Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough study of a specific leprosy endemic focus in the Hawaiian islands, which existed for nearly 50 years until a leprosy investigation station was created to treat those affected. Through statistical computations, this research sheds light on the epidemiology of leprosy, particularly its prevalence among the native population. The author delves into disease morbidity according to age, sex, geographical location, and other factors, demonstrating a disproportionate impact on certain demographic groups. The work emphasizes the need for effective segregation and early detection, highlighting how both can aid in controlling the spread of leprosy. Drawing on historical and political context, the book positions leprosy within a broader understanding of public health policy and disease management in the region, showcasing the influence of government policies on disease prevalence. Ultimately, this research provides valuable insights into the challenges of controlling leprosy, underscoring the importance of tailored public health interventions based on robust data. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the result of a thorough medical investigation spearheaded by the author into leprosy in the early 1900s. Targeted specifically towards Hawaiian natives who were disproportionately affected by the disease, it is an examination of the frequency of leprosy's most common early symptom, a lesion on the nasal septum. The study challenges the theory that this lesion is present in a majority of the disease's early stages, with the author conducting examinations of hundreds of people at high risk to contract leprosy, including those living in close quarters with confirmed lepers. Their research shows that the nasal septum lesion is not common enough to be used as a reliable early indicator of leprosy, concluding that using such lesions to identify the disease is impractical for public health purposes.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a study of leprosy in Hawai'i conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service between 1905 and 1908. The author provides an overview of the disease, its symptoms, and its history in Hawai'i, as well as a detailed analysis of data on leprosy cases in the islands. The findings shed light on the epidemiology of leprosy and the effectiveness of segregation as a control measure. Leprosy has been a significant public health concern in Hawai'i for over a century, and this book offers a valuable historical perspective on the efforts to manage the disease. The author examines the role of isolation in controlling the spread of leprosy and discusses the ethical and social implications of segregation policies. The book also explores the potential role of mosquitoes in transmitting leprosy and presents data on the presence of leprosy bacilli in mosquitoes that have fed on infected individuals. This research contributes to our understanding of the transmission dynamics of leprosy and highlights the need for further investigation. The insights gained from this study have implications for the prevention and control of leprosy both in Hawai'i and beyond. The book is a valuable resource for public health professionals, historians, and anyone interested in the history and epidemiology of infectious diseases.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details a leprosy investigation conducted in Hawaii in 1907 and 1908 by U.S. Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service in conjunction with the Board of Health of the Territory of Hawaii. It presents a preliminary trial of the therapeutic value of nastine (deyoke) in the treatment of leprosy. The results of nastine medication in six cases of leprosy are presented in detail, with a general summary of the authorsâ findings. The book is significant for shedding light on early medical investigations into leprosy and the challenges faced in treating the disease in the early 20th century. It provides valuable historical context for understanding the evolution of leprosy treatment and offers insights into the complexities of this devastating disease.
