Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medical Clinics of North America, Vol. 6: January, 1923 Let us realize first that hypertension in itself is not a disease entity, but a change which occurs with various disturbances. In one group - certainly for a time - we may not be able to find evidence of any actual disease, and to the cases of this group the designation of hyperpiesis, or essential hypertension, has been applied. At present we are not concerned with this question primarily, but with some Of the problems of hypertension with nephritis. It is always interesting to watch an alteration in opinion, and this has occurred to a considerable extent in the views held as to the relation between hypertension and nephritis, and hyper tension. I remember a medical meeting in which the View was put forward that hypertension was not necessarily due to neph ritis. In the discussion no one agreed with this view; if the pa tient did not have nephritis he was in the prenephritic stage of it. In the journals recently you have noted articles in which the view is held that in some cases hypertension is primary and the nephritis a secondary affair. This shows that there has been a wide swing Of Opinion and no doubt some of you are puzzled to know what view of the question is the proper one to take. First, let us state the problem as concerns nephritis and the changes in the circulation which accompany or result from it.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...to starvation it was decided to take the child on a forty-eight-hour auto trip, so that he would not see any food except his broth and orange-juice; 6 ounces of broth were given every three hours and a tablespoonful of orange-juice night and morning. The amusement afiorded by the trip, together with the fact that the child neither saw nor smelled food other than his own, served to lighten the task of diet restriction. At the end of the second twenty-four-hour period the urine amounted to 500 c.c. and upon examination showed no sugar, diatetic acid, or acetone; the child was apparently none the worse for the starvation. His weight was pound less than before the fast was begun. According to various observers a. child at the age of two years requires approximately 80 calories for each kilogram of weight during a twenty-four-hour period, and an attempt was made to provide a diet for this child that would keep the urine sugar, diacetic acid, and acetone free, and provide the largest number of calories. During the third twenty-four-hour period the determination of carbohydrate tolerance was begun by the feeding of 5 per cent. vegetables in the form of cabbage, spinach, and lettuce leaves. The child was less irritable, yet the task of restricting the diet was a most diflicult one. The vegetables were thrice boiled, thereby lessening the amount of carbohydrate taken and increasing the bulk. The danger of causing gastro-intestinal disturbances was lessened by passing the vegetables through a flour sieve, and no intestinal upset was encountered; 150 grams of 5 per cent. vegetables, when thrice boiled, were calculated as having but 3 per cent. of carbohydrate or 5 grams of carbohydate, and each day 5 grams of carbohydrate were added until sugar...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medical Clinics of North America, Vol. 5: March, 1922 My views evidently differ from those of my fellow editor of the Oxford Medicine. The views of Sir James Mackenzie. As outlined in the above quotations from him, have been con curred ih by numerous observers, with the result that there is a growing feeling that. Unless the pulse is absolutely irregular and rapid, little is to be gained from digitalis therapy. My own experience is so directly contrary to this that it seems worth while to restate the views already expressed by me in the quoted article and to support them with further data.

Download or read book Hard Times and New Deal in Kentucky written by George T. Blakey and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Depression and the New Deal touched the lives of almost every Kentuckian during the 1930s. Fifty years later the Commonwealth is still affected by the legacies of that era and the policies of the Roosevelt administration. George T. Blakey has written the first full study of this turbulent decade in Kentucky, and he offers a fresh perspective on the New Deal programs by viewing them from the local and state level rather than from Washington. Thousands of Kentuckians worked for New Deal programs such as the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Projects Administration; thousands more kept their homes through loans from the Home Owners Loan Corporation. Tobacco growers adopted new production techniques and rural farms received their first electricity because of the Agricultural Adjustment and Rural Electrification administrations. The New Deal stretched from the Harlan County coal mines to a TVA dam near Paducah, and it encompassed subjects as small as Social Security pension checks and as large as revived Bourbon distilleries. The impact of these phenomena on Kentucky was both beneficial and disruptive, temporary and enduring. Blakey analyzes the economic effects of this unprecedented and massive government spending to end the depression. He also discusses the political arena in which Governors Laffoon, Chandler, and Johnson had to wrestle with new federal rules. And he highlights social changes the New Deal brought to the Commonwealth: accelerated urbanization, enlightened land use, a lessening of state power and individualism, and a greater awareness of Kentucky history. Hard Times and New Deal weaves together private memories of older Kentuckians and public statements of contemporary politicians; it includes legislative debates and newspaper accounts, government statistics and personal reminiscences. The result is a balanced and fresh look at the patchwork of emergency and reform activities which many people loved, many others hated, but no one could ignore.
