Book excerpt: This book is an account of the history of medicine in its widest sense as practiced in the Maltese islands during the Prehistoric and classical periods, when medical practice was primarily based on superstition, religion and magic.

Download or read book Medical Perspectives of Battle Conflicts in Malta written by Charles Savona-Ventura and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical services have been associated with the military since the days of Ancient Greece. This relationship was essential not only in ensuring the front-line treatment of injuries sustained by soldiers but also to treat the diseases that accompany the disruption in the social circumstances brought on by warfare. The expectation of a military conflict requires the commanders in the field to draw up a military operation plan. This war plan varied according to the defined objectives, often being differently viewed by the combatants on either side of the conflict. There was in addition the aspect of using biological agents as weapons of warfare. There are numerous records of the use of biological weapons in antiquity. It is therefore not surprising that medical personnel played a very important role in battle plans and were generally highly regarded by the commanders and troops these medics serviced.
Download or read book Contemporary Medicine in Malta 1798 1979 written by Charles Savona-Ventura and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-05-08 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the final volume of a series of books by the same author covering the history of medicine in the Maltese Islands from the prehistoric age right through the modern period. This volume deals with the medical practice during the last two-hundred years, a period that saw the final phase of the emergence of the scientific basis of disease understanding and management. The Contemporary Period in the Maltese Islands saw its start with political upheaval resulting in the ousting of the Hospitaller Order of Saint John by the french, and the eventual ousting of the new rulers with the Islands falling within the dominion of the British Empire. The book looks at the efforts to re-establish and update public health legislation, review social welfare services, and medical education. It further reviews the history of various medical conditions and their management in the light of the new scientific advances.
Download or read book The School of Salernum written by Henry Ebenezer Handerson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School of Salernum: An Historical Sketch of Medieval Medicine On the other hand, Malgaigne and Daremberg5 agree that there is no evidence of any knowledge of Arabian medicine at Salernum prior to the time of Constantine the African, toward the close of the eleventh century. On one point, however, in the history of the School of Salernum all writers happily agree: I refer to the important influence exerted upon its development by the Benedictine monks of Monte Casino. We have seen that several writers on the history of medicine believe that the school was founded by the monks of this famous monastery. Whether this be so or not, the monastery of Monte Casino, it self a school of medicine of wide reputation in its day, and cer' tainly intimately connected with the School of Salernum, de serves, and will, I trust, excuse, a short digression from our main subject.
