Lectures on the Comparative Pathology of Inflammation: Delivered at the Pasteur Institute in 1891 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book examines the connections between pathology and biology in the study of inflammation. The author applies the Darwinian theory of evolution and the concept of natural selection to provide a more complete understanding of the complex pathological phenomena associated with inflammation. The book provides a historical overview of inflammatory theories, from the time of Virchow to the 20th century. It also explores the role of intracellular digestion, trophic and chemiotactic phenomena, negative chemiotaxis, and the concepts of attraction and repulsion in the inflammatory process. The author argues that inflammation is not simply a regeneration process but rather a complex series of defensive reactions that can vary significantly depending on the organism and the specific inflammatory stimulus. The book's insights provide a valuable framework for understanding the evolution and significance of inflammation within the broader context of biology and medicine.
