Comprehensive Study of Digestive Problems in Patients
The digestive system and the central nervous system are connected by various nerve fibers or neurons. The connection between the digestive system and the human brain is a two-way process. Improper functioning of the digestive system can lead to sending incorrect messages to the brain. Also, dysfunction in the brain can lead to digestive problems. The digestive system contains many nerve neurons, so the digestive system is highly susceptible to stress. As you have probably experienced, the effect of anxiety on your digestive system is no less than that of unhealthy nutrition, which is why the gut is also called the second brain.
Interpretation of Results of Routine and Special Coagulation Tests
Knowledge of the laboratory tests which most effectively work-up a patient presenting with bleeding or clotting manifestations is crucial to develop a sound and timely action plan for the benefit of the patient. It is important for medical professionals to know which tests best evaluate the causes of hemostasis disorders and what common clinical scenarios can significantly interfere with accurate test results, such as the impact of anticoagulant agents on routine and special coagulation assay results. Interpretation of Results of Routine and Special Coagulation Tests: A Practical Guide is a concise, comprehensive, and accessible reference text for any medical professional who must order, understand, or interpret tests of the hemostasis system. For each test, this book provides the causes of abnormal results, including what can lead to false-positive and false-negative results. When possible, information is provided in table form for quick reference, such as the impact of commonly used anticoagulants on the results of hemostasis tests. This practical guide also includes tests that evaluate global hemostasis and clot lysis by viscoelastometry, as well as a discussion of laboratory monitoring of anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, antifibrinolytics, and thrombolytics.

Addiction, Inc.
How the war on drugs created the gold standard treatment for addiction--until America's opioid crisis got privatized for profit, to the detriment of patients. Despite epidemic levels of overdoses in the United States, by 2020, only twenty percent of Americans suffering from opioid use disorder (OUD) received medication-assisted treatment (MAT), the gold standard of addiction treatment, which uses methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone to reduce illicit drug use and curb the symptoms of withdrawal. While MAT is the most effective treatment available for OUD, it's also the most controversial, the most expensive, and the most difficult to access. And yet, the medications at the center of this treatment--and the private industries that distribute them--generate roughly sixteen billion dollars each year, on par with national sales of coffee and pet food. In Addiction, Inc., historian Emily Dufton explains how this promising avenue of treatment emerged during President Richard Nixon's war on drugs in 1971 as a radical experiment in public health, when hundreds of federally-funded treatment clinics opened nationwide. Dufton then explores how these nationalized clinics gave way to an immensely profitable private industry that offers poor care at high costs to an insufficient number of people. Drawing on original research and over a hundred interviews with policymakers, medical experts, pharmaceutical lobbyists, and patients and their families, she tells a gripping story of squandered potential and missed opportunities, as MAT transformed from a revolutionary political project launched from the White House itself into a commercial success--and a public health disaster. Urgent, eye-opening, and deeply human, Addiction, Inc. reveals how, over the past fifty years, the United States built an addiction treatment system that made recovery harder instead of easier, and what it will take to change its course.
Beyond the Retina
Corneal ectasia is a group of progressive disorders characterized by thinning and protrusion of the cornea, which includes conditions such as keratoconus, keratoglobus, and pellucid marginal degeneration. Bardet-Biedl syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, is primarily recognized for its hallmark features, including retinal degeneration leading to progressive vision loss, obesity, polydactyly, and various systemic abnormalities. While ocular manifestations are well-documented in Bardet-Biedl syndrome, the association with corneal ectasia, particularly keratoconus, is exceptionally rare. The first documented case of keratoconus in a patient with Bardet-Biedl syndrome was reported by Fran癟ois et al. in 1982. This book highlights the second known case of Bardet-Biedl syndrome associated with keratoconus, shedding new light on the potential systemic involvement of corneal ectasia in this syndrome. In addition, this book explores the latest evidence-based therapies for managing ocular abnormalities in Bardet-Biedl syndrome patients, including advancements in retinitis pigmentosa treatment.

The text meticulously compiles information on its taxonomy, morphology, distribution, phytochemistry, microscopy, and medicinal potential, grounded in both traditional knowledge and modern scientific research.
The Secularization of Medicine
Why do doctors take the Hippocratic Oath? Is this like reciting a religious creed? Is the White Coat Ceremony a kind of medical ordination? These medical rituals do seem to offer grounding for moral life in the profession. People from all over the globe make pilgrimages to places like the Mayo Clinic and the Texas Medical Center in search of salvation--not of their souls, but of their bodies. Are cardiologists, oncologists, and other specialists the secular high priests of our time? Patients do sacrifice large sums of cash in exchange for hope. While it is true that medicine and religion once had overt connections that have since declined, The Secularization of Medicine argues that religion as a social force in medicine has not been extinguished. Instead, religious material or ideas have migrated to non-religious or secular spaces and have been absorbed by the surrounding culture. This is a process of transposition, seen most clearly in the religious names of many hospitals and medical research institutions, continuing the tradition of Christian missions that care for the sick and see education as part of their religious duties. In this book, Nathan Carlin identifies three new types of transposition--instrumental transpositions, idealized transpositions, and imaginative transpositions--and explores them in various domains of medicine that resemble or recall religious belief or practice. He discovers that medicine is not as secular as we might imagine it to be, and this has implications for the well-being of physicians.

