Analgesia or analgesia? Discussion about terms

Abstract

Not so long ago, during the discussion of the next issue of our journal, Professor E.M. Shifman raised the issue of the uniformity of spelling of various terms, in particular, he drew attention to the fact that different authors write differently the key word "analgesia" for our topic. A discussion arose - how is it correct, with a soft sign or not? Executive Secretary, Professor V.A. Koryachkin spoke in favor of writing without a soft sign, referring to the fact that there is no consensus, some philologists are for the soft sign, others are against. Both options are available in fundamental dictionaries.
