“…The contemporary signs of progress in medical sciences are indebted to earlier documented attempts, with the oldest known surgical text dating back to 1600 BC. This is the Edwin Smith Papyrus from Egypt, which describes many surgical applications and treatments [44].…”

Documents are tools of communication which are changing rapidly in nature and quantity. Prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, digital formats have become ubiquitous. However, documents and documentation have a long pre-digital history. In seeking to survey document types and features, two major online journal databases from the Web of Science database were analysed over a 30-year period to 2020. Documents were classified into types and the (arbitrary) features of format, dimension, production, administration and distribution. Such tabulation of journal documents has not been undertaken previously. As the sampled journals covered a range of fields, the types and features of documentation in selected specialised areas were included. Digitalisation of documentation, especially of rare documents, has accelerated in recent times, contributing to the retention of knowledge and its rapid dissemination, despite the accompanying disadvantages of the digital age, with its largely unregulated social media. Classifying and describing the diversity of existing documents is a major task and we have initiated this process by analysing two scientific databases.

“…The holy book of Avesta is the oldest document of pharmacy and medicine in ancient Persia (10). Pharmacist had been referred to as urvaro baešaza in Vandidad, a chapter of Avesta (11). Also, there is ample archeological evidence of pharmaceutical tools that belong to Persians in prehistoric and ancient times, showing the depth of pharmaceutical knowledge in Persia history (12).…”

Context: Persia has been the cradle of science across human history. Many of today’s concepts in science, such as the finite speed of light and alcohol distillation, were first proposed by Persian scientists. Mohammad ibn Zakariya Razi (Rhazes) is undoubtedly one of the greatest Persian scientists over human history. Evidence Acquisition: In this paper, in addition to a brief review of the history of pharmacy and chemistry sciences in Persia, Rhazes’ valuable books in the fields of pharmacy and chemistry, along with a brief description of them, were introduced. Data were extracted from different historical and bibliography books and also the citation databases of PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Results: Rhazes’ books and treatises in the fields of pharmacy and chemistry have been classified into three categories: 1) the books and treatises containing some sections on pharmacy like Al-Hawi fi al-Tibb (Liber Continens) and Al-Mansouri fi al-Tibb, 2) those written merely on pharmacy, like Qarabadin (pharmacopeia), and 3) the books focusing on alchemy (kimia), like Sirr al-Asrar (Secret of secrets) and Al Asrar (Liber Secretorum). Three volumes of Al Hawi fi al-Tibb were applied as a reference in pharmacology in Western universities for many years. Sirr al-Asrar is his most important book on alchemy, describing raw materials used in alchemy, experimental apparatus necessary for alchemical investigations, and detailed procedures for the chemical manipulation of arsenic and sulfur. Conclusions: These valuable manuscripts demonstrate the ancient heritage of Persians and the great roles and contributions of Persian scientists in the history of science.

İnsanoğlunun en büyük arzusu, uzun bir yaşam ve ölümsüzlük olmuştur. Bu amacı gerçekleştirme çabası içerisinde olan insan, yaşam mücadelesinde pek çok travma ve yaralanmalara maruz kalmıştır. Ortaya çıkan bu tablo, cerrahinin gelişimine hız kazandırmıştır. Yapılan incelemeler cerrahi uygulamaların, hastalığı tedavi etmek, hasarı onarmak ve iyileştirmek gibi nedenlerin yanı sıra büyücülük gibi birtakım dini amaçlara hizmet etme amacıyla da kullanıldığını ortaya koymaktadır. Geçmişten günümüze cerrahinin tanılanması ve kullanılan yöntemlere ilişkin topluluklar arasında belirgin farklılıklar olduğu belirtilmektedir. Geçmişte trepenasyon (kafatasını delme), drenaj, yara tedavisi vb. gibi daha basit birtakım uygulamalarla başlayan cerrahi, günümüzde bilim ve teknolojide yaşanan hızlı gelişmelerle birlikte yerini robotik cerrahi, transluminal endoskopik cerrahi vb. gibi birtakım yöntemlere bırakmıştır. Bilim ve teknolojideki öngörülemez bu hızlı değişimlerin cerrahiyi/cerrahi hemşireliğini ne boyutta etkileyeceğini kestirmek ise oldukça güçtür. Mevcut cerrahi yöntemlerin ötesinde yapay zekâ uygulamalarının konuşulduğu günümüzde, sürecin hemşirelerin bilgi ve beceri düzeylerinde bir değişim ve gelişimi de beraberinde getirdiği görülmektedir. Bu derleme, geçmişten günümüze cerrahi/cerrahi hemşireliğinde yaşanan değişim süreçleri ve meydana gelen gelişmeleri ortaya koymak amacıyla kaleme alınmıştır.
