DISEASES AND MEDICAL TREATMENT

A medical treatment is any process by which a person recovers physical or mental health, through what is considered a direct intervention of proven scientific methods through experiments that have taken a long time, contributions and effort from scientists from all over the world.

Typology is distinguished from both scientific medicine, which treats disease with specific remedies developed through observation and research, as well as from prescientific medicine, which fights disease with traditional knowledge, such as the use of certain plants and herbs, and is often practiced by people who have a certain medical authority. Although they used scientific remedies, these cures are considered to be carried out and specified through oral methods, vaccination, topical, invasive, surgical and others.

According to scientific medicine, conceived in a rigid way, all disease—even mental illnesses—is the result of a physiological disorder; According to this scheme, speculation is not credible. At the opposite extreme, the practitioners of the healer believe that the origin of all disease lies in a disorder of the mind or of the spirit, for which only they know the remedy. Two very different manifestations of this second attitude are observed in Christian Science and in the charismatic Christian sects of curandería.

The first maintains that the origin of all evil, also physical illness, lies in the ignorance that the mind has of authentic reality, supernatural powers supposedly responsible for the disease and its cure. Pure natural sciences are usually divided into physical and chemical sciences, and life and earth sciences. The main branches of the first group are physics, astronomy and chemistry, which in turn can be subdivided into fields such as mechanics or cosmology. Among the life sciences are botany and zoology; Some subdivisions of these sciences are physiology, anatomy or microbiology. Geology is a branch of the Earth Sciences.

However, all classifications of the pure sciences are arbitrary. In the formulations of general scientific laws, links between the different sciences are recognized. These relationships are considered to be responsible for much of the current progress in the application of various types of non-specific treatments to only a specialized research field, such as molecular biology and genetics. Several interdisciplinary sciences have emerged, such as biochemistry, biophysics, biomathematics or bioengineering, in which vital processes are explained from physical-chemical principles.

ORIGIN AND THEORY OF MEDICINE AND NURSING

The knowledge of prehistoric medical practice comes from paleopathology, or study of the pictographs that showed the medical techniques, of the skulls and skeletons, as well as the surgical instruments of ancient societies and non-technological contemporary. Despite the fact that this study concerns anthropology, some of these practices have survived until modern times, which justifies their consideration in the history of medicine. Serious illnesses were of special interest to primitive men even though they could not treat them. They divided the genesis of the disease into two categories, each with a variety of therapies that were mutually exclusive. The first and most numerous were the processes attributed to the influence of malevolent demons, to whom the projection of an alien spirit, a stone or a worm within the body of the trusting patient was attributed. These diseases had to be tackled through spells, dances, sacrifices, spells, talismans and other measures. If in the e...

BRANCHES OF MEDICINE

Medicine, throughout its long history, has experienced a constant evolution, dividing into various specialized branches to offer comprehensive and quality medical care to patients. This specialization process has been driven by scientific and technological advances that have allowed a greater knowledge of the human body and the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools. BASIC BRANCHES OF MEDICINE: The basic branches of medicine lay the foundations for the study and practice of medical specialties. Among them we find: * Anatomy:** Study the structure of the human body and its relationships. * Physiology:** Investigates the functioning of the organs and systems of the human body. * Biochemistry:** Analyze the chemical processes that occur in living beings. * PATHOLOGY:** Study the causes, mechanisms and effects of diseases. * Pharmacology:** It is responsible for the study of medicines, their action in the body and their therapeutic applications.

INTERNAL MEDICINE

The field of medicine is divided into various branches and specialties, each with a specific focus and objectives. Among the most important are **internal medicine** and **external medicine**, two areas that, despite sharing the same final objective of preserving the patient's health, differ in their methodology and scope. **Internal Medicine: Deepening complexity** Internal medicine focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases that affect **adults**. Unlike general medicine, which offers comprehensive primary and preventive care, internal medicine specializes in **complex and chronic pathologies**, which often require a multidisciplinary approach. Internist doctors have extensive training in **physiopathology, clinical diagnosis and management of systemic diseases**. Their work is carried out mainly in hospital settings, where they have the opportunity to evaluate and treat patients with conditions that cover a wide range of specialties, such as: * Car...
