The author concludes that in mild forms of schizophrenia there are no strictly limited defective states, but only defect-symptoms along with process-symptoms.

Finkelstein cites two typical cases of schizophrenia, of which one is regarded as "developmental schizophrenia" and the other as procedural schizophrenia ("process-psychosis").

Friedman distinguishes from schizophrenia on a schizoid background (premorbid personality, schizoid) schizophrenia that develops in persons with a heteronormal schizophrenic premorbid character.

The author, based on various dislocations of the foot that passed through the Leningrad Trauma Institute, analyzes all types of these dislocations.

Schneider divides all pathopsychological material into "four groups".

Disruptions in the supply of plaster as well as its insufficient quality have forced a number of surgeons to look for new materials to replace it. A. suggests using alabaster for fixed bandages to replace plaster.

On the basis of 136 cases of fractures of the ankle bones which passed through the Leningrad Traumatology Institute, the authors analyze all types occurring in this joint (ankle fractures-71 cases; transkle fractures-16 cases; Dupuytren fractures-31 cases and Desto fractures-18 cases).

Popov N.I. and Badiul P.A.-On the patency of the blood-brain barrier in epid. encephalitis and multiple sclerosis. Observation of 9 cases of E. E. and 5 cases of multiple sclerosis. In all 9 cases of post-encephalitic parkinsonism, regardless of the age of the case and severity of the clinical picture, barrier permeability was negligible.

I. I. Rusetsky and N. I. Popov. Teaching about the role of the autonomic nervous system in sciatica. The following data were obtained in the study of 25 patients. At iliac sacral sciatica on the diseased leg, as the disease progresses, the skin t° changes from hypothermia to hyperthermia (in comparison with a healthy limb). Long-lasting hypothermia has been observed in cases of truncular sciatica.

Meeting on November 21, Obstetric and Gynecological Section together with with the Pathology and Physiology Department of the Prof. Bohl Institute.

November 6 last year marked the 5th anniversary of the death of Zinovy Petrovich Solovyov.

Calmette was gone; the man whose name had been associated with the hopes of solving the tuberculosis problem for the past 10 years was gone - all of a sudden, all of a sudden. It was hard to imagine that a man who dared to engage the enemy, who on his shield counted more than a hundred million human lives and dozens of brave scientists among them, was already at an age when one is more willing to look back on the road traveled than on the remaining one.

The All-Ukrainian Bacteriological Institute is developing with successful results the question of protective vaccinations against typhus. A number of experiments performed on guinea pigs showed that guinea pig infected with typhus passerine virus and having suffered the disease is immune to subsequent infection with the blood of a typhus-typhoid patient. On the other hand, guinea pig infected with the blood of a typhoid patient and having survived the disease appears immune to infection with the guinea pig passage virus.

In spite of the fact that exactly one hundred years have passed since Cruveilhier described with inimitable for those times clarity the clinical picture and anatomical substrate of peptic ulcer, the interest to this mysterious disease not only has not weakened, but has considerably revived in recent years. Therapists and surgeons, pathophysiologists and radiologists are equally interested in the problem of peptic ulcer and compete in solving two main, closely related problems - the question of pathogenesis and the question of rational treatment of peptic ulcers.

To put the question of gastric and duodenal ulcer from the surgical point of view means to decide more or less definitely whether a gastric and duodenal ulcer at the present stage of our knowledge of this painful form can be treated surgically and what are the indications for surgical treatment; it means to decide the choice of this or that method of surgical treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers, proceeding in this question based on past experience covered by modern scientific data.

Surgery for peptic ulcer in a significant percentage of cases does not give the expected clinical improvement and after a certain period of time the patients return to ask for help about the worsening of their state. 

Perforative gastric ulcer, which used to be a relative rarity 15-20 years ago, nowadays becomes more and more frequent in surgeon's work. To confirm this it is enough to point out that the number of cases of perforated peptic ulcer published in the Russian literature alone exceeds well over 1000, and almost every day this figure is increasing.

Analysis of the methods of treatment of hyperacid gastritis and peptic ulcers suggested so far shows that, for all the diversity and inconsistency of modern theories of ulcer etiology and pathogenesis, most methods still seek to reduce acidity and excessive secretion. This seeming contradiction between the homogeneity of therapeutic aspirations and the fundamental differences regarding etiology and pathogenesis is explained by the role that increased acidity and secretion play in the clinic of ulcers and gastritis.

Since the time of Voit, we know that for the balance of life, mineral salts, including table salt, are as necessary to the body as proteins, carbohydrates, fats and water. According to Magnus-Lev, the total amount of salt in an adult is 150.0 g., with a daily requirement of 6.0-8.0 g. The distribution of NaCl in various organs and tissues is uneven; most of it is contained in the blood and subcutaneous tissue. Salt fluctuations in organs and tissues normally occur within narrow limits.

Conservative treatment of peptic ulcer currently is still largely symptomatic and imperfect. It is hardly possible to solve the question of rational therapy until the necessary clarity in the question of ulcer pathogenesis is brought.

In spite of the fact that already in 1913 the first quite successful attempts were made to treat gastric ulcers with X-rays (Kodo) and to influence the secretion and acidity of gastric juice with the help of illumination (Brügel, 1916), the clinic has not yet shown sufficient interest in the use of X-rays in the treatment of ulcers and their complications. Some clinicians still believe that only malignant neoplasms are treated with X-rays, and only those that are rejected by surgeons.

If in questions of inflammatory changes in the stomach the decisive word belongs to the X-ray conclusion, if it corresponds to the modern ideas about this suffering, then the X-ray method of investigation plays no less important role for the diagnosis of ulcerous lesions of the stomach and 12 duodenum.

