Side 128 - At first small gray specks or elevated gray spots (glanders-nodules), varying in size from that of a pin's head to that of a pea, make their appearance (Fig.
Side 183 - ... middle coats, and thereby render them incapable of inflaming, nor does it appear that anastomosing branches can supply this defect, for if the branches which immediately supply the cut surfaces are bruised and compressed by the ligature, how is the blood from anastomosing branches to enter them ? But admitting that such a ligature makes a proper wound, and that the wound unites, still it may cover that part of the external coat which is directly over the newly united part, and consequently, as...
Side 419 - ... being distended by the gravitation of their contents in the erect posture, and thereby promote their contraction. Over this adhesive bandage, thus applied, comes an additional covering of emplastrum saponis, spread on 'thick leather, and cut into four broad pieces, one for the front, the other for the back, the two others for the sides of the joint. Lastly, the whole is secured by means of a calico bandage, which is put on very gently, and rather for the purpose of securing the plaster, and giving...
Side 450 - They all terminate in the gradual destruction or transformation of the tissues which they affect. 3d. They have all a tendency to affect several organs in the same individual. 4th. They all possess, although in various degrees, the same reproductive character.
Side 174 - An impetuous flow of blood, a sudden and forcible retraction of the artery within its sheath, and a slight contraction of its extremity, are the immediate and almost simultaneous effects of its division. The natural impulse, however, with which the blood is driven on, in some measure counteracts the retraction, and resists the contraction of the artery. The blood is effused into the cellular substance between the artery and its sheath, and passing through that canal of the sheath which had been...
Side 388 - ... will not be found distorted, unless there be at the same lime marks of rickets in some of the long and solid bones ; and it is argued by his brother, that as neither the bones of the upper, nor those of the lower extremities become incurvated, when the distortion commences near the age of puberty, it follows, that a cause, totally different from rickets, gives rise to it, and that the pelvis incurs no danger of being implicated in this deformity. Mr. Alexander Shaw, therefore, considers those...
Side 183 - ... is most favorable to adhesion, because it is scarcely possible to tie it smoothly around the artery, which is very likely to be thrown into folds, or to be puckered by it, and consequently to have an irregular, bruised wound made in its middle and internal coats. And even if it should make a proper wound, yet by covering a considerable space of the external surface of the artery, it may destroy the very vessels which pass on it in their way to the cut surfaces of the internal and middle coats,...
Side 174 - ... them. These fibres entangle the blood as it flows, and thus the foundation is laid for the formation of a coagulum at the mouth of the artery, and which appears to be completed by the blood, as it passes through this canal of the sheath, gradually adhering and coagulating around its internal surface, till it completely fills it up from the circumference to the centre.
Side 175 - ... in its sheath. The mouth of the artery being no longer pervious, nor a collateral branch very near it, the blood just within it is at rest, coagulates, and forms in general a slender conical coagulum, which neither fills up the canal of the artery, nor adheres to its sides, except by a small portion of the circumference of its base, which lies near the extremity of the vessel.
Side 455 - ... when it is confined to a small extent of the vena portae ; and, lastly, in blood which has been effused into the cellular tissue and on the surface of organs. The divisions of the vascular system in which the carcinomatous substance has been observed, are the venous and capillary.
