Excerpt from Constipation, Obstipation and Intestinal Stasis (Autointoxication) The object of this volume is to present to the profession a concise and practical treatise on the etiology, pathology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of constipation and obstipation (intestinal obstruction), During the past fifteen years such flattering success has been mine with the non-medical and surgical treatment of these affections that I have thought it worth while to emphasize in this work the drugless management of constipation and obstipation. From what I have been able to find in the literature and from my conversations with medical men, in addition to my favorable experience, I feel that the manifold benefits to be derived from psychotherapy, diet, and physical measures, such as bodily movements, massage, mechanical vibration, and elec tricity, have not received the marked attention they deserve by phy sicians in general when outlining a plan of treatment for the relief and cure of the different types of costiveness. When discussing the various non-medicinal measures designed for the relief of this complaint I have endeavored to point out as closely as possible their exact indi cations, and to give briefly, in simple language, the technic of their application.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ...the most useful preparations of aloes are aloin, to 2 gr. (0.015-0.12 gm.); purified aloes, 1 to 10 gr. (0.060.6); tincture of aloes and myrrh, fsss to ij (2.0-8.0 cc), and in the form of pills in combination with other remedies (see Formulary); the dose of the latter varies from one to five pills (at night), depending upon the strength of the ingredients and the obstinacy of the case. Rhubarb (Rheum) should never be independently employed in the systematic treatment of chronic constipation, nor should it be prescribed in large doses to secure an immediate evacuation, for the reason that its astringent qualities produce a secondary constipating effect after its cathartic action has subsided. Rhubarb acts very well indeed in the uncommon cases of alternating constipation and diarrhea; it is also a reliable remedy to employ in the treatment of habitual constipation, when used in combination with medicines which will counteract its astringent effects, because of its tendency to improve the appetite and digestion, to increase intestinal secretion and the flow of bile, and to strengthen the intestinal musculature. Rhubarb may be prescribed in the form of a pill (Pilula rhei) containing 2 gr. (0.12 gm.) of rhubarb and ij gr. (0.09 gm.) of aloes; fluidextract, 10 to 30ITI, (0.6-2 cc); aromatic tincture, fess to j (2.0-4.0 cc); syrup, fsj to vj (4.0-24.0 cc), or in one of the combination cathartic pills given in the Formulary. Podophyllin always acts slowly, is a laxative when administered in small doses, and a purgative when larger amounts are given, and, like other remedies of this class, is more effectual in pill form when used in connection with other medicines. In liberal doses, podophyllin increases the biliary and other secretions in from...

Alphaherpesviruses are a fascinating group of DNA viruses that includes important human pathogens such as herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), HSV-2, and varicella-zoster virus (VZV): the causative agents of cold sores, genital ulcerous disease, and chickenpox/shingles, respectively. A key attribute of these viruses is their ability to establish lifelong latent infection in the peripheral nervous system of the host. Such persistence requires subversion of the host's immune system and intrinsic antiviral defense mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms of the immune evasion and what triggers viral reactivation is a major challenge for today's researchers. This has prompted enormous research efforts into understanding the molecular and cellular biology of these viruses. This up-to-date and comprehensive volume aims to distill the most important research in this area providing a timely overview of the field. Topics covered include: transcriptional regulation, DNA replication, translational control, virus entry and capsid assembly, the role of microRNAs in infection and oncolytic vectors for cancer therapy. In addition there is coverage of virus-host interactions, including apoptosis, subversion of host protein quality control and DNA damage response pathways, autophagy, establishment and reactivation from latency, interferon responses, immunity and vaccine development. Essential reading for everyone working with alphaherpesviruses and of interest to all virologists working on latent infections.

"A brilliant account of the politics of shit. It will leave you speechless." Written in Paris after the heady days of student revolt in May 1968 and before the devastation of the AIDS epidemic, History of Shit is emblematic of a wild and adventurous strain of 1970s' theoretical writing that attempted to marry theory, politics, sexuality, pleasure, experimentation, and humor. Radically redefining dialectical thought and post-Marxist politics, it takes an important—and irreverent—position alongside the works of such postmodern thinkers as Foucault, Deleuze, Guattari, and Lyotard. Laporte's eccentric style and ironic sensibility combine in an inquiry that is provocative, humorous, and intellectually exhilarating. Debunking all humanist mythology about the grandeur of civilization, History of Shit suggests instead that the management of human waste is crucial to our identities as modern individuals—including the organization of the city, the rise of the nation-state, the development of capitalism, and the mandate for clean and proper language. Far from rising above the muck, Laporte argues, we are thoroughly mired in it, particularly when we appear our most clean and hygienic. Laporte's style of writing is itself an attack on our desire for "clean language." Littered with lengthy quotations and obscure allusions, and adamantly refusing to follow a linear argument, History of Shit breaks the rules and challenges the conventions of "proper" academic discourse.
