Présentation de l'éditeur
Physiology was concerned chiefly with certain specialized functions of cells, the phenomena of which hardly touch the problems of disease, and was hampered in its progress by the backward condition of such ancillary sciences as chemistry and physics. Pathology, greatly influenced by anatomy, was engaged with the observation of results rather than the elucidation of the underlying vital processes. Within recent years, however, the two sciences have converged again, for not only has the scope of physiological inquiry regarding the intimate processes of cellular life been broadening, but pathology, in recording such phenomena as those of perverted secretion or the effects of morbid cellular life on normal functions, has opened up new lines of inquiry for the physiologist. Disease, in fact, has often supplied physiological experiments far more delicate than any that could be performed in the laboratory. There is thus at present a constant interaction of the two sciences ;the way has thus been opened up for the elucidation of the doctrine often foreshadowed by the older pathologists that the laws of disease are really the laws of health, and lack of co-ordination between the normal activities of the component tissues of the body is often the most important factor in the origin of disease. Although the establishment of these principles is still very incomplete, it has seemed to the editors of this book that the time has come for another attempt to present, as far as it may be possible, the results obtained by the two sciences in working at the problems of disease.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this wide -ranging book, the author explores the interrelated histories of physiology and pathology, demonstrating how their once -shared origin in cellular biology has led to a mutual, century -spanning evolution. The author traces how early attempts to study individual cells gave rise to separate disciplines. Physiology became concerned with the function of specialized cells, while pathology focused on the consequences of aberrations in these functions. However, the author demonstrates how recent advances in both fields have fostered a renewed convergence and the development of new insights into disease mechanisms. The book reveals how a deeper understanding of cellular physiology has revolutionized our knowledge of disease and marks a turning point in the relationship between these two disciplines. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
