Page 45 - ... incomplete reaction. The vessels which return first to their primary calibre, or even beyond, are naturally those which present in their structure the fewest contractile elements, viz., the venules. At the moment when these are opened, the arterioles being still closed, the venous blood, which had been at first driven back into the great trunks of the dark blood system, flows again into the finest vascular divisions, and then the extremities will take on that tint varying from blue to black which...
Page 216 - The peristaltic contraction travelling along such a structure as that of the ventricular wall must reach adjacent muscle bundles at different points of time, and since these bundles are connected with one another by anastomosing branches the contraction would naturally be propagated from one contracting fibre to another over which the contraction wave had already passed. Hence if the fibres are sufficiently excitable and ready to respond to contraction waves reaching them, there would evidently be...
Page 45 - In the simplest cases those in which the malady remains, if I may so say, in a rough state, the exaggerated peristaltic contraction of the capillaries drives the blood before it, the extremities become pale, withered looking, and insensible. This is the "dead finger." But this phenomenon does not persist long enough for gangrene to follow. To contraction succeeds relaxation, the circulation is re-established, and everything returns to the normal state after a period of reaction more or less painful....
Page 6 - ... aorta and its branches are kept fully distended, the blood is at each contraction of the ventricle propelled forward en masse and there is no trembling, or vibratory motion of the sides of the aorta, carotids, and subclavians and, as in the flexible tube when fully distended, no sound is emitted. But when the valves, becoming inadequate to their office, permit some of the blood contained in the ascending aorta, carotids, and subclavians to return into the left ventricle after each contraction,...

Page 134 - The question whether Distillers were negligent has been frequently referred to but, so far as I am aware, there has been no attempt to assess the evidence. If this material were released now, it appears to me to be almost inevitable that detailed answers would be published and there would be expressed various public prejudgments of this issue. That I would regard as very much against the public interest.
