PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN BONES AND JOINTS INDUCED BY INJURY

Bones and Joints Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis appears to be increasing throughout the world after years of continuous decline, despite the introduction of effective chemotherapy. This resurgence is related to the increasing number of patients immunocompromised by chemotherapeutic agents used to treat other diseases or AIDS; the appearance of multiple drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis, and aging population.

of the therapeutics applicable to them grounded 011 reason and experience. The method is similar to that adopted by Billroth in his great work on Surgical Pathology and Therapeutics, and when well handled is capable of the best possible results. The method is very well applied in the present instance, and this edition is a great advance upon the preceding editions in respect of its more complet...

Pulmonary microvascular dysfunction and pathological changes induced by blast injury in a rabbit model.

BACKGROUND Vascular leakage has been proven to play a critical role in the incidence and development of explosive pulmonary barotrauma. Quantitatively investigated in the present study was the severity of vascular leakage in a gradient blast injury series, as well as ultrastructural evidence relating to pulmonary vascular leakage. METHODS One hundred adult male New Zealand white rabbits were ...