The complex problem of the operated stomach has recently attracted more and more attention of therapists, surgeons and radiologists. Systematic X-ray examination of the stomach, after surgery, gives us the opportunity to study its shape and function, allows us to judge the success of the operation, as well as to recognize timely postoperative complications and recurrence of diseases, requiring in some cases urgent secondary surgical intervention, and in other cases - prevention of unnecessary secondary surgery.

This book is a collection of papers from the Moscow City Neuropsychiatric Institute. The centerpiece of the collection is Brukhansky's article: "Toward a Theory of Schizophrenia," in which the author tries to substantiate his understanding of Bleuler-Krechmer schizophrenia as "developmental schizophrenia," in contrast to the heterogeneous organic processes, as an independent form of illness, with "bodily perceptible" symptomatology.

The author proves, based on a number of facts from his personal experience of using the biogenetic method in his neuropathological and psychiatric works, that the biogenetic method is a very valuable research method in the spirit of Marxist-Leninist methodology, and therefore its use in the neuropsychological sciences should be considered fruitful and should be cultivated here and in the future.

Berze concludes that the treatment of known cases of schizophrenia with insulin can be considered indicative. Berze finds the systematic treatment of schizophrenia by insulin shock suggested by Sackel, which consists in provoking by single large doses of insulin deep hypoglycemia, accompanied by very severe phenomena of shock, which are unsafe for the health of patients and, in the event, can lead to death, strictly contraindicated. 

Stengel berichtet, dass im Jahr 1932 bei einer Gesamtzahl der Aufnahmen in die Wiener Psychiatrische Klinik von 5930 (3264 Männer und 2696 Frauen) 18 Fälle von Zwangsneurose (0,3%) auftraten, davon 13 Frauen und 5 Männer.

The author compares morphologically the brains of the brothers Vladimir and Nikolai Bekhterev, with 120 morphological features used for comparison. 47.5% of the features were found to be similar in the brothers, which suggests familial similarity of the brain, homolateral in 32.5°/o and contralateral in 15% of the similar features.

The author gives a description of the course of the disease in two cases of frontal bone fracture with opening of the frontal sinus. In the first case, a subdural pneumocephalus developed immediately after injury, which resorbed within 17 days without intervention and gave no morbid phenomena. In the second case, it came to cortical pneumocephalus infection, which healed after surgical dissection and drainage.

The author sees the progress of neuropathology in the fact that in the clinic we are seeing more and more so-called atypical cases. New, more subtle and improved methods of examination make it possible to make a correct diagnosis where the disease is far from being defined as such, and the main symptoms characteristic of the disease are absent.

The author, proceeding from the therapeutic effect of large abdominal infusions in peritonitis with the prophylactic purpose of strengthening peritoneal resorption and the simplest and most expedient way of fluid delivery in all large peritomies (clean and unclean), injected from 1 to 3 liters of physiol solution of sodium salt into the abdominal cavity.

The authors reviewed 170 cases of peritonitis serotherapy with a fatal outcome in 18 cases (10.5%). To use serotherapy successfully, polyvalent serum of Escherichia coli, enterococci, and streptococci most commonly encountered in peritonitis should be prepared.

The author understands the functional method of treating bone fractures as early as possible in general and individual movements of the limbs in order to return the original function of the limb as early as possible.

The author observed a case of multiple angiofibromatosis. A tumor located in the membrana interossea of the radial and ulnar bones with partial involvement of the ulna was removed from the patient.

The author recommends intraperitoneal injection of polyvalent serum with simultaneous intravenous injection of grape sugar in purulent inflammation of the peritoneum, regardless of its cause.

The author describes 2 cases of chronic fistulas of the parotid gland. In both cases the author observed the development of stones.

The author has seen success in 48 cases after treating burns with a 1% solution of brilliant green.

The author suggests performing V-shaped pyloroplasty for pylorospasm in adults.

The author recommends dissecting the anterior wall of the 12 duodenal ulcer, resecting the crater of the ulcer and then performing atypical closure of the duodenal stump followed by peritonization of the stump with the pancreas and the apex of the omentum.

Cancer patients have lower blood pressure than healthy patients or those who have recovered. If therapy is successful, the blood pressure rises by an average of 15 mm Hg and remains elevated. If the process spreads further, the blood pressure remains low or still rises.

Description of 2 cases, one man with breast cancer and one woman with vulvar cancer.

Up to now about 70 cases of total gastric resection (T.R.G.) have been described. The operative mortality rate is 53% on the average. The author has lost out of 10 patients out of 7. Therefore, it is clear that further fate of people after T.R.G. is little known.

In all cases more or less protein was found, but always below 0.5%₀. The sediment in most cases was indistinguishable from the picture of acute nephritis.

Ha 8162 autopsies found pericarditis 286 times. The most frequent cause was heart disease and rheumatism (56 times). Tuberculosis as a cause of pericarditis ranks 4th, while septic diseases are on par with rheumatism (57 times).

In pernicious anemia, the average diameter of the red blood cells is much larger than normal. This increase goes in parallel with the disease, so that a decrease in diameter indicates an improvement in the disease.

The overall statistic is 702 sl. From 1913-1927, 587 cases of cervical cancer yielded a 22.3% absolute cure rate.

The author reports his observations on the use of hydrogen sulfide water inside for various stomach diseases: gastritis with low and high acidity, constipation, etc.

Inulinase, the enzyme that breaks down inulin, is known to be absent in the gastrointestinal canal; however, according to the authors' studies, inulin is well assimilated. As a result of these experiments it was found that 0.2% solution of hydrochloric acid for 4 hours almost completely hydrolyzes inulin, converting it into fructose, while gastric juice - only to 15-20%, and do not split preudenal at all.
