On the significance of "myogenic" shifts in the blood picture

Abstract

Since labor processes, in particular physical labor processes, both industrial and physical culture-sports type, occupy an extremely important place in our life, it is quite understandable the ardent interest of doctors and biologists in all attempts to understand the essence of the changes occurring in the body in connection with muscle work, and the development of methods for the practical assessment of the degree of the general reaction of the body to work, fatigue, the body's adaptability to work, etc. In recent years, quite a lot of works have been published on the study of "myogenic" leukocytosis and, it seems to me, such a versatile development of this issue , put forward by me in 1924 on a practical basis, is to be applauded. This question has been widely developed by me and my colleagues, and I often have to read references to our practical provisions, and not always in their correct interpretation. It is very likely that this is due to the overly concise style of the articles (the reason is quite understandable - to save space).
