About the Cover
COVER:
Advanced plaque in the aorta of a rabbit fed cholesterol for 124 days and then put
back on a chow diet for 101 days before killing. Anitschkow calls attention to the
central necrotic lipid core containing needle-like crystals of cholesterol,
scattered calcium granules, groups of foam cells on either side of the core, and a
fibrous cap overlying the lesion. Originally printed in Arteriosclerosis: A Survey
of the Problem. E. V. Cowdry, editor. MacMillan, New York. 1933 [ref. (20)].
