Prenatal growth of the human spinal cord
Authors:   , Miller Max Mayo
Published: April 2021

Text is the complete Introduction section of this thesis: In human embryology the changes in form and the histological differentiation in the cellular elements of the spinal cord have been studied very carefully. But as yet little has been done on the absolute and relative prenatal growth of the cords a whole and of its various regions and parts. To throw light upon this matter the present study was undertaken. Measurements were made of the spinal cords of human embryos which show the absolute and relative growth of the spinal cord as a whole and of its various parts. The data here presented include: First, the absolute and relative growth of the spinal cord in its entirety; second, the absolute and relative amounts and the rate of growth of the different regions of the cord; and third, the absolute and relative amounts and the rate of growth of the gray matter, the white matter and the ependyma with the canal. This investigation was carried on in the Anatomical Laboratory of the University of Missouri, under the direction of Prof. C. M. Jackson, to whom I am also indebted for the use of his collection of human embryos.

The development of the fruit tree as influenced by the season of transplanting
Authors:   , Jesseman Leroy Dexter
Published: April 2021

There seems to be a conflict of opinion as to that part of the dormant season in which fruit trees may be transplanted with the greatest assurance of success. There is perhaps not a month from October to May that has not been suggested by some writers as the best time to transplant. Some suggest early fall as soon as the leaves begin to be shed; others late fall, after the trees have ripened their tissues; even mid-Winter, when the trees are in the midst of their resting period, is recommended; many advise early spring, just as the buds are beginning to swell; and still others suggest holding the trees until late spring, when soil conditions may be more favorable for root growth. Since no common agreement seems to have been reached, it is of interest to review and attempt to harmonize existing opinions and to compare resUlts obtained at the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station with those obtained elsewhere.

Geology and Mineralogy of the Wellington Mine, Breckenridge, Summit County, Colorado
Authors:   , Longwell Chester R.
Published: April 2021

Text from page 3: This paper is based on work done during the summer of 1915, while the writer was a member of a field party, engaged in geological work in the vicinity of Breckenridge, Colorado. Through the kindness of Mr. R. M. Henderson, manager of the Wellington Mines Company's property, permission was secured to examine the underground workings of the Wellington mine, the most important zinc-lead mine in the Breckenridge district. Plans showing the location of the principal drifts and stopes were furnished by Mr. Henderson, and, with these maps as guides, the writer made quite a thorough survey of the workings, determining, as far as possible, the geology and mineralogy of the mine. Many specimens of the country rock and the minerals were secured, and intensive study was made of them in the laboratory during the past winter.
The coloring matter in fat from cow's milk
Authors:   , Palmer Leroy Sheldon
Published: April 2021

Text from page 1: The great variety of coloring matters that exist throughout the entire plant and animal kingdoms have long been of interest to scientists. From the standpoint of both the chemist and the physiologist a great deal of investigation has been carried on to determine the chemical constitution, the cause, and the function of these various pigments. To greatly increase the interest in this work it has been discovered within the last few years that a definite relationship exists between a number of the animal and vegetable pigments.

The psychology of the Negro
Authors:   , Waltner Erma
Published: April 2021

Text from introduction: Though the term "race psychology" has been in use, for some years, the amount of scientific evidence of the existence of racial differences in mentality is very small. In America, where so many races meet and contribute to the national life, there is a special need for accurate knowledge of any racial differences that may exist in mental capacity, in temperament, or in physical development. In the experimental study which is here reported, we have attempted to make some slight contribution to our knowledge of the physical development and mental capacity of negro children.
Investigation of the stretch moduli

Text from page 15: Professor E. R. Hedrick, after plotting numerous curves from data obtained by the Watertown Arsenal, on testing strength of materials, found that in a great many determinations of the relation of the stress to the strain Hooke's Law was not always followed. This deviation from a direct proportion led Professor Hedrick to suggest an exponential function as best representing the relation between the stress and the strain.

Browning and the Florentine Renaissance
Authors:   , Major Mabel Irmyn
Published: April 2021

There seem to me to be three distinct causes why Florence rather than any of the other city states was the center of the Italian Renaissance. The first of these is that she preserved her popular government long enough to develop initiative and the spirit of freedom in her citizens; second, she enjoyed a great commercial prosperity; and third, and perhaps most important, she was so fortunate as to have, until almost the middle of the siXteenth century, despots who governed with almost unprecedented justice and who were the most liberal patrons of art in all Italy.

