The torture of M. L. Melnikov from a scientific point of view
Abstract
In June 1907, all of Russia was amazed and indignant at the crafty involvement and villainous torture of a member of the Union of the Russian People in Odessa, M. L. Melnikov, by some party of people.
According to Russkaya Rech, the circumstances of the case were as follows. On May 9 in the afternoon, a young man, 17 years old, M. L. Melnikov, who was a pupil of the Odessa Theological Seminary, was walking along the Nikolaevsky Boulevard in Odessa. Tired of the walk, Mr. Melnikov sat down on a bench opposite the apartment of the district commander, Mr. Kaulbars. Three young Jews were sitting on a bench nearby. Soon Kaulbars and his family came out onto the balcony of the vis-a-vis house.

To the question of lumbar puncture in nervous diseases
Abstract
После того как Quincke в 1891 году ввел поясничный прокол в клинику, он получил широкое применение у постели нервных больных. Это обстоятельство вполне оправдывается теми ценными подчас результатами, которые дает пункция, главным образом, в диагностическом, а отчасти и в терапевтическом отношениях. Действительно, люмбальная пункция нередко разрешает наши сомнения там, где, мы, руководясь обычными методами изследования больных, не в состоянии выяснить себе диагноз страдания, как это, например, нередко случается при ранних степенях таких страданий, как tabes dorsalis или dementia paralytica.

Modern trends in the study of aphasia
Abstract
In the history of the doctrine of aphasia, there are already several eras. The most accurate moment in the history of this doctrine was in 1861, when Broca made a report at the Paris Medical Academy, in which, on the basis of two autopsies, he argued that the integrity of the third and partly the second left frontal gyri is necessary for the correct formation of speech.
A few years later, the fact was noted that a violation of the integrity of the Broca gyrus inevitably entails aphasia, but that aphasia is far from always associated with a lesion of the Broca gyrus. Already Meynert (1866) and Sander (1869) proved that the symptom complex of aphasia and its anatomical basis are much more complex than Broca suggested.

"On the question of the fine structure of peripheral sympathetic ganglia"
Abstract
In studying the fine structure of the peripheral sympathetic ganglia of mammals, I constantly used that modification of Ehrlich's method (staining of nerve elements with methylene blue), which I proposed in previous works and on the description of which in this small article I consider it superfluous to dwell. In these works on the fine structure of the ganglia of the heart and bladder, I propose a new classification of the nerve cells of the peripheral sympathetic ganglia, based on facts.

To the casuistry of myasthenia (myasthenia gravis)
Abstract
Before describing the patient observed by me with myasthenic paralysis or myasthenia gravis, I allow myself to report some data on this rather rare disease, noticed 15-20 years ago. —Myasth. gravis is clinically expressed in rapid and severe fatigue and weakness of voluntary muscles, reaching paresis and temporary paralysis.
Despite a significant number of observations (more than 200) and despite more than 50 autopsies, the essence of the disease has not yet been clarified, and the question has not been resolved whether to classify myasthenia gravis as an independent disease, or to look at it only as a symptom complex.

To the innervation of the swallowing movement
Abstract
In presenting the results that were obtained in the experiments just described, we will consider separately the results of stimulation of each of the investigated nerves. At the same time, we will first dwell on the irritations of the central ends, therefore, centripetal fibers, and then we will move on to irritations of the peripheral ends, i.e., centrifugal fibers.

A. V. Agapov. To the casuistry of tumors of the cerebellar-pontine angle. Journal of Neur. and psycho. named after S. S. Korsakov. Book 3 - 4. 1908
Abstract
The author describes a case where, on the basis of clinical data - dizziness, coordination disorders, a long course and the absence of indications of lues during the life of the patient, it was suggested that the cerebellum was affected. An autopsy revealed the presence of two tumors, cystic degenerate, each about 1/2 of a chicken egg, located in the tonsilla et flocculus region of both hemispheres of the cerebellum, on the sides of the medulla oblongata (in the angle between the pons and the cerebellum). On cuts, it was found that the substance of the cerebellum was separated from the mass of the tumor and was only squeezed by the tumor, which was in connection with the auditory nerve under the pia mater.

Dr. A. I. Yushchenko. Influence of thyroidin, spermine and adrenaline, as well as removal of the thyroid gland and testicles, on oxidative processes, urine toxicity and respiratory gas exchange in animals. Russian Doctor. 1908
Abstract
When investigating the processes of oxidation and poisonousness of urine in mentally ill people, one usually has to confine oneself to elucidating their increase and decrease, while a deeper study of these processes in people still seems difficult. For a deeper study of this matter, one has to study it on animals and then transfer it to people. The author has studied artificial hypersecretion and ascretion of the thyroid gland, testicles and adrenal glands in animals and gives the following results.

