TAILIEUCHUNG - Chapter 001. The Practice of Medicine

1950 The practice of medicine has changed in significant ways since the first edition of this book appeared in 1950. The advent of molecular biology with its enormous implications for the biological sciences (the sequencing of the human genome), sophisticated new imaging techniques, and advances in bioinformatics and information technology have contributed to an explosion of scientific information that has fundamentally changed the way we define, diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. This explosion of scientific knowledge is not at all static as it continues to intensify with time. . | Chapter 001. The Practice of Medicine 1950 The practice of medicine has changed in significant ways since the first edition of this book appeared in 1950. The advent of molecular biology with its enormous implications for the biological sciences the sequencing of the human genome sophisticated new imaging techniques and advances in bioinformatics and information technology have contributed to an explosion of scientific information that has fundamentally changed the way we define diagnose treat and prevent disease. This explosion of scientific knowledge is not at all static as it continues to intensify with time. The widespread use of electronic medical records and the Internet have altered the way we practice medicine and exchange information. As today s physician struggles to integrate the copious amounts of scientific knowledge into everyday practice it is important to remember that the ultimate goal of medicine is to treat the patient. Despite more than 50 years of scientific advances since the first edition of this text it is critical to underscore that cultivating the intimate relationship that exists between physician and patient still lies at the heart of successful patient care. The Science and ART of MedicineScience-based technology and deductive reasoning form the foundation for the solution to many clinical problems. Spectacular advances in biochemistry cell biology and genomics coupled with newly developed imaging techniques allow access to the innermost parts of the cell and provide a window to the most remote recesses of the body. Revelations about the nature of genes and single cells have opened the portal for formulating a new molecular basis for the physiology of systems. Increasingly we are understanding how subtle changes in many different genes can affect the function of cells and organisms. We are beginning to decipher the complex mechanisms by which genes are regulated. We have developed a new appreciation of the role of stem cells in normal .
