Hysteria, stigmatization and hysterical perjury
Abstract
Hysteria is the most widespread disease in our enlightened society. Who does not know her and where you will not meet her ... Previously, they thought that only a woman had her. The facts of life have completely refuted this opinion, and although it is less common in men than in women, men still often suffer from it. It used to be thought that hysteria is a disease of wealthy, pampered, spoiled people, but a study of soldiers showed that hysteria is not uncommon even between soldiers from the simple strata of the population ... It used to be thought that girls suffer from hysteria, less often ladies, and, perhaps, occasionally young men. But observations have shown that children are not spared from this disease. The reports of the French doctors Bezy, Berillon, Dastarak and many others have given us a very vivid picture of childhood hysteria, not much different from adult hysteria.
A case of marital dorsal tabes
Abstract
The case histories cited in this report refer to the husband and wife of N.), who have absolutely identical painful symptoms, which developed in both almost simultaneously.
Husband, 58 years old, a mechanic by profession, married for a long time, children are healthy. I drank vodka in moderation. At the end of 1903, i.e., 6 years ago, he contracted syphilis and, upon the onset of secondary phenomena, withstood two courses of mercury rubbing. The following year, he suffered from acute polyarthritis. The real disease came in 1906, i.e., 3 years after infection with syphilis.
Fundamentals of recognition and classification of mental illness
Abstract
The recognition of various diseases, pathological conditions of the human body, is based on several principles, the application of which in each individual case seems to be more or less significant in their totality or in one or another predominant grouping.
Applying the clinical principle in the broad sense of the word to elucidate a pathological state, we try first of all to determine those subjective and objective signs that characterize a given suffering, i.e., we try to determine its clinical symptom complex; often this is enough to recognize the disease and even to predict its further course, and sometimes this also establishes the etiology of the disease; but this is not always the case; on the contrary, in many cases, a single examination of the patient is insufficient, and in order to clarify the properties of the disease, to establish a firm recognition, more or less prolonged observation of the patient is necessary in order to study the development of the clinical symptom complex over time, its modification, in order to observe new symptoms, in order to studying the course of the disease.
Innervation of the vessels of the nasal mucosa
Abstract
The innervation of the vessels of the nasal mucosa in physiology has been little studied, therefore, in the literature on issues of innervation of the vascular regions, I found only indications of changes in the lumen of the vessels of the skin of the nose under various circumstances. The present pilot study aims to fill this gap. I made my experiments mainly on dogs and partly on cats; only 24 experiments were delivered. But before presenting the results of the experiments, I consider it necessary to make a brief indication of the innervation of the nasal mucosa in general.
Psychasilienia and obsessions
Abstract
The question of obsessive mental states is one of the most interesting questions of modern neuropathology and psychiatry. Closely adjoining, on the one hand, neuropathology and even going far into the realm of ordinary life, on the other hand, it is no less closely in contact with psychiatry, contributing to the understanding of various phenomena of psychopathology. A vast area of observations, in their content freely attributable to mental anomalies, however, cannot be attributed exclusively to psychiatry, apparently on the basis that the completely conscious attitude of the patient to his own sensations, understood by him as a morbid state, makes it difficult to speak of him as about the mentally ill in the ordinary sense of the word.
Prevention and hygiene of the nervous system of children, as a measure in the fight against their morbidity and mortality
Abstract
Heavy and terrible is our modernity, and especially our suffering homeland. And on this day of commemoration of the glorious champion for her, we will devote our conversation to what, among the many sufferings of the motherland, the soul of Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov grieved. The gloomy name of our commission on the mortality of children in our country already speaks clearly of the terrible disaster that radically undermines the health and future of Russia.
The mortality of our childhood and adolescence is rapidly progressing: the soil that gives birth to childhood is falling, it is weakening in the fight against diseases, it is being destroyed by the dark forces of the surrounding community, the ignorance of the environment, the profanity of school and family.
On the question of the action of muscarine and atropine on the heart
Abstract
Since Schmiedeberg's publication of his classic work on muscarine and its action on the heart (Das Muscarin. Das giftige Alcaloid des Fliegenpilzes-Agaricus Muscarius L. - V. Dr. O. Schmiedeberg u. Dr. Richard Corre. 1869), a view has been established on the mechanism of action of muscarine is such that muscarine causes cardiac arrest due to irritation of the vagus nerve in the heart; in this case, cardiac arrest can be eliminated, as the above-mentioned author has shown, by the introduction of atropine, which paralyzes the endings of n. vagi. Prof. Kravkov, in his 1907 textbook Fundamentals of Pharmacology, emphasizes in particular that “the action of muscarine is concentrated on the endings n. vagi". Schmiedeberg has not changed his view on the action of muscarine and atropine to this day, which is clear from his "Grundriss der Pharmakologie" - 1909, although I produced and published in 1894 the work "On the question of the innervation of the frog heart (Neurological Bulletin and Arch. f. Anatomie u. Physiologie) could give rise to a reservation regarding the vagus nerve.
III Congress of Russian Psychiatrists
Abstract
The Congress of Russian psychiatrists and neuropathologists held in St. Petersburg, the third in a row, lasted from December 27, 1909 to January 5, 1910. The interest of the program, the practical and scientific importance of the program issues outlined, and partly the relatively free time - the Christmas holidays - attracted almost twice as many members as the previous session in Kiev in 1905; A total of 275 people signed up. On the eve of the opening of the Sezd on December 26, an organizational office was opened in the Pirogov Museum, where the visiting participants of the Sezd received entrance tickets for a detailed program and could find out the order of the day. On the evening of the 26th, a friendly meeting took place, at which prof. Bekhterev and Chachott greeted the audience. The grand opening of the Sezd took place on December 27 in the Alexander Hall of the City Duma.

