The author, studying various blood vessels in alcoholics and in animals poisoned with alcohol, found that in the blood vessels of animals of different types alcohol causes the same changes.
The author's paper addresses three questions: 1) the relationship of agglutinating properties of the blood of normal adult animals and their newborn babies; 2) the transmission of agglutinins during pregnancy and the independent production of agglutinins by the fetus during the mother's infection; and 3) the cumulative transmission of the property of cultivating agglutinins.
The author draws the attention of practitioners and laboratory researchers to the new application in medical practice of Herbae Equiseti arvensis — horsetail as a hemostatic agent.
The author describes a case of leukemia, which, judging by a reliable anamnesis, was quickly, but not recognized during the patient's life. The main painful process was masked here by nervous crisis.
Urotropine, which has found a rather significant application, especially in foreign practice, in which there are metabolic disorders related to renal activity and urinary tract suffering, has caused extensive literature looking at both its pharmacological activity and its therapeutic application.
Previously, the author in the table gives 35 cases of subcutaneous application of atropine by various authors with intestinal obstruction in adults, of which 6 ended in death.
Vincent itself distinguishes between 2 forms of angina, differing in their clinical course and the microorganisms found. The first form is diphtheroid, which is lighter and more rare. The second form is ulceromembranous, a heavier and more common form.
On the clinical side, two forms of births are distinguished in newborns: 1) in septic children and 2) in healthy children; even epidemics are described in the latter.
In addition to the normally existing holes and pockets in the peritoneum, which can give rise to internal infringement of the intestines, the conditions for this can be created both by a chronically inflammatory process that forms fibrous bridges, and by other origins of connective tissue strands.
A 12-year-old schoolboy, free from the inheritance of nervous and mental illnesses and syphilis, first developed mild convulsive seizures 2-3 times a day, then became more frequent up to 20 and more times a day.
In 1900, Gersuni published a successful result achieved by injecting paraffin in cases of urinary incontinence in a woman due to loss of cystic forceps.
The author was convinced that, as bougienage does not give a lasting result in the treatment of urethral strictures, not one of the methods of operative intervention is able to destroy the infiltrate leading to shrinkage, and most importantly, to prevent the fusion of the region of the strictures produced. Having developed his own method of treatment, the author suggests it as the most conducive to the elimination of at least functional symptoms of suffering.
The question of spinal anaesthesia, which began in 1885 in the practice of the American L. Corning is far from being developed, and spinal aesthesia is not often used in surgical practice, especially in Russia, where most have a negative implication.
The beginning of the scientific development of lung surgery dates back to 1873, when Mosier and Hüter performed the first pneumotomy for superficial bronchiectasis. Experimental observations on animals belonging to Glück, Schmidt, Block and others, have proven the possibility of pulmonary surgery and the endurance of the lung to surgical intervention.
A 40-year-old woman has developed a tumor in her stomach in the course of several months, accompanied by symptoms of emaciation. An objective examination revealed a lumpy tumor that occupied the middle of the abdomen.
In offering a magnesia intestinal button, Chlumsky talks about a mild sucking up in the gastrointestinal tract. However, Zeldovic's observation of the unequal destruction of the magnesia button that has been isolated in three cases leads to doubts about the correctness of Chlumsky's conclusions.
Primary stomach sarcoma is a rare disease. Currently, only 60 cases of this kind are described in the literature. As for the pathological-anatomical type of sarcoma, the round and spindle-shaped cells (the most common type), lymphosarcomas, myosarcomas and angiosarcomas (the least frequent) are described.
Any clinical confirmation of experimental data on increased virulence of saprophyting microorganisms is very valuable both from the point of view of microbiology and from the point of view of clinical diagnosis. Such is the case of Dr. Arapov, described by him in the cited article.
The author considers 3 cases of multiple symmetric lipomas given in the article as evidence for the theory of the nervous origin of this type of tumors.
The described anomaly consists primarily in the fact that a. carotis communis sinistra begins from the aortic arch not as an independent trunk, but departs from the unnamed artery at a height of 1 ctm. and rises to its place, crossing the trachea.
As for the current Russian laws on anomalies in the organs of vision that allow or restrict the ability to perform military service, hyperopia, for which the law does not specify a predetermined degree, is completely ignored, compatible with the requirements of military service. Any hyperopia, no matter how high its degree of abnormal refraction, is recognised as extremely suitable for military service, unless it has a normal visual acuity without glasses.
In Dr Sychev's case, the right eye of a 24-year-old patient was completely displaced from the orbit and, being in the eye slot, rested on the cheek in the fossae caninae area. The eye was red, painful at the touch, blind and had a cornea of leucoma centrale.
I. Аіkmаn. (21) draws attention to the weakening of the respiratory movements of the 2nd and 3rd left intercostal space with pericarditis, when there are still no usual signs of inflammation, such as dullness and noises. These symptoms can appear only after a few days (after 2 - 4) after the beginning of changes in respiratory movements. During recovery, the weakening disappears — with the return of pericarditis, it appears again.
