Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Original Contributions of Louisiana to Medical Science: A Bibliographic Study graphic Study. In a previous paper read December 15, 1915, before the Louisiana Historical Society the subject was considered biographically, i.e. gave specially an account of the lives of the contributors, whereas in this bibliographic study it is specially their writings and achievements that are described. All the contributors from Louisiana are from the City of New Orleans, except Dr. Prevost. Dr. Francois Prevost practiced in Donaldsonville. In 1830 (?)he performed the first Cesarian Section in America. He operated four times successfully losing but one mother and operating twice on the same woman. His claim is well established in a paper published by Dr. Robert P. Harris of Philadelphia, published in the New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal, June, 1879, page 933. Dr. - Dubourg, (New Orleans) was the first to perform vaginal hysterectomy in America, if not in the world. (Statement of Professor E. S. Lewis of Tulane.) Dr. Charles Aloysius Luzenberg, 1805-1848,(New Orleans) first removed gangrenous bowel in hernia, and sutured the ends successfully. Dr. John Leonard Riddell, 1807-1865,(New Orleans) invented the binocular microscope. Dr. Warren Stone, 1808-1892, (New Orleans) was the first to resect a portion of rib to secure permanent drainage in cases of empyema. He was the first to apply a wire ligature to a human artery for aneurism. He applied it to the common iliac for an aneurism of the external iliac. He first cured a traumatic aneurism of the second portion of the subclavian artery by digital compression. Priority is also claimed by Dr. Jonathan Knight of New Haven, Conn. Digital compression is undoubtedly an American procedure. Dr. Charles Jean Faget, Sr., 1818-1884, (New Orleans) discovered the lack of correlation between the pulse and the temperature in yellow fever. While the temperature goes up the pulse goes down or remains stationary. It is pathognomonic of yellow fever. Dr. Tobias Gibson Richardson, 1827-1892, (New Orleans) was the first to amputate both legs at the hip joint at one time in the same subject, the patient recovering. He was the first to write an Anatomy in which English names were substituted for the Latin names. He was the first to use strong injections of nitrate of silver for cytitis. His wife´s devotion to his memory caused her to contribute magnificent buildings on Tulane Campus devoted to medical education.
