Abstract
Results with a diffusor enzyme (thiomucasi) in the medical management of oedema in 29 subjects are presented. This substance was used on the assumption that interstitial mucopolysaccharides trap water by means of a polymerisation-depolymerisation process, so that its release necessitates rupture of chemicophysical bonds. The results point to the effectiveness of the drug and the soundness of this interpretation.
