The next section of the book consists of an extensive, 90-page report by Joel Elkes on the effects of psychosomimetic drugs in animals and man. This represents a detailed presentation of the valuable work of Elkes and his group, and one may be very gr...

Heparin and the adrenal cortex.

The occasional occurrence of thrombosis after operation has stimulated many attempts to demonstrate an increased coagulability of the blood in the post-operative period. Most of these attempts gave negative or equivocal results, probably because the methods employed were not sensitive enough to record the changes occurring in the complex process of blood coagulation. Nevertheless several invest...

Adrenal cortex in marasmic children.

The effect of malnutrition on the adrenal cortex has not been well studied. Earlier reports suggested that malnutrition in man produced adrenocortical hypofunction (Zubiratn and Gomez-Mont, 1953), and more recent reports suggest normal function (Lurie and Jackson, 1962) and possibly hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex in malnourished infants (Alleyne and Young, 1966). The purpose of this study ...
