Primitive times saw illness attributed to spirits and demons, treated by witch doctors using herbs. Ancient Egyptians kept health records and used medicine, splinting fractures and bloodletting. Ancient Chinese used acupuncture and stone tools to treat disease. Greeks like Hippocrates established ethics for medicine through the Hippocratic Oath, while Aristotle dissected animals. Romans organized hospitals and Galen discovered anatomy through dissection of animals. The Dark Ages saw a decline until Renaissance where medical schools and anatomy study revived medicine. Major discoveries and pioneers then improved hygiene, vaccines, antibiotics, imaging, and more over centuries.

This document summarizes the history of medicine from primitive times to modern times in 3 main sections. It describes how primitive medicine was based on supernatural beliefs and focused on appeasing gods. It then discusses the development of Indian and Chinese medicine, highlighting important figures like Sushruta and theories like Ayurveda's tridosha. Finally, it reviews the evolution of medicine in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Middle Ages and the revivals and advances that have occurred since the Renaissance to modern times and the development of organizations like the WHO.
Medicine in antiquity
Medicine in antiquity was dominated by magical and religious beliefs, with health and illness seen through a cosmological lens. Medicine aimed to please gods through sacrifices, rituals, and prayers, while also attempting to drive out evil spirits through practices like witchcraft. Over time, traditions like Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and Egyptian practices developed, with Greeks later rejecting supernatural theories in favor of natural processes. The scientific medical revolution began with figures like Paracelsus challenging superstition, followed by advances in anatomy, epidemiology, and establishing germ theory, laying the foundations for preventive public health approaches.
EVOLUTION OF MEDICINE IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
The evolution of medicine is a vast and complex journey that spans thousands of years. It began with ancient civilizations like Egypt, India, China, and Greece, where medicine was often intertwined with spiritual and religious practices. Hippocrates, often called the "Father of Medicine," laid the foundation for a more systematic and observational approach in ancient Greece.

The document provides a history of psychiatry and psychiatric mental health nursing from ancient times to the 20th century. It discusses how mental illness was viewed through different eras including being attributed to demonic possession, humoral imbalances, and later scientific theories. Key figures like Hippocrates, Pinel, Rush, and Freud helped shift treatment from inhumane methods to more compassionate, psychological approaches. The development of asylums and later community-based care is outlined. Kenya's history included converting isolation centers to asylums and training more local psychiatric nurses over time.
History of medicine.pptx
Ancient cultures believed that illness was caused by violations of moral codes and gods as punishment. Early medical treatments were crude. Hippocrates established guidelines for physicians with his oath and believed illness was caused by imbalances of the four humors. In the 18th century, Edward Jenner developed vaccination against smallpox and Louis Pasteur recognized the relationship between bacteria and disease, establishing the field of microbiology. Later discoveries include Alexander Fleming inventing penicillin and Joseph Lister revolutionizing surgery with antiseptics.

This document provides an overview of medicine in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It discusses that during the Middle Ages, medical knowledge declined as Roman and Greek works were lost. Disease was often attributed to religious causes, and medical practices were limited. The Renaissance brought revivals in learning, anatomy, and the scientific method. Figures like Vesalius, Harvey, and Paracelsus advanced understandings of anatomy and circulation through observations and experimentation, moving away from past authorities like Galen. Overall, medicine transitioned from being primarily religiously-based to increasingly scientific and evidence-driven over these eras.
Medicine in different culture and ghe way of treatment
This document provides an overview of medicine in different ancient cultures, including:
- Primitive medicine incorporated superstition, religion, magic and witchcraft. Disease was believed to be caused by evil spirits.
- Ayurveda and Siddha are two main systems of Indian medicine, while Unani-Tibb and Homeopathy originated elsewhere. Traditional Chinese Medicine uses Yin-Yang and acupuncture.
- Egyptian medicine reached its peak under Imhotep, featuring specialists in different body parts. Mesopotamian medicine incorporated magic, dreams, and divination of the liver.
- Greek medicine flourished under Hippocrates, who emphasized clinical observation over magic. His oath established medical ethics. Humorism
Medical Ethics.pptx
Medical ethics examines the moral issues that arise in medicine. It has a long history dating back to ancient times when diseases were viewed as supernatural. Over time, medicine became more scientific and data-driven. In Ethiopia, modern medicine was introduced in the 16th century and hospitals were established starting in the early 20th century. There are several frameworks for analyzing medical ethics issues, including utilitarianism which focuses on producing the greatest benefit for the greatest number, deontology which emphasizes moral duties and rules, and virtue ethics which focuses on good character.
The Art of Medicine in Ancient Egypt .
Ancient Egyptian medicine was one of the earliest and most advanced systems of medical care in history. Some key points:
- Egyptian physicians practiced as early as 3000 BC and made important advances in anatomy, wound dressing, bone-setting, and using medical plants.
- Major medical papyri like the Edwin Smith and Ebers Papyri show Egyptians had extensive knowledge of medicine and anatomy, diagnosing and treating many illnesses.
- Egyptian doctors were specialists in areas like eyes, teeth, and internal medicine. Hospitals called Houses of Life trained new physicians.
- While magic and religion played some role, Egyptians also developed rational theories on anatomy and disease transmission through blocked channels like the N
The history of health and medicine
The document traces the history and development of health and medicine from prehistoric times to the present, highlighting several important developments. In prehistoric times, people believed diseases were caused by demons and witch doctors used herbal remedies. During ancient times, childbirth and infancy were extremely dangerous, with 1 in 8 women and 1 in 4 babies dying. Hippocrates in ancient Greece was considered the father of modern medicine for establishing medicine as a science based on observation rather than superstition. Major developments included the invention of the microscope during the Renaissance, germ theory and antisepsis during the Industrial Revolution, and antibiotics and modern medical technologies in the 20th century. The future may include more advanced prosthetics, 3D
History of lab medicine
- Laboratory medicine began over 6000 years ago with the ancient practice of uroscopy, or urine analysis, which was the primary diagnostic tool used by physicians from ancient Egypt and Babylonia through the 17th century.
- Physicians would examine the color, clarity, sediments, foam, and other properties of urine samples to make diagnoses. This practice of urine analysis, along with other early diagnostic tests involving wheat and barley, formed the foundation for modern medical laboratory practice.
- Over thousands of years, physicians and scientists gradually developed new laboratory techniques in hematology, microbiology, clinical chemistry and other areas that expanded diagnostic capabilities and laid the groundwork for modern specialties such as genetics and personalized medicine.

