An area of impaired or lost vision within a visual field otherwise in a good (or at least healthy) state. Example: Malcolm’s vision was now almost totally occupied by the shimmering dazzle of the scotoma. 2. A weakness of the mind's perception, cognition, or world view, causing it to ignore some aspects of reality. Labels: figuratively Example: intellectual scotoma Example: The intellectual foundations for the scientific revolution in medicine were laid down in the second half of the nineteenth century, but therapeutic applications did not reach the bedside until the mid-1940s (L. Eisenberg 1988). The profession I entered cloaked itself in the apparel of science, but its practices differed little from those of the empirics a half century earlier; basic science had taught doctors a great deal about the pathogenesis of disease, but little about its treatment. Indeed, the dazzling discoveries of the specific bacterial and viral causes of infectious diseases blinded physicians to the importance of host factors in determining disease outcome, an intellectual scotoma that continues to impair the scientific vision of today's physicians and researchers (L. Eisenberg 1988). Only 5 to 15 percent of individuals who contract a primary TB [tuberculosis] infection manifest clinical symptoms. Infection with the TB bacillus is a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for illness (Glassroth, Robins, and Snider 1980). It was my good fortune to begin my medical education just as science reached the clinic. The gains in the therapeutic capabilities of medicine during my lifetime have been simply extraordinary. Let me cite a few examples.

Labels: historical Example: And if the pious bishop and martyr, St. Irenaeus, happen to drop any thing pointed against the Doctor's progenitors, the ancient Ebionites, of heretical memory, he gently passes it over as though no such passages occurred in that learned and venerable Father's writings.
