Excerpt from Reflex Paralysis: Its Pathological Anatomy, and Relation to the Sympathetic Nervous System

The generic term reﬂex, used here, comprises that peculiar and extensive class of paralyses called functional, idiopathic, asthenic, and peripheral. It may be proper to state from the beginning that this name does not imply contraction in the blood vessels of the spinal cord as a necessary initial cause of the paral yaia, nor subsequent absence of structural change in the nervous system as its efi'ect. I keep the word, because there is no ad vantage in coining a new one when that already created suﬂices, provided we define its meaning to guard against looseness of application. Indeed, there should be no objection to call such form of paralysis reﬂex, for several of its varieties attending fever, pneumonia, anwmia, intoxication, etc., could not properly be looked upon as peripheral, in the true sense of this expres~ sion; while to name them functional is obviously in opposition to our knowledge that material modification in the organs is essen~ tial to disease. Therefore, as already intimated, disregarding the idea of vascular contraction and absence of lesion in the Spinal cord - certainly not conveyed by the term reﬂex - this.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical understanding and evolution of "reflex paralysis," a term used to describe a class of functional, idiopathic, asthenic, and peripheral forms of paralysis. The author argues that "reflex paralysis" is a broad category that includes conditions resulting from exhaustion of central nervous incitability, and circumstances unrelated to the central nervous system. By examining a range of medical cases and drawing on influential scientific research from the mid-19th century, the author suggests that many forms of paralysis once thought to be caused by neurological deficits can instead be traced to muscle damage, nerve damage in the peripheral nervous system, and even psychological trauma. The text provides important historical context for our contemporary understanding of paralysis and disease. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
