Abstract
Conclusion
1. Vit. K has shown a considerable thermoanalgetic effect that is also evident in suprarenaletomised animals. This effect is stronger than the thermoanalgetic effect of morphine. 2. Vit. K has shown a strong sedative effect not being due to the mobilisation of the hormones of the suprarenal glands. 3. Vit. K has no depressive property on the cortical or subcortical motor-centers. 4. In patients with inoperative carcinomas and sarcomas with metastases and severe pains, vit. K showed such a pronounced analgetic property that we could cease administration of morphine and barbiturates. The complete analgetic effect was obtained in 73% of cases.
