The Body Emblazoned

In this outstanding work, Jonathan Sawday explores the dark, morbid eroticism of the Renaissance anatomy theatre, and relates it to not only the great monuments of Renaissance art, but to the very foundation of the modern idea of knowledge. Though the dazzling displays of the exterior of the body in Renaissance literature and art have long been a subject of enquiry, The Body Emblazoned considers the interior of the body, and what it meant to men and women in early modern culture. A richly interdisciplinary work, The Body Emblazoned re-assesses modern understanding of the literature and culture of the Renaissance and its conceptualization of the body within the domains of the medical and moral, the cultural and political.

The Healing Hand: Man and Wound in the Ancient World

E. Dorinda Loeffel

If we are lucky, Dr Guido Majno will be reincarnated every thousand years to resurrect our dusty medical archives and clarify our medical ideas. Undoubtedly, he would display the same energy, wit, and enthusiasm evident in the present book. However, instead of tackling mummies, bones, hieroglyphics, excavations, and artwork, he would have to scrutinize miles of microfilm and millions of tons of journals, deciphering longforgotten computer codes, laboratory results, and operative procedures. With enormous curiosity and indepth knowledge of pathology, Dr Majno has analyzed the development of wound care, surgery, and anatomical knowledge between 3000 BC and AD 200.

Secrets of women: gender, generation, and the origins of human dissection

Toward the end of the Middle Ages, medical writers and philosophers began to … Women's bodies and the study of anatomy in Italy between the late thirteenth and the mid-sixteenth centuries. Toward the end of the Middle Ages, medical writers and philosophers began to devote increasing attention to what they called secrets, by which they meant female sexuality and generation. At the same time, Italian physicians and surgeons began to open human bodies in order to study their functions and the illnesses that afflicted them, culminating in the great illustrated anatomical treatise of Andreas Vesalius in 1543. Katharine Park traces these two closely related developments through a series of case studies of whose bodies were dissected after their deaths: an abbess, a lactating virgin, several patrician wives and mothers, and an executed criminal. Drawing on a variety of texts and images, she explores the history of women's bodies in Italy between the late thirteenth and the mid-sixteenth centuries in the context of family identity, religious observance, and women's health care. Secrets Of Women explodes the myth that medieval religious prohibitions hindered the practice of human dissection in medieval and Renaissance Italy, arguing that female bodies, real and imagined, played a central role in the history of anatomy during that time. The opened corpses of holy revealed sacred objects, while the opened corpses of wives and mothers yielded crucial information about where babies came from and about the forces that shaped their vulnerable flesh. In the process, what male writers knew as the secrets of women came to symbolize the most difficult challenges posed by human bodies-challenges that dissection promised to overcome. Park's study of women's bodies and men's attempts to know them-and through these efforts to know their own-demonstrates the centrality of gender to the development of early modern anatomy.

RELATIONSHIP OF SIGNIFICANCE OF WOUND TO PAIN EXPERIENCED

Efforts … • The frequency of pain severe enough to require a narcotic was studied in 150 male civilian patients and contrasted with similar data from a study of wartime casualties. Efforts were made to have the two groups comparable in essential respects and to make sure that existing differences, such as age and past illness, between the two groups did not influence the results. The group of soldiers had very extensive wounds, were clear mentally, and were not in shock; many had had no morphine at all, yet less than one-fourth said, on being questioned, that they had enough pain to want anything done about it. The percentages of patients desiring narcotics were 32 and 83 for the military and the civilian groups respectively. There was no dependable relation between the extent of a pathological wound and the pain experienced. No significant difference was found between the pain of sudden injury and that of chronic illness. The intensity of suffering is largely determined by what the pain means to the patient. This emphasizes the impossibility of appraising, by current experimental techniques at least, the power of analgesic agents in man. It also means that the indiscriminate administration of powerful analgesics to all injured individuals is unsound.

