Inpatients at the St. John's General Hospital: Morbidity in Late 19th-Century Newfoundland and Labrador.

This research analyzes the role of the St. John's General Hospital in late nineteenth-century Newfoundland and Labrador using extant admission and discharge records from 17 May 1886 to 30 December 1899. Most individuals were discharged from the hospital as "cured" or "convalescent." Trauma, musculoskeletal issues, and respiratory diseases were the most common reasons for admission, with males significantly more likely to seek care for trauma, sexually transmitted infections, and kidney/bladder issues. Female inpatients were significantly more likely to be admitted for tumours/cancers, anemia, digestive issues, and issues concerning the female anatomy. Notable were the short hospital stays for tuberculosis, indicating the General played an important role before the founding of the St. John's Sanatorium. A snapshot of late nineteenth-century morbidity reveals the complex risks facing citizens of St. John's and beyond who sought care at the General, which played a key role in the rapidly modernizing medical ecosystem.

Hospital General de la Resurreción de Valladolid / Resurreccion Hospital of Valladolid

El Hospital General de la Resurrección, ha sido el hospital más importante de Valladolid y que estuvo en funcionamiento de la ciudad por más de tres siglos. Empezó ocupando un espacio muy peculiar como era la mancebía o zona de prostitución de Valladolid e incluso utilizando sus edificaciones. Su importancia fue en aumento al incorporar el mismo muchos de los hospitales menores que había en la ciudad, por lo que paso a llamarse general. Paso a atender los enfermos de la ciudad por lo que pasó a denominarse Municipal y posteriormente de la provincia como Provincial. Acogió la enseñanza de la Medicina por lo que fue Hospital Clínico y en determinados momentos actuó como Hospital Militar. Por su estado ruinoso fue derribado a finales del siglo XIX y sustituido por un nuevo hospital Provincial y Clínico. Se conserva del mismo algunas obras de arte perteneciente al mismo, en especial a su iglesia y parte de la fachada principal que se colocó al lado de la casa que habitó el escritor Miguel de Cervantes cerca del mismo y donde ambientó algún personaje de sus novelas

The General Hospital of the Resurrection, has been the most important hospital in Valladolid and was in operation in the city for more than three centuries. He began occupying a very peculiar space as was the mancebía or zone of prostitution of Valladolid and even using his buildings.

ABSTRACT: Objective To analyze the implications of in-service education for the exercise of disciplinary power of nurses in the creation of the continuing education service of the Hospital Geral de Bonsucesso (HGB). Method Social-historical study, whose sources were written documents and oral statements; Foucauldian discourse analysis was used. Results In-service education activities in the HGB went through two periods of discontinuity and were used as an instrument of disciplinary power exercised by hospital nurses, capable of controlling and organizing the institution's nursing service, providing basis for the creation of the Continuing Education service. Conclusion and implications for practice The creation of Continuing Education functioned as a device used by nurses with knowledge and power to execute disciplinary power, capable of subtly disciplining and training employees, avoiding attitudes contrary to the objectives of the nursing service, in an attempt to ensure its control and qualification. When reflecting on educational practices / continuing education it is stimulated the transformation of care based on the needs of Unified Health System (UHS) users, thus contributing to the quality of health services.

[Overview of the Development of Psychiatric Care in Karlovac - Due to the 50th Anniversary Since the Establishment of the Department of Neuropsychiatry in the General Hospital Karlovac (1969 - 2019)] / Pregled razvoja psihijatrijske sluzbe u Karlovcu ­ U povodu 50. godisnjice osnivanja Odjela za neuropsihijatriju Opce bolnice Karlovac (1969. ­ 2019.)

The newly established Department of neuropsychiatry of the Medical Center of Karlovac opened on November 3rd, 1969, thus enabling a comprehensive and modern approach to people with mental disorders. Prior to its opening, the first stage of the hospital in Svarca was completed. Up until that point, psychiatric care had been inadequate despite the enthusiasm of individuals, such as Dr. Andrija Stampar who worked in Karlovac in 1912 and 1913. The first decade of the Department's work marked the overload of "mixing" psychiatric and neurological cases, as well as the leadership of the scholar, Prim. Dr. Drazen Neimarevic. The establishment of separate departments in 1980 showed improvement in the working conditions, and further steps were made with the formation of day hospitals for alcoholism and psychotherapy. Better access to patients was achieved due to the independence of psychiatric care in 1994. The start of the 21st century saw innovative breakthroughs with the opening of the first unit for treating sexual disorders in Croatia and the establishment of one of the first mobile psychiatric teams within the national implementation of Community-based psychiatry model. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Department of neuropsychiatry in the General Hospital Karlovac, it is important to give thanks to everyone who contributed to the development of psychiatric care. Following the foundations that were laid, it is necessary to adapt and improve the approaches to those with mental disorders, with the aim to provide recovery and destigmatization. Finally, following the development in Croatian psychiatry and parallel activities in similar institutions, the overview of "psychiatry in Karlovac" can be used as a representative sample of the development in other institutions and similar county/regional centers.

As good as it gets: an empirical study on mentally-ill patients and their stay at a general hospital in Sweden, 1896-1905.

