Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report on Hospital Gangrene, Erysipelas and Pyaemia, 1863: As Observed in the Departments of the Ohio and the Cumberland, With Cases Appended Sir - The investigations which have been conducted in this city in relation to hospital gangrene, erysipelas, ichorrhaemia, thrombus, metastatic abcess (pyaemia, ) diphtheria, and gangrenous scarlatina, have had for their objects to ascertain: First, the nature of the causes operating to the production of the diseases; Secondly, the nature of the process set in motion; Thirdly, the prophylactic and curative agents. The affections just named are, in some of their aspects, so intimately united on the points touched in these investigations that it is impossible to disunite them for the purpose of description. The opportunities presented in the Military Hospitals of this city for the study of some of these diseases have been great, especially so in regard to hospital gangrene. For the study of diphtheria and scarlatina, except in connection with wounds, the occasions have not been numerous in these hospitals, the cases having been isolated and few. Indeed more cases have occurred in private than in public practice. Enough, however, have been observed to justify the conclusions expressed in the following pages. The report of the cases of scarlatina and diphtheria will form the subject of a separate paper. Hospital gangrene, erysipelas, gangrenous diphtheria, and scarlatina, viewed as local diseases, present, on careful study, many points of resemblance; nor are they unlike in the constitutional states wedded to them. These resemblances are marked. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Learning from the Wounded written by Shauna Devine and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-03-17 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly two-thirds of the Civil War's approximately 750,000 fatalities were caused by disease--a staggering fact for which the American medical profession was profoundly unprepared. In the years before the war, training for physicians in the United States was mostly unregulated, and medical schools' access to cadavers for teaching purposes was highly restricted. Shauna Devine argues that in spite of these limitations, Union army physicians rose to the challenges of the war, undertaking methods of study and experimentation that would have a lasting influence on the scientific practice of medicine. Though the war's human toll was tragic, conducting postmortems on the dead and caring for the wounded gave physicians ample opportunity to study and develop new methods of treatment and analysis, from dissection and microscopy to new research into infectious disease processes. Examining the work of doctors who served in the Union Medical Department, Devine sheds new light on how their innovations in the midst of crisis transformed northern medical education and gave rise to the healing power of modern health science.

This book was released on 2003-06-05 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an absorbing account of the continuing battle to control hospital infections, from the earliest days of hospital care when bad air or miasma was thought to be the cause, to the present day and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant 'superbugs' such as MRSA and necrotizing fasciitis. It succeeds on many levels: as a fascinating social history of hospital care from mediaeval times, when patients endured verminous conditions, to the present day; as a survey of the rise, fall and emergence of new nosocomial infections; and as a chronological account of the emergence of medical microbiology and infection control. The pivotal roles of key personalities such as Joseph Lister, Florence Nightingale, Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch are highlighted, and the history of this subject illuminates not only why hospitals and infections have had such an intimate and long relationship but one that seems destined to continue well into the future.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1863 edition. Excerpt: ...the different modifications in the use of bromine, and to give the reader some idea of the general development of the clinical processes elsewhere recommended. Wilbur F. Nichols, corporal company B, 34th Illinois, was admitted into Ward No. 1, Hospital No. 7, January 15th, 1863, having a flesh wound upon the inner aspect of the left leg, in its lower third. The wound was made by a minie ball, had its aperture of entrance separated from that of exit by a piece of integument about two inches in width. The wound was superficial. The edges had a contused and purple appearance. January 20th, well marked hospital gangrene made its appearance. The first application made was lint saturated with liq. chlor. soda. This application was continued for some days, with slight improvement in the cleanliness of the wound. The latter was covered with large, greyish, pulpy sloughs, and a scrofulous looking pus, emitting a foul odor; it is about five inches in length in its largest diameter. The tendons are to be plainly seen, as well as the internal saphena, exposed, indurated, filled with coagulated blood, and sloughing throughout the whole extent of the ulcer. The tibia and fibula are bare, the former for two and a-half inches. Constitutional symptoms are prostration, restlessness, sleeplessness, and loss of appetite. The local treatment has been, up to date February 10th, mur. tinct. ferri, charcoal, and cinchona poultices, tar water, and dilute nitric acid. Constitutional treatment has consisted of wine, quinine, egg-nog, and generous diet. This morning, on removing the dressings, an arterial jet followed, which was stopped by torsion. There seems now nothing left but amputation. Although the patient is willing to submit, the operation holds out but...

Download or read book Christopher H Tebault Surgeon to the Confederacy written by Alan I. West and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the top physicians of the Confederacy, Christopher H. Tebault distinguished himself as a surgeon during the Civil War. Recognized for his medical contributions after the war, he was nominated Surgeon General of the United Confederate Veterans, a position he used to compile the history of Confederate medicine, advocate for veterans and contribute to Southern literature. A staunch "Lost Cause" proponent, he also fought Reconstruction policies and the enfranchisement of former slaves. Drawing on his own writings, this first biography of Tebault describes his notable medical education in New Orleans and the ingenuity he used to treat wounds and illness, as well as his struggles against Reconstruction policies, situating his story in the problematic context of Confederate history that persists today.
