Full textAbstract:
This essay exemplifies a particular approach to the field of health tourism, whereby the anthropology of tourism and medical anthropology can be used in conjunction. The serious business of healing is not usually associated with the pleasures of relaxation; however, Czech spas have historically been sites of both healing and leisure for visitors. Building on the suggestion of Veijola and Jokinen (1994), the body of the tourist is made the centre of this study. The bodies of patient-tourists at Czech health spas undergo various healing regimens, and their bodies signify a negotiation of national and cultural identities. Just as Bunzl (2000) considers bodies as constituting European cultural landscapes, this essay considers the ways in which German patient bodies at Czech health spas constitute a changing national, political and cultural relationship at a 'border' of Europe.

Full textAbstract:
Rapidly developing as an applied field of natural scientific knowledge, medicine is becoming an invasive and purely technical medical activity that is no longer aimed at ensuring and maintaining normal human health, but at intervention in it in order to manage it. It has been shown that the introduction of advances in medical science and technology has contributed to a change in the structure of pathologies and to the unfolding of the phenomenon of the floating border between the norm and pathology of the human body. In the developing conditions classical object-oriented medical paradigm is no longer single and universal, and the approach to medical care delivery based on it is no longer effective. The new paradigm, which is being developed in science and social practices, allows for the subjectivisation of disease and treatment phenomena in medicine and the expansion of these phenomena from a social, ethical and anthropologi-cal perspective. The need for a subject-oriented approach that involves the patient in the treatment process is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is an exploratory study of moral anthropology focused on the local practices of global non-governmental organizations. For more than 10 years, Ruili Women and Children Development Center (the Center) in the southwest border region of China has developed itself into a non-governmental organization that adopts transnational humanitarianism and fosters a spirit of grassroots volunteer dedication. In this paper, two anthropologists’ analytic framework of morality will be examined and my own views on morality/ethics will be discussed in three aspects: morality as norms, morality as doing good, and ethics as affect. The Center came into existence in response to the decline and uncertainty of local morality (morality as norms). Under such conditions, the Center allies itself with transnational humanitarianism to provide much-needed medical care for the sick in the region (morality as doing good). In the process, the Center, mainly consisting of female members, has created a “life-environment” that is in tune with global humanitarianism and an army of devoted volunteers, especially among local HIV-infected women, who have found “ joie” in life itself (ethics as affect). This study hopes to broaden our theoretical and experiential understanding of non-governmental organizations, and of how to improve quality of life in times of social change.

Full textAbstract:
In early- to mid-twentieth century China, the tropical landscapes and indigenous peoples of southern Yunnan entered public consciousness in two different modes of representation: as a desolate and unfamiliar frontier fraught with the peril of diseases and in desperate need of environmental and social engineering; or, as a haven of fertile land with an ideal of harmonious society. In the process of making new senses of this tropical border region, anthropology played a major role as Chinese anthropologists working in this newly institutionalized discipline turned the Dai, traditionally regarded by Han people as a marginal group living within a dangerous land of zhangqi (tropical miasma), into an ethnographic subject. From Ling Chunsheng’s vision of environmental modification and medical advancement as a twofold project to engineer a new landscape and a new people, to Tian Rukang’s cultural critique that imagined the way of life of Dai people as an antidote for modernity, this article examines early Chinese anthropological discourses on the Dai people and their lived environment. I investigate how technological and epistemological changes fundamentally reshaped the meaning of tropical landscapes in China, a multi-ethnic country of a vast and diverse territory struggling to rejuvenate within a new global order, and I ponder the symbolic and material consequences of this recent history.

Full textAbstract:
Psychoactive substances are subject to law control, imposed through the system of medical prescription or legal prohibition, with legal penalties for their unauthorized use. The consumption of drugs in a non-medical contexts is often labelled as "drug abuse", and the substance used in this way as a “narcotic” - the term endowed with illegality (Goodman et al. 2017). While legal, medical and popular discourses attempt to establish the distinction between what is an illicit drug and what is a medicine by creating the presumptive ontologies of drugs, this way of approaching substances has become the object of critique within drug research associated with the ‘ontological turn’. Scholars in this field of study have destabilised the assumption of a fixed, ready-made, singular drug objects, postulating thinking about substance use as a mutable system of relations intertwined in the broader assemblages and ecologies of drug use.
In this article, by using ethnographic examples and through the analysis of research conducted within the so called “psychedelic turn” movement, I demonstrate the fluidity and multiplicity of psychoactive substances and examine diverse ways in which the dominant – Euro-American – drug categorizations are undermined. I pose the question of how the border between what is an “illicit drug” and what is a “medicine” is stabilized and destabilized through the embodied users’ practices and scientific discourses.

