Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Progress of Anatomy and Surgery During the Present Century The first six of these Lectures were delivered in the month of June 1864, and the rest in the same month of 1865, at the Royal College of Surgeons of England. They were published soon after in "The Lancet;" and by the polite and liberal permission of the proprietors of that journal, the original woodcuts have been placed at my disposal for the illustration of these pages. The subjects with which they profess to deal are so large in their scope, that twelve lectures of an hour's length each were by no means sufficient for the intention.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lecture Introductory to the Course on Anatomy and Surgery, in the University of Virginia, for the Session of 1837-8 When the first teaches us simply the exterior conforma tion of organs, their volume, situation in the body, den sity and other physical properties, it is termed Special or Descriptive Anatomy. This was the first mode of descrip tion of organs pursued by the ancient Anatomists, and has by the successive discoveries of zealous investigators, reach ed a degree of perfection yet to be obtained in other branches of Anatomical Science. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries especially, the labours of the great Italian Anatomists had so nearly exhausted the field of discovery, that little else was left for their successors, than to classify these known facts, and thus adapt them for all the applications of which they were susceptible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Surgical Anatomy The following pages are an abstract of the lectures on surgical anatomy which form one division of the summer course on practical surgery delivered by the Author. These lectures are now published in the hope that they may be of some use to the student of surgery. They are also intended to encourage the student of anatomy, and to show him the important practical bearings of the details of anatomy. They do not em brace the surgical anatomy of the female organs of generation, the eye, and ear, as these subjects do not come within the scope of a course of lectures devoted to the relations of anatomy to general surgery.

Download or read book Modern Drug use written by R.D. Mann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (1493-1541), commonly called Paracelsus, was both one of the most original medical thinkers of the sixteenth century and was the man who made opium (as laudanum), arsenic, copper sulphate, iron, lead, mercury, potassium sulphate, and sulphur part of the pharmacopoeia. A man of many parts, but a pioneer chemist, Paracelsus can be regarded as the originator of a body of work which was the precursor of chemical pharmacology and therapeutics. To no small extent he stands, therefore, as a father figure of the modern pharmaceutical industry. Today's physician who wants to look at that industry since the days of Paracelsus and weigh the great gains against the problems soon encounters difficulties. To diminish them, this Enquiry approaches its subject from historical principles. This gives increased perspective to questions asked late in the boo- these questions being prompted by medical practice outside the industry and some twenty years of drug development activity within it. In antiquity medicines often seem to have been used as part of magic and primitive man thought disease to be due to supernatural forces which he could influence. The legacy remains - and in trying to sort out what is rational in our use of drugs today we have to separate our small bits of science from the ancient magic and from modern commercial pressures and conditioning.

Download or read book Surgical Anatomy written by Joseph Maclise and published by E-Kitap Projesi & Cheapest Books. This book was released on 2024-01-25 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of this work is to present to the student of medicine and the practitioner removed from the schools, a series of dissections demonstrative of the relative anatomy of the principal regions of the human body. Whatever title may most fittingly apply to a work with this intent, whether it had better be styled surgical or medical, regional, relative, descriptive, or topographical anatomy, will matter little, provided its more salient or prominent character be manifested in its own form and feature. The work, as I have designed it, will itself show that my intent has been to base the practical upon the anatomical, and to unite these wherever a mutual dependence was apparent. That department of anatomical research to which the name topographical strictly applies, as confining itself to the mere account of the form and relative location of the several organs comprising the animal body, is almost wholly isolated from the main questions of physiological and transcendental interest, and cannot, therefore, be supposed to speak in those comprehensive views which anatomy, taken in its widest signification as a science, necessarily includes. While the anatomist contents himself with describing the form and position of organs as they appear exposed, layer after layer, by his dissecting instruments, he does not pretend to soar any higher in the region of science than the humble level of other mechanical arts, which merely appreciate the fitting arrangement of things relative to one another, and combinative to the whole design of the form or machine of whatever species this may be, whether organic or inorganic. The descriptive anatomist of the human body aims at no higher walk in science than this, and hence his nomenclature is, as it is, a barbarous jargon of words, barren of all truthful signification, inconsonant with nature, and blindly irrespective of the cognitio certa ex principiis certis exorta. Still, however, this anatomy of form, although so much requiring purification of its nomenclature, in order to clothe it in the high reaching dignity of a science, does not disturb the medical or surgical practitioner, so far as their wants are concerned. Although it may, and actually does, trammel the votary who aspires to the higher generalizations and the development of a law of formation, yet, as this is not the object of the surgical anatomist, the nomenclature, such as it is, will answer conveniently enough the present purpose. The anatomy of the human form, contemplated in reference to that of all other species of animals to which it bears comparison, constitutes the study of the comparative anatomist, and, as such, establishes the science in its full intent. But the anatomy of the human figure, considered as a species, per se, is confessedly the humblest walk of the understanding in a subject which, as anatomy, is relationary, and branches far and wide through all the domain of an animal kingdom. While restricted to the study of the isolated human species, the cramped judgment wastes in such narrow confine; whereas, in the expansive gaze over all allying and allied species, the intellect bodies forth to its vision the full appointed form of natural majesty; and after having experienced the manifold analogies and differentials of the many, is thereby enabled, when it returns to the study of the one, to view this one of human type under manifold points of interest, to the appreciation of which the understanding never wakens otherwise. If it did not happen that the study of the human form (confined to itself) had some practical bearing, such study could not deserve the name of anatomical, while anatomical means comparative, and whilst comparison implies inductive reasoning.

The Fabrica of Andreas Vesalius sheds a fresh light on the book’s vibrant reception history and documents how physicians, artists, theologians and collectors filled its pages with copious annotations. It also offers a novel interpretation of how an early anatomical textbook became one of the most coveted rare books for collectors in the 21st century.
