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.

Excerpt: ... in some cases, bronchophonic and pectoriloquous in others. In these cases the heart must be carefully examined for signs of pressure on the right side, pulsation in the lower sternal region, the apex beat being obscured. bronchiectasis, or dilatation of the bronchi, occurs as a result of chronic bronchitis and asthma, where the tubal structure has suffered from atrophy of the mucous coat and thickening of the fibrous layers. It is produced by inhalation of irritating particles of dust, fluff, wool, iron, clay, and stone; and it gives rise to forms of disease named according to the special trade by which it is induced--as knife-grinder's rot, filer's phthisis, &c. Symptoms.--Much dyspnoea and expectoration, the sputa being plentiful, opaque and purulent; cyanosis is usually present, the right ventricle of the heart being eccentrically enlarged. Pathology.--The bronchial tubes are found much thickened, irregularly pouched and dilated; alveolar walls thick, white and emphysematous. Sometimes the upper lobe is in a condition of alveolar thickening, the air-sacs irregularly dilated; while in the lower parts may be found old congestive patches of pigmented thick fibroid tissue, indicative of partial lobular congestions and haemorrhage. Occasionally dilatation of the tubes is observed in compressed portions of the lungs, in empyema or pleuritic effusions. It happens especially in those chronic cases where the fluid has been evacuated by natural or artificial means. A compressed lung is very loth to expand, and if the external pressure be removed the tubes will yield to the internal force of the atmosphere, and it is common to find this pouching near an empyema. Signs.--Inspection observes depression of the intercostal spaces with fixity, and...

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 attempted to omit everything not of practical diagnostic use, and to condense 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. We have endeavored to teach as much as possible by means of illustrations. Of these, many are photographs of frozen sections from the cadaver, previously hardened in formalin, so that the anatomic relations of the tissues remain as during life. We have found these specimens invaluable in our own teaching; and the book has been written in the hope that the photographic reproductions of our sections may be useful to others. We take pleasure in acknowledging our great indebtedness to Dr. George Fetterolf for the frozen sections; to Dr. J. Claxton Gittings for assistance in the preparation of the Section on Pediatrics; to Dr. Edward B. Krumbhaar for the Chapter dealing with the electrocardiogram; to Professor Richard Geigel, and to Dr. Charles M. Montgomery, from whose articles upon acoustics in diagnosis, much information has been gleaned. We are also indebted to Miss Eleanor A. Cantner for the production of some of our drawings. We are further under obligations to Professor William M. L. Coplin for permission to photograph numerous specimens in the Museum of Pathology of the Jefferson Medical College, as well as to Dr. David R. Bowen and to Dr. Henry K. Pancoast for our radiograms.
