章节摘录

　　VACCINES　　Before vaccines were first introduced in the early 18th century, hundreds of people died of deadly diseases such as chickenpox and smallpox. Dr Edward Jenner discovered this revolutionary way of preventing illness when he injected a child with a weakened strain of smallpox and saved the childs life. The development of vaccines was a major breakthrough in worldwide disease prevention. However, there are still a number of deadly diseases that people wish vaccinations could prevent.　　X-RAYS　　Up until the late 19th century, a sprained ankle or a broken arm could only be diagnosed by means of physical examination. It was W. Roetgen who first demonstrated the power of X-rays in 1895. This important innovation made its way into routine care a few years later and made the diagnosing of internal problems easier, safer and less painful for patients. All those scientists, who put their hearts and souls into research, took imaging technology one step further with the development of ultrasound and CAT scan, which now help to diagnose diseases early.　　ASPIRIN　　Did you know that if aspirin didnt exist today, people would probably still be trying to treat fevers with willow tree compounds？ Thats right！ In 400 BC Hippocrates, the Greek physician regarded as the Father of Medicine, recommended a tea made from willow leaves for the treatment of fevers, aches and pains. Years later, scientists discovered that it was salicylic acid - a substance found in willow trees - which actually relieved pain and reduced fever. Aspirin was perfected in 1897. Nowadays, aspirin is the most widely used painkiller in the world; 100 billion doses are consumed each year！　　ANTIBIOTICS　　It all happened quite by accident, when Alexander Fleming discovered that mould had killed bacteria in a lab dish he had forgotten to clean. To refine and grow the mould was a difficult process. However, he could not turn a blind eye to the fact that these particular bacteria were responsible for the loss of many human lives at the time, so he decided to do some research. When he presented his findings, nobody took notice of the potential benefits. Other medical professionals took over Flemings research but their work was cut short for a number of reasons. Eventually, the first antibiotics were developed, which was a major medical achievement. The truth is that if antibiotics did not exist today, even a common cold could kill us.
