In Quest of ‘Good’ Medical Classification Systems
Tập 3 - Trang 53-70 - 2011
Medical classification systems aim to provide a manageable taxonomy for sorting
diagnoses into their proper classes. The question, this paper wants to
critically examine, is how to correctly systematise diseases within
classification systems that are applied in a variety of different settings. ICD
and DSM, the two major classification systems in medicine and psychiatry, will
be the main subjects o...
Rejuvenation’s Return: Anti-aging and Re-masculinization in Biomedical Discourse on the ‘Aging Male’
Tập 1 Số 3 - Trang 249-265 - 2009
Perspectivity in Psychiatric Research: The Psychopathology of Schizophrenia in Postwar Germany (1955–1961)
Tập 4 - Trang 103-111 - 2013
The reorganization of psychiatric knowledge at the turn of the twentieth century
derived from Emil Kraepelin’s clinical classification of psychoses.
Surprisingly, within just few years, Kraepelin’s simple dichotomy between
dementia praecox (schizophrenias) and manic-depressive psychosis (bipolar
disorders) succeeded in giving psychiatry a new framework that is still used
until the present day. Une...
Social Justice, Health Inequities, and Access to New Age-Related Interventions
Tập 1 - Trang 281-295 - 2009
New interventions into the aging process have already prolonged the life span of
nematodes, fruit flies, mice, and most recently even of primates. What has been
successful in laboratory animals may be applied to human aging in the long run
as well. At the same time, the almost universal trend of population aging raises
concerns that health care costs will rise significantly and that this trend wil...
Kuhnian Paradigms: On Meaning and Communication Breakdown in Medicine
Tập 2 Số 4 - Trang 245-263 - 2011
In this paper, I enquire whether there are Kuhnian paradigms in medicine, by way
of analysing a case study from the history of medicine—the discovery of the germ
theory of disease in the nineteenth century. I investigate the Kuhnian aspects
of this event by comparing the work of the famous school of microbiology founded
by Robert Koch with a rival school, powerful in the nineteenth century, but no...
Regenerative Pathologies: Stem Cells, Teratomas and Theories of Cancer
Tập 1 - Trang 55-66 - 2008
What is now familiarly referred to as the ‘embryonic stem (ES) cell’ is a recent
biological category whose origins lie in research into benign and malignant
teratomas carried out in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. In these studies, the question
of the normal or pathological character of the ES cell was a matter of
considerable debate and indeed the term ES cell was often used interchangeably
with that of ...
