Transhumanism, as a philosophical movement with ancient origins in the Renaissance period, promotes respect for reason and science and the application of scientific and technical conquests for the ...benefit of man, principles which are not fundamentally different from those of humanism. Like it or not, many of us will live to see their practical application: communication, computer science, robotics, AI (artificial intelligence), with multidisciplinary involvement. We looked at what the current practical applications are in an oncology service and where we foresee transhumanism (H+) fitting in the future. Today, access to medical information, epidemiological data, health policy, computerised treatment prescription, robotic surgery, unprecedented development of imaging techniques are concrete evidence of practical applications in oncology.The volume of information and the varied conditions of its application, with its specific details, the need for personalisation of treatment, the speed of technology’s development and artificial intelligence is beginning to outstrip the possibility of assimilation, even for physicians with a high IQ, with an adequate memory, bent on study, so that oncology will probably be one of the fields that will benefit from the introduction of AI.The conclusions are pro-progress, but also fatalistic. The usefulness and applicability of the new breakthroughs are useful: what doctor wouldn't want his patients to be cured? It's just that each of us is unique, or this divine uniqueness cannot be taught, especially when it comes to the empathy that the doctor displays towards the patients
Physical activity practiced on a constant, regular basis contributes directly to the improvement of the structure and functions of different organs and body systems. It can also counteract the ...appearance of some anatomic and functional deterioration and contribute to the correction of certain deficiencies caused by improper conditions of life/work in people's life. This study analyses two forms of physical exercise - Aerobic Step and Pilates. The goal of the study is to identify the effects of practicing Aerobic Step and Pilates exercises on the bodies of those who practice these forms of physical exercise. The hypothesis of the research is that practicing on constant/regular basis different types of aerobic exercises combined with efficient nutrition ensures optimum physical condition for everyday activities. The activity was carried out at the "Beauty Centre" aerobic hall from Timisoara, Romania. The study was carried out between February and May 2013 on a sample of 25 people subjected to anthropometric and functional measurements (size, weight, hip perimeter and body weight index, percentage of muscular tissue) both before (initial test - It) and after (final test - Ft) Aerobic Step and Pilates programmes. Results show the efficiency of these programmes as pointed out by the diminution of hip perimeter, by normal IMC, and by the increase of the active muscular tissues.
