Notable contributions to the scientific knowledge of the cytology of bone marrow obtained in this way from patients with various diseases have been made by Arinkin,2Nordenson,3Segerdahl,4Young and Osgood,5Vogel, Erf and Rosenthal,6Jones,7Scott,8and others. Most of the punctures reported in the literature have been made for the scientific study of diseases of the hematopoietic system. There are many reports of cases in which the diagnosis was arrived at solely by means of the sternal puncture, but no mention...Bibliography1.
