Beyond Occupational Health: 50 Things You Might Not Have Known About Bernardino Ramazzini. E-book. Formato PDF Giuliano Franco - Youcanprint, 2021 -
As a scholar living in the second half of the seventeenth century, Bernardino Ramazzini explored artisan shops to identify health threats and began an innovative path for a doctor. In 50 pieces, this work focuses on aspects mainly outside the area of medical interest. It examines an unknown or lesser-known Ramazzini, highlighting his positions often outside the current political correctness boundary. Along with an irresistible plea to comply measures that people do not fully follow even today, his works offer a merciful view of the time's injustices and envision some original findings outside the realm of medicine. Profound unconventionality always animates his work, which results in firm and witty criticisms of the time's medical practice and even ironically rude to his money-oriented colleagues.
Prevention is far better than cure. Revisiting the past to strengthen the present: the lesson of Bernardino Ramazzini (1633-1714) in public health. E-book. Formato EPUB Giuliano Franco - Youcanprint, 2020 -
Doctor at the court and academic of the Modena and Padua Universities, Bernardino Ramazzini (1633-1714) lived in the second half of the seventeenth century. Without renouncing to his vocation as a doctor, he visited the craft workshops to identify the threats to health, examined the diseases of workers and proposed a variety of preventive measures. Aware of the need to avoid extremes of all kinds, he recommended moderation in all types of behaviour. The expression «prevention is far better than cure» summarises his precept. Through the description of the context in which he lived and the analysis of his observations and proposals, the essay explores Ramazzini’s main works by revisiting his thinking in a contemporary way, highlighting the modernity of his anticipatory reflections and focusing on his visionary ideas.