Download or read book Medicine Preserving the Passion written by Phil R. Manning and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Medicine: Preserving the Passion, Phil R. Manning, a pioneer and recognized authority in continuing medical education, and Lois DeBakey, a passionate advocate of critical reasoning and leading scholar in scientific communication, endeavor to shift the focus in lifelong learning from group exercises in a lecture hall to self-directed, practice-related activities. Al though most experts have applauded this new concept, few publications have addressed methods for implementation. The Manning-DeBakey book describes such methods as devised by outstanding clinicians and acade micians to obtain educational benefit from their clinical experience. Some techniques inspired by quality assurance, for example, these master cli nicians have used successfully to improve their knowledge, skills, and patient care. This book not only identifies the primary concerns in con tinuing medical education, but also offers sound recommendations and effective solutions and suggests future directions and approaches. The authors have analyzed the continuing educational practices of phy sicians in a wide range of environments, from small communities to the most acclaimed medical centers, and have extracted additional advice from the writings of past authorities like Osler. The resulting concepts will un doubtedly attract wide public attention. Office practice audit, self-directed learning, case indexing, patient education, computer-assisted education, and collegial networks, as well as regular reading, writing, and teaching, are among the successful methods described by physicians and surgeons who exemplify the highest standards of medical practice.

Download or read book Cigarette Wars written by Cassandra Tate and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2000-06-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an age when the cigarette industry is under almost constant attack. Few weeks pass without yet another report on the hazards of smoking, or news of another anti-cigarette lawsuit, or more restrictions on cigarette sales, advertising, or use. It's somewhat surprising, then, that very little attention has been given to the fact that America has traveled down this road before. Until now, that is. As Cassandra Tate reports in this fascinating work of historical scholarship, between 1890 and 1930, fifteen states enacted laws to ban the sale, manufacture, possession, and/or use of cigarettes--and no fewer than twenty-two other states considered such legislation. In presenting the history of America's first conflicts with Big Tobacco, Tate draws on a wide range of newspapers, magazines, trade publications, rare pamphlets, and many other manuscripts culled from archives across the country. Her thorough and meticulously researched volume is also attractively illustrated with numerous photographs, posters, and cartoons from this bygone era. Readers will find in Cigarette Wars an engagingly written and well-told tale of the first anti-cigarette movement, dating from the Victorian Age to the Great Depression, when cigarettes were both legally restricted and socially stigmatized in America. Progressive reformers and religious fundamentalists came together to curb smoking, but their efforts collapsed during World War I, when millions of soldiers took up the habit and cigarettes began to be associated with freedom, modernity, and sophistication. Importantly, Tate also illustrates how supporters of the early anti-cigarette movement articulated virtually every issue that is still being debated about smoking today; theirs was not a failure of determination, she argues in these pages, but of timing. A compelling narrative about several clashing American traditions--old vs. young, rural vs. urban, and the late nineteenth vs. early twentieth centuries--this work will appeal to all who are interested in America's love-hate relationship with what Henry Ford once called "the little white slaver."
Download or read book America and the Armenian Genocide of 1915 written by Jay Winter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-08 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Rwanda and Bosnia, and before the Holocaust, the first genocide of the twentieth century happened in Turkish Armenia in 1915, when approximately one million people were killed. This volume is an account of the American response to this atrocity. The first part sets up the framework for understanding the genocide: Sir Martin Gilbert, Vahakn Dadrian and Jay Winter provide an analytical setting for nine scholarly essays examining how Americans learned of this catastrophe and how they tried to help its victims. Knowledge and compassion, though, were not enough to stop the killings. A terrible precedent was born in 1915, one which has come to haunt the United States and other Western countries throughout the twentieth century and beyond. To read the essays in this volume is chastening: the dilemmas Americans faced when confronting evil on an unprecedented scale are not very different from the dilemmas we face today.
