The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Muslims doctors were well-prepared medicine men that implemented many good things to help Muslims of the time. For instance, they developed good diagnosis systems to better identify diseases and prevent them. These doctors were part of the many scientific discoveries during the 7th century in the Muslim world. Let's remember the influence Islam had on many territories of that time. After the death of the prophet Mohammed in 632, Islam spread from the Arabian peninsula to other territories such as Asia, North Africa, the Middle East and the Iberian peninsula in Europe. Medical Muslim advancements were introduced in those places as part of the expansion of Islam.

While Westerners credit William Harvey for discovering blood circulation in 1616, pulmonary circulation had already been described by the Arabic doctor Ibn

Al-Nafis 300 years before. While his knowledge was incomplete, Al-Nafis knew that the heart had two halves and that blood passed through the lungs when traveling from one side of the heart to the other. He also realized that the heart is nourished by capillaries.

Besides his description of the circulatory system and the heart, Al-Nafis advocated dissection as a means of truly learning anatomy and physiology, although he also writes that he didn’t perform dissections because of his strict Muslim beliefs. He described his observations on the brain, nervous system, bone structure and gall bladder and more in his great medical encyclopaedia Al-Shamil. Unfortunately, not many of Al-Nafis’ writings were translated into Latin, leaving Christian doctors befuddled regarding basic anatomy until much later.

Islamic medicine recognized that some diseases were infectious, including leprosy, smallpox and sexually transmitted diseases. To these, the great Islamic doctor Avicenna added tuberculosis and described how contagious diseases spread and necessary methods of quarantine.

The 10th century Arabic doctor Al Zahrawi established the basis of surgery in Al-Andalus in Cordoba, where he worked as a doctor for the Caliph Al-Hakam II. He wrote a great medical treatise, the Kitab al-Tasrif, a 30-volume book of medicine and surgery. Al Zahrawi invented over 200 surgical instruments, many of which are still used today, including forceps, scalpel, surgical needle and retractor, specula and catgut sutures.  Sorry if this is to much to read

Why was it important for Jews in concentration camps to look young, strong, and healthy
user100 [1]

Answer:

They needed to look strong enough to work so they would not be killed.

Explanation:

Those sick or too old automatically were taken to these gas chambers, and yes it is how it sounds. A gas chamber was a sealed room that was used for execution by poisonous gas. Some mothers used to pinch their children's cheeks to make sure they looked extra healthy. A horrifying way to die.
