        Textbook of Korean Medicine

        Medicinal drugs and formulations

        by Dr. Kenny Kuchta, Prof. Dr. Hans Wilhelm Rauwald, Hans Rausch and Dr. Raimund Royer

        The consistent and evidence-based development of Korean medicine in many clinical application areas has significantly improved its international status in recent years. The basis for this development is one of the most important medical books in Korea, the „Donguibogam“, a clinical lexicon of applications compiled about 400 years ago; at that time the traditional work also enjoyed the highest recognition in China. In 2009 it was included in the „Memory of the World“ register of UNESCO. Even now after 400 years, it still serves as a manual for writing prescriptions for many physicians in Korea, and testifies that the understanding of nature and human disease patterns is still current and clinically applicable even in the modern industrialised world. This work provides ■ understanding for Korean medicine, ■ many selected medicinal formulations and their fields of application, ■ the description and evaluation of important traditional single remedies, ■ the corresponding drug monographs with information on analytical testing

        Materialien zu Kants Rechtsphilosophie

        Herausgegeben von Zwi Batscha

        by Zwi Batscha

        Die Deutung von Kants politischer Theorie und Sozialphilosophie ist bis heute umstritten. Die für diesen Band ausgewählten Texte aus der modernen Kantforschung sollen das Spektrum der verschiedenen Interpretationen exemplarisch vorführen. Diesen Texten sind Auszüge aus den »Vorarbeiten« und »Reflexionen« Kants zu seinen rechtsphilosophischen Arbeiten vorangestellt, die einen überraschenden Einblick in den Konstitutionsprozeß der Kantschen Theoriebildung vermitteln. Vor allem aufgrund dieser in der Forschung stark vernachlässigten Notizen Kants kann Batscha in seiner Einleitung zeigen, daß Versuche wie die Poppers und Schelskys, Kant gegen moderne »linke« Autoren auszuspielen, wenig überzeugen. Seine rechts- und sozialphilosophischen Reflexionen weisen Kant als einen der radikalsten Vertreter des deutschen Frühliberalismus aus; seine Reformvorschläge stehen in scharfem Gegensatz zu jeder Variante eines technokratischen Konservativismus.

        Studien zur politischen Theorie des deutschen Frühliberalismus

        by Zwi Batscha

        Der vorliegende Band versammelt sieben Arbeiten Batschas über das politische Denken der deutschen Spätaufklärung. Gemeinsamer Bezugspunkt dieses Denkens war die Französische Revolution. Die Reflexion über Politik war der deutschen Aufklärung zwar nicht fremd, doch wurde sie durch die Revolution in Frankreich intensiviert, vertieft und um neue Fragestellungen bereichert. Auch die Aufspaltung in verschiedene politische Strömungen stammt noch aus früherer Zeit, aber durch die Notwendigkeit, zu den Ereignissen im Nachbarland Stellung zu beziehen, in seinem politischen Denken Farbe zu bekennen, wurden die Auseinandersetzungen heftiger, kompromißloser und des öfteren auch rücksichtsloser. Im Zentrum der politischen Diskussion stehen frühliberale Denkansätze, deren Quintessenz es ist, rechtsstaatliche Grundsätze im damaligen Deutschland zu propagieren und sie durch Reformen von oben zu verwirklichen, um damit den Ausbruch der Revolution zu verhindern.

        Medication Management in the Hospital

        A workbook for ward pharmacists

        by Dr. Insa Gross, MSc Andreas Fischer and Dr. Holger Knoth

        The ward pharmacist in the hospital is like the airbag in a car. As part of a fail-safe system, they monitor and optimise the patient’s drug therapy. Ward pharmacists work hand in hand with medical and nursing staff. That situation is also reflected in this workbook. All the cases presented were patients who had been cared for, evaluated and documented by a physician-pharmacist duo or similar team with combined medical and pharmaceutical expertise. The editorial team considered it important to illustrate all critical indications typically encountered in a hospital. In assessing and selecting the examples, they were able to draw upon the many years’ experience of their pioneering work as hospital and ward pharmacists. Practical tips, checklists, comments and advice for working in the ward environment round off the individual chapters. By learning from actual cases, this book offers the unique chance to develop an instinct for the pitfalls of drug safety. That applies to those who have successfully completed further training in the field of “Medication Management in the Hospital” and for all who wish to ensure the optimum treatment for their patients through competent work in clinical pharmacy.

