CDU 61.93/99 Prefácio O estudo da História da Medicina faz parte da formação humanística e cultural do mé- dico e, atualmente, nota-se um renovado interesse das Faculdades de Medicina em promover o ensino desta matéria, seja como disciplina obrigatória ou optativa em seu currículo, seja como curso de extensão. A escassez de livros acessíveis sobre História da Medicina escritos em português tem dificultado o seu ensino. Os poucos livros de autores brasileiros estão esgota- dos, assim como as raras traduções de autores clássicos. As traduções de livros mais recentes, publicados em inglês e que se encontram disponíveis, deixam a desejar por faltar-lhes o caráter didático necessário ao fim a que se destinam, além de apresentarem as dificuldades técnicas ligadas a esse tipo de tradução. Em 1996, em um encontro entre um de nós (JMR) e Ulysses Meneghelli, da Facul- dade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo, surgiu a ideia de editar um livro de História da Medicina cujo esboço chegou a ser elaborado e que contaria com a participação de vários colaboradores: médicos, professores e historiadores brasileiros que se interessassem em participar. Por uma série de razões, esse projeto não foi realizado. Contudo, permaneceu vivo durante todos esses anos. Nossa decisão de retomá-lo encontrou boa receptividade por parte dos autores convidados, o que nos permitiu torná-lo realidade. Houve o propósito de seguir uma exposição descritiva cronológica da medicina desde os seus primórdios até o século XVIII e, a partir daí, abordar em forma temática as principais conquistas científicas e tecnológicas que promoveram o progresso da moderna medicina, bem como temas diversos considerados relevantes na formação médica. Os capítulos finais foram dedicados à medicina brasileira, escritos por eminentes historiadores. Manifestamos nosso profundo agradecimento a todos os autores que tornaram possí- vel a execução desta obra e a enriqueceram com seu saber e sua experiência.

  • Foreign Fevers and Colonial Cures: Disease and Medicine in the British, French and Japanese Empires
    IJAPS, Vol. 2, No. 1 (May 2006) PREVENTIVE MEDICINE AND "MISSION CIVILISATRICE" Uses of the BCG Vaccine in French Colonial Vietnam between the Two World Wars Laurence Monnais Université de Montréal INTRODUCTION This paper is part of a broader analysis of French health policy in colonial Vietnam1 (1860–1945), and in particular of the campaigns organized in the region by the French administration against the most important epidemic and endemic diseases, during a key period in the history not only of the emergence of biomedicine and its principal preventive strategies, but also of state intervention into public health issues in Europe and in the West in general. The fight against tuberculosis, one of the most deadly local endemic diseases, is a very revealing example of the contents, complexity and ambiguity of French health policy in Vietnam. Probing the decision to use the Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine in the 1920s will be particularly helpful for better understanding the function of public health in the colonizing process and in the relationship between colonizer and colonized. The use of BCG in Vietnam, which was both early and extensive in comparison with its use in France as we will see, seems likely to provide us with important new ways of understanding the role of the colonial empire in driving scientific experimentation and "progress", in particular by revealing the colonial administration's autonomy from metropolitan imperialist directives which, when not absent, were often not responding to local needs. This analysis is based on a variety of sources, including several modern histories of tuberculosis, archival data on health conditions in Vietnam (Centre des Archives d'Outre-mer, Archives Nationales du Viêt nam, Institut Pasteur de Paris) and of course the medical and popular press, including both colonial and locally published "Indochinese" journals and newspapers.

El-Gendy and Catrin Sian Rutland 1. History of veterinary anatomy and physiology The anatomy of animals has long fascinated people, with mural paintings depicting the superficial anatomy of animals dating back to the Palaeolithic era [1]. However, evidence suggests that the earliest appearance of scientific anatomical study may have been in ancient Babylonia, although the tablets upon which this was recorded have perished and the remains indicate that Babylonian knowledge was in fact relatively limited [2]. As such, with early exploration of anatomy documented in the writing of various papyri, ancient Egyptian civilisation is believed to be the origin of the anatomist [3]. With content dating back to 3000 BCE, the Edwin Smith papyrus demonstrates a recognition of cerebrospinal fluid, meninges and surface anatomy of the brain, whilst the Ebers papyrus describes systemic function of the body including the heart and vas- culature, gynaecology and tumours [4]. The Ebers papyrus dates back to around 1500 bCe; however, it is also thought to be based upon earlier texts.