An investigation of the movement of water and petroleum through rock under high pressure
Authors:   , Kelley Ward Wesley
Published: April 2021

... Then working upon the problems of underground water supply, ore deposits, and petroleum accumulations, the lack of definite informatlon regarding the laws which govern the movement of liquids through the rocks making up the earth's crust is a great stumbling block to investigation. In the fall of 1916 the writer undertook to study the laws which govern the movement of water and petroleum through rocks with conditions of pressure as nearly as possible like those deep in the earth.
Some phases of narrative art
Authors:   , Rusk Edna Glyde
Published: April 2021

Text from page 76: "The progress of narrative art, especially in its relation to naturalism, has been traced. Though it cannot be maintained that narrative art is characteristic cf naturalistic periods, it has been shown that naturalism is favorable to the development of such a style. The scarcity of narration in the present period of naturalistic tendenocies is due, probably, to two reasons: the presence of interests other than the human element, which must dominate narrative art, and the symbolical and allegorical treatment of the human element when it is retained by the modern artist."

Sein Leben. An 30. Dezember 1819 wurde Theodor Fontene als altester sohn einer franzcsischen Kolonistenfamilie in der kleinen Ostseestadt Neu-Puppin gerboren. Sein Vater, "ein grosser stattlicher Gascogner voll Bonhomie, dabei Phantast und Hunorist, Plauderer und Geschichtenerzahler, war eine ganz urgeschaftliche Natur, und aberliess sich, ohne seiner doch immer nur bescheidenen Mittel eingedenk zu sein, der Pflage nobler Passionen. Des Solmes fruher Uterricht wurde von ihm geleitet, und der sokratischen Methode und der sich daran anknupfenden Gesprache erinnert sich Fontane mit Freude und Dank. Dabei war der Vater eifriger Journal -- und Zeitungsleser und sein Wissen in franzosiscken Kriegs -- und Personalanekdoten war stupend. "Diese Geschitchten sind mir hundertfach zu gute gekommen, auch bein meinen Schreibereion warer sie mir immer wie ein Schatzkastlein zur Hand".
First year reading
Authors:   , Thompson Frank F.
Published: April 2021

This thesis will concern itself with first year reading, and it will have the following aims: 1. To examine the subject matter of first year reading in order to see what values the literature presuppose the child capable of controlling and appreciating, to find a criterion for selecting subject matter for first year reading, and to criticize the values found in first year reading in view of the standard set up. 2. To consider the methods of mastering the symbols; to try to find the most natural method of approach and of strongest motivation; and to outline the steps by which the symbols may be mastered in their functional connection with the reading experience. 3. To study the nature of the child and how he assimilates the author's experience by means of reconstructing his own; to make a limited survey of recent experiments in the psychology of reading and to note some of its implications as to first year reading. 4. To consider the body and voice as the mechanism for the expression of the values of the writer to others and to indicate how these are trained for effective expression. 5. To consider the part the audience plays in teaching to read and to suggest some plans by which this much neglected element in effective oral reading may be secured.

The origins of the liberal Republican movement in Missouri
Authors:   , Barclay Thomas S. (Thomas Swain)
Published: April 2021

"Thus, the years from 1860 to 1865 saw the downfall of the old political organizations, the triumph of the Unionists, their split over the emancipation question, into Radicals and Conservatives, the victory of the Conservatives, aided by Lincoln, and later in the war, the gradual tendency toward more radical measures. The Radical Convention of protest in September 1863 well voiced the sentiments of the party which was to rule Missouri. The death of Governor Gamble in 1864, and the absence from the state of the other Conservative leader, General Blair, saw the extremists, under aggressive leadership, secure control of the State, a control which they were able to maintain for over five years."
The theory of the social forces
Authors:   , Hickman Thomas Sylvester
Published: April 2021

Text from page 1: "Professor Ross has well said that "the corner stone of sociology must be a sound doctrine of the social (1) forces." While this is true sociologists seem to be at loggerheads when it comes to making a statement of "the social forces". In purely scientific terms, "force", in the sense of the sufficient cause of phenomena, physical or social, may be a misnomer; but, if by "social forces" we mean "the active factors in association", the expression may be allowed to stand for (2) want of a better term. Indeed, the term "force" is commonly applied and used in the physical sciences, and has been taken over by the social sciences as well. Since this is true, we will use the term "social forces" as equivalent to "the active factors in association", in our attempt to state what is basic in a scientific discussion of social life and institutions."

