TY - JOUR AU - COLEMAN, WARREN AB - After it had been ascertained that a patient could be carried through an attack of typhoid fever with the loss of but little if any weight and that the large amount of food required for this purpose is absorbed nearly as completely as in health, the next step in the investigation of the diet problem in this disease was obviously to determine the extent to which the food was utilized after its absorption and the effect it had on the general metabolism. The investigation which forms the basis of this paper was undertaken in association with Dr. Eugene F. Du Bois.1 There are two methods by which such an investigation may be carried out: direct or indirect calorimetry. Direct calorimetry implies the actual measurement of the heat produced by the body and requires an elaborate and costly apparatus. In indirect calorimetry the heat production may be calculated from the TI - THE EFFECTS OF FOOD ON METABOLISM IN TYPHOID FEVER JO - JAMA DO - 10.1001/jama.1914.02570110034008 DA - 1914-09-12 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/american-medical-association/the-effects-of-food-on-metabolism-in-typhoid-fever-7LQjdS2Sun SP - 932 EP - 936 VL - LXIII IS - 11 DP - DeepDyve ER -
