This peer-reviewed volume collects papers from the History of Medicine Days conference, exploring topics from Ancient Medicine to Eugenics, Military Medicine, and Surgery. The book features the keynote address on the misuse of genetics by Dr. Garland E. Allen.
The Proceedings of the 20th Anniversary History of Medicine Days Conference 2011
This volume from the History of Medicine Days conference comprises insights into the histories of Women, Health and Reproduction; Institutes and Deinstitutionalization; and the Brain, Mind, and Mindlessness. It includes Dr. George Weisz’s keynote on chronic disease.
Deriving from a medicine history conference, this set of proceedings comprises topics from areas such as the history of health care systems, medical sciences and public health. It is also well-illustrated with diagrams and images pertaining to the history of medicine.
Despite its key role in medicine, epidemiology is faltering. No other specialty can track diseases in populations, assess health risks, or evaluate medical care. A lesson from COVID-19 is that enhancing this work is crucial for public health. This volume shows how.
This book pioneers automated control systems in mining, introducing the first mathematical models of Lamb wave propagation and ultrasound attenuation in randomly heterogeneous media.
The use of glycated haemoglobin was a major step in antidiabetic treatment and led to the identification of cell receptors. The aim of this study is to explore how one such cell receptor, RAGE, offers new therapeutic possibilities for diabetes, ageing, and Alzheimer’s disease.
