The vessels which nourish it are the splenic artery andsplenic vein.
The portal circulation is formed by the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein uniting to form the portal vein.
The abdominal aorta gives off in rotation the coeliac axis, which as a hub in a wheel gives off three spokes, the gastric artery to the stomach, the hepatic to the liver, and the splenic artery to the spleen.
The arteries nourishing it are the large and small pancreatic, which are branches of the splenic artery.
The inferior mesenteric vein runs into the splenic vein; the gastric and cystic veins run into the portal veins.
The arteries that supply the stomach are the gastric, and branches from the splenic and the hepatic.
I know of only one case in which a wound which crossed the splenic area caused death from hæmorrhage, and of this I can give no details, as I never saw the patient.
That this was sometimes the case there is no doubt: thus I saw two cases in which the splenic flexure of the colon was wounded, in which the external opening was large, and a comminuted fracture of the ribs of the left side existed.
While death is usually rapid or sudden when the malady is general, constituting what is designated splenic apoplexy, internal anthrax in cattle is not invariably fatal.
The commonly described varieties of primary anemia are pernicious anemia and chlorosis, but splenic anemia may also be mentioned under this head.
On compression the splenic angle was raised with the diaphragm.
In 1863, imbued with ideas derived from Pasteur's researches on fermentation, Davaine reinvestigated the matter, and put forth the opinion that the anthrax bacilli caused the splenic fever; this was proved to result from inoculation.
In animals it is characterised by symptoms of acute general poisoning, and, from the fact that it produces a marked enlargement of the spleen, is known in veterinary surgery as "splenic fever.
These authors have already raised the question "whether the increase of the eosinophil cells is connected with the splenic tumour or the bone-marrow?
A woman received a blow in the region of the spleen by a fall from the roof, which gradually led to a marked splenic enlargement.
For instance Müller and Rieder bring forward three cases of splenic tumour caused by congenital syphilis, cirrhosis of the liver, neoplasm in the cranial cavity, and in which the numbers of the eosinophils amounted to 12.
In spite of the splenic tumour we have to deal then with a pure lymphatic leukæmia.
Ehrlich at least, in an enormous number of cases, has never once succeeded in confirming the existence of a purelysplenic form from the blood examination[33].
As no other symptoms appeared, the surgeon in charge proposed splenectomy, on the assumption of a pure splenic leukæmia.
Müller and Rieder, who discovered the frequency of eosinophilia in children, and its presence in chronic splenic tumours; further by the well-known work of Ed.
On the other hand, the excision of chronic splenic tumours may be--for the blood condition--of no importance inasmuch as the function of the spleen may have previously long been eliminated by pathological changes.
This term is by no means so misleading as lieno-lymphatic; for no one would conclude from the former that any liver-cells passed into the blood, whilst the latter implies the idea, that specific splenic cells take part in the blood changes.
In a man 44 years of age the spleen was extirpated on account of a large splenic cyst.
They proved, among other things, that in cases where previous observers in France had supposed themselves to be dealing solely with splenic fever, another equally virulent factor was simultaneously active.
Footnote: Koch found that to produce its characteristic effects the contagium of splenic fever must enter the blood; the virulently festive spleen of a diseased animal may be eaten with impunity by mice.
Koch will render as certain the stamping out of splenic fever as the stoppage of the plague of pébrine by the researches of Pasteur.
After keeping the spore-charged blood which had been treated in this fashion for four years, he inoculated a number of mice with it, and found its action as fatal as that of blood fresh from the veins of an animal suffering from splenic fever.
German physician named Koch, on splenic fever, by an account of what Pasteur has recently done with reference to the same subject.
The bacterium of splenic fever is called Bacillus Anthracis.
Splenic fever was often overmastered by septicaemia, and results due solely to the latter had been frequently made the ground of pathological inferences regarding the character and cause of the former.
Inoculating them with the fresh blood of an animal suffering from splenic fever, they invariably died of the same disease within twenty or thirty hours after inoculation.
Uncounted millions of these spores are developed in the body of every animal which has died of splenic fever, and every spore of these millions is competent to produce the disease.
Observations of the highest importance have also been made on splenic fever by Pollender and Brauell.
There was a spleen "the size of a walnut" in the usual position, with the splenic artery and vein in their normal position.
After birth the child had seven malarial paroxysms but recovered, the splenic tumor disappearing.
According to the review of this article, Toldt explains the case by assuming that other parts of the celomic epithelium, besides that of the mesogastrium, are capable of forming splenic tissue.
Every one of these spleens had a capsule, was covered by peritoneum, and exhibited the histologic appearance of splenic tissue.
The left splenic vein was lying on the superior vena cava, the liver under the left ribs, and the spleen on the right side underneath the heart.
The splenic flexure develops early and is well marked.
The transverse colon is not quite horizontal since the splenic flexure is higher and placed more dorsally than the hepatic flexure.
