Kaplansky, Nalivkin, and Instekelis. Collapstherapy of pulmonary tuberculosis. Frenicoexesis and Thoracoplasty. 183 pp. Odessa, 1928

Among the methods of treatment of pulmonary tbc based on compression of the diseased lung, artificial stenomothorax has nowadays become the common property not only of clinics and large hospitals, but also of peripheral doctors. This cannot be said about other methods of lung compression treatment (collapsesterapies), about phrenicoexection and thoracoplasty, which have no right of citizenship in the Russian clinic and are very little familiar to doctors, especially to general practitioners. Therefore, the collective work of the above mentioned Odessa tuberculosis specialists and surgeon deserves great attention.
