Essays in the History of Nephrology by Robert I. Levy Pdf

Essays in the History of Nephrology is the second in a five-volume series in Medical Humanities, which attempt to make physicians more compassionate, caring, empathetic and better devoted to the calling of enhancing longevity and quality of life, doing no harm, and eliminating pain, while simultaneously striving for the ideal physician as a well rounded, multi-facted, versatile, diversely talented practitioner with a wide breadth of intellectual interests: in other words, "a Renaissance man." The ten essays in this volumedeepen our understanding of the research of Richard Bright, Sir Robert Christison, Pierre Rayer, Sir William Osler, and others. They apply the methods of the discipline of history, drawing on primary and secondary sources, as it relates to the uncovering the modern evolution from the 18th to 20th centuries of major breakthroughs, turning points, paradigm shifts, and widening of areas of knowledge in the evolution of nephrology in the field of medicine.

History of Nephrology 3 by International Association for the History of Nephrology. Congress,Garabed Eknoyan Pdf

While nephrology is but a toddler in the brief history of compartmentalization of medical disciplines, conceptualizations of the functions and diseases of the kidney have existed since antiquity, developed over time and still continue to unfold. It is the unraveling of this heretofore buried past that is continued in this third volume of 'History of Nephrology'. Beginning with a section on the magic and myths associated with the kidney, the book then continues with chapters on the roots of nephrology as recorded in Babylonian, Egyptian, Pre-Columbian, Greek, Byzantine and medieval medical texts. A third section is dedicated to the contributions of the Padua School of Medicine to nephrology during the 17th century, followed by articles on the contributions of different countries to renal physiology during the 18th and 19th centuries. The concluding sections explore the emergence of the modern era in nephrology and selected aspects of renal replacement therapy. Considering the broad approach taken in this publication, it provides interesting and informative reading not only for nephrologists proper, but also for those interested in the history of medicine in general.

Landmark Papers in Nephrology by John Feehally,Christopher McIntyre,J. Stewart Cameron Pdf

Landmarks in Nephrology points the reader to some of the seminal observations which have led to the practice of nephrology as we know it today. Twenty areas of nephrology are covered by discrete chapters, with the editors selecting the ten most important papers ever published in that field. These range from observational and experimental studies from the 18th century, which laid the groundwork for our current understanding of the kidney, through to recent randomized controlled clinical trials. The papers also reflect the emergence of nephrology as a speciality in the last fifty years, stimulated particularly by the introduction of renal biopsy and the development of dialysis and transplantation as effective forms of renal replacement therapy. For each paper, there is a succinct commentary which highlights the importance of the work in its historical context, as well as a recommended reading section to encourage the interested reader to explore further. It is of course a near-impossible task to choose only two hundred papers from the whole oeuvre of nephrology. However, these chosen few are undoubtedly among the great landmarks of nephrology, reflecting the varying coincidences of brilliance, persistence, and good fortune which are necessary for progress in medical science. Encompassing the breadth, range and depth of the intellectual journey which precedes us in the development of nephrology, they provide a telling illustration of Sir Isaac Newton's words to Robert Hooke in 1675: 'If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants'.
