Introduction: A quintessential element of Hippocratic medicine is treatment of mental diseases which was based on a detailed examination of the symptoms as well as the study of human physiology and final outcome of the diseases which is based on humoral theory.
Purpose: The aim of the work is to highlight the contribution of Hippocrates to the study of mental illness based on his theory of humors
Methodology: Our study consists of interpretations of the original text of Hippocrates including extensive observations of anatomy and physiology of human body based on humoral theory. Then the information was evaluated on the basis of modern literature in order to establish their validity. A major limitation of the research is the lack of a systemic methodology to screen the Hippocratic corpus for relevant passages which actually requires interdisciplinary research in order to determine which aspects of Hippocratic medicine can be developed.
Results: In Corpus Hippocraticum, it is highlighting that maintaining a relative proportion of humors in human body (apart from maintaining health) regulates the human temperament and its behavioral manifestations. Hippocrates, has included in his work observations not only on human physiology and diseases but also studies the environmental and geographical impact on them, thus setting the stage for holistic approaches
Conclusion: Summarizing, Hippocratic medicine and particularly his observations on mental disorders provides a clear picture of the methodology used by Hippocrates which can be a guide for the adoption of good practices for contemporary scholars and clinicians on their everyday practice
This chapter provides a brief introduction to the various fundamentals and concepts related to the basics of the biomedical image processing. Medical imaging processing comprises various techniques and processes that are used to create images of human body for clinical purposes and medical procedures for the purpose of diagnosis or examination of disease. Digital image processing along with its suitable components and computer-simulated algorithms are implemented using computers to perform the image analysis of digital images. The study of normal anatomy and physiology of human body is made as a part of diagnosis process. Though medical imaging of various organs and tissues can be performed for medical examination purposes, the impact of digital images on modern society is tremendous and image processing has become a critical component of science and technology related to the biomedical image processing.
Physical culture, which has taken deep roots in our Union in recent years, brings forward the task of scientific substantiation of its methods and bringing knowledge of human anatomy and physiology closer to the general population. This small book, popularly compiled by Prof. N.K. Lysenkov and E.I. Sinelnikov, is intended to fulfill the second task. Written for instructors in physical education, the book contains, in addition to a brief introduction, nine chapters. Some of them, according to the purposes pursued by the authors, are presented quite fully, while others are too concisely.
The analysis on the physiological characteristics of the human body posture was carried out with the ergonomic principles from the perspective of human anatomy and physiology. The requirement for the structure and size of the passenger seat was discussed from the point of passenger comfort. Several design problems were analyzed with some recommendations for improvement.
Pulmonary gas exchange is a complex component of respiratory physiology. For many students, the movement of unseen gases can seem abstract and confusing. The “Gas Exchange Game” is a novel board game designed for use in a second-semester anatomy and physiology course. Students apply textbook knowledge of the laws of gas exchange and use the game board and pieces to see concrete examples of how gases move in the human body.
The anatomist's vade-mecum : containing the anatomy and physiology of the human body.
