Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Bacteriology and Pathology of Two Hundred and Twenty Fatal Cases of Diphtheria AS a rule the autopsies in our cases were made a short while after death and the tissues were in a good state of preservation. All tissues were rejected for histological ex amination in which there-appeared to be any post mortem change. At the autopsy, routine bacteriological examina tions were made from the throat, lungs, heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and lymph nodes, though this was modified in certain cases. While, in the main, the results Obtained from these routine examinations can be regarded as correct, there is no doubt that certain organisms Often were overlooked.

This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bacteriology and Pathology of Diphtheria When the dose is small and the animal lives several weeks the paralysis which belongs to the disease may develop. This phenomenon, first observed in animals by Roux and Yersin, was noticed among our animals. Interesting changes have been described in the peripheral nerves under these condi tions by Sidney Martin. In some cases he observed defects in the myeline sheaths, which stained poorly in osmic acid, while in certain severe cases the sheaths had entirely disappeared. The axis cylinders were either intact or had undergone granular degeneration, and the continuity of some of the fibres had become broken. At times the muscles supplied by these nerves showed signs of fatty degeneration. These changes agree with those found by Gombault, Meyer, Leyden and Arnheim in human beings who had suffered from diphtheritic paralysis. Albuminuria is a not infrequent complication of the disease.

Download or read book Adverse Effects of Pertussis and Rubella Vaccines written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents have come to depend on vaccines to protect their children from a variety of diseases. Some evidence suggests, however, that vaccination against pertussis (whooping cough) and rubella (German measles) is, in a small number of cases, associated with increased risk of serious illness. This book examines the controversy over the evidence and offers a comprehensively documented assessment of the risk of illness following immunization with vaccines against pertussis and rubella. Based on extensive review of the evidence from epidemiologic studies, case histories, studies in animals, and other sources of information, the book examines: The relation of pertussis vaccines to a number of serious adverse events, including encephalopathy and other central nervous system disorders, sudden infant death syndrome, autism, Guillain-Barre syndrome, learning disabilities, and Reye syndrome. The relation of rubella vaccines to arthritis, various neuropathies, and thrombocytopenic purpura. The volume, which includes a description of the committee's methods for evaluating evidence and directions for future research, will be important reading for public health officials, pediatricians, researchers, and concerned parents.
Download or read book Science the Endless Frontier written by Vannevar Bush and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic case for why government must support science—with a new essay by physicist and former congressman Rush Holt on what democracy needs from science today Science, the Endless Frontier is recognized as the landmark argument for the essential role of science in society and government’s responsibility to support scientific endeavors. First issued when Vannevar Bush was the director of the US Office of Scientific Research and Development during the Second World War, this classic remains vital in making the case that scientific progress is necessary to a nation’s health, security, and prosperity. Bush’s vision set the course for US science policy for more than half a century, building the world’s most productive scientific enterprise. Today, amid a changing funding landscape and challenges to science’s very credibility, Science, the Endless Frontier resonates as a powerful reminder that scientific progress and public well-being alike depend on the successful symbiosis between science and government. This timely new edition presents this iconic text alongside a new companion essay from scientist and former congressman Rush Holt, who offers a brief introduction and consideration of what society needs most from science now. Reflecting on the report’s legacy and relevance along with its limitations, Holt contends that the public’s ability to cope with today’s issues—such as public health, the changing climate and environment, and challenging technologies in modern society—requires a more capacious understanding of what science can contribute. Holt considers how scientists should think of their obligation to society and what the public should demand from science, and he calls for a renewed understanding of science’s value for democracy and society at large. A touchstone for concerned citizens, scientists, and policymakers, Science, the Endless Frontier endures as a passionate articulation of the power and potential of science.
