Professor I. G. Gelman

February 1 p. died the largest occupational pathologist in the USSR, a clinician and public health physician prof. I.G. Gelman. From the very first years of his medical career, he became an active public physician. However, only after the October Revolution did I. G. find ample opportunities for expanding his work in the field of preventive medicine (housing and sanitary affairs, etc.). Since the establishment of the Institute. Obukh, one of the organizers of which was I.G., he devotes himself to scientific work in the field of occupational pathology. He owes the honor of creating this discipline in our USSR. The clinic of occupational diseases created by him, which he permanently headed, deservedly enjoys great prestige not only in the USSR, but also in Europe. IG Gelman is the author of over 70 publications. The best known is his "Guide to Occupational Diseases" and a number of works on the clinic of lead, mercury poisoning, and foundry fever. Of the works on general issues of the clinic, a monographic study on hypertension, as well as a number of major works on rheumatism, should be noted.
