RE: WHO's term list / PMPH

[Guest guest]

Doug,

 

 

 

I guess a better question then is who in the future is planning to use the

WHO term list. For example, I was under the impression that PMPH has their

own separate term list. I also assume major publishing houses like paradigm

don’t plan on switching away from Wisemanese. Since there are now numerous

open source term sets available I wonder how this will impact the

terminology issues in the West.

 

 

 

BTW- I know that there are oodles of these PMPH books being finished, are

they selling? Do they even sell them in the states? Has anyone read any of

them?

 

 

 

Doug?

Jason, as far as I know no one has had a chance to use it, it is so new. I

wasn't aware of it

this winter when doing the PMPH editing. I assume it's the result of the

Beijing meetings

last year that caused such a brouhaha (what a great word!). I like what I

see. I guess I

could live with Triple Energizer.

From the introduction:

In 1981, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for the Western

Pacific

organized a Working Group for the Standardization of Acupuncture

Nomenclature. After

10 years of effort, a consensus on the proposed standard international

acupuncture

nomenclature was reached by the Regional Office for the Western Pacific¡¯s

Working Group

and then by the WHO Scientific Group in Geneva. In 1991, A Proposed Standard

 

International Acupuncture Nomenclature was published by WHO in Geneva and

a revised edition of Standard Acupuncture Nomenclature (Part 1 and 2) was

published by

the Regional Office for the Western Pacific in Manila. Practical use has

proven these WHO

publications to be invaluable contributions to international information

exchange on

acupuncture. However, the publications are still quite limited, only

including

nomenclature for the 14 meridians, 361 classical acupuncture points, 8 extra

 

meridians, 48 extra points, 14 scalp acupuncture lines and a few terms

related to

acupuncture needles. Moreover, to meet the increasing demands of practice,

education,

research and exchange of information, there is an urgent need to develop

standardized

terminology and nomenclature for TRM as a whole.

The PMPH (People's Medical Publishing House) clinical series is just

starting to hit the news stands. I saw a few of these books when PMPH came

to ECTOM about a month ago. I'm told that they'll be in Portland for the

upcoming AAAOM confab.
