Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Malarial Fevers and Malarial Parasites in IndiaSo much has been written on the subject of Malaria in the past few years that one feels it is necessary to make some apology for adding to the already very extensive literature on the subject. Celli, in his very valuable book on Malaria, gives a good account of Malarial fevers in Italy. Manson, who has probably done more than any other man to stimulate enquirers to make investigations into the nature and causation of Malarial fevers, has given a very excellent account of these fevers in his book on Tropical Diseases. Ross, Christophers, Stephens and others have described the Malarial fevers of the West Coast of Africa, but no one has, as far as I am aware, given a complete account of the Malarial fevers of India.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The subject is a vast one, and anything like a comprehensive critical examination of it cannot be attempted within the narrow limits of a preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Malarial Fevers of Baltimore: An Analysis of 616 Cases of Malarial Fever, With Special Reference to the Relations Existing Between Different Types of Haematozoa and Different Types of Fever During the five years between-june 14th, 1889, and August Ist, 1894, 616 cases of malarial fever were treated in the wards ahd in the medical out - patient department of the Johns Hopkins Hospital. In a considerable number of cases occurring in the out patient department, hasty or Insufficient examinations of the blood failed to Show the specific micro - organisms, while in other instances examination of the blood was omitted on account of lack of time. Most of these cases are classified in the hospital records as malarial fever they have not been included in our analysis. Excepting two or three instances where the patients entered the hospital during convalescence, the specific micro-organism was found in every case of malarial fever treated in the wards. The writers of this article have observed practically all the cases here classified after October, 1890. In a number of those observed before this time careful notes or drawings were made, which enabled us to draw definite conclusions with regard to the type of the organism. In other cases, however, the entries upon the records were so vague that, while the charts might justify a more or less decided opinion as to the nature of the infection, we have not included them among those cases Where the type was definitely differentiated. As a result of our observations, we believe that we have been able to recognize certain distinct types of parasites which appear to be related in turn to certain almost equally characteristic types of fever. It is the principal object of this paper to determine by a careful analysis of all of our cases in how far our impressions may be justified, and to compare our results with those of the numerous recent observers in this and in other countries. We have prefaced our analysis by an historical summary of the more important literature concerning the malarial parasite.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Malarial Fevers: For Domestic Use This little book on Malarial Fevers is written in plain language, (avoiding all technical terms, ) in order that the non-professional man may understand how to manage the common forms of fevers of the South. I do not claim any, originality in the ideas set forth, nor is there anything novel; but having had much experience in the treatment of malarial diseases, and knowing of no work exclusively on fevers, for domestic use, and. Moreover recognizing the fact that fully three-fourths of the sickness of this country is malarial, and easily managed when thor oughly understood, - for these and other reasons, - I propose to record all the essential facts in reference to Malaria and its influence on the human system, its cause, symptoms, treatment, and the best mode of prevention. Also describing the pulse, temperature, (use of thermometer, ) respiration, etc., etc. A chapter is devoted to the symptoms and treatment of convulsions of children, occurring during an attack of fever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address on Malarial Fever: Delivered Before the Cleveland Medical Society The general idea which was held concerning the manner of entrance of the infectious agent into the organism is reflected by the popular term which has since become definitely attached to the disease. The word ma laria is nothing more than the Italian expression mal' aria - bad air. But these older ideas concerning the animate nature of the virus of ma laria gave way gradually, especially during the early part of this century, to the theory that the parasite was of vegetable origin, this view having been especially put forward by Mitchell and Salisbury in this country.

Download or read book Malaria and Greek History Classic Reprint written by W. H. S. Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-26 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Malaria and Greek History This book is an attempt to correct and develop the theory proposed tentatively in the little work Malaria. Put briefly, this theory is as follows. In the struggle for-existence man has competed, not only with his fellow-men, but also with wild animals and disease parasites. The fight against beasts was decided long before the historic period, but parasites have always been, and still are, formidable opponents. Whole tribes have been wiped out by plague, kala-azar and measles; and even when the disease-parasite does not win such a decisive victory, it often weakens a nation so much that the latter falls an easy victim to its healthier neighbours. Accordingly I have tried to show how malaria played a part in the decline of the ancient Greeks. Dr. E. T. Withington tells me that the malaria theory explains a great difficulty in the history of Greek medicine, and upon this point he has written a short essay which appears at the end of the volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Malaria as Seen at Montauk IN considering the types of malaria seen in the hospital at Camp Wikoff it may be well to note that all the many cases there had one point in common one point of difference from any ordinary series of malarial infections - they were all old cases; almost without exception the fever had been contracted in the vicinity of Santiago. This fact probably explains why the remittent malarial fevers were so few, and why the course of the disease was so inconstant.

Download or read book The Estivo Autumnal Remittent written by Charles F. Craig and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Estivo Autumnal (Remittent): Malarial Fevers The reason for the preparation of this volume is given in the introduction. It deals with a much-neglected subject in the text-books upon medicine, and one which is of the utmost importance to the profession. It will be noticed that I have not considered the subject of hemoglobinuric fever at all. This is not an oversight on my part, but because I believe that in a work such as this the subject should be confined as much as possible. As the etiology of hemoglobinuric fever is still somewhat in doubt, and as there are many excellent treatises upon it, I have thought it best to ignore it entirely. My gratitude is due the Surgeon-General of the Army for the opportunities afforded me to study the malarial fevers. To Colonel A. A. Woodhull, Assistant Surgeon-General of the Army, Colonel William C. Forwood, Assistant Surgeon-General, United States Army, and to Major Charles Richard, Surgeon, United States Army, my thanks are due for encouragement and assistance. I desire to take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of, and thankfulness for, the uniform support and enthusiasm of Lieutenant-Colonel A. C. Girard, Deputy Surgeon-General of the United States Army, in the scientific study of disease, and the methods of making such study available. Without such cooperation much of this volume could not have been prepared. I have freely consulted the works of other investigators, and am particularly indebted to Marchiafava and Bignami, Thayer and Hewitson and Manson, for many valuable data and references. I have tried invariably to give credit where it is due. To my assistant. Dr. Jobling, I am indebted for the preparation of the index.

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.
