Despite the undoubtedly tremendous advances in the surgical treatment of pulmonary suppuration, there are still many problems, the correct solution of which will lead to better results.

The study of external respiration went far beyond the scope of pulmonology.

Determination of the functional state of the external respiration system is becoming more and more important not only in various patients, but also in healthy people when the gas composition of the ambient air, atmospheric pressure, temperature, etc. changes.

The prognosis for patients with chronic nonspecific lung diseases is relatively favorable. Such patients live long and remain able to work for many years. A serious complication that sharply worsens the prognosis is the development of pulmonary heart disease in these patients with right heart failure.

ECG changes in pulmonary heart disease are diverse. They have a certain diagnostic value and make it possible to recognize the development of cardiac pathology in pulmonary patients at different stages of the development of cor pulmonale.

Treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculomas is one of the urgent problems of modern phthisiology. In phthisiology, tuberculoma is an X-ray concept (K.V. Pomeltsov).

When clarifying the frequency and characteristics of the clinical and radiological picture of chronic fibrous-cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with siderosilicosis, we came across an interesting fact - the fibrous-cavernous form of the process is very rarely observed in siderosilicotuberculosis.

The introduction of bronchography into clinical practice prompted the study of the motility of the tracheobronchial tree.

Among the therapeutic measures for chronic nonspecific lung diseases, exercise therapy often falls out of sight of the doctor. This underestimation of physiotherapy exercises as a method of treatment for impaired lung function is largely due to the lack of generally accepted methods, unclear criteria and control system.

Rational oxygen treatment of patients with chronic lung diseases is the most difficult, largely unresolved section of therapy. On the one hand, it has been proven that in chronic lung diseases, as well as in acute ones, inhalations of O2 are highly effective (N.A. Kurshakov, N.N. Savitsky, P.E. Lukomsky, A.G. Dembo, etc. ).

The deformity of the spine and chest, observed in scoliosis, causes displacement of the mediastinal organs. These changes are accompanied by impaired blood circulation. KI Molchanova (1959) found that with scoliosis there are dysfunctions of the cardiopulmonary apparatus, which are more pronounced with scoliosis of the III-IV degree than with a slight curvature of the spine.

We studied the characteristics of pneumonia in patients with severe traumatic brain injury in order to clarify the issues of prevention, early recognition and treatment of this disease.

The study involved 27 patients aged 16 to 65 years. There were 10 people with croupous pneumonia, 17 people with bronchopneumonia. There were 4 and 8 women, respectively, and bi 9. The inflammatory process was confirmed by fluoroscopy data.

In the literature, this issue is not covered enough, there is no consensus about changes in blood flow velocity and ECG data in the postoperative period. We examined 75 people before the operation and 10-15 days after it, of whom 27 were operated on for lung cancer and 48 - in connection with lung suppuration. Pulmonectomy was performed in 29 patients and lobectomy in 46 patients.

In the complex treatment of patients with cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis, resection has taken a prominent place. It began to be performed in regional and district dispensaries.

At present, both in domestic and foreign literature, there are different opinions on the issue of partial lung resections in cancer.

Pulmonary hemorrhage is one of the most frequent complications of such surgical suffering of the lungs as suppuration, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, cancer, and foreign bodies. Bleeding from the lung can be of varying degrees, ranging from mild to life-threatening.

The question of the connection between the tonsils and internal organs has long attracted the attention of clinicians. Both in the experiment and in the clinic, the neuroreflex connection between the tonsils and the heart was clearly proved.

Shifts in the functional state of the liver in various toxic-infectious-allergic diseases during their treatment with steroid hormones are of great practical interest. So, the normalization of the protein formula in rheumatism under the influence of ACTH is noted by G.V. Kulago (1961), A. L. Mikhnev et al. (1956), in patients with bronchial asthma - P. Ya-Davidovich (1958).

Works on the study of protein fractions of blood serum in patients with gastric cancer and peptic ulcer in connection with the operation and preoperative preparation are few and contradictory.

The difficulty in diagnosing breast cancer at an early stage prompts clinicians to use a whole range of additional methods for examining the mammary gland: puncture biopsy, ultrasound, radioisotope method, etc. A definite place among them is occupied by non-contrast radiography.

In recent years, new medications have been proposed for inducing and stimulating uterine contractile activity. Among them, drugs with anticholinesterase properties can be distinguished, which have proved to be quite effective in obstetric practice (3. A. Drozdova, M. Ya. Mikhelson, A. V. Savshinskaya, L. V. Chugunova, etc.).

For the period from 1936 to the first half of 1964 (28.5 years), 281 women with functional urinary incontinence (0.38% of the total number of patients) were treated in the clinic.

From 1946 to 1963, 2069 women were treated for fibroids in our clinic, 1440 of them were operated on, and enucleation was performed in 171 (11.1%). Laparotomies were performed in 135 and in 36 women fibromatous nodes, mainly born, were removed by the vaginal route with and without anterior hysterotomy (22).

V. P. Ryumin (1958), A. L. Kreimer (1959, 1961, 1963), M. I. Mitereva (1961), S. I. Vilenchik (1953), M. R. Mogendovich (1963), A K. Serdyukova (1963) under experimental and clinical conditions revealed anti-inflammatory, desensitizing and analgesic effects of low sound frequency vibration.

As you know, intraepithelial cancer (cancer in situ) is a kind of process in stratified squamous epithelium, where morphologically there are manifestations of proliferation and thickening of cells, usually with a violation of typical layering, noticeable anaplasia of cells, hyperchromicity of their nuclei and an increase in the number of mitoses.

Eosinophilic infiltrates, according to most authors, should be considered as a polyetiological syndrome with allergic pathogenesis.

"Dry syndrome", described in 1925 by Guzhero and in more detail in 1933 by Sjögren, consists in insufficiency of the function of the lacrimal glands and the development of keratoconjunctivitis and xerophthalmia, damage to the salivary glands, leading to stomatitis, dental caries, chronic polyarthritis with joint damage, more often - hands and feet.

Pigmented tumors are most often localized in the skin and eye. In the pia mater, primary melanoma is found extremely rarely. Erbslø (1956) collected in the world literature about 100 observations of primary diffuse melanomas of the pia mater.

Thanks to the success of epidemiological surveillance and the widespread introduction of sanitary and preventive measures at food industry enterprises, botulism in our country has become a fairly rare disease.

Most often, pachicarpin poisoning occurs when taking large doses of it in order to terminate pregnancy.

In 1965, it was 90 years since the birth and 30 years since the death of an excellent doctor, talented teacher, original scientist, sensitive, responsive person - Professor Fedor Yakovlevich Kitaev.

1966 marks the 95th anniversary of the birth of one of the most prominent surgeons in our country - KV Volkov. He was born on 24 / ІІ 1871 in the family of a lamp-maker of the Kazan theater. In 1893 he graduated from the natural sciences department of the physics and mathematics faculty of Kazan, and in 1897 - from the medical faculty of Moscow University.

The present time is characterized by the intensive introduction into many clinical disciplines of various immunological research methods for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.

In connection with the development of thoracic surgery, the needs of modern anesthesiology, and the change in the clinic of many pulmonary diseases, the requirements for the study of the physiology of respiration have increased.

In the Kazan Medical Journal No. 1 for 1964, we published a message concerning the use of a new domestic anticholinergic drug Arpenal in bronchial asthma. This post is dedicated to the quaternary analogue of Arpenal - Mesfenal.
