Jandl, 2009 This volume presents texts written by Austrian and Chinese experts in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The issue the authors worked on is the basic problem how to make a different system of medical thinking plausible for the Western world, especially for Western medicine. This issue is considered from different viewpoints - from the viewpoint of Western medicine that is familiar with Chinese medicine and contrariwise from the viewpoint of Chinese Medicine that is familiar with its Western counterpart and from a philosophical viewpoint. In this way both differences in the theoretical systems of Western and Chinese medicine and problems of adequate translation are profundly discussed. |

| obstetrics and gynecology in chinese medicine free download: Principles of Chinese Medical Andrology Bob Damone, 2008-01-01 This book is an advanced textbook and clinical manual devoted to the treatment of andrological diseases with Chinese medicine, written for English-speaking students and practitioners of Chinese medicine. Book 1 introduces the foundations of Chinese andrology, beginning with a short history of andrology in Chinese medicine and progressing to discussions of anatomy of the male genitourinary system; the channels and network vessels; the viscera and bowels; disease causes and pathomechanisms; Chinese andrological diseases and general treatment principles. Book 2 covers specific andrological diseases including their definition; Western medical perspective; causes and pathomechanisms; disease and pattern discrimination; treatment principles; treatment with Chinese medicinals and acumoxa therapy; representative Chinese research abstracts, and case studies. The major evidence-based complementary Western herbs and supplements for each condition are also included, as Western patients are often already taking them by the time they seek the help of a physician of Chinese medicine or they are interested in taking them. Further, because the reader of this book is most likely to be a Western English-speaking person, the material is organized by Western medical disease categories, and each Western medical disease is reframed into its constituent Chinese disease categories. Without question, this book offers a major contribution towards a greater understanding of men's health and illness for those in the West to study or practice Chinese medicine. |

| obstetrics and gynecology in chinese medicine free download: Affordable Excellence William A. Haseltine, 2013 Today Singapore ranks sixth in the world in healthcare outcomes well ahead of many developed countries, including the United States. The results are all the more significant as Singapore spends less on healthcare than any other high-income country, both as measured by fraction of the Gross Domestic Product spent on health and by costs per person. Singapore achieves these results at less than one-fourth the cost of healthcare in the United States and about half that of Western European countries. Government leaders, presidents and prime ministers, finance ministers and ministers of health, policymakers in congress and parliament, public health officials responsible for healthcare systems planning, finance and operations, as well as those working on healthcare issues in universities and think-tanks should know how this system works to achieve affordable excellence.--Publisher's website. |

Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. When China’s War of Resistance against Japan began in July 1937, it sparked an immediate health crisis throughout China. In the end, China not only survived the war but emerged from the trauma with a more cohesive population. Intimate Communities argues that women who worked as military and civilian nurses, doctors, and midwives during this turbulent period built the national community, one relationship at a time. In a country with a majority illiterate, agricultural population that could not relate to urban elites’ conceptualization of nationalism, these women used their work of healing to create emotional bonds with soldiers and civilians from across the country. These bonds transcended the divides of social class, region, gender, and language. |

Readers interested in the role of herbs and foods in healing will also find much to learn here, as I have. . . . A fine work.”—Annemarie Colbin, author of Food and Healing The promise and mystery of Chinese medicine has intrigued and fascinated Westerners ever since the “Bamboo Curtain” was lifted in the early 1970s.

Whether you are a patient with an aggravating complaint or a curious intellectual seeker, Between Heaven and Earth opens the door to a vast storehouse of knowledge that bridges the gap between mind and body, theory and practice, professional and self-care, East and West. “Groundbreaking . . .

| obstetrics and gynecology in chinese medicine free download: Modern Tongue Diagnostics in Chinese Medicine Hong Chun Yin, 2018-07-15 This book is an introduction to diagnosis and treatment through looking at the tongue.Modern tongue diagnostics combines traditional Chinese medical tongue diagnostics with bio-holographic theory, using the holographic reflections on the tongue to diagnose disease, thereby improving the accuracy of the diagnosis in terms of what and where the illness is. This book introduces in detail the theory of the tongue midline as well as the positions where various organs are reflected on the tongue, as well as the appearances of the tongue corresponding to various pathological changes in these organs. This book is the first to publicize the author's many patented tongue diagnosis images, such as the panoramic hologram image which for the first time revealed the position and posture of the human body as it appears holographically on the tongue, the head and neck gland distribution image, the head and facial features map, and more. The author, aided by the experiences of previous scholars, discovered the position and posture of the human body as it appears holographically on the tongue. The holographic state of the human body as it appears on the tongue is in a prone position, that is, the head area is reflected at the tip of the tongue with the face facing forward, the legs and buttocks are reflected at the back of the tongue, and the four limbs are reflected in a bent position on the two sides of the tongue. The author has discovered how the glands of the head and neck are mapped on the tongue, especially the map of the thyroid gland on the tongue, refuting the common belief about how the thyroid gland is reflected on the tongue. Contrary to common belief, the thyroid gland is not reflected on the two sides of the cervical vertebrae reflection area on the tongue, but instead is on the two sides of the upper jiao area (the upper third of the tongue). The author has determined the areas of the tongue where various organs are reflected, as well as the changes in tongue appearance corresponding to the diseases in these organs. For example, heart disease is often reflected on the tongue as cracks or sunken areas in the heart reflection area of the tongue. In many years of clinical experience using tongue diagnostics, I have attempted to combine tongue diagnostics with herbal medicine and acupuncture, and have attained significant improvements in clinical efficacy, and have created a shortcut for accelerating diagnosis and improving efficacy. This book will mainly introduce diagnosis and differentiation based on the tongue with some case study. |

Acute neurological symptoms and signs are common in SCD at any age, and, as well as stroke, include transient ischaemic attack, headaches, seizures, and coma. An altered mental status with or without reduced level of consciousness, headache, seizures, visual loss, or focal signs can occur spontaneously, but also in numerous contexts, such as infection, acute chest syndrome (ACS), and acute anaemia. Nearly 50 years ago, it was clear from conventional cerebral angiography studies that the large extracranial and intracranial vessels were abnormal in patients with SCD and neurologic deficits, although the pathophysiology is not fully understood from human studies or laboratory models. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound has been used successfully to predict stroke risk in children, although those with abnormal time averaged maximum mean velocity >200 cm/sec may have very high blood flow or arterial stenosis. Although there are relatively few studies with matched controls, silent cerebral infarction on MRI is found in a high proportion of patients with SCD without clinical symptoms, sometimes starting as early as the 6th month of life, steadily accumulating with age, and predicting overt stroke. Meta-analyses have shown that typically siblings, children, and adults with SCD have cognitive difficulties over a wide range of domains, compared with matched controls. This includes processing speed and executive function. |
