Synopsis

Excerpt from Lectures on the Comparative Pathology of Inflammation: Delivered at the Pasteur Institute in 1891

The subject of phagocytes is frequently referred to during the course of this study on the biological theory of inflammation. I must however warn the reader that he will not find a full exposition of the phagocyte theory in this work. Many points in connection with this question come under the headings of immunity, regeneration and atrophy - points which I hope to treat separately later on.

With the exception of some slight modifications, these lectures are published in the form in which they were delivered at the Pasteur Institute, in April and May of 1891. I must, however, mention that in deal ing with the destruction of the tubercle bacillus in the organism (lecture I have made use of the reactive phenomena presented by the tuberculous cells of Meriones instead of describing those in Spermophilus, as Idid in my course. Rather than repeat here what has already been published in a separate paper, I have preferred to introduce an example which has not yet appeared in print.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the connections between pathology and biology in the study of inflammation. The author applies the Darwinian theory of evolution and the concept of natural selection to provide a more complete understanding of the complex pathological phenomena associated with inflammation. The book provides a historical overview of inflammatory theories, from the time of Virchow to the 20th century. It also explores the role of intracellular digestion, trophic and chemiotactic phenomena, negative chemiotaxis, and the concepts of attraction and repulsion in the inflammatory process. The author argues that inflammation is not simply a regeneration process but rather a complex series of defensive reactions that can vary significantly depending on the organism and the specific inflammatory stimulus. The book's insights provide a valuable framework for understanding the evolution and significance of inflammation within the broader context of biology and medicine.