General hospital care and treatment of mentally ill patients in a Swedish town was studied in records for 503 patients, 1896-1905. Restraint was extremely rare; 65% left the hospital as healthy or improved. Non-psychotic and alcoholic patients spent fewer days in hospital than patients with psychosis or dementia. There was no evidence of a social status bias. For 36% of the patients a certificate for mental hospital care was issued, with additional information. The cause of illness was stated as unknown for 42% of these patients; adverse circumstances were recorded for 18%. Heredity for mental illness was found in 50% of the patients, particularly in those with mania. Patients with a higher social status were underrepresented.

[Professor dr. Zdravko Kucic (1910-1961), Promoter of the Hospital Service in Post-War Rijeka] / Prof. Dr. Zdravko Kucic (1910. ­ 1961.), organizator bolnicke sluzbe u poslijeratnoj Rijeci

Dr Zdravko Kucic was born in Bakar on 11 April 1910. In1928 he finished the Gymnasium in Susak and graduated from the School of Medicine, University of Belgrade in1934. After completing the internship in Zagreb, he worked at the General Public Hospital "King Alexander I" in Susak as a secondary doctor of medicine and later as an assistant at the Internal Department. In 1940 dr Kucic became the specialist of Internal medicine. Until August 1943 he worked at Susak and Rijeka Department of Internal Medicine. Upon the unconditional surrender of fascist Italy in September 1943 dr Kucic joined the partisans in the National Liberation War (1941-1945) performing the most important duties at military sanitation departments. After demobilization from the Yugoslav Army in January 1946, he was appointed Head of Internal and Infectious Diseases Department in General Hospital "Susak" and in 1948 the Head of Department of Internal Medicine in General Hospital "Rijeka". In 1949 he was awarded the title "Primarius" of the Internal Medicine Department and the Director of the General Hospital "Rijeka". Dr Kucic was a prominent figure on the political and social scene. Among many of his duties in the bodies of public authorities, he was also the head of the Healthcare and Social Welfare Committee in the City Council of Rijeka. For many years he was the main organizer of the post-war public hospital health in the City and County of Rijeka. Dr Kucic was particularly responsible for the founding of the Faculty of Medicine in Rijeka in 1955. In 1958 he was elected as an assistant professor and in 1959 as an associate professor at the Department of Internal Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Rijeka. He died in Rijeka on 21 October 1961.

Children in the London: Inpatient Care in a Voluntary General Hospital.

The presence of children in English voluntary hospitals during the eighteenth century has only recently come under academic scrutiny. This research examines the surviving admission records of the London Hospital, which consistently record inpatient ages, to illuminate the hospital stays of infant and child patients and examine the morbidity of children during the long eighteenth century. Traumatic cases were the most common category of admission. The proportion of trauma cases admitted to the London Hospital was higher than in provincial English child patient cohorts, potentially reflecting the differential risks faced by rural and urban children. In most cases of traumatic injury the inpatients stayed in hospital long enough for significant fracture healing to have occurred. Understanding the conditions surrounding children's admission to hospital, their length of stay, the result of their stay, and which medical issues drove their parents or guardians to seek medical attention for them are critical to illuminating the morbidity of children during the long eighteenth century.

Mental illness in Sweden (1896-1905) reflected through case records from a local general hospital.

Mental illness in a hospital in a medium-sized town in Sweden was studied. Consecutive case records from 1896 to 1905, and also from 2011, were selected. In the historical sample, neurasthenia was the most common diagnosis, followed by affective disorders and alcohol abuse. ICD-10 diagnoses corresponded well with the historical diagnoses. Melancholia resembled modern criteria for depression. Mania, insania simplex and paranoia indicated more severe illness. Abuse was more common among men and hysteria among women. Those with a medical certificate for mental hospital care were very ill and showed no gender difference. There were no diagnoses for abuse, but 17% had a high level of alcohol consumption. The pattern of signs and symptoms displayed by patients does not appear to change with time.

No. 3 Canadian General Hospital (McGill) in the Great War: service and sacrifice.

SUMMARY: During the Great War, McGill University fielded a full general hospital to care for the wounded and sick among the Allied forces fighting in France and Belgium. The unit was designated No. 3 Canadian General Hospital (McGill) and included some of the best medical minds in Canada. Because the unit had a relationship with Sir William Osler, who was a professor at McGill from 1874 to 1885, the unit received special attention throughout the war, and legendary Canadian medical figures, such as John McCrae, Edward Archibald and Francis Scrimger, VC, served on its staff. The unit cared for thousands of victims of the war, and its trauma care advanced through the clinical innovation and research demanded by the nature of its work. Although No. 3 Canadian General Hospital suffered tragedies as well, such as the deaths of John McCrae and Osler's only son Revere, by the war's end the McGill hospital was known as one of the best medical units within the armies in France.

Between history, art and medicine: the Dresden-Friedrichstadt hospital, its Neptune fountain and connections to Vienna.

The Dresden-Friedrichstadt hospital originated from Marcolini's summer palace. It was founded in 1845 and opened in 1849. It is a place where history and art of European importance mixes with technical and medical innovations. We reflect on the meetings of Napoleon Bonaparte and Metternich in 1812, the creation of the famous Neptune fountain by Longuelune and Matielli and two outstanding physicians of the 19th century, the surgeon Eduard Zeis, who coined the medical term "plastic surgery", and Maximilian Nitze, inventor of the first "modern" cystoscope and the father of urology.
