An interesting case of this kind has recently come under our care, and we wish to report on the studies we have been led to undertake on this account.Before one can understand the orthostatic diseases, it is necessary to be acquainted with the normal regulatory mechanism which comes into operation when a person assumes the erect posture after lying down.The immediate result of this...Bibliography1.
