Have you ever thought about how many progress medicine did in the last 50 years? Hi everyone, I'll try to write an article, can anybody correct all the mistakes I'll make? Have you ever thought about how many progress medicine did in the last 50 years? Generally, historians tend to describe the XXth century as the "short century" for different reasons, one of these reasons is that during all these years, doctors, scientists, byologists made so many discoveries and inventions in a brief period of time. Indeed we could divide this century into two parts. The first one which goes from the beginning of the century to 50s is a period full of researches, studies and experiments; then, during 50s, technology starts to spread. Sometimes it's hard to understand that antibiotics were born just at the biginning of the XXth century, thanks to Vincenzo Tiberio who discovered the penicillin. Furthermore nuclear magnetic resonance was born only in 1947, just seventy years ago, and it completely changed the history of medicine: it helped doctors to recognize and distinguish a migraine, cephalalgy from hematoma or aneurysm. Before this doctors practised so many craniotomies, with the result of killing a huge number of people who were suffering for headache, instead of treating the ones who had hematomas. And when was the anesthesia born? It was born at the end of the IXXth century, it was born with dentistry. Indeed, before this important date, the task of nurses was just to keep the patient motionless during a surgery operation. And what about neonatology? We are able to save and keep in life the 50% of the born prematurely who weigh only 500 grams. In conclusion I hope that a lot of discovers will be done in future in order to fight and destroy always more ilnesses that everyday afflict people.
