Historia medicinae recently received this book for review. It provides a unique perspective and pictorial look into the practice of medicine in other cultures often not covered in the history of medicine. A greater appreciation of these cultures and their treatment of illness can be gained from this new text by Professor Peter de Smet. A more detailed review to come soon.

Historia medicinae is now listed on the IndexCopernicus site. We are currently in the process of adding abstracts to the listing to allow greater exposure to our authors' works. In addition, we are in the process of getting articles indexed with Google Scholar. With all of these steps we anticipate heightened awareness of the journal's presence and greater promulgation of our content.

In this article, we learn about the impact of european medical literature on the lives and practice of colonial American physicians such as Drs. Thomas Williams and Elihu Ashley. Rosemary Pollock guides the reader through the encounters of these particular colonial doctors with european advances in medicine and challenges the notion that colonial medicine operated without knowledge of european advances. Included in this article are images of the medical books used by these doctors. |

In this newly released article, Jenny du Feu, a medical student at University of Aberdeen, discusses the social factors influencing the outcomes of rehabilitation programs for soldiers. She explores the notions and practices that may have hindered the successful reintegration of former soldiers into society. Many of these same societal perspectives exist today and reading this piece even now reminds us of the attitudes surrounding veterans' health rehabilitation we may still observe. Read the article. |

Historia medicinae is broadening its scope to include creative artwork submissions. These may include photographs, prints, or other 2-dimensional artwork. Submissions should be sent electronically to the submissions editor ideally as EPS, PS, tiff or jpeg with 400+ DPI resolution. We welcome all submissions, though would prefer artwork more closely related to the history of medicine. |
