Internal Medicine in Old Age
A scarce title in today's market, Internal Medicine in Old Age was written by Albert Mueller-Deham, MD & Milton Rabson. It was published in 1942 by Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore.
The 396-page hardbound book deals with geriatrics as a clinical entity, primarily concerned with the modification of diseases. To achieve results, say the authors, the study of old age must be emphasized in hospitals, universities, and in the education and training of students and doctors.
Topics here include General Considerations; Respiratory System; Cardiovascular System; Urogenital System; Digestive System; Metabolic Disorders; and Musculo-Sketletal System. Each chapter includes an array of bibliographic references.
The book is in Good+ condition, although it is Ex Lib with the usual library markings. Covers show minor edge/corner/spine end wear, with a small stained area at bottom of front. The front hinge is broken. Inside pages, however, are still tightly bound and show no apparent defects. It's a good one! (5426-30)