Full textAbstract:
Study of skulls has attracted the attention of anatomists since ages and sporadic attempts have been made to study skulls from time to time. Talking about the pterygoid processes of sphenoid bone, the irregular posterior border of lateral pterygoid plate usually presents, towards its upper part, a pterygospinous process, from which the pterygospinous ligament extends backwards and laterally to the spine of sphenoid. This ligament sometimes gets ossified as pterygospinous bar and a foramen is then formed, named pterygospinous foramen, for the passage of muscular branches of mandibular nerve. The present study was undertaken to observe the incidence and status of pterygospinous bony bridge and foramen, its variations, and clinical relevance in the adult human skulls of North India. For this purpose, 500 skulls were observed, belonging to the Anthropology Museum of Department of Anatomy, GSVM Medical College, Kanpur. Pterygospinous bars were found to be present in 51 skulls (10.2%), out of which completely ossified pterygospinous bony bridges were present in 20 skulls (4%) while 31 skulls (6.2%) had incompletely ossified pterygospinous ligaments. Such variations are of clinical significance for radiologists, neurologists, maxillofacial and dental surgeons, and anaesthetists, too.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyses the problem of implementing legislation on medical care in the army during the reign of Peter the Great and Anna Ioannovna. The Admiralty Regulations of 1722 and the General Regulations on Hospitals of 1735 announced meticulously prescribed standards for taking care of patients in military hospitals, as well as the number, qualifications and duties of medical personnel in those centers. According to scholars, both documents represent bright examples of the authorities’ faith in the possibility of resolving of crisis in the work of any institution by detailed regulation of all aspects of its activities. However, a research on conditions of service of army employees and state of military health care implies a study based on local material and functioning of certain hospitals. The author focuses on the history of medical institutions in fortresses located on the Russian-Swedish border. The study was carried out on the basis of reports received in St. Petersburg from the border fortresses and devoted to the number of sick employees in the Vyborg and Kexholm garrisons, their diseases and providing them medical care. It is revealed that the military infirmaries have been opened in Vyborg and Kexholm in the early 1720s. And the number and qualifications of the medical personnel met the requirements of the state legislation. Nevertheless, the employees of the local garrisons suffered the same hardships as military men in other north-western fortresses (St. Petersburg, Kronstadt, Riga). This is indicated by the spread of diseases typical for the northern regions and poorly victualled communities, limited in access to proper food and clean sources of water (scurvy, typhus, digestive disorders). Along with that, the region had its own specifics: despite the harsh climate, work on fortifications was carried out from early Spring. Therefore, the soldiers were often hospitalised due to frostbite and colds. From the number of employees sent to the hospital for treatment 66 % died within six months. The most vulnerable group were employees of the first and second years of service under the age of 30. However, the situation in the fortresses did not become critical and epidemics were avoided.

Full textAbstract:
Lucille Spence Byard is one of the most pivotal figures in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Her rejection for medical treatment due to her race at an Adventist sanitarium on the Maryland-Washington, D.C., border in 1943 was the major catalyst for the formation of regional conferences, or Black-administered governance units, within the North American administrative structure of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. However, almost since the day Lucy Byard was refused treatment, the major details of the event have been subject to the whim of the teller, and variant versions have become embedded in church lore. What has been particularly problematic, though, is that historians have not made the effort to explore what actually happened to Byard, which would require bypassing the entrenched legends and consulting primary sources. This article reconstructs the Byard event from primary sources, allowing the participants in the event, especially those of color, to be heard. What finally emerges is Lucy Byard the person—much more than just an icon of tragedy—whose last days sparked the most effective grassroots movement in Adventist history.

