Fundus Changes resulting from War Injuries

Fatal injuries resulting from extreme water impact.

Macular changes resulting from papilloedema.

Six cases are presented with macular changes in association with papilloedema; 4 suffered permanent visual loss. The present paper emphasises this previously infrequent finding and discusses the haemodynamic and mechanical factors responsible. The macular changes consisted of haemorrhages situated in front, within, or behind the retina, and occasionally the results of neovascular membrane forma...

Electrolyte Changes Resulting from Injury

THE importance of adequate fluid and electrolyte therapy is now readily appreciated, and the principles underlying the correction of deficiencies are well established. Everywhere the importance of base conservation by the body is accepted, and measures taken to correct any deficiency of base substance are rigorously applied. We appreciate clearly the difference between a true water deficiency a...

Heterosis resulting from degenerative changes.

ERITABLE variations in inbred strains of maize occur infrequently. All H the mutations BO far found either do not increase the amount of growth and productiveness or clearly reduce the plants in some degree (JONES 1924, 193a, 1944; SINGLETON 1943). Several changes have been noted recently and reported in a preliminary way (JONES 1944) which reduce the vigor of the inbred plants but which increa...
