Synopsis

Cellular Pathology As Based Upon Physiological And Pathological Histology is a book written by Rudolf Ludwig Karl Virchow, a German physician, anthropologist, pathologist, prehistorian, biologist, writer, editor, and politician. The book was first published in 1863 and is considered to be one of the most influential medical texts of the 19th century.The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the normal structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs. It explains the principles of cellular pathology and how diseases affect the body at a cellular level. The second part of the book deals with pathological histology, which is the study of diseased tissues and organs. It covers a wide range of diseases, including cancer, tuberculosis, and syphilis.Virchow's work was groundbreaking in its focus on the cellular basis of disease. He argued that disease was not caused by imbalances in the body's humors, as was commonly believed at the time, but rather by changes in the structure and function of cells. He also emphasized the importance of studying diseased tissues in order to understand the underlying causes of disease.Cellular Pathology As Based Upon Physiological And Pathological Histology is a classic text that is still widely read and cited today. It has had a significant impact on the field of pathology and has influenced generations of medical researchers and practitioners.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
