商品描述

It is generally known that the most important medical contributions to the world have been made by scientists from the UK, Northern Europe, America, and Italy. Nevertheless, Spain has produced lesser-known but significant medical contributions to the global community, often by scientists working almost alone (like Ramón y Cajal), in small groups, or primarily in foreign institutions. This book aims to provide readers, both specialists and the general public, with a selected group of contributions made by these scientists to the world medical community. It will depict fascinating stories from the old Islamic-Jewish times and the Renaissance, intertwined with religious Counter-Reformation idealism, as well as the organization of marine expeditions to bring newly discovered vaccines to the world.

Moreover, we will describe the establishment of surgical schools in Spain, the discovery of anatomical structures, the invention of laryngoscopy in opera singers in Paris, and the beginnings of vascular surgery. In more recent times, we will continue with the pioneering discoveries in neuroscience by Ramón y Cajal and his school, the discoveries of enzymes by Ochoa's school, which are important for the synthesis of RNA and DNA, worldwide known cardiologists, and the work of Oró in understanding the origin of life, concluding with current studies on genetics and cellular aging. Additionally, the Spanish Surgical Society has recently contributed to the development of one of the best-organized transplantation systems in the world and has taught the New Minimally Invasive Surgery abroad. This book is both enjoyable and instructive. The target group will be really very large.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一般來說，世界上最重要的醫學貢獻主要來自英國、北歐、美國和義大利的科學家。然而，西班牙也產生了一些不太為人所知但對全球社會具有重要意義的醫學貢獻，這些貢獻往往是由幾乎獨自工作的科學家（如拉蒙·卡哈 Ramón y Cajal）、小團體或主要在外國機構工作的科學家所做的。本書旨在向專家和一般讀者介紹這些科學家對世界醫學界所做的選定貢獻。書中將描繪出迷人的故事，涵蓋古代伊斯蘭-猶太時期和文藝復興時期，交織著宗教反宗教改革的理想主義，以及組織海洋探險以將新發現的疫苗帶給世界的過程。

此外，我們將描述西班牙外科學校的建立、解剖結構的發現、在巴黎歌劇歌手中發明的喉鏡檢查法，以及血管外科的起源。在較近的時期，我們將繼續介紹拉蒙·卡哈及其學派在神經科學方面的開創性發現、奧喬亞（Ochoa）學派對於RNA和DNA合成重要的酶的發現、全球知名的心臟病學家，以及奧羅（Oró）在理解生命起源方面的工作，最後以當前對遺傳學和細胞老化的研究作結。此外，西班牙外科學會最近對世界上最有組織的移植系統之一的發展做出了貢獻，並在國外教授新型微創手術。本書既有趣又具啟發性，目標讀者群將非常廣泛。
