“…Details are given in the The grand mean of all estimations made by the specific gravity method for plasma protein concentration of 80 men, of 59 wormen, and of 25 samples used in the course of the comparison with total nitrogen estimations was 7.7 g. per 100 ml. Discussion Marrack and Hoch (1949), on reviewing the available literature, concluded that the mean total protein concentration of normal adults approximated to that found by Gutman et al (1941)-namely, 7.2 g. per 100 ml. These estimations, however, were made on serum and not plasma.…”

PARTIAL HEPATECTOMY ever it met a fibrous septum. It was thereupon clamped on the band, which was ligated and cut. The dissection went on slowly round the tumour, which was lifted up as it became free. Some of the bands encountered were tiny, some were of nioderate size, but none were really large. When the tumour was finally removed the cavity left in the liver was like a tea-cup, oozing slightly from its whole surface, but not bleeding from any particular point. The total blood loss cannot have been more than three or four ounces (85-115 ml.).It was clear that such a cavity could not be closed. A long forceps was therefore passed down between the diaphragm and the liver till its point could be seen bulging the abdominal wall at the costal margin. An incision was made over the point and a strip of corrugated rubber was drawn back and laid in the cavity. The diaphragm was repaired, the lung re-expanded, and the thoracotomy incision closed.Dr. de Navasquez reported as follows on the specimen: "The specimen shows a spherical tumour 8 cm. in diameter which is an argentaffin tumour or 'carcinoid' of similar morphology to the tumour in the rectum. The excision appears to be complete, as the tumour is surrounded by normal liver."The patient was slightly jaundiced for a few days after the operation, but his condition was never alarming. Drainage was maintained for about a week. He is now back at his work as a fruit farmer, playing games, and feeling well. He has gained 30 lb. (13.6 kg.) in weight. He has lost his fiancee, who was more upset by the series of operations than he was, and threw him over. Perhaps he has gained more by his ordeal than he realizes. ConclusionI cannot claim to be familiar with the literature of partial hepatectomy, nor have I consulted more than the standard textbooks of operative surgery. It would, in any case, be out of place to burden a clinical report of a single case with references to the experience of others.The surgeon to-day is confronted with the almost impossible task of keeping in touch with a literature that increases in volume every year. He can read most of that which concerns the small branch in which he is particularly interested. For the rest he must be content to let others do the hard work at the coal face, and get the knowledge from them, picked, assorted, graded, and delivered in clean sacks. The knowledge thus acquired gains in perspective from being unclogged by excessive detail, and it is laid down in the association centres of a mind clarified by idleness. What I have learned of surgery since taking my Fellowship has been gleaned from registrars, house-surgeons, dressers, and sisters; from meetings of the Association of Surgeons. the Royal Society of Medicine, and the Medical Society of London; from journeyings round Europe with the Surgical Travellers; and from the Colchester Surgical Group and those who visit them. At a recent Colchester meeting we were discussing the surgery of the liver, and I learned for the first time that the method that proved so useful to me ...

“…The intimate relation of antibodies and gamma globulin has long been known (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(35)(36)(37). The increase in globulin in many infections consists not only in an elevation of specific antibodies identified by immunochemical methods but also in an increase that has been called "nonspecific antibody" or "reaction" globulin (38). Are these analogous to the gamma1 and gamma2 globulins?…”

“…The normal values for serum are practically identical with those of plasma despite a fibrinogen content of 200-400 mg./100 ml. in the latter (7,8). The addition of an anticoagulant increases the plasma salt concentration and causes diffusion of water out of the erythrocytes.…”
