If this booklet presents a stimulus to furthering study in those fields i think it's going to have accomplished its objective.

Permeability is also enhanced by the formation of wide gaps in the postcapillary venules (Majno et al. 1961) or by large transport vacuoles in the cytoplasm (Grega and Svensjo 1984), with a concomitant elevation of macromolecule passage into the interstitium and lymph (Arfors et al. 1979). Bradykinin in the mesentery causes relaxation of both arterial microvessels and venules, with a rise of blood flow and pressure in the capillary bed (Altura and Altura 1978). As with histamine, an increase in capillary permeability to macromolecules has been described in various capillary beds.
33 33 33 Exudates 35 The terms transudate and exudate look and sound very much alike, and as both of them describe some form of oedema, they are sometimes used (wrongly) as synonyms. Their proper use is, however, of more than semantic interest because transudates and exudates arise by different mechanisms, and are therefore found in different clinical settings. Further, their compositions are different, especially with regard to protein concentrations. It is usually possible in a sample of effusion fluid collected from a serosal cavity of the body to identify it as transudate or exudate, based on its protein content; this identification is usually of great diagnostic importance.
