Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Diseases of the Nervous SystemThe object-lens should have a focal distance of about two inches, and it should be held so as to bring the focus on the pupil. The lamp is placed behind and a little to one side of the eye to be examined. In order to see the optic disk, the patient is told to look at the ear of the observer on the side opposite to the eye being examined. In this way the axis of vision is directed inward, and the optic disk readily brought into view.These examinations are made in a room lighted only by the lamp used in the processes. It is sometimes necessary to dilate the pupil with atropia, in order to obtain a view of the disk, but experience and tact will generally enable the observer to dispense with this rather dio agreeable procedure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: "The absence from English medical literature of a comprehensive, practical work on mental diseases--one adapted to the needs of the busy practitioner as well as to those of the student of psychiatry--has led the writer to prepare this treatise embodying a consideration of all the principal forms of psychical disturbance. Although it is evident, from the intrinsic nature of the subject, that such an attempt can be only partially successful, it is to be hoped that the book will add something to the certain knowledge of the practitioner, and render more accessible what has been heretofore almost an unknown territory of medicine"--Preface.

CHAPTER XXVIII. CATALEPSY. "we shall now pass to the study of the spasmodic affections which are due to irritation of the brain or cord, and shall first take up the consideration of catalepsy, one of the most interesting of these neuroses. Catalepsy is an intermittent neurosis, characterized by a complete or partial abolition of consciousness and sensibility, with abolition of voluntary motion, and persistence of the position in which the limbs are found at the commencement of the attack, or of the attitudes in which they are artificially placed, until they finally yield to the action of the force of gravity. Catalepsy is not, properly speaking, an independent disease, but merely one symptom of various affections of the nervous system. But the peculiar character of its manifestations has induced the majority of authors to treat of it as a distinct morbid entity. Our knowledge of the anatomical lesions in catalepsy is extremely imperfect, since a fatal termination is exceedingly rare. In two cases inflammatory exudations or alterations were found in certain central organs. We shall refer to them in detail in the discussion upon the nature of catalepsy. The first case was published by Schwartz (Rigaer Beitr. zur Heilk., 1857, Bd. IV., p. 118), and occurred in a boy, seven years of age, who was seized with persistent gastric pains after the receipt of an injury. These were superseded, upon the eighteenth day of the disease, by choreiform phenomena, attended with disorders of sight and abolition of speech. These symptoms ceased at the end of six weeks, and were followed by gastralgia, constriction of the pharynx, and asthmatic symptoms; this condition had terminated at the end of the seventh week, and a catalep...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Nervous Diseases of Children: For Physicians and Students A little more than two years ago a fellow-neurologist suggested to the author that it would be well for him to write a treatise on the Nervous Affections of Childhood, which would give both the physician and the student fuller information regarding these diseases than is to be obtained from text-books on pediatrics. The first conception of what such a treatise ought to be was a very modest one, but the task has grown upon the author's hands until the book assumed its present propor tions. It was thought best to include all those diseases which either occur frequently during early life, or which, when occurring at this period, have some distinctive feat ures. According to this plan such affections as epilepsy, tumors of the brain, and meningitis, which occur both in adult life and in childhood, have been treated fully, but tabes dorsalis and general paresis, although observed occasion ally in youthful individuals, did not seem to come within the scope of this treatise.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Clinical Treatise on the Diseases of the Nervous System, Vol. 2 Infantile paralysis was described as early as the last century by Under wood (treatise on the Diseases of Children, London, erroneously considered it to be an idiopathic paralysis, and Duchenne de scribed it under the name of fatty atrophic paralysis of childhood. It usual] begins suddenly. After one or several attacks of fever, accomo panicfi by general symptoms of irritation (insomnia, convulsions, delirium, cries), but usually without disturbance of the intelligence, the parents or attendants notice, to their great surprise, when lifting the child, that he has been seized with paralysis during the night. The acute period only continues a short time, and is often entirely unnoticed. The ral 818 then becomes evident, and frequently extends to the trunk and lim Eat it soon leaves the upper parts of the body, and remains permanent in one or two limbs, or only in certain groups of muscles. This circumscribed paralysis usual] involves one of the upper or lower limbs. In the upper imbs the muse es afiected, by preference, are the extensors of the arm or forearm and fingers; in the ower limbs they are the extensor of the thigh (psoas), but much more frequent] the muscles innervated by the peroneal nerve, or the triceps muscle. Gpinal infantile paral sis may as sume the form of paraplegia, and very rare] of hemiplegia the latter is almost always of cerebral origin). It may also affect the foot and hand upon opposite sides, or the muscles of the trunk (with secondary lateral curvature of the s inal column). In very rare instances, as in the follow ing observation, the paralysis occurs in both upper limbs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Acute and Chronic Diseases of the Neck of the Uterus I shall not here discuss the moral differences between a diagnosis made by the operation of touching, and a metroscopio one. Either of them is bad enough, in itself considered; but as neither of them could be sup posed possible, except out of some direful necessity of the patient, and as the one is not essentially more revolt ing to the feelings of the sufferer than the other, it ap pears to me that the argument is as valid against the one as the other. No one will deny that the delicacy of those relations that exist between medical people and their female patients, opposes, in a variety of cases, an insuperable barrier against any successful treatment whatever, for there are found individuals so fastidious as to prefer pain, disease, and even death itself, to any revelation concerning their disorders. Some women, who do not object to relate the history of their diseased sensations, compel us to rest satisfied with such barren histories as they themselves can give.

