In 2021, it was 100 years since the death of a prominent domestic hygienist, Professor Irinarch Polikhronievich Skvortsov (18471921), son of a clergyman, after getting medical education at the Kazan Imperial University and the title of a physician in 1871 he worked for a short time in the position of zemstvo doctor in the Samara Governorate. In 1872 he was admitted to the Kazan Imperial University Department of Hygiene and till the end of his life devoted his scientific and pedagogical activity to hygiene. Irinarkh Polikhrontovich improved his knowledges in hygiene in the years 18731874 under the guidance of Professor A.P. Dobroslavin at the Imperial Medical and Surgical Academy Department of General, Land and Naval Forces Hygiene where defended his Doctor of Medicine degree thesis in 1874. In 1877, I.P. Skvortsov, associate professor of hygiene at the Imperial Kazan University, published the first in Russia "A short course of military field hygiene for officers and military doctors". Of particular interest is one of the annexes of this course, entitled "Instructions for protecting the health of military ranks of the army" ("Highly approved" on December 2, 1876), which is certainly an important element in the history of hygiene of military personnel. Later Professor I.P. Skvortsov headed the Department of Hygiene of the Warsaw and Kharkov Universities, and finished his career at the Kiev University. The creative heritage of this prominent Russian hygienist professor I.P. Skvortsov is comprehensive and multifaceted but is not fully known by modern specialists.

How People Learn

Medical schooling, at least as structured in the United States and Canada, is commonly assembled intuitively or empirically to meet concrete goals. Despite a long history of scholarship in educational theory to address how people learn, this is rarely examined during medical curriculum design. We provide a historical perspective on educational theory–practice–philosophy and a tool to aid faculty in learning how to identify and use theory–practice–philosophy for the design of curriculum and instruction.

We study the short-time evolutionary history of the well-known contact binary VW Cep. Our analysis is based partly on the numerous UBV lightcurves obtained at Tartu Observatory, IUE spectra, and samples from the published data. Special attention is given to the effects of asymmetry of the light curves. A higher degree of asymmetry outside the eclipses along with the significant displacements of the brightness maxima in respect to the elongation phase is interpreted as evidence that a considerable portion of the flaring source is concentrated close to the neck connecting the components. We discuss the nature of asymmetry in terms of possible mass exchange and the flare activity and compare the results of our model computations with the record of orbital period variations over the last 60 years.

In this article I address the problem of the definition, manifestations, characteristics, and causes of catastrophic evil (one that leads hundreds or thousands of people to exclusion, suffering and death in a short time). To this end, I start from a set of George Steiner’s theses on the nature of evil that José Saramago’s thought and literary discourse confirm and support with an eloquence and depth that is rare in both the history of ideas and and in universal literature.

This report presents findings of a double-blind crossover prospective study involving the use of a short course of prednisone for the treatment of otitis media with effusion (OME). Subjects were 41 children with persistent OME for three weeks or more despite the use of antimicrobial and/or decongestant therapy. Pulverized prednisone tablets (5 mg) or lactose powder (placebo) were packed in unmarked gelatin capsules and placed in identically coded vials. The dosage schedule was 1 mg/kg/day for the first two days in a divided dose; 0.75 mg/kg/day for the next two days; followed by 5–10 mg/kg/day as a single morning dose for the remaining three days. In addition, all children received concomitant sulfisoxazole suspension of 50 mg/kg/day twice daily. Results for 40 children treated with steroids either initially or following crossover revealed that 70% demonstrated resolution of OME via pneumo-otoscopy and 64% via tympanometry. In addition, we examined the relationship between the ability to resolve effusion with corticosteroids and six variables: 1) duration of OME prior to entry into study, 2) month of year at entry into study, 3) bilateral versus unilateral disease, 4) child's sex, 5) prior use of ventilating tubes, and 6) personal or family history of allergy. The results of these comparisons are discussed.
