  Medicine - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Medicine is the branch of health science and the sector of public life concerned with maintaining or restoring human health through the study, diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury.
Medicine as it is practiced now developed largely in the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century in England (William Harvey, seventeenth century), Germany (Rudolf Virchow) and France (Jean-Martin Charcot, Claude Bernard and others).
Evidence-based medicine is a recent movement to establish the most effective algorithms of practice (ways of doing things) through the use of the scientific method and modern global information science by collating all the evidence and developing standard protocols which are then disseminated to doctors.

 HIV
One case was reported of transmission from an HlV-infected hemophiliac to his twin hemophiliac brother, which may have resulted from a shared razor." A second case was documented of transmission of the HIV from an HlV-infected child to an HIVseronegative child.
This absence of documented cases of transmission during athletic activity is significant in view of the known prevalence of HIV infection.
The HIV transmission is documented to occur in approximately 1 of 300 needle-stick injuries involving infected blood.

 Sir Henry Dale - Nobel Lecture
At the same time, it had to be recognized that the transmission of nervous excitation at ganglionic synapses, and at motor nerve endings in voluntary muscle, was a phenomenon of a different order from any of those in connexion with which the intervention of a chemical transmitter had hitherto been demonstrated, or even considered.
The effects of eserine, on the transmission of excitation in the ganglion, are complicated by a paralyzing action of this alkaloid on the ganglion cells, and still need further elucidation.
Hitherto the evidence concerning a chemical transmission in the central nervous system, of the type which we have found prevailing at all peripheral synapses, is scattered and insufficiently uniform in its indications.

 ACP Online - Telemedicine Glossary
Communications (e.g., broadcast television, microwave, and satellite) capable of carrying a wide range of frequencies; refers to transmission of signals in a frequency-modulated fashion, over a segment of the total bandwidth available, thereby permitting simultaneous transmission of several messages.
Transmission wire(s) covered by an insulating layer, a shielding layer, and an outer jacket; used for data, voice, and video transmissions; can transmit either broadband (several signals) or baseband (one signal).
Transmission of static images or audio-video clips to a remote data storage device, from which they can be retrieved by a medical practitioner for review and consultation at any time, obviating the need for the simultaneous availability of the consulting parties and reducing transmission costs due to low bandwidth requirements.

 AMSSM HIV Statement
Although the mode of transmission is unknown, it is believed to be through unrecognized exposure to blood.7 While the virus may be present in a variety of body fluids, only blood poses any degree of risk of transmission in athletic settings.
One alleged case of HIV transmission was reported in 1990 between soccer players in Italy.2 However, this case lacked sufficient documentation to be considered a transmission during athletic activity.3 This absence of documented cases of transmission during athletic activity is significant in view of the known prevalence of HIV infection.
The risk of HIV transmission on the field in the National Football League has been conservatively estimated at below one per million games.8 The experience gathered from occupational exposure in the health-care setting has shown that the risk of transmission for parenteral exposure is likely influenced by a variety of factors.

 Sexually Transmitted Infections -- Drug Companies - Pipeline Drugs -- Clinical Trials
It is not possible to catch any sexually transmitted disease from a sexual activity with a person who is not carrying a disease; conversely a person who has an STD got it from contact (sexual or otherwise) with someone who had it, or their bodily fluids.
Prior to the invention of modern medicines, sexually-transmitted diseases were generally incurable, and treatment was limited to treating the symptoms of the disease.
By tracing the sexual partners of infected individuals, testing them for infection, treating the infected and tracing their contacts in turn, STI clinics could be very effective at suppressing infections in the general population.

 HIV Report May 2000 - Viral Load, Circumcision, and Heterosexual Transmission   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The rate of transmission from male to female was identical to the rate of transmission from female to male with one exception.
The dose-response effect of viral level on heterosexual transmission was almost identical to that observed in studies of mother-to-infant transmission.
The finding that there were no instances of transmission by seropositive subjects with viral levels <1,500 c/ml raises the possibility that reductions in viral level through the use of antiretroviral drugs or with the development of effective therapeutic vaccines could reduce the rate of transmission throughout this population and globally.

It is a presynaptic disorder of neuromuscular transmission defined by impaired quantal release of acetylcholine (Ach) that causes proximal muscle weakness, depressed tendon reflexes, posttetanic potentiation, and autonomic changes.
As neuromuscular transmission is completed at additional neuromuscular junctions, a transient increase will occur in compound motor action potential (CMAP) and in compound muscle action potential in the strength of the muscle.

 Remote Medicine
Remote medicine is being used throughout the world for some years now.
The cost of remote medicine and cultural changes (including laws and regulations) are the main two obstacles to using remote medicine.
For example, before remote medicine can be used to perform a remote surgical operation on a patient, the patient and his/her loved ones need to have confidence in the technology and the technology providers/operators as well as the remote physician performing the operation.

According to the New England Journal of Medicine transmission from mother to child is the primary means by which young children are infected with HIV.
Although exact statistics are not available, it is estimated that somewhere between 15 and 40 percent of babies born to infected mothers acquire the virus in one of three ways: in utero, during labor and delivery, or during breast feeding [7].
This provoked Marcia Angell, editor for the New England Journal of Medicine, to compare the AZT trials to the Tuskegee experiment, a textbook example of unethical research in which penicillin was knowingly withheld from African-American men in order to discover the course of the disease as it progressed [1].

The Phillips report (http://www.bseinquiry.gov.uk/) is the first official document to state that BSE is not scrapie, that it is caused by feeding cattle infected with BSE to other cattle and that it gives rise to CJD in humans.
It details the failings of the agricultural and meat-producing communities, and the government bodies responsible for their oversight, that lead to BSE transmission to the human population.
The complexity of the licensing system means that ensuring that UK bovine material was not used in the manufacture of medicines would have been an "administrative nightmare," writes the report.

 Indiana University Studies Drug Which May Reduce Spread of Genital Herpes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Although genital herpes is not a life-threatening disease, some experts believe it to be a contributing factor in the spread of other potentially serious sexually transmitted diseases and may even facilitate the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Kenneth H. Fife, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine, of microbiology and immunology, and of pathology and laboratory medicine at the IU School of Medicine, along with other researchers, believes the dramatic increase in the prevalence of genital herpes is largely due to misperceptions about how the disease is transmitted.
It is believed that the mechanism of action of Valtrex has an impact on the replication of the virus and when used as suppressive therapy may have an impact on the transmission of the disease.
