FURTHER OBSERVATIONS, CHIEFLY PHARMACOLOGICAL, ON THE CRITERIA BY WHICH DEFICIENCIES IN THE BLOODFLOW (IN THE HANDS OR FEET) DUE TO MECHANICAL CAUSES MAY BE DISCRIMINATED FROM CHANGES DUE TO FUNCTIONAL (VASOMOTOR) CAUSES DP - 1915 Oct 01 TA - Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics PG - 281--293 VI - 7 IP - 3 4099 - http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/7/3/281.short 4100 - http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/7/3/281.full SO - J Pharmacol Exp Ther1915 Oct 01; 7 AB - 1. To the criteria already described which can be employed to discriminate between deficiency in the bloodflow (in the hands or feet) due to mechanical causes and deficiency due to vasomotor action, may be added the behavior of the flow when drugs which cause vasodilatation (nitroglycerine, alcohol) are administered. 2. Alcoholic beverages (wine, whisky) cause first a diminution and then an increase in the hand flow.
