His majesty's subjects: from laboratory to human experiment in pneumatic chemistry.
نویسنده
چکیده
Experiments in pneumatic chemistry paved the way for medical innovation in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. Thomas Beddoes and James Watt were instrumental in the spread of the use of new gas chemistry in pneumatic therapy, but they were far from alone. There was no shortage of experimental subjects, as the practice was quickly taken up by medics throughout Britain.

History of Chemistry and the Education of Teachers
Early in my teaching career I became convinced that history has value in causing the student to look at chemistry in a realistic fashion. But, like classroom demonstrations, history should fulfill a teaching objective and not be used merely as entertainment. Further, history is made by human beings and lends a human interest which is lacking when only the facts of chemistry are expounded (1). M...
متن کاملThe evolution of anaesthesia. 4. Pneumatic medicine.
ALTHOUGH none of the work done by the eighteenth-century scientists forms a direct link with anaesthesia, yet knowledge of any kind is bound to influence the future. The discovery of gases in the second half of the century was not only of profound consequence to chemistry, but also to medicine and the world. In order to understand how the discovery of anaesthesia is placed in history, it is nec...
متن کاملComparison of kinetic study and protective effects of biological dipeptide and two porphyrin derivatives against metal cytotoxicity in human lymphocytes
In this research, dipeptide (his-β-alanine) and porphyrin derivatives were choosen for comparing chelating ability of toxic metals such as Al3+, Cu2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ in vitro. The reason for choosing these two compounds is that both of them are naturally present in biological systems and comparison of chelating ability of these two compounds has not yet been done. Synthesis and comparison of kin...