A connection with the colon, produced by adhesion of the mesogastrium to the splenic flexure of the large intestine, forms the adult lig.
In the adult the splenic artery supplies a series of small branches to the pancreas as it courses along the cephalic border of the gland on its way to the spleen.
When completely developed the extreme end (tail) of the pancreas extends to the left, following the splenic artery, until it touches the mesal aspect of the spleen at the hilus.
The coronary artery, like the splenic, is at first situated between the layers of the dorsal mesogastrium (vertebro-splenic segment).
After the above-described adhesion of the original left leaf of the dorsal mesogastrium (vertebro-splenic segment) to the parietal peritoneum (Fig.
Splenic Apoplexy, Splenic Fever, and as it occurs in man, Malignant Pustule and Woolsorter's Disease: a carbuncle or malignant boil.
It was apparent that the oxygenation which attenuated the venom of the bacilli of chicken cholera was impossible with those of splenic fever if the bacilli of the latter disappeared within a week, leaving the spores behind.
While working on the bacilli of splenic fever, Pasteur had isolated the bacillus of chicken cholera, had cultivated it and had inoculated chickens with it, developing the disease.
On May 31st he reinoculated the thirty-one animals with the strongest virus of splenic fever, and at the same time inoculated twenty-five sheep and four cows which had not been vaccinated as were the others.
He then attenuated the venom of the splenic bacilli as he had that of the fowl cholera, tried it on guinea-pigs, found they became sick and recovered; inoculated them with the bacilli of full strength, but with no result.
Pasteur began the examination ofsplenic fever by securing some of the blood from an animal dying from it.
In the early part of 1881 Pasteur agreed to hold a public exhibition of his vaccine for splenic fever, the animals to be supplied by the Society of Agriculture in Melun.
But Pasteur had discovered before this that, unless the temperature of a fowl were lowered artificially, inoculation with the microbes of splenic fever would not produce the disease.
He had proved, then, that splenicfever was produced by the bacilli, by living organisms only to be seen with a powerful microscope.
Pasteur hastened to apply his discovery of the attenuation of the virus of chicken cholera to the virus of splenic fever.
The microbes of splenic fever, if left in the flask for forty-eight hours, developed bright spots, and gradually into these spots the bacilli themselves seemed to be absorbed.
Malpighian corpuscles of the spleen, masses of adenoid tissue connected with branches of the splenic artery.
Defn: Of or pertaining to the spleen; lienal; as, the splenic vein.
As the stomach turns over so that its left side becomes ventral, the dorsal mesentery attached to it becomes pulled out, in such a way that part of it forms the great omentum and part the gastro-splenic omentum.
The results obtained by Pasteur in attenuating the virus of chicken cholera and splenic fever indicate one line which these experiments will take, and the researches of Koch point out another.
At times, in cases which ultimately recover, the pain in the splenicregion is so violent and continuous, and is attended with so much tenderness over the enlarged organ, that localized peritonitis is undoubtedly present.
The splenic pulp may retain its consistency and firmness, even in cases that have run a long course; but more frequently it is softened, and may be almost diffluent.
Embolism of the coronary arteries is rare, while embolism of the splenic artery, the left renal and left iliac arteries, is comparatively common, and in the order mentioned.
Experiments with the result which I have stated have been made with the microbes of splenic fever, chicken cholera, murrain, and certain other maladies.
Pasteur has demonstrated that the germs of the splenic fever of some of the lower {346} animals may be deprived of their virulence by cultivation in appropriate liquids.
But influenza lacks the temperature curve, the splenic enlargement, and the eruption of enteric fever, and the progress of the disease will in a few days clear up the most doubtful case.
The splenicfever of the horse was distinct from that of the cow; the splenic fever of horse and cow were again different from that of the sheep.
Jaillard and Leplat recommenced their experiments, using this time the blood of a sheep which had died of splenic fever, and which M.
At the end of twenty-four hours the hen was dead, and all its blood was filled with splenic fever bacteria.
At the same time, though it is entitled to be called an aerobic organism, it differs essentially in certain respects from the parasite of splenic fever.
He further proved that the inoculated animal, in the blood of which no parasites were as yet visible with the microscope, had every appearance of health, and that in these conditions the blood could not communicate splenic fever.
This opinion was strengthened by a knowledge of the spores of the splenic bacillus.
But if a disease like splenic fever is carried by a microbe, this microbe is under the influence of the medium in which it finds itself.
Like the bacillus of splenic fever, the microbe of the fowl cholera is an aerobic organism.
The upper preaortic glands are massed round the coeliac axis, and receive afferents from the gastric, hepatic, splenic and pancreatic glands; they are known as coeliac glands.
Pasteur gave public demonstrations in the fields near Paris, using the disease called splenic fever, and sheep as the subjects of his experimentation.
His discovery of the germ of splenic fever, and that of chicken cholera, as well as the general results in this direction in other laboratories of Europe, led him to the conjecture that consumption also is a zymotic or bacterial disease.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "splenic" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
