Synopsis

""Diseases of the Chest and the Principles of Physical Diagnosis: With a Chapter on the Electrocardiograph in Heart Disease"" by George William Norris is a comprehensive medical textbook that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of chest diseases. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the anatomy and physiology of the chest, the principles of physical diagnosis, and the use of the electrocardiograph in diagnosing heart disease.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a specific aspect of chest disease. The first section provides an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the chest, including the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system. The second section focuses on the principles of physical diagnosis, including the use of auscultation, percussion, and palpation to diagnose chest diseases.The third section of the book covers specific chest diseases, including bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and lung cancer. Each chapter in this section provides a detailed description of the disease, its symptoms, and its treatment.The final section of the book is dedicated to the use of the electrocardiograph in diagnosing heart disease. This chapter provides an in-depth explanation of the electrocardiograph and its use in diagnosing various heart conditions.Overall, ""Diseases of the Chest and the Principles of Physical Diagnosis: With a Chapter on the Electrocardiograph in Heart Disease"" is a valuable resource for medical professionals and students who are interested in the diagnosis and treatment of chest diseases. It provides a comprehensive overview of the subject matter and is written in a clear and concise manner that is easy to understand.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

To write a practical book on the physical dia Rnosis of the heart and lungs in health and disease, has been the aim of the authors. We have attempted to omit everything not of practical diagnostic use, and to condense methods of secondary importance. More than is the custom has been written on the subject of diagnostic acoustics, because we believe that only through the comprehension of the laws of sound production and transmission can the results of percussion and auscultation be intelligently interpreted. We have endeavored to teach as much as possible by means of illustrations. Of these, many are photographs of frozen sections from the cadaver, previously hardened in formalin, so that the anatomic relations of the tissues remain as during life. We have found these specimens invaluable in our own teaching; and the book has been written in the hope that the photographic reproductions of our sections may be useful to others. We take pleasure in acknowledging our great indebtedness to Dr. fieorge Fctterolf for the frozen sections; to Dr. J. Claxton Gittings for asiiistancc in the preparation of the Section on Pediatrics; to Dr. Edward B. Krumbhaar for the Chapter dea Hng with the electrocardiogram; to Professor Richard Geigel, and to Dr. Charles M. Montgomery, from whose articles upon acoustics in diagnosis, much information has been gleaned. We are also indebted to Miss Eleanor A. Cantner for the production of some of our drawings. We are further under obligations to Professor William M. L. Coplin for permission to photograph numerous specimea in the Museum of Pathology of the Jefferson Medical College, as well as to Dr. David R. Bowen and to Dr. Henry K. Pancoast for our radiograms.
