February 17, at I o'clock. A.V. Favorsky, professor of nervous diseases at Kazan University and the Institute for Advanced Medical Studies, died after a serious two-week illness. AV was born in the family of a small employee in the fishery in the city of Astrakhan in 1873. The family of AV's father was large (17 children) and without money. Only a passionate thirst for knowledge and the occasional material support of the master of the trades made it possible for A.V. to enter the gymnasium and graduate from it.

The issue of pathological and histological changes in the kidneys in children with various infections and other diseases cannot be considered sufficiently researched and worked out. Only in certain infections (scarlet fever) has much attention been paid to the study of the kidneys. Most of the works on the issue of interest to us date back to the time when, on the one hand, insufficient importance was attached to the early dissection of corpses and the freshness of the material, which, as is now known, is of particular importance for the histology of the kidney, on the other hand, such interpretation of the detected changes, which do not correspond to the views and concepts of modern nephropathology; Finally, those changes in views on some diseases that have occurred to date, for example, in the issue of disorders of digestion and nutrition in infants, dictate the need for a different approach to the study of renal changes in these diseases.

Until now, it is considered an open question whether quinine acts directly as a parasiticidal action against malarial plasmodia or only activates the formation of natural antibodies. According to Worner, when 0.5 quinine is injected intravenously, it circulates in the blood not at a dilution of 1: 2500, as one might assume, considering the amount of blood in an adult is 5 liters, but a maximum at a dilution of 1:50,000.

With all febrile and other diseases, accompanied by abundant disintegration of blood and other protein bodies, there is an increased excretion of urobilinogens in the urine against the norm. There are especially many urobilinogens in infectious diseases, in particular in acute infections accompanied by a strong increase in temperature, poisoning of the body with bacterial toxins, abundant breakdown of erythrocytes and other protein bodies, from which urobilinogen is ultimately formed.

Treatment with artificial light has recently been widely used in the prevention and treatment of many childhood diseases. Everyone knows the life-giving effect of the sun's rays on the growing body of a child. It is based mainly on the action of ultraviolet rays, which are rich in the solar spectrum. Due to climatic conditions, the use of natural sunlight is limited, especially in our latitudes, and for a long time there have been attempts to find a light source that would have a photo-chemical effect. close to the sun. These turned out to be a Bach mercury-quartz lamp and a carbon-arc lantern, rich in blue, violet and ultraviolet rays.

In 1925, at the First All-Russian Congress of Physiotherapists, prof. A. L. Polenov said that “... one knife in the hands of even the most experienced surgeon is not able to give the victim everything that he can get if this surgeon has at his disposal a full range of all physiotherapeutic devices.” Unquestionably agreeing with Prof. Polenov about the importance of physiotherapy in surgery, I think, however, that a number of physiotherapeutic procedures are not only an auxiliary method in surgical practice, but sometimes they stand at the same height as the surgeon's knife. I mean the method of operative or surgical diathermy, the method that gave we have excellent results in a number of surgical diseases.Surgical diathermy, in contrast to conservative diathermy, aims to replace to some extent the surgeon's knife and use the effect of heat to destroy pathological tissues.The method of surgical diathermy, being new in its technical capabilities, in essence being moxibustion, is method known from ancient times. In the Middle Ages, Arab Achami especially often used the destruction of tissues for therapeutic purposes with hot iron (ferrum cadens). Using for this purpose iron rods, set in wooden handles, and glowing them over coals. Iron bars have recently been replaced by the Paquelin'a thermocouter, which in turn can be supplanted by surgical diathermy.

With acute intestinal obstruction, not only the surgeon has to deal with, but often also the therapist, gynecologist and pediatrician. In the question of intestinal obstruction, far from everything has been clarified: the etiology of this disease is not always clear, and the mechanism of the origin of shock, severe events and the cause of death has not yet been finally clarified. All this explains why the issue of intestinal obstruction has been and is being paid much attention both in periodicals and at surgical congresses. Thus, acute intestinal obstruction was a programmatic issue at the 19th Congress in Leningrad, and the issue of blood chemistry in intestinal obstruction was proposed as a topic for the 22nd Congress. Because of this, we allow ourselves to report on the material we have accumulated.

