Sinopsis
Excerpt from Fever: A Clinical Study
The physiological facts which have to be kept before us in considering the theory of fever are as follows -1. Two main processes are constantly going on in the system tissue formation and tissue disintegration. 2. During tissue disintegration there are formed various products destined for elimination; the chief of these are urea, carbonic acid, and heat. 3. Urea is eliminated by the kidneys, carbonic acid by the lungs, and heat by the skin. 4. In the case of each, production and elimination are so well balanced that no accumulation takes place in the system. 5. In the case of heat this balance is so well maintained that the normal temperature is always the same (984° 6. The various processes here indicated are presided over by the nervous centres, and it is, by the regulating power of these centres that the normal balance is maintained.

Excerpt from Fever: A Clinical Study
Fever is not a distinct entity, but a collection of various phenomena the co-existence of which in the system is conveniently characterised by the term 'fever.' Of these phenomena the most constant and characteristic is increased body heat. So prominent is this feature of the febrile state that a rise of temperature is generally referred to as fever: a patient whose temperature is raised is said to be feverish, and the terms 'fever' and 'increased body heat' have come to be regarded as synonymous. Thus in our own day, as in the days of Galen, color prœter naturam is looked upon as the pathognomonic feature of fever.
A more intimate acquaintance with the phenomena which go to constitute the febrile state, and the generally more accurate knowledge of the bedside phenomena of disease which has resulted from the use of the clinical thermometer, have shown us that 'fever' and 'rise of temperature' cannot with strict accuracy be regarded as synonymous terms. There may be fever without rise of temperature (as in the advanced stages of some bad cases of pneumonia and of typhus), and there may be rise of temperature without true fever, as in some cases of cerebral disease.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the theory of fever, examining its physiological and clinical aspects. The author charts the evolution of the field, from Galen's era to the present day, with special emphasis on the impact of the thermometer on our understanding of fever. The book explores the two main theories of fever: the metabolic theory, which attributes fever to increased tissue metabolism, and the neurotic theory, which proposes that fever results from disturbance of the nervous centers. The author examines the strengths and weaknesses of each theory, ultimately arguing that both metabolic and neurotic factors can contribute to fever. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the theory of fever, making it an essential read for medical professionals and anyone interested in the history of medicine. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
