Authors: Lepsky E. M.
Published: February 2022

The thirty-eighth Congress of the German Paediatric Society, which took place September 8-15, 1927, in Vienna and Budapest, was of particular interest because its program was not only rich in scientific content, but also included a large number of visits to institutions, excursions to nearby spas, etc. It is worth mentioning the preliminary organizational work done by the Society's Bureau: each member, who paid in time, received a bundle of documents providing him not only preferential travel by train and steamboat, but also a Hungarian visa, a hotel room for the duration of the Congress, and all kinds of other benefits up to automatic luggage delivery to his apartment.
The current state of bacteriophagy
Authors: Shekhter E.
Published: February 2022

All theories of bacteriophagy generally fall into two categories: theories that consider a "living" cause, a special ultramicrobe-parasite bacteria, as the basis of the phenomenon, and theories that consider the bacteriophage lysine a product of the bacteria themselves. Of the theories of the first group, the most complete and consistent is the theory of the author, to whom we owe the discovery of the phenomenon that bears his name.

The effect of corticosteroid therapy on the state of the cardiovascular system in children with nephritis
Authors: Slutskaya G. M.
Published: February 2022

Cardiovascular disorders are one of the main syndromes in the clinical picture of glomerulonephritis in both adults and children. In recent years, due to the use of corticosteroid hormones, nephritis in children proceeds more favorably [1, 6]. The effect of steroid therapy on the development of cardiovascular pathology in patients with nephritis has not been studied. R.E. Mazo, based on observations of the dynamics of ECG and BCG in children with lingering forms of nephritis treated with small doses of prednisolone, suggests that this treatment has a beneficial effect on the course of cardiovascular syndrome. Further study of this issue is necessary, especially in connection with the change in the method of nephritis treatment in the direction of increasing the dose of hormones and lengthening the course of treatment [6].

Upper urinary tract condition after cystectomy with urine diversion into an artificial bladder
Authors: Sitdykov E. N.
Published: February 2022

Of the many proposed methods of urine diversion during cystectomy operations, ureterosigmostomy continues to be the most common. However, the diversion of urine into the large intestine is known to cause a high mortality rate from pyelonephritis and renal failure. L. N. Pogozheva (1967) reports that all 16 patients observed by her, who underwent ureteral transplantation into the intestine as a preparatory stage for cystectomy, died in the first six months after the operation from pyelonephritis and renal failure. Immediate mortality from pyelonephritis and renal failure, according to A. P. Tsulukidze and D. D. Murvanidze (1955), is 24%, and in later periods this percentage increases significantly. Of our 28 patients who underwent cystectomy and ureterosigmostomy, 21 died from pyelonephritis and renal failure in a period from 1 week to 1.5 years.

Published: February 2022

The problem of functional disorders of the menstrual cycle traditionally includes several aspects: gynecological, endocrine and psychological. There are very contradictory points of view about the occurrence of these disorders: some authors consider them as somatic manifestations of diseases of the central nervous system [8], others - as a result of the influence of psychogenic factors [1]. Some researchers have tried to describe menstrual irregularities in the context of the psychoendocrine syndrome [4].

To the diagnosis of vertebral radiculitis
Authors: Popelyansky Ya. Yu.
Published: February 2022

With the establishment of the discogenic nature of the so-called lumbosacral radiculitis, a new approach to the examination technique was required: although the predominant symptomatology is neurological, it is still secondary, while the primary is the lesion of the spine. The interlacing of orthopedic and neurological symptoms (compression of nerve formations, reflex muscular-tonic reactions, etc.) requires not a simple sum of old orthopedic and neurological techniques, but a combination of these old methods with a qualitatively new one - neuro-orthopedic (A.I. Osna and Ya. Yu. Popelyansky, 1966). Some methods of examination of patients with lumbosacral radiculitis are outlined by us in another work (1966). Here, we are talking about a study relating only to the lumbar region, with the main focus on the techniques worked out in the last three years.

