Diuretics, hepatic and thoracic duct lymph flows in the dog.

Absorption and transport of digitoxin in the dog.

Absorption of digitoxin «us studied in 14 fasted anesthetized dogs after administration of 50 (JLC of H-digitoxin mixed with 1 mg of unlabeled digitoxin into either the duodenum or stomach. Radioactivity was measured in portal, hepatic, and central venous plasma, thoracic duct lymph, common duct bile and urine for 5 hours after digitoxin was given. Three dogs were given a single intravenous dos...

Thoracic duct and hepatic lymph in idiopathic portal hypertension.

Lymph dynamics in idiopathic portal hypertension has been studied in two phases. In the first phase thoracic duct lymph transport was studied in 11 patients with idiopathic portal hypertension by cannulating the duct. This revealed altered lymph transport in the form of a distended thoracic duct, raised pressure in the duct, and haemorrhagic lymph with an increased flow rate. The lymph flow rat...

Thoracic duct changes in schistosomal hepatic fibrosis.

The changes in the thoracic duct were studied in schistosomatic hepatic fibrosis, particularly in cases with ascites. The postmortem findings, lymphangiography, and clinical thoracic duct cannulation showed that, particularly in cases with ascites, the thoracic duct is dilated, pressure within is raised, and the lymph flow is increased. The significance of these findings is discussed in relatio...

Lymphocytes in thoracic duct intestinal and hepatic lymph.

Radiographic and haemodynamic patterns of portal hypertension in hepatosplenic schistosomiasis: selection of surgical procedure.

Twenty-eight patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis and portal hypertension were studied. The transumbilical portal pressure, transsplenic portal pressure, and thoracic duct occluded pressure were measured simultaneously and thoracic duct lymph flow estimated. Changes in the splanchnic vasculature were studied radiologically barium swallow, splenoportography, and umbilical portography. The...
