Introduction to the history of medicine
During the prehistoric period from 3000 BC to 43 AD, people believed illness was caused by spirits and used charms and plant materials as treatments. In ancient civilizations like Egypt, Greece and Rome, the first doctors developed but most beliefs were still based on superstition. The Middle Ages saw some medical progress but also decline as knowledge was lost, and life expectancy decreased. The Renaissance period saw a "rebirth" of learning from ancient times, though health did not improve much. The Industrial Revolution led to discoveries of disease causes and cures like vaccinations, improving life expectancy. The 20th century saw the most medical progress in history with causes of most diseases discovered and prevention and cures available.

Healthcare was provided by specialized practitioners like ashipu (exorcists) and asu (physicians). Treatments included charms, spells, herbal remedies, and some rational medical practices. Sources of information on Mesopotamian medicine include ancient medical texts, legal codes, and archaeological remains.
GALEN
Galen was born in 129 AD in Pergamon to a wealthy family. His father wanted him to study politics or philosophy, but he had a dream where the god Asclepius told him Galen should study medicine. Galen began studying medicine at age 16 and later traveled to Alexandria to examine wounds and skeletons. He practiced medicine based on the theory of the four humors. While some of Galen's ideas about human anatomy were later proven false due to relying on animal experiments alone, he made several important discoveries, including that arteries contain blood and that urine is formed by the kidneys rather than the bladder.
Byzantium and caliphates
The Byzantine Empire inherited advanced water and waste systems from antiquity, as seen in Constantinople's construction. Aqueducts supplied wells, fountains, and underground cisterns for centuries. Baths were common in early Byzantine cities, though they later declined as public spaces. Medicine was based on Hippocrates and Galen, with physicians like Oribasius and Alexander of Tralles compiling Greek works. Interest in herbal medicine grew due to works like Dioscorides' De Materia Medica. Monastic hospitals emerged, improving on earlier models, as Byzantine medicine incorporated Arabic influences through translations.
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.

Power Point Greek Medicine
Greek medicine was based on the belief that illness was a punishment from the gods. Patients would pray in healing temples to be cured. Priests would put patients to sleep and have snakes slide across their bodies, which was thought to cure them. The Hippocratic Oath, dating back to the 4th century BC, was authored by Hippocrates and had doctors swear to treat patients to the best of their ability. Today's doctors take a modern version of this oath. Hippocrates was a famous Greek physician from the island of Cos who taught medicine and healed many people, including the Macedonian king who had tuberculosis. Greek medicine also utilized the theory of four humors to balance the body - phlegm,

Dr. John Lupiano is an internal medicine physician in New York with over 27 years of experience. Internal medicine has existed in the United States for over a century, with the Association of American Physicians advocating for the field. In 1895, the AAP president first used the term "internal medicine" and envisioned physicians dedicating 15 years to postgraduate study in the field. In 1915, the American College of Physicians was formed to represent internal medicine and later partnered with the American Medical Association to create the American Board of Internal Medicine to regulate certification of internists through written and oral exams, demonstrating strong knowledge of topics related to internal medicine.
Highlights of the History of Medicine Division
The document provides an overview of the collections held by the History of Medicine Division, including monographs, serials, manuscripts, prints, photographs, and audiovisual materials covering the history of medicine from the 13th century to before 1970.

History of anatomy
The document discusses the history of human anatomy from ancient times to the Renaissance. It describes how early Greek thinkers like Alcmaeon, Empedocles, and Hippocrates began the intellectual development of anatomy by studying animal anatomy and making inferences about the human body. Aristotle made important contributions through his work in comparative anatomy and embryology. However, the greatest advances were made by Herophilus and Galen during the 3rd century BC in Alexandria, where they were the first to conduct formal human dissections and describe anatomical structures. The Renaissance brought a revival of anatomical study building on the work of these early pioneers.
Victorianism
The Victorian Era saw major social, economic, and technological changes in England. Industrialization moved many women into paid work and expanded the voting rights for males. Intellectually, Darwin's theory of evolution was influential and education was seen as a path out of poverty. However, living conditions were difficult, with long work days, child labor, unsafe housing, and lack of sanitation in cities. Women had limited roles and rights, though access to education was growing. Debates addressed women's place in society and politics.

