Diagnosis and Treatment of Secondary Shock

Causal influences in haematemesis and melaena

“…The action of aspirin is certainly local and irritative; it is also suggested that it may either have a lesser effect from the hypothalamus via the vagi or through the gastric blood supply. After aspirin, even acute ulcerations, which can be widespread, may necessitate surgical treatment but my findings suggest that the need for immediate surgical treatment of bleeding ulcers has been greatly diminished in recent years by the greater use of judicious blood transfusion (Kekwick, Maycock, Marriott, and Whitby, 1941).…”

Low Protein Rh Immane Globulin (Rh IgG)

“…Ultracentrifugal Sedimentation Pattern Sedimentation coefficient analyses of the five lots were carried out on Feb ruary 7,1972 by Dr. David Burton, Department of Microbiology, Univers ity of Manitoba: the lots at that time were from 32.25 to 16.5 months old. Each lot was diluted with sterile 0.9-percent sahne to give a protein con centration of 0.5-0.6% and examined in a Beckman Model E analytical ultracentrifuge at 20 °C.…”

“…The basis for this belief is obscure and is not held by some, notably the group at the Lister Institute, Elstree. Kekwick [7] has for years maintained that immune globulin in as little as 1% solution is stable. Maycock [11] in 1969 sent us observations on six lots of Rh immune globulin with total protein concentra tions of 3.8-7.0 %, stored for periods of [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] months.…”

Defense Mechanisms

“…More recently , considerable evidence has . accumulated (47,48,49,59,60,61,82,110) that lymphocytes form antibodies. Ehrich & Harris (60) believe that th e granulocytes may play an essential role.…”
