Springfield:: Charles C Thomas, 1947., 1947. 8vo. xix, [1], 187, [1] pp. 83 figs., index. Blue gilt-stamped cloth; heavily rubbed at extremities. Bookplate of Yale Medical Library (withdrawn). Book review tipped-in at rear. First edition. ?In studying the anurias which follow injury, especially crushing injuries and burns, Trueta's team demonstrated that both the processes of filtration and of re-absorption are subject to nervous control, leading to the development of a more rational therapy for these conditions.? - Garrison and Morton 1245. / Of Barclay: ?When in 1936 Cambridge University decided to abolish all diplomas Barclay transferred his allegiance to Oxford as a lecturer in the Nuffield Institute for Medical Research. Here he co-operated with a team which included K. J. Franklin, Sir Joseph Barcroft, J. Trueta, P. M. Daniel and M. M. L. Prichard, in a series of brilliant researches.? / ?He studied the method of dust excretion from the lungs and the mechanism of closure of the ductus arteriosus in the foetal sheep by cine-radiography. In 1945 he described, in collaboration with Franklin, Trueta, Daniel and Prichard, the vascular shunt in the kidney, whereby, in response to various stimuli, the renal blood flow is diverted from its normal course through the cortex and short-circuited through the subcortical plexus to the renal veins.? - Royal College of Physicians.