Background: The radius, also known as the radial bone, is the shorter of the two bones of the forearm. It has proximal and distal articulations with the humerus, ulna, and carpal bones. It is almost universally present,as a skeletal blueprint, in eachtetrapod’s forelimb. The detailed morphometry of radius, has not been fully explored. Specifically, the inclination of its proximal and distal articular surfaces, which can be affected in many pathologies including: fractures-dislocations, joint’s degenerations, tumors, dystrophic calcifications, and pathologic deposits.Aims and Objectives: To derive a statistical inference concerning the inclination of the proximal and distal articular surface of radius.Materials and Methods: In a sample of 30 dry specimens of human radial bone (radius), measurements were done to derive statistical inference concerning: the inclination of proximal and distal articular surfaces (P and D), length of radius (L), mid-point thickness (T), length of head of radius (HL). Materials used for measurements included: electronic Vernier, digital inclinometer, and a tape measure. The most challenging parameter to be measured, was the inclination of articular surfaces, which required multiple reference points: at the interosseous border of radius, proximal and distal ends of radius.Results: The mean values (+/- standard deviation) were: 22.23 +/- 1.89 cm (L), 1.43 +/- 0.2 cm (T), 0.95 +/- 0.135 cm (HL), 6.283 +/- 3.253 (P), and 23.77 +/- 1.874 (D). The 95% Confidence Interval was: 0.90 to 1 (HL), 5.07 to 7.50 (P), and 23.07 to 24.47 (D). Linear regression was absent between most of the studied parameters, with exception for the correlation between the inclination of the proximal articular surface and the value of (P/HL), which revealed a Correlation coefficient (r): 0.958, and the relevant p-value is < 0.00001 (significant at p< 0.01).Conclusion: This study is in line with prior studies concerning the morphometry and inclination of radial articular surfaces. It has a tremendous value in biomedical science, biomechanical applications and prosthesis synthesis, corrective surgical and orthopedic procedures, anthropology, and forensic sciences.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(5) 2016 117-123

Full textAbstract:
Opening ParagraphThis article examines the extraordinary outbreak of violent deaths which occurred among the Annang and Ibibio of eastern Nigeria in the mid-1940s and was described by the colonial police as ‘probably without parallel in the history of violent crime of any country in the world’. Between 1943 and 1948, but especially after 1945, one mutilated body after another was found in quick succession in a restricted border area shared by 130 villages in the Abak and Opobo districts of the Old Calabar Province. Over 200 such deaths were recorded in a short space of time. Initially medical officers who examined the bodies of the victims seemed to agree with the local people that the deaths were caused by genuine leopards, which were a constant menace to life in the area. The local police were preoccupied with other matters and showed little interest in deaths attributed to wild animals. But vague rumours were current, especially in missionary circles, that a ‘leopard cult’ of professional assassins might be engaged in murderous activities in the area, covering the tracks of their crime by simulating the clawmarks and ravages of wild beasts. Preliminary inquiries by local officials in 1945 appeared to confirm the suspicions and, in spite of strong doubts and protests from various quarters, a large force of police was let loose on the ‘infected’ area to suppress the murder gang and any other local organisation associated with the killings. At least 102 suspects were convicted for man-leopard murders, seventy-seven of whom were actually hanged in one of the most bizarre anti-crime campaigns of the colonial period.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of vitamin cobalamin deficiency in macrocystic anemia cases reporting at tertiary care Hospital. Study Design: Cross-sectional Place and Duration: In Medicine department of DHQ Teaching Hospital, Sargodha and DHQ Hospital, Dera Ismail Khan for the duration of six months from August 2021 to January 2022. Methods: Total 210 cases of macrocytic anemia of both genders with ages 18-62 years were presented. Age, sex, and body mass index were among the specific demographics of the enrolled cases that were documented after receiving informed written consent. Ante-cubital fossa blood was sampled for 5 mL. To estimate the amount of vitamin cobalamin using an ELISA test kit, samples were centrifuged and sera were collected. SPSS 24.0 was used to analyze all data. Results: Among 210 cases, 130 (61.9%) were males and 80 (38.1%) females in this study. 70 (33.3%) cases had ages 18-35 years, 90 (42.9%) had ages 36-50 years and 50 (23.9%) had ages >50 years. Mean BMI of the presented cases was 24.66±14.49 kg/m2. We found that 180 (85.7%) patients had deficiency of cobalamin and 30 (14.3%) cases had normal cobalamin. Among 180 cases of cobalamin deficiency, 70 (38.9%) patients were severe, border line was found in 45 (25%) cases and deficient cases were 65 (36.1%). Conclusion: We concluded in this study that patients with macrocystic anemia had higher number of vitamin cobalamin deficiency found in 85.7% cases. Majority of the patients were deficient and had severe deficiency of cobalmin. Keywords: Vitamin Cobalamin, Macrocystic Anemia, Severe Deficiency

Full textAbstract:
In the 1960s George Foster, a founding figure in medical anthropology, theorized that Indigenous communities adhered to the ‘Image of the Limited Good.” Accordingly, good things in life were limited, with the effect that one person’s good came at a cost to another. This photo essay challenges the Image of the Limited Good. I suggest that the people who spread this idea are not Indigenous but upper class and White politicians who deploy the idea of limits to bolster their racist agendas. I juxtapose the deaths of Indigenous children at the US border with the kindness my children encountered in Guatemala to illustrate how experiences are structured by racism, not limits. The essay concludes by asking what we can learn from Indigenous parents about how to replace the Image of the Limited Good with an Image of Abundance.

