This study presents the developing convulsive therapy. Initially, the early types of convulsive therapy were used in Ancient Rome prolonged to the 18th century. The first half of this study reviews specific methods of convulsive therapy in the 19th century. There are focused on the research and achievements of László Meduna, who developed convulsive therapy by using camphor and cardiazol. Finally, the role and impact of Meduna, then the latest achievements of Ugo Cerletti and Lucio Bini are presented.

Dental impression provides an accurate layout of edentulous alveolar ridge or teeth upon which a denture, crown, inlay, or other prosthodontic devices can be built. Impression-taking has a 360-year-old history. This is part of the Encyclopedia of the History of Dentistry.

The topic of this study is the life and oeuvre of Hermann Boerhaave MD, the first famous polyhistor and professor of the 18th century at the Medical School of Leiden University. He was a descendant of a Calvinist priest family, had a multifarious career with an international reputation and among others he was in contact with Count Alexander Teleki and his wife, Countess Julia Bethlen, members of the higher aristocracy in Transylvania. Boerhaave treated, among his foreign patients, carefully and professionally also the young countess Julia who suffered from tuberculosis, and in his letters supported her by psychotherapy too. The couple Teleki-Bethlen enjoined an easy correspondence mediated by many Calvinist Transylvanian students at Leiden University. In this study, I used a number of contemporary letters and scientific German and English literature. In English research prof. Rina Knoeff’s NWO Vidi project (2012–2017, University of Groningen), and her e-mails and publications provided me with a significant support.

Caries is the most common pathological factor of dental diseases. Its definition was a serious problem for many millennia. In the 19th century, the research provided a paradigm shift of the decay theories by a number of variations as a real background of this condition. The spectrum was wide, with almost all the factors of multicausality. However, the outdated worm theory prevailing for thousands of years still held its shrinking positions in some theoretic definitions. Parallel, we can trace the influence of other new medical discoveries of the era e.g. Virchow's theory of cell pathology, or Pasteur's experiments on fermentation. They had a specific impact on the decay theories including also Koch's microbiological research and Billroth's discovery of Staphylococcus pyogenes. These influences changed fundamentally the scientific directives of caries theories.

Nomadic people having walked barefoot on uneven ground, had a perfect posture because they used their spines and bodies functionally every day. Today's man is hunching to a display while using smart devices, is struggling overweight, and has a sedentary lifestyle, making thus sick his body and soul alike. By exploding technology, the physical activity level of today's man has dropped dramatically. During the latest history of human evolution, we have left behind a very important thing: the motivation for moving. People are no longer as motivated to exercise for their stamina as they were used to in the past. The purpose of this study is to provide everyone with an interesting and detailed overview of the history and importance of therapeutic exercise, starting from its ancient origins, through the European and American gymnastics and physical education systems, to the development and spreading of yoga and therapeutic gymnastics today.

The science of neonatology started its proper development in the 1960s with technological advances in providing care for premature neonates. Parallel, the expansion of professional knowledge about prematurity gave hope for babies regarded earlier as ‘by-products’ of obstetrical wards. Through a number of technological achievements and an understanding of the pathophysiology of neonates, the survival of premature and sick babies became business as usual instead of being exceptional. This study provides insight into this complex development in specific fields simultaneously
