Biochemical Changes of the Arterial Wall in Atherosclerosis with Special Reference to Connective Tissue: Promising Experimental Avenues for their Prevention

Either a corticosteroid or a corticotrophin may be used in the management of asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, and of a number of less common conditions including sarcoidosis, fibrosing alveolitis, the nephrotic syndrome, certain connective tissue disorders and certain skin diseases. The choice between them is influenced mainly by their unwanted effects and by the convenience of oral medication compared with injections. In emergencies of course only intravenous injection of a corticosteroid is appropriate.

Striped Muscle

Curiously enough many of the early microscopists—Schwann for instance—recognised that the fibrils of a muscle are not simply threads of uniform thickness, like those of connective tissue: they were able to demonstrate their varicose character, even with the imperfect lenses at their command.

Continuous Layer

I published in the 'Lancet' of the 14th of February of this year a paper entitled "On the Lymphatic System of the Cornea," in which I endeavoured to show that the canals in that structure in which the nerves lie communicate with the lacunæ, that the straight canals and lacunæ are connected by means of a continuous layer of flat cells, the margins of which are indicated by the well-known action of nitrate of silver, and that these cells are not the anastomosing so-called cornea-corpuscles, but that the flat cells line the lacuna, while the branched cells fill the cavity. I have lately undertaken a series of further investigations on the same subject.