The growing power of the governor
Authors:   , Holloway Daniel Heber
Published: April 2021

Text from page 29: "The tendency toward a decline in the power and position of the legislature and a corresponding enhancement of that of the executive is one which has been widely observed and commented upon. Probably so single tendency is so evident or so important in modern government. There has, however, as yet been no detailed study of the process by which this transformation has taken or is taking place. It is a general tendency which may be observed in the government of all countries, yet the statutory and constitutional changes which reflect the changes which it has produced and is producing toward this general purpose it is the object of this essay to attempt to trace the development of the power of the executive in Missouri since the beginning of the state's history. It has been possible in this study only to follow the growth of the governor's power as it is exhibited in the constitutions, constitutional amendments and statutes. And this, because of limitations of time, has not been pursued farther than through the constitution of 1875."
Foreign exchange and foreign banking of America as it is related to American business

Published: April 2021

"The purpose of this thesis is to investigate our present system of foreign banking and exchange and to discuss its relations to American business. I propose in Chapter I to outline the situation that confronted us at the beginning of 1914, including banking provisions that aided or hindered us in our foreign exchange, and instruments of exchange that were used. In Chapter II I will take up the provisions of the Federal Reserve Act that relate to foreign trade and discuss their potency for giving us greater facilities and privileges and therefore greater opportunity in the foreign exchange field. In my third chapter I will deal with the effects of the present war on the exchange situation and will use our present relations with South America to illustrate the effects. The conclusion will be a summation of the present situation and a discussion of the possibilities for using the factors in hand to the advantage of American business in the future."
Generalizations of theorems from the Theory of Functions
Authors:   , Spalding Julia
Published: April 2021

Text from introduction: "Practically all of the text books and lectures on the Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable treat only those functions which have a derivative in every point of some given region. This derivative must be independent of the direction in which the increment of the variable is taken. Functions which have this property are called analytic functions of a complex variable. In some cases these are called simply functions, the non analytic functions not being considered functions at all."

Every biographer and critic of Ruskin refers to the relation which existed between the two men; all mention especially Ruskin's admiration and respect for Carlyle. But no detailed study of the relationship of these two writers has yet been made; no considerable attempt has been made to determine definitely what Carlyle contributed to the ideas of Ruskin; no investigation has been made of the character and extent of the influence of the one upon the other. This study is not comprehensive; it is restricted and limited. It proposes to determine where, how, and to what extent Carlyle influenced the social ideas of Ruskin between 1860 and 1884."

Comparative rankings of normal school graduates and full course university students in the School of Education
Authors:   , Wiley James Alvin
Published: April 2021

There has been much difference of opinion as to which group of students ranks higher in university scholarship---those who enter the School of Education as normal school graduates or those who spend full four years on the college course in Missouri University before graduation from the School of Education. Even when it is assumed that normal school graduates rank higher, the causes for such higher ranking are variously stated. It is argued that normal school graduates are older and more mature and hence have the advantage over regular graduates; that normal school graduates take a greater percent of Education courses in which higher grades are usually given than in academic courses; that normal school graduates take mostly Under Class work; that normal school graduates have had much more teaching experience and should therefore be expected to rank higher in Education courses. It is the purpose of this study to bring together facts and draw conclusions touching the above claims.

The effect of home and commercial laundering upon the wearing quality of ginghams and similar fabrics and the reliability of the consumer's judgement in the selection of these fabrics
Authors:   , Johnson Cleora Eleanor
Published: April 2021

The laundering of clothing and household articles is an ever present necessity of the homemaker. In the past, practically all of the laundry work was done in the home and generally by the housewife herself. The time came when this task was gradually transferred to a laudress or to a commercial laundry. Paralleling the trend toward commercial laundries, the invention of labor saving devices, such as power washers, irons, and mangles, has again made laundering an important home task.
The teaching of community civics
Authors:   , Oppenheimer Julius John
Published: April 2021

Text taken from page ii: "This thesis is the outgrowth of a feeling that our present day civics is, in a large measure, inadequate to the needs of our citizenship. During my four years' experience in teaching civics in high school I had a growing conviction that the traditional civic instruction did not meet the interests of the high school students and certainly did not help them in any positive way to fully appreciate their civic obligations and opportunities. High school students complained that civics was hard and uninteresting. I realized the problem end endeavored to remedy conditions. Better results came by making a closer study of local problems and by introducing the study of current events. The subject was still almost wholly a study of the political agencies. The interest which was taken in the study of current events and the interest which was shown in a brief course in sociology brought to me the importance of greater study of social conditions."

