Armed with razor-sharp teeth and capable of drinking many times its volume of blood, the leech is an unlikely cure for ill health. Yet that is exactly the role this worm-like parasite has played in both Western and Eastern medicine throughout history. In this book, Robert G. W. Kirk and Neil Pemberton explore how the leech surfaces in radically different spheres. The ancients used them in humeral medicine to bring the four humors of the body—blood, phlegm, and black and yellow bile—back into balance. Today, leeches are used in plastic and reconstructive surgery to help reattach severed limbs and remove pools of blood before it kills tissue. Leeches have also been used in a nineteenth-century meteorological barometer and a twentieth-century biomedical tool that helped win a Nobel Prize. Kirk and Pemberton also reveal the dark side of leeches as they are portrayed in fiction, film, and popular culture. From Bram Stoker’s Dracula to a video game player’s nemesis, the leech is used to represent the fears of science run amok. Leech shines new light on one of humanity’s most enduring and unlikely companions.

Wounds are a major clinical challenge very frequently encountered by us in our clinical practice.The normal pattern of healing is not uniformly present as a rule under different conditions of wounds.Certain general and local factors influence the sequence of normal process of healing.Now it is revealed that in all kinds of non healing wounds micro vascular angiopathy is one of the major factors for hypoxic condition, leading to non-healing. Many new devices & techniques are evolved for this purpose, but the efficacy in rectifying tiny micro vascular thrombus is still a matter of discussion. So, keeping these points in mind a study was done on leech application in the management of non healing ulcers according to the principals of Ayurveda and Modern Medicine, and clinical assessment and histobiochemical studies were evaluated. It was found that leech application improves the hypoxic condition, providing a moist environment for wound healing, and that it helps in slough debridement in non healing ulcers. This book provides a new insight on wound healing; furthermore, it opens a new horizon of clinical research for health professionals.

This collection shows the influence of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists on Leech's work.

Born in Dublin in 1881, William John Leech considered himself an Irish painter although most of his career was spent abroad. He completed his training at the Academie Julian in Paris and painted in Brittany from 1903. While his early interior views and portraits reflect the tonal influence of Whistler, about 1910 he began to use a brighter, Post-impressionist palette. The later Brittany canvases are flooded with light and colour. During this period, his first wife Elizabeth Kerlin was the model in a number of exciting and experimental works such as Convent Garden, Brittany (National Gallery of Ireland). After the First World War, Leech divided his time between London and the South of France, travelling with his companion and later wife May Botterell. In the tradition of the 'Irish Impressionists' he was fascinated by the treatment of light in French painting, though he continued to explore different styles through his career. Leech painted portraits, landscapes and still lifes, including remarkable self-portraits, interiors and luxuriant aloes. Throughout his life he regularly exhibited in Ireland and England. The majority of his paintings are still in private hands and little known. This retrospective catalogue documents his reclusive life and confirms his place as a major Irish artist.

This third novel featuring medieval physician and chemist Kathryn Swinbrooke opens just before Christmas in 1471. Snowstorms have blanketed the city of Canterbury. Kathryn and her cook Thomasina are busily preparing for the holiday, when terrible news arrives: The painter Richard Blunt has confessed to killing his young wife, along with two men who were dallying with her.Kathryn is disturbed by Blunt's serene demeanor, but before she can articulate her suspicions, another death captures her attention. A tax collector, Sir Reginald Erpingham, has been found dead in his room at the Wicker Man tavern, and the King's monies have been stolen. Kathryn quickly determines that the collector was murdered, perhaps by poison, and begins questioning the guests at the tavern.Meanwhile, there are patients to be cared for, a practice to build, and a household to maintain - but Kathryn must put aside these pleasant duties if she is to find the link between Richard Blunt and the strange events at the Wicker Man tavern.
