Musa Mirmammad oglu Abdullayev

Musa Mirmammad oglu Abdullayev (27 November 1927, Masallı district, Azerbaijan SSR, USSR — 8 August 1979, Baku, Azerbaijan SSR, USSR) was a prominent Azerbaijani hematologist, doctor of medicine, professor, and philologist-translator.

Musa Mirmammad oglu Abdullayev was born on 27 November 1927, in Gizilagaj village of Masalli region in an intellectual family.

His English and Russian were fluent even since high school.

The fact that he took a lesson of English from Zinin, a prominent German physician of the time, living in the village of Slavyanka in Gadabay district was a great stimulus for him to understand events more deeply and an important condition for the radiance of his talent as a translator.

When he was a schoolboy, his father Mirmammad Abdullayev moved to Baku with his family due to civil service.

After graduating from high school with honors, he graduated from the treatment and prevention faculty of the Azerbaijan State Medical Institute, as well as the English language faculty of the Azerbaijan State Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages (present Azerbaijan University of Languages)

He was one of the eight members of the anti-Soviet nationalist student-youth political organization "Lightning" (İldırım), formed for the independence of Azerbaijan within 1942–1944.

Despite his acquittal in 1956 for his political activities in "Lightning"(İldırım), the prominent scientist was invited to international scientific conferences held by foreign countries, but the Soviet regime blocked him each time.

Although these people, including Musa Abdullayev, were acquitted, the Soviet government was still afraid of their political views.

From 1958 he worked at the Azerbaijan Scientific Research Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, studied the blood clotting system.

Musa Abdullayev worked at the Republican Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion since 1958; in 1970–79 he was the head of the second department of propaedeutics of internal diseases of the Azerbaijan State Medical Institute.

In 1963–66 he worked as a scientific secretary at the Azerbaijan State Medical Institute, defended his PhD and doctoral dissertations for ten years, and obtained the academic title of professor.

In the article "Study of the hemostatic properties of Ekmolin", published in 1964, the researcher-scientist introduced the use of a new drug in medical science to prevent thromboembolic complications to the wider medical community.

Until then, heparin was used in the medical world to prevent thromboembolic complications.

In some cases, procaine sulfate was used to remove heparin from the body.

Namely, Professor Musa Abdullayev was the first to use ekmolin instead of procaine sulfate.

Until then, ekmolin was used by professors Yermolov and Valentinskaya in the treatment of viral influenza.

Musa Abdullayev, on the other hand, discovered a new feature of ekmolin to reduce the effects of heparin.

According to this discovery, the scientist conducted 32 experiments on 10 dogs.

Ekmolin has been shown to act as a procaine sulfate.

(1967–68)

In 1967 he published a monograph: "Several issues of blood clotting in the norm and pathology.",

With this monograph, the prominent hematologist laid the foundation of the scientific theory of blood clotting.

This monograph attracted the attention of hematologists of the former USSR.

The invention contained in this monograph has been approved in 25 April 1967 issue of the Medichinskaya Gazeta, published in the USSR.

In 1967, an invitation from Austria was also banned.

In fact, the young scientist at the time boldly said without hiding the reason:

"I am well known in foreign countries, but unfortunately, political circles do not want to let me there."

Innovative scientist Musa Abdullayev, who attracted the attention of hematologists abroad, was invited to the 12th International Conference of Hematologists held in 1969 – to the Federal Republic of Germany but was not admitted to the international conference by the former USSR government.

It is interesting that in 1969, Mustafa Topchubashov, a full member of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, world-famous scientist and politician, mentioned the name of his student in the article "Outstanding Surgeon" dedicated to the 60th anniversary of Fuad Efendiyev in the "Communist" newspaper.

Prominent hematologist Musa Abdullayev, while leading the second department of propaedeutics of internal diseases of the Medical Institute, implemented the method of cordial defibrillation in 1974–75, innovated in the history of medical science in Azerbaijan.

Professor Musa Abdullayev wrote the first two-volume English-Azerbaijani medical dictionary in 1979.

The incurable blows inflicted on the human destiny by the Stalin regime, the terrible years of exile, from time to time endangered the health of every member of the "Lightning", including Musa Abdullayev.

The eminent scientist of his time was such a selfless scientist in the field of medical science that the research work he wrote with his innate thinking is still on the agenda today.

Musa Abdullayev laid the foundation of hundreds of scientific theories and textbooks with his articles.

The fact that the cold, cruel death did not allow the self-sacrifice of science deprived Musa Abdullayev of many scientific inventions and fundamental works.

The untimely death of Musa Abdullayev, subjected to the repression because of his political activity in the name of independent Azerbaijan, suffered much as a result of torments in exile for the sake of his nation and homeland, but lived an unbreakable, unshakable life as a citizen, is not only the loss of a family.

The premature death of a scientist distinguished by his outstanding discoveries is a great and irreplaceable loss for Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani medical science, and for the history of Azerbaijani translation.

Prominent scientist Musa Abdullayev died on 8 August 1979, at the age of 51 in Baku.

He was married.
