Stressing major themes in the history of medicine, this Second Edition stimulates further exploration of the events, methodologies, and theories that shaped medical practices in decades past and in modern clinical practice—highlighting the practices of civilizations around the world, as well as the research of pioneering scientists and physicians who contributed to our current understanding of health and disease.

Invaluable to instructors promoting the history of medicine in pre-professional training and to those seeking a solid grounding in the medical history of Western and non-Western cultures.

Designed for survey courses in the history of medicine, this Second Edition presents a wide-ranging overview of Western medicine, as well as an introduction to the varied medical traditions of India and China...provides additional chapters on the history of medicine in Pre-Columbian America and the evolution of medicine in the United States...contains new sections on preventive and alternative medicine, medical education for women, miasma and contagion theories, the threat of epidemic disease, changing patterns of morbidity and mortality, public health and sanitary reforms, the high cost of medical care, diseases of affluence and aging, and the emergence of new diseases...and explores the concepts, theories, and diseases that illuminate medical history from paleopathology to prions.

Anotacija:

     When After Virtue first appeared in 1981 it was recognised at once as an important and controversial re-evaluation of contemporary moral philosophy. It is now reprinted with a new final chapter in which Professor MacIntyre responds to the central questions raised by the first edition, elaborating his position on the connection between philosophy and history, the issue of relativism, and the relation of moral philosophy to theology. In doing so, he upholds the claims of his main conclusions and demonstrates further the accountability of philosophy to the world and times it seeks to describe.

Anotacija:

     In this lively and approachable discussion, Mary Midgley turns a spotlight on the fashionable view that we no longer need or use moral judgements. Guiding the reader through the diverse approaches to this complex subject, she points out the strong, confident beliefs about such things as the value of freedom that underlie our supposed scepticism about values. She shows how the question of whether or not we can make moral judgements must inevitably affect our attitudes not only to the law and its institutions, but also to events that occur in our daily lives, and suggests that mistrust of moral judgement may be making life even harder for us than it would be otherwise.

Anotacija:

     Extreme Prematurity: Practices, Bioethics, and the Law examines the controversial issues surrounding the clinical management of this group of neonates through the intervention of modern neonatal intensive care. The forgoing of life-sustaining treatment is of par­ticular importance. The subject matter is very relevant because of the alarming increase in multiple and preterm births, caused by the increase in women undergoing assisted reproductive procedures, and the large increase in premature labor. No recent book covers the subject in such comparable breadth.

     The first section of this very timely monograph covers the epi­demiology and practices in different parts of the world; the second section covers bioethics considerations, including ethical theories, moral principles, and quality-of-life issues; the third section covers national and international guidelines; and the last section covers medical law aspects in the United States and around the world.

Anotacija:

     The debate over stem cell research is complex and complicated by di­vergent religious views and by electoral politics. Our purpose in this vol­ume is to present the major issues dispassionately, as a careful scientist presents them, raising the complexities and controversies but doing so in a manner that is accessible to the general public, since ultimately stem cell research will be critically influenced, if not decided, by public policies.

The issues raised here thus are important and of concern not just to scientists and potential patients but also to the public. Does stem cell re­search destroy human life? If so, is embryonic stem cell research justified for broader humanitarian reasons? How will public decisions be made, and what role will faith and science play in the decision making? Is there sufficient scientific evidence of clinical benefit (or lack thereof) to justify political or policy decisions that promote or limit stem cell research? Do we not need more basic and applied research before such decisions are made? How will scientific research respond to the extant political reali­ties and restrictions on embryonic stem cell research?...

Anotacija:

     The idea of human dignity is central to any reflection on the nature of human worth, and has become a key concept in international and national law, in medical ethics, and in much philosophical and political theory. However, the idea is a complex one that also takes on many different forms. This collection explores the idea of human dignity as it arises within these many different domains, opening up the possibility of a multidisciplinary conversation that illuminates the concept itself, as well as the idea of the human to which it stands in an essential relation. The book is not only an intriguing and stimulating exploration of human dignity from a range of perspectives, but also provides an important resource for those who wish to take the exploration further.

Anotacija:

     In this superb book, Paul Menzel addresses the refractory problem of allocating limited health care resources. His central argument is that consent, or in its absence presumed consent, provides the justification for rationing health care. After establishing the conceptual basis for his theory, he tracks the implications of the theory for a wide range of problems including the pricing of life, malpractice, improving organ supply, treatment of imperiled newborns, persuading smokers to abstain and the duty to die cheaply. The writing is clear and accessible to the non-philosopher. For those entering this field, Menzel provides a framework for addressing a variety of questions in the allocation of health care. For the advanced scholar, he offers a coherent theory, with a candid presentation of its implications, which is certain to stimulate a host of critiques and refinements.

     "This is a wonderful book. Like William May's other writings, it is clear, imaginative, incisive, and powerful. It illuminates the ethics of the patient and the patient's family, not simply the ethics of the professional. Rarely has anyone in biomedical ethics focused on the patient's ordeal, and no one has ever done it better than May does in this splendid and important book." - James F. Childress Kyle Professor of Religious Studies and Professor of Medical Education, University of Virginia.

     There has been a growing recognition of the importance of mathematical and statistical methods in the history of medicine, particularly in those areas where statistical methods are a sine qua non such as epidemiology and randomised clinical trials. Despite this expanding scholarly interest, the development of the mathematical and statistical technologies in the biological sciences has not been examined systematically. This collection of essays aims to provide a broader overview of this field, and to explore the use of these with the use of these quantitative technologies in medical and clinical cultures from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries.
     The Wellcome Series in the History of Medicine provides a regular and active forum for the publication of research into the history of medicine and health care in all their branches in various cultures and all time periods.

XIX a. pabaigoje – XX a. pradžioje be universalaus pobūdžio pradėjo kurtis naujos draugijos, jungusios kolegas siauresniu profesiniu ar nacionaliniu principu. Reikšmingiausia tarp jų, be abejo, Vilniaus medicinos draugija. Ji buvo įkurta 1805m. ir su trumpa pertrauka veikė iki 1939m., o redukuotu pavidalu tebeegzistuoja ir šiandien.

Anotacija:

     "What is justice?" asked Socrates in the Republic. The nature of justice, and how we are to judge it, have been fundamental issues in moral philosophy ever since. Aristotle and Augustine, Aquinas and Hume all had very different ideas of justice, and even in our own day we are plagued by the concept and its applications.
     It is a central thesis of this book that conceptions of justice and practical reason emerge from particular types of social order particular communities and are developed as rational conceptions by particular socially embodied traditions. Not
only that. The rational evaluation of such conceptions can only be carried through from the standpoint of some particular tradition.
     How then can we judge between competing claims? In this important sequel to After Virtue, Alasdair MacIntyre shows how for each of us only the history of our own and of rival traditions can justify our moral choices.
     Alasdair MacIntyre, formerly Fellow of University College, Oxford, is W. Alton Jones Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University, Tennessee.
