Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glands in Health and Disease Monkey glands; clever men and stupid ones; glands as the cause of crime; the origin of races' the mentally unbalanced; many acute diseases; the bearded lady, the giant, the fat boy and the midget; - all these and more have been dealt with under the subject of glands of internal secretion (also called ductless or endocrine glands). As in any subject that fires the popular imagination, fact and fancy have been mixed, - several drops of fact have been largely diluted with many drops of fancy. The achievements, judged by rigid scientific standards, are no more than modest, but the possibilities are limitless. It is because of these vast possibilities that an imagination, not sufficiently tempered by self-criticism, is apt to enlarge a molehill into a mountain.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Thyroid Gland in Health and Disease A period of sick leave from active service has afforded me an Opportunity to incorporate into one volume the results of some fourteen years of study of the thyroid apparatus and its diseases. When, in 1902, I undertook the investigation of the aetiology of its maladies a maze of hypotheses and uncertainties surrounded the subject. Knowing nothing, premising nothing, I determined to examine it from the combined epidemiological, clinical, experi mental and pathological points of view. Some years of extensive epidemiological research cleared the ground of many false hypo theses, resolved some uncertainties, and brought to light certain facts which suggested an infectious or toxic origin for some of the thyroid's most common disorders. Clinical experience during the same period added further facts which strengthened this supposition; observations on man and experimental work on a large scale on animals converted the supposition into what I believe to be fact, and pathological studies have since confirmed my belief. Meanwhile it became necessary to revert to the study of the normal thyroid gland in order fully to understand the various processes of abnormality. As a result of this study a number of important points relating to the gland's normal range of physio logical action were elucidated, whereby it became possible to interpret the pathological changes to which various experimental procedures had given rise.

Download or read book The Ductless Glandular Diseases Classic Reprint written by Wilhelm Falta and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ductless Glandular Diseases The considerable impetus that has been given to the study of the internal secretion in the last two decades quite justifies the experiment of publishing the diseases of the ductless glands connectedly. The experimental physiology and pathology has been dealt with in exhaustive fashion in the excellent work of A. Biedl. The present volume is concerned with the clinical aspects of the diseases of the ductless glands. Of the results of experimental pathology I have set forth only as much as seemed to me necessary for the explanation of the clinical manifestations. For the rest of these results the reader is referred to the work of Biedl. In most of the chapters I have tried to describe the clinical symptomatology on the basis of my own observations, such as I had occasion to make, for the most part, at the first medical clinic in Vienna. Prof. Dr. L. von Frankl-Hochwarl and Privat-Docent Dr. R. Stern I thank cordially for the revision of the neurological part, Prof. Dr. Stoerck for the revision of the pathologico-anatomical part, and the latter also for numerous microscopical preparations. The X-ray examinations, when not especially credited, were by Dr. G. Schwarz, director of the Roentgen division of the first medical clinic. I thank Assistant Dr. S. Bernkeim for aid in the working-through of numerous experimental questions. Finally I am indebted to my publishers, the firm of Julius Springer, for their assistance in the fitting-out of the book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organs of Internal Secretion, Their Diseases and Therapeutic Application: A Book for General Practitioners The place which those glands possessing internal secretions now occupy in the practice of medicine cannot be over-estimated. Although it is only in recent years that their importance has been under stood, every day brings to our knowledge fresh evidence of their vital influences upon the general bodily and mental health. When it was discovered that ex Ophthalmic goitre owed its existence to an over-action, associated with hypersecretion, of the thyroid gland, the first milestone had been passed in the path which led us to the discovery of the important part which the hormones play in our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Glands of Life: A Contribution to the Study of Organotherapy It is well understood that the activities Of these vis ceral organs are regulated by impulses proceeding from centers of nerve force; but underlying these activities there must be some primal, sustaining force, upon which they depend, a force most intimately associated with the essential phenomena of life. It is now believed that this force emanates from a group of organs known as the ductless glands and hence these are termed The Glands of Life. This supremely important, life-sustaining force is inherent in fluids, called internal secretions, elaborated by certain cells Within the tissue of the glands. These secretions mingle with the stream circulating through the blood vessels and thus come in contact with the organs which it is their function to vitalize, by transfer ring to] them the force of which they act as carriers. It is the purpose of this thesis to explain, in the light Of recent scientific progress, the physiological role played by the glands of life, from which this force emanates, and also to Show that serious diseases are caused by any alteration in the natural supply of this force, and that cures may be effected by furnishing this force, as therapeutic treatment.

