This paper focuses on a particular case of the public health administration under Franco which shows its decay in the rural areas. Leptospirosis was fought specially in the rice fields, and I afford to evaluate its similarities and disimilarities to previous health campaigns brought about by the idea of Social Medicine. It became a public health hazard after the Civil War, due to its consequences on delicate moments of rice production such as the harvest, although no organised measures were taken until 1953. It was thanks to the first agreement on technical assistance signed with the WHO, that allowed the arrival of Brenno Babudieri, a world famous Italian microbiologist on the matter, who tested a vaccine in Spain. But public health initiatives regarding leptospirosis were laboratory centered, scattered and apparently dependent on the will of the provincial medical officer.

The article questions the binomial that associates the chronicity and incurability of mental illness with the custodialism of the asylum through a case study, Asylum La Castaneda in Mexico, from 1910 to 1968. We contrast the discourses about the cure and chronicity constructed by Mexican psychiatrists and the statistical trends of patients admitted: new admissions, readmissions, discharges, length of stay, and diagnoses in the light of new treatments. We concluded that according to the doctors, the asylum therapeutic function was severely affected by chronicity and overpopulation, but according to statistics, 80% of the patients had only one admission with a 15-month hospitalization and the long-term confinement rates of readmissions did not impact statistically; two-thirds of the patients left the asylum, and since the 1950s in the context of new therapeutics.

This paper analyzes the astronomical texts written by Andres Bello between 1810 and 1848, from its educational nature to its rhetorical expression, suggesting that their main purpose was to show the advances in the field - in terms of knowledge production and also technology development- in order to improve the material and intellectual environment of the nation. It also stands that astronomy should be tought by activating creativity and imagination, which may be linked with Bello’s willing to avoid science and art develop apart from each other, keeping, in this case astronomy bonded with literature.

In this article we analyze 159 clinical records of patients with diagnoses related to alcohol at the Departamental Mental Hospital of Antioquia, between the years of 1920 and 1930. In that decade an institutional transformation began with the arrival at the direction of Dr. Lazaro Uribe Calad. Besides it was very discussed in the medical and political sector the idea of the racial degeneracy, a matter in which alcoholism played a central role. It is observed in medical publications a constant concern due to the terrible consequences that the high consumption of alcohol could bring in society. However, a deeper review of sources such as the annual Statistics of the Mental Hospital and the clinical records, shows how clinical practice reflected another reality. It is concluded that both, the number of patients who were diagnosed as alcoholic or whose etiology was related to the drink, were much lower than those indicated by the doctors. These incomes mainly responded to moral and social problems, but not to psychiatric issues.

The writer Maura Lopes Cancado circulated in the world of the psychiatric hospitals between the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. During one of hospitalizations (1959-1960), the third time in the National Psychiatric Center, a hospital complex in Rio de Janeiro, the writer wrote a diary that was later published as the book Hospice is God-Diary I. The bond between the live lived by her and the fiction, which the narrator transited in her diary, creating a unique work from the perspective of academic commentators and literary critics. In the history field of madness and psychiatry, this work offers new possibilities for understanding the configuration of psychiatric care, scientific and therapeutic practices and the various subjects that circulated in the world of Brazilians psychiatric hospitals, in the 1950s, operating a displacement in relation to traditional places of enunciation that are known. In this article, I chose to observe the problematizations of Maura about the institutional daily life and the fact of writing a diary, which oscillate between teaching others and the care of the self. Therefore, I did an enunciative analysis of the narrative, that values the things that were said by her as one of the truths about the psychiatric hospital, medical science and its practices, the mad and the madness.

