近日偶然翻看一些外文资料,看到美国科学家Don E. Weitkamp Ph D写的一篇文章(类似综述),里面较详细阐明了按照国际惯例和气泡病的特征,气泡病应该命名为“疾病”而不是“损伤”的详细理由。Don E. Weitkamp Ph D 潜心系统研究气泡病30多年,可以称为名副其实的专家,我们国内的专家在气泡病方面与其相比,连幼儿园的水平也不够了,所以也不要一知半解的弄巧成拙了,重要的是不要误导大众,我们还是老老实实的叫气泡病吧。我拷贝一段,大家如果有兴趣,可以看看。
Gas Bubble Disease v Gas Bubble Trauma
According to the conventi o n s f o r biological nomenclature there are several tenants that are applicable to determining the appropriate word for this malady, “disease” or “trauma”. Biological terminology generally follows two applicable tenants:
The more technically appropriate word or term applies where there is a clear distinction
among the alternatives.
Historic precedence applies in the absence of a clear technical preference (use the word or term historically first applied).
Thus, the term “disease” is more appropriate than “trauma” for the following reasons.
1. Definiti ons of t he words “disease”and “trauma”in medical dictionaries are ambiguous and
overlapping. The following are several examples
Blacks Medical Dictionary
Disease: Any abnormality of bodily structure or function, other than those arising directly from
physical injury.
Trauma: The term used to indicate disorders due to wounds or injuries.
Dorlin‟s Illustrated Medical Dictionary
Disease: Any deviation from or interruption of the normal structure or function of any part,
organ, or system (or combination thereof) of the body that is manifested by a
characteristic set of symptoms and signs and whose etiology, pathology, and prognosis
may be known or unknown.
Trauma: A wound or injury, whether physical or psychic.
Stedman‟s Medical Dictionary
Disease: 1. An interruption, cessation, or disorder of body functions, systems, or organs. SYN
illness, morbus, sickness.
2. A morbid entity characterized usually by at least two of these criteria: recognized etiologic agent(s), identifiable group of signs and symptoms, or consistent anatomical alterations.
3. Literally, dis-ease, the opposite of ease, when something is wrong with a bodily function.
Trauma: 1. Physical injury to an infant during its delivery:
2. The supposed emotional injury,
inflicted by events incident to birth, upon an infant which allegedly appears in symdelic
form in patients with mental illness.
2. The word “disease”has clear historical precedence. The malady produced in fish by total dissolved
gas (TDG) supersaturation was identified for many years by the term “gas bubble disease”. Early in the 1900s Gorham (1901)
1
first identified the malady as gas-bubble disease in the title of his publication.
The word trauma does not appear to have been used until the mid-1980s when it was used in a peer
reviewed publication by Alderdice and Jensen (1985), who expressed preference for trauma because
pathogens are not primarily involved. Jensen et al. (1986) attributed use of trauma to an earlier report by
Fidler (1984). As indicated by the definitions of “disease”, the term does not necessarily imply that
pathogens are involved. |