Galenism: Rise and Decline of a Medical Philosophy

1974-10-01

George Rosen , Owsei Temkin

Owsei Temkin is the most outstanding historian of medicine alive today, and it is possible that we shall never again see in this discipline a scholar of his brilliance and … Owsei Temkin is the most outstanding historian of medicine alive today, and it is possible that we shall never again see in this discipline a scholar of his brilliance and versatility.Since his first paper of 1927 he has written on a great variety of subjects, ranging from Ancient Egypt to nineteenth-century physiology, each publication being a model of impeccable scholarship.Despite his catholic tastes in the historical and philosophical aspects of medicine, Temkin has always been greatly attracted to the medicine of Classical Antiquity, the topic to which he contributed so significantly in his first few years as a medical historian.It is therefore wholly appropriate that, when invited to give the four Messenger Lectures at Cornell University in the autumn of 1970, he should select for his title, "Galenism.Rise and fall of a medical philosophy".Their publication now is an important event in the history of medicine, for this book not only presents a superb account of the most influential medical system in history, but it is also a model of how historical material should be presented.It does this at two levels: one for the transient student and one for the committed scholar.The text, with some modifica- tions, is as presented to those with little background in medical history; it can, never- theless, be read with advantage by the professional.The extensive footnotes amplify and document the text for the scholar, and they demonstrate how the skilled writer can weave an orchestral pattern with the main theme stated in the text, supported by subtle elaborations at the foot of the page.Professor Temkin is a master of this art.The content of the book deserves no less praise.First, the ideal model of medicine that Galen sought without success, but with achievements worthy of the greatest praise when viewed in the light of his times, is discussed.As a medical philosophy it was to influence the West for centuries and the way in which it grew during and after his day is traced with the liberal use of Greek, Latin and Arabic sources.Its dominance throughout the Middle Ages and then the challenge of the Renaissance are described, and the final chapter, "Fall and after life" shows how, after being destroyed as a scientific philosophy in the seventeenth century, it lingered on until at the beginning of the nineteenth century it was displaced by our medicine."By 1870 medicine was firmly launched on its new scientific course, which gave it the intellectual unity it had lost after the downfall of Galenism as a medical philosophy. .." (p.191).The tech- nique of drawing comparisons between deposed and present-day ideas is most useful for the modern student.In addition to the 545 footnotes, there is an extensive biblio- graphy, and excellent index.As the author admits, it would be impossible to deal with the whole story of Galenism.Hopefully, others stimulated and inspired by Temkin's contributions will add to the account.Even if they do so, it is very unlikely that they will equal this remarkable work.It should be in every library with interest in the history of medicine and, it should be read by teacher and student alike, both for its content and also as a model of historiography we could do well to emulate.To increase its availability, it is to be hoped that a cheaper version will eventually be made available.

At the age of 78, Poul Astrup, best known for his work on the measurement of blood gases, has given us a book that belongs on the shelves of every salt and water enthusiast. Even those less devoted to this discipline will not be disappointed. The text is a gold mine of medical and cultural history that can be enjoyed by physicians, physiologists, and lay persons. Salt and Water in Culture and Medicineis a compact, handsome volume. It is richly illustrated with an eclectic collection of prints that include paintings and photographs of our scientific forebears (Alcibiades, Arrhenius, Addison, Darrow, Donnan, Gamble, Gibbs, Haldane, Moore, Nernst, Paracelsus, Pasteur, Peters, Priestley, Ringer, Starling, van't Hoff, to name a few), numerous etchings, and even a mural painting taken from the wall of an

He was a prolific writer on anatomy, physiology, diagnosis and prognosis, pulse-doctrine, pharmacology, therapeutics, and the theory of medicine; but he also wrote extensively on philosophical topics, making original contributions to logic and the philosophy of science, and outlining a scientific epistemology which married a deep respect for empirical adequacy with a commitment to rigorous rational exposition and demonstration. He was also a vigorous polemicist, deeply involved in the doctrinal disputes among the medical schools of his day. This volume offers an introduction to and overview of Galen's achievement in all these fields, while seeking also to evaluate that achievement in the light of the advances made in Galen scholarship over the past thirty years.

In fact, we documented from known texts how ancient physicians recognized memory loss in the elderly, Solon to Galen, who gave stereotypical descriptions of the negative aspects of old age in historical sequence. Texts from the Roman era with references to elderly memory loss did not have any earlier Greek counterpart, suggesting historically novel environmental and lifestyle factors in dementia that are associated with the modern dementia epidemic. Our initial inquiry, while historically rigorous, warrants further discussion.

