Abstract
Acute hind-limb ischaemia was produced in anaesthetized, ventilated dogs. During ischaemia the femoral venous oxygen tension fell markedly and both oxygen extraction and consumption appeared to increase. Oxygen at 2 ATA produced a relatively small increase in oxygen availability to the ischaemic tissues; femoral venous oxygen tension rose by 20 mm. Hg but oxygen extraction and consumption remained elevated.

## Abstract Intravenous streptokinase infusions (100 000 units/h) have been used to treat 48 patients, with 50 episodes of acute limb ischaemia who were unlikely to benefit from a surgical approach. These included 17 acute thromboses, 14 late or distal emboli and 19 bypass graft occlusions. Overall
## Correspondence axillary symptoms. In our experience of this condition, 11 of 13 patients (85 per cent) complained of palmar sweating. As palmar hyperhidrosis is curable only by sympathectomy, it follows that surgery is the appropriate modality of treatment for the majority of referrals. Indeed,
