[The mechanism of formation of electrical activity in nerve tissue and its significance for cognition of function]

LISSÁK Kálmán

[The discovery and practical application of the doctrine of modern electricity is a major milestone in the cultural history of mankind. Of general interest and particular importance in the history of electricity are bioelectric currents, because the discovery of "animal electricity" was the basis of the doctrine of modern electricity. Galvani's work, De viribus electricitatis in motu muscularis commentarius, published in 1791, not only marks the beginning of the science of electrophysiology, but the ensuing debate led Volta to discover the existence of current electricity, Galvanic current, and the morphology of the electric organs of the electric ray, already known in antiquity, helped him to formulate the Volta column. ]

[Prevention and treatment of amentiformis images resulting from stacked electroshock treatment]

ZSOMBÓK György

[During cumulative electroconvulsive therapy, amentiform restlessness may occur before and after the stupor phase; in individuals with signs of mild hyperthyroidism, with usually very marked sympathicotonic signs. The clinical observations outlined above suggest that the reduction in the body's mobilisable fluid, partly due to the increase in sympathicotonia and prolonged, intense capillary permeability following ES treatment, is a significant factor in its induction. The immediate resolution of confusion by i.v. administration of ergotamine tartrate or its hydrated derivative (DHE45), and the sustained sedation by combined injections of Sevenal+ergotamine tartrate have been shown to be effective. Prophylactic, regularly monitored tea drinking during treatment can reduce complications and, with immediate combined sedation in the presence of a mentiform condition, corrigorate fluid dysfunction and completely eliminate mortality. ]

[Pregnancy vomiting in the light of Pavlovian reflexology]

KLIMES Károly, TARJÁN György

[Vomiting during pregnancy has long been a well-known, almost physiologically accepted complication of pregnancy. The old textbooks divided the phenomenon of increased vomiting in pregnancy (hyperemesis gravidarum) into toxic, reflex and psychogenic causes. In addition to the minor error of scientific arbitrariness, there was a much greater therapeutic error, in that the doctor's therapeutic activity, which was almost entirely subjective, oscillated between excessive prescriptions and the trivialisation of vomiting. On many occasions, however, what started out as harmless vomiting in pregnancy became more and more severe, the patient became dehydrated as a result of the increasing vomiting and the picture became increasingly toxic. It is also important to note that severe toxic vomiting was an indication for abortion, and therefore the precise assessment of the vomiting condition was not only a medical but also a socio-political and even moral task.]
