 | | Amongst Galen's own major works is a seventeen-volume On the Usefulness of the Parts of the Human Body. | | | Galen transmitted Hippocratic medicine all the way to the Renaissance. | | | He performed vivisections of numerous animals to study the function of the kidneys and the spinal cord. |

| | Claudius Galen |
| | Galen extended his knowledge of anatomy by dissecting pigs and apes and studying their bone structure and muscles. | | | Galen was also interested in human anatomy but there is no evidence that he dissected human bodies – though rumours persisted that he did. | | | Galen also believed in the healing power of nature and he developed treatments to restore the balance of the four humours. |

| | Further, Galen agreed with the Aristotelian notion of experiment, and he also believed in Aristotle's idea of the functional form of natural bodies, meaning that all bodies arising from nature are suited structurally for their function (Temkin 73). | | | Galen believed that the authority of ancients was limited to the validity of their claims, and that, while their theories need not necessarily be replaced, they usually required clarification and progression. | | | Galen used dissection to explore the anatomy of the brain and spinal cord, including the spinal nerves (Galen, 1962; Nutton 1998; Fishbein 25). |

| | Galen 3 |
| | Galen viewed the body as consisting of three connected systems: the brain and nerves, which are responsible for sensation and thought; the heart and arteries, responsible for life-giving energy; and the liver and veins, responsible for nutrition and growth. | | | Galen's advocacy of dissection, both to improve surgical skills and for research purposes, formed part of his self-promotion, but there is no doubt that he was an accurate observer. | | | Galen was seriously hampered by the prevailing social taboo against dissecting human corpses, however, and the inferences he made about human anatomy based on his dissections of animals often led him into errors. |

| | Galen [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Galen approaches the issue with a balanced approach beginning with anatomical observations. | | | Galen's theory of attraction may have had its roots in the theory of natural place that always lacked a material force to implement it. | | | The point in this second example is that Galen wanted to combine his observations gained in dissections of apes to his pronouncements vis-à-vis the debate concerning "one seed conception" vs. "two seed conception." This commitment to integrating observation and theory contributed to making Galen a towering figure in medicine and the philosophy of science. |

| | Galen's most lasting technique, one that survived his discreditation during the Renaissance, is the taking of the pulse - still done by doctors to this day. | | | Many of Galen's anatomical and physiological observations were accurate. | | | He also recommended that other doctors practice dissection as a means of discovery as well as to improve surgical skills. |

| | Galen - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Galen |
| | Galen postulated a circulation system in which the liver produced the natural spirit, the heart the vital spirit, and the brain the animal spirit. | | | The dissection of human beings was then regarded as taboo and Galen made inferences about human anatomy from his many dissections of animals. | | | His detailed descriptions of bones and muscles, many of which he was the first to identify, are particularly good; he also noted that many muscles are arranged in antagonistic pairs. |

| | The GALEN project established the ontology and GRAIL formalism and demonstrated the feasibility of the concepts; GALEN-IN-USE developed the Common Reference Model (CRM) for Medical Procedures - a key element for architectures for interworking between medical records, decision support, information retrieval and natural language processing systems in healthcare. | | | --> GALEN was concerned with the computerisation of clinical terminologies. | | | This concern with the computerisation of clinical terminologies led to the replacement of the static hierarchy of traditional clinical terminologies with a description logic to help make them reusable and therefore better support computerised medical applications using clinical terminology. |

| | Although this theory is originally rooted in presocratic philosophy, it was due to Galen’s studies, experiments and bedside practices, which enabled him to investigate its rational practicability and compile the most complete version of it within the Greek tradition. | | | Moreover he investigated the internal organs, the muscles and spinal court, the functioning of the urinary system and other mechanical functions of the living bodies. | | | Humoralism was practised up to the 19th century in Europe and is still practised in some non European cultures and within alternative approaches to medicine. |

| | GALEN is the name given to a technology that is designed to represent clinical information in a new way, and is intended to "put the clinical into the clinical workstation". | | | GALEN is trying to make it easier to build useful and usable clinical applications, to support clinicians in their day-today work. | | | Early phases of the GALEN Programme developed the GRAIL concept modelling language, experimented with different structures for the GALEN Common Reference Model, and, in parallel, tested the usefulness of the approach with a series of clinical demonstrator projects. |
