Pagina 234 - ... a young woman who had died suddenly, the preceding day, when the catamenia were flowing. Both ovaria were remarkably large, and both fallopian tubes were red and turgid. The peritoneal coat of the left ovarium was perforated at that extremity which was nearest to the uterus, by a circular opening, around which aperture, for several lines, the surface of the ovarium was elevated and of a bright scarlet colour, like extravasated injection. The margin of this opening was thin and smooth, and did...
Pagina 171 - Andral's account in his own words: ( Softening of the mucous membrane of the stomach appears to me to be a common affection in old people whose digestion becomes disordered, their health having previously been very good. Their appetite first diminishes, they then lose it entirely, and, soon after, begin to feel the greatest dislike to all kinds of food. They experience a constant feeling of uneasiness and weight, rather than actual pain, in the region of the stomach ; and their tongue which is usually...
Pagina 164 - The following is the natural condition of the mucous membrane, according to Andral. " In the stomach, says Andral, we may allow the mucous membrane to be of the natural thickness, when, on making an incision in it, without dividing the sub-mucous cellular tissue, we can easily detach pretty considerable shreds with, a forceps : the shreds should be larger in the pyloric, than in the splenic portion. In the duodenum, a difference in the nature of the membrane, probably connected with the greater abundance...
Pagina 147 - The intestinal mucous membrane of a living animal, during a tranquil state of the circulation, is observed to be of a red tint somewhat deeper than that of the mucous membrane of the cheek in a healthy man. This tint is replaced by uniform paleness, or, at the utmost, by...
Pagina 214 - Under these circumstances the walls are sometimes attenuated, and sometimes of natural thickness. The dilatation arises from distension of the organ, by accumulations of food which cannot pass through the pylorus. After the lapse of several days, the stomach, distended to the extreme, relieves itself by disgorging its contents ; and hence, says Andral, arise those vomitings, so remarkable for their extreme copiousness, which supervene from time to time, (every eight or ten days, for instance,) in...
Pagina 245 - Ibid, vol. xvi. 54. The local symptoms of this affection are often so obscure as to escape detection during life, while the constitutional symptoms, which often resemble in a striking manner the effects produced by the introduction of specific poisons into the body, are so violent as to yield to no remedies, however early and vigorously employed.
Pagina lxxiv - ... colour; to its internal coat adhered an adventitious membrane of the same colour, containing within it a firm coagulum, made up of thin layers of dense lymph. The internal iliac was rendered quite impervious by dense, darkcoloured, bluish membranes, and at its entrance into the common iliac was converted into a solid cord. The contracted external iliac contained within it a soft yellowish...
Pagina 20 - ... from the size of a pin's head to that of a pea ; scattered through a large body of sand or clay ; and in this state it is called by the Mandingoes sanoo munko,
Pagina 245 - The thoracic duct above this part was quite healthy. The uterus •was scarcely contracted, and the internal surface of the lower half was soft and shreddy, and in a state of slough. The upper part, where no pus was found externally, was also healthy, or nearly so, on its inner surface...
Pagina lxxiv - The femoral vein, from Poupart's ligament to the middle of the thigh, was diminished in size, and almost inseparable from the artery. Its tunics were thickened, and its interior coated with a dense membrane, surrounding a solid purple coagulum strongly adherent to it. The superficial and deep femoral veins were in a similar condition.