Roentgenodiagnosis of radiation changes of the small intestine
Authors: Abdulkhakova D. A.
Published: February 2022

Clinico-roentgenologic changes of the small intestine in 87 women after radiotherapy performed in case of cervical carcinoma of IIII stages are studied. The changes of the small intestine in early and late terms after radiotherapy in the form of dyskinesia, pathologic segmentation, flocculation, more rarely fragmentation of barium suspension column, in some cases, mucous membrane folds edema are revealed. The ileum located in radiation zone is principally damaged. The changes are more pronounced in patients with fixation of intestinal loops by postoperative commissures and suffering from enteritis before radiotherapy. The inadequacy of complaints of patients to the manifestation extent of the small intestine changes revealed by roentgenodiagnosis is characteristic.
Prevention of radiation damage
Authors: Gilev A. V. , Volodina G. I.
Published: February 2022

The development and implementation of precision methods for pre-radiation topodosimetric preparation has significantly reduced the frequency of radiation injuries. The use of the VDF and NSD factors made adjustments to the planning of bioequivalent radiation regimes. Despite this, radiation complications remain a frequent limiting factor in radiation therapy. Recent studies have shown that the development and formation of radiation damage seems to be a complex and diverse process, not all aspects of which have been sufficiently studied. In the overwhelming number of patients who have undergone radiation therapy, there is a decrease in immunity parameters [12]. In the development of radiation injuries, the infection of the radiation zone [17], the prevalence of the malignant process [4], and regional circulatory disorders [6] are of direct importance. The conditions that predispose to the occurrence of radiation damage are trauma and inflammation. The frequency of radiation damage increases with the use of various types of chemotherapy, especially in combination with radiation therapy and hyperthermia [10]. The listed factors, which determine the development of distant radiation damage, create a prerequisite for the development of measures that protect the healthy tissues surrounding the tumor [8].
On the etiology and therapy of alopeciae areatae
Authors: Kozlova A. M.
Published: February 2022

Aloresia areata in different cases has different origin. This is confirmed by our material, in which out of 25 cases where lues could be excluded by Wassermann's study and fungal infection by hair microscopic study, in 4 cases the occurrence of baldness could be attributed to nervous disturbances, in 3 to endocrine system disorders, while in the rest the etiology of the disease remained unexplained. Practically, it is important that in these cases, different etiology of the disease corresponded to different therapeutic effect of different treatment methods.

Requirements for experimental approbation of medicinal cosmetics
Authors: Egorova S. N.
Published: February 2022

Cosmetic products (KS) are mass consumption products. They usually include biologically active substances (BAS): vitamins, plant extracts, enzymes, amino acids, antiseptics. The sale of cosmetic products containing biologically active substances is accompanied by advertising of their anti-inflammatory and regenerating effect on the skin, effectiveness against acne, dandruff and other conditions requiring medical intervention. Medical cosmetics (LC) and pharmaceutical dermatological preparations have different functional purposes. Requirements for medicinal products, in particular for pharmaco-toxicological, clinical research and quality control, are strictly regulated by the relevant instructions of the Pharmacological Committee and the State Pharmacopoeia. The effectiveness of the LA is not always evaluated, since it is intended only for cleaning and protecting the skin, skin and hair care, prophylactic action in case of a tendency to pathological conditions.

Published: February 2022

Various aspects of the problem were discussed at the plenary and breakout sessions, as well as at the round table. Prof. M. Ya. Ruda (Moscow) in his report Modern approaches to the treatment of acute myocardial infarction noted that restoration of coronary blood flow is the key to successful treatment of the disease. Pointing out that myocardial necrosis begins 30 minutes after the occlusion of the coronary artery, after 2 hours 50% of the affected area "dies", and after 4 hours - all 100%, he stressed that from these positions, after 4 hours from the onset of the disease, thrombolytic therapy already ineffective. Therefore, it should be started at the prehospital stage. The most widely used tissue plasminogen activator and, especially, streptase (ST), with the use of which less often develop retrombosis and cerebral strokes. In addition, the CT is cheaper. In the prevention of retrombosis, aspirin, heparin can be useful (5000 units intravenously, then infusion of 1000 units per hour for 2 days under the control of blood clotting time). Prof. M. Ya. Ruda also said that at present, the administration of magnesium salts is widely used abroad in the acute period of myocardial infarction, which significantly reduces mortality. Perhaps, he added, "they will soon start with magnesium salts."

