Summary

Measurements have been made of the physicochemical and biological properties of the blood, based on tests designed to find the subjects' reactions to stimulation. From these it was possible to determine the limits of homeostasis and the nature of the adaptive reactions, and the results were used diagnostically; it was also possible to distinguish between primary pathological processes and secondary compensatory phenomena. Measurements were made of the concentration of adrenalin-like substances, acetylcholine, sympathins, and parasympathins in normal subjects and in those with diencephalic disorders. The two tests were based on the reaction to heat and to cold. Four types of disturbance of control and compensatory mechanisms were found.
