胸成術の副腎皮質機能に及ぼす影響 : Robinson等のIndex Aについて

Influence of thoracoplasty on the function of the adrenal cortex was studied by Index A (Robinson et al) with the following results. The mineral metabolism of the adrenocortical function is accelerated as a result of thoracoplasty. It reaches its maximum about the fifth day afer the first operation and also about third day after the seccond operation. It appears that the acceleration of adrenocortical function produced by thoracoplasty is parallel with the elimination of pregnandiol in urine.departmental bulletin pape
