Curation
The term curation ( Latin curare "to maintain", "to worry about") is used in the literature in the sense of "preserving" and "treating". However, the exact meaning varies between departments.
medicine
In medicine, curation is used synonymously with curative therapy .
A treatment is called curation when it aims at a complete restoration of the patient's health (“restitutio ad integrum”) and thus at the same time prevents deterioration. The term stands in a certain contrast to the term palliative or palliation . In palliative therapy , the goal of treatment is not a complete cure, but rather to relieve symptoms (for example through pain therapy) and, if possible, to halt or slow down the progression of the disease. Often both terms are used in cancer medicine .
Economy - health management
Here, curation (i.e. cost factor) is generally used synonymously with treatment (curative and palliative ). The intuition of the curative treatment (aiming at healing) does not matter.
Culture and museum management
The term curation here means something like (to) preserve and maintain. A curator takes on this task .
Agriculture
In the case of pesticides , a curative effect - in contrast to a purely protective effect - means that already infected plants can be cured.
