Materialities of Disease Across the Medieval World
This interdisciplinary volume offers new ways to think about how disease and death, and healing and health, were considered, experienced, displayed, and portrayed across the global medieval world. Reaching across conventional disciplinary, historiographical, and geographical boundaries, Materialities of Disease investigates a broad selection of visual and material artefacts emerging from across the globe--from Western Europe, Western Africa, and Anatolia, to Japan, India, China, and New Spain. This volume focuses on non-textual narratives about disease that can be read in historical images, objects, human remains, archaeological remains, architectural spaces, materia medica, and other surviving artefacts. Taken together, these contributions, which are diverse and interdisciplinary, highlight and nuance some of the recent critical advances in scholarship being made in and for medical history across many fields

Coagulation Disorders - Innovative Developments in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches
Coagulation is a crucial and essential defense mechanism that is typically well-balanced and effective under normal circumstances. However, since Virchow's Triad was published in the mid-19th century, its elements have inspired an overwhelming amount of innovative and cutting-edge research, much of which was initiated at the bedside and later unraveled in the laboratory. These approaches have been multidisciplinary, driven by out-of-the-box thinking, keen observation, and problem-solving. The book explores the latest advancements in various coagulation disorders, examining their metabolic and biochemical root causes, both inherited and acquired. It aims to highlight the benefits of new and innovative developments, presenting a high-quality collection of thematic chapters. This work results from multidisciplinary and coordinated scientific efforts, offering the latest updates in the field. Therefore, this book provides a unique opportunity to stay updated on current and emerging diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to coagulation disorders and abnormalities. It explores overshoots and deficiencies, both inherited and acquired while embracing out-of-the-box thinking and exploring the unknown.
Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease
Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease: Biological and Technological Advances aims to introduce to a wide audience the high global priority problem of detecting AD prior to dementia onset. According to the Alzheimer's Association, 5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's and care costs will cost the nation approximately $290 billion (2019 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures). With the failure of recent AD drug trials, many hypothesize that by the time symptoms appear, it is too late to be treated. Early detection can offer benefits such as more choice of medications, ability to participate in clinical trials, more time for family and for care planning. This book outlines potential solutions to the above problem using opportunities arising from the technology revolution, advances in neuroscience, and molecular biology. Most importantly, it discusses a paradigm shift from a reactive to a proactive diagnostic approach, aiming to detect disease before occurrence of symptoms. Topics covered include the use of sensing technologies (e.g. smartphones, smartwatches, Internet of Things) to detect early disease-related changes, the application of data science (machine learning/AI) to extract otherwise invisible disease features from these datasets and the potential to personalize diagnosis based on tracking changes in individual behaviours. Advances in blood-based biomarkers, brain imaging, and the potential for early diagnosis to aid interventions (lifestyle, dietary, pharmacological) to delay future development of dementia are also discussed.

To Do the Sick No Harm
What part did the British voluntary hospital system play in the health of the community in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries? Did hospitals kill or cure? Originally published in 1974, this study investigates these questions through a pioneering examination of the extant hospital records, ranging from admissions registers to annual reports, and by an analysis of the contemporary literature. It relates the hospital system to the changing economic and social environment and is primarily concerned with the patients themselves and their experiences. The lack of medical treatment for the bulk of the population is emphasised, and the influence of the reformers on the foundation of the first voluntary hospitals in the beginning of the 18th century is assessed. Staffing and administrative procedures are studied as a prelude to examining the patients - their social background and physical and surgical complaints. Important aspects of the hospitals' work and their influence on the rate of mortality are explored. They are admissions policy regarding fever cases; the nature and number of surgical cases and the incidence of sepsis. The effect of growing urbanization and industrialization on the success of the voluntary hospitals in the 19th century is also examined.
