PHYSIOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL ASPECTS OF SOME RECENT WORK ON THE

The close relationship between physiological research and progress in clinical work is self evident. Nevertheless there are certain difficulties in assessing the clinical applications of recent advances in physiology. It is not possible to cover the whole field of physiology and discuss the possible clinical implications; impossible because of lack of knowledge and lack of space. This article has, therefore, been limited to such aspects as are familiar to the writer, those problems concerned with the cardio-vascular system. It is not suggested that advances in this field are amongst the most important, other physiologists would almost certainly select quite different example
