About this work

Description

This subseries mainly consists of case notes, reprints, and clinical data regarding in-vivo faecal dialysis; including self-experimentation. While at the University College Hospital, Dr. Wrong established an in-vivo dialysis methodology using a combination of visking tubing and impermeable cellulose (dextran) known as 'Wrong Bags'. These bags, after ingestion and excretion, provided stool samples that could be uniquely measured for pH, ammonia, and osmolality. The items in this series are titled with their original labels unless otherwise noted.
