Embryology in Holy Bible.
The knowledge of Embryology and its existence dates back to the remote antiquity of mankind. The theory of maternal impressions on Embryo has its sanction in the Holy Bible. Apart from this it is remarkable to find artificial incubation of the eggs of birds practised 'probably' as far back as about 3000 B.C. Other than these, the existence of midwives, cases of premature births, deliveries of the women of advanced age and the obstetric chair etc. are the expositions of the science of medicine in the Holy Bible.

[Time, cultures, and coexistence].
"In this essay, the authors try to illustrate the relevance of the sociology of time for the study of migration and inter-cultural relations. It is argued that by taking the time-dimension more explicitly into account, our insights in the dynamics of these relations can be [improved].... In connection with international migration processes, this relationship appears to be influenced by at least six different factors: 1) the sudden transition from a rural to an urban, industrial environment; 2) the perspective of the return to the homeland; 3) the confrontation with the culture of the host country and with other migrants' cultures; 4) the religious, ideological and political developments in the homeland; 5) the reactions of the host country and the problems these create; 6) the minority position of the migrants."

[Philosophy and medicine].
Current medicine is a complicated system of knowledge, its construction requiring certain philosophical grounds based on the principles of dialectic materialistic ideology. These principles must rest upon clear understanding of the object and subject of medicine and levels of its investigations. The following problems of medicine require further study: reactive and adaptive essence of disease; correlation of norm and health, pathology and disease, their unity, interrelationships, and qualitative differences, Thus, these problems receive different interpretations causing conflicts. It is necessary to strictly adhere to concepts of dialectic materialism, to strengthen the unity of dialectic materialistic philosophy and natural sciences as recommended by V. I. Lenin.

Psychiatric hospitals and instrumental rationality.
Therapists in psychiatric hospitals often overuse a model borrowed from natural science, with the patient becoming an object to be examined, assessed, and altered, and underuse an interpretive psychotherapeutic approach, or misuse it to control patients. And while expressing an interest in the meaning of what patients say, they exclude most of the traditional sources of meaning, in ethics, religion, literature, art, and political thought. The author argues that therapists do these things for two ideological reasons: to maintain their position in the authoritarian structure of the hospital and to maintain the hospital as an agent of class domination. Along with other groups, therapists bring instrumental rationality, such as that of natural science, to bear on political, cultural, and personal questions for which this type of rationality is often destructive. In the long run, political participation and social integration decrease, culture traditions provide less meaning, and personality formation is disrupted. Thus the end result of the overuse of instrumental rationality is not only domination by one class of others, but a decrease in the stability of the society as a whole. Hospital therapists participate in these trends, but they could do otherwise, by working to create a more democratic form of therapy.
Culture↗
[Spirituality, religiosity, and health].
After providing a working definition of spirituality, religion, and religiosity, a medical practitioner's view on spirituality and religion in patient care is presented, including negative and positive effects as well as challenges for the practitioner. After discussing some pertinent clinical findings, evidence is introduced to the effect that spiritual well-being rather than religious practice as such is the beneficial cause. When and where to bring in spirituality/religion in patient care, together with a discussion what to expect and why, is next. There follow some considerations on mind/spirit over mind and over matter, and on the measurement of spirituality and religiosity. Finally, it is concluded that the medical science of healing should deal with the body and the mind/spirit as a whole.

The effectiveness of words: religion and healing among the Lubavitch of Stamford Hill.
Testimonials of miraculous healing offered by Lubavitch Hasidim evoke images of exile and restitution which derive from Kabbalistic texts. Mediated practically through the person of the Rebbe, these testimonials articulate both immediate affliction and ultimate meaning, physical embodiment as well as symbolic representation, each constituting the other. Both Kabbalah and medical anthropology attempt to transcend not dissimilar epistemological dualisms: those characteristic of monotheism and contemporary science. Yet the 'lower root' of Kabbalah affirms a material reality known through immediate sensory experience which recalls the rationale of biomedicine.

Islamic perspective on human cloning and stem cell research.
Recent advances in the field of cloning and stem cell research have introduced new hope for treatment of serious diseases. But this promise has been accompanied by enormous questions. Currently, cloning is a matter of public discussion. It is rare that a field of science causes debate and challenge not only among scientists but also among ethicists, religious scholars, governments, and politicians. One important concern is religious arguments. Various religions have different attitudes toward the morality of these subjects; even within a particular religious tradition there is a diversity of opinions. The following article briefly reviews Islamic perspectives about reproductive/therapeutic cloning and stem cell research. The majority of Muslim jurists distinguish between reproductive and therapeutic cloning. The moral status of the human embryo, the most sensitive and disputed point in this debate, is also discussed according to Holy Quran teachings.

The role of Hippocrates in the development and progress of medical sciences.
Greek relations with Egypt dates back to before 2000 B.C. The early Greek known systematic medicine began with the legendary Asclepios, the Greek God of Medicine. Round the 7th century B.C. many Greeks migrated to Egypt. Many of them came to Egypt to study all kinds of sciences. Greek and thence the European medicine started with the age of Pericles. Its progress centered in Hippocrates, the most Greek physician. He founded the Coan school at Cos about 430 B.C. Hippocrates separated Greek medicine from superstitions, magic and religion. He is called the father of Greek medicine. He wrote several books, the most famous of them is "The Collection" formed of 30 volumes. He exacted an oath of medical ethics also. After 300 B.C. the Hippocratic collection began to circulate, and in it was thrown everything that could by any device be passed off as of Hippocratic origin. Many medical schools were founded in Greece, which pushed medical sciences into much progress and development.

Chaplaincy in Europe.
Chaplaincy is organized in Europe in various ways, depending on the cultural, religious, social and governmental aspects which shape healthcare. One of the uniting forces in bringing national chaplaincies together into one united body has been the European Network of Health Care Chaplaincy (ENHCC). Chaplaincy in Europe faces two major difficulties: 1) the professional status of the chaplain within the healthcare community; 2) preserving the patient's rights for spiritual care. These difficulties are described and note is given to how the ENHCC is dealing with them. Finally, special attention is given to how chaplaincy in Europe and the medical community interact and what is needed to bridge the gap between the two worlds of science and faith.
