Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth look at the late effects of nerve injuries, as observed by surgeons at US military hospitals during the Civil War. The author has searched pension records, interviewed veterans, and examined historical medical accounts to create a fascinating and informative account of the long-term consequences of wartime nerve damage. This book explores the full range of nerve injuries, from minor contusions and concussions to lacerations and complete transections. It delves into the complex ways in which nerves recover from injury, discussing the impact of age, overall health, and the type of injury on the healing process. The author provides a detailed analysis of the symptoms associated with nerve damage, including burning pain, numbness, paralysis, and trophic changes in the skin and nails. This book not only serves as an important historical document, but also offers insights into the nature of nerve injuries and their treatment that are still relevant today.
