- W831821601 abstract "Traditionally man's knowledge of disease has advanced on three fronts. First, and most obviously there has been the clinical approach by which the physician's examination of a sick person leads him to conclusions or at least assumptions about the pathological process responsible far the symptoms of which the patient complains and the signs which the physician's clinical examination elicits. The clinical method is, of course, aided by numerous technical and laboratory investigations such as the x-ray, the estimation of blood and other levels of various metabolites. Some of these aids to clinical investigations have reached a technically very high level of sophistication. The second approach to understanding the forces of disease relates to the post-mortem examination of the dead individual in an attempt to correlate the pathological changes, either macroscopic or microscopic discerned at post-mortem examination with the observed ante-mortem clinical picture. Lastly, the epidemiological approach, which, as the name applies, originally concerned itself with the study of epidemic diseases, differs from the two previous approaches in that it is concerned not with disease or clinical symptoms in an individual patient but rather with observations on the mass aspects of diseases within whole populations and observing either naturally or by serendiptous experimental means, the factors influencing the distribution of various diseases. An example of one of the most important in the whole of medicine would be the decline in mortality from pulmonary tuberculosis throughout the latter half of the nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth century long before effective drugs were evolved to deal with the condition. The general interpretation of this decline lays it at the feet of a coincident improvement in socio-economic, particularly nutritional, circumstances during the same time period." @default.
