dbo:abstract
  • The term ex juvantibus or sometimes "ex adiuvantibus" (from Latin, meaning "from that which helps") refers, in medical contexts, to the process of making an inference about disease causation from an observed response of the disease to a treatment. For example, taking the case of a patient whose headache had been alleviated by taking aspirin, an ex juvantibus line of reasoning would state that the headaches were caused by low levels of aspirin in the brain. Obviously, the fact that aspirin cures headaches does not prove that headaches are caused by the absence of aspirin. In "The 21st-Century Brain" (2006), Steven Rose applies the term to the use of psychoactive drugs to "cure" depression, implying that the underlying cause of depression is not simply low levels of certain chemicals in the brain (such as serotonin) that these drugs treat. The phrase does not necessarily connote a fallacy. For example, a patient presents with retrosternal pain which is not relieved by sublingual nitrates (a standard remedy for angina pectoris) but is relieved with antacids (a standard remedy for heartburn). In such a case, a physician may hypothesize ex juvantibus what the underlying problem may or may not be, until a definitive diagnosis is established. (en)
  • Diagnosis ex juvantibus ist ein lateinischer Ausdruck für deutsch: „Klärung der Diagnose vom Heilerfolg her“. Damit ist gemeint, dass durch die Wahl der Therapie und durch den eventuell auftretenden Heilerfolg auf die Krankheitsursache geschlossen wird. Der Ausdruck Ex non juvantibus wird in Situationen angewendet, in denen eine in der Regel zum Abklingen der jeweiligen Symptomatik führende Therapie keinen Erfolg zeigt. Das Prinzip „Diagnosis ex juvantibus“ stellt ein nosologisches Kriterium der Klassifikation neben anderen dar, wie etwa klinisches Bild, Pathologie, Krankheitsverlauf etc. (de)
  • Ex juvantibus o ex adiuvantibus è una locuzione latina che si traduce letteralmente con "dai giovamenti". In medicina si parla di "criterio ex juvantibus" per indicare una diagnosi supportata da un tempo di remissione della patologia in seguito ad un dato trattamento. Classico esempio è quello delle intolleranze alimentari: eliminare dalla dieta la supposta causa dell'intolleranza permette di fare una diagnosi ex adiuvantibus. Questa potrà poi essere confermata se la reintroduzione dell'alimento coincide con un ritorno della sintomatologia. (it)
  • Een therapeutische diagnose (Lat: diagnosis ex iuvantibus) is een manier om een diagnose te stellen door het geven van een proefbehandeling. Indien het middel effectief blijkt dan krijgt men een aanwijzing, soms zelfs vrijwel zekerheid, wat de oorzaak van de ziekte was. Is dit niet zo, dan moet men verder zoeken. (nl)
