In the spring of 1939, XXX years of scientific, medical and social activity of one of the prominent professors of the Kazan State Medical Institute and the Institute for Advanced Training of Physicians were celebrated. V. I. Lenina—N. In Sokolova

Nikolai Vladimirovich Sokolov was born in 1882. In 1908, he graduated with “distinction” from the medical faculty of Kazan University. After working for 6 months as a zemstvo doctor (in the Birsk district of the former Ufa province), N.V. became a resident, first at the propaedeutic and then at the faculty surgical clinic, headed by Prof. N.A. Gerken. During his residency, N.K. published his first scientific work, “On the anatomy of the parathyroid glands,” and passed his doctoral exams.

The term Hallux valgus (H. v.) refers to abduction contracture of the first toe.

A relatively small area of the human body occupied by deformation has long attracted the attention of surgeons due to its significant prevalence, unclear etiology and unsatisfactory treatment results. Shklovsky in his dissertation points to 219 works by Russian and foreign authors on this issue. Friedland considers the disease “a typical vestimental disfigurement.”

Blood transfusion is widely used for various types of bleeding, as well as hemorrhagic diathesis and hemophilia, as one of the forms of this diathesis. Most authors are unanimous in their view that one of the main causes of hemophilia is congenital decreased blood clotting, which depends on a lack of thrombin and thrombokinase. Sali believes that in hemophiliacs, the vascular endothelium and blood cells suffer from functional insufficiency in the sense of producing substances necessary for blood clotting. Others believe that the cause of hemophilia is the thinness and fragility of the vascular wall, making it brittle and unable to contract. Oppel suggests that hemophiliacs suffer from congenital hypofunction of the liver in terms of the production of proserosine, the participation of which is necessary for blood clotting.

After Tietzemann's first report in 1843 about arterial embolism. mesent. super. Loop collected 500 cases of intestinal infarction resulting from mesenteric embolism. These statistics are the largest published before 1921. Further work and reports on this disease were compiled and described by Meyer, who also reported 92 cases of obstruction of the mesenteric vessels. Recently, several cases have also been described by domestic authors (Geisler, Pikin, Kuskov, Fedorovich, Britnev, Okun, Solovov).

The interest of clinicians in this disease increased significantly, especially after Oppolzer correctly diagnosed intestinal infarction.

Most obstetricians are of the belief that the expectant method of releasing the placenta is the safest for the mother. The method is so ingrained in the practice of all obstetric medical institutions that in my 20 years of medical practice, visiting many maternity wards of clinics and hospitals, I have never seen any other method of releasing the placenta during normal childbirth.

In our Union, sterilization of women is limited to strict medical indications and is performed in very rare cases. It is indicated where future pregnancy and childbirth are dangerous to the health or life of the woman. With this formulation of the question of sterilization, its importance especially increases and the need for gentle and reliable methods of sterilization is revealed. Among these methods, the most effective are surgical sterilization methods.

There are a number of ways to determine the group identity of blood stains. Some of them detect agglutinin spots, while others detect agglutinogens. Since agglutinins are less stable and can easily be destroyed in a blood stain, methods based on their identification do not always make it possible to determine group affiliation; The most accurate and most common method is to determine the presence of agglutinogens in a blood spot by adsorption of agglutinins from standard serum.

Quite a large literature is devoted to the issue of intestinal obstruction. Many aspects of this serious disease, which gives from 25 to 70% mortality, have been clarified (Sholkov, Spasokukotsky, Shapiro, Melnikov, Perelmon, Vik, Vidgof). A number of clinical and experimental studies have established that with intestinal obstruction, a sharp disturbance of metabolism (water-salt, gas) occurs, vascular disorders, intoxication, and shock occur. A number of theories have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis and cause of death in intestinal obstruction.

Questions about the routes of penetration of the tuberculosis virus and the mechanism of occurrence of a tuberculosis focus in the bone are still not sufficiently clarified, and attempts to reproduce experimental osteoarticular tuberculosis have so far been little successful.

Blood transfusion, as a method of treatment for various diseases, is becoming available to an increasing number of surgeons. The method has become available for use in many peripheral medical institutions of our Union. Blood transfusions are especially often used in cases of acute blood loss. The question of reinfusion is of great interest because with reinfusion the question of donation is removed, which has not yet been definitely resolved everywhere.

Determining the functional resistance of capillaries is of great clinical interest.

One of the methods for determining the resistance of capillaries is the Stefan method, which is based on the appearance of pinpoint hemorrhages on the upper limb, tightened with the cuff of the Riva-Rocci apparatus at a pressure of 70 mm of mercury.

The case of lymphosarcomatosis of the retroperitoneal lymph glands and stomach that we describe is not only clinically interesting, but also from the point of view of the pathological changes in the nerve apparatus of the solar plexus, which has grown into the tumor.

Foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract are not often described in the literature. Very rare are stones formed in the stomach from food substances.

In 1876, the English surgeon Paget first described peculiar changes in the bone skeleton. This disease, named after the author, was considered especially rare. Currently, in the literature there are already over 600 cases of Paget disease a (b.P.)

From December 25 to December 31, 1938, the XXIV All-Union Congress of Surgeons took place in Kharkov. 1381 people took part in the work of the congress - representatives of all fraternal republics of the Soviet Union. The congress devoted a significant part of its time to discussing issues of great defense importance.

At a meeting of the Kazan State Council. Medical Institute on November 19, 1938, the defense of dissertations for the degree of Candidate of Medical Sciences took place.

The dissertation of private associate professor A.P. Paskhalov on the topic: “On syphilitic superinfection and reinfection” was completed at the Department of Skin and Venereal Diseases of the Astrakhan Medical Institute (director Prof. I.N. Perevodchikov).

From 25.XII. 1938 to 1.1.39 in the city. The XXIV All-Union Congress of Surgeons took place in Kharkov. The program issues of the congress included reports on defense topics, of which reports on the treatment of infected wounds, the treatment of burns and frostbite aroused great interest and lively debate.

In February 1939, by order of the Deputy. People's Commissar of Health of the USSR prof. Grashchenkova N.I., a special Committee to combat influenza was formed at the Scientific Medical Council of the People's Commissariat of Health of the USSR.
