MEDICINA & STORIA – CALL FOR PAPERS
Focus: History, Philosophy and Social Aspects of Parkinson’s Disease
Editor: Stefano Canali (SISSA, Trieste)
In 1817, James Parkinson’s “An Essay on the Shaking Palsy” was published in which, based on his discussion of six cases, he offered the first clear description of the neurological disease to be named after him. To mark the bicentenary of the publication of Parkinson’s groundbreaking essay, Medicina & Storia plans to put together a special section of the journal on the historical, philosophical and social aspects related to Parkinson’s disease.
The Focus will be published in the 2/2017 issue of Medicina & Storia (ETS).
There is very rich historical research on Parkinson’s disease, in particular, on the evolution of therapeutic strategies. While various historical aspects have been fairly well studied, there still remain some more recent epistemological, ethical and social issues that have yet to be explored and discussed. With this in mind, we have identified three thematic areas for which we would very much welcome the submission of original and previously unpublished contributions:
All articles will be subject to peer reviewing.