Descriptions of the phantom limbs in literature

Up … Phantom is a false sensation, an illusion of the presence of a lost body part. A distinction is made between phantom sensations (painless phantom), phantom pain and amputation pain. Up to 98% of patients soon after amputation experience sensations in the lost body part: they feel warmth or cold, itching, pressure and even feel the position of the phantom limb in space. Often these sensations are accompanied by excruciating pain, significantly reducing the quality of life of patients. Descriptions of Phantom have been recorded since the beginning of the 16th century and are based on the stories of people with amputated limbs or from the retellings of doctors, and caused skeptical disbelief in some specialists. The review considers descriptions of phantom limbs in autobiographical and fiction literature and analyzes them.

Введение. На современном этапе в детской нейрохирургии при лечении постгеморрагической гидроцефалии (ПГГ) широко применяется методика вентрикуло-субгалеального дренирования (ВСГД), которая обеспечивает пролонгированное дренирование желудочков, санацию желудочков от крови с устранением их … Введение. На современном этапе в детской нейрохирургии при лечении постгеморрагической гидроцефалии (ПГГ) широко применяется методика вентрикуло-субгалеального дренирования (ВСГД), которая обеспечивает пролонгированное дренирование желудочков, санацию желудочков от крови с устранением их динамической окклюзии, но при этом не обеспечивает физиологического оттока ликвора в субарахноидальное пространство (САП). Существует необходимость обобщения опыта использования данной методики у недоношенных детей с учетом технических возможностей, механизмов дисфункции и повышения эффективности функционирования дренажа по восстановлению ликвородинамики, оттока и всасывания ликвора. Цель. Анализ случаев применения ВСГД и лечебного комплекса субгалеального вентрикуло-субарахноидального стентирования при ПГГ у недоношенных детей. Материалы и методы. В статье обобщен опыт использования ВСГД при лечении ПГГ у 246 недоношенных детей за период с 2000 по 2024 г., Крым. Выделены 2 группы. В первой группе у 152 детей выполнялось ВСГД с отведением ликвора в сформированный субгалеальный карман. Во второй группе у 94 детей произведено одновременное отведение ликвора из желудочков в субгалеальный карман и САП авторской системой вентрикуло-субарахноидального стентирования (ВСС). Результаты. Отмечено повышение показателей компенсации ПГГ при субгалеальном ВСС (р<0,001) за счет устранения окклюзии и восстановления циркуляции ликвора с сохранением краниоспинального комплаенса. Обеспечивается возможность санации ликвора физиологическим раствором через помпу системы, что позволяет исключить дисфункцию вентрикулярного и субгалеального дренажей. Субгалеальное ВСС позволяет сгладить перепады ВЧД в послеоперационном периоде с адаптацией резорбтивной емкости САП к нарастающему объему продукции ликвора первых месяцев. Заключение. Полученные данные позволяют расширить возможности лечения ПГГ по восстановлению ликвородинамики с эволюцией оперативного подхода от субгалеального дренирования к комплексу дренирования желудочков в субгалеальный карман и САП. Introduction. Currently, in pediatric neurosurgery in the treatment of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH), the technique of subgaleal drainage is widely used, which provides prolonged ventricular drainage, and ventricular sanitation from the blood with the elimination of their dynamic occlusion, but does not provide a physiological outflow of cerebrospinal fluid into the subarachnoid space (SAS). There is a need to generalize the experience of using this technique in premature infants, taking into account technical capabilities, mechanisms of dysfunction and improving the efficiency of drainage to restore cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, outflow and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid. Purpose. To analyze cases of using the subgaleal drainage technique and the therapeutic complex of subgaleal ventriculo-subarachnoid stenting for PHH in preterm infants. Materials and methods. The article summarizes the experience of applying the subgaleal drainage when treating PHH in 246 premature infants in the period from 2000 to 2024, in Crimea. Two groups were created. In the first group, 152 children underwent the subgaleal drainage with cerebrospinal fluid removal into the formed subgaleal pocket. In the second group, 94 children underwent simultaneous removal of cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles into the subgaleal pocket and SAS using the author’s ventriculo-subarachnoid stenting (VSS) system. Results. There was an increase in PHH compensation in subgaleal VSS (p<0.001) due to the elimination of occlusion and restoration of cerebrospinal fluid circulation while maintaining craniospinal compliance. It allows sanitizing the cerebrospinal fluid with saline solution through the pump of the system, which enables excluding ventricular and subgaleal drainages dysfunction. Subgaleal VSS makes it possible to smooth out ICP fluctuations in the postoperative period with the adaptation of the absorptive capacity of SAS to the increasing volume of cerebrospinal fluid production in the first months. Conclusion. The data obtained allow expanding opportunities for PHH treatment in terms of restoring cerebrospinal fluid dynamics by evolution of the surgical approach from subgaleal drainage to a a complex of ventricular drainage into the subgaleal pocket and SAS.

