Meeting of February 24Prof. M. N. Cheboksarov: Adrenal lipase, its relation to poisons and clinical significance. The report was printed in issue 3 of "K.M. Journal". In the debate Prof. P.P. Vasiliev pointed out that microscopic examination of the adrenal glands of dead B., mentioned by the reporter, revealed the existence of changes both in the cortical and in the brain substance of them. Proff. С. С. Zimnitskii and P. N. Nikolaev, noting the practical importance and interest of the reporter's work, pointed out that it would be especially interesting to trace the content of adrenal lipase in such diseases as typhoid and typhoid, as well as in animals with artificial damage to their adrenal glands.

Twenty-nine cows from a 240-cow drylot Holstein dairy in north-central New Mexico aborted over a period of approximately 5 months. Nine aborted fetuses were necropsied, and all but 1 of the fetuses were between 5 and 7 months of gestation. Microscopic examination of fetal tissues revealed focal necrotizing encephalitis and nonsuppurative myocarditis in 7 of the 9 fetuses. Additional lesions observed in some fetuses were focal hepatic necrosis, nonsuppurative myositis, focal necrotizing placentitis, focal nonsuppurative pneumonia, and focal nonsuppurative nephritis. A few groups of Neospora caninum -like protozoan organisms were observed adjacent to necrotic foci in the brain of 2 fetuses and in the kidney of a third fetus. No other cause of abortion was detected.

Journal of neuropathology and psychiatry named after S. S. Korsakov, book. 1 and 2 1902The study of the literature on this issue (Kahlbaum, Kiernan, Chizh, Alzheimer) leads to the conclusion that the evidence on the pathological anatomy of early dementia is extremely inadequate and unclear. The author introduces the history of illness to two patients who suffered from early dementia. Both cases ended in death; at autopsy with microscopic examination, they appeared on the face: in one case, the brain was full-blooded, slightly swollen, atrophy of the gyrus of the brain and atrophy of the cortical layer, expressed equally in all lobes of the brain. The lateral ventricles are slightly distended and contain a significant amount of fluid; in another - leptomeningitis sclerotica, Atrophia

The Manson's schistosomiasis tumoral form rarely affects the brain. There are only 12 cases prior related with a mean age of 25 years and a male predominance. We describe a 16-year-old Brazilian Northeastern boy with a cerebellar mass lesion. The radiological aspect was considered compatible with glioma and a gross total resection was performed. Microscopic examination disclosed intraparenchymal granulomas surrounding Schistosoma mansoni eggs. The case is compared with the literature findings and some peculiar aspects of this trematode infection are reviewed.

Abstracts. Psychiatry.In the literature for the last three years, on the issue of acute delirium, as an independent psycho-nervous illness, there has not been full agreement; however, a look at the independence of acute delirium and its infectious origin becomes predominant. For their part, the authors V. and S. give two cases of acute delirium: one with subacute course and microscopic examination of the brain and spinal cord, the other only with pathological and anatomical data.

Methods.—The great difficulties heretofore encountered in investigating the course of nerve fibres in the brain have been, firstly, the want of a method of preparation by which their gross anatomy could be thoroughly exposed, and, secondly, the failure of any previously known process of staining to satisfactorily indicate their direction on microscopic examination. In endeavouring to collect reliable data from the records of lesions of the human brain, it becomes only too evident that until more efficient methods of localising lesions be adopted than those generally in use at the present day, little can possibly be added to the knowledge we already possess.

An 11-year-old dog succumbed to a seizure disorder of 18 days duration. At necropsy, an area of hemorrhage and discolored parenchyma was identified in the left pyriform lobe of the brain. Microscopic examination revealed a localized, necrotizing vasculitis with associated cerebral necrosis. Vasculitis was not present in other organs. This presentation is consistent with isolated central nervous system (CNS) angiitis, a rare form of vasculitis in humans.

Lesions of natural Helichrysum argyrosphaerum poisoning were studied in eight sheep and one goat. Light microscopic examination revealed widespread, bilaterally symmetrical status spongiosis of the white matter of the brain consistently present in the subependymal area adjacent to the lateral ventricles, cerebellar peduncles, and brain stem in all animals. In three animals, the ultrastructural finding of intramyelinic vacuolation due to splitting of the myelin lamellae at the intraperiod lines indicated myelin edema. There was also mild distension of perivascular and extracellular spaces in the severely affected areas. Significant changes were absent in neurons, glial cells, axons, or blood vessel walls. Myelin edema associated with degeneration and loss of axons and myelin and astrocytic gliosis was present in the intraorbital and intracranial portions of the optic nerves. In the intracanalicular portions of the nerves in three animals that were studied, more chronic lesions consisting of fibrosis and atrophy of the nerve suggested that the optic neuropathy follows compression of the nerve in the optic canal as a result of myelin edema. The toxic principle of the plant also caused a degenerative retinopathy in five animals. The essential histopathologic change was degeneration and loss of the photoreceptor outer segments predominantly in the nontapetal retina. These retinal lesions were associated with hyperplasia and hypertrophy and with migration of the pigmented epithelium, focal retinal separation, and depletion and loss of the nuclear layers.
