In the implementation of the research plan adopted by the Medical Institute in 1941, the staff of the Department of General Surgery also took an active part. The subject of the plan included issues of predominantly defensive significance, primarily the problems of surgery associated with compliance with the rules of asepsis and antisepsis. The direction of scientific research was determined not only by the mass admission of the wounded to hospitals, but also by the insufficient provision of operating units with the necessary equipment, tools and apparatus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
