A Study of an Arabic Manuscript ‘Ain-Al-Hayat’ Written on Geriatrics by Mohammad Ibn Yousuf Harvi and its Translation into English Ashfaque AHMAD Research Officer (Unani), National National Institute of Indian Medical Heritage (C.C.R.A.S.), 3rd Floor, Osmania Medical College building, Putlibowli, Hyderabad-500095, India, e-mail: drashfaq.ccras@gmail.com Summary Ain-Al-Hayat is an Arabic manuscript written on the topic of geriatrics by Mohammad Ibn Yousuf Harvi. Copies of the manuscript are available in different libraries of the world. Ain-Al-Hayat has been published and translated into Urdu by Ibn Sina Academy of Medieval Medicine and Sciences (IAMMS), Aligarh, U.P. India. But unfortunately it has not been translated into English so far. Therefore keeping in view the importance of the manuscript, I took a project from government of India to translate it into English. Now Ain-Al-Hayat is going first time to be published along with English translation from National National Institute of Indian Medical Heritage (C.C.R.A.S.), 3rd Floor, Osmania Medical College building, Putlibowli, Hyderabad-500095, India. The details of study and contents of the book are mentioned in this paper. Key Words: Ain-Al-Hayat, Geriatrics, Manuscript Introduction • Name of the Mss: Ain-Al-Hayat • Author : Mohammad Ibn Yousuf Harvi • Period : 1532 AD (Paper Mss) • Language : Arabic • Script : Arabic • Source : Andhra Pradesh Government Oriental Manuscript Library and Research Institute, Hyderabad • Subject : Geriatrics • Pages : 196 • Collated, Edited and Translated into English by: Dr. Ashfaque Ahmad Geriatrics In recent period Geriatrics has been given so much importance which is a sub-specialty of internal medicine and family medicine that focuses on health care of elderly people. It aims to promote health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities in older adults. The term geriatrics comes from the Greek γέρων geron meaning “old man” and ιατρός iatros meaning “healer”. However, geriatrics is sometimes called medical gerontology. The first modern geriatric hospital was founded in Belgrade, Serbia in 1881 AD by Dr. Laza Lazarević. The term geriatrics was proposed in 1909 by Dr. Ignatz Leo Nascher, former Chief of Clinic in the Mount Sinai Hospital Outpatient Department (New York City) and a “Father” of geriatrics in the United States. Geriatrics differs from standard adult medicine because it focuses on the unique needs of the elderly person. The aged body is different physiologically from the younger adult body, and during old age, the decline of various organ systems becomes manifest. The decline in physiological reserve in organs makes the elderly develop some kinds of diseases and have more complications from mild problems (such as dehydration from a mild gastroenteritis). Elderly people require specific attention to medications. Changes in physiology with aging may alter the absorption, the effectiveness and the side effect profile of many drugs. These changes may occur in oral protective reflexes (dryness of the mouth caused by diminished salivary glands), in the gastrointestinal system (such as with delayed emptying of solids and liquids possibly restricting speed of absorption), and in the distribution of drugs with changes in body fat and muscle and drug elimination.
