This has been especially true as regards the description of changes in the circulatory system. No doubt this has been to a large extent due to the preoccupation of the various workers with the psychic rather than physical changes undergone by the patients, during and after the course of insulin "shock." Also Sakel has specifically...Bibliography1. WEICHMANNKOCH EF: The condition of the circulation in the hypoglycemic state, Deutsch. Arch. f. klin. Med., 1929, clxiii, 176. Google Scholar2.
