To the pathology of amyloid in man. N. Waldenström (Klin. W., 1927, no. 47)

The author made a number of investigations by means of a puncture needle invented by him, and he managed to investigate amyloid liver in 10 cases by this method. In contrast to the view that a person suffering from amyloid sooner or later but always dies of it, W. was able to establish by repeated punctures that even the liver, which at the same time is overfilled with amyloid, can again be completely free from the latter.
