Disseminated Focal Pneumonia

“…In a few instances only has confirmation of the simple pneumonic nature of these shadows been obtained by necropsy (Assmann, 1934;Oberndorfer, 1928;Peschel, 1930). A " miliary bronchopneumonic" type of influenzal pneumonia has been described (Liebmann and Schintz, 1921;Eimer and Kestermann, 1931).…”

Coarctation of the Aorta

“…The outline of its left border is convex laterally (Schatzki and Hallermann, 1930;Assmann, 1934), and it has been suggested that this is caused by an aneurysmal widening of the pre-stenotic part of the aorta or of the origin of one of the great vessels (Schatzki and Hallermann, 1930). In one case it was found to be produced by the widened origin of the left subclavian artery (Assmann, 1934). The widened left subclavian artery produces a marked impression on the oesophagus (Shanks and others, 1938).…”

Early Diagnosis of Rheumatic Valvular Disease in Recruits

“…Apart from a high diaphragm, there are other causes for backward displacement of the cesophagus, for instance, complete heart block (Babey, 1937), pericardial effusion, or patent ductus arteriosus (Donovan et al, 1943). The question as to whether or not the left auricle may enlarge in long-standing auricular fibrillation without mitral stenosis is a matter of opinion; to us it seems probable, but to a limited degree (Babey, 1937;Palmer, 1937). Enlargement of this chamber also occurs in the heart of thyrotoxicosis, but it is more a part of a general enlargement of all chambers.…”