Isaac Israeli's the Definition of Fever and Its Essence in Its Hebrew Translations
Isaac Israeli (ca. 855-932 CE, Kairouan) was part of the first generation of authors who began to build a legacy of medical and philosophical knowledge based on Arabic translations of Greek writings and on their own experience. Isaac Israeli wrote at least three medical monographs, among them the Book on Fevers, which is composed of five treatises. The first of these, entitled Book on the Definition of Fever and Its Essence, is the subject of this work. In his book, Isaac Israeli writes about fever more from a philosophical than a medical point of view and this is what makes the Book on the Definition of Fever and Its Essence such an exceptional work. The success of Isaac Israeli's medical book is a notable example of the transfer of science from the East to the West. Translations of Isaac Israeli's medical books became compulsory reading in most European universities during the Middle Ages. Moreover, this transmission phenomenon increased when Jewish communities in Europe became aware of and interested in this literature and translated it into Hebrew, as well as when the vernacular languages started to play a role in medical literature. This particular text was translated into Latin, into Hebrew twice, as well as into Old Spanish. Isaac Israeli is a key figure who deeply impacted medieval medicine through the birth of a rich corpus of philosophy and, especially, of medicine, who explored the interaction between philosophy and medicine, translated this Greek-Arabic medicine from Arabic into Latin and other languages, and influenced the rise of Jewish authors, whose use of language was conditioned by the Islamic or European Christian environment
"Tabula Antidotarii" of Armengaud Blaise and Its Hebrew Translation
Armengaud Blaise or Blaise (d. 1312), a nephew of the celebrated medieval medical & theological figure Arnau de Vilanova (d.1311), is becoming better known, thanks in large part to the documentation preserved in the Archivo de la Corona de Aragon. Armengaud became a practicing physician and went to Barcelona at the end of 1303 to serve the king & queen, & later became physician to Pope Clement V at Avignon. He helped turn Latin into at least five works from the earlier tradition of Greco-Arabic scientific learning & also wrote at least two original medical compositions. The second of these, called the "Tabula Antidotarii," is a summary list of a number of common compound medicines together with their properties, arranged in tabular form. This book provides a study of Armengaud & the Latin "Tabula Antidotarii"; Estori ha-Parhi & the Hebrew translation of the "Tabula"; & The Latin & Hebrew texts. It also includes the English, Latin & Hebrew texts of the "Tabula"; facsimile pages; the translator's intro.; Table 1: The sequence of drugs in the manuscripts; Documentation in the Crown of Aragon concerning Armengaud Blaise; Bibliography; Index of Proper Names; Hebrew-Latin Index; & Latin-Hebrew Index.
Transmitting a Text Through Three Languages
In the 12th and 13th cent., Western Europe became possessed of Latin versions of most of the works of Greco-Arabic science & philosophy. These included works originally written in Greek & subsequently translated into Arabic, as well as works in Arabic by Christian, Muslin, and Jewish scholars. The new material helped create the new univ. of the 13th cent. and transformed the foundations of medieval thought. This study focuses on a short text by Galen, Peri anomalou dyskrasis, whose Greek text has recently been edited. Contents: (1) The Arabic translation from Greek by Hunayn ibn Ishaq (d. 873); The Latin Translation from Arabic by Gerard of Cremona (d. 1187); The Hebrew Translation from Latin by David b. Abraham Caslari (d. c. 1315); (2) The Texts: The Arabic Text; The Arabic-English Translation; The Latin Text; The Hebrew Text; (3) Glossaries: Arabic-Latin-Hebrew; Latin; Hebrew.

Physiologia of Jean Fernel (1567)
Jean Fernel (1497-1558) was one of the foremost medical writers of his day, ranked by his contemporaries alongside Andreas Vesalius, reformer of anatomical studies, and Paracelsus, radical reformer of theories of disease and treatment. He is arguably the leading expositor of the Galenic system of medicine. He exemplifies in his Physiologia the method and approach of a typical Aristotelian philosopher in the period immediately before the downfall of Renaissance Scholasticism. John Forrester offers the Physiologia here in its entirety and provides, for the first time, a complete English translation of the work.

Immediate changes in the body through manual therapy?
This study investigates whether a very short therapeutic treatment involving two pulses to the second cervical vertebra has an effect on blood composition or the blood buffer system. To this end, 21 test subjects were examined in an RCT study before and after receiving either the active treatment or a placebo, using blood gas analysis. The blood gas analyses were read using the Epoc system and evaluated in correlation analyses with pH. The evaluation method takes into account individual buffer capacities and stress levels. This provides a new understanding of 'stress' and clarifies how it affects blood gases and buffer systems in the body. So can such a short treatment really lead to a direct change in the body that can be measured in the blood? And what does this mean? Is it possible to demonstrate physical relief?

From Elements to Atoms
Seeking to enlarge an understanding of the nature of chemical science & explain how the concepts being taught in the classroom came to be, Siegfried presents a simple, readable account of how in the 18th cent. chemical composition slowly abandoned the centuries- long tradition of metaphysical elements of earth, air, fire, & water. Through the work of such scientist as Lavoisier, Dalton, & Davy, chemical theory moved from metaphysical elements to operationally functional atoms.
