In one sense the only human beings who are free from pigment are the ALBINOS, so that every human being should have a certain minimum of pigmentation in his body. This is found where melanin formation is active i.e. in the epidermis (not dermis), the uveal tract, meninges and arachnoid and in the intestinal endothelium. 1959-01-01T00:00:00Z Guiding principles for the management of St. Luke's hospital https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/43081 2020-05-19T17:09:29Z 1959-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Guiding principles for the management of St. Luke's hospital Abstract: The Council of Nicea declared compulsory the opening of hospitals as a Christian duty (1). Christ was called "iatros" because he healed the sick. The Saints followed in Christ's footsteps. Nineteen centuries ago Paul the Apostle was shipwrecked at Malta, and healed the aged father of Publius. This event has been recorded in the Acts of the Apostles by Luke the Evangelist, who had studied medicine and was with Paul at Malta. To Luke is dedicated Malta's main hospital. 1959-01-01T00:00:00Z The influence of the nervous system on the endocrine glands https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/43017 2019-05-11T03:28:01Z 1959-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: The influence of the nervous system on the endocrine glands Abstract: The human body is a marvelous living example of a philosophical entity - all parts for the whore and, the whole for the parts. This extreme integration of bodily functions, which becomes more prominent the upper we go the evolutionary scale is brought about by two mechanisms: the nervous system and the endocrine glands and their hormones. As such it is but natural for us to inquire into the relation that exists between these two intricate mechanisms. 1959-01-01T00:00:00Z The influence of bacteriology and parasitology on civilisation https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/43016 2022-02-18T14:42:51Z 1959-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: The influence of bacteriology and parasitology on civilisation Abstract: The study of history and of the rise and fall of civilisations is simple enough if one limits himself to a mere chronicle of occurrences, but as soon as one attempts to detect and trace any specific factor which has initiated events and determined their cause, then unless one is on his guard, one may be opening the door to the personal factor, inseparable from judgement, and possibly to a multitude of errors. 1959-01-01T00:00:00Z
