Read at the Royal Society of Edinburgh on the 3Oth March. After referring to the labours of those anatomists who had verified Malpighi's doctrine of the follicular nature of gland ducts, the author alluded to Parkinje's hypo1 The Report of this Society we are unable to give in continuation of that in a former number, but we hope to do so in our next. 1842.] MEDICAL NEWS. 477 thesis of the secreting function of the nucleated corpuscles which line these ducts. In a rapid sketch of the results of inquiries since the appearance of Miiller's work \" De Penitiore Structura Glandularum,\" and more particularly of the observations of Henle and others on the closed vesicles which are situated at the extremities of certain ducts, Mr Goodsir stated, that no anatomist had hitherto \" proved that secretion takes place within the primitive nucleated cell itself, or had pointed out the intimate nature of the changes which go on in a secreting organ during the performance of its function.\" Numerous examples were now given of secretions detected in the cavities of nucleated cells of various glands and secreting surfaces. Among these secretions were the ink of the cephalopoda and the purple of janthina and aplysia; bile in an extensive series selected from the principal divisions of the animal kingdom; urine in the mollusk; milk, &c. The wall is believed by the author to be the part of the cell engaged in the process of secretion. The cavity contains the secreted substance, and the nucleus \"is the reproductive organ of the cell. A primitive cell engaged in secretion is denominated, by the author, a primary secreting cell; and each cell of this kind is endowed with its own peculiar property, according to the organ in which it is situated. The discovery of the secreting agency of the primitive cell does not remove the principal mystery in which the function has always been involved; but the general fact that the primitive cell is the ultimate secreting structure, is of great value in physiological science, inasmuch as it connects secretion with growth as functions regulated by the same laws, and explains one of the greatest difficulties in physiology, viz. why a secretion flows from the free surface only of a secreting membrane?the secretion exists only on the free surface inclosed in the ripe cells which constitute that surface. The author then proceeded to the consideration of the origin, the development, and the disappearance of the primary secreting cell, a subject which necessarily involved the description of the various minute arrangements of glands, and other secreting organs. After describing the changes which occur in the testicle of the squalus comubicus, when the organ is in a state of functional activity, and in the liver of careinus maenas, it was stated that these were selected as examples of two orders of glands, denominated by the author vesicular and follicular","PeriodicalId":192927,"journal":{"name":"London and Edinburgh Monthly Journal of Medical Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1842-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128438283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hemorrhage from the vagina in old women.?Mr Dendy related the case of a lady about 80 years of age, of previous good health, who some months ago found her night-gown saturated with blood, which had proceeded from the vagina. The patient, fancying the discharge to be menstrual, took violent exercise in order to promote it. The blood coagulated, and continued to discharge for three months. Soon after this the patient came under the care of Mr Dendy, who prescribed cold cloths to the vagina, acids, and the recumbent posture. She has unproved considerably under this treatment, but the discharge has not altogether abated. On examination per vaginam, a soft fungoid mass situated about the os uteri was perceived, and when this was touched, no pain was felt, but the discharge of blood immediately increased. Dr Chowne remarked, that hemorrhage from the vagina was not uncommon in old women. The veins of the vagina occasionally became varicose. It was difficult to distinguish between coagula and fungoid growths in the vagina. The speculum should be used.","PeriodicalId":192927,"journal":{"name":"London and Edinburgh Monthly Journal of Medical Science","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1842-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114872915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
