Scandinavian scientific learning in Eighteenth-Century British Writing: Linnaeus and the European outlook on nature
No full textIn the eighteenth century, a widely investigated – and even fashionable – field of knowledge is natural history, a macro-domain including a vast number of disciplines and sub-disciplines. Most of these are emerging disciplines not because they are completely new, but because the research perspective adopted (i.e., the way they are investigated and discussed) is extremely innovative. On the one hand, cognate disciplines such as materia medica, diaetetica, agriculture, gardening, botany, etc. – considered as ‘part of’ and ‘dependent on’ the more prestigious and encompassing domains of
medicine and natural history – establish themselves as autonomous disciplines with their own epistemological principles and values. On the other hand, new disciplinary communities originate and consolidate in an ideal ‘commonwealth of learning’. One of the branches which best represents the ‘commonwealth of learning’ and its civil and utilitarian issues is botany. On botanical knowledge are based most of the eighteenth-century commercial interests and principles regulating global and colonial trade; moreover, it is considered the main source of individual wealth, national welfare and
cultural renown. As a consequence, botany acts as a bridge towards other disciplines, other settings, other peoples, other countries, other traditions and, ultimately, other knowledge(s). In the present study, the focus is on the contribution made by such Swedish scholars as Carl Linnaeus and Fredrik Hasselquist to the elaboration of modern botany, both at a theoretical and at a practical level
“I come like an Heir to a large Patrimony”: the representation of antiquity in 18th-c. British dictionaries of arts and sciences
No full textEighteenth-century British dictionaries of arts and sciences, as an emerging genre which draws its features from lexicographic works arranged in alphabetical order and the tradition of commonplace books (Yeo 2001: 102-103) among others, aim to disseminate and make knowledge/s available to a large and curious educated readership. Their general aim was to represent modernity -- as their present or recent past -- as it was perceived at the time, and make it known to the people. However, modernity and progress were not presented to the public in a vacuum, even though they were the focus of these reference works. Ancient times and, in particular, antiquity -- as history, habits, cultural issues, heritage, etc. -- were also included as the foundation of contemporary society, for many different aspects. In this perspective, the aim of this study is to investigate the notion and the representation of the distant past as it emerges from those words and contents labelled as antiquity
Clinical management of renovascular hypertension : practical recommendations from the Italian Society of Hypertension (SIIA)
No full textRenovascular hypertension (RVH) is one of the most frequent forms of secondary hypertension but this diagnosis is often missed because of insufficient care taken in collecting patient's history and clinical signs. Herein we summarize the clinical, instrumental and laboratory clues which should raise the suspicion of RVH. In addition we briefly discuss the available evidence in favour and against the revascularization therapy and, at the light of the uncertain benefit of this procedure, the alternative approach with pharmacological treatment
Renal angioplasty for treatment of hypertensive patients with fibromuscular dysplasia : no country for old men
No full textAre the antagonists of the renin-angiotensin system also anticancer agents?
No full texthe antagonists of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) have gained increasing popularity in the last two decades due to their indisputable efficacy in a number of cardiovascular disorders, coupled with an unsurpassed tolerability. However some years ago a partial and non-predefined meta-analysis raised the possibility that angiotensin receptor antagonists in particular may increase the incidence of cancer. This observation, although not confirmed by subsequent, larger analyses, caused a remarkable and understandable concern even outside the medical community. Herein we will summarize the available evidence pro and con the hypothesis of a carcinogenetic activity of RAS antagonists coming to the conclusion that these drugs may actually exert an anticancer action
