Experimental Studies on the Beriberi Heart

Beriberi heart in Iowa veterans.

Beriberi heart disease does not constitute a rigid syndrome because the severity of cardiac failure, associated leriplleral neuritis, other concomitant signs and syimptomiis, and response to treatment are variable. Five lpatiellts with peripheral neuritis, edema and evidence of cardiac failure are presented. All improved after treatment, and, in two instances, there was marked reduction in card...

Experimental Studies on the Conical Cap tray Performance

In the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (ConCap tray) have been carried out. The ConCap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. The effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the ConCap tray was measured, compared and correlated. The hydraulic experiments w...

Studies on the Transplanted Heart

The metabolic changes in the homografted canine heart were studied in order to define the biochemical alterations accompanying homograft rejection. In several experiments, homograft rejection was accelerated by prior sensitization of the host animal. The homografted heart released pyruvate and lactate as well as malic dehydrogenase and aldolase. Extraction of glucose by the graft usually remain...
