Both chests filled with water; deposits of lymph over all the pleura-costalis, presenting the same velvety, furzy appearance as in Case 1. Both lungs were hardened at the base, and the left throughout its whole extent, and firmly adherent to diaphragm and costal pleura, near the spine.
Sand was carried to the hospital and guarded with the utmost strictness; the wounds were serious, but, thanks to the skill of the physicians who were called in, were not mortal; one of them even healed eventually; but as to the second, the blade having gone between the costal pleura and the pulmonary pleura, an effusion of blood occurred between the two layers, so that, instead of closing the wound, it was kept carefully open, in order that the blood extravasated during the night might be drawn off every morning by means of a pump, as is done in the operation for empyaemia.
It is a part of the lining membrane of the cavity of the abdomen, called Transverse colon. 2. Duodenum. 3. Small intestine. 4. Pancreas. *The Peritoneum.*—The peritoneum is to the abdominal cavity what the pleura is to the thoracic cavity. It forms the outer covering for the alimentary canal and other abdominal organs and supplies the inner lining of the cavity itself.
The roses like the Virginale seemed cut out of varnished cloth or oil-silks; the white ones, like the Albano, appeared to have been cut out of an ox's transparent pleura, or the diaphanous bladder of a pig.
There was purulent pleurisy with a considerable pocket of pus, and purulent false membranes on the walls of the pleura. The liver was bleached, fatty, but of firm consistency, and with no apparent metastatic abscesses. The uterus, of small size, appeared healthy; but on the external surface whitish nodules filled with pus were found.
Literally, the tender mother; the innermost of the three coverings of the brain. It is thin and delicate; hence the name. External cartilaginous flap of the ear. Anything formed or moulded. The liquid part of the blood. A membrane covering the lung, and lining the chest. Pleurisy. An inflammation affecting the pleura. The chief nerve of respiration; also called the vagus, or wandering nerve.
6. =Of the Chest.= Incised wounds of the walls are not of necessity dangerous; but severe blows, by causing fracture of the bones and internal injuries, are often fatal. The symptoms of penetrating wounds of the chest are The passage of blood and air through the wound; hæmoptysis; pneumothorax; and protrusion of the lung forming a tumour covered with pleura.
Name the divisions of the lungs. Trace air from the outside atmosphere into the alveoli. Trace the blood from the right ventricle to the alveoli and back again to the left auricle. How are the air passages kept clean and open? Describe the pleura. Into what divisions does it separate the thoracic cavity? Describe and name uses of the diaphragm.
Like a flock of friendly ravens, my sister nurses fed me, not only with food for the body, but kind words for the mind; and soon, from being half starved, I found myself so beteaed and betoasted, petted and served, that I was quite "in the lap of luxury," in spite of cough, headache, a painful consciousness of my pleura, and a realizing sense of bones in the human frame.
You would think that was in the right spot to settle a man, and yet what does it do but glance upon a rib, and go clean round and out at the back, without so much as penetrating what you medicos call the pleura. Did ever you hear of such a thing?" "You were certainly born under a lucky star," I observed, with a smile. "That's a matter of opinion," he answered, shaking his head.
