Page 90 - ... traction of the lungs, and the very attenuated air in these organs act so as to dilate the cavities of the heart in the direction of the lungs. More blood flows into the right heart, and in proportion as the right auricle and ventricle can overcome the traction outward, the blood vessels of the lungs become filled with blood, and thus partly occupy the lung space. Much less blood is driven out of the left heart, so that the pulse may disappear. Hence, the heart is distended with blood and the...

Page 57 - Plausibility of the direct transmission of tuberculosis to the foetus from either parent" concludes as follows : 1. Unrecognized genital tuberculosis in women without pulmonary disease is not uncommon. 2. A tuberculous mother can transmit the disease to her offspring in utero. 3. Tuberculosis is apparently at times confined to the generative organs of women, probably with greater frequency than we now recognize. 4. Bacilli or their spores can be conveyed by means of seminal secretion to • women...
