No. 11, p. 647).Schmorl, who discovered pulmonary artery embolism with cells later, identified this phenomenon as the cause of eclampsia in pregnant women. Lubarsch considered embolism as a consequence of all sorts of seizures in pregnant women. Kasyanov, who found embolism in all pregnant women, suggested that this is a physiological phenomenon that occurs during every pregnancy. The author studied the lungs in 40 pregnant rabbits and was convinced that, under normal conditions, the rabbit does not have pulmonary embolism with shorts after.
