Veterinary medicine is a science that studies the prevention and treatment of livestock diseases. The health care and disease prevention of domestic animals, companion animals (such as dogs and cats), economic wild animals, experimental animals, ornamental animals, economic insects (such as bees and silkworms) and fish all belong to the category of veterinary medicine.
With the development of medical and health undertakings, the scope of veterinary medicine has now expanded to human and animal diseases, public health, environmental protection, human disease models, experimental animals, food production, pharmaceutical industry and other fields, and many new frontier disciplines have been formed, which are playing an increasingly important role in the development of agricultural production, biology and human medicine.
Medicine is a subject that deals with various diseases or pathological changes in life and promotes the rehabilitation of patients. It is a science that deals with the problems related to the good state of human physiology in the definition of human health, aiming at treating and preventing physiological diseases and improving the level of human physiological health. Medicine in a narrow sense is only the treatment of diseases and the recovery of effective body functions, while medicine in a broad sense also includes China's regimen and western nutrition derived from it.
There are two major medical systems in the world: western micro-western medicine and eastern macro-Chinese medicine. The scientific nature of medicine lies in the application of basic medical theories, such as biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, anatomy, pathology, pharmacology, statistics, epidemiology, traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine skills, to treat diseases and promote health.
Although the different ways of thinking between the East and the West lead to the different macro and micro order of studying the relationship between human health and the outside world and the pathological mechanism, in the near future, the accumulation of rich experience and the formation of theories in the practice of Chinese and Western medicine will surely give birth to a new medicine-human medicine.