History of medical ethics
Medical ethics in China can be traced back to ancient times when an independent medical profession developed during the Zhou Dynasty. Ancient physicians emphasized experience over magic and paid attention to prognosis and whether a patient was treatable. During the Han Dynasty, Confucianism shaped Chinese culture and medicine, emphasizing benevolence or universal love and treating all patients equally regardless of status. These traditional values of caring for patients and virtue continue to influence medical ethics in China today alongside introduced Western theories and standards.

Traditional medicine of india
Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine native to India that is based on balancing the three doshas (bodily humors) of vata, pitta, and kapha. The earliest Ayurvedic texts date back to 1500 BC and are found in Hindu scriptures like the Atharvaveda and Suśruta Saṃhitā. Ayurveda views health as a balance of physical, mental and emotional well-being. Diagnosis evaluates the doshas, and treatments emphasize herbal medicines, yoga, and lifestyle. The goal is to ensure proper functioning of the body's channels to prevent disease.

A history of public health
- Studying history helps understand how current predicaments relate to those of the past and what solutions have been tried.
- Early civilizations viewed disease through supernatural lenses and focused on religious practices rather than health. Medicine men used herbs, amulets, and ceremonies.
- Ancient medical traditions developed in places like India, China, Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Arab world, and Mesopotamia with varying theories of health involving humors or elements. Key figures advanced knowledge of anatomy, surgery, and clinical practices.

Egyptian Medicine 2 Nmc#
The document discusses Egyptian beliefs about medicine, which was closely tied to their religious beliefs. It describes their theory of channels, where they believed the heart was the center of a network of vessels connecting to all parts of the body. While this led to some understanding of anatomy from the practice of mummification, overall religion limited medical development, as illness was believed to be caused by gods rather than natural causes. Natural treatments were still within a religious context, and further dissection was forbidden which could have expanded anatomical knowledge.
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.

Victorian medicine and masculinity at home and abroad
This document discusses Michael Brown's lecture on the topic of Victorian medicine and masculinity. The first half of the lecture explores how 19th century doctors compared themselves to soldiers and invoked language of war and heroism. This military metaphor became dominant and served political ends by framing medicine as public service. Literature from this time period also portrayed doctors heroically. The Crimean War further conflated medical and martial masculinities. By the 1850s, medical discourse was saturated with war imagery and concepts of martial masculinity, influenced by growing nationalism and imperialism.
Things
This document discusses various perspectives on things and objects from the fields of philosophy, sociology, and cultural studies. It explores how objects can assert themselves as things when they stop functioning for human subjects.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis - Pathogenesis , Clinical Features & Manage...
In this presentation , SBP ( spontaneous bacterial peritonitis ) , which is a common complication in patients with cirrhosis and ascites is described in detail.

Editor's Notes
- Ideas about body were shared between medical practitioners and popular culture – patients talked about disease and sickness in same terms as healers Move on to Renaissance
- Renaissance 1400-1600ish Key time was in Italian city states Humanist movement was revival of ancient manuscripts Idea was that pure truth could be found in original sources Provoked wave of searching for ancient texts and then producing new translations which were thought to be closer to originals
- Physician up above reading from Galen Dissector performing dissection underneath Body is used to confirm Galen’s observations This is crucial point to appreciating how anatomy was to change Not learning from the body, simply using it as reinforcement of Galen’s written word
- Probably most important person in renaissance anatomy = Vesalius Was born into a medical family in Brussels, trained in Paris = important because this was centre of medical humanism Remember we’ve talked about Sylvius’ translations of Galen’s anatomy Appointed deomonstrator and lecturer in surgery at Padua Now what is interesting is the way in which drawing became fundamental to his way of doing anatomy He used drawings to teach students, even when standing by a dissected human body Think back to zodiac man we saw earlier, these drawings start to differ radically from those of the body in medieval times
- Now leave anatomy and move on to scientific revolution Irrevocable change in way Western society viewed natural world Scientific world view begins to overtake religious world view that we talked about earlier Only fair to say still matter of historical debate – was there a revolution or was there no such thing – talk a bit more about this later
