Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes on multiple theories about the causes of the secondary waves seen on a sphygmographic tracing of the pulse. It presents experimental research in which bifurcating elastic tubes were used to represent the arterial system, along with real hearts and an artificial one, to…create counterparts of some of the most common pulse types. The research showed that the tidal and dicrotic waves, which are secondary waves seen on the tracing, are distinct and have different causes. The tidal wave is shown to be an oscillation in the sphygmograph, caused by the inertia of the instrument. This oscillation varies in development depending on the pressure applied to the artery. The dicrotic wave, on the other hand, is attributed to inertia of the arterial walls, modified by inertia of the fluid. The author argues that the appearance of these waves can change considerably depending on the pressure of the pulse, and their interpretation is clinically useful for determining the state of the circulation in fever, Brights disease, and other conditions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the effects of certain liquids on the process of digesting meat. The author, a doctor, created an experiment involving digesting meat in the presence of various beverages, then measuring the amount of digestion that occurred. The results were surprising, showing cert…ain beverages may have a greater impact on digestion than others. That impact sometimes differed depending on what type of food was being digested.ÂThe author goes over the details of many experiments conducted with various meats, teas, coffees, and even cocoa. By examining the results of these experiments, the author shows that some beverages do not interfere with the digestion of albuminous foods, while others do.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an examination of cervical vertebrae, particularly focusing on the atlas. The author examines the variations in the atlas, that bone at the base of the skull responsible for supporting the head, by studying over 200 specimens. The author finds that these variations are… not confined to any particular part but are frequently observed in the transverse processes and then the posterior arch. A brief discussion is also given on the author's theory on the homologies of the transverse processes. The variations in the vertebrae are a testament to the diversity of human anatomy and can have clinical importance, which the author illustrates with a case of an abnormal atlas in a dissection subject. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the anatomy of the walls of the larger blood vessels and lymphatics, focusing on their lymphatic systems. Until now, little attention has been given to these intrinsic lymphatics, but the author argues that they perform an important function that is distinct from lym…phatic drainage or absorption. Through the use of histological rings, which provides the author with the clearest possible preparation of the lymphatic systems, the author analyzes and describes the structure and distribution of lymphatic vessels in these larger blood vessels, and theorizes about their function. The insights provided by this book have important implications for understanding the physiology of the lymphatic system as a whole.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a groundbreaking investigation into a specific bovine tuberculosis (BTB) disease that affects humans. BTB was previously believed to only affect cattle, however, the author argues that due to the structural mimicry of infection, BTB can be communicated to humans and produc…es lesions with the same fundamental textural processes that characterize tuberculosis in humans. The author provides a detailed analysis of the anatomy of BTB in cattle, and compares and contrasts its characteristics with BTB in humans. The text also provides evidence of BTB transmission from cows to humans through infected milk. This discovery is significant as it raises concerns about the safety of consuming dairy products from cows infected with BTB, a common disease among cattle.
