La pediatría en las Jornadas Internacionales de Cine Médico de San Sebastián / Pediatrics at the International Medical Film Festival of San Sebastián

Introducción: Las Jornadas Internacionales de Cine Médico de San Sebastián fueron una actividad científica y divulgativa del cine médico (22 ediciones) cuando el acceso a estas proyecciones era muy dificultoso (1969-1991). El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar la presencia de los temas pediátricos y su repercusión en dichas jornadas. Método: Revisión de la prensa local entre los años 1968 y 1980, los programas de mano entre los años 1981 y 1991, los boletines informativos y las memorias de las Jornadas. Resultados: De las 899 películas entre cine y vídeo presentadas en las Jornadas, 103 fueron de tema pediátrico, lo que supone un 11,4% de las mismas. Se analizan los premios, los ciclos especiales de películas y los ciclos de conferencias relativas a la atención a la infancia y la adolescencia. Conclusiones: A pesar de que la orientación de las Jornadas era eminentemente quirúrgica, la presencia de la pediatría, sobre todo en su vertiente de educación sanitaria, fue importante. La educación sexual, la psicología y la discapacidad infantil fueron los temas más presentes (AU)

Introduction: San Sebastian International Medical Film Journeys were a scientific and educational activity of medical film (22 editions) when the access to these projections was very difficult. The objective of the present study is to analyze the presence of Pediatric subjects and their impact on these journeys. Method: Review of the local press (years 1968-1980), the programs hand (years 1981-1991), newsletters and the memories of the journeys. Results: 899 movies, film or video, were presented in the Journeys. One hundred and three of them were about Pediatric subject, representing 11.4%. We are going to analyze them awards, special cycles of movies and conferences. Conclusions: The orientation of these journeys was eminently surgical, but the presence of the Pediatrics was important, above all in his shed of education health. The themes sex education, psychology, and child disability were the most present (AU)

Discurso de las Armas y las Ciencias: El Coronel Médico D. Antonio Casares Gil (1871-1929) / Discourse on Arms and Sciences: Medical Colonel D. Antonio Casares Gil (1871-1929)

Revisamos la vida y obra científica de D. Antonio Casares Gil (1871-1929), siguiendo una línea cronológica desde su nacimiento en Santiago de Compostela, su paso por Barcelona, la guerra de Cuba, Madrid y la Coruña. Con ello intentamos plantear, simultáneamente, su quehacer profesional asistencial y científico-militar, relacionándolos con sus actividades civiles y académicas. A pesar de la diferencia de métodos y objetivos de la medicina y la botánica, gracias a Laín y Albarracín, conseguimos encontrar un nexo de unión, que podría explicar la dedicación y aptitudes de Casares para ambas ciencias, en el paralelismo entre species morborum y species plantarum, establecido por el gran clínico Thomas Sydenham, padre de la nosología moderna. También hemos fijado la posición de Antonio Casares tanto en la Sanidad militar española como europea, ya que estuvo comisionado en ejércitos extranjeros por el gobierno; como en el concierto de los botánicos nacionales e internacionales. Dado que fue un gran trabajador, exento de obligaciones familiares directas, en su caso, vida y obra se confunden casi por completo

We review the life and scientific labour of Antonio Casares Gil (1871-1929), following a timeline from his birth at Santiago de Compostela, passing through his stay at Barcelona, his intervention in the Spanish-American War, and also referring to his labour in Madrid and La Coruña. It is our intention to present, simultaneously, both his welfare and scientific-militar task and his civil academical activities. Despite the differences between medical and botanic methods and goals we manage to find -thanks to Laín and Albarracín- a nexus which could explain the devotion and ability of Casares for both sciences in the parallelism between species morborum and species planctarum, which was stablished by the famous clinic Thomas Sydenham, father of modern nosology. We also fixed the position of Antonio Casares in both, the Spanish and European Military Health, given that he was commissioned in foreign armies by the government and took part in the concert of national and international botanists. Since he was a hard worker, free of direct family obligations, if any, life and work get confused in his case almost completely

Tal como éramos. En el centenario del Primer Congreso Español de Pediatría de Palma de Mallorca (1914-2014) / The way we were. On the centenary of the first Spanish Congress of Paediatrics in Palma de Mallorca (1914-2014)

