[Late complications of poliomyelitis].

We examined 73 31-55-year-old postpoliomyelitis patients who had paralytic form of the disease before the age of 11. It was found that progression of neuro-muscular signs (pareses, atrophies, myalgias), typical for postpoliomyelitis muscular atrophy (PMA) emerged in 43 patients. Classical statistical analysis of clinical and electromyographical data and special statistical method of extreme parameter grouping confirmed PMA only in 8 out of the above 43; 3 forms of postpoliomyelitis syndrome were recognised.

[Histochemical study of the innervation of the gastric veins in the cat].

By means of Koelle's and Glenner's methods, functional nature of the neural apparatuses in the left and right cat gastric veins has been studied. The parasympathetic neural apparatus is presented by cholinergic neural fibres running both in the plexus-forming fasciculi and as single fibres. The neural plexus branches penetrate into the external and medial venous tunics and make anastomoses forming multiple loops of various size and length dependent on depth of their occurrence.
