The colloidal osmotic and hydrostatic pressure of chronic subdural hematomas were measured with a manometer in 35 patients. Manometric measurement showed an increase in the hematoma fluid cor responding to 5% of the total hematoma volume. The maximum colloidal osmotic pressure of the hematoma fluid, as measured with a transducer, was 23 ± 12 mmHg (mean ± standard deviation). Hemor...

SIR,-In animals the response of serum cholesterol to dietary cholesterol is genetically determined, and non-responders, with only small changes in serum cholesterol after dietary cholesterol, and hyper-responders have been defined. In man response to cholesterol in the diet is very varied2 but since dietary challenge is usually done only once the reproducibility of the response is not known and...
