Evidence and Rational Based Research on Chinese Drugs
After the successful introduction of acupuncture to the West, recent advances in analytical methods in chemistry, molecular biology and systems biology – especially the development of the “omic” technologies – have again brought Chinese drugs into the focus of research on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). With more than 1000 publications on the chemistry, molecular biology and pharmacology of TCM drugs in international journals over the last 10 years, Chinese drugs are gaining increasingly reputation and impact. These data offer great opportunities for the development of new pharmaceuticals for various clinical applications. International scientists have compiled relevant and trend setting research results in this book. Topics range from the latest methods of quality and safety assurance by chemical and genetic fingerprints to the development of new pharmaceuticals for a future evidence-based therapy e.g. for cancer, cardiovascular, inflammatory or infectious diseases as well as to recent experimental results on multitarget and synergy research for the preparation of multi-extract-pharmaceuticals from TCM.
Ancient and Traditional Foods, Plants, Herbs and Spices used in Cancer
The use of different foods, herbs, and spices to treat or prevent disease has been recorded for thousands of years. Egyptian papyrus, hieroglyphics and ancient texts from the Middle East have described the cultivation and preparations of herbs and botanicals to “cure the sick.” There are even older records from China and India. Some ancient scripts describe the use of medicinal plants which have never been seen within European cultures. Indeed, all ancient civilizations have pictorial records of different foods, herbs, and spices being used for medical purposes. However, there are fundamental questions pertaining to the scientific evidence for the use of these agents or their extracts in...
HERBAL DARI KITAB SUCI
Kitab suci agama di dunia bagai samudera ilmu pengetahuan. Ia tak melulu bicara ritual keagamaan, tapi juga bercerita anggur, delima, zaitun, jintan, jahe, lotus, dan kurma, serta manfaatnya. Dalam perjanjian lama disebutkan Nabi Nuh ialah orang pertama di muka bumi yang berkebun anggur Vitis vinifera lalu mengolahnya menjadi wine. Di perjanjian baru anggur tertulis untuk membersihkan luka. Riset terkini mengungkap anggur mencegah dan mengobati beragam penyakit. Pantas profesor gizi terkemuka di sebuah universitas di tanahair menganjurkan anggur bagi penderita gangguan ginjal, gangguan mata, kanker, kolesterol, dan darah tinggi. Dalam Al Qur'an jahe disebut sebagai minuman surga dan bermanfaat untuk pereda rasa sakit nyeri sendi, pengobat hati, hingga pencegah kanker. Beragam tanaman lain yang tercantum dalam kitab suci agama-agama punya kisah lain yang tak kalah menarik untuk pengobatan.***
The Oxford Handbook of Science and Medicine in the Classical World
With a focus on science in the ancient societies of Greece and Rome, including glimpses into Egypt, Mesopotamia, India and China, The Oxford Handbook of Science and Medicine in the Classical World offers an in depth synthesis of science and medicine circa 650 BCE to 650 CE. The Handbook comprises five sections, each with a specific focus on ancient science and medicine. The second section covers the early Greek era, up through Plato and the mid-fourth century bce. The third section covers the long Hellenistic era, from Aristotle through the end of the Roman Republic, acknowledging that the political shift does not mark a sharp intellectual break. The fourth section covers the Roman era from ...
Cultural Capital
Britain began the twenty-first century convinced of its creativity. Throughout the New Labour era, the visual and performing arts, museums and galleries, were ceaselessly promoted as a stimulus to national economic revival, a post-industrial revolution where spending on culture would solve everything, from national decline to crime. Tony Blair heralded it a “golden age.” Yet despite huge investment, the audience for the arts remained a privileged minority. So what went wrong? In Cultural Capital, leading historian Robert Hewison gives an in-depth account of how creative Britain lost its way. From Cool Britannia and the Millennium Dome to the Olympics and beyond, he shows how culture became a commodity, and how target-obsessed managerialism stifled creativity. In response to the failures of New Labour and the austerity measures of the Coalition government, Hewison argues for a new relationship between politics and the arts.
