Clinical Lectures on Surgery (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Surgeons have a greater understanding of inflammation thanks to recent research by Bernard, and this book comprises the author's clinical observations and notes on the subject. Inflammation is a complex and morbid phenomenon, but it is strongly linked to the circulatory system. Its four characteristics are redness, swelling, pain, and heat. The author describes the six degrees of burns based upon their severity, from simple reddening of the skin to carbonization of the affected area, and relates the time needed for recovery and healing. The book also presents the author's treatment methods for contusions in which there has been a loss of blood, whether coagulated or liquid, as well as his preferred method of irrigating wounds with cold water. It includes discussion of the different types and causes of anthrax, a condition that can lead to diffused phlegmon. The author also shares his observations on malignant pustules, caused by the bite of an insect, as well as wounds from small shot, and the treatment of each. This book is a valuable resource for surgeons and medical students seeking to broaden their knowledge of the treatment of inflammation and its many manifestations.