Toward the current status of abdominal caesarean section
Authors: Gruzdev V. S. , Timofeev A. I.
Published: February 2022

Several thousand years have passed since the abdominal caesarian operation, known as far back as the ancient Egyptians and included in the legislation of the Romans of the time of kings, began to be used on the dead. More than 300 years have passed since Trautmann, in Wittenberg, first successfully performed it on the living (in 1610). Finally, several decades have passed since when, thanks to the successes of antiseptics and asepsis, this operation, like many others, from almost absolutely lethal has become relatively safe for the mother. Under such conditions and with the truly colossal literature on the question of caesarian section - it would seem that this issue should have long been resolved in every detail, and in it now can not be introduced any more or less major innovations.However, this is far from being the case: in fact, it is in recent times, over the last 10 to 15 years, that we have found a number of significant changes in this area. One of these changes concerns the scope of the caesarean section and the indications for it. This change is directly related to the outcomes of the operation, both for the fetus and especially for the mother.
Are Paris greens suitable for killing the larvae of malarial mosquitoes?
Authors: Herman O. A. , Kolosov Yu. M. , Lipin N. M.
Published: February 2022

Recently after our articles "Paris greens as a means of struggle against larvae of malarial mosquitoes" and "Parisergrn als Anopheles-Larvizid" there appeared 2 articles on the same subject by F. I. Yatsenko, in which the author, considering his experiments in laboratory and natural conditions quite convincing, advises to use Parisergrn instead of oil and kerosene on huge areas (calculations are made on tens!) and suggests that Parisergrn promises to displace all other larvicides. In view of the fact that our experiments published earlier as well as those which we made further do not give us the right to consider Paris greens as an excellent larvicide, we will dwell first on Yatsenko's experiments to clarify whether they really allow to draw conclusions about superiority of greens over kerosene and oil and then we will pass to description of our new experiments which did not give a difference with the previous ones.

The femur, shoulder and clavicle were fractured during childbirth, mostly in the diaphyseal part. Usually the periosteum in these fractures is intact due to its strength and considerable thickness and fits around the bone fragments like a socket. Newborn bones, poor in salts, are less fragile than in adults and do not form sharp ends; because of this, fractures occur as "fractures en bois vert" ("green twig fracture"), without length and lateral displacement, but simply bent at an angle. In addition, muscle retraction in newborns is weakly expressed.

If 3-4 years ago a patient came to us with complaints of late pains after eating, of hunger and night pains, if he had an increased content of free HCI in the gastric juice, blood in the gastric contents or in the feces, and if finally we probed his hypertrophied and painful pylorus, we probably would not hesitate to diagnose a stomach ulcer or duodenal ulcer. Now with such categoricalness and certainty we cannot and should not make such diagnosis. Because now we know, especially due to wide use of gastroscopy (mainly in Germany) and also due to wide spread of gastrointestinal surgery, that the whole symptom complex, which we considered almost pathognomonic for stomach or duodenal ulcer, can be present in diseases of the stomach, where there is no ulcer and never was. We now know of the existence of "ulcer disease without ulcers"-Ulcuskrankheit ohne Ulcus!

On the definition of constitution and its importance in the woman's labor function
Authors: Chukalov N. N.
Published: February 2022

Without going into a critical evaluation of some methods of research of morphological constitution, we would like only to emphasize that the measuring method involuntarily bribes in its favor with its objectivity and greater accuracy. This circumstance prompted us to try the application of this method in the allocation of constitutional types. Starting this task, first of all, of course, we had to stop at the choice of a certain classification of the types of morphological constitution. At the same time, wishing to narrow the problem beyond the limits of testing the measuring method in relation to constitutional types quite established by descriptive methods, we decided so far to choose such constitutional types which, on the one hand, can be allocated quite definitely, and on the other hand, in relation to which their influence on manifestation of physiological and pathological conditions in a woman is known.

Treatment with CaCl2 iontophoresis for tbc lung and bronchial asthma. B. Broderson and V. Stoyanovskaya (Physiotherapy, 1928, No. 3)
Authors: Klyachkin L. N.
Published: February 2022

The authors observed positive results from treatment with Ca iontophoresis in cases of productive, fibrotic lung tbc in a subcompensated state. On the contrary, in open stage III lung tbc, even if compensated, the use of this method is contraindicated. When treating pulmonary tbc with Ca iontophoresis, longitudinally placed electrodes and low-intensity sessions should be used.