The dynamics of spiral banding in a symmetric vortex with vertical shear
Authors:   , Sher Michael Stephen
Published: April 2021

Spiral rain bands in tropical cyclones were revealed by Wexler (1947) through analysis of radar observations, and many investigators have directed their attention to them. The bands may now be easily observed through the use of radar (figure 1) and Tiros photographs. However, the mechanism responsible for this frequently observed phenomena is not as yet fully understood. As a possible mechanism for the formation of the spiral bands, Haurwitz (1947), Wexler (1947) and Kuettner (1959) have suggested elongation of convection cells in the tangential direction by vertical wind shear. Further studies are needed to establish this hypothesis, since there is as yet no clear evidence for the existence of Bernard cells in tropical cyclones. Tepper (1958) proposed a hypothesis of internal gravity waves. However, a necessary condition for the existence of gravity waves is an inversion layer which has not been observed in tropical cyclones, except in the eye. Thus, although the entire depth of the fluid may be subject to banded disturbances, the origin and energy source for these disturbances is restricted to those layers with marked vertical shear of the undisturbed flow, principally the Ekman layer. In the case of the atmosphere, moist air in the Ekman layer may be lifted by the periodic vertical motion field to its lifting condensation level becoming visible upon condensation in the form of spiral clouds and rain bands. The release of latent heat in the regions of maximum lifting should serve to increase the vertical motion in these bands and accentuate the upward propagation of the disturbances into the otherwise undisturbed layers above. Arons' observations and Stern's theoretical findings strongly suggest that the vertical shear in the Ekman layer is the dynamical mechanism for instability in the vertical motion field, which may manifest itself in the form of periodic motion in the radial direction. One might even suggest that without the presence of shear the banded structure might not arise. It was these findings and considerations that led the present author to re-examine Yamamoto's work and attempt to retain the vertical shear terms rather than consider only the case of zero shear as did Yamamoto.--Introduction.
The effects of stress upon erythrocyte resistance in pedigree clean, known carrier and dwarf beef cattle
Authors:   , Johnson Arthur Guy
Published: April 2021

"Has the fight against beef cattle dwarfism progressed? Are methods now available whereby the breeder can enjoy a "dwarf-free" production program? These questions are examples of those frequently encountered by the animal husbandry scientist who is engaged in the ever growing battle against this problem. Although increased numbers of inquiries are comforting in one sense they are not uncommon when a situation reaches the magnitude now assigned to dwarfism . It is through reference the them, however, that a portion of the expanding concern over this problem can be pictured and the expressed desire for established facts should be looked upon with favor. While the above type of enthusiasm steams from various sources additional and more specific interests can be illustrated by noting the enlarged efforts of many universities and independent research firms, and the increased willingness of many breeders to supply animals for experimental purposes."--Introduction.

Published: April 2021

"A purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the various local markets in reflecting to cotton producers the average price level prevailing for cotton, and in reflecting central market premiums and discounts in accordance with variation in quality. Anther purpose will be to determine if hog-round buying, paying only one price for all qualities, is used to purchase the producer's products. In the event that cotton is not sold on the quality basis and hog-round buying prevails in the local market, the purpose is to resolve if this type of buying or buying based on quality gives the greatest advantage to the cotton producer. An additional purpose is to evaluate the economic significance of these practices and suggest possible improvements, if any are needed, in the marketing structure."--Page 1-2

"The major effect of the barbiturates is depression of the central nervous system, but the way in which these drugs exert their effect is not yet well understood...As the biochemical functions of the cell and its various parts become better understood, it is of interest to relate the actions of t a drug to some particular function (Reiner and Gellhorn, 1956). If it were found that barbiturate were localized by a particular cellular component, this might mean that its effect was rendered through some function of that particular component. Consequently, this study was undertaken to determine the intracellular distribution of a particular barbiturate, pentobarbital sodium, within rat brain cells."--Introduction

