Further Development

The Egyptian concept of medicine was complex and related to a widespread religious belief that combined the worship of gods and the medical arts. The healing properties of food, and especially mother’s milk, were well‑known and endowed with divine qualities. Half‑female‑half‑cow Hathor was usually depicted with cow horns and the sun between them. Since medicine and magic were tightly linked, the omens, facts, conscious and unconscious assumptions merged with a mystical mosaic that formed a volatile but honorable system that is currently regarded as a medical art. Supernatural powers were taken into account, and the meaning of art was associated with the powers attributed to the deities. Despite their obvious social and religious‑political experience, the Egyptians had limited knowledge of the internal structure of human body, paying considerable attention to magic, mysticism and afterlife. They deeply believed that most of the diseases originated in the intestines due to their «contaminated» contents. The main problem in understanding diseases and developing their treatment in ancient Egypt was the restrictions associated with the prohibition of body’s desecration. This was based on the assumption that if the shape of the body is not preserved at the time of resurrection, the soul can be lost in void. Thus, the ancient Egyptians were especially concerned with the preservation of body, believing that desecration by animals or worms could also lead to the complete loss of remains for the soul. In the society of Ancient Rome, illuminated only by the flame of fire and the thirst for knowledge, the enjoyment of food and the continuation of the family were of great importance. Unsurprisingly, the ancients respected the sensations of eating. Thus, such exquisite dishes as lark tongue, black caviar, ostrich brain, Falernian wines at the time of Emperor Heliogabalus evoked a unique complex of sensations during eating. Examples of ancient Roman medical tools, including mirrors, found in the house of a surgeon from Pompeii (72 — 62 BC), prove the early tendency to visualize human insides. The qualification of the ancient masters of medical tools is confirmed by the fact that the principles used two thousand years ago have changed slightly. Thus, there were initial concepts of nutrition, digestion, diseases of the digestive tract, and even the rudiments of diagnosing these diseases in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome. They served as the basis for the further development of gastroenterological science.

Motive forces by muscles are applied to different parts of the human body in a periodic fashion when walking at a uniform rate. In this study, the whole human body is modeled as a multidegree of freedom (MDOF) system with seven degrees of freedom. In view of the changing contact conditions with the ground due to alternating feet movements, the system under study is considered piecewise time invariant for each half-period when one foot is in contact with the ground. Forces transmitted from the body to the ground while walking at a normal pace are experimentally measured and numerically simulated. Fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is employed to numerically simulate the forces acting on different masses of the body. An optimization problem is formulated with the squared difference between the measured and simulated forces transmitted to the ground as the objective function, and the motive forces on the body masses as the design variables to solve.

The skin, which is the largest part  of the human body, is the body's first defense against bacterial and virus attacks. When the skin is exposed to the sun, dry weather, or bacteria, the reaction will spread to other parts of the body, and can even result in death if it is too late to be handled especially if the sufferers are children who are very vulnerable to disease. In this study an expert system was implemented to diagnose skin diseases in infants using the certainty factor method. certainty factor method is very suitable for expert systems that diagnose something that is uncertain. This system makes a diagnosis based on the symptoms felt by the user and then calculates certainty factors based on existing symptoms. Based on the test results by making comparisons between manual calculations and the one carried out by the system it is known that 90.22% of the diagnosis results get the same results so that the system is said to be suitable for use.

Colors have a definite effect on the human body and mind. Dyed clothes, the color found in the houses, they leave their impact. Whether the sun rays are taken on the body through glass or by placing a colored glass bottle in the sun for six hours after that water is drunk after two hours, its effect also helps in providing healing according to the color. Researchers say that the effect of colors on specific parts of the brain is special, and then the same kind of inspiration goes on for the whole body. Magnetic powers are modulated and change their effect. The effect of colors has been seen directly on the pituitary and pineal glands of the brain. The hypothalamus region has been shown to be agitated and relaxed on this basis. This is why they are helpful in preventing debility and illness. मनुष्य के शरीर और मन पर रंगों का सुनिश्चित प्रभाव पड़ता है। रंगे कपड़े, पुते मकान में जो रंग मिला होता है, वे अपना प्रभाव छोड़ते हैं। काँच के माध्यम से सूर्य किरणों को शरीर पर लिया जाए या रंगीन काँच की बोतल को धूप में छः घण्टे रखकर उस पानी को दो-दो घण्टे बाद पिया जाए तो उसका प्रभाव भी रंग के अनुसार आरोग्य प्रदान करने में काम आता है। शोधकर्ताओं का कथन है कि रंगों का प्रभाव मस्तिष्क के महत्वपूर्ण भागों पर विषेष रूप से पड़ता है और फिर वहाँ से उसी प्रकार प्रेरणा सारे षरीर के लिए चल पड़ती है।अंतःस्त्रावी ग्रन्थियों से स्त्रावित होने वाले हार्मोन इन रंगों के प्रभाव से अपनी क्षमता में रंगों की चुम्बकीय षक्ति से न्यूनाधिक होते है और अपने प्रभाव में परिवर्तन करते हैं। मस्तिष्क की पिट्युटरी और पीनियल ग्रन्थियों पर रंगों का प्रभाव प्रत्यक्ष देखा गया है। हाइपोथैलेमस क्षेत्र को इसी आधार पर उत्तेजित और शांत होते देखा गया है। यही कारण है तो दुर्बलता और रूग्णता का निवारण करने में सहायक होते हैं।
