At the same time, I recorded the autopsy findings, and other medical students followed Monsieur Bernard’s examination. He found that the worker’s heart was twice the normal size, and that the aortic valves almost covered the entrance to the aorta.

After completing one year of clinical and practical training, these physicians received their diplomas and began active service as military doctors. Inheriting this legacy, Wieting Pasha found Gülhane in an orderly and well-established condition. After the proclamation of the Constitutional Monarchy, efforts were made in 1909 to incorporate Gülhane into the newly established Faculty of Medicine, created through the merger of the civil and military medical schools. However, through memoranda he submitted to the Ministry of War, Wieting Pasha succeeded in keeping Gülhane separate from the faculty, thereby transforming it into an independent institution for the training of military physicians. During this period, the hospital's name was changed from Gülhane Seririyat Hospital to \"Gülhane Military School of Training and Clinical Medicine.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAfter he earned his doctorate in medicine (Dr. med.) in Marburg in 1893, Wieting underwent surgical training in Hanover, Mainz, and Kassel as an assistant physician. As a reserve staff physician, he served as an assistant at the Municipal Hospital in Bremerhaven, at the Women’s Clinic of the University Hospital Bonn, and in the surgical department of the New General Hospital Eppendorf. In 1900, he joined the Second Boer War with the German Red Cross. Thereafter, he was appointed professor by the Prussian Crown.

He published a vascular surgical procedure for the treatment of atherosclerotic gangrene, which was named after him. In 1908, he succeeded Georg Deycke as Medical Director and introduced the Medical Gülhane Evenings. At the same time, he served as the Imperial German Embassy physician. As an advisor to the head of the Turkish medical service, he took part in the First Balkan War in 1912-13. In 1914, he entered the First World War on the Turkish side, ultimately serving as a Turkish Major General of the Medical Corps.

He took part in an Ottoman military expedition to Yemen aimed at reasserting imperial control over the region; the expeditionary corps departed from Jeddah on 23 March 1849.

In May 1895, he conducted investigations in Tarsus, Mersin, and Silifke, and for approximately a year and a half, he fought the epidemic in these regions.

The anti-Turkish discourse and publications of the Paris and Romanian branches of the organization prompted Şerafeddin Mağmumi and his associates to act. In 1903, they founded the newspaper \"Türk\" [i.e., Turk] in Cairo. The important article titled \"Üç Tarz-ı Siyaset\" (Three Policies), published in the newspaper in 1904 by Akçuraoğlu Yusuf, became the first voice of nationalist thought among Turks in Istanbul and other centres of the Ottoman Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAfter the proclamation of the Second Constitutional Monarchy, Şerafeddin Mağmumi returned to Istanbul, where he remained for about five months.

Although he made several trips from Egypt to France and Switzerland, with the outbreak of the First World War, he began to lead a life removed from politics in Cairo under British supervision.

Soon after its establishment, the society found itself engulfed by the First World War, with devastating consequences for the Armenian community.

The journal was conceived to address the increasingly pressing health problems in provincial areas of Anatolia through a distinctly patriotic and socially engaged medical perspective. Its contents comprise articles on the major epidemic diseases of the period, such as typhoid fever, cholera, malaria, and tuberculosis, the harmful effects of alcohol consumption, principles of establishing a healthy and economical household diet, child health, first aid, mental illnesses, beauty, and related topics. Sıhhî Sahifeler functioned as a popular health magazine of its time and, enjoying wide public interest, carried out an important public service by actively responding to readers' questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“In the early years of his medical career, Mazhar Osman sought to contribute to the Turkish-language psychiatric literature; in later periods, he also wrote regular columns for daily newspapers. Observing the impact of these writings on public opinion, he subsequently turned to publishing activities. In 1919, he began publishing İstanbul Seririyatı, a journal primarily addressed to the medical community, and served as its editor-in-chief until his death, thereby establishing one of the first modern and long-running medical periodicals in Turkish medicine. As he gained increasing public prominence over the years, he went on to launch Sıhhî Sahifeler, the country’s first popular medical magazine. During the 1930s, this journal became the scene of numerous public controversies and may be said to have kept Mazhar Osman continually in the public eye.” (Source: Atatürk Ansiklopedisi: See Mazhar Osman Usman].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDuman 1911., We couldn’t find any copies in WorldCat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Khalkedon Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46498375368835,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0390\/3294\/6819\/files\/22-2sml.jpg?v=1770374351"},{"product_id":"the-first-modern-ottoman-psychiatrist-against-spiritism-سپرىتىزمه-علىهنده-علوم-مستوره-مراقلىلرىنه-spiritizma-aleyhinde-ulum-i-mesture-meraklilarina-i-e-against-spiritism","title":"[THE FIRST MODERN OTTOMAN PSYCHIATRIST AGAINST SPIRITISM] سپرىتىزمه علىهنده: علوم مستوره مراقلىلرىنه \/ Spiritizma aleyhinde: Ulûm-i mestûre meraklilarina.

In Ottoman Turkish, zürefa was generally used to mean elegant people, refined individuals, or those of cultivated taste. In literary texts and writings describing urban culture, the expression “zürefa takımı” often referred to circles in Istanbul that were fond of adornment, fashion, and entertainment, and that had, to some extent, adopted an alafranga (Europeanized) lifestyle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003eIn the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a shift in the meaning of the word can be observed through slang and indirect usage. The emphasis on “refinement” and “delicacy of taste” could serve as a veiled expression for gender roles or sexual orientations that did not conform to prevailing social norms. For this reason, in some memoirs and humorous writings, expressions such as zürefa or zürefa meclisi could, depending on the context, refer to effeminate men, male homosexual circles, and romantic or erotic relationships between women.
