• andreas vesalius Essay

  ...Andreas Vesalius The Flemish physician Andreas Veslius is widely considered to be the founder of the modern science of anatomy. He was a major figure of the Scientific Revolution. Vesalius’ book “De Humani Commis Fabrica” (On the Structure of the Human Body) is one of the most important works about human anatomy.
 Early Life and Education: Born in Brussels, Belgium in a family of physicians and pharmacists, Andreas Vesalius’s father was court apothecary to Charles V of Spain, the Holy Roman Emperor. Vesalius learned medicine from the University of Louvain and the University of Paris. He later obtained his medical degree from the University of Padua in 1537. After his graduation, Vesalius became very interested in anatomy. Contributions and Achievements: During that time, scholars thought that the work of the ancient Greek physician Galen was an authority when it came to human anatomy. As Greek and Roman laws had disallowed the dissection of human beings, Galen had evidently reasoned out analogies related to human anatomy after studying pigs and apes. Vesalius knew that it was absolutely essential to analyze real corpses to study the human body. Vesalius resurrected the use of human dissection, regardless of the strict ban by the Catholic Church. He soon began to realize that Galen’s work was an evalution of the dissection of animals, not human beings. Vesalius once demonstrated that men and women have the same number...

• The Andrea Yates Story Essay

  ...The Andrea Yates Story Depression is a mental state characterized by a pessimistic sense of inadequacy and a despondent lack of activity. One may also describe depression as an illness that involves the body, mood, and thoughts. Depression affects the way a person eats, sleeps, feelings about oneself, and the way one thinks about different subjects. Signs and symptoms of depression are; loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable, loss of appetite with weight loss or overeating with weight gain, loss of emotional expression, sad, anxious, and empty mood, feelings of hopelessness, and many more. Psychosis is a loss of contact with reality; usually including false ideas about what is taking place, or who one is, and seeing or hearing things that are not there. Causes of psychosis are alcohol and certain drugs, brain tumors, epilepsy, manic depression, stroke, and schizophrenia. Signs and symptoms of psychosis are confusion, unfounded fear/ suspicion, loss of touch with reality, false beliefs, depression and suicidal thoughts at times. Treatment for psychosis depends on the cause. Care in a hospital is often needed to ensure the patient’s safety. Also, antipsychotic drugs; which reduce “hearing voices”, delusions, control thinking and behavior, are helpful. Group therapy can also be useful in treatment. Andrea Yates and her husband Rusty were devout Christians. The couple had five children. Andrea suffered...

• Andreas Vesalius Essay

  ...Andreas Vesalius I. Biography Andreas Vesalius was born on Dec. 31, 1514, in Brussels, the son of Andries van Wesele and his wife, Isabel Crabbe. Vesalius's paternal ancestors, who hailed from the German town of Wesel, came to Brussels in the early 15th century and became prominent as physicians and pharmacists. His father served as pharmacist to Margaret of Austria and later to Emperor Charles V. His great-grandfather, Johannes Wesalia, was the head of the medical school at the University of Louvain, where Vesalius started his medical studies in 1530. He matriculated as Andres van Wesel de Bruxella. In 1533 Vesalius transferred to the medical school of the University of Paris. One of his two teachers of anatomy there was Johann Guenther von Andernach, a personable man but a poor anatomist. The other was Jacobus Sylvius, who departed from tradition by giving some role to dissecting in anatomical instructions. Both teachers gave in their own ways a telling testimony of their student's anatomical expertise. Guenther, in a book published in 1536, recorded in glowing terms Vesalius's discovery of the spermatic vessels. Sylvius, however, decried violently Vesalius's daring claim that Galen, the great authority in physiology since classical times, wrote on the inner organs of the body without ever seeing them. Because of the outbreak of war between France and Charles V, Vesalius, a citizen of the Low Countries, which were a part of the Holy...

• Andrea Palladio Comes to America Essay

  ...Andrea Palladio was an influential architect during the Late Renaissance and the Baroque period. He was a dominant figure in this field, not only of his lifetime, not just in the lifetime of those who knew him, but now – 400 years later (Source 2). Palladio’s architecture was based on symmetry, perspective, and proportions. His architectural style became known as Palladianism. Palladian Architecture is seen through out America today. Thomas Jefferson appreciated the architectural concepts of Palladio, and his designs for The Rotunda at the University of Virginia, Monticello Estate, the James Barbour Barboursville estate, and the University of Virginia, were based on drawings from Palladio’s book. Other modern-day American architecture influenced by Andrea Palladio are the Hammond-Harwood House and Drayton Hall. Palladianism can be described as Palladio’s interpretation of classical architecture. It began in the 17th century and developed until the end of the 18th century. Palladianism was popular in Britain for a short period and when it began to fall out of favor in Europe it became popular in North America, prominently in buildings designed by Thomas Jefferson. The style continued to be popular through the 19th and early 20th centuries in Europe, where it frequently employed in the design of public and municipal buildings. From the latter half of the 19th century it was rivaled by the Gothic Revival, whose champions, such as Augustus Pugin,...

She was a remarkable student and ended up being her class valedictorian at Milby High School in Houston. She went to college at the University of Huston for nursing and continued her education at the University of Texas, School of Nursing; she graduated in 1986. In 1993, she married Rusty Yates, a devout follower of Michael Peter Woroniecki’s teachings which communicated that if a mother didn’t bring her children up correctly, she and her children were doomed to hell. Andrea, convinced he was right, later referenced some of Pastor Woroniecki’s teachings in court. The fertile couple had four sons over the period between 1994 and 1999. In 1999, Andrea attempted suicide twice before she was treated for her post-partum depression which was already provoked by her present mental imbalance, the family’s overcrowded living conditions, and Andrea’s refusal to take her medication.

• The Life of Andrea Pia Yates Essay

  ...Andrea Pia Yates Paper Andrea Pia Yates (born July 2, 1964) committed the filicide of her five young children on June 20, 2001 by drowning them in the bathtub in her home. Convicted of first degree murder in 2002 and sentenced to life in prison with parole possible after 40 years, Yates' conviction was later overturned on appeal. On July 26, 2006, a Texas jury ruled Yates to be not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI). She was consequently committed by the court to the North Texas State Hospital, Typically, a woman has a believably tragic story to go along with her deed, although some like Mary Beth Tinning, Susan Smith, and Marie Noe turned out to have killed for reasons other than their initial excuses. Thus, excuses become suspicious. And sometimes an act is so overwhelming that no mental condition seems to count as a reasonable explanation. However, although juries tend to punish the killing of strangers harshly, they often are more lenient with mothers as it is evident in this particular case.   It appears that juries have a difficult time in America sending a mother to lethal injection or the electric chair. While postpartum depression occurs in up to twenty percent of women who have children, psychotic manifestations are much rarer, and thus much less understood.   Only one in five hundred births result in the mother's postpartum psychosis, says forensic psychiatrist Michael Welner (Ramsland).   A psychiatric examination was ordered...
