Download or read book On the Shoulders of Medicine's Giants written by Robert B. Taylor and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-22 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical history offers us many wise thoughts, a few misguided notions, and a host of intriguing back-stories. On the Shoulders of Medicine’s Giants presents a selection of these, and tells how the words of medicine’s “giants”—such as Hippocrates, Sir William Osler, Francis Weld Peabody, and Elizabeth Kübler-Ross—are relevant to medical science and practice in the 21st century. Which physician was the inspiration for the fictional character Sherlock Holmes, and what did he identify as "the real essential factor in all successful medical diagnosis"? What did Sigmund Freud describe as his “tyrant,” and what might this mean for doctors today? Do you know the attributed source of the well-known aphorism about horses and zebras, and what we believe this physician actually said? This book answers these questions and more, while also providing fascinating tales about each individual quoted. On the Shoulders of Medicine’s Giants is recommended for practicing physicians, students, and residents, as well as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and anyone involved in patient care who wants to understand the historical and epistemological foundations of what we do each day in practice.

Book Synopsis Standing on the Shoulders of Giants by : John B. Tasker
Download or read book Standing on the Shoulders of Giants written by John B. Tasker and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often neglected in histories of medicine is the contribution veterinarians and animal disease researchers have made to the study of human illness. Standing on the Shoulders of Giants contains fourteen chapters describing independent events in veterinary research that provided new understanding of human medical problems and their management. Animal disease investigations advanced a wide range of medical disciplines including bacteriology, virology, and immunology. Innovative treatments for orthopedic and infertility problems of human beings have had their origins in solutions developed initially for veterinary problems. The widely used blood thinner, coumadin, and the popular rodenticide, warfarin, were developed based on intensive study of a strange disease of cattle. Progress in the prevention and treatment of human parasitic diseases in developing countries has been made through anti-parasite drugs created primarily for the treatment of parasites of domestic animals in the more advanced countries. Third parties have acknowledged these special contributions. The nominees and recipients of the prestigious Lasker Awards and the Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine have included persons whose research was based upon earlier work on spontaneous animal diseases or whose basic medical education has been in veterinary medicine. The essential role of veterinary medicine in the larger realm of health sciences has been recognized for more than 200 years by the participation of veterinarians and animal disease researchers in the national academies established to advise the government on matters of public health. Standing on the Shoulders of Giants is of interest to all concerned with animals, animal science, and veterinary medicine, and to those who care about contemporary human medicine and its origins. About the Author: John Tasker is dean and professor emeritus at Michigan State University. He has a long and distinguished career in veterinary medicine as a clinical pathologist, educator, and researcher. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Doctor of Philosophy degrees at Cornell University, where he later served on the faculty for many years. He was dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University for ten years before his retirement in 1995. Tasker lives in South Florida.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the intriguing and often colorful stories of the medical words we use. The origins of clinical and scientific terms can be found in Greek and Latin myths, in places such as jungles of Uganda and the islands of the Aegean Sea, in the names of medicine’s giants such as Hippocrates and Osler, and in some truly unlikely sources. In this book you will learn the answers to questions such as: • What disease was named for an American space flight? • Do you know the echoic word for elephantine rumbling of the bowels? • What drug name was determined by drawing chemists’ notes out of a hat? • What are surfer’s eye, clam digger’s itch, and hide porter’s disease? This book can give you new insights into the terms we use every day in the clinic, hospital, and laboratory. Knowing a word’s history assists in understanding not only what it means, but also some of the connotative subtleties of terms used in diagnosis and treatment. The Amazing Language of Medicine is intended for the enrichment of physicians, other health professionals, students, and anyone involved in clinical care and medical science.
