Cannon was the first to use x rays to study the digestive system; his work laid the foundations of gastrointestinal radiology. The present paper written while Cannon was still a medical student describes Cannon's first experiments with x-rays to examine the mechanism of swallowing including the first public demonstration by means of x-rays of the phenomena of deglutition. This ground-breaking work was undertaken less than a year after Roentgen's discovery of the x-ray. DSB. 39382. unknown books

Black-and-white photograph of a painting of Cannon depicting the man standing at some kind of medical machine holding a tool and facing forward. Fine. Cannon 1871-1945 was a physiologist and chairman of the Department of Physiology at Harvard Medical School. His career began at Harvard where he "studied the mechanics of digestion in surgical conditions and after surgical operations" Garrison 548. He then became interested in the medical origins of emotions and is known for coining the phrase "fight or flight" in his book Bodily Changes in Pain Hunger Fear and Rage: An Account of Recent Researches into the Function of Emotional Excitement New York: Appleton 1915. Cannon also expanded on a rudimentary theory of Claude Bernard to develop the concept of homeostasis and was president of the American Physiological Society from 1916-18. His son Dr. Bradford Cannon was a military plastic surgeon. Schwarz 186. n.d. unknown books

Walter B. Cannon."</p> <p>First Edition. Cannon professor and chair of the Department of Physiology at Harvard Medical School was one of the pre-eminent physiologists of the 20th century making fundamental contributions to our knowledge of digestion the autonomic nervous system homeostasis and stress response. "In the fall of 1916 before the United States entered World War I the National Research Council named Cannon a member of a committee on traumatic shock. Later he joined the Harvard University Hospital Unit. On his way to France in May 1917 he stopped in London and arranged with Fletcher first secretary of the Medical Research Committee to join the group of physicians and surgeons of the British Expeditionary Forces who were dealing with shock cases at the Casualty Clearing Station at Béthune. . . . Initially Cannon and his associates in the field concentrated their therapeutic efforts on treating the acidosis that accompanies shock. Later they recognized that the acidosis was merely a secondary phenomenon the result of the inadequacy of tissue perfusion. In 1923 Cannon summarized his wartime experience in Traumatic Shock" Dictionary of Scientific Biography.</p> <p> Cannon presented this copy of Traumatic Shock to his commanding officer at Béthune Colonel Cuthbert Sidney Wallace consulting surgeon to the First Army British Expeditionary Force. Cannon noted in his preface that "We were serving under Colonel Cuthbert Wallace later Major-General Sir Cuthbert Wallace who was as eager as any of us to secure further knowledge of shock and who helped and encouraged us in our efforts" p. ix. </p> .
