"Studying the clinic of late metasiphilitic diseases of the stomach in order to be able to distinguish them from similar and very similar diseases of the stomach of non-syphilitic origin, the doctor will receive great satisfaction and a brilliant effect of his treatment, often bordering on a miraculous deliverance of the patient from mortal danger."

Discovered in 1843 by the Englishman Liston and having their own casuistry abroad, seminal cysts, as far as we know from the literature available to us, are described only twice in Russian literature: Sinitsyn in 1900 and Rabinovich in 1927. Meanwhile, both of these authors believe that seminal cyst is not so rare, but due to the difficulty of differential diagnosis with dropsy of the testicle or, less often, the spermatic cord, is often viewed as a sui generis disease and is diagnosed with these sufferings. 9 cases of Sinitsyn, 7 cases of Rabinovich and the complete absence of them from other Russian surgeons (at least published, except for the case of Dr. Fedorov, reported at a meeting of the Surgeon section of the Medical Association at Kazan University 26/III 1928 - g.) involuntarily makes one think that seminal cysts are diagnosed only when they are meant, and that they occur much more often than they think.

The question of the care of the umbilical cord and the umbilical cord residue (about the time of separation of the umbilical cord, the method of separating it, the length of the stump, the method of caring for the umbilical cord residue, about the time of its separation, the condition of the subsequent umbilical wound, the meaning of the "umbilical gate for infection of the body, etc.), of course, is not new and has long occupied the minds of many doctors. But still, despite the fact that those who practically came into contact with the newborn were very interested in this issue, the latter has not yet been finally resolved. Many ways of separating the umbilical cord and caring for the umbilical cord of a newborn have been proposed, and there is not one universally recognized. There are supporters of early and late separation of the umbilical cord, supporters of different ways of separating it (dressing, annealing, one cut, crushing, clamping, etc.), supporters of leaving a long and short stump, supporters of aseptic and antiseptic care, dry and oil dressing, supporters of replaceable and permanent dressing, bathing and non-bathing in the first days after birth, etc.

The growth of gonorrhea in the post-war period increased so dramatically that it acquired the character of a social disaster. German scientist Prof. Wagner, comparing statistics on gonorrhea during the time before the war and after it, found that in the post-war period the growth of gonorrhea diseases increased by 266% - A fact that should be pondered. In our Union, although there are no such comparative statistical data, there is still almost no doubt that in the post-war period the number of gonorrhea patients increased dramatically. Moreover, gonorrhea has penetrated into the village, where, in the absence of proper treatment, it flourishes and cripples women of working age. Unfortunately for us, we do not have such methods of treatment with which it would be possible to eliminate gonorrhea easily and quickly; and, worst of all, often we cannot even recognize it where it exists.

Now everyone already knows that gonorrhea, this scourge of humanity, in each individual case, from the first moment gonococcus enters the human body, is not only a local, but also a general infectious process, and with the appearance of some complication, the prognosis of gonorrhea becomes in some cases even life-threatening to the patient. The doctrine of gonorrhea, especially female, has recently made tremendous progress. Works by Bumm, Wertheim, Fritsch. Dunkler, Menge, Schroeder, etc. We have made a lot of new developments in the development of the pathological anatomy of gonorrhea infection and the histopathology of gonorrhea of the female genital organs.

The area of the temporal lobes, which not so long ago belonged to the number of "dumb", has recently gradually acquired some topical symptoms. From the material at our disposal, we would like to identify a number of symptoms that, on the one hand, occur with temporal tumors, on the other-the possibility of which must be borne in mind in the presence of neoplasms of this area. This is especially important for neurosurgeons in cases where a threatening drop in vision does not give the right to wait for the formed symptom complex. Early diagnosis of temporal tumors is especially important also in the sense that this area is the most convenient for surgical intervention and it is especially unpleasant to lose sight due to late surgery.

In the "Proceedings of the State Institute for the usover. doctors", vol. II, for. 1931, due to an oversight of the editorial board, an article by Dr. D. N. Matveev "Mathematics in medicine" appeared.

Not all doctors know about the system of correspondence improvement. Those who know about this system do not know about its advantages and advantages, and some look at the correspondence system as unworthy of them. The latter category believes that the doctor has nothing to resort to a correspondence improvement system, that this system is suitable only for people with secondary education. To supplement their knowledge, these comrades subscribe to several magazines. Without denying the importance of the journal in replenishing the knowledge of doctors, we nevertheless want to draw the attention of comrades that journals do not give everything to the reader. Our goal is to show our comrades that the distance learning system plays a colossal and exceptional role both in raising the qualifications of a doctor, in his Marxist-Leninist upbringing, and in guiding his daily actions. In fact, the courses of correspondence advanced training of doctors at the Institute of Correspondence Education of the NKZDRAV in Moscow are arranged in such a way that they fully provide the noted provisions.

The participation of the medical masses in the anti-alcohol movement -with few exceptions -is so weak and unorganized that it forces them to fix attention on themselves, because who else but a doctor should be the initiator and active participant in the fight against the green snake and the conductor of the ideas of sobriety. This is required by the biosocial significance of the problem of the anti-alcohol movement, especially now-during the period of reconstructive growth of our national economy and continuous collectivization. A meeting of doctors-members of the first plenum of the All-Union Council of Anti-Alcohol Societies in the USSR —recognized the need to organize a medical section at the All-Union Anti-Alcohol Congress and links with medical congresses in order to attract the medical masses to the fight against drug addiction). In addition, it was decided to put in the general press the question of the role of the doctor in the fight against alcohol, as well as about the abstinence of doctors in general and especially narcologists, psychiatrists, etc.

