Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a snapshot of the history and pathology of pleural effusion, its symptomatic effects on the heart, and historical methods of treatment. Amidst the ongoing evolution of medical practice, and as new diseases emerge, this book leans on its trove of historical case studies to elucidate the enduring features of the disease and its pathology. Through detailed analysis of case histories, it reveals that many features of the disease remain consistent despite the passage of time. Since the earliest published accounts of this condition, medical professionals have remarked upon the displacement of the heart as a common consequence of the effusion and the variability of its extent and direction based on the severity of the underlying pathology. Medical understanding of the condition has not progressed uniformly since these early accounts, and the author draws attention to the fact that in some ways, modern medicine's understanding of the natural history of pleural effusion lags behind the detailed and insightful observations recorded meticulously by our medical forebears. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
