This is undoubtedly due to at least two factors: the rapidly increasing interest in hematology which followed the discovery of the value of liver in pernicious anemia, and the increasing recognition that the so-called "blood diseases" are in reality disorders of the blood-forming organs, more particularly of the bone-marrow. Biopsy of the sternal marrow, introduced by Seyfarth1in 1923, rapidly displaced the much more difficult biopsy of the tibia which was practised by Zadek,2Peabody,3and a few others. The diagnostic value of the...Bibliography1. SEYFARTH C: Diagnostic trephination of the sternum, Deutsch. med. Wchnschr., 1923, xlix, 180-181. CrossrefGoogle Scholar2.
