Primitive Medicine

چکیده
IT was Sir Winston Churchill who remarked in 1944, when addressing the Royal College of Physicians, that "the longer you can look back, the further you can look forward." Probably in no field is this more true than in the biological sciences. An understanding of their evolution in a historical sense at once provides a perspective and a background to knowledge which illuminates the path to further effort. In the days of early civilization, and even today among primitive peoples, the conceptions of medicine, magic, and religion are closely connected, and the separation of one from the other is difficult or impossible. Medicine has not always been an autonomous institution as it is today in modern society. Among primitive peoples it is difficult to draw a definite line between medicine and religion. If the beliefs of mankind in general concerning the causation of disease are examined, it is found that the causes may be grouped in three main classes:

Peripheral Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor of the Pelvis
The primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) belongs to a group of highly malignant tumors and is composed of small round cells of a neuroectodermal origin. Categorized in the same tumor family as Ewing sarcoma, the PNET is most likely to occur in bones and soft tissues. However, a small number of PNET cases arising in the pelvis have been reported as well. We present three cases of pelvic PNET: ...
متن کاملPeripheral Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor of the Ovary: The Report of Two Rare Cases
Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET) is a highly aggressive small round cell tumor belonging to PNET/Ewing sarcoma family. Ovarian tumors composed of primitive neuroectodermal elements are extremely rare. Herein we reported two cases of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors of ovary in two patients with different clinical presentations. Definite diagnoses were made bas...
متن کاملPrimitive Ideal Space of Ultragraph $C^*$-algebras
In this paper, we describe the primitive ideal space of the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(mathcal G)$ associated to the ultragraph $mathcal{G}$. We investigate the structure of the closed ideals of the quotient ultragraph $ C^* $-algebra $C^*left(mathcal G/(H,S)right)$ which contain no nonzero set projections and then we characterize all non gauge-invariant primitive ideals. Our results generalize the ...
متن کاملFDG PET scan in a primitive neuroectodermal tumor.
Primitive peripheral neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a rare tumor that often arises in soft tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging is a good diagnostic tool that can establish the extent of disease. The utility of positron emission tomography (PET) using F-18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) in the diagnostic work-up and staging of PNET has not been well established. We present a case of PNET of the ...
