Growth and Maturation of Brain (Progress in Brain Research) by D. P. Purpura Summary:

Publisher: Elsevier (1964) | ASIN: B0000CM3QR | Pages: 289 | PDF | 17.09 MB

Two factors have contributed to the renaissance of interest in the developing nervous system in the past decade: (1) the application of new operational methods in neurocytology, neurochemistry and neurophysiology to studies of the immature brain; and (2) the growing recognition of the value of ontogenesis as an analytical tool in neurobiological research. The expansion of investigative work in the phylogenesis and ontogenesis of the nervous system has brought into sharp focus the inevitable problem of establishing effective channels of communication within and across various disciplines. Considerable progress in this direction was made at a symposium sponsored by the Netherlands Central Institute for Brain Research.

The Practice of Chinese Medicine: The Treatment of Diseases with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs by Giovanni Maciocia

The Practice of Chinese Medicine: The Treatment of Diseases with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs by Giovanni Maciocia Summary:

Publisher: Churchill Livingstone; 1 edition (January 31, 1994) | ISBN: 0443043051 | Pages: 924 | PDF | 6.4 MB

This book is intended to be the companion volume to the "Foundations of Chinese Medicine", setting out the application of the theory of Chinese medicine to the treatment of specific diseases with both acupuncture and Chinese herbs. The discussion is centred around the old Chinese disease-symptoms, e.g. "headache", "dizziness", "abdominal pain", etc. Although these are normally referred to as "diseases" in Chinese medicine, they are symptoms rather than diseases in a Western medical sense. In a few cases, however, I do discuss actual diseases as defined in Western medicine; these are asthma, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, nephritis, myalgic encephalomyelitis, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, the common cold and influenza. This textbook sets out the treatment for 34 common diseases. With four exceptions - asthma, allergic rhinitis, myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and multiple sclerosis - all appear in textbooks of Chinese medicine. The theory of allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis presented in this book is entirely new; of course, it is far from perfect and will need constant revision according to clinical experience and research. The theory of ME, similarly new, is based on my own clinical experience, although the concepts of "residual pathogenic factor" and "Latent Heat" on which it is based are very old.