Ernest Dupre et B. Charpentier. Chronic polyneuritis with mental symptoms. Des psychopolyneurites chroniques. L'Encephole 1908. No. 4, avril
Abstract
Often, convulsive attacks are accompanied by acute edema of the lungs, and such attacks are very life-threatening. In general, apparently, all seizures of epilepsy are accompanied by an increased secretion of mucus from the respiratory tract. Acute edema is often associated with cyanosis and dyspnea.

Ernest Dupre et B. Charpentier. Chronic polyneuritis with mental symptoms. Des psychopolyneurites chroniques. L'Encephole 1908. No. 4, avril
Abstract
Acute and subacute polyneuritis accompanied by mental symptoms have been the subject of scientific study in the last 20 years; but this cannot be said of chronic psycho-polyneuritis, the question of which can be considered relatively new. One of the authors mentioned, Dupré, elaborated this question from the point of view of etiological factors. The present, joint work with R. Charpentier, which is of exceptional clinical importance, concerns the general characteristics of psychopolyneuritis, and as an example, the authors cite one clinical case.

Dr. I. D. Ermakov. Traumatic psychosis. Journal. neur. and psychiatrist. named after S. S. Korsakov. 1908, book. 3-4
Abstract
Describing several cases of traumatic psychosis, which had a peculiar course and are interesting especially because they belonged to the earliest stages of the development of mental illness during the Russo-Japanese War, the author notes the following features of the course of traumatic psychosis in war: Hereditary aggravation and stigmata of degeneration are found in traumatic psychosis more often than 50% and apparently play the role of the soil on which the disease develops. The mood of patients is depressed, timid, elevated very rarely.

V. A. Muratov. On the doctrine of periodic insanity in children. Modern psychiatry. Oct. 1907
Abstract
The paper describes four cases of periodic psychosis in children. The author's conclusions are as follows: Periodic psychosis in children gives the same clinical forms as in adults, allowing for a circular, manic-depressive and monotonous periodic course. Judging by our cases, stuporous states develop quite easily, both in the manic and in the depressive stage.

A. Poletaev. Simulative illnesses in prisoners. Vestn. societies. hygiene, judicial and practical. medicine. Forensic psychiatry. July, 1908
Abstract
The author, in a rather concise essay, examines, on the basis of 20 years of observation, feigning illnesses in prisoners and says that the latter simulate diseases of all organs and systems, except for acute infectious diseases. No feigning illnesses were observed in children. Men seem to feign more often than women; untried men and women more often feign than other categories of prisoners in order to extend the time before the trial, and in the meantime to discuss their investigative case in more detail before the trial, in a word, to utilize everything around them for their own benefit by their imaginary illness.

Dr. Birshubsky. To the treatment of postpartum psychosis. Modern psychiatry. 1908
Abstract
Recently, Luciene Picqué pointed out that uteri surgery, such as curettage and even amputation of the cervix, can have a curative effect on psychoses that develop in women in the postpartum period. The author, in the case of postpartum psychosis, resembling hallucinatory insanity, performed curettage on the patient, after which, three months later, the patient left in an almost healthy state. The author attributes recovery to surgical treatment.

Prof. Maeret. Jealousy. La Jalousie. 1908
Abstract
This monograph is devoted to the study of jealousy in its physiological and pathological state.

Pathological passion can manifest itself in the form of insanity, delusions of jealousy, monomony of jealousy in the form of delusions of persecution of automatic impulsivity, pure monosthesia and hyperesthesia of jealousy. The author analyzes jealousy from the point of view of physio-psychological, clinical and forensic.

Chronicle and mix. Volume XV, № 4 (1908)
Abstract
By the highest order of 18 Oct. 1909 The intern of the Kazan Regional Hospital, Dr. V.S. Boldyrev, was appointed senior intern of the same Hospital.
We have received a petition from the Parents' Committee at the Yekaterinburg Men's Gymnasium to the Minister of Public Education to cancel the exams, the content of which is given in an abbreviated form. The Parents' Committee unconditionally denies the usefulness of exams and sees in them the cause of excessive nervous excitement among children, which entails not a better assimilation of the sciences they teach, but, on the contrary, a desire to take courses concisely, adapting only to the programs that are supposed to be for exams.

Chronicle of the Society of Neurologists and Psychiatrists at the Imperial Kazan University. Protocol of September 24, 1908
Abstract
Real member N. A. Donskov demonstrated a patient with hysterical flatulence.
The patient has been suffering from hysteria for a long time; the intestinal disease arose later.
Prof. N. A. Mislavsky. At the heart of this disease is undoubtedly a painful state of the cerebral cortex, which results in atony of the intestines and an increase in the tone of the sphincters, which causes flatulence. The stomach is in the same conditions. The origin of this phenomenon is clear; nevertheless, the study of the stomach and intestines is very important; since the path of psychoreflexes may also be affected, as Prof. Pavlov pointed out.