Published: April 2021

The design, construction, and operation of an electronically controlled expansion cloud chamber to detect soft showers produced by mu-mesons is described. The cloud chamber is sued in conjunction with a Geiger-tube telescope and electronic energy-selecting trigger set for measuring the intensity of high-energy mu-mesons as a function of angle measured from the vertical direction.
Conodonts from isolated Devonian outcrops
Authors:   , Smoot Virginia B.
Published: April 2021

Shales, sandy shales, and sandstones were sampled from isolated outcrops at Sulphur Springs and at Coal Hollow in Ste. Genevieve County. An attempt was made to find the answers to the following questions: (1) Can the boundary between the Devonian and the Mississippian be located at these localities by determining the distribution of conodonts? (2) Are there faunal difference between the concodonts in the Devonian part of the section? (3) Are there differences between the conodonts of the sandstones and the sandy shales that may be interpreted as environmental responses? (4) What other formation or formations do the conodonts of these two Devonian sections or parts of these sections suggest as time equivalents? It was concluded the boundary can be located in each of these localities. It was also concluded that there are no faunal differences in the Devonian part of the Ste. Genevieve County section or between the sandstones and shales that could not be interpreted as the result of factors which could not be controlled in the present study. Other formations or sections suggested as time equivalents to the Ste. Genevieve County section are the sandstone facies of the Eureka shale, the Sees Creek section, and the "Grassy Creek" group, as defined in this paper. Owing to the lack of conodonts in the Sulpur Springs samples, no similar conclusions were drawn concerning this locality.

The Cid in history and fiction
Authors:   , Ricks Melvin Byron
Published: April 2021

Antonio de Trueba has remarked that the adventures of the Cid have been increasing in magnitude, as century after century rolls by, in much the same manner in which the bulk of a snowball is augmented a s it tumbles down the slope of a hill. So greatly does the Cid of tradition differ from the Cid of reality that the very name of this Spanish national hero has come to be associated much less with the idea of a flesh-and-blood warrior of the eleventh century than it is with a purely abstract conception of virtue and patriotism. That is to say, the Cid is more symbolic than human; his name is to the Spaniard what patriay libertad is to the Cuban; his character is the embodiment of Spanish ideals of courageous loyalty to one's country, and serves as a perfect model which the patriotic Spanish youth is expected to imitate. It is obvious that man in the concrete can never have approached this almost divine state of perfection; this model Cid is the product of poets, troubadours, and indulgent historians, all of whom were ambitious to cast the maximum amount of glory about their national hero. Regarding the sub...--Introduction.
Place names in the central counties of Missouri
Authors:   , Pace Nadine
Published: April 2021

This study is an attempt to determine, while the sources are yet available, the origin of the. names of the towns, streams, country schools, and townships of the following central counties of Missouri: Boone, Callaway, Cole, Cooper, Howard, Moniteau, and Saline; to record the circumstances under which the names were given; and to note the subsequent history of the names. These counties belong to the group that Dr. Raymond Weeks describes as those counties that â€œlie strung along the Missouri River like a string of sausages.â€ Although these counties are not the same topogTaphically they were settled, for the most part, by the same kind of people and are therefore a homogeneous group. The counties of Howard, Cooper, Boone, and the southern half of Callaway comprise the original "Boone's Lick" country. However, the tendency, in the early days, was to think of the â€œBoone's Lickâ€ country as containing the territory lying between the district of St. Charles, perhaps west of the Gasconade River, and Independence. The term was used in a very broad sense. In the present study the term "Boone's Lickâ€ will include only the seven counties mentioned. --Page1.
The Civil War experiences of General M. Jeff Thompson in 1861
Authors:   , Westover John Glendower
Published: April 2021

"Only the first year of Jeff Thompson's account of his Civil War experiences is included in this study. His reminiscences, however, run from January 1, 1861, to June 6, 1865, covering his military career in considerable detail. The year 1861 was selected for detailed study because by checking the accuracy of one section against the official record, the validity of the whole document can likely be determined. Also by close study of a part, an estimate can be made of the value of the whole document as an instrument of historical research. While Thompson's reminiscences check very well with the official records, they still contribute material which cannot be located in the official records. The official records concentrate on operations, orders, and correspondence but usually omit organization, discipline of troops, elections of officers, and "off the record" material of various types. The entire manuscript is divided into five parts, each covering a single year of the war. 1861 is the one best suited for a detailed study because it is the most self-contained unit, includes more material on the organization and administration of irregular Confederate troops, and is the year when Thompson was most active from a military standpoint...

