An investigation of the chemistry of the suprarenal cortex has been under way in this laboratory for the past few years. In December, 1933, a crystalline organic substance was first obtained from an extract of the gland. This substance was used in place of the whole extract of the suprarenal cortex without any other change in experimental conditions (3). The results indicated that the crystalli...

The macroanatomical research of the aorticorenal ganglion (ARG) was conducted on 14 domestic pigs – 4 males and 10 females of 110 days of gestation. The pigs were obtained from one uterus. The examinations were carried out using the method of macroscopic preparation with a forehead magnifying glass and binocular (magnification 2.0–5.0x). The measurements of the ARG were performed with the aid o...

The angioarchitecture of the coeliac sympathetic ganglion complex (CGC) of the common tree shrew (Tupaia glis) was studied by the vascular corrosion cast technique in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy. The CGC of the tree shrew was found to be a highly vascularised organ. It normally received arterial blood supply from branches of the inferior phrenic, superior suprarenal and inferi...

We describe a patient with a suprarenal pheochromocytoma that had a complex course with electrocardiographic findings characteristic of diffuse myocardial damage, normal findings on coronary angiography, and left intraventricular thrombus complicated by embolic stroke.
