There has, moreover, not been found any attempt to differentiate the gastric secretions in rheumatoid arthritis from those in osteoarthritis, although the present day division of arthritis into these two great groups would seem to make such a distinction of importance.The object of this study was three-fold: to determine the gastric acidity in chronic arthritis by...Bibliography1.
