Muscular atrophies in craniocerebral suffering
Abstract
On February 5th of this year, a patient came to our outpatient clinic with a complaint of severe headaches; these pains, which had lasted for about 2 months, at first appeared in him exclusively at night, and then did not stop during the day, although during the night they always took on a more cruel character. In the last time, an increase in headache was very often accompanied by vomiting and a feeling of goose bumps in the right extremities, in which the patient also began to suppress a clear decrease in strength, especially in the evening (during the day he was still in a state of some kind of work).



About the influence of some gases on the absorption of methylene blue by the nerves and about the structure of nerve plexus
Abstract
Who of the educated doctors and naturalists today does not know how abundant in the results and fruitful in the conclusions of the observations made in the course of these ten years with methylene blue. Injecting this wonderful reagent into the circulatory or lymphatic system of living, or just dead animals, or irrigating methylene blue tissue, which has not yet lost its vital properties, Ehrlich (1), Arnstein (2), Smirnov (3), Dogel (4) , M.D. Lavdovskiy (5), Retzius (6) and other authors found that methylene blue should be recognized as the best, one might say, the most sensitive reagent for detecting nerves and nerve plexus in various organs and tissues, not excluding the most nervous tissues such as the spinal cord and brain with their nodes and roots.



To the technique of painting Nissl`evsky bodies
Abstract
In view of the growing interest presented by Nissl's bodies for researchers studying the physiological and pathological structure of nerve cells, I consider it useful to publish the coloring method I have developed. In addition to the simplicity of the technique and the demonstrativeness of the preparations obtained, the proposed method has the advantage of great constancy: to this I can add that the studies of the fresh nervous cells (my studies have not yet been published) reveal the complete identity of the pictures obtained in the volume and in other cases.



To the morphology of the terminal nervous apparatus in the muscles of voluntary movement
Abstract
According to the views prevailing at the present time, the muscles of voluntary movement do not have independent sensitive devices, and all the manifestations of muscle sensitivity, whether this latter is expressed in the form of pain sensitivity, or in the form of muscular feeling, are explained by the presence of tendon sensory nerve endings, internum , - in a word, in connective tissue and connective tissue formations, exposed to mechanical impact from the contracting muscles.



To the question of excitability of the cortex and epileptic seizures in lower animals
Abstract
By irritating the cortex of the cerebral hemispheres, it is possible to cause seizures of epileptic seizures in many animals. Their seizure can consist of a prodromal period, clonic and tonic stages, and a subsequent coma. This typical seizure is extremely easy to get in a monkey. Without big difficulties, it can be reproduced in a dog, rabbit, cat, guinea pig, horse, donkey, rat, calf, goat and even a sheep. Attempts to induce convulsions in birds, irritating their large hemisphere, remained fruitless. Similarly, it was not possible to achieve epileptic seizures in fish, reptiles and amphibians.



Physiological and psychological basis of aesthetics
Abstract
This essay will be devoted to the presentation of the aesthetic principles of painting, plastics and architecture. All these arts converge with each other mainly in the fact that they are the essence of visual art, that is, their works are perceived by the organ of vision and their aesthetic effects are given together with visual impressions. In the first issue, dedicated to the aesthetic principles of music, the general principles of grace and beauty were established and explained. We consider it not superfluous to formulate them again in a condensed form.



Changes in the craniocerebral circulation under the influence of calcium bromide
Abstract
At the present time, when the issue of cerebral circulation has taken on such vast dimensions, and its importance has become increasingly clear, an attempt to study the influence of various nervous (if I may put it this way) means on the circulation of blood in the brain is quite understandable.



On the results of research on the excitability of the posterior frontal lobe
Abstract
According to Ferrier, the area of the anterior frontal lobe (P. praefrontalis), located in front of the line, mentally drawn perpendicular to the front end of s. praecentralis, does not give any motor phenomena in case of irritation, which is confirmed by Horsley and Beefor, as well as other authors. Between this area and the anterior central furrow together with the mental continuation of it to s. longitudinalis is the area, irritation of which causes, according to Ferrier, open eyes, dilated pupils and movement of the eyes and head in the opposite direction. Horsley and Beefor, with the help of weak minimal irritations, divided this area into three separate centers, from which the upper, located closer to the inner cleft of the brain, moves the head in the opposite direction, the middle moves the head and eyes to the opposite side and the lower one turns only the eyes in the opposite direction. It should be borne in mind that these centers altogether occupy an area much larger than one Ferrier center.

Prof. E. Kraepelin. Psychiatry. Textbook for students and doctors. Per. from the 5th German edition. 2 part. St. Petersburg. 1898. Price 5 rubles
Abstract
In the preface to the fifth (last) German edition of his manual, the author points out that in this edition his textbook has undergone significant and substantial changes, representing the last breakthrough transition from a symptomatological way of presenting a clinical study. In view of this, the author, when presenting, pays the main attention to the causes, course and outcome of mental disorders, pushing back into the background the meaning of external signs of mental illness. Since the Russian translation is delivered from the last German edition, it is likely to carry all the features of this edition, indicated by the author in the preface.



Prof. W. v. Bechterew. The conduction pathways in the brain and spinal cord. —Second, completely revised and greatly expanded edition. German by Richard Weinberg. Leipzig, 1899
Abstract
Not even two years have passed since the leadership of prof. V. M. Bekhterev appears already in the second edition in the German language. This fact seems to be very significant for Russian science and at the same time clearly testifies to the interest that neurology excites to itself at the present time. The appearance in such a short time of translation of the book by prof. Bekhterev's second edition is due to the undoubtedly large merits of his original work, which we have already had a chance to talk about. Now we can safely say that the leadership of prof. Ankylosing spondylitis is destined to be a reference book for every educated doctor. As far as we know, not a single translated manual of a Russian author abroad has ever used such success.

A. I. Yushchenko. On the question of bed keeping mentally ill. (Russian. Medical Bulletin)
Abstract
From the analysis of the work on bed rest, the author concluded that the authors who worked on this issue, not only do not pass to the same conclusion, but sometimes directly contradict each other, and tries to explain such a discrepancy by the fact that bed keeping by different authors is used far from unequal other conditions, as well as for various kinds of patients.

Письмо в редакцию
Letter to the editor from Dr. Klyachkin
Abstract
In my work "Further research in the area of the central endings of the X-th pair of cranial nerves", Dr. I do not agree with the author's conclusions about the central endings of the vagus nerve; this disagreement caused a protest on the part of the author, in the form of a letter to the editorial office of the "Neurological Bulletin", in which he insists on the correctness of his views; at the same time, it does not concern all the grounds that I have brought against his imprisonment; I will only touch on the area of my work, which Dr. Klyachkin stops at, otherwise I would have to repeat everything in my article.