Hippocrates was an ancient Greek physician who studied people to develop medical ideas and believed illness was caused by imbalances in the body's four humours rather than gods. Galen built on Hippocrates' theories and wrote extensively, though his ideas were disproven over 1000 years later. Vesalius used dissection to prove many of Galen's anatomical theories wrong. Harvey discovered the circulation of blood. Jenner developed the smallpox vaccine. Simpson introduced ether and chloroform for surgery. Pasteur and Koch established germ theory and developed vaccines.
The dark ages
The document summarizes medicine and treatments during the Dark Ages in Europe following the Black Death plague epidemic from 1346-1353 CE. Medical practices at the time were primitive and based on ancient humoral theory of balancing bodily fluids rather than science. Common treatments included bloodletting, herbal remedies, and prayer. The plague spread rapidly due to poor hygiene and sanitation practices and an estimated 50% of Europe's population died from the disease.

asmi gyn.pptx about ovarian cancer gynaecology
Ovarian cancer accounts for 3-4% of cancers in women and is the fourth most common cause of cancer death. Family history and genetic factors significantly increase risk. Symptoms are often vague until late stages when the cancer has spread. Diagnosis involves imaging tests and cancer antigen (CA125) blood levels. Most cancers are diagnosed at late stages. Treatment involves surgery to remove the ovaries and other organs, followed by chemotherapy. Despite aggressive treatment, survival rates remain low due to late stage diagnosis. Screening high-risk women aims to detect cancers earlier when treatment is most effective.
Phytotherapy presentation on phytotherapy
Phytotherapy can be used to treat various chronic conditions like knee osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, digestive issues, PMS symptoms, immunity issues, stress, anxiety, depression, respiratory infections, colds and sore throats. Both herbal medicine (phytotherapy) and homeopathy involve plant-based remedies, although homeopathy also uses animal and mineral substances. Phytotherapies carry risks like toxicity, containing heavy metals or bacteria, drug interactions, and unclear dosages. Certain groups should avoid herbal medicines, like those taking other medications, with serious health conditions, undergoing surgery, pregnant/breastfeeding women, the elderly, and children. It's important to tell your doctor about all herbal medicines before surgery

CAPNOGRAPHY and CAPNOMETRY/ ETCO2 .pptx
End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.

Exploring the Benefits of Binaural Hearing: Why Two Hearing Aids Are Better T...Ear Solutions (ESPL)
Binaural hearing using two hearing aids instead of one offers numerous advantages, including improved sound localization, enhanced sound quality, better speech understanding in noise, reduced listening effort, and greater overall satisfaction. By leveraging the brain’s natural ability to process sound from both ears, binaural hearing aids provide a more balanced, clear, and comfortable hearing experience. If you or a loved one is considering hearing aids, consult with a hearing care professional at Ear Solutions hearing aid clinic in Mumbai to explore the benefits of binaural hearing and determine the best solution for your hearing needs. Embracing binaural hearing can lead to a richer, more engaging auditory experience and significantly improve your quality of life.

The Importance of Black Women Understanding the Chemicals in Their Personal C...
Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.
