The relation of gastric function to the chemical composition of the blood

Iron

“…Sple¬ nomegaly is often complicated by hypersplenism; while the iron supersaturation assures an immediate compensatory erythropoiesis, leukopenia and thrombopenia are rather frequent. 7 More recently edathamil has been pro¬ posed in the therapy of the diseases due to an iron overload. Given as its disodium salt, it combines with iron into nonionized com¬ plexes that are excreted by the kidneys.…”

The gastric secretions in experimental hypochloraemia

“…In the literature, changes in the plasma chloride level and alterations in acidbase equilibrium have received most attention in this 'respect. Thus, Apperly & Crabtree [1931], as a result of experiments on nine healthy men, state that the total amount of hydrochloric acid secreted by the stomach is proportional to the amount of C02 dissolved in the plasma, whereas the concentration of the acid is determined by the plasma bicarbonate. They do not give simultaneous values for plasma or whole blood chlorides.…”
