Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This collection of essays delves into the pathology of pneumonia and phthisis by renowned physician Thomas Addison, widely recognized for his contributions to the understanding of lung diseases. The book is placed in the context of medical advancements in the 19th century, particularly the emerging field of studying lung function using tools such as the stethoscope. It provides a comprehensive examination of respiratory diseases, offering insights into their diagnosis and treatment. Addison's work sheds light on inflammation of the air cells in the lungs as the root cause of pneumonia, challenging prevailing notions of the time. He also delves into the differences between red and grey hepatization and proposes that chronic lung conditions, often attributed to tuberculosis, may in fact result from inflammatory processes. These observations provide a deeper understanding of the complexities of lung diseases and their potential manifestations. The essays in this book offer a valuable historical perspective on the development of our understanding of lung pathology and continue to inform present-day practices in pulmonology. Addison's meticulous observations and groundbreaking insights contribute to a rich body of knowledge that has shaped the field of respiratory medicine. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