Entre los días 19 y 25 de abril de 1914 se celebró en Palma de Mallorca el Primer Congreso Español de Pediatría, bajo el lema «Proteged a los niños». La especialidad se había desgajado hacía pocos años de su secular vinculación con la Obstetricia y la Ginecología, tanto en su aspecto docente como asistencial. Con las cátedras de Enfermedades de la Infancia recién creadas, en cierto modo, este Congreso significaba la puesta de largo de la Pediatría en nuestro país. El Prof. Martínez Vargas, catedrático en Barcelona, fue el presidente y el alma del Congreso. Era preciso hacer frente a una elevadísima tasa de mortalidad infantil. El Congreso respondió a aquella demanda social y sanitaria en la que participaron más de 300 pediatras, con representantes extranjeros de Bélgica, Francia, Rusia e Hispanoamérica. Las actividades se distribuyeron en 4 secciones: Puericultura, Medicina Infantil, Cirugía e Higiene, y acreditados profesores impartieron conferencias magistrales sobre los temas de la patología infantil más acuciantes de la época. Cien años después, lo que hoy somos es el fruto recogido de quienes nos precedieron; unos fueron figuras brillantes de la pediatría y otros, la mayoría, pediatras anónimos. Consagraron sus vidas, su ciencia y la mejor de sus sonrisas al cuidado del niño. Así éramos, y así somos. Con satisfacción y legítimo orgullo, es un honor, para el Grupo de Historia de la Pediatría y Documentación de la AEP, celebrar esta conmemoración centenaria en el marco de Anales de Pediatría

Between the 19th and 25th April 1914, the First Spanish Congress of Paediatrics was held in Palma de Mallorca under the slogan ''Protect the Children''. The specialty had broken away a few years earlier from its secular connection with Obstetrics and Gynaecology, both in its teaching aspect as well as regarding healthcare. With the newly created Chairs in Childhood Diseases, in a way this Congress meant the coming-of age and debut int society of paediatrics in our country. Prof. Martínez Vargas, a university professor in Barcelona, was the Chairman, and soul of the congress. There was a need to face a very high rate of infant mortality. The Congress responded to that social and sanitary/health demand with the participation of over three hundred pediatricians, including foreign representatives from Belgium, France, Russia and Latin America. The activities were divided into four sections: Childcare, Child Medicine, Surgery and Health, and accredited lecturers gave master classes on the most pressing issuesof child pathology of the time. One hundred years on, what we are today is the fruit gatheredby those who preceded us. Some were brilliant figures in paediatrics and others, the majority, anonymous paediatricians. They dedicated their lives, their science and their best smile to child care. The way we were and the way we are. With legitimate pride and satisfaction, it is an honour for the Group on the History of Paediatrics and AEP Documentation to celebrate this centennial commemoration in the framework of the Annals of Paediatrics

Bibliografía española de algunos síndromes malformativos. Las primeras descripciones / Malformation syndromes in the spanish literature: The first descriptions

Introducción: Los síndromes malformativos o dismórficos son entidades que se definen por la asociación característica de un conjunto de malformaciones mayores y menores que, generalmente, tienen un origen genético. Hemos investigado las primeras descripciones españolas de un amplio número de entidades sindrómicas. Material y métodos: Se partió de la definición que aparece en un tratado clásico sobre el tema. Entre los 60 síndromes escogidos, se estudiaron, al menos, 2 artículos de cada entidad entre los publicados en España y el primero en el tiempo que figura en el Índice Médico Español. Para los años previos a 1970, se amplió la búsqueda en PubMed. Resultados: Se han reunido 64 artículos que corresponden a 58 síndromes. Cuatro artículos se escribieron durante la primera mitad del siglo XX . En la década de los setenta aparecieron casi la mitad de los trabajos (n = 30). Los trabajos se publicaron en 10 revistas pediátricas españolas, en 9 españolas no pediátricas, en 3 pediátricas no españolas y en 2 no pediátricas y no españolas. Las revistas con más artículos publicados fueron Anales de Pediatría y Revista Española de Pediatría. Los hospitales que firmaron artículos con más frecuencia fueron La Paz de Madrid y el Clínico de Barcelona. El resto de los trabajos se escribieron en 30 hospitales pediátricos españoles más y en 2 extranjeros. El número de autores se fue incrementando con el paso del tiempo. Conclusiones: Aunque con posibles limitaciones, hemos localizado las que pueden ser las primeras descripciones de 58 síndromes, entre los 60 escogidos inicialmente (AU)

Introduction: Malformation or dysmorphic syndromes are conditions that are defined by the combination of a set of major and minor malformations that generally have a genetic origin. We investigated the early Spanish descriptions of a large number of sydromes. Material and methods: We started the study from the definition in a classic treatise on the subject. Among the 60 selected syndromes studied, at least two articles of each syndrome among those published in Spain and for the first time were listed in the Spanish Medical Index. For years prior to 1970, it expanded The search was expanded to PubMed, for the years before1970.Results: We collected 64 articles that referred to 58 syndromes. Four articles were written during the first half of the twentieth century. Almost half of the works (n = 30) appeared in the 1970’s. The papers were published in ten Spanish pediatric, nine Spanish non pediatric, three pediatric non-Spanish and two non-Spanish non-pediatric Journals. The Journals with the most articles published were Anales de Pediatría y Revista Española de Pediatría. The hospitals where the articles originate more often were Hospital La Paz, Madrid and Hospital Clinic, Barcelona. The rest of the works were written in 30 pediatric hospitals and two more in non-Spanish hospitals. The number of authors increased with the passage of time. Conclusions: Although there were potential limitations, we have identified what may be the first descriptions of 58 syndromes, among the 60 chosen initially (AU)
