Cardiac calcification due to myocardial abscess.

Dense calcification of an old abscess of the left ventricular wall was discovered in a patient with mitral and aortic valvular disease. In spite of the fact that myocarditis occurs in a variety of settings, calcification of a myocardial focus of infection is rare and has not been reported previously.

Collateral vessel formation: isolation of a transferable factor promoting a vascular response.

Collateral vessel formation to the kidney was induced by renal artery stenosis or embolization in six dogs. Extracts from control and collateral-forming kidneys were assessed for their ability to promote a vascular response in the hamster cheekpouch. The highly significant response evoked by particulate and soluble fractions of cytoplasm from collateral-forming kidneys suggests a humoral element in collateral vessel formation.
