Die Urologie wird elektrisch-Elektrotherapie. Moderne Therapien zur Behandlung moderner Erkrankungen-Beispiele aus der Urologie Zusammenfassung Die Bedeutung der Elektrizität für die Medizin des modernen Industriezeitalters ist nicht zu unterschätzen. Gerade im Zusammenhang mit der Neurasthenie erlebten elektrotherapeutische Ansätze auch für den Hausgebrauch eine Konjunktur. So erreichte die Elektrotherapie auch die sich gerade als medizinische Spezialität etablierende Urologie. Anhand ausgewählter Lehr-und Handbuchbeiträge sowie Objekten im W. P. Didusch Center for Urologic History und dem Museum zur Geschichte der Urologie, Berlin-Düsseldorf, wird der wechselnde Indikationsrahmen der Elektrotherapie in der Urologie nachgezeichnet sowie der phasische Verlauf von Bedeutungszu-und abnahmen geschildert. Schlüsselwörter Neurasthenie • Urologie • Sexualmedizin • Geschichte der Urologie • Elektromedizin Urology goes electric-electrotherapy. Modern therapies in the treatment of modern diseases-examples from urology Abstract The significance of electricity for medicine in the modern industrial age should not be underestimated. Particularly in connection with neurasthenia, electrotherapeutic approaches also experienced a boom for domestic use. Thus, electrotherapy reached urology just as it was becoming established as a medical specialty. We analyzed urological manuals and textbooks and objects in the W. P. Didusch Center for Urologic History and the Museum zur Geschichte der Urologie in Berlin to present the wide range of indications for electrotherapy in the emerging field of urology from impotence to urethral strictures and try to highlight the variability of their importance over time.
Regardless of their increasing relevance in contemporary social discourse, binding definitions for crucial concepts such as health and illness are either continuously contested or absent altogether. This paper highlights central concepts of health and illness in the 20th century in order to argue that the ascription of health or illness is subject to constant change. Health and illness are thus historically and culturally complex terms that are interpreted differently by each scientific discipline. They must further be considered as individual phenomena, encompassed by intersubjectively varying perceptions. In recent decades, a development from a biomedical model based on natural sciences to a holistically oriented biopsychosocial model has nonetheless emerged.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
