Book excerpt: Excerpt from Demonstrations of Diseases in the Chest, and Their Physical Diagnosis Seeing, from year to year, that these difficulties are felt more or less by every student of. Medicine, I have been anxious to place a similar means Of overcoming them within the reach Of all, free from the cost of time and labour at which the advantage was procured for myself. My original drawings were but roughly made in the hurry of a student's life - they have therefore been cast aside, and their plan, only, retained in this work, the plates of which are taken-from fresh specimens of disease, and have been executed by a skilful and practised artist. In the pages which treat of acoustics, I have attempted to collect, in a simple and intelligent form, the principles upon which the physical diagnosis of disease within the chest is based, freely illustrating them with examples, in order more closely to connect the theories of the science with the practice of the art. The succeeding chapters are principally occupied with dissertations on the plates, and directions for educating the organs of sense to appreciate the physical signs of disease. My endeavour has been throughout to produce a short, simple, and strictly practical work, which should, if pos sible, omit nothing absolutely essential to a fundamental knowledge of the subject, and yet contain nothing that could safely be omitted. I must confess, however, that the difficulties I have encountered on my way leave me no hope of having kept this happy middle course without digressions on one side or the, Other. When I have ventured to make definite statements on subjects fairly open to discussion, I trust to be acquitted of presumption, on the grounds that these subjects could not be left unnoticed, while the Objects and limits of my book precluded the introduction of lengthy arguments.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diseases of the Chest and the Principles of Physical Diagnosis To write a practical book on the physical diagnosis of the heart and lungs in health and disease, has been the aim of the authors. We have at tempted to omit everything not of practical diagnostic use, and to con dense methods of secondary importance. More than is the custom has been written on the subject of diagnostic acoustics, because we believe that only through the comprehension of the laws of sound production and transmission can the results of percussion and auscultation be intelligently interpreted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest: Based Upon the Comparison of Their Physical and General Signs In order to acquire the requisite knowledge of the physical signs, and of their relation to each other, as well as to the general symptoms, it is, in the first place, necessary to examine a well characterized ex ample of each sound, and to fix the recollection Of it as firmly as possible in the memory. After the signs have been learned, their relative importance is to be estimated, and they should then be compared with the general symptoms of the disease.

Download or read book Physical Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest Classic Reprint written by Richard C. Cabot and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest This book is intended for students and, so far as I am aware, contains nothing original. I have written it because I have not been able to find any small work upon the subject which does not contain glaring errors. The correct books are too large; the small books are out of date and repeat such well-worn myths as that the aortic second sound is normally louder than the pulmonic second, that aortic regurgitant murmurs are usually best heard in the sec ond right interspace, that a hypertrophied left auricle can produce dulness and pulsation near the left sternal border, that systolic re traction at the cardiac apex means adherent pericardium, that epi gastric pulsation denotes hypertrophy of the right ventricle, e'tc. Further, none of the smaller text-books contains any adequate ac count of muscle sounds, of pulmonary atelectasis, or of adherent pericardium. To record the well-known but often forgotten truth on such matters as these has seemed to me of importance in small books as well as in encyclopaedic treatises. The diagrams illustrating respiratory types are modifications of those used by Wylie and Sahli. I am indebted to Mr. Eliot Alden, of the Harvard Medical School, for his kind assistance in the preparation of the illustra tions and to Drs. E. C. Bradford and R. W. Lovett for permission to use three cuts from their well-known work on orthopedic sur gery. I am also indebted to the editor of the Archives of the Rontgen Ray for permission to use two radiographs from that journal.

This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Physical Examination of the Chest in Pulmonary Consumption and Its Intercurrent Diseases The Author's position of Physician to the Hospital for Consumption has afforded him the most ample means of observing the signs he has described. These, both in a practical and a scientific point of View, have had an absorbing interest for him and this, perchance, may have on some occasions led him to be prolix. The concentration of thought which they favour, and the Opportunities which they afford for investigation, are believed by many to be among the most important advantages of special hospitals - centres for relief and study, - which have happily been accorded a secure place amongst the most valued institutions of modern times, and of this progressive and labour-dividing age. Much of the materials upon which the following descriptions are based, much of the means for testing instruments, and of general observation, have been found in the hospital to which he has the honour to belong. His colleagues have greatly aided the Author. The observation of their practice, and the instruction which has casually fallen from them, have been a guide to him. He would thus gratefully acknowledge their aid but at the same time, he by no means desires to shelter himself from criticism for his opinions, for which he holds himself alone responsible.

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 Improving Diagnosis in Health Care written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.
