Abstract

Edited by prof. E. M. Kogan and Dr. I. Ya. Shtrum. Ukrainian State Institute of Occupational Pathology and Hygiene (formerly the Institute of Occupational Medicine). Stalin's branch. Stalin. Publishing house "Dictatorship of Labor". 1928 465 pages. "Proceedings and Materials" of the Institute. Issue Vii. This January marked the 5th anniversary of the existence of the "Ukrainian State Institute of Pathology and Occupational Health" (until 1928, it was called the "Ukrainian Institute of Working Medicine"). This jubilee, modest in time, was solemnly celebrated. This institute, like a number of similar institutes, is the "brainchild of Soviet medicine". This is a new type of research institutes, born of the October Revolution, dedicated to the study of the problem of labor along the lines of "occupational pathology" and "occupational hazards". In the USSR we now have a whole network of similar institutions in the capital and large industrial centers (Moscow 4 institutes, Leningrad, Kharkov with several branches in Ukraine, Sverdlovsk, Rostov n / A, Baku); in a wide - on a predominantly industrial periphery - we have up to 30 similar small institutes under various names - "offices and laboratories for the study of occupational pathology", "offices of social pathology", "occupational dispensaries", etc. The history of all these institutes is a little more than 5 years; the first and "oldest" in this short history is the Institute. Butt in Moscow to serve Moscow and the Moscow province; the first "Clinic of Social and Occupational Diseases" was the Clinic of the 1st MGU (now the Central State Institute for the Study of Occupational Diseases). The Ukrainian Institute is also one of the "oldest" ones. All these institutes already have an interesting and rich chronicle of scientific research searches and works. This is evidenced by the history of the Ukrainian Institute. This is evidenced by the VII scientific collection, devoted to one of our most important industries - metallurgical, one of the most difficult areas - the study of "pathology and occupational health in open-hearth and rolling shops". These workshops, as you know, are the most difficult and difficult in terms of working conditions, and are burdened with the greatest "occupational hazards and occupational pathology."