Professor S. S. Zimnitsky, as a scientist
Authors: Luria R. A.
Published: February 2022

Russian medicine undoubtedly lost in Professor S.S. Zimnitsky one of the major therapists, a learned clinician, very gifted, with an inquisitive, eternally searching mind of a philosopher researcher. It is difficult now, when this loss is still so fresh, to draw a full and true picture of S.S.'s scientific quests and give an objective assessment of what he contributed to our science - difficult because new ideas in medicine often lose much to contemporaries just when they are especially bright, especially paradoxical, and are recognized as scientific truth only much later, when they have passed all tests of strict and often biased criticism.

Features of nicotinism in patients with schizophrenia
Authors: Mendelevich V. D. , Kulagin A. T.
Published: February 2022

Based on a survey of 60 patients with schizophrenia and 25 patients with epilepsy, the structure of nicotinism is described; the motivating components of smoking are analyzed. Correlations were found between an increase in smoking intensity and an increase in psychotic anxiety, as well as the appearance of symptoms of an neuroleptic syndrome (in particular, akathisia). The structure of nicotinism in patients with schizophrenic defect was studied. Cigarette addiction in this group reflects the mechanism of schizophrenic dissolution of the psyche and can be considered as an integral part of painful disorders of the volitional process.

Pulmonary consumption and heart disease
Authors: Gryaznov S. D.
Published: February 2022

Very often the first signs of tuberculosis are tachycardia, slight excitability of the heart and other cardiac phenomena with very little change in the lungs or bronchial glands. On the other hand, on the basis of some cardiac diseases, undoubtedly, pulmonary sufferings can also develop. Thus the relationship between vascular and cardiac diseases on the one hand and pulmonary diseases on the other is undoubted.
On acute appendicitis, its complications and surgical intervention
Authors: Sokolov N. V.
Published: February 2022

Work in the clinic of emergency surgical care convinced me how few free patients with acute attack of appendicitis in the first day of the disease are delivered to surgeons in Kazan and how, on the contrary, relatively many of them are delivered with severe complications of appendicitis - appendectal pustules and peritonitis, both limited and diffuse. This circumstance prompts me to pay attention to the question of timely intervention in acute appendicitis - a question which does not exist in the West, does not exist in America, which is solved in our centers, but which in conditions of the Kazan reality acquires a special importance.
Symptomatology of intestinal intussusception
Authors: Aleev A. E.
Published: February 2022

The vast majority of cases of intestinal obstruction are clinically acute, belonging to the group of diseases requiring emergency care. In this kind of cases we usually have enough data at our disposal to ensure correct recognition. It is true that in some cases the type and location of the intestinal obstruction may remain unrecognized, but in practical terms both for the doctor and for the patient this circumstance is not of great importance. Let it be a blockage of the intestine, its twisting or intussusception - in all cases we face an acute form of the process, which requires urgent intervention, which must lead to one goal - elimination of the obstruction, the main moment, which determines all the severity of the disease.
On the issue of interstitial pregnancy
Authors: Belyaev E. I.
Published: February 2022

Pregnancy in the interstitial part of the tube, i.e. in the part of the tube that lies in the uterine wall, is relatively rare. Thus, according to Rosenthal's compilation statistics, among 1,324 cases of ectopic pregnancy, 3% were interstitial. Lawson-Tait notes only one case of interstitial pregnancy per 100 cases of ectopic pregnancy. In Povival Institute (Prof. Ott) from 1904 to 1907 on 71 cases of ectopic pregnancy also met only one case of interstitial pregnancy. Gubarev saw the latter only once in his practice. Werth did not see it even once. During the 35 years of the existence of the Obstetrical Clinic of the Leningrad State Clinical Institute, the first case of interstitial pregnancy was described only in 1924. The four cases of interstitial pregnancy described below are also the first in the last 28 years of the Kazan Obstetrical Gynecological Clinic.

Concentrated nutrition for diarrhea in young children. B. Balaban (Pediatrics, 1927, No. 1)
Authors: Egereva S.
Published: February 2022

In view of the fact that the diet hitherto used in young children for diarrheal diseases is not complete because of the lack of fat and leads to exhaustion when used for a long time, B. Balaban on the basis of the work of Czerny, Moro and Kleinschmidt indicating that fat administered in the right proportions and in the appropriate form is also tolerated by the labile intestine, performed a series of experiments using Czerny and Moro mixtures for diarrhea. A total of 40 cases were carried out by him, the central group of observations being diarrhea in dystrophics.
