A new specialty has developed which was hardly dreamed of three or four years ago—a specialty dealing with diseases of the blood vessels.In our textbooks the subject of these diseases, particularly insofar as it concerns the arteries, is dealt with largely as static—uninterestingly and briefly. But within an unbelievably short space of time, disease of the blood vessels has become a dynamic, active branch of medicine with a rapidly growing literature of its own. Some may decry such intensive specialization in medicine,...Bibliography1. MILLER WS: Thomas Willis (1621-1675), Bull. Soc. Med. History of Chicago, 1923-1925, iii, 215-232. Google Scholar2.

"These small lines and cords of nerves do variously straighten, compress, or it may be sometimes quite shut these blood-carrying vessels" by acting on the muscular coat of the vessels to which they are distributed.1 PreviousarticleNextarticle Advertisement FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Metrics 1 March 1935Volume 8, Issue 9Page: 1047-1061KeywordsArteriesBlood vesselsGraduate medical educationNerves ePublished: 1 December 2008 Issue Published: 1 March 1935 PDF downloadLoading ...
