Whilst it is relatively unimportant in the examination of the abdomen, it is more important when examining the heart, although even here one cannot be too sure of the deductions arrived at. Whilst in examining the respiratory system, percussion is one of the most important, if not the most important, method of examination. 1953-01-01T00:00:00Z Abstracts from "Il Giornale Italiano di Oftalmia" /library/oar/handle/123456789/42793 2020-05-21T14:33:13Z 1953-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Abstracts from "Il Giornale Italiano di Oftalmia" Abstract: 1.

The diagnostic field of lymph node enlargement is vast and a nightmare both to the clinician and pathologist. The first requisite is to know what the causes of lymph node enlargement could be, hence I am beginning by a classification which to my mind is as good as any other. This is followed by the clinical features of each particular disease, by the investigations which are of help in the diagnosis and finally by the pathological picture of the enlarged gland. 1953-01-01T00:00:00Z