Download or read book Glandular Enlargement and Other Diseases of the Lymphatic System Classic Reprint written by Arthur Edmunds and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glandular Enlargement and Other Diseases of the Lymphatic SystemThis small volume makes no pretension to be an exhaustive treatise on the diseases of the Lymphatic System. Such a monograph would entail a review of practically the whole of medicine and surgery, there being few diseases in which the lymphatic system does not play some part.The subject has been considered from a practical and from a surgical standpoint, and its limitations have been defined by considering only those pathological conditions, in which affections of the lymphatic vessels or glands constitute the essential feature of the disease.For the illustrations I am personally largely responsible, but I have had valuable assistance from the Resident Staff at the Great Northern Hospital and at the Children's Hospital, Pad dingtou Green, who have very kindly taken photographs of cases for me. For the skiagram (fig. 2) I am indebted to my friend Mr. A. D. Reid. For the specimen from which the photo graph of the mesentery in the Status Lympha tious was taken I am indebted to my friend Mr. Gay French.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Endocrine Therapeutics Practical Suggestions Our recently gained knowledge of the endocrine glands, their secretions and their functions, has opened up entirely new vistas of life and its con trolling directing mechanism. This knowledge is, of course, rudimwtary, but already we perceive a new science of therapeutics, physiological and rational in its conceptions and actions this new science fulfils also the original meaning of thera peutic in that it includes the prevention as well as the cure of disease, the way of health, the way of life versus death. Of late years we have been worshipping the power of the will, and have been concentrating perhaps too much on the develop ment of that power often it must be confessed, with happy results. In domg this we have been tempted to neglect the marvellous power and scope of the vegetative system. Our will directs our movements, and to a large extent our thoughts and actions, but the great laboratory work of life, silent and almost unseen, is carried on Outside will and even outside consciousness.

Download or read book The Sex Complex written by William Blair Bell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sex-Complex: A Study of the Relationships of the Internal Secretions to the Female Characteristics and Functions in Health and Disease This small monograph is based on the subject matter of several previous communications - the Arris and Gale Lectures, delivered before the Royal College of Surgeons, England, in 1913; the paper with which a discussion was opened at the Royal Society of Medicine in the same year, and other contributions bearing on this subject, including, by the kind permission of the Editors and Messrs. Macmillan 85 Co., a small portion of the articles on The Disorders of Function written for the New System of Gynaecology. In the Arris and Gale Lectures probably the first definite attempt was made to demonstrate that the reproductive functions are directed and controlled by all the organs of internal secretion acting in conjunction, rather than by the gonads alone, as formerly thought. Earlier investigators had adduced evidence, it is true, of a connexion between the genital organs and some of the distant hormonopoietic glands but the observations made do not appear to have led to the conclusion that the association is not incidental, but, rather, that it indicates the existence of a definite genital system, in which probably all the internal secretions play a part.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practitioner, Vol. 94: January-June, 1915 The functions of the various endocrinic glands, their influence in health and their responsibilities for disease, is a subject which is daily attaining to an ever increasing importance. The interest attaching to the subject is not only physiological and experimental, but in a very special degree clinical, and it is incumbent upon everyone who practises medicine and surgery to keep himself as far as possible in touch with the progress which is being made in this department. To assist our readers in this direction, we determined to gather into a Special number something like an epitome of the present day knowledge of the various questions involved. So vast, however, was the field to be covered that one special number was found to be insufficient, and the material had to be divided into two parts. As will be seen from the contents on the front cover, the February issue will be a continuation of the present one.
