Book excerpt: Armed with razor-sharp teeth and capable of drinking many times its volume of blood, the leech is an unlikely cure for ill health. Yet that is exactly the role this worm-like parasite has played in both Western and Eastern medicine throughout history. In this book, Robert G. W. Kirk and Neil Pemberton explore how the leech surfaces in radically different spheres. The ancients used them in humeral medicine to bring the four humors of the body—blood, phlegm, and black and yellow bile—back into balance. Today, leeches are used in plastic and reconstructive surgery to help reattach severed limbs and remove pools of blood before it kills tissue. Leeches have also been used in a nineteenth-century meteorological barometer and a twentieth-century biomedical tool that helped win a Nobel Prize. Kirk and Pemberton also reveal the dark side of leeches as they are portrayed in fiction, film, and popular culture. From Bram Stoker’s Dracula to a video game player’s nemesis, the leech is used to represent the fears of science run amok. Leech shines new light on one of humanity’s most enduring and unlikely companions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, practicing clinical medicine, we continue to describe and share nature's wonderful creation - medicinal leeches (Hirudo medicinalis). And at first we are always met with shock, doubt and distrust regardless of the patient's age, intellect and profession. It is understandable, however, that both the patient and the specialist educated within the modern medical establishments find it hard to believe that some 'worms' can have significant benefit on treatment of diseases. Medicinal leeches are not an advancement in genetic engineering and nanotechnology, or some new achievement in engineering and artificial intelligence; they are not mentioned in fancy advertisements of transnational pharmaceutical companies.It is hard to believe that some annelid worms (Annelides) can help us treat severe traumas, acute otitis, artritis or panaritium, help you forget about dreadful hemorrhoids, restore the lightness in your heavy legs, and, perhaps, even help save you from the fate of a lifelong disability...This book is the further development of our project and plan to distribute our professional knowledge of Hirudotherapy (Medicinal Leech Therapy) among the Medical community and the different World nations.

Book excerpt: In the 19th century, the medicinal applications of leeches prompted basic research into their neurobiology, reproduction, development, and anatomy; subsequently, leeches became an important model for understanding the nervous system. In this monograph, each chapter provides a narrative account of experimental work on a particular area of leech neurobiology, and explains its significance for the broader field of neuroscience. The appendices describe methods for maintaining and manipulating leeches in the laboratory and include an atlas of neurons in the leech Hirudo medicinalis.
