Measurement of the colloid osmotic pressure of the blood, or argument depending thereon, has been involved in much recent work on the origin of tissue fluid from the blood through capillary walls and in work on changes taking place in the blood due to various causes. It may be sufficient to mention Krogh (1929), Landis (1925-26, 1927, 1930, a, 1930, b), Loewen, Field, and Drinker (1931), Meyer ...

MOST of the phosphatides are chemically not very stable, Decomposition can occur by oxidation of the unsaturated fatty acids or by hydrolysis. Investigations on this point have been carried out by numerous workers [Warburg and Meyerhof, 1913; Paal, 1929; Page and Schmidt, 1931; Fiori, 1930, 1, 2; 1931; 1932]. In the present paper some observations on the spontaneous decomposition of lecithin ar...

The use of colorimetry within industry has grown extensively in the last few decades. Central to many of today’s instruments is the work of the CIE system, established in 1931. Many have questioned the validity of the assumptions made by Wright (1928-29) and Guild (1931), some suggesting that the 1931 color matching functions are not the best representation of the human visual systems’ cone res...

It is now generally accepted that in all cases of prolapse of the uterus (by which term we include cystocele, rectocele, and varying degrees of descent of the uterus, as well as simple hypertrophy of the cervix), operation is the method of choice. It is, however, sometimes difficult to persuade patients that this is the case and we are often asked whether operation will really cure the conditio...
