Book Synopsis The Logical Structure of Clinical Medicine by : Ulrich Müller-Kolck
Download or read book The Logical Structure of Clinical Medicine written by Ulrich Müller-Kolck and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of medicine basically depends on three general concepts: an individual patient image, the individual disease course of this patient, and an expectation of the future development of the disease. Physicians use heuristics for the cognitive processing of these concepts. Basic clinical heuristics are put into three algorithms: a history-based-learning algorithm, a diagnostic-inferencing algorithm, and a prognostic-planning algorithm. A proto-theory of clinical reasoning for practicing physicians is proposed.
Book Synopsis The Logical Basis of Clinical Medicine by : Mark Rosenberg
Download or read book The Logical Basis of Clinical Medicine written by Mark Rosenberg and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an introduction to logical structure specifically as it relates to clinical medicine. Doctors use logic every day in clinical medicine, but many have had no formal training in the field. This book solves that problem. Symbolic logic uses symbols to create logical structures. In clinical medicine, doctors transform signs of disease into symbols which are related to each other to describe disease activity. This gives physicians the power to conceptualize disease, design treatments for disease, and monitor disease activity. The fabric of contemporary clinical medicine is woven by the application of symbolic logic to the analysis of disease. Symbolic logic lays the foundation for a science of clinical medicine. This book explores the function of signs, what happens when signs of disease are treated as symbols, and how the creation of functional relationships between signs of disease leads to the classification of diseases. This leads to the concept of the diagnosis - which is the basis for effective treatment. The logical structure of differential diagnoses is explained. This kind of understanding is invaluable to the medical student and essential for the astute clinician. By mastering the ideas presented here the physician, and other individuals involved in health care, will gain the tools necessary to promote clear and coherent thought in clinical medicine.
Book Synopsis Science and Logic in Medical Diagnosis by : Lee A Forstrom
Download or read book Science and Logic in Medical Diagnosis written by Lee A Forstrom and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-07-26 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinicians and patients know the importance of correct diagnosis for proper treatment. So important – a correct diagnosis – it is the first theme of this book. Several other themes are also important. A second theme is established as “cause and effect,” common or peculiar linked entities in at least some humans. A third theme deals with probabilities, both objective and statistical and/or subjective probabilities. The fourth theme covers the inhomogeneity among all humans. That is, all people are unique. Is science a theme? Not of this kind. Instead, science encompasses all of the themes above and others. Logic holds their framework. The diagnostic model above has been modified by allowing wider scope of inference similar to the earlier “differential diagnoses” model. A quite radical model called “Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM),” was created about thirty years ago. Its advocates depend largely on statistics, with little interest in science. Discussion and comparisons with traditional and EBM models argue here undesirable shortcomings of the latter. Far from dismissing science, but robust medical science, knowledge, experience and professional clinicians continues in caring her/his individual patients.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Analytic Philosophy of Medicine by : Kazem Sadegh-Zadeh
Download or read book Handbook of Analytic Philosophy of Medicine written by Kazem Sadegh-Zadeh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 1232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical practice is practiced morality, and clinical research belongs to normative ethics. The present book elucidates and advances this thesis by: 1. analyzing the structure of medical language, knowledge, and theories; 2. inquiring into the foundations of the clinical encounter; 3. introducing the logic and methodology of clinical decision-making, including artificial intelligence in medicine; 4. suggesting comprehensive theories of organism, life, and psyche; of health, illness, and disease; of etiology, diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, and therapy; and 5. investigating the moral and metaphysical issues central to medical practice and research. Many systems of (classical, modal, non-classical, probability, and fuzzy) logic are introduced and applied. Fuzzy medical deontics, fuzzy medical ontology, fuzzy medical concept formation, fuzzy medical decision-making and biomedicine and many other techniques of fuzzification in medicine are introduced for the first time.

