Pàgina 76 - One canal can therefore, on this supposition, be affected by, and transmit the sensation of rotation about one axis in one direction only, and for complete perception of rotation in. any direction about any axis six semicircular canals are required, in three pairs, each pair having its two canals parallel (or in the same plane) and with their ampullae turned opposite ways.
Pàgina 7 - Wunderlich's treatise, quotes cases observed by Drs. Finlayson, Da Costa, and EB Baxter, and adds : ' The few observations I have myself made of carcinoma of the liver, uterus, and breast, before marasmus had set in. only show very slight elevations of temperature, or none at all ; never above 101° Fahr. unless from some complication ; whilst I have found subnormal temperatures with rapid pulse in several cases of advanced cancer with emaciation.
Pàgina 75 - ... if the rotation be then stopped, he experiences the sensation of rotation about the same axis in the opposite direction. If the position of the head be changed after the prolonged rotation has been made, the position of the axis of the apparent rotation is changed, retaining always the same position relatively to the head as was occupied by the axis of the real rotation.
Pàgina 76 - Each canal has an ampulla at one end only, and there is thus a physical difference between rotation with the ampulla first, and rotation with the ampulla last, and we can easily suppose the action to be such that only one of these rotations (say that with the ampulla first, in which case, of course, there is a flow from the ampulla into the canal) will affect the nerve terminations at all1.
Pàgina 75 - ... the canal and the amount of attachment of the membranous canal to the periosteum. These latter conditions are not the same in the three canals, and therefore we ought to find, as we do, that the rate at which the sense of rotation dies away is not the same for different positions of the head. Again, if the uniform rotation is stopped, the contents of the canal will continue to move on, thus causing an apparent rotation in a direction the reverse of that of the original rotation, and this also...

Pàgina 77 - It is a contraction of the range or field of audition, as we have contractions of the field of vision. The latter is observed in different eye diseases, but the kind found in glaucoma most resembles the contraction of the range of audition.
Pàgina xi - Physician-Accoucheur to, and Lecturer on Midwifery and Diseases of Women and Children at, St. Bartholomew's Hospital ; 71, Brook street, Grosvenor square, W. Council, 1878-80.
Pàgina 7 - Little is known as to the range of temperature in cancer. Wunderlich makes the following observations upon the subject. ' It is a peculiarity of cancer cases that elevated temperatures are comparatively rare, and that the temperature generally maintains itself on a normal, or even subnormal, plane, which, however, by no means precludes the occurrence of high temperatures through intercurrent complications, or at the close of the disease. But fever temperatures of long duration are at least rare in...