  • Godfrey Hounsfield ”Each New Discovery Brings with It the Seeds of Other, Future Inventions”
    HISTORY |ESSR Publications Godfrey Hounsfield ”Each new discovery brings with it the seeds of other, future inventions” By Iwona Sudoł-Szopińska (radiologist) and Marta Panas-Goworska (culture expert) 28 August was the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield. Godfrey Hounsfield was born on 28 August 1919 in Newark, England. His parents were farmers, and it was at their family farm where the talents of this Nobel Prize laureate showed for the first time. On his own, he mended various machines and even constructed a glider, which he did not forget to mention in his speech at the Nobel Prize gala in 1979: I made hazardous investigations of the principles of flight, launching myself from the tops of haystacks with a home-made glider; I almost blew myself up during exciting experiments using water-filled tar barrels and acetylene to see how high they could be propelled. It would seem that these skills would surely make him an outstanding student and later scientist. This, however, never happened. He was only average at school, and before World War II he enrolled voluntarily on the Royal Air Force (RAF), where he fathomed the arcana of electronics. After the war, owing to the support of his superiors from the army, he was accepted at the Faraday House Electrical Engineering College. This was not, however, a higher school of engineering as we understand it today, but rather a specialist school bridging vocational education with polytechnics that would appear later in the 1960s. This means that genius Godfrey Hounsfield was never formally an engineer and, although he worked in the area of broadly understood information technology, he would speak of his educational shortcomings with these words: You’ve got to use the absolute minimum of mathematics but have a tremendous lot of intuition.

  • Vaccines Through Centuries: Major Cornerstones of Global Health
    REVIEW published: 26 November 2015 doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2015.00269 Vaccines Through Centuries: Major Cornerstones of Global Health Inaya Hajj Hussein 1*, Nour Chams 2, Sana Chams 2, Skye El Sayegh 2, Reina Badran 2, Mohamad Raad 2, Alice Gerges-Geagea 3, Angelo Leone 4 and Abdo Jurjus 2,3 1 Department of Biomedical Sciences, Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine, Rochester, MI, USA, 2 Department of Anatomy, Cell Biology and Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon, 3 Lebanese Health Society, Beirut, Lebanon, 4 Department of Experimental and Clinical Neurosciences, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy Multiple cornerstones have shaped the history of vaccines, which may contain live- attenuated viruses, inactivated organisms/viruses, inactivated toxins, or merely segments of the pathogen that could elicit an immune response. The story began with Hippocrates 400 B.C. with his description of mumps and diphtheria. No further discoveries were recorded until 1100 A.D. when the smallpox vaccine was described. During the eighteenth century, vaccines for cholera and yellow fever were reported and Edward Jenner, the father of vaccination and immunology, published his work on smallpox. The nineteenth century was a major landmark, with the “Germ Theory of disease” of Louis Pasteur, the discovery of the germ tubercle bacillus for tuberculosis by Robert Koch, and the Edited by: isolation of pneumococcus organism by George Miller Sternberg. Another landmark was Saleh AlGhamdi, the discovery of diphtheria toxin by Emile Roux and its serological treatment by Emil King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Saudi Arabia Von Behring and Paul Ehrlih.

ARTICLES NEUROIMAGING AND THE "COMPLEXITY" OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT 0. CARTER SNEAD* The growing use of brain imaging technology to explore the causes of morally, socially, and legally relevant behavior is the subject of much discussion and contro- versy in both scholarly and popular circles. From the efforts of cognitive neuros- cientists in the courtroom and the public square, the contours of a project to transform capital sentencing both in principle and in practice have emerged. In the short term, these scientists seek to play a role in the process of capitalsentencing by serving as mitigation experts for defendants, invoking neuroimaging research on the roots of criminal violence to support their arguments. Over the long term, these same experts (and their like-minded colleagues) hope to appeal to the recent find- ings of their discipline to embarrass, discredit, and ultimately overthrow retributive justice as a principle of punishment.

John Bunyan, The life and death of Mr Badman, 1680 The origins: Humanity has probably recognized tuberculosis (TB) as a killer disease since the last Ice Age, if not before. Traces of tuberculosis lesions have been found in the lungs of 3000-year-old Egyptian mummies. The Greek physician Hippocrates (460-370 BC)- "the father of medicine" - wrote a description of the disease. Name: In Classic Greek times it was known as phthisis, from the verb phthinein, to waste away. Right up to the present century, it was commonly called consumption - for the same reason. But it was in the 17th century that a Dutchman, Franciscus Silvius of Leyden, flrst used the term "tubercle" to describe the knobby lesions found In the 1950s, tuberculosis patients were confined to bed and told to breathe the fresh air in in the lungs of people who had died of sanatoria built in the mountains. the wasting disease.

Zerhouni, MD [00:00:01.282] Geoff: This month, we have an extra special holiday treat for you. As you will soon hear, Elias Zerhouni has had profoundly broad influence both within the field of radiology and well beyond it through the establishment of national policies for the organization and prioritization of health sciences research, advising international heads of state on science and technology strategy, facilitating the global availability of vaccines, and reorganizing one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies to pivot from small molecule discovery to the development of therapeutic biologics. Elias Zerhouni has fearlessly approached his career as a series of professional disruptions that offer a lesson to us all in taking chances and making bold decisions. [00:00:51.453] No matter where you are in your career, as you listen to Elias's story, I invite you to reflect on your own journey and the decisions that you may be facing.
