About the Auther
This encyclopedic work is directed at all who wish to pursue a research career in science and technology, including the medical sciences. Importantly, both career researchers and those who wish to devote only a few years in research will find the information provided invaluable. Postgraduates in science and technology, including MDs, and PhDs who wish to pursue research in the medical sciences must have a reference source that provides core knowledge in medicine, particularly diagnostic techniques and management strategies, with research implications. The text provides this information.
It is relevant to state that often major discoveries are made by those who pursue only a few years in research and innovations may be made by simple thought processes. A prime example is the one revealed by Reverend Hales, the father of hemodynamic medicine. During his studies in theology at Cambridge he was fortunate to do mathe¬matics and science and had conversations with a medical student. In 1733, after many years in his ministry, at Teddington outside London he found the time for the study of circulation. Figure 1 in the chapter on Blood Pressure shows Hales observing the blood pressure in a horse, and he is credited to be the first to demonstrate measurement of blood pressure.
