From generation to degeneration. The health-disease link in Galen's corpus

2017

Through a reading of some significant passages a reconstruction is made of the main features of Galen’s rich reflection on the themes of health and disease, with particular attention to two aspects. On one side, there is an analysis of the limits within which disease is seen, in the Galenic corpus, as ‘degeneration’ in relation to a ‘natural’ state. On the other side, there is an investigation of whether, and to what extent, the physician from Pergamon accepts the idea, partly already present in Hippocrates, of the existence of diseases that, with a modern term, we would define as ‘genetic’. The marginality that this aspect seems to present – at least in theoretical works devoted to embryol…

Difendere la salute. Igiene e disciplina del soggetto nel De sanitate tuenda di Galeno

2008

Imponente summa di una riflessione sulla salute e sui modi per tutelarla già avviata in alcuni scritti del Corpus Hippocraticum (Regime e Antica medicina), il trattato di "Igiene" di Galeno presenta al tempo stesso caratteri profondamente innovativi rispetto ai testi sulla dietetica dei sani di epoche precedenti, e sviluppa una teoria della salute che per ampiezza e spessore concettuale non ha confronti nel mondo antico. Incentrando l'analisi storico-filologica sul trattato di "Igiene" e sul "Trasibulo", ma con uno sguardo complessivamente rivolto all'intera opera di Galeno, il libro ricostruisce l'ideologia galenica della salute, mettendone in luce i legami con la tradizione medica e filos…

High Resolution CT Angiography in Detection of an Aneurysm of the Vein of Galen as a Source of Intracranial Haemorrhage in a Newborn.

2011

Cerebral haemorrhage is a rare condition in infants and carries a known poor prognosis. Common causes of spontaneous haemorrhage include various vascular venous lesions due to incomplete hydrovenous maturation, among them Galen vein aneurysm may be a very rare cause of cerebral haemorrhage. This report emphasizes the role of multidector CT with high resolution CT angiography in a newborn with cerebral hemorrhage caused by Galen vein aneurysm rupture. MDCT with high resolution CT angiography helps to differentiate the cause of haemorrhage, and to address the appropriate treatment.

Zwischen Interpretation und wissenschaftlicher Polemik. Traum und Traumbild im Werk des Arztes Galen

2016

The essay, after an overview of the theories of the dream expressed in medical texts and philosophical reflection in the Greek world, analyzes the references to the dream present in the Galenic corpus, with specific reference to the presence of this motif in the context of polemics with exponents of other medical schools. Hence on one side it is possible find Galen taking up a typically Platonic metaphorical use of onar and oneirottein to indicate, pejoratively, confused thought not founded on logos. On the other side, some passages in the corpus polemize – in the strict sense of the word – with incorrect use of the dream by physicians who were adversaries, Empirics and Methodics above all.…

Galeno, La salute (De sanitate tuenda - Libro I), a cura di Sabrina Grimaudo

2012

Libro introduttivo al De sanitate tuenda, il testo qui presentato è il concentrato delle teorie della salute che hanno dominato per più di mille anni in campo medico. Il trattato sull'Igiene di Galeno rappresenta la monumentale conclusione di una riflessione sulla salute e sui mezzi per tutelarla che, avviata in alcuni scritti del Corpus Hippocraticum, non aveva mai cessato, nel mondo greco, di suscitare l'interesse di medici e filosofi, riaffermando la vocazione di tutta l'igiene antica a configurarsi, assai più che non l'igiene modernamente intesa, come una complessiva "arte del vivere".
