THE ARTERIAL PULSE: ITS PHYSIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY. Delivered before the Royal College of Surgeons of England on March SSrd, 1906. By SYDNEY WALTER CURL, M.A., M.D. Camb, M.R.C.P. Lond., Physician To The Essex And Colchester Hospital. dr. Curl commenced his lecture by a few remarks upon the nature of the pulse as held by the ancients, referring to, amongst others, Erasistratua and Nicolas de Cusa. Coming down to modern times he reviewed the opinions of various observers--such as Ewart, Sansom, and Spallanzani--as to whether the pulse is due to an expansion of the artery or not and gave it as his own opinion that whilst the pulse in the main is produced by the increase of pressure in the arteries, yet there is a certain amount of arterial expansion at the same time. He then passed on to consider the physiology of the pulse curve (Landoeis and Czermak) and referred to the two methods of investigating the pulse--namely, by means of the finger and by means of the sphygmograph. He discussed the effects on the pulse of arterial tone and peripheral resistance and gave the characteristics of the normal pulse. Continuing his remarks, he proceeded to discuss the meaning of the various portions of the pulse curve--such as the dicrotic and predicrotic waves--as traced by the sphygmograph. He next passed on to consider--The Pathology Of The Pulsb. Causes giving rise to pathological pulses may act in several different ways, of which the following are the main. In the first place, they may act by disturbing the normal nervous mechauism for the control of the action of the heart. They may stimulate or paralyse the inhibitory cardiac mechanism, that is, the vagus centre or nerve; or the accelerating system of cardiac nerves--namely...
