In 1894 prof. Kozhevnikov published the 4th case of a new type of epilepsy, characterized by the fact that the period between seizures is not free, but filled with constant twitching in one half of the body, as if an ordinary epileptic seizure continues constantly, but without loss of consciousness. In two of his cases, before seizures appeared, long before them convulsive twitching was found in the limbs of one side, and these convulsions began from the upper extremities, in which contractures and muscle atrophy were found. These convulsive twitchings reached the degree of an epileptic seizure with complete loss of consciousness. The same cases were described by Dr. Orlovsky in 1895 and Herman in 1896 ("Medical Review").

In the clinics of nervous diseases of the University of St. Volodymyr, we had to meet only 3 cases of hemiathetosis during 3 years; of them, two outpatient, one stationary could be studied graphically, and the curves obtained in this way represent some features that characterize the way of muscle contraction in this case of involuntary movements.

Studying the central path of the upper branch n. facialis in dogs, we adhered to the anatomical and physiological method, which combines the intravital observation of changes in the function of a known organ with postmortem examination of anatomical changes that entailed this defect in the function.

The question of muscle atrophies is one of the most interesting questions of the nervous clinic, and although we already had to dwell on it several times during our course, I take pleasure in taking advantage of the opportunity presented to me today to touch on it again. I wish that I am glad that the analysis of the patient that you see here will allow me to significantly replenish your information.

Giving feedback on the first edition of the author's manual, which contains legislation on the mentally ill, I noted its dignity, which favorably distinguishes this work from other similar manuals. Then I especially emphasized the suitability of the first part of the author's manual for both doctors and lawyers. The second edition of forensic psychopathology, containing clinical psychiatry, does not differ in these features.

All civilized countries of the world in the question of the spirit of epileptics stopped at the device of agricultural colonies. Such institutions for epileptics exist already in all countries of the educated world: in America, England, France, Germany and others; they are not only in Russia in Russia. The author vividly describes the difficult situation of epileptics in the family environment, points to their great danger to society and clarifies the urgent need to seriously address the issue of the charity of these unfortunate patients.

The author of the article is already known as a defender of the theory of the important meaning of inheritance during progress. paralysis. In more early works, he touches on this theory in detail, but now he gives further proof of it. By inheritance, he actually understands 6 factors: mental and nervous diseases, extraordinary (auf-fallend) character, paralysis (apoplexy), suicide and drunkenness. Out of 100 cases prog. paralysis, inheritance was undoubted or preceded by a huge likelihood in 43 paralytics, that is, in 43%. There are interesting cases where it was possible to see signs of inheritance in several family members at the same time.

The author uses data on 575 men. paralytics for the period 1858-1899 and 108 women. during the period 1860-1899, died in hospital. They are located on 8 five-year groups, distinguishing 3 main forms of paralysis: manic (agitated), typical and dementia. The article is divided into 2 parts - paralysis of men and paralysis of women.

The crimes committed under the influence of jealousy are not a rare phenomenon, and the very feeling of jealousy is older than humanity, for it is also manifested in the animal kingdom. However, the number of works devoted to a thorough study of this feeling known to everyone does not correspond to a life's demand.

At the present time, there is a clearly expressed tendency to examine the activity of the nerves subject to other laws than those that govern the activity of the rest of the body tissues. Since the time of the study of Bernstein, Vvedensky and Bovdich, most of the physiologists speak out for the fatigue of the nerves.
