The infectious nature of erysipelas has been known since 1882. The assumption about the specificity of the streptococcus detected by Feleisen was not subsequently confirmed, and the nonspecificity of the purulent infection causing the erysipelas was proved.
For a comparative assessment of the criteria for the differential diagnosis of chronic nephritis and nephrosclerosis, we studied the case histories of 111 patients, including 60 patients with hypertensive chronic nephritis, 40 with benign nephrosclerosis and 11 with malignant arteriolosclerosis of the kidneys.
Penetrating radiation (gamma and X-rays) is used to treat many diseases. They are also widely used in neurological clinics. However, radiation therapy is often hampered by side effects of the so-called general radiation reaction.
From a therapeutic clinic (head - prof. L.M. Rakhlin) Kazan Institute for Advanced Medical Studies named after V.I. V. I. Lenin The most common treatment for chronic leukemia is still radiation therapy. Along with X-ray therapy, in recent years, experience has been accumulated in the use of the radioactive isotope of phosphorus - P32 in leukemia. The use of radioactive phosphorus does not require complex equipment and is available from this side.
Until now, the clinic does not have methods for quantitative determination of bone marrow production of erythrocytes per unit of time in humans. Without such methods, many questions of the pathogenesis of some anemias remain unclear.
The question of the possibility of blood transfusion in acute hepatitis remains controversial, not completely resolved. Many authors, and, in particular, PM Alperin, believe that blood transfusions in this disease are undesirable, as they can cause increased hemolysis and exacerbation of the inflammatory-allergic process. But the observations of some authors suggest otherwise. A. L. Myasnikov notes that transfusion of small portions of blood in acute hepatitis was well tolerated by patients.
According to the literature, since the time of S.P. Botkin, pregnant women have a more severe course of infectious hepatitis. E. M. Tareev believes that the most severe and fatal cases of hepatitis during epidemic outbreaks occurred mainly among pregnant women.
The main three aspects of the action of the enzyme hyaluronidase (H) have determined its popularity in clinical medicine. These are 1) the ability to reduce the viscosity of tissue gels, 2) increase tissue permeability, 3) mucinolysis.
In the medical literature in recent years, much attention has been paid to diseases that previously rarely or were not described at all within the central zone of the Soviet Union. These include listerllosis, Q fever and others. These diseases are rarely diagnosed, since practitioners are not sufficiently familiar with the clinic of these infections and the methods of their diagnosis.
The dynamics of pathomorphological changes in internal organs caused by the migration of ascariasis larvae is one of the most interesting and poorly studied issues of pathology.
The literature contains numerous data on interoceptive influences from some internal organs to others and on the significance of these reflexes in the development of pathological processes (Uden, 1817; Teregulov, 1940; Bykov, 1944; Poltyrev, 1955; and many others). In the clinical literature, it is described that in diseases of the gallbladder (cholecystitis, gallstone disease), disorders of the cardiovascular system are observed (Botkin, 1887; Krinsky, 1952; Ganelina, 1955, etc.). A number of data on this issue is also available in the materials of the XIV All-Union Congress of Physicians.
The study of protein fractions in patients with rheumatism is of certain importance for understanding the pathogenesis of rheumatism, is a valuable test for determining the reactivity of the organism, the degree of disease activity.
Rickets is still common in young children; individual cases of its manifestation can be observed in the subsequent years of a child's life. It is known that rickets suffered in early childhood under unfavorable conditions (inappropriate nutrition, lack of walking, a number of infectious diseases) often recurs. According to the observations of E. S. Moshkevich, even in preschool children, residual rickets and individual cases of an unfinished rickets process can occur in the phase of convalescence and peak.
One of the formidable complications of mitral stenosis is acute pulmonary edema. It should be noted that until now there is no consensus on the pathogenesis of this edema and methods of dealing with it. Controversial and insufficiently resolved should be considered the question of the use of oxygen inhalations with it.
Muscular activity and the circulatory system are closely interconnected. This is determined not only by the peculiarities of the blood supply to the muscles, but also by the reflex connection between the skeletal muscles and the nerve centers that regulate blood circulation (V.I. Medvedev, M.R.Mogendovich, V.I.Beltyukov, T.P. Romanova, G.E. Skachedub, V.D. Glebovsky, and others).
For the revitalization of newborns born in asphyxia, intra-arterial administration of calcium chloride has been proposed in recent years (L.S. Persianinov, 1953; FN Poluschev, 1954; E.K. Ovchinnikova, 1956).
Patient A.N., born in 1926, was admitted to the traumatology department of the Kazan Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics on May 12, 1956 about a closed comminuted fracture of the right femur on the border of the upper and middle third, with a displaced fragment, a closed fracture of the left femur in middle third, with displacement of fragments, a closed intra-articular comminuted fracture of the proximal epimetaphysis of the left tibia and the upper third of the left fibula, also with displacement of the fragment.
Patient L., 18 years old, delivered on 21 / VIII 1957 at 22 hours 50 minutes in a severe shock condition due to puncture wounds of the chest, 40 minutes after being wounded with a knife. The skin is pale, cold clammy sweat, shallow breathing, intermittent. The pulse on the radial artery is barely perceptible. Blood pressure 75/60 mm. In the area of the right scapula, there are two puncture wounds 1XL5 cm in size that do not penetrate the chest cavity, the third wound is located on the left along the nipple line 2 cm below the nipple, 2.5 X 1 cm in size. Dark blood is released from the wound.
The population of the mountains. Zelenodolsk is supplied with drinking water from boreholes. The geological structure of the region is dominated by Permian deposits. Rocks of the Quaternary system overlap eroded deposits of the Kazan Stage and Sakmar-Artinskian formations. The rocks of the Tatar stage and the upper parts of the Conchiferian substage were eroded during the erosion of the Volga river valley.
Reviews foreign magazines
"The Journal of Czech Doctors" is the oldest organ of the medical periodicals of friendly Czechoslovakia. In 1957 it celebrated 96 years of existence. Prominent medical workers not only from Czechoslovakia, but also from foreign countries published their works on its pages. This noble tradition continues to this day. In particular, on the pages of the journal we find articles specially written for it and translated by our Soviet authors.
From March 20 to March 22, 1958, a scientific session of the Department of Clinical Medicine of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR and the All-Union Committee for the Study of Rheumatism and Joint Diseases was held in Moscow. As you know, the etiology and pathogenesis of rheumatism are being actively developed both in the USSR and abroad. The dominant theory of rheumatism is infectious-allergic. But this theory raises a number of fundamental objections.
