Important Results of Physiological Investigations - USSR,
Abstract
This is a translation of an article written by L. L. Shik in Priroda (Nature). On 10 to 18 June l959 there took place in Minsk the Ninth Congress of the All-Union Society of Physiologists, Biohemists, and Pharmacologists. Over 1000 delegates and 300 guests who had arrived from the entire Soviet Union participated in the work of the Congress. Four years have elapsed since the previous--eighth-- Congress of Physiologists. Many new data obtained by Soviet scientists have accumulated during this period and the Organizational Committee faced a difficult task: to present in the most complete form the present state of physiological science, to make possible the discussion of the maximum number of original reports on various subjects, and, in addition, to devote sufficient attention to the main and most important problems, as well as to organizational problems. In this connection for the first time in the history of physiological congresses in our country the entire program was composed of three sections: plenary meetings, symposiums on the most important problems, and sectional meetings with brief reports. In addition there were demonstrations of new experimental methods of investigation and instruments, as well as scientific films.