        Managing diabetes, managing medicine

        Chronic disease and clinical bureaucracy in post-war Britain

        by Martin D. Moore, Keir Waddington, David Cantor

        This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Through its study of diabetes care in twentieth-century Britain, Managing diabetes, managing medicine offers the first historical monograph to explore how the decision-making and labour of medical professionals became subject to bureaucratic regulation and managerial oversight. Where much existing literature has cast health care management as either a political imposition or an assertion of medical control, this work positions managerial medicine as a co-constructed venture. Although driven by different motives, doctors, nurses, professional bodies, government agencies and international organisations were all integral to the creation of managerial systems, working within a context of considerable professional, political, technological, economic and cultural change.

        Situating religion and medicine in Asia

        Methodological insights and innovations

        by Michael Stanley-Baker

        This edited volume presents the latest research on the intersection of religion and medicine in Asia. It features chapters by internationally known scholars, who bring to bear a range of methodological and geographic expertise on this topic. The book's central question is to what extent 'religion' and 'medicine' have overlapped or interrelated in various Asian societies. Collectively, the contributions explore a number of related issues, such as: which societies separated out religious from medical concerns, at which times and in what ways? Where have medicine and religion converged, and how has such knowledge been defined by scholars and cultural actors? Are 'religion' and 'medicine' the best terms by which scholars can grapple with knowledge about the sacred and the self, destiny and disease?

        Erinnerung an Hans

        by Hermann Hesse, Volker Michels

        Um sich den Verlust besonders nahestehender Menschen erträglicher zu machen, hatte Hermann Hesse die Gewohnheit, nachdem deren Todesnachricht ihn erreicht hatte und der Schmerz am empfindlichsten war, seine Erinnerungen an die Verstorbenen aufzuzeichnen. Denn eine der wichtigsten Funktionen der Literatur war für ihn das Aufbewahren des Vergänglichen im Wort, das Heraufbeschwören des Gewesenen durch möglichst genaue Schilderung. Solche Rückblicke, genannt »Gedenkblätter«, waren nicht nur Würdigungen der Verstorbenen, sondern stets auch Bestandteile seiner eigenen Lebensgeschichte. Zu den ergiebigsten dieser Aufzeichnungen gehören die Erinnerungen an seinen fünf Jahre jüngeren Bruder Hans, dem letzten der acht Nachkommen aus den beiden Ehen seiner Mutter. Wie es dazu kommen konnte, dass Hans sich im Alter von 43 Jahren das Leben nahm, berichtet der Dichter in dieser ergreifenden autobiografischen Erzählung. Das Nachwort schildert die Vorgänge aus anderen Quellen, ergänzt um die beiden Gedichte, die Hesse dem Bruder gewidmet hat.

        Bericht einer Reise in die Sächsische Schweiz

        by Hans Christian Andersen, Ulrich Sonnenberg, Ludwig Richter, C. A. Richter

        Hans Christian Andersen (1805 - 1875) war ein reisefreudiger Mann. Im Frühjahr 1831 fuhr er durch Deutschland und hielt seine Eindrücke in einem Reisebuch fest. Es sind die Schönheiten der Gegend um Dresden, die ihn besonders entzückten, es war die freundliche Aufnahme »vortrefflicher Menschen«, die ihm guttat, und es war die geheimnisvolle Melancholie, die über der Sächsischen Schweiz liegt, die seiner Herzensstimmung entgegenkam. Der Reisebericht, der in der ersten deutschen Gesamtausgabe von 1847 erschien, war um zahlreiche politische, religiöse und persönliche Passagen gekürzt worden, Kürzungen, die spätere Ausgaben beibehielten. Hier liegt Andersens Reisebericht erstmals mit dem ungekürzten Text vor: in der vollständigen Fassung in Deutschland ein bislang fast unbekanntes Werk.