Book Synopsis Medical Informatics Europe 85 by : F.H. Roger
Download or read book Medical Informatics Europe 85 written by F.H. Roger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) is a regional coordinating body for the National Informatics Societies of Europe. EFMI has organized a number of congresses. The Congresses in Cambridge 1978, Berlin 1979, Toulouse 1981, Dublin 1982 and Brussels 1984 were all successful in providing the wide variety of people in the caring and specialists in the computing profession with up-to-date inform ation from the expanding multidisciplinary field of medical inform atics. We hope that the sixth European Congress on Medical Informatics, MIE-85 in Helsinki will be equally successful. You have in your hand the pre-publication of papers to be presented at MIE-85 as well as the short abstracts of the posters. The proceed ings enable the participants to follow work presented at sessions that they are unable to attend. It also provides a permanent record with relevant bibliography for workers in the field of medical com puting. All the papers have been refereed and the referees' suggest ions incorporated in the final text. Rapid publication, using camera ready paper, reduces the time required for editing and indexing. The editorial board has worked hard to improve the standard of the communications and to reduce the number of errors. Very few papers did not arrive in time to be included in the proceedings: these are marked with * in the table of contents.
Book Synopsis Clinical Reasoning: Knowledge, Uncertainty, and Values in Health Care by : Daniele Chiffi
Download or read book Clinical Reasoning: Knowledge, Uncertainty, and Values in Health Care written by Daniele Chiffi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a philosophically-based, yet clinically-oriented perspective on current medical reasoning aiming at 1) identifying important forms of uncertainty permeating current clinical reasoning and practice 2) promoting the application of an abductive methodology in the health context in order to deal with those clinical uncertainties 3) bridging the gap between biomedical knowledge, clinical practice, and research and values in both clinical and philosophical literature. With a clear philosophical emphasis, the book investigates themes lying at the border between several disciplines, such as medicine, nursing, logic, epistemology, and philosophy of science; but also ethics, epidemiology, and statistics. At the same time, it critically discusses and compares several professional approaches to clinical practice such as the one of medical doctors, nurses and other clinical practitioners, showing the need for developing a unified framework of reasoning, which merges methods and resources from many different clinical but also non-clinical disciplines. In particular, this book shows how to leverage nursing knowledge and practice, which has been considerably neglected so far, to further shape the interdisciplinary nature of clinical reasoning. Furthermore, a thorough philosophical investigation on the values involved in health care is provided, based on both the clinical and philosophical literature. The book concludes by proposing an integrative approach to health and disease going beyond the so-called "classical biomedical model of care".
Book Synopsis Medical Persuasion by : Vic Velanovich
Download or read book Medical Persuasion written by Vic Velanovich and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-26 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book is a major contribution to the literature on persuasion in communication, and on doctor-patient communication, in particular. Written by a physician-scientist with deep experience on the topic, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of what makes an argument in medicine persuasive, outlining the characteristics of an argument that causes people to accept that the conclusion(s) of an argument are true. Although the book focuses on medical arguments in particular, the general approach offered by the author is appropriate for any informal argument. The central emphasis is that although sound logical construction and true premises are required to establish the logical truth of a conclusion, this is insufficient for persuasion to occur. Although formal logic can exist independent of human reception, real-world arguments must have both an arguer (the individual constructing the argument) and an audience (individuals listening and evaluating the argument). Whether the audience is capable of changing their world view is as important as the logical construction of the argument, maintains the author. To illustrate all points, a plethora of examples in medical research and in diagnosis and treatment decisions are presented. Medical Persuasion: Understanding the Impact on Medical Argumentation is a unique contribution to the clinical literature and will be of immense interest to medical practitioners, researchers, and philosophers as a way of gaining insights into constructing arguments for their peers and patients. In addition, medical trainees will gain important insights in the production of medical knowledge and medical practices, and even students in the social sciences and humanities will find the work valuable as a conduit to gaining insight into the reception of an argument.
