SUMMARY:Thinking with Disease (and Tuberculosis): Disease as Malfunction o
 f the Parts from the Premodern World to Modern Pathology

DESCRIPTION:Part of the Reynolds-Finley Lecture Series\, hosted by UAB Lib
 raries Historical Collections in partnership with the Birmingham Public L
 ibrary Department of Archives and Manuscripts\n\nModern conceptions of di
 sease often depend on concepts of causal mechanisms\, loss of function\, 
 anatomical lesions\, or\, especially recently\, statistical deviations an
 d risk factors. Everyone seems to know that medieval medicine (Latin and 
 Arabic) and early modern European medicine was something else\, and cente
 red on a general imbalance of bodily “humors” such as blood\, phlegm\, ye
 llow bile\, and black bile. This talk demonstrates the deep roots of anat
 omical thinking with disease in ancient sources\, which often seated dise
 ases in the parts. The Roman anatomist and physician Galen developed an i
 nfluential pathology centered on conditions of the body that impaired the
  function of its parts. This model persisted into the early modern period
 \, and mutually reinforced the spread of pathological dissections in the 
 1500s and 1600s in Europe. By the 1600s\, many medical schools in Europea
 n universities elevated revealing the states and causes of diseases in po
 st-mortem dissections to the pinnacle of pathological knowledge. They joi
 ned this study of diseased parts to regular clinical teaching in hospital
 s\, alongside chemistry and medicinal botany. By 1800\, the long traditio
 ns and practices of anatomical-clinical medicine served as the foundation
  of thinking with disease in Parisian modern hospital medicine. Trac\n\nh