Avicenna considers a strong relation between the Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT), with other body organs, including the joints. Specifically, he regards disorders of the stomach as the most important underlying cause of arthritis. The present review study aims to collect the available scientific evidence on the role of the stomach in OA in order to provide a new insight of the gut-joint axis based on Persian Medicine (PM) theory. In this narrative review, the term “vajae-al-mafasel” was searched (the equivalent term for arthritis) in Avicenna’s medical masterpiece, Canon of Medicine. Additionally, PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases were queried with keywords including OA, gut, stomach, PM, and systems biology. After gathering data, they were classified, coded, analyzed, and compared. Mechanisms that play a role in the GUT-OA axis include: 1) Gut Microbiota (GM) dysbiosis; 2) contribution of GM metabolites; 3) leaky gut syndrome; 4) bacteria transfer phenomenon; and 5) Metabolism disturbance. Growing evidence shows the pivotal role of the stomach, as part of the GIT, in the balance of metabolic functions and gut-joint axis. the role of the stomach is discussed in OA in the four sections: maintaining the metabolic balance by stomach, bone metabolism and gastric acid, controlling cartilage homeostasis by gastric hormones, gastric microbiota dysbiosis and OA.

Aim: To evaluate the professional regulations, clinical practices and barriers to providing specialized optometry services in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Methods: Between April and September 2024, this cross-sectional survey collected data on professional regulations, clinical practices and barriers to specialized optometry services from 383 optometrists in the Eastern Mediterranean Region countries that recognize optometry as a profession. The data were analysed using SPSS version 29 and descriptive analysis was conducted. Results: Eighty percent of the respondents said there was national legislation and mandatory registration to obtain a practicing license in their countries. Almost all the optometrists said they had authority to prescribe spectacles (97.9%) and dispense contact lenses (94.3%), while only 29.2% said they were licensed to prescribe therapeutic drugs. Almost all the respondents (95.6%) assessed visual acuity, while only 18.1% performed contact tonometry. Insufficient training (33.6%) and lack of equipment (29.3%) were the main barriers to providing specialized optometry services. Conclusion: There are significant variations in the scope of optometry practice in the Eastern Mediterranean Region countries and optometrists primarily provide basic eye care services. There is a need to widen the scope of optometry practice in the region and provide more comprehensive training and equipment support to enable optometrists to meet the diverse and evolving eye care needs.

Elle reposait sur une analyse de séries temporelles interrompues, permettant de mesurer l’effet d’une intervention en vie réelle, sans groupe contrôle. Les 2 583 patients pris en charge par ce dispositif étaient majoritairement âgés (50,6 % ≥ 80 ans), polypathologiques (49,4 % avec score de comorbidité ≥ 2) et dépendants (84,6 % avec aide à domicile ou en institution). Le dispositif n’a pas réduit le nombre moyen d’hospitalisations aiguës (Δ = -6,3 contacts / mois ; IC95 = -17,9-5,3 ; p = 0,23). En revanche, les hospitalisations pour infections, confusion ou troubles hydroélectrolytiques ont diminué (Δ = 2,8 ; IC95 = 0,1-5,5 ; p = 0,043). Cette diminution a également été observée chez les résidents en institution (Δ = 0,8 ; IC95 = 0,0-1,7 ; p = 0,050), mais pas chez les plus de 80 ans (Δ =-1,0 ; IC95 = -2,8-0,8 ; p = 0,26). Une diminution importante des transports ambulanciers a été observée dans la population totale (Δ = 9,5 ; IC95 = 2,9-16,2 ; p = 0,006), chez les plus de 80 ans (Δ = 3,8 ; 0,9-6,6 ; p = 0,011) et en institution (Δ = 2,1 ; IC95 = 0,4-3,7 ; p = 0,014). Ces données plaident pour une efficacité ciblée d’infirmières spécialisées dans la gestion des épisodes aigus à domicile, en lien avec les médecins généralistes, en évitant certaines hospitalisations chez les plus fragiles.