Zh. I. Gurevich. About neurofibrils and their changes under certain pathological conditions. SPB. 1908 Doctor of Medicine thesis
Abstract
The whole work, written in an easily understandable and literary language, can be divided into two parts. In the first, the author tries to clarify the confusing and contradictory doctrine of neurofibrils on the basis of more advanced methods for staining fibrils. Analyzing the existing methods for staining fibrils, the author gives preference to the Donaggio method, since it does not cause wrinkling of cells and, in addition (with some modification), both fibrils and Nissl bodies can be stained simultaneously.

Abstract
The thyroid gland, according to the author, has a strong influence on the lipolytic and oxidative functions of the body. Using for his experiments fresh and dried organs of various animals, the author, on the basis of the action of the extract of these organs on fats, comes to the conclusion that the thyroid gland produces an enzyme that decomposes fats; in quantity and strength of the lipolytic enzyme, it is second only to the pancreas and liver.

Ammonis), the author comes to the following conclusions: With bilateral partial and complete destruction of g. pyriformis and the adjoining part of cornus Ammonis, there is never a complete loss of olfactory function; Temporary disappearance; Conditioned odor reflexes to salivation; There is no data to attribute gg. pyriform.
S. M. Nikolsky. Dermographomftr is a device for determining the degree of dermography. - Proceedings and protocols of the Imper. Caucasian honey. Society. October - January 1909 - 1910
Abstract
The author recommends his own device for the production of dermography, which accurately captures a certain area of the skin (5 mm) when irritated, produces a precisely defined pressure and acts on this area of the skin for a precisely measured amount of time (0.5 seconds).
K. G. Pavelko. About children's nervousness in general, about the importance of studying it for teachers and science and about the preservation of health in the widespread sense, and about the value of dermography as a physical objective sign of children's nervousness. - Proceedings and protocols of the Imper. Caucasus. honey. Society. October - January 1909 - 1910
Abstract
In a rather extensive article, the author, clarifying for pedagogy and its representatives the importance of distinguishing nervous children, insists on the unconditional merit of dermography, as a sign that is quite accessible to every researcher and objectively indicating, according to the author’s observations, quite reliably on nervousness, i.e., on a predisposition to such called functional nervous diseases. In support of his position, the author refers to his personal observations, in which dermography has always justified the importance attributed to it.
V.P. Fedorov. About the paralysis of pregnant women Practical. Doctor 1910 No. 11, 12, 13
Abstract
Having described a case of central paralysis in one pregnant woman, the author, on the basis of this case and on the basis of the literature collected on this issue, comes to the conclusion that such diseases depend on autointoxication of the pregnant woman. In the case under consideration, there were no other causes of paralysis other than pregnancy, and the paralysis soon disappeared after childbirth. Numerous literary references to paralysis of a different nature in pregnant women fully confirm the author's idea. According to the author, pregnancy causes the body to produce some kind of gloxips, which, along with other specific diseases of pregnant women (uncontrollable vomiting, eclampsia, etc.), also cause diseases of the nervous system (various neuritis, paralysis, psychosis, etc.).

B. M. Dolgolal. To the casuistry of damage to the ulnar nerve after typhoid fever. Prakt. Doctor. 1910 No. 12
Abstract
To the limited literature on this disease, the author adds a description of a case of this disease that he observed in the Odessa Jewish Hospital. The etiology of this suffering, according to the author, should be reduced to the action of the toxins of typhoid infection on the nervous system. In organic and mineral poisons, like alcohol and lead, we have examples of their toxic effect on the peripheral nervous system. The same effect of poisons can be in infectious diseases, in particular, in typhoid. Depending on the strength of the intoxication, neuritis can be temporary, become permanent, and even lead to the loss of the ability of the nerve fiber to undergo regeneration.

