Synopsis
Excerpt from Fever: A Clinical Study
The physiological facts which have to be kept before us in considering the theory of fever are as follows -1. Two main processes are constantly going on in the system tissue formation and tissue disintegration. 2. During tissue disintegration there are formed various products destined for elimination; the chief of these are urea, carbonic acid, and heat. 3. Urea is eliminated by the kidneys, carbonic acid by the lungs, and heat by the skin. 4. In the case of each, production and elimination are so well balanced that no accumulation takes place in the system. 5. In the case of heat this balance is so well maintained that the normal temperature is always the same (984° 6. The various processes here indicated are presided over by the nervous centres, and it is, by the regulating power of these centres that the normal balance is maintained.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the theory of fever, examining its physiological and clinical aspects. The author charts the evolution of the field, from Galen's era to the present day, with special emphasis on the impact of the thermometer on our understanding of fever. The book explores the two main theories of fever: the metabolic theory, which attributes fever to increased tissue metabolism, and the neurotic theory, which proposes that fever results from disturbance of the nervous centers. The author examines the strengths and weaknesses of each theory, ultimately arguing that both metabolic and neurotic factors can contribute to fever. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the theory of fever, making it an essential read for medical professionals and anyone interested in the history of medicine.
