Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pediatrics the Hygienic and Medical Treatment of Children, Vol. 2 In this division are grouped a number of diseases of which the etiology is not definitely known. They are probably due to various abnormalities of the chemistry of the body, and consequently might be defined as constitutional diseases. The most probable cause of chemical abnormality is disturbance of metabolism, and this is the probable pathogenesis of the majority of the diseases of the group described in this division. In the case of hemophilia, however, the probability is that the disease is due to the direct inheritance of a constitutional abnormality, which involves the chemistry or structure of certain of the body tissues. In the other conditions, the cause of the chemical abnormality being unknown, it is attributed to disturbed metabolism. Whether or not an inherited constitutional abnormality plays a part, and if so, to what extent, and whether or not the chief part is played by causes acting from outside the body, and if so, to what extent, are unknown. Whatever the cause, these diseases present manifestations which strongly suggest that the tissue lesions, or functional disturbances produced, are due to disturbed metabolism. Abnormality of metabolism produces two kinds of effects. The first effect is disturbance of nutrition. This may affect the body as a whole, or may affect certain particular tissues of the body. The result of disturbance of nutrition in childhood is an abnormality of development, with characteristic tissue lesions. The most conspicuous example of this effect of disturbed metabolism is the disease rachitis. A second effect of an abnormality of metabolism is the formation of toxic products, resulting in a toxemia. The results of toxemia are again two-fold, one being the production of definite tissue lesions from the action of the poison, as in purpura, while the other result is a disturbance of function, as seen in spasmophilia.
