Fundamentals of Clinical...

Ava Westwood

Clinical medicine is the foundation of healthcare, encompassing the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and medical conditions. It involves direct interaction with patients, applying medical knowledge, and using diagnostic tools to provide appropriate care. Physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals rely on clinical medicine to bridge the gap between theoretical science and real-world patient care. 
One of the primary objectives of clinical medicine is to assess and diagnose illnesses based on a combination of patient history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. This systematic approach enables healthcare providers to determine the most effective treatment options while considering patient-specific factors such as age, genetics, lifestyle, and pre-existing conditions. The process of diagnosis is both an art and a science, requiring not only medical expertise but also strong analytical and problem-solving skills. 
Treatment in clinical medicine varies depending on the condition and severity of the illness. It may involve pharmacological interventions, surgical procedures, lifestyle modifications, or a combination of these. In addition to treating diseases, clinical medicine emphasizes preventive care, aiming to reduce the risk of illness through vaccinations, screenings, and patient education. The shift toward preventive medicine has proven to be an essential strategy in reducing healthcare costs and improving overall public health.

Delhi Sultanate The: The History...

Editors Charles River

India has been the location of many different empires throughout its long history. The Indus Valley Civilization was home to one of the world’s first civilizations more than 5,000 years ago, which was followed by the Aryan-Vedic culture and then a host of other kingdoms that flourished across the Sub-Continent. India has also been the birthplace of many religions. The Vedic religion of the Aryans evolved into the Hindu religion, and Buddhism and Jainism were also born in India. By the Middle Ages, India was home to many different religions and ethnic groups, with dozens of languages being spoken, making India less of a single, unified country and more of a land of many countries. Despite India’s tradition of cultural and political pluralism, several rulers attempted to place the entire Sub-Continent under the rule of one dynasty or government with a dominant religion. Most of these would-be rulers were far from successful, although a few came close, setting the template for later conquerors.
The Delhi Sultanate was comprised of five dynasties that expanded their borders, and Islam, at sword point, but also through diplomacy and trade. The Delhi Sultanate became known as a state that welcomed the expertise of foreigners, no matter their religion, and promoted the welfare of its citizens through a host of social programs. Eventually, the Delhi Sultanate grafted ideas and inspiration from India’s pre-Islamic past with those of Islam to create a state that was quite unique and powerful. The Delhi sultans were themselves descended from Turks and brought with them ideas from Persia. Furthermore, as their empire grew, they invited scholars from throughout the Islamic world to their country, and as Muslim scholars, scientists, and administrators from the Near East made their way into India, the Delhi sultans also incorporated some of the cultural ideas of the native Hindu Indians to create a state that was as unique as any the world had ever seen.

Louisa May Alcott's Love For...

Niina Niskanen

Louisa May Alcott´s Little Women is the author´s love song for German culture and literature. In the novel, there are many moments when the characters make references to German literature, and Jo's love interest professor Bhaer is also based on Alcott's favourite writer, the German poet Goethe. When Friedrich helps Jo when she struggles writing to Weekly Volcano, we can see her influences from Goethe, Friedrich recommends Jo read Shakespeare and study characters like Goethe would have done. It is also remarkable that Alcott gives Jo a German love interest because German immigrants were widely discriminated in 19th century America, but in Concord where Alcott's resided there was a full-blown German epidemic with people rushing to buy German books and anything that came from Germany.
In the very first chapter of Little Women Jo wishes for a copy of Undine and Sintram as a Christmas present. Undine and Sintram is a collection of Scandinavian and Germanic fables written by French-German author Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué. This book appears again in the last Little Women book, Jo´s boys. Marches help the poor Hummel family who has immigrated from Germany. Beth and Marmee are especially close to them. Beth catches terrible scarlet fever, but the Marches never blame the Hummels. Epidemic diseases were rather common back then and Louisa always writes about the Hummels with great sympathy. In the chapter "Camp Lawrence" John Brooke translates a German song for Meg and reads her parts from "Mary Stuart", a play that was written by German poet and philosopher Friedrich Schiller. At Meg´s and John´s wedding, Laurie suggests that they dance as the Germans do.
