Synopsis

The Application Of Some Modern Methods Of Blood Analysis To Cerebrospinal Fluid by Carleton Henningsen. This 1922 master’s thesis from the University of Wisconsin documents the adaptation of modern blood-chemical methods to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and explores how such analyses can aid in diagnosing central nervous system diseases, including meningitis. The work describes qualitative and quantitative tests for components such as sugars, proteins, urea, chlorides, lactic acid, cholesterol, creatinine, and the Alkaline reserve/H+ ion status, and introduces a synthetic CSF for preliminary experimentation. It discusses the permanganate index as an indicator of organic substances, provides comparative results for various meningitis and non-meningitis CSF samples, and emphasizes that accurate technique and examination conditions are crucial. Part II presents a New Rapid Test for an Increase in Protein Content and compares several other CSF protein tests, including a novel tungstate-sulfuric acid method. The author acknowledges Professor John A. Kolmer for supervision and specimen collection.
