Physical and chemical characteristics of amniotic fluid. Vinogradova (Zentr. f. Gyn., 1927, No. 50)

Abstract

Proceeding from the undoubted facts that the environment has a great influence on the development of the growing organism, Vinogradova carefully studied the physical and chemical properties of amniotic fluid in order to study more precisely the influence of this environment on the development of the fetus. Physical study of the fluid components showed that its mineral parts, subjected to the action of t ° 700 ° C, get the ability to fluoresce in the dark, and so much so that you can clearly distinguish the clock face. The light is produced by the formation of calcium sulfide, which is produced by the calcium salts and protein substances contained in the liquid when it is incandescent.
