The Epilogue traces a shift in attitude towards anatomical modelling. In the mid-eighteenth century anatomical models had been praised for their capacity to defy time in the sense that they both resisted the body’s physical decay and promised to provide lasting and timeless sources of corporeal knowledge. However, by the end of the century changing attitudes towards notions of authenticity and techniques of production caused some to doubt earlier anatomical models’ capacity to produce and mediate knowledge about the body. Anatomical modelling continued to be regarded as a useful and promising medical technique. Yet, by the end of the eighteenth century the very models that only a few decades earlier had fuelled much interest among both practitioners and lay audiences, had already started to slip into obsolescence.

Electropathy/Electrohomoeopathy is a comparatively modern medical technique that falls under the genre of complementary and alternative medicine. This medical technique was discovered in Italy in 1865 by Count Ceaser Mattei. Its drugs are composed entirely of herbal/medicinal plants and are manufactured with purified water and a sophisticated process of extracting spagiric essence from medicinal plants at room temperature. Uterine fibroids are noncancerous uterine growths that commonly arise during childbearing year. Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs) or myomas, aren't linked to an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never turn cancerous. Fibroids range in size from microscopic seedlings that are undetectable to large masses that deform and expand the uterus. A single fibroid or a group of them can be present. Multiple fibroids can cause the uterus to enlarge to the point where it reaches the rib cage, causing weight gain. Uterine fibroids affect many women at some point in their life. However, because uterine fibroids rarely cause symptoms, people may be unaware that they have them. During a pelvic exam or a pregnancy ultrasound, fibroids may be encounter by chance. By the time they reach at the age 50, 20% to 80% of women experience fibroids. Women in their age forties and early fifties are the most susceptible to develop get fibroids. In this article we are going to discussed effectiveness of Electrohomoeopathy medicine on Uterine fibroids. How a new medical science which is totally plants-based source cost effective and accelerating its mechanism of action due to specialization of its unique fundamental principal and philosophy and satisfaction of patient due to the extraordinary result of Electrohomoeopathy medicine.

Wet-cupping is an ancient medical technique still used in several contemporary societies, but little empirical study has been devoted to test its efficacy to treat tension and migraine headache. Using a pre-post research design, 70 patients with chronic tension or migraine headache were treated with wet-cupping. Three primary outcome measures were considered at the baseline and 3 months following treatment: headache severity, days of headache per month, and use of medication. Results suggest that, compared to the baseline, mean headache severity decreased by 66% following wet-cupping treatment. Treated patients also experienced the equivalent of 12.6 fewer days of headache per month. We conclude that wet-cupping leads to clinical relevant benefits for primary care patients with headache. Possible mechanisms of wet-cupping's efficacy, as well as directions for future research are discussed.

Des machines médicales tiennent en vie des sujets en soins intensifs, en hémodialyse. Le soin somatique est à la fois médical, technique, machinique/machinisé et robotique/robotisé. Ces machines de vie et de mort sont vécues comme des corps étranges et étrangers, par le sujet lui-même, par son entourage, notamment familial. Avec le cas d’une femme hémodialysée qui a perdu un fils en soins intensifs, nous illustrerons comment une famille tout entière peut se trouver dans l’engrenage de soins machinisés, machiniques, et le rester in(dé)finiment.
