Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

9.4K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Drug Classes and Categories01:25

Drug Classes and Categories

3.1K
Drugs can be classified according to their chemical composition or their intended therapeutic application. For instance, anti-infective agents that possess the ability to eliminate pathogens or suppress their growth and reproduction can be grouped based on the organisms they target or their chemical structure. Furthermore, drugs can be divided into prescription, nonprescription, or controlled substances. Prescription medications, such as antibiotics, require oversight from a licensed healthcare...

Cardiovascular Drugs: Classification based on Therapeutic Indications

4.2K
Cardiovascular diseases, encompassing a range of conditions, can significantly affect the heart's operations and the overall circulatory system. These conditions impair the heart's ability to pump blood, leading to a deficit in oxygen supply to crucial organs. Anomalies in the heart's electrical system, known as arrhythmias, can cause heartbeats to accelerate or slow down. Usually, heart rates increase during physical activity and decrease while resting or sleeping. However,...

Classification of Neurotransmitters01:30

Classification of Neurotransmitters

5.3K
Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in the communication between neurons in the autonomic nervous system. Neurons in the autonomic nervous system can be cholinergic or adrenergic depending on the neurotransmitters synthesized. Cholinergic neurons use acetylcholine as their primary neurotransmitter. This includes all the preganglionic fibers of the sympathetic and pre- and postganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic nervous systems. In addition, neurons of the somatic nervous system also use...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

4.9K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Relaxants01:28

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Relaxants

3.6K
Skeletal muscle relaxants are a group of drugs that can reduce muscle stiffness and induce temporary paralysis to relieve pain. These agents can act centrally to reduce muscle tone or spasms in painful conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or spinal injuries; they are called antispasmodics or spasmolytics.
Peripherally acting skeletal muscle relaxants interfere with the neurotransmission at the neuromuscular end plate to induce paralysis during...

Area of Science:

  • Traditional Japanese Medicine
  • History of Medicine
  • Medical Pattern Classification

Background:

  • Kampo medicine patterns have evolved throughout Japanese history.
  • Key texts like Shang Han Lun and Jin Gui Yao Lue influenced early Kampo.
  • The principle of "matching of pattern and formula" remains central to Kampo.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To overview the historical formation of Kampo medical patterns.
  • To understand the evolution of Kampo's diagnostic and treatment principles.
  • To provide context for Kampo's role in modern Japanese healthcare.

Main Methods:

  • Historical analysis of traditional Japanese medical texts.
  • Examination of the influence of Chinese medicine on Kampo.
  • Review of the impact of Western medicine adoption and Kampo's revival.

Main Results:

  • Kampo patterns shifted from Ming medical theory to Han dynasty classics.
  • Physician Todo Yoshimasu formalized the "matching of pattern and formula" principle.
  • Modernization efforts by Western-trained physicians integrated Kampo into contemporary healthcare.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding Kampo's historical development is crucial for its contemporary application.
  • The evolution of Kampo patterns reflects adaptation and integration with other medical systems.
  • Kampo medicine continues to be a relevant part of Japan's healthcare landscape.
