical universities, where the mastery of the discipline by students often occurs only "from the words" of the teacher and where, therefore, the activation of teaching methods is reduced to replacing lectures with group tutoring conversations. This is why the release of the peer-reviewed Guideline. However, we think that the work that has appeared should be welcomed also because in itself it is of great value and not only for the student, - “the future district doctor,” as the authors thought when compiling the Guide, but also for a practical doctor. in his day-to-day obstetric work, and for the postgraduate obstetrician at the Postgraduate Postgraduate Institutes, and for the teacher.

The I-th All-Union Oncological Congress, held on July 8-12, 1931 in Kharkiv, attracted the urgent attention of not only the medical mass, but also the general public. Prominent scientific forces took part in the work of the congress, such as Professors Petrov (Leningrad), Anichkov (Leningrad), Abrikosov (Moscow), Zilberberg (Odessa), Shirokogorov (Baku), Bukhman (Rostov n/A), Harmandaryan (Kharkov), Melnikov (Kharkov), Bykhovsky, Harshak (Kiev) and many others. others, representatives of many clinics, institutes and research departments, delegates of workers of industrial enterprises and socio-professional organizations. The exceptional interest of the planned program issues attracted the most remote periphery to the congress (Vladivostok, Tiflis, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Petrozavodsk, the Southern Coast of Crimea, the Caucasus, the Urals, etc.).
