Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of clinical research cases that occurred in the mid-19th century. The cases primarily focus on a new method of performing a rarely used procedure called 'transfusion', where blood from a healthy individual is directly passed into a patient's vein to restore their blood volume. The author, a physician, presents the cases as a means to discuss the causes and potential treatments for blood loss in obstetric patients. He argues that although transfusion has the potential to be an effective treatment, the success rate depends on the cause of the blood loss and the timing of the procedure. The author suggests a new method for performing the procedure that reduces clotting during the operation, which he believes will increase the viability of the procedure. The book also discusses the debate around the nature of disease. While some diseases are caused by an external force like a virus or bacteria, others can be caused by internal factors like a person's tendency to develop nervous disorders. The author underscores the importance of understanding the specific cause of a disease for effective treatment.

Guy's Hosp. Rep., 21. - London, John Churchill, New Burlington Street, 1860, 8°, XII, (2), 528 pp., 9 lith. Tafelm Pappband im stil der Zeit. A careful experimental research was conducted by Arthur E. Durham in 1860, in which he trephined a portion of bone as large as a shilling from the parietal region of a dog, and, to obviate the effects of atmospheric pressure, inserted a watch glass into the aperture so that the surface of the brain could be seen. His results are summarized thus: " (1) Pressure of distended veins on the brain is not the cause of sleep, for during sleep the veins are not distended; and, when they are, symptoms and appearances arise which differ from those which characterize sleep. (2) During sleep the brain is in a comparatively bloodless condition, and the blood in the encephalic vessels is not only diminished in quantity, but moves with diminished rapidity. (3) The condition of the cerebral circulation during sleep is, from physical causes, that which is most favourable to the nutrition of the brain tissue; and, on the other , hand, the condition which prevails during waking is associated with mental activity, because it is that which is most favourable to oxidation of the brain substance, and to various changes in its chemical constitution. (4) The blood which is derived from the brain during sleep is distributed to the alimentary and excretory organs. (5) Whatever increases the activity of the cerebral circulation tends to preserve wakefulness; and whatever decreases the activity of the cerebral circulation, and, at the same time, is not inconsistent with the general health of the body, tends to induce and favour sleep. Such circumstances may act primarily through the nervous or through the vascular system. Among those which act through the nervous system may be instanced the presence or absence of impressions upon the senses, and the presence or absence of exciting ideas. Among those which act through the vascular system may be mentioned unnaturally or naturally increased or decreased force or frequency of the heart's action.".

Albumen print (circular), diameter 3¼ inches (82.5 mm), mounted on two-tone card, signed 'A.E.Durham', titled and annotated 'All nat: photomicrograph:' in pencil on mount; some foxing to mount not affecting image.A rare and attractive microphotograph of a transverse section of Ginkgo biloba wood, traditionally used in Chinese medicine and homeopathy. Arthur E.Durham was a surgeon at Guy's Hospital in London from 1861 to 1894 and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. He was also a member of the Royal Photographic Society, seemingly active as a photographer in the 1870s and 1880s. His photographs are rare. Those known are from one series of microphotographs of sections cut through various woods and are characterised by a technical virtuosity and a fine precision of detail. The resultant images are completely abstract. The link between scientists and medics, and experimentation with microphotography had been firmly established since the invention of photography. In 1839 Arago had pointed out the possibility of microphotography in his report on Daguerre's invention. As early as 1802 Wedgwood had projected enlargements of microscopically small objects onto light sensitive silver paper in sunlight, but he had been unable to fix the images. In the 1840s J.B.Dancer was producing enlarged objects by microphotography using a solar microscope. Microphotographers were soon experimenting with Talbot's paper negative process, but it was only with the later introduction of the glass negative and albumen printing process that such detailed studies could be made. In this example Durham has photographed a section of the tree better known as the Ginkgo biloba, used in traditional Chinese medicine and in homeopathy and the dried leaves are used for the symptomatic relief of brain dysfunction. For more information on microphotography see J.M.Eder, History of Photography, pp.385-388.