Being one of the oldest and most studied departments in surgery, the department of hernias is still fraught with a lot of unclear and much that must be explained from the point of view of an abstract hypothesis, and not with irrefutable scientific data. In particular, the pathogenesis of herniae encysticae Cooregі is still very unclear, although many different theories were proposed to explain it, at one time.

“Peritonitis, according to prof. Tikhov, is, undoubtedly, the central point not only of the entire department devoted to surgery of the peritoneum, but of all abdominal surgery in general, and even more so, of all modern surgery. Among the various forms of peritonitis, acute diffuse peritonitis attracts special attention.

O. Sachs, who for the first time proposed intravenous infusion of 20% sterile salicylic pagra solution for the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris, recommends this method to be used in the treatment of gonorrhea, especially its complications. In total, he conducted 103 cases of gonorrhoid urethritis in this way, in the overwhelming number complicated by epididymitis, funiculitis and prostatitis. In 72 patients, he used exclusively intravenous infusions of salicylic sodium, and in the rest, he also used local therapy before, during and after the infusions. He received excellent results from this method of treatment. Out of 72 patients who used only intravenous infusions of salicylic sodium, complete cure was achieved in 39 cases (54.16%), improvement in 32 cases (44.44%), and a negative result in only one. The duration of treatment on average was 21.5 days, each patient had 6.5 injections, with an average amount of salicylic sodium administered in 18.9 grams. With combined treatment, the percentage of complete cure increases even more, but with a larger number of injections and a longer duration period of treatment.

“I was born in Moscow in 1863 — at the turn of 2 eras. I still remember the remnants of serfdom, tallow candles, kerosene lamps, tarantases, dormitories, relay races, flintlock guns, small cannons that looked like toys. Before my eyes, railways with courier trains, steamships were emerging in Russia, electric searchlights, automobiles, airplanes, dreadnoughts, submarines, telephones — wire, wireless, radio telegraphs, 12-inch guns were created. Thus, from a tallow candle to an electric searchlight, from a tarantass to an airplane, from a sailing boat to a submarine, from a gun to Berthe's cannon, and from serfdom to Bolshevism and communism "(Stanislavsky" My Life in Art ").

Histogenetically similar cells can sometimes undergo metaplasia under the influence of little-known reasons. In some cases, the transformation of one type of tissue into another occurs for no apparent reason, such as in various kinds of mixed tumors; in other cases, we observe the phenomenon of metaplasia in chronic tissue irritation (Podvysotsky). Our cases of ossification of the postoperative scars of the abdominal wall and can be interpreted in terms of prolonged irritation of the connective tissue of the aponeurosis of the abdominal muscles with silk sutures, for which, to a certain extent, the shape of the bone formations speaks.

The development of bone tissue in the lung is quite rare, and branchy bone formation is especially rare. Most often, the bone of the stenosis of bronchial cartilage with bronchiectasis develops, then in the form of real bone tumors (osteoma, osteosarcoma, osteochondroma), then, finally, in the form of branched formations, to which the described case belongs.

Ectopic twins can occur as simultaneous uterine and ectopic (tubal) pregnancies, twins in a single tube, simultaneous tubal and ovarian pregnancies, and finally, simultaneous bilateral tubal pregnancies. Combinations of simultaneous pregnancy, uterine and tubal, are not so rare. Cases of bilateral tubal pregnancy are rare. So, Werth could count in world literature up to 1904 only 6 such cases and added to them 2 of his own. In 1913, Malinovsky could count only 15 cases. Zeitlin points out that so far in the world literature there are only 32 cases of bilateral tubal pregnancy.

116th meeting, November 12, 1929 Priv.-Assoc. R. Ya. Gasul. The value of the X-ray method in the study of the genitourinary tract. The study of the morphology and also the motor function of the genitourinary apparatus became possible in a living organism only with the help of an X-ray image of the cavities of the organs under study. There are 2 artificial methods of imaging: 1) by introducing contrast agents that give a contrasting shadow, and 2) air, which gives enlightenment.
