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.
