About pessimism regarding therapy other uses Nihilism disambiguation Therapeutic nihilism is a contention that curing people, or societies, of their ills by treatment is impossible. In medicine, it was connected to the idea that many cures do more harm than good, and that one should instead encourage the body to heal itself. Michel de Montaigne espoused this view in his Essais . This position was later popular, among other places, in France in the 1820s and 1830s, but has mostly faded away in the modern era due to the development of provably effective medicines such as antibiotics , starting with the release of Sulfonamide medicine sulfonamide in 1936. A variant of the belief is still held by people who believe in homeopathy and other forms of alternative medicine . In relation to society, it was the idea that nothing can be done to cure society of the problems facing it. It was never mainstream thought and did not grow beyond its origins in early 20th century Germany. It had no main proponent save for the novelist Joseph Conrad whose writings reflect the theory. Citation needed date February 2007 The phrase Theraputic Nihilism is also included in the modern version of the Hippocratic Oath, traditionally taken by Physicians upon graduation. The statement is I will apply for the benefit of the sick, all measures that are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and theraputic nihilism. The modern version of the Hippocratic Oath was written in 1964 by Loius Lasagna, Academic Dean of the School of Medicine at Tufts University, and used in many medical schools today.

It was invented by Dr. Kenzo Kase, a Japanese chiropractor , in the 1970s.

During the second decade after its introduction the tape was adopted by Japanese Olympic and professional athletes.

multiple issues cleanup June 2010 refimprove June 2007 wikify June 2010 File Kompressionsstr mpfe.jpg thumb Compression stockings Compression stockings and socks are specialised hosiery items designed to increase blood circulation. Their main theraputic purpose is to provide graduated pressure on the lower leg and foot to alleviate circulatory problems such as edema , phlebitis and thrombosis . Unlike traditional dress or athletic stockings and socks, compression stockings use stronger elastics to create significant pressure on the legs, ankles and feet. Compression stockings are tightest at the ankles, gradually become less constrictive towards the knees and thighs. By compressing the surface veins, arteries and muscles, the circulating blood is forced through narrower circulatory channels. As a result, the arterial pressure is increased which causes more blood to return to the heart and less blood to pool in the feet. There are two types of compression stockings Gradient and Anti embolism . br Gradient compression stockings These stockings are designed to remedy impaired Musculovenous pump performance caused by incompetent leg vein valves. They are woven in such a way that the compression level lessens towards the top of the hose. br Doctors will typically recommend these stockings for those who are prone to getting blood clots, edema, and blood pooling in the legs and feet from prolonged periods of sitting or inactivity. br They are worn by those who are ambulatory, however in some cases, they are worn by diabetics whose legs are prone to excessive swelling. Chronic Peripheral Venous Insufficiency caused by incompetent perforator veins is a classic example for prescribing such medical hosiery . This type of compression stocking is non prescriptive in many places and can be purchased at a pharmacy or medical supply store. br There are several crucial cautionary steps that need to be taken before using compression stocking br A patient s ABI Ankle Brachial Index mu ... more details
