Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Diseases of the Nervous System The 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.

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.

This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 544 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following book is an advertorial written for Lydia Pinkham's Remedies—a herbal-alcoholic "women's tonic" for menstrual and menopausal problems. Interestingly enough, though medical experts dismissed it as a quack remedy, the products are still on sale today in a modified form. This advertorial is one part of the aggressive marketing technique that her brand is known for. Long, promotional copy would dramatize "women's weakness", "hysteria" and other themes commonly referenced at the time. Pinkham urged women to write to her personally, and she would maintain the correspondence in order to expose the customer to more persuasive claims for the remedy.

Download or read book Shang Han Lun written by Zhang Ji and published by Paradigm Publications. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 1281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shang Han Lun has been a primary treatment theory and practice source for nearly two millenia. Its author, Zhang Zhong Jing, has been named the “Chinese Hippocrates” to highlight the depth and breadth of his contribution to traditional Chinese drug therapy. This edition features the Chinese text, Pinyin transliteration, and an English translation of the entire Song Dynasty text, the content and textual order most used in Asia. Just as in Chinese language editions, it is fully supplemented with notes and commentaries. The notes describe the clinical symptoms Zhang Zhong Jing associated with the Chinese terms. For example, modern interpretations of a “moderate” pulse often refer to the speed of its beats. The same term, when used in the Shang Han Lun, refers to a pulse that is loose, soft, and harmonious. Such notes provide practitioners with the clinical observations necessary to properly apply the information. The commentaries further enhance the text’s clinical utility by explaining the theoretical and practical foundations behind the lines of text. Because entire bodies of theory and practice can be associated with the terms and expressions used in canonical works like the Shang Han Lun, commentaries have become a standard means of knowledge acquisition for Asian students. The commentaries in this edition serve exactly the same purpose, greatly enhancing its utility. The introductory matter explains the background of the text, the conceptual structure of its contents, and the problems of exegesis. The appendices are designed to assist those studying Chinese and the glossary and the full Pinyin-English index make this an easily accessed reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Nervous Diseases of Children: For Physicians and Students 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 authors hands until the book assumed its present proportions. 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 features. 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 occasionally in youthful individuals, did not seem to come within the scope of this treatise. In arranging the chapters the effort has been made to indicate by their sequence the natural relation of the various diseases. No apology is needed for the Introductory Chapter, which the author, from his experience as a teacher, knows will meet the needs of the practitioner and the student. Contrary to the usual custom, the functional disorders of the nervous system are discussed first. There seems to be good reason for this. These functional disorders are of the greatest practical importance and constitute fully one-hall of the nervous diseases observed during early years.

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...

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 metroscopic 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.

Download or read book Neurological Concepts in Ancient Greek Medicine written by Thomas M Walshe, III and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neurological history claims its earliest origins in the 17th century with Thomas Willis's publication of Anatomy of the Brain, coming fully into fruition as a field in the late 1850s as medical technology and advancements allowed for in depth study of the brain. However, many of the foundations in neurology can find the seed of their beginning to a time much earlier than that, to ancient Greece in fact. Neurological Concepts in Ancient Greek Medicine is a collection of essays exploring neurological ideas between the Archaic and Hellenistic eras. These essays also provide historic, intellectual, and cultural context to ancient Greek medical practice and emphasizing the interest in the brain of the early physicians. This book describes source material that is over 2,500 years old and reveals the observational skills of ancient physicians. It provides complete translations of two historic Hippocratic texts: On the Sacred Diseases and On the Wounds of the Head. The book also discusses the Hippocratic Oath and the modern applications of its meaning. Dr. Walshe connects this ancient history, usually buried in medical histories, and shows the ancient Greek notions that are the precursors of our understanding of the brain and nervous system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pathbreaking research offers new hope for treating brain diseases and injuries and for maintaining brain health even into old age In the past, the brain was considered an autonomous organ, self-contained and completely separate from the body's immune system. But over the past twenty years, neuroimmunologist Michal Schwartz, together with her research team, not only has overturned this misconception but has brought to light revolutionary new understandings of brain health and repair. In this book Schwartz describes her research journey, her experiments, and the triumphs and setbacks that led to the discovery of connections between immune system and brain. Michal Schwartz, with Anat London, also explains the significance of the findings for future treatments of brain disorders and injuries, spinal cord injuries, glaucoma, depression, and other conditions such as brain aging and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Scientists, physicians, medical students, and all readers with an interest in brain function and its relationship to the immune system in health and disease will find this book a valuable resource. With general readers in mind, the authors provide a useful primer to explain scientific terms and concepts discussed in the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This previously unpublished primary source allows modern readers to reimagine medicine as practiced two hundred years ago by a rural physician in New England through his case histories, correspondence, biographical sketches, and personal commentary. Throughout his fifty-year practice, beginning with a preceptorship in Hingham, Massachusetts, Jeremiah Barker documented his constant efforts to keep up with and contribute to the medical literature in a changing medical landscape, as practice and authority shifted from historical to scientific methods. He performed experiments and autopsies, became interested in the new chemistry of Lavoisier, risked scorn in his use of alkaline remedies, studied epidemic fever and approaches to bloodletting, and struggled to understand epidemic fever, childbed fever, cancer, public health, consumption, mental illness, and the "dangers of spirituous liquors.""--
