La vascularisation artérielle du testicule chez le cheval

The arterial pattern of 134 horse testicles has been studied from different methods. The testicle was supplied by a single testicular artery in 79,10% of the cases. The division into two branches before entry into the organ was seen in 17,16% of the cases. The other testicles studied were supplied by three separate branches all originating from the extratesticular part of the testicular artery. Different connections of variable importance exist mainly between the vessels supplying the epididymis and the mesorchium (deferential artery and branches of testicular artery) and the significant arteries of the testicle.     

The estimation of egg weight from egg gradings

A method is described for the estimation of mean egg weight from data giving the proportions of eggs in different weight grades. Tables are presented in which mean egg weights have been calculated for a range of grading figures, using both the British Egg Marketing Board and the European Economic Community grading systems.     

The biologic effects of bacterial endotoxin: A short review

This short reveiw considers some of the more widely accepted biological actions of bacterial endotoxin. Early sections concern endotoxin chemical composition, assay techniques, and species variation in toxigenicity. Individual specific actions and classical endotoxin-induced phenomena are presented under headings of pyrogenic effect, hemodynamic effects, disseminated intravascular coagulation, complement system effects, induction of the generalized Shwartzman reaction, effects upon cellular constituents of blood, metabolic and endocrinologic effects, immunologic effects, nervous system effects, hepatic effects, and abortifacient action. The relationship of these effects to clinical manifestations is discussed where warranted.
