Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Diseases of the Nervous SystemThe object-lens should have a focal distance of about two inches, and it should be held so as to bring the focus on the pupil. The lamp is placed behind and a little to one side of the eye to be examined. In order to see the optic disk, the patient is told to look at the ear of the observer on the side opposite to the eye being examined. In this way the axis of vision is directed inward, and the optic disk readily brought into view.These examinations are made in a room lighted only by the lamp used in the processes. It is sometimes necessary to dilate the pupil with atropia, in order to obtain a view of the disk, but experience and tact will generally enable the observer to dispense with this rather dio agreeable procedure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Evidence-based Dementia Practice
Author: Nawab Qizilbash
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470752335
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 923
Book Description
The era of therapeutic nihilism in dementia has ended, with the emergence of agents for symptomatic treatment, those that delay the course of the disease or prevent the onset of dementia, and new methods to manage symptoms. With the expansion of therapies, there is a clear danger of being overwhelmed by the volume of data. This book is designed to collect this information, distil what is relevant and reliable, and present it in a format that is useful to clinicians who manage and treat people with dementia. The book is designed to bring together the latest, best and practical evidence on all aspects of management, from diagnosis and therapy to social and ethical considerations. The editors are all dynamic clinicians involved in the care of patients with dementia and the evaluation of therapies. Two of the editors are the leaders of the Cochrane Collaboration for the examination of therapies for dementia. There are no other books that take such a practical and problem-oriented or approach to the diagnosis and management of dementia. Furthermore none but this can be described as truely evidence-based.

Viruses, Plagues, and History
Author: Michael B. A. Oldstone
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190056800
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
More people were killed by smallpox during the twentieth century--over 300 million--than by all of the wars of that period combined. In 1918 and 1919, influenza virus claimed over 50 million lives. A century later, influenza is poised to return, ongoing plagues of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis infect millions, and Ebola, Zika, and West Nile viruses cause new concern and panic. The overlapping histories of humans and viruses are ancient. Earliest cities became both the cradle of civilization and breeding grounds for the first viral epidemics. This overlap is the focus of virologist/immunologist Michael Oldstone in Viruses, Plagues and History. Oldstone explains principles of viruses and epidemics while recounting stories of viruses and their impact on human history. This fully updated second edition includes engrossing new chapters on hepatitis, Zika, and contemporary threats such as the possible return of a catastrophic influenza, and the impact of fear of autism on vaccination efforts. This is a fascinating panorama of humankind's longstanding conflict with unseen viral enemies, both human successes--such as control of poliomyelitis, measles, smallpox and yellow fever, and continued dangers--such as HIV and Ebola. Impeccably researched and accessibly written, Viruses, Plagues and History will fascinate all with an interest in how viral illnesses alter the course of human history.