The pronunciation of Missouri place-names
Authors:   , Picinich Donald George
Published: April 2021

With the current nationwide acceptance of the daily newscast as an integral part of American Journalism, radio news editors have become increasingly aware in recent years of the importance in having their newscasters pronounce a local place-name in the usual manner of the educated speakers of that locality whenever a questionable name must be included in a â€˜cast. The major news services which offer their clients teletype news written especially for radio already have helped the newsman in sending out over their wires a daily pronunciation guide on the most difficult national and international names. These lists, both proper and place names, have their usual pronunciation indicated in a simplified phonetic key alongside each name. They serve a useful purpose in the radio news script, as far as they go. Unfortunately, the press services leave the matter of local pronunciation verification almost wholly up to each station itself, thinking that the station is in the best position to verify the usual place-name pronunciations in its own locality. This assumption, perhaps reasonable in theory, often falls short in practice, since in many cases station personnel makes minimum effort to check, first-hand, the usual local pronunciations. In some states, however, this situation has been alleviated in large measure by state university investigations of the usual local place-name pronunciations. To date, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and South Dakota have completed place-name pronunciation guides which are being used successfully by broadcasters in those states and throughout the nation. Other states, including Indiana and Florida, among others, presently are engaged in such investigations, while some other states plan to begin such projects in the near future~ Missouri radio men, long award of the need for such a guide in this state, on numerous occasions have requested that the School of Journalism undertake such an investigation. In an effort to satisfy these needs, this study was begun. No attempt is made in this investigation to establish a final, infallible authority for every Missouri name listed. Rather, this project was undertaken to offer Missouri radio men and other interested persons a centralized source for verifying usual place-name pronunciations, based on the findings of this study. This investigation was not made with a view toward making it a clinical, study in phonetics or a scientific investigation of Missouri speech patterns or dialects. By recommending each pronunciation in both the International Phonetic Alphabet symbols and a simplified respelling key in the thesis and guide booklet, an attempt has been made to satisfy scholars and laymen alike. It is hoped that in offering two keys in the booklet, the user will have the opportunity of verifying a pronunciation twice, the one key reinforcing the other, so to speak.--Preface.
Terapia mínimamente invasiva para el manejo de un hematoma subcapsular hepático en un recién nacido

Published: April 2021

Objetivo: Describir una alternativa innovadora a la laparotomía exploradora en un recién nacido con un hematoma hepático subcapsular secundario a la inserción de un catéter venoso umbilical.Caso Clínico: Paciente de pretérmino con antecedentes de enfermedad de membrana hialina, hipertensión pulmonar y ductus arterioso persistente amplio, que requirió ventilación mecánica y uso de drogas vasoactivas. Se instalaron catéteres umbilicales, fueron controlados con radiografía de abdomen anteroposterior, en la que impresionaron estar adecuadamente posicionados. Evolucionó con mayor requerimiento de drogas vasoactivas, palidez de pared abdominal y distensión abdominal. Bajo ecografía se diagnosticó un hematoma hepático subcapsular contenido, sin signos de sangrado activo, por lo que se decidió conducta expectante. Aumentó requerimiento de drogas vasoactivas y presentó caída de hematocrito. La ecografía de control encontró un hematoma subcapsular de mayor tamaño, abundante liquido perihepático y se confirmó la posición intraparenquimatosa de la punta del catéter umbilical. Se realizó embolización endovascular a través del catéter umbilical con Gelita®, logrando oclusión del trayecto capsular. La ecografía de control mostró disminución del hematoma.Conclusiones: El uso de embolización por angiografía no es comúnmente utilizado en urgencias pediátricas. Es un procedimiento con menos comorbilidades y complicaciones que la laparotomía exploradora, por lo que debería ser una terapia de primera línea en pacientes como el presentado. Las limitaciones para su realización rutinaria son la disponibilidad de pabellón de angiografía y la presencia de un equipo entrenado de radiología intervencionista.