S.V. Messing. About tabetic crises accompanied by fever. Russian Doctor. 1910 No. 6
Abstract
The author cites three case histories of patients with tabes dors., where attacks of pain were accompanied by a significant increase in body temperature. According to the author's observation, the course of t° could not be influenced by extraneous causes, and its increase is determined by the main process. As for the reasons for such an increase in t °, the author puts it in direct connection with pain (in the cases cited, pain was always accompanied by fever) and the origin of both is explained by the action of toxins formed in the cerebral fluid and acting on the centers of the spinal, medulla oblongata and, perhaps, even, brain.
Prof. V. F. Chizh. To the doctrine of neurasthenia. — Medical newspaper. 1910 Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9
Abstract
Having pointed out at the beginning of his interesting article how loose and inconsistent modern concepts of neurasthenia are and how often any obscure disease of the nervous system is called by this name, Prof. Chizh says that the entire doctrine of neurasthenia needs to be completely revised. In the form of the first initiative for such a huge work, the author reports his many years of observation of patients who turned to him about the so-called. neurasthenia.
A. A. Butenko. Reaction of urine with a solution of mercuric nitrous oxide (liq. Bellostii) in progressive paralysis. - Russian Doctor, 1910, No. 2.
Abstract
Studying the urine of patients with progressive paralysis, the author, among other things, believed that with a solution of mercuric nitrous oxide (10%), the urine of such patients, when boiled, gives a gray and sometimes even black precipitate (Dr. Efimov's reaction is with worms). Such a reaction is more or less constant and is considered by the author to be an auxiliary “remedy for diff. paralysis diagnosis. He obtained a positive result in 84-91% of the patients with progressive paralysis studied by him.

Privatdozent K.K. Skrobansky. Experience in experimental development of the issue of the pathogenesis of eclampsia. - Journal of obstetrics and women's diseases. 1910 January
Abstract
Experimental studies of recent years are increasingly elucidating the importance of the placenta in the process of metabolism between the body of the fetus and its mother, and at the same time, the view that the placenta is a source of poisons, the entry of which into the body leads to the disease of eclampsia, is increasingly firmly established, although the conclusions reached in their studies, the authors sometimes differ significantly in details. Dr. Scrobansky sees a common defect in their experiments in the fact that they took exclusively human placenta for injection into animals.
D. M. Uspensky. Pituitary Organ Therapy. — Practical. Doctor 1910, No. 7-8
Abstract

Prof. P. Dubois. Goals and ways of rational psychotherapy. Ziele und Wege einer ratiollen Psychotherapy. — Monatscher. f. d. hysik. - diat. Heilmeth. 6. H. 1909
Abstract
The article by a well-known neuropathologist-psychiatrist from Berg is of great interest, distinguished by his characteristic brilliant exposition, depth and originality of thought. Dubois points out that the modern clinic, in its ceaseless development of its experimental aspirations, has become too materialistic and has forgotten the "soul". Meanwhile, every practical doctor is well aware that the cure of the patient is due not so much to medicine as to psychotherapy. The author does not deny the obvious need for treatment with physical, material means of such diseases, which are based on material causes (trauma, infection, intoxication, diathesis), although here the influence of psychotherapy is quite large: physical treatment is faster and more expedient when the patient is in a cheerful, good mood; the patient must be able to make willingly and firmly follow the doctor's prescriptions - and this is the field of psychotherapy.
Prof. W. Winternitz. Graves' disease and its physico-dietetic treatment. Morbus Basedovii und seine physikalisch-diätetische Behandlung. — Monatscher. f. d. physic. - diat. Heilmeth. I. Heft. 1910
Abstract
The famous hydrotherapist does not share the generally accepted view on the pathogenesis of Graves' disease, as always depending on the disease of the thyroid gland. In most cases, he thinks, the whole symptom complex of the disease, like changes in the gland, is a secondary phenomenon, depending on the disease of various organs. Where it is impossible to play a leading role, the process should be considered as hyperthyreoidism, not hypothyreoidism.

Treasure. Soul suffering. — Kazan. 1909. 122 pages
Abstract
A small book representing excerpts from the diary of one of the former patients of a psychiatric hospital. Interest lies both in the depiction of the author's flattering experiences, and in the description of the internal life of the hospital and those patients with whom the author had to live. The author's impression of the hospital is quite benevolent; From this side, we hope that the book will serve the purpose of disseminating among the general public the correct views on the internal life of asylums for the mentally ill and the attitude of the staff of asylums to the sick. It is high time to stop being afraid of comfortable institutions for the mentally ill.

Chronicle of the Society of Neurologists and Psychiatrists at the Imperial Kazan University, February 24, 1910
Abstract
The report of the visitor of the Student Society Viktor Nikolaevich Plaksin was heard: Materials on the issue of student fatigue.
Dr. Pervushin welcomes such a setting of experiments: one can objectively judge one or another teaching system. To solve such a complex problem as the problem of student fatigue, repeated experiments are required. Based on the materials presented by the speaker, it is impossible to draw conclusions as to which day of the week the greatest percentage of fatigue falls: there is an element of error. The class life is also affected by the previous day - what the students were busy with, how many lessons were on the eve - this is not in the report.