This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental guide to the most effective treatments for Parkinson's Disease, from a Mayo Clinic doctor with thirty years of clinical and research experience. In this second edition follow-up to the extremely successful first edition, Dr. Ahlskog draws on thirty years of clinical experience to present the definitive guide to dealing with all aspects of Parkinson's Disease, from treatment options and side effects to the impact of the disease on caregivers and family. Dr. Ahlskog's goal is to educate patients so that they can better team up with their doctors to do battle with the disease, streamlining the decision-making process and enhancing their treatment. To do this, Dr. Ahlskog offers a gold mine of information, distilled from his years of experience treating people with Parkinson's at the Mayo Clinic. In addition to providing a comprehensive account of Parkinson's medications, this book also examines additional aspects of treatment, such as the role of nutrition, exercise, and physical therapy. Although many commendable texts have been written on the subject of Parkinson's Disease, their discussions of treatment have not been in depth. Dr. Ahlskog sifts through aspects of the disease in order to give the reader a comprehensive sense of Parkinson's and the best available treatment options. With a broader understanding of the disease and the available options, patients are able to make more informed choices, and doctors are able to provide more tailored care. This book delivers hopeful, helpful, and extensive information to all parties concerned: patients, caregivers, and doctors. The ultimate guide to symptoms and treatment, this thoroughly updated second edition is the first place patients should turn for reliable, easy-to-grasp information on Parkinson's Disease.

Book excerpt: It is thus with regard to the disease called Sacred: it appears to me to be nowise more divine nor more sacred than other diseases, but has a natural cause from the originates like other affections. Men regard its nature and cause as divine from ignorance and wonder, because it is not at all like to other diseases. And this notion of its divinity is kept up by their inability to comprehend it, and the simplicity of the mode by which it is cured, for men are freed from it by purifications and incantations. But if it is reckoned divine because it is wonderful, instead of one there are many diseases which would be sacred; for, as I will show, there are others no less wonderful and prodigious, which nobody imagines to be sacred. The quotidian, tertian, and quartan fevers, seem to me no less sacred and divine in their origin than this disease, although they are not reckoned so wonderful. And I see men become mad and demented from no manifest cause, and at the same time doing many things out of place; and I have known many persons in sleep groaning and crying out, some in a state of suffocation, some jumping up and fleeing out of doors, and deprived of their reason until they awaken, and afterward becoming well and rational as before, although they be pale and weak; and this will happen not once but frequently. And there are many and various things of the like kind, which it would be tedious to state particularly. They who first referred this malady to the gods appear to me to have been just such persons as the conjurors, purificators, mountebanks, and charlatans now are, who give themselves out for being excessively religious, and as knowing more than other people. Such persons, then, using the divinity as a pretext and screen of their own inability to of their own inability to afford any assistance, have given out that the disease is sacred, adding suitable reasons for this opinion, they have instituted a mode of treatment which is safe for themselves, namely, by applying purifications and incantations, and enforcing abstinence from baths and many articles of food which are unwholesome to men in diseases. Of sea substances, the surmullet, the blacktail, the mullet, and the eel; for these are the fishes most to be guarded against. And of fleshes, those of the goat, the stag, the sow, and the dog: for these are the kinds of flesh which are aptest to disorder the bowels. Of fowls, the cock, the turtle, and the bustard, and such others as are reckoned to be particularly strong. And of potherbs, mint, garlic, and onions; for what is acrid does not agree with a weak person. And they forbid to have a black robe, because black is expressive of death; and to sleep on a goat’s skin, or to wear it, and to put one foot upon another, or one hand upon another; for all these things are held to be hindrances to the cure. All these they enjoin with reference to its divinity, as if possessed of more knowledge, and announcing beforehand other causes so that if the person should recover, theirs would be the honor and credit; and if he should die, they would have a certain defense, as if the gods, and not they, were to blame, seeing they had administered nothing either to eat or drink as medicines, nor had overheated him with baths, so as to prove the cause of what had happened. But I am of opinion that (if this were true) none of the Libyans, who live in the interior, would be free from this disease, since they all sleep on goats’ skins, and live upon goats’ flesh; neither have they couch, robe, nor shoe that is not made of goat’s skin, for they have no other herds but goats and oxen. But if these things, when administered in food, aggravate the disease, and if it be cured by abstinence from them, godhead is not the cause at all; nor will purifications be of any avail, but it is the food which is beneficial and prejudicial, and the influence of the divinity vanishes.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1810 edition. Excerpt: ... washing rather promotes mange; and it is often the cause of canker. In these cases, rubbing dry with a brush and bran is better. Bathing in warm or hot water is of the greatest service in many cases of disease. Plunging into cold water commonly brings a dog instantly out of a fit, and afterwards bathing in warm water prevents the return. Bathing in hot water subdues or lessens most inflammations, and is the best means of overcoming obstinate costiveness. WORMING. Worming of dogs is practised for two purposes, and T)oth of them erroneously. The one is to prevent them from going mad; or, when mad, from biting; the other to cure them of gnawing improper substances. It has been said, and is much believed, that when a dog has been wormed, provided he afterwards goes mad, he cannot bite; but worming can be no preventive. See Madness. The mouth, in some cases of madness, may become so swelled, that the dog cannot close his jaws; but this may happen in a wormed or umvoraed dog equally. Worming does not prevent gnawing but as it makes the mouth sore; hence as soon as that is well, the dog returns to his old habits; perhaps not in an equal degree quite, for, if it has been harshly done, he gets something older before it is well. I therefore conceive this a very useless practice, and one that will wear away with a greater knowledge of the proper treatment of this animal. WORMS. There is Bo complaint, distemper excepted, that destroys so many dogs as worms: almost every dog has them at some period of his life, and many have them always. There are several kinds of worms that affect dogs. The tape worm is a common kind; and it is not an unusual circumstance for a puppy to pass four or five hundred joints of these worms, whose united length would...
