Varices su tratamiento basado en la flebografia

This book by Dr. F. Martorell, Chief of the Vascular Surgery LXvision of the Polyclinic Institute of Barcelona, is an exhaustive attempt at a precise diagnosis of the varicosities of the lower extremities by phiebography. The author devotes two chapters to the elemental facts of the venous circulation in the lower extremities. The differential diagnosis of varices is contained in the second part of the book. The Trendelenburg phenomenon, Perthes, Ochsner and Mahorner, and Pratt tests are discussed and compared with the author’s own method. The other methods are too inexact, and this is the reason why Dr. Martorell has developed phlebograms to such a high An exact visualization of the insufficient communicating veins gives the degree of efficiency. localization for ligation, shortens the operation, avoids useless and dangerous ligations, and permits ambulatory treatment of all patients, thus minimizing the chance of embolization. The book is amply illustrated with diagrams and photographs. It deserves study in the English speaking medical world. BERNARD E. NUNEZ, M.D. TENSION ARTERIAL 27 charts.

The author studied the possible correlation between arterial blood pressure and physical constitution. S-even hundred nine persons of both sexes between 14 and 22 ?rears of age were studied. The macrosplanrhnic t!rpe showed the greatebt percentage of readings above 140 mm. Hg systolic, while the normosphlanchnic t!.pe presented such readings more often than the microsplanchnic. Tall persons usually have a higher blood pressure than persons of average height, but smaller individuals may also have higher than normal figures. The microsplanchnic t\-pe presents a Io\c.cr tliastolic pressure than the normal type while the macrosplanchnic type presents a higher diastolic pressure than the normal. Pulse pressure was larger in marrosplanchnic men and in normal women than in the other types. In conclusion, a definite relationship between body structure and blood pressure is suggested, even if the difference between the observed ligures is not striking. A. LrJISADA, M.D.
