Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diseases of the Colon and Their Surgical Treatment Until comparatively recently, diseases of the colon had received but scant attention, and with the exception of cancer and amoebic dysentery, little was known about the pathological conditions which occur in this portion of the alimentary tract. Everybody was treating constipation, but few knew anything about its causes. Within the last few years, however, chiefly as the result of better methods of diagnosis, our knowledge with regard to diseases of the colon has been much increased. The subject is one of considerable importance, for everything points to the conclusion that diseases and abnormalities of the colon are becoming more frequent. This is probably to be attributed mainly to modern methods of dietary more than to any other factor. Among uncivilized races of mankind, the alimentary system has to digest and deal with food in which digestible and indigestible materials are about equally mixed. But under our present high state of civilization, foods, both animal and vegetable, are specially grown. The animals which supply our meat are specially bred and cared for to render it free from gristle, and the vegetables are cultivated to contain but little cellulose, and are further prepared, especially in the case of bread, to reduce this ingredient to the very minimum. Under these conditions, to which must often be added a sedentary occupation, the normal stimuli to peristalsis and digestion are to a large extent absent.
