The pathology of calves that died from experimental water intoxication was investigated. Oedema of the brain and urinary bladder, and renal damage were significant pathological findings in these calves. The findings were attributed to positive water balance in calves suffering from water intoxication.

Its beginning is innocuous enough, being characterized by cough and clear mucoid sputum; yet this may lead to incapacitating breathlessness, heart failure and death.

In recent years there has been considerable interest in conditions such as carpal tunnel compression and ulnar neuritis which are believed to be due to gentle compression or constriction of peripheral nerves. Many of these lesions have been explored, and usually the nerve is found swollen proximal to the constriction and narrowed deep to it. Since the symptoms caused by the nerve compression ar...

Progressive degenerative changes in ageing temporal arteries are described. These changes are usually severe in elderly patients, hence their presence in diagnostic biopsies provides no evidence of temporal arteritis past or present. In two patients in the series of random necropsies examined there were changes in the temporal arteries identical with those seen in patients known to have suffere...
