Abstract

En 1904 Ricardo Palma publicó el primer tomo de las Memorias histórico, físicas, crítico, apologéticas de la América Meridional de José Eusebio Llano Zapata (Lima, 1721 - Cádiz, 1780), dedicado al reino mineral. Reconoció que era sólo el primer tomo pero creyó que los otros tomos estaban perdidos. Sin embargo, en la Biblioteca del Palacio Real de Madrid se encontraban los tomos dedicados a los reinos vegetal y animal. Presentamos aquí una transcripción de los tres tomos —con importantes mejoras a la edición de Palma— con textos introductorios y una bibliografía extensa. Llano Zapata era un personaje único en el Perú del XVIII. Virtual autodidacta, hablaba múltiples idiomas, asesoraba a los virreyes, y escribía trabajos importantes tanto en Latín como en Español. Viajó al sur del continente entre 1750 y 1755 acumulando importante información para su obra “meridional”, y presentó el primer tomo de su obra maestra a la Corte de Madrid en 1758. El manuscrito fue evaluado por varias personalidades e instancias distinguidas pero por razones que analizamos en detalle en la introducción su pedido fue rechazado. Llano Zapata ofrece una serie de delicias para los lectores especialistas y no especialistas a la vez que da una buena idea de las corrientes intelectuales de la época. Sus temas incluyen la medicina natural, la geografía y la flora. Provee descripciones fascinantes de la quincha, el plátano (“socorro de todo pobre”), las enfermedades venéreas y animales como el avestruz, el cóndor y el unicornio. Es una obra monumental que sale a la luz después de casi 250 años.

Abstract

This is the first scholarly study in which the production, trade and political effects of opium and its derivatives are shown over many centuries, and in many countries (China, India, Indonesia, Japan, all Southeast Asian countries and some in Europe and the Americas). Starting in the 16th century, slavery and opium became the two means with which the bodies and souls of men and women in the tropics were exploited in western imperialism and colonialism. The first waned with the abolition movement in the 19th century, but opium production and trade continued to spread, with the associated serious social and political effects. Around 1670 the Dutch introduced opium as a cash crop for mass production and distribution in India and Indonesia. China became the main target in the 19th century, and only succeeded in getting rid of the opium problem around 1950. Then it had already been transformed from an “Eastern” into a “Western” problem.

Abstract

Antioxidants in Health and Disease discusses the effects of dietary antioxidants and antioxidant supplementation in humans. It reviews the latest evidence-based research in the area, principally through prospective cohort studies and randomized controlled trials.The book assesses major dietary antioxidants and discusses their use in diseases such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, coronary heart disease, HIV/AIDS, and neurodegenerative and immune diseases. The use of antioxidants in health is also discussed along with common adverse effects associated with antioxidant use.Separating myth from fact,

Abstract

Since the 1990's there has been an increase in the use of toxic weapons; for example, inexpensive and easily acquired chemicals and industrial waste. This work examines the implications of toxic weapon use for military planning and concludes that such weapons merit further analysis.

Abstract

Il libro illustra con un repertorio fotografico corredato di testi in italiano e in inglese la raccolta di farmaci e di droghe vegetali delle collezioni storiche dei dipartimenti di Farmacologia e di Biologia Vegetale dell'Università di Firenze. La raccolta comprende farmaci di interesse storico ancora importanti (chinino, digitale, aspirina, ecc.), accanto ad altri caduti in disuso per scarsa attività o elevata tossicità ed è un interessante esempio delle variazioni della terapia medica nel corso del '900. Le immagini fotografiche evidenziano l'alta qualità artistica dei contenitori in vetro e delle etichette e sottolineano il valore museale, oltre che scientifico, delle collezioni.

Abstract

TBX genes belong to a family of homeotic genes (t-boxes) for which it has been proved that gene mutations have serious consequences on the development. In particular, there is significant evidence to support the involvement of the TBX1 gene in DiGeorge / Velocardiofacial syndrome (DGS/VCFS) and it has been proved that the TBX3 and TBX5 genes are implicated, respectively, in UMS (Ulnar Mammary Syndhrome) and in Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS). The book collects information available in the literature up to October 2001 on human TBX genes. The review of the data allowed to come to interesting considerations and offers ideas for orienting further research.

Abstract

L'origine des pharmacopées traditionnelles L'élaboration des pharmacopées Les médicaments du XXIe siècle Comment les connaissances des savoirs thérapeutiques se sont-elles transmises au travers des différentes cultures ? Cet ouvrage innovant, qui réunit les travaux présentés au 4e Congrès européen d'ethnopharmacologie, fait remonter à la préhistoire les sources des connaissances thérapeutiques. Si les pharmacopées écrites jalonnent l'histoire des grandes médecines savantes, d'autres modes d'accès à la connaissance semblent exister dans l'univers chamanique des sociétés de tradition orale ainsi que dans la façon dont les animaux malades se soignent par les plantes. L'évaluation des propriétés pharmaco-toxicologiques et chimiques des plantes d'usage traditionnel devrait par ailleurs favoriser le développement futur des médicaments à base de plantes, l'un des thèmes porteurs abordés dans cet ouvrage. Mais l'objectif de ce livre est aussi de susciter, partout dans le monde, de nouvelles thématiques de recherche dans le domaine de la préhistoire du médicament et de la compréhension de l'acquisition et de la transmission du savoir. Le développement du phytomédicament non toxique destiné à l'homme et à l'animal figure également parmi les enjeux majeurs de demain. The origin of traditional pharmacopoeias The development of pharmacopoeias The medicines of the XXIth century How have the traditional Therapeutical knowledges been transmited to the différent cultures? This innovating book containing the proceedings of the 4th European Congress of Ethnopharmacology return to prehistory the sources of fherapeutical knowledge and asks how the animals cure themselves with plants. If the printing pharmacopoeias ponctuate the history of learning medicines other way of accessibility to the knowledge seems exist in the world of shaman in society with oral tradition. Ethnopharmacological evaluation of traditional médicinal plant should favour the development of phytomedicine. The…
