Excerpt from Lectures on Diseases of the Digestive Organs, Vol. 2: Lectures on Diseases of the Stomach
Gentlemen, I will now show you on a female patient how easily this method of expression, as we have called it, fulfils its purpose (demonstration). Although in this instance the result is so speedy and effectual, I must not conceal from you the thct that in isolated cases expression does not produce the desired result. For instance, when the abdominal wall is so reland that abdominal pressure cannot be applied; and, again, in cases where the patient has no control over his muscles, and is unable to press when desired to do so, or perhaps makes convulsive efforts to cough. It may happen that this method of expression fails on first or second trial, or possibly altogether, but taken all in all, this hardly occurs in five per cent. Of the cases in which it is employed.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book examines the methodologies and implications of a key diagnostic tool in the field of gastroenterology - the examination of the stomach. Historically, stomach examinations were complex, invasive, and unpleasant procedures. Now, thanks to advances such as stomach tubes and aspiration techniques, the process has been simplified, allowing for far more routine application in medical practice. The author presents a detailed overview of these groundbreaking techniques, how they have shaped the diagnosis of digestive issues, and their impact on our understanding of stomach-related diseases. They explore the detection of acids and other chemical compounds in the stomach, and discuss the implications of findings for both diagnosis and treatment plans. The book also provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the different types of stomach disorders, covering their causes, symptoms, and treatments. With its focus on the latest scientific discoveries, this book will enable healthcare practitioners to provide better, more informed care to their patients.