In this article, we explore the development of pathological anatomy in the psychiatric field in Buenos Aires, Argentina, particularly in the Mercedes hospital beginning around 1900. The Argentine government, by means of Dr. Domingo Cabred, contracted German physician Christofried Jakob, through the Ministry of Foreign Relations, to take charge of the Laboratory of Clinical Psychiatry and Neurology at the Mercedes Hospital (1889-1904). To facilitate this work, a laboratory was constructed that was an exact replica of the laboratory of pathological anatomy developed in Germany. This work was critical to cementing the neurobiological school in Argentina and produced important followers of the biological approach to psychiatry. In this article, we investigate a part of the work that developed in this laboratory. Specifically, we focus on the registry of a population of patients who died and were subsequently autopsied in the hospital. We examine the diagnoses that were used to characterize this population and analyze the relationship between laboratory practice and the theory of anatomical pathology during this period. We show that laboratory practices – not just autopsy but also blood tests – were critical technologies to sustain a hygienic diagnostic framework in the hospital. Autopsies demonstrated the causal connection between changes in the anatomical-clinical body and psychopathology and thus, established the psychiatric field as a legitimate branch of medicine that produced scientific explanations for the social problematic of immigration at the turn of the century in Argentina.

This article aims to address aspects of the history of the divulgation of sciences in Brazil in the nineteenth century, through the analysis of the circulation of some translations into Portuguese of the works of French popularizer of science, Louis Figuier. His works, which were translated to different languages, received editions in Brazil and Portugal since late 1860. During this period, a model of popularization of science for non-specialists - working class, women and youth - with emphasis on applied science was gaining terrain. However, this model was also marked by limitations and discontinuities that reflect social issues in the passage to the twentieth century. This paper attempts to highlight the role of translators and editors, understood as mediators of science, whose projects of social reform was primarily focused in popular instruction.

In the first half of the c.19, hygienic and therapeutic gymnastic techniques were established throughout Europe as a device of knowledge/power concerning care and control over the body that, on the one hand, allowed the development of professional medical exploitation and, on the other, served as a justification for implementing and legitimising physical education in schools. Through a process of the localising, selecting and interpreting of documents, the object of this paper is to identify the genealogy of such a device within the Spanish context. To this end, particular attention has been placed on the technical manifestations perceptible in both the conflicts and discourses on which this new professional space was constructed. Emphasis has been given to the constitutive doctrinal texture of gymnastics, whose mark–in terms of regularity, stability, moral and physical self-restraint–would be present in the foundational justifications of physical education in schools.

This research aims to explain the theoretical and clinical use of shock therapies in Argentine psychiatric field, particularly in the province of Buenos Aires between 1930 and 1970. It is argued that it is necessary to study the theoretical and clinical psychiatric work, in order to learn how psychiatrists interpreted mental pathology. Thus two distinct scenarios are analyzed: first academia, emphasizing on medical texts expressing discussions held at congresses, conferences, university chairs, and secondly in hospital settings, represented by a population of chronic patients in a hospital on the outskirts of the Capital Federal, the Esteves Hospital of Lomas de Zamora. The use of shock therapy in the hands of psychiatrists, changed the way of understanding madness and transformed the daily course of hospitals. Therefore, the presence of such therapies was relevant to legitimize the discipline, regardless of the “effectiveness” with patients.
本研究旨在解释休克疗法在阿根廷精神病学领域的理论和临床应用，特别是在1930年至1970年之间的布宜诺斯艾利斯省。认为有必要研究精神病学的理论和临床工作，以了解精神科医生如何解释精神病理。因此，分析了两种不同的情况:第一种是学术界，强调医学文本表达在大会、会议、大学主持会议上举行的讨论，第二种是医院环境，以首都联邦郊区医院的慢性病患者为代表，Lomas de Zamora的Esteves医院。精神科医生使用休克疗法，改变了人们对疯狂的理解，也改变了医院的日常治疗。因此，不管对患者的“有效性”如何，这种疗法的存在与该学科的合法性有关。

First detected in 1955, the Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF) is a serious acute viral illness located in an area of intensive agricultural activity. This article enquires into some of the recent lines of investigation with the purpose of analyzing how medical practices have continued or ceased to be implemented as well as determining whether the social groups identified as main risk groups of the AHF have seen any variation. In order to do this, a summary of the disease’s history has been made in addition to an investigation on the trajectory of the viral research laboratory that monopolized the research, production and distribution of the vaccine: the Maiztegui National Human Viral Disease Institute (INEVH). Based on primary as well as secondary sources and interviews with researchers and staff from the INEVH, we have studied its institutional career along with the conflicts that appeared in its development. These are associated with social and economic issues of the rural area where physicians, scientists and the affected population live and work.
