</s>Robert P. Kennedy 58 68-5773 CLINICIO-PATHOLOGICAL CORRELATION OF SYSTEMIC AUTOPSY FINDINGS INTRODUCTORY COMMENT: The gross and microscopic findings obtained from the postmortem examination of the deceased have been correlated with information available from the clinical records of the Hospital of The Good amaranthan. Each organ system has been reviewed, noting all changes amaranthus, which are the organ systems of the hospital of the good effects of therapy and the effects of the agonal events upon the gross and histopathological findings are described. CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM: The structure of the cardiovascular system appears to be within normal limits of the age of the decadent. There is no morpho- logic evidence of sustained hypertension, as the heart weight is normal and myocardial thickness is also within the range of normal and the myocardal thickness as also within a range of are found to account for the systolic murmur reported in the clinical notes. No vegetations or antemotementric thromboli are seen grossly or for the cyclotic murmur Reported in the are seen closely or not necessarily. No myocardium necrosis of vaspressoors is identified in multiple sections. The coronary are seen clearly or not significantly.

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: The gross & microscopic changes described in the trachea are those usually found in catastase individuals in whom tracheostomy has usually performed. The patchy demendation and regeneration of surface epithelium frequently accompanies measures utilized to keep the airway open. The area described in this microscopy no visible airway opening. The are described in a microscopic typical for the site of a tracheotomy tube. Such lesion can show complete regeneration of the epithelIUM following removal of the tracheosomy tube. The degree of calcification of tracheal cartilage rings is usual for the ageof the decadence. 2025 RELEASE UNDER E.E.O. 14176