The fight against alcoholism in the USSR, which began with therapeutic and preventive and voluntary public assistance, was marked in 1929 by a major victory*-the opening of a Drug Reception Center-a medical institution whose task is to provide medical care to acutely poisoned alcoholics. It is quite obvious that an alcoholic in a state of intoxication needs the same medical care as any acutely ill person; it is possible only in institutions specially adapted for this purpose.

I used my stay in Switzerland, at the International Congress on Occupational Pathology and Traumatology, to visit the widely advertised first Swiss Exhibition of Hygiene and Sports (Hyspa) in Bern. I will not dwell on the description of the exhibition, the numerous departments of which are not of great interest to us. I think, however, it is necessary to focus on the section illustrating the spread of goiter in Switzerland and measures to combat it; especially since we have a number of localities where goiter is significantly widespread (in particular in the Mari Autonomous Region).

According to the decisions of the VI th International Psychotechnical Conference in Utrecht, the III th International conference took place here in the USSR. The Congress revealed with sufficient clarity (the main points, however, were clear before) that we do not and cannot have a common language with the majority of delegates who came from capitalist countries. Their psychotechnics- the flesh of the flesh of capitalism - and our Soviet psychotechnics have completely different attitudes and pursue completely different goals. The latter circumstance was revealed two or three days before the formal opening of the congress, when the commissions of the International Psychotechnical Association began to work. The Soviet representatives in the commissions 'made concrete proposals and draft resolutions on the work of the commissions, and that's where the heated debate broke out, and it turned out that it was impossible to find a common one.the language is due to the difference in the basic principles. Prof. Lipman- the actual chairman of several commissions, due to the non-appearance of a number of foreign delegates -immediately took up arms against the attempts of Soviet delegates to justify their proposals with the principles of dialectical materialism. Prof. Lipman stated that he did not come at all to "engage in philosophy", He never agreed to introduce into the draft resolution the wording of the Soviet delegates-about the advantages that the Soviet form of production gives to increase labor productivity and at the same time to combat injuries. In response to the strong arguments of the Soviet delegates, Prof. Lipman was forced to declare: "I personally agree with the opinion of the Soviet delegates, but I do not consider it scientifically justified." It goes without saying that this meant in fact the rejection of the proposals of the Soviet delegation. Therefore, to the resolutions of the majority of the commissions (on taking into account the influence of the human factor on labor productivity, on injuries, on the influence of the social environment, on terminology), the Soviet delegates made their additions to the congress, rejected by the commissions in the case, in the form of declarations.

A crowded congress (about 1000 participants) in the large building of the communication club was opened with a big speech by the People's Commissar of Health T. Kantorovich, who dwelt in detail on the tasks of healthcare in the reconstruction period, noting the importance that the reorganization of the personnel training system, the creation of medical and sanitary workshops in production and the organization of anti-cancer control on all fronts is now acquiring. The problem of a single dispensary is a class problem and should be linked to the structure of the leading branches of our economy. It is necessary to study the social pathology and prevalence of cancer, especially among industrial workers and collective farmers, and to develop health prevention for those types of cancer whose pathogenesis has been studied, such as, for example, occupational cancer. Wherever possible, oncological institutes or dispensaries should be established with accurate patient records and well-established diagnostics and therapy.

The centenary of Mikhail Faraday's discovery of the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction, which turned 2/X 31, obliges us to remember with a sense of gratitude the author of this colossal discovery.

A. A. Vishnevsky and V. S. Zimnitsky. To the problem of the integrity of the animal organism. Notes on the correlation of the endocrine glands. With a preface by K. In Volkova (Yadrin), p. 80, Tatisdat, Kazan, 1931 - Price 1 p. 10 K.
The appearance of this brochure is quite timely. In the preface, K. V. Volkov emphasizes the authors' desire to find out the role of internal secretion in the general system of interrelations, interactions with other systems and organs of the human body, and they emphasize the fundamental recognition of the primacy of the social moment in understanding the pathogenesis of all human diseases. K. V. Volkov hopes that the authors will take further steps towards the practical application of this imperative principle' in the study of specific topics of their future works. The brochure has another great advantage: strict scientific objectivity and cultural criticism of other people's views. Apparently, the authors are inspired by a sincere desire to find out the truth, and not to show that only they are right, and everyone else does not understand anything. Then, however, they also switch to the feuilleton language: "if these glands were decomposed in pairs on a pathologic-anatomical plate", "shoots at the hormone"-such "jokes" could be avoided in a scientific work, especially since they concern precisely those objections of the authors in which they are weakest.

The German psychiatrist Robert Sommer, known for his socio-political and socio-hygienic writings (Sommer To ober t. lieber das Anftroteii bewegter Körper im menschlichen Blutserum nach Elektrolyse. Z. Neurol. Bd. 131. H73. 1930) carried out experiments with blood electrolysis, while he found that if during blood electrolysis the median fluid (Zwischenflüs- sigkeit) is argentum nitricum (Ag N03), then under the action of a galvanic current from 0.5 to 2m for 1/2 - 2 hours, very mobile small black corpuscles appeared in large quantities in the anode liquid, clearly distinguishable from stationary blood beads.
