What They Didnt Teach You at Medical School

What They Didnt Teach You at Medical School Springer | English | June 6, 2007 | ISBN: 1846284619 | 108 pages | PDF | 2.31 MB

During medical training there are certain parts of day-to-day tasks that are not taught at medical school nor in the traditional reference books. There are some skills that medical students are expected to learn by ‘osmosis’ while on placement and under the guidance of junior doctors. These skills are never officially taught or examined in medical school. They are, however, a fundamental part of being a safe, good and efficient doctor. This book includes ‘golden rules’ or important points to remember and case examples, both of which are given as displayed extracts.

In practice of Ayurveda, herbo-mineral/metallic formulations (Bhasma of metals and minerals) are used since 7th centuries. It
was supposed that these medicines have superior level of efficacy in comparison to other Ayurvedic dosage forms. Several studies
claimed that Bhasmas are biologically produced nanoparticles.

Normal Fetal Movements

Alessandra Piontelli, “Development of Normal Fetal Movements: The First 25 Weeks of Gestation” Publisher: Springer | 2010 | ISBN 8847014018 | PDF | 250 pages | 18.8 MB

This work aims to provide a detailed reasoned map of fetal behavior by describing its features and evolution from 10 to 25 weeks gestation. Each behavioral event is described, measured in seconds and presented as it occurs in its natural sequence, thus providing a ‘real-time’ picture of fetal behavior. Links between events become clear, and events are connected to the changing anatomy and physiology of the nervous system and of the fetal body in general. Transient behaviour with its underlying structures and possible functions is carefully distinguished from anticipatory functions heralding post-natal life. Furthermore, phenomena of physiologic significance during prenatal life, but which can acquire pathological connotations for the premature infant having to meet the different requirements of the post-natal environment, are also outlined. Finally, various prenatal ‘myths’ are discussed, in order to give scientific information on issues that are particularly relevant, given the heated pro-life versus pro-choice debate.

Heart is Brain?

IS IT HRUDAYA (HEART) REFERS TO MASTHISHKA (BRAIN)?

(The organ Hrudaya is refers to organ Mastishka)

• by Dr Giridhar Kanthi Prof and Head
• and Dr Remitha K K. 2nd year P G anatomy

When we generally speaks and asked the question “what is hrudaya” every one keep their hands on the left part of the chest, perhaps even a child would reply as “it is the organ, which located in the thorax region. It continuous receives and gives the blood to the whole parts of the body”. It collects the deoxygenated blood from all over the body and after oxygenation that circulates to the whole body. There are no specific references regarding the swaroopa (anatomical features) and function of the same in Ayurvedic Samhitas.

Most of the time the mind related functions, like happiness (Sukha), sarrowness (Dukha), behaviors, activities, attitude and relations with others etc gunas, are almost related with hrudaya also. So we are speaking his/her hruday is so nice and good. Always he/she has sympathy to others. Most of the time, these questions might arises in our mind, as whether we should have considered only that one organ as hrudaya? The answer is no.   download full paper “hridaya”

Gold in semen boosts fertility levels

“The presence of gold in the body is thought to be a contaminant from environmental elements like sea water. The total human body content of gold is calculated to be 0.1 mg. Gold has been claimed in Ayurvedic texts to have beneficial effect on testicular function and sperm,” Dr Rai said.

The quantity of gold in semen decides the levels of fertility in men with the average healthy level being 0.88 micrograms per ml of seminal fluid. Those with a gold content below 0.10 micrograms per ml fail to produce children.

Though ancient Ayurveda texts link gold with male fertility, it is for the first time that the exact content of gold in semen is studied to determine the fertility levels in men. Doctors from the CSM Medical University in Lucknow have found that semen samples of healthy and fertile men contained gold ranging from 0.36 to 1.98 micrograms per ml with a mean value of 0.88 micrograms per ml.

The doctors used atomic absorption spectrophotometry to determine the content of gold in sperm. The body contains a number of minerals and trace elements including gold. Trace metals in the body are linked to environment pollution, but Ayurveda doctors believe that entry of gold through food or soil contamination is actually good for male fertility. The higher the gold content the higher the fertility levels.

“Whatever amount of gold is detected denotes the levels in seminal plasma as well as the sperm itself,” said Dr Anurag Rai, one of the researchers. The presence of gold in sperm supports the ancient Ayurvedic texts which link male fertility with gold, though a thorough scientific analysis is yet to be made. Gold was found in all the semen samples collected for the study. [source]

Ayurveda doctor to dissect his father’s body in India

A doctor in India is steadying his nerves to dissect his father’s embalmed body to help anatomy students’ research at a medical college.

• The operation in the southern state of Karnataka is said to be the first such case in India.
• Dr Mahantesh Ramannavar told the BBC that the task was challenging but he had no choice.
• His father, who fought against British colonial rule, was a renowned ayurvedic (traditional medicine) doctor.
• He died two years ago, aged 89, and stipulated in his will that his corpse should be cut open by his doctor son for medical research.

Better science

Dr Mahantesh, 40, will fulfil his father’s wishes at the Kankanwadi Ayurved medical college in Belgaum, 550km (342 miles) north of Bangalore, on the second anniversary of his death on 13 November.

” Before his death, [my father] had mentally prepared me to take up the dissection of his body”

• He said that he was inspired by the English physician William Harvey, famed for his research into the human circulatory system.
• Mr Harvey is credited with dissecting the body of his sister in his pursuit of better medical science.
• “I hope my gesture will help others to donate bodies. This is a message I want to convey to the world,” Dr Mahantesh told the BBC.
• There is a growing demand for cadavers for medical research and training across the globe.
• In front of his father’s body, he has been briefing students without much fuss.
• “Whatever emotions I have, I control them,” he said.
• His said that his decision had not upset his mother and family members.
• “There is no opposition from my family. They are supporting me. This is because this is what he willed,” he said.
• Dr Mahantesh said the demand for cadavers was up but donors were hard to come by.
• India passed the Human Organ Transplant Act in 1994, making it possible to receive transplants from brain dead donors, but for a country with a population of more than one billion people, it lags behind in the implementation of a cadaveric donation programme.
• Officials say there is need for greater public awareness to enable people to donate bodies.
• Dr Mahantesh said that his father had always spoken in support of cadaver donations.
• “Before his death, he had mentally prepared me to take up the dissection of his body,” he said.
• The family has set up a trust in his name for cadaver donations.
• “All my family members have written wills to donate their bodies,” he said. [source]
