La malattia: dagli sciamani alla medicina di precisione

Abstract

This book is not only an introductory refocusing of the foundations of Pathology general, but it would also be an excellent guide to intelligently instruct a solid, more advanced and necessary reform of medical curricula. The General Pathology has represented, at the origins and in the phase of greater scientific development of medicine, the space for meeting and integration between the two more advanced experimental applications applied to the study of diseases. A little abandoned in its function of theoretical synthesis from the advent of EBM (evidence based medicine), in the face of the challenges represented from the flow of genomic data and from the expectations of seeing a new personalized medicine re-emerge (because even the Hippocratic one in his methodological aspiration was a cropped medicine on the individual patient), the General Pathology could return to constitute, and this book is one valid example, a field of reflection able to re-establish the medicine theoretically, procuring a scientific reference framework capable of acquiring and transmitting to the doctor the relevant topics of a humanistic nature.
