Early Beginnings of Anthroposophically Extended Medicine
How can therapists and doctors strive to treat not just illness or disability, but the whole human being? Bertram von Zabern, MD, explores this question as he follows the historical thread of anthroposophically extended medicine in North America and weaves it into a tapestry illuminating the connections between the early pioneers of the field and the modern institutions, such as Weleda USA, which stand upon the foundations they laid.In a humble and conversational manner, von Zabern shares the stories of physicians who, inspired by the impulse given by Rudolf Steiner in his 1920 lecture series Introducing Anthroposophical Medicine, set out to create a regimen of care which recognizes the human being as a spiritual being, while still attending to physical health. Those familiar with anthroposophical medicine will recognize the names of lauded doctors such as Christoph Linder, Franz Winkler, Sigfrid Knauer, and Traute Lafrenz Page. Early Beginnings also traces the trajectory of therapeutic or "curative" education in North America. Beginning with the efforts of Gladys and William Hahn at Lossing Manor in 1938, the author shows how, with the help of Dr. Karl K繹nig and Carlo Pietzner, the therapeutic education movement has blossomed into a nationwide phenomenon which continues to help those with developmental disabilities live in dignity and realize their potential.

Quality of gentamycin injection in Bamako
Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic produced by Micromonospora echinospora. It is a bactericidal inhibitor of protein synthesis. It is generally used as a curative treatment in association with beta-lactam antibiotics. However, to guarantee therapeutic success, it is essential to use quality drugs in today's context of substandard, adulterated and falsified multi-source essential drugs.The overall aim of this study was to assess the quality of injectable gentamicin sold in Bamako's health centers and private pharmacies. 20 samples were analyzed and found to be non-compliant with the required specifications. The causes of non-conformity were either under-dosage of active ingredient, over-dosage of active ingredient and/or out-of-specification average volume or pH.The results clearly raise the question of the systematic registration of drugs before they are placed on the market.

Study of the use of anesthetics
The effort to suppress pain caused by surgical procedures through the use of drugs dates back to antiquity, including the oral administration of ethanol and opiates. The study was carried out in a public hospital in Campina Grande-PB, using a qualitative-quantitative approach. Sixty-five patients were analyzed, aged between 41 and 60 years, hysterectomy was the most common procedure and the majority of patients were not hypertensive. Among the anesthetics studied, heavy bupivacaine had the highest incidence in the study, followed by morphine and midazolam. It was also observed that vomiting and dizziness were the most common ADRs. Cephalothin and dipyrone were the most commonly used concomitant drugs. In the post-surgical period, the most commonly used drugs were metoclopramide, followed by dipyrone and cephalothin. The results of this study serve as a basis for future studies on the choice of appropriate anaesthetic techniques for surgical procedures, with the aim of minimizing the occurrence of adverse effects that could prolong hospitalization.