        Self-medication in Pregnancy and Breast-feeding

        Counselling handbook

        by Dr. Annette Abhau

        Cough, hay fever or herpes are at least as troublesome during pregnancy and breast-feeding as under normal “conditions” - and yet everything is different. Physiological changes to the body in pregnancy and lactation, together with the vulnerability of the unborn baby or infant, set particular requirements when selecting the correct, safe medication. Especially in the area of self-medication, the needs of pregnant and breast-feeding women for information are great and call for competent advice! This comprehensive handbook is the key: General information about pharmacotherapy, supplementary measures, vaccinations, questions about diet and infections in pregnancy and lactation creates a broad knowledge base. The core feature of the book are the traffic light tables, with precise recommendations for medicinal products for all types of treatment. All the important indications for selfmedication in pregnancy and lactation are listed and the tables are supported by detailed explanations of the individual assessments. The sections “Advice from medical specialists” are particularly useful, with additional tips from gynaecologists and “Footnotes” with relevant information on the use of prescription- only medicines – and as the ultimate practical tool: the enclosed sales counter leaflets with all traffic light tables to enable quick reference for first-class advice!

        Hans Jonas – »Zusammen Philosoph und Jude«

        Essay

        by Christian Wiese

        Hans Jonas verstand sich nie als »jüdischer Philosoph«, sondern fühlte sich einem universalen philosophischen Denken verpflichtet. »Daß man zusammen Philosoph und Jude ist, darin liegt eine gewisse Spannung, das ist keine Frage.« Die gerade erschienenen Erinnerungen des großen Denkers bezeugen eindringlich sein bewußtes Jude-Sein: Das Engagement für den Zionismus, die Emigration nach Palästina, der Kampf gegen Nazi-Deutschland als Soldat der Jüdischen Brigade, die Ermordung seiner Mutter in Auschwitz sind entscheidende biographische Wegmarken. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist das Verhältnis von Leben und Werk neu in den Blick zu nehmen. Auf der Grundlage von bislang größtenteils unbekannten Zeugnissen dokumentiert Christian Wiese aufschlußreiche Facetten der Jonasschen Biographie – etwa die Freundschaft sowie den Konflikt mit Gershom Scholem und Hannah Arendt. Zudem zeigt er die Einflüsse jüdischer Traditionselemente in dessen religionsgeschichtlichen und philosophischen Schriften auf. Die von Hans Jonas zeitlebens bewahrte Bindung an das Judentum ist, wie Christian Wiese hier erstmals umfassend vor Augen führt, zentral für das Verständnis seines Lebenswerks.

        Das Prinzip Verantwortung

        Versuch einer Ethik für die technologische Zivilisation | Der Klassiker von Hans Jonas – mit einem Nachwort von Robert Habeck

        by Hans Jonas, Robert Habeck

        »Hans Jonas’ Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der Umweltethik ist kaum zu überschätzen.« Neue Zürcher Zeitung Als Das Prinzip Verantwortung 1979 wenige Wochen vor der Gründung der Grünen erstmals erschien, war der Treibhauseffekt noch nicht im allgemeinen Bewusstsein angekommen. Heute sind die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels evident: Überflutungen in warmen Wintern, Waldbrände in trockenen Sommern. In seinem Standardwerk der Umweltethik formulierte Jonas allerdings schon vor vier Jahrzenten Antworten auf drängende moralische Fragen: Sind wir verantwortlich für den Fortbestand der Menschheit auf der Erde? Ist jeder Einzelne in der Pflicht? Und wie lassen sich Staaten und deren Institutionen zum Handeln bewegen? Hans Jonas argumentiert für eine radikale Ethik der ökologischen Verantwortung, der Individuen, Unternehmen und Regierungen gleichermaßen unterworfen sind. Dabei geht er mit unserem bedingungslosen Technikglauben genauso hart ins Gericht wie mit den Dynamiken des Machterhalts in demokratischen Systemen, in denen Zukunft höchstens bis zur nächsten Wahl gedacht wird. Sein Plädoyer für den »Vorrang der schlechten vor der guten Prognose« ist aktueller denn je.
