The world of medicine interacts with biology, anatomy, chemistry
and physiology. Thus, it takes an extremely talented scientist,
scholar and researcher to unwrap and unravel the wonders and
complexities of the human body and medical illness, pains and
problems. This book attempts to do just that and explain how many
biomedical scientists and researchers were able to discover and
treat various medical conditions as well as provide insights into
the therapeutic process. Some of the words readers will encounter
in this book strike fear into the hearts of physicians and nurses
everywhereacancer , gout, high cholesterol, catecholamine's,
viruses, bacteria, malaria, typhoid, and other ailments. Blood,
cells, stem cells, insulin, the immune system and mutagenesis are
all involved in the optimal functioning of the human body, yet the
average person knows little about blood, the basic of the cell
structure, how it operates and what it does in the human body in
terms of promoting health and human functioning. Diabetes,
Huntington's, cancer are all ailments that impact the human species
more or less and, in many instances, result in death. Yet who were
the scientists that researched and discovered these ailments and
maladies and how did they first analyze the relationship between
these illnesses and the human body? Where did they come from? How
did they occur? How can we address these illnesses and difficulties
so as to live a fruitful robust life? We hear so much about the
human genome continually in scientific circles, yet the general
public has little understanding of it and in fact, the average
citizen knows little about their genetic structure and how it has
impacted their lives. Even physicians are only minimally trained in
the complexities of genetics, but this text offers at least some
introductory information as to this "brave new world" of the human
genome and its relevance. Statins is a simple word but one that is
imperative to understand and salient to our heart, continued
existence and well-being. Homeostasis is, again, a simple word, yet
we should learn about it and its importance in our daily
functioning and understand it as a basic element of our existence.
While it seems a basic concept, it is imperative for human optimal
functioning. And of course, the cellaone of the building blocks of
the human bodya the surface of the cell, and all of the magical
mysteries that revolve around this basic element of the human body,
are important elements for scientists, scholars and researchers to
understand and grasp. The book is a journey into the lives of
famous scientists and scholars who went on to win the Nobel Prize,
even though many were rejected by many medical schools. These
scholarsaboth men and womenawent on to achieve great things and
survive difficulties, discrimination and dire straits. It is only
right, just and proper that these famous men and women should be
recognized for their contributions to science, medicine and
humanity.
