CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE CAPILLARY CIRCULATION

Observations on the choroidal circulation.

THE discovery of aqueous veins and subsequent studies of their significance in health and disease have been responsible in no small measure for a new impetus to research work in the aetiology of glaucoma, which in turn has necessitated a re-examination of our fundamental knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the ocular circulation and the drainage of the aqueous humour, with particular ref...

Observations on the circulation in the cochlea.

A STUDY of the circulation in the labyrinth, to be complete, must include an investigation of the fluid circulation. The fluid system in the labyrinth is much more complex than that of the cerebrospinal axis. In the latter, the cerebrospinal fluid, produced by the choroid plexuses, circulates by known anatomical pathways and its main function is the protection of the brain. In the labyrinth, ho...

The effect of enteral oxygen administration on the hepatic circulation during halothane anaesthesia: clinical observations.

A study of the estimated hepatic blood flow (EHBF) using a colloidal gold technique in 28 patients undergoing saphenous vein stripping, showed that the EHBF decreased to 68% of its initial value during the period of halothane anaeshtesia and operation. When enteral oxygen was added EHBF increased to 82% of its initial value. An investigation in 14 other patients under going upper abdominal oper...

Clinical Observations Cn the Effect of Resperbje on the Coronary Circulation of Hypertension Patients

Sustaining observations of the unsteady ocean circulation.

Sustained observations of ocean properties reveal a global warming trend and rising sea levels. These changes have been documented by traditional ship-based measurements of ocean properties, whereas more recent Argo profiling floats and satellite records permit estimates of ocean changes on a near real-time basis. Through these and newer methods of observing the oceans, scientists are moving fr...
