Abstrakt: New methods are presented for the study of the effects of neck compression on the water diuresis of rats, unanaesthetised or anaesthetised with ethanol. The results, in both preparations, indicate that venous congestion in the cephalic area induces an antidiuresis in water loaded animals. Neck compression experiments on an unanaesthetised human male showed no such effect and were in confirmation of earlier findings. The possible significance of the observations to the syndrome of congestive cardiac failure is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
