Recherches sur la région de l'ombilic et les fistules hépatiques ombilicales / par H. de Lignerolles.

2 unnumbered pages, 150 , 2 unnumbered pages ; 21 cm

Outlines of the lectures on surgery / delivered by Sir Astley Cooper, bart at St. Thomas's and Guy's Hospitals.

A compendium of medicine compiled for use by an unknown Elizabethan practitioner, containing an incomplete English translation of John of Arderne's treatise on fistula, medical recipes, notes on medical astrology, and lists and classifications of diseases and medicaments. With an illustrated guide to urine diagnosis. There are two distinct hands, a fine, cursive secretary hand, with headings in italic, for the treatise on fistula, and the uroscopy section (ff. 5r.-39v., 119r.-22r.), and a more stolid Tudor hand for the rest. Both are probably the work of the same scribe. The treatise on fistula corresponds to a considerable extent to the version printed in 1588, and the appropriate chapter numbers are indicated below.

140 ff. (original foliation 1-4, 1-35, 42-72, 74-107, 109-118, 119-122, 125-136, 138-139 and unnumbered, wanting ff. 36-41, 73, 108, 123, 137) The text is written in dark brown ink, on ruled paper, with headings and underlinings in red. 1 vol., 280 × 220 mm. Of the several leaves which have been cut from the volume, one at least bore a pen and ink sketch of some sort, a fragment of which can be seen at original f. 40v. Contemporary limp vellum binding, with remains of ties.

The pathology and treatment of stricture of the urethra, both in the male and female : Being the treatise for which the Jacksonian Prize, for the year 1852, was awarded by the College of Surgeons of England. / By Henry Thompson.

<p>Journalist Ellene Mocria looks at the practice of child marriage in Ethiopia and its consequences. The doumentary follows a 12 year old Ethiopian girl who leaves her home in order to marry a man she has never met. Although this practice was common and culturally acceptable in Ethiopian at the time, through the testimony of several women we understand that this led to a terrible toll on their physical and mental well-being. In particular, childbirth at a young age can cause life-changing physical damage (double incontinence). There is one clinic in Addis Ababa, a Fistual Hospital, which repairs the damage caused by traumatic births which have left many women doubly incontinent, shunned and in poverty. Some women who have received treatment reveal how their lives have been changed - there are graphic images of gynaecological surgery.</p>
