Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis He has described his new method of elastic tube percussion and endeavored to point out its advantages and limitations. He has also described more fully than can be usually found in works of this character the effect of advanced tuberculosis on the heart, also the contractions and compensatory emphysemas which occur on the part of the lung, in order to carry on the functions of respiration where one or both of these organs are seriously damaged. Tuberculosis is a disease caused by a specific micro-organism and like all such diseases it is cured by the establishment of immunity. This fact has been kept uppermost in mind in discussing the treatment of the disease. The author has endeavored to discuss clearly and impartially those measures which are of greatest value in bringing about improvement or cure. He has endeavored to define the possibilities of each measure and to Show its limitations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Early Pulmonary Tuberculosis written by John Bromham Hawes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Diagnosis, Prognosis and Treatment Tamas are plenty of large authoritative books about tuberculosis. There are plenty of small books which are not authoritative. Dr. Hawes has written a book which is small and yet authoritative. Therein lies its unique merit. Many of the points on which he expresses himself so frankly and tersely are hotly controverted points and he has not formed his Opinion without giving due consid eration to what is to be said upon all sides. In the end I think he has arrived at a set of beliefs expressing the best knowledge of the time. His wide and varied experi ence in the clinical management of tuberculous patients at the Massachusetts General Hospital is balanced by a ripe acquaintance with the social and institutional side of the tuberculosis problem. His position as secretary to the commission in charge of the four tuberculosis sanatoria maintained by the State of Massachusetts brings him into close touch with all of the problems relating to the sanatorium care of tuberculous patients. At the same time, he sees these institutions from without and from the standpoint of an active general practitioner. I feel sure that the book will be of use to many physicians.

Download or read book Tuberculin in Diagnosis and Treatment Classic Reprint written by Louis Hamman and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tuberculin in Diagnosis and Treatment The use of tuberculin in diagnosis and treatment has received wide attention during the past ten years. New methods of application in diagnosis have stimulated a keen interest to determine their value, and recent changes in attitude toward important questions bearing upon immunity have provoked extensive researches, undertaken to make clear its mode of action. Tuberculin treatment, sternly rejected after its unsuccessful introduction, has again become widely popular and discussion is waged as to its true value, the most desirable preparation and the best methods of administration. A voluminous literature has grown up, and from these innumerable contributions we are now in a position to filter off certain facts that have crystallized. About much we are still uncertain, but there is enough that is definite to permit us to take bearings for our practical course. While this literature is easily accessible, it is widely distributed and a large part of the best of it is in foreign languages. No satisfactory summary has appeared in English, and such a summary seems particularly desirable, as overstatements and misconceptions incident to early enthusiasm have stuck fast in the minds of many and have remained uncorrected by the overwhelming evidence of later investigations. In our experience there is a very general lack of knowledge of precisely what a reaction to tuberculin means, and of what account is the information gained from its use when applied to a particular instance. Numerous cases are still sent to us with a diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis based solely upon a positive cutaneous reaction, and in medical discussion one hears the most bizarre interpretations of the subcutaneous test. During the past five years we have used tuberculin largely, both in diagnosis and treatment, at the Phipps Dispensary of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the experience we have gained is made the basis of this presentation.

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.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... the day following the injection. We not infrequently have what we might term a secondary reaction coming on usually from three to five days after a dose has been given. This usually manifests itself by a slight temperature reaction and is sometimes accompanied by some of the slighter symptoms mentioned above. This is probably due to an autoinoculation of bacterial products from bacilli which have been destroyed as a result of the previous injection. That this explanation is probably correct may be inferred from the fact that if another injection of tuberculin be given at this time an increase of the reaction symptoms is apt to occur, showing that the dosage plus the amount of bacterial products of the autoinoculation taken together is too great a dose for the patient at the time. A dose should not be administered when such a secondary reaction is present. That this secondary reaction is not due to the "mobilization of bacilli" is proven by the fact that the temperature disappears at once. In fact, this "mobilization of bacilli" which was talked of so much by Virchow's followers is a myth when the remedies are used properly. I have given many thousands of injections and have never seen it occur. Moeller (Therapie der Lungenschwindsucht, Schroeder und Blumenfeld, page 246) also says that he has never seen it occur in 28,000 injections that he has given. There has been some discussion on this point, and like many Tuberculin be otners k still an open question. The objection to the use Used on a of tuberculin at such a time is based upon the belief that the Fever1? rise of temperature is due to an autointoxication due to tuber cle toxins being set free and being poured into the blood stream from the tuberculous focus.

The aim has been to make the book, not a treatise on hygiene and therapeutics, but a useful guide for those who have tuberculous patients under their care and are in search of practical counsel in the details of their management. With this end in view the funda mentals of treatment (in general, so illy under stood and applied) are discussed in much detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Embracing Its History, Pathology, and Treatment In the third part, I have considered the treatment of the dis ease. I have endeavored to show the importance of local treatment in the early stage of the affection, particularly in the chronic form, especially where follicular degeneration has preceded the development of tubercles in the lungs. Great pains were taken in the examination of the cases of phthisis which presented themselves for treatment. Of 558 cases of phthisis that came under my observation, 311 were males and 247 females. Of this number, 377 had disease in the right lung, and 234 in the left. Of the females (247) 147 were first diseased in the right lung, and 100 in the left. In the treatment of a large number of cases during many years of observation, about the same proportion in the nature of the lesion and in its location was remarked. Hence, the plan of treatment I have recommended, was adopted, and has been carried out during a period of over twenty-five years.
