The Relative Pressures Within Cutaneous Lymphatic Capillaries and the Tissues
The Relative Pressures Within Cutaneous Lymphatic Capillaries and the Tissues is a scholarly work, published in 1947 in ''Journal of Experimental Medicine''. The main subjects of the publication include capillary action, pathology, lymphedema, hyperhidrosis, edema, pressure gradient, chemistry, lymphangiogenesis, lymph, anatomy, extracellular fluid, lymphatic system, and transdermal patch. Measurements of the interstitial pressure in the tissue immediately next the lymphatics showed that, in more than half the instances studied, there was a slight gradient of pressure from the tissues to the lymph.
