Life
Musa Mirmammad oglu Abdullayev was born on November 27, 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)
From 1958 he worked at the Azerbaijan Scientific Research Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, studied the blood clotting system. In 1963-66 he worked as a scientific secretary at the Azerbaijan State Medical Institute, defended his Ph.D. and doctoral dissertations for ten years, and obtained the academic title of professor. (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. 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. 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. 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."
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. 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. 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. 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.
