Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pathology and Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis: And on the Local Medication of Pharyngeal and Laryngeal Diseases Frequently Mistaken For, or Associated With Phthisis Although it was generally considered by the profession that no remedy and no plan of treatment yet proposed could be depended on in cases of consumption, it was Obvious to the Author that if the process employed by nature could be dis covered, and then imitated by art, we might ultimately at the true principle of cure. Whenever, therefore, dea'ded and unmistakeable evidence of a spontaneous cum came before him, he carefully studied the circumstances which preceded it; and connecting these with the numerous observations which were simultaneously going on, as to the good effects of Cod-liver Oil, he was gradually led to the rules of treatment which are developed in the following pages. These he has tested on a large scale in hospital and private practice. They have also been extensively tried by others who have followed his suggestions, so that he can now confidently recommend them to his professional brethren.

Download or read book The Open Air Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis Classic Reprint written by Frederick William Burton-Fanning and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Open-Air Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis This manual is intended to serve as a practical guide to the modern method Of managing pulmonary tuberculosis. I aim particularly at representing the treatment in its very simplest form. The conditions which are absolutely necessary for the satisfactory adoption Of the open-air system are to be found almost everywhere outside our cities, and the treatment need not by any means be con fined to special institutions. Only a certain proportion of the victims of pulmonary tuberculosis are able to gain admission to a sanatorium, and even these require the subsequent supervision Of their medical man. This book will have served its purpose if the practitioner finds within its pages information as to the carrying out Of the treatment wherever it may be expedient. Arguments are adduced in support Of the contention that not only are elaborate buildings unnecessary, but that they provide less efiicient treatment than more primitive forms Of accommodation. I am convinced that the results are more satisfactory when the consumptive patient is placed in a simple shelter than when he is housed Within massive walls.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis In 1890 Behring enunciated the doctrine of the antitoxic substances which develop in the animal or ganism from the bacterial toxins, and this led to the introduction of the antitoxin of diphtheria into gen eral medical practice. In spite of occasional adverse criticism and an occasional death due directly to the remedy, it has proved its value in the treatment of diphtheria beyond a doubt, and thousands of lives are yearly saved that would otherwise undoubtedly have been lost.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Its Modern and Specialized Treatment; With a Brief Account of the Methods of Study and Treatment at the Henry Phipps Institute of Philadelphia In the following pages I have not attempted to write an encyclopazdic consideration of the treat ment of tuberculosis, but to present the subject as practically and brie y as is consistent with accuracy and thoroughness.

Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

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.
