Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diseases of Metabolism and of the Blood, Animal Parasites, Toxicology Although the statement of Prof. Hoppe-Seyler that "The process of life of the organism is, in the main, a complete mystery" is still true, much has been accomplished by the researches of modern physiologists and clinicians who have endeavored to find the key to this enigma. Perhaps in no realm of medicine has labor fructified so richly as in the recent study of metabolism. This has been of value not only in diagnosis but, even more so, from the standpoint of treatment. It may be confidently stated that the treatment of some diseases of metabolism, such as diabetes mellitus, gout, and obesity, now rests on a scientific basis. This advance is almost exclusively due to the labors of the modern German school of physiologists and internal clinicians. What is true of the pathology of metabolism may also be asserted of diseases of the blood. The study of maladies whose etiology and pathology were formerly obscure has now been simplified, their relations classified, and the whole arranged in exact scientific order. The processes of blood formation and blood degeneration, while not yet forming an open book, have in part been clearly portrayed. That therapy has not kept pace with this advance affords an opportunity for the physician of the twentieth century, but much has already been accomplished, and many problems have been solved. For this progress also the medical world is indebted to modern research. The object of this volume is to present a picture of diseases which were formerly designated as of "obscure causation," and to outline their treatment. Each article is the work of a master in his special field of labor. In the translation an endeavor has been made to adhere as closely as possible to the individual style of each contributor without the subserviency of clearness in the text.