Full textAbstract:
On May 13th, 1807 lieutenant-general baron Friedrich Peter von Duka, the military commander in chief of the Banat, sent to the Court Council of War (Hofkriegsrat) an exhaustive demographic and economic statistic of the Banatic Military Border (the German-Banatic Regiment No. 12 with the military community in Panciova/Pančevo and the Romanian-Illyirc Regiment No. 13 with the military community in Biserica Albă/Bela Crkva). This very interesting document, preserved in Vienna at the Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv, in the archival fund Hofreisen, was meant to be used in drawing up the so-called Constitution of the Austrian Military Border as of August 7th,1807. At the same time, it served as documentation to archduke Ludwig Joseph, appointed on November 1st, 1807 as inspector general of the Austrian Military Border (till 1809) and entrusted with the implementation of the new capital law for the border regiments in Croatia, Slavonia, Srem and the Banat. The statistic of May 13th, 1807 is very elaborated, including the whole Banatic Military Border and displaying information on the human resources as well as on the economic and fiscal revenues. In regard to the demographic data, general Duka’s statistic pointed out, that in the 160 villages, two military communities and one burgh of the Banatic Military Border lived at this time 157.164 inhabitants (81.028 males and 76.136 females). The population was almost equally distributed in the two regiments and military communities. As for the social structure of the population, the overwhelming majority consisted in peasant-border soldiers. It is very significant, that in general Duka’s statistic are pointed out, on one hand, the male children up to the age of 14 and the teenagers from 15 to 17 years as potentially becoming border-soldiers, on the other hand the married/unmarried males and widowers, as well as the peasant-soldiers ready to be enlisted.A special column is dedicated to depict the agricultural resources: fields, pastures, meadows, orchards and vegetable gardens, moors and sandy grounds. In connection to these, the statistic from 1807 shows the number of domestic animals: horses (divided in six different types), oxen, cows and sheep. By a thorough analysis of all such information, connected to prior or newer statistics (e. g. from 1803 and 1808), as well as throughout the whole presentation, it needs to be pointed out that the economy in the Banatic Military Border was mainly one of subsistence, offering very few opportunities to any export of products. At the same time, at the beginning of the 19th century, the German-Banatic Regiment No. 12 surpassed in many regards the Romanian-Illyric Regiment No. 13. Evidence to such fact is illustrated by general Duka’s statistic, ascertaining that the revenues in the German-Banatic Regiment were far higher to those in the Romanian-Illiric.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: The spleen has always been a mysterious organ of seemingly occult function as well as a forbidding organ of extreme vulnerability for the surgeon. But on both fronts, it has yielded considerable ground. The spleen is the largest soft, highly vascularised, lymphatic organ located partially in the epigastrium and mainly in the left hypochondrium. Spleen acts as a lter for blood, storage of lymphocytes and platelets. Old red blood cells are recycled in the spleen. It metabolizes the haemoglobin removed from old senescent RBCs. The knowledge of morphometric variations of spleen helps clinicians, radiologist and surgeons to differentiate it from the various splenic injuries and pathologies The aim of Aims: the study is to nd the morphometric variations of spleen. The present study was done on 68 adult hum Materials and Methods: an spleens of unknown sex. The morphometric features like shape, presence of notches, length, breadth and thickness were noted. Out of 68 spleens Results: studied, ve different shapes of the spleen were observed. 32 spleens were wedge shaped (41%), 20 spleens were triangular shaped (20%), 10 spleens were tetrahedral (12.8%), 16 spleens were oval shaped (20.5%), 0 spleens were irregular shaped (0%). 26 spleens (33.33%) had notches on its superior border, 4 spleens (5.12%) had notches on its inferior border, 32 spleens (41%) had notches both in their superior and inferior borders, 16 spleens (20.51%) were found with absence of notch on either of its borders.The presence of splenic ssure on diaphragmatic surface were noted in 9 (11.53) spleens. The length of the spleen varied between 7cms to 19cms, the breadth of the spleens varied between 4cms to 12cms and the thickness of the spleens varied between 2cms to 8cms The knowledge of morphometric features Conclusion: of the spleen is of great importance to the clinicians, radiologists and surgeons for their surgical procedure
