Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Typhoid and All Other Slow Fevers Broken in Fourteen Days As the writer has so greatly lessened the mortality, and shortened the duration of typhoid fever than as given in text books, he has for this reason set this work before the public. The reader is requested to examine the chapter on the treatment and formulas at the close of the book before begin ning to read the work. In order to clearly set forth the basis upon which this work is founded, namely, the vaso-motor capillary systems and the sympathetic nervous system, the author has quoted the direct words of the American Text-book of Physiology, and also from Hare on Practical Therapeutics. And in order for the author to prove or disapprove his own ideas, he has also quoted some of the exact words of Nothnagel and Osler themselves. In order to prove that some of the commonly accepted ideas of Osler and Nothnagel are illogical and erroneous, the author has quoted a few of the exact words of these authors. The author is greatly indebted to Hektoen and Riesman for their ideas, as seen in their work on Pathology as pertain ing to the probability of the typhoid bacilli being nothing more than a rejuvenated colon bacilli.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Continued Fevers Tremor and delirium are other signs which call for stimulants; they are mostly the result of failing nervous power. Yet, certainly with reference to delirium, we cannot make our rule too absolute. Delirium may be due, not to defective nerve-energy and poisoned blood, but to intracranial mischief, though, excepting cerebro - spinal fever, such is rarely the case.

Download or read book Text Book of the Eruptive and Continued Fevers Classic Reprint written by John W. Moore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-14 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Text-Book of the Eruptive and Continued Fevers IT may be desirable to state very briefly the circumstances under which this work has come to see the light. To write a Text-book on Fever while the splendid mono graph of Charles Murchison is our possession to all time may well be deemed presumptuous. But, on the threshold, I would disclaim any intention of allowing the present work hoc parvum opusculum - to enter the lists with that unrivalled masterpiece. However, even since Dr. William Cayley, in 1884, edited, with excellent good taste and literary skill, the posthumous edition of Murchison's Treatise, the study of the Continued F evers has received a great impetus, and the necessity of a sound knowledge of Fever by every practitioner of medicine has been more and more recognised.

This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Continued Fevers of Great Britain The voluminous literature on the subject Of F evers, proves the interest attached to them by medical men, in all ages, down to the present day. Like other contagious and epidemic diseases, which are due to the action of a Specific poison, Continued Fevers possess a peculiar attraction for the medical philosopher, inasmuch as their study involves an investigation, not merely of their symptoms, pathology, and treatment, but more especially of the causes Of their varying prevalence at different periods, and of the laws that regulate their origin and propagation; while, at the same time, a knowledge of fever in the abstract, is indispensable for the study and treatment of all acute diseases. In the Whole range Of human maladies, ' said Graves, one Of the greatest authorities on the subject, there is no disease of such surpassing interest and importance as fever.'

Download or read book Butcher s Crossing written by John Williams and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2011-03-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now a major motion picture starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Gabe Polsky. In his National Book Award–winning novel Augustus, John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher’s Crossing, his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America. It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, fired up by Emerson to seek “an original relation to nature,” drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher’s Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. Butcher’s Crossing is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher’s Crossing to find a world as irremediably changed as they have been.
Download or read book Saving Lives Buying Time written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-09-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 50 years, low-cost antimalarial drugs silently saved millions of lives and cured billions of debilitating infections. Today, however, these drugs no longer work against the deadliest form of malaria that exists throughout the world. Malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africaâ€"currently just over one million per yearâ€"are rising because of increased resistance to the old, inexpensive drugs. Although effective new drugs called "artemisinins" are available, they are unaffordable for the majority of the affected population, even at a cost of one dollar per course. Saving Lives, Buying Time: Economics of Malaria Drugs in an Age of Resistance examines the history of malaria treatments, provides an overview of the current drug crisis, and offers recommendations on maximizing access to and effectiveness of antimalarial drugs. The book finds that most people in endemic countries will not have access to currently effective combination treatments, which should include an artemisinin, without financing from the global community. Without funding for effective treatment, malaria mortality could double over the next 10 to 20 years and transmission will intensify.
Download or read book Science the Endless Frontier written by Vannevar Bush and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic case for why government must support science—with a new essay by physicist and former congressman Rush Holt on what democracy needs from science today Science, the Endless Frontier is recognized as the landmark argument for the essential role of science in society and government’s responsibility to support scientific endeavors. First issued when Vannevar Bush was the director of the US Office of Scientific Research and Development during the Second World War, this classic remains vital in making the case that scientific progress is necessary to a nation’s health, security, and prosperity. Bush’s vision set the course for US science policy for more than half a century, building the world’s most productive scientific enterprise. Today, amid a changing funding landscape and challenges to science’s very credibility, Science, the Endless Frontier resonates as a powerful reminder that scientific progress and public well-being alike depend on the successful symbiosis between science and government. This timely new edition presents this iconic text alongside a new companion essay from scientist and former congressman Rush Holt, who offers a brief introduction and consideration of what society needs most from science now. Reflecting on the report’s legacy and relevance along with its limitations, Holt contends that the public’s ability to cope with today’s issues—such as public health, the changing climate and environment, and challenging technologies in modern society—requires a more capacious understanding of what science can contribute. Holt considers how scientists should think of their obligation to society and what the public should demand from science, and he calls for a renewed understanding of science’s value for democracy and society at large. A touchstone for concerned citizens, scientists, and policymakers, Science, the Endless Frontier endures as a passionate articulation of the power and potential of science.