Book Synopsis Holistic Health and Biomedical Medicine by : Stephen Lyng
Download or read book Holistic Health and Biomedical Medicine written by Stephen Lyng and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1990-08-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holistic Health and Biomedical Medicine outlines a new framework for social science research. Illustrated in an analysis of the American health care system, Lyng presents an empirical study of the relationship between medical knowledge and the social structure of medical practice in America. Through a synthesis of ideas from such diverse perspectives as classical Marxian theory and the medical model embraced by the holistic health movement, Lyng articulates a "medical countersystem" that is contrasted against the traditional biomedical model of medical practice. What results is an entirely unique Marxian analysis of the U.S. health care system, one that examines how the system evolved historically as well as describes several possibilities for the future of medicine in America.
Book Synopsis Philosophical Foundations of Medical Law by : Andelka M. Phillips
Download or read book Philosophical Foundations of Medical Law written by Andelka M. Phillips and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With advances in personalised medicine, the field of medical law is being challenged and transformed. The nature of the doctor-patient relationship is shifting as patients simultaneously become consumers. The regulation of emerging technologies is being thrown into question, and we face new challenges in the context of global pandemics. This volume identifies significant questions and issues underlying the philosophy of medical law. It brings together leading philosophers, legal theorists, and medical specialists to discuss these questions in two parts. The first part deals with key foundational theories, and the second addresses a variety of topical issues, including euthanasia, abortion, and medical privacy. The wide range of perspectives and topics on offer provide a vital introduction to the philosophical underpinnings of medical law.

Book Synopsis The Medical Renaissance of the Sixteenth Century by : A. Wear
Download or read book The Medical Renaissance of the Sixteenth Century written by A. Wear and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1985-03-07 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the relationship of medicine to those intellectual and social changes which historians call the Renaissance. The contributors describe how the whole range of medicine, from practical therapeutics to surgery, anatomy and pharmacy, was developing. Some important questions about the nature of medicine as it was taught and practised are raised. These include the continuing vigour of Arabic and scholastic medicine, how this was reconciled with the renaissance love of all things Greek and the nature of medicine in different parts of Europe. The chapters are written by acknowledged experts in their subjects and are based on contributions read at a meeting called for the purpose in Cambridge and supported by the Wellcome Trust.
Book Synopsis Islam, Science, and the Challenge of History by : Ahmad Dallal
Download or read book Islam, Science, and the Challenge of History written by Ahmad Dallal and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-18 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this wide-ranging and masterly work, Ahmad Dallal examines the significance of scientific knowledge and situates the culture of science in relation to other cultural forces in Muslim societies. He traces the ways the realms of scientific knowledge and religious authority were delineated historically. For example, the emergence of new mathematical methods revealed that many mosques built in the early period of Islamic expansion were misaligned relative to the Ka'ba in Mecca; this misalignment was critical because Muslims must face Mecca during their five daily prayers. The realization of a discrepancy between tradition and science often led to demolition and rebuilding and, most important, to questioning whether scientific knowledge should take precedence over religious authority in a matter where their realms clearly overlapped"--Page 2 of cover.
Book Synopsis Use and Impact of Computers in Clinical Medicine by : James G. Anderson
Download or read book Use and Impact of Computers in Clinical Medicine written by James G. Anderson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer technology has impacted the practice of medicine in dramatic ways. Imaging techniques provide noninvasive tools which alter the diag nostic process. Sophisticated monitoring equipment presents new levels of detail for both patient management and research. In most of these high technology applications, the computer is embedded in the device; its presence is transparent to the user. There is also a growing number of applications in which the health care provider directly interacts with a computer. In many cases, these applica tions are limited to administrative functions, e.g., office practice manage ment, location of hospital patients, appointments, and scheduling. Nev ertheless, there also are instances of patient care functions such as results reporting, decision support, surveillance, and reminders. This series, Computers and Medicine, focuses upon the direct use of information systems as it relates to the medical community. After twenty five years of experimentation and experience, there are many tested ap plications which can be implemented economically using the current gen eration of computers. Moreover, the falling cost of computers suggests that there will be even more extensive use in the near future. Yet there is a gap between current practice and the state-of-the-art.
