El periodismo medico en la periferia española durante el primer tercio del siglo XX: aproximación a a la biografía y obra de José Sánchez Pozuelos (Murcia, C. 1885-1936) / The medical journalism in the spanish periphery during the first thirs of the twentieth century: an approach to the biography and works of José Sánchez Pozuelos (Murcia, c. 1885-1936)

Se estudia la trayectoria biográfica y la contribución de José Sánchez Pozuelos (Murcia, c. 1885-1936) al periodismo médico español del primer tercio del siglo XX, una época que en Murcia, como en el resto de España, fue un período de resurgir cultural y científico manifestado, entre otras cosas, por la edición de numerosas revistas médicas que pretendieron difundir entre los profesionales la producción científica más relevante, nacional y extranjera. En ese marco el médico José Sánchez Pozuelos, perteneciente a la burguesía murciana que detentaba el poder político local, e identificado con ideologías de carácter conservador y religioso, interesado al mismo tiempo por sacar del atraso a su tierra, fundó y dirigió Murcia Médica (1915-1918) y Estudios Médicos (1920, 1924-34), revistas que se convirtieron en la herramienta de difusión de la actividad de la Real Academia de Medicina de Murcia, pero también de otros profesionales españoles, y de los trabajos más relevantes procedentes de diversas publicaciones nacionales y extranjeras; Estudios Médicos llegó a ser además la revista médica nacional de mayor tirada. El ambiente de inestabilidad social que precedió a la sublevación militar de 1936 y el enfrentamiento bélico que le siguió truncaron el desarrollo de estas publicaciones y de los profesionales que las impulsaron (AU)

The biographical career of the physician José Sánchez Pozuelos and his contribution to the medical journalism in the first third of the twentieth century have been studied. In Murcia, as in the rest of Spain, this was a period of cultural and scientific excellence manifested, among other things, by the publication of many medical journals with the aim of disseminating the most relevant scientific production, the national as well as the foreign one. In this context, doctor José Sánchez Pozuelos who was belonging to the bourgeoisie that held the political local power and was also identified with conservative and religious ideologies as well as concerned with overcoming the backwardness of his homeland, founded and directed Murcia Médica (1915-1918) and Estudios Médicos (1920, 1924-1934). Both journals became the disseminating tool for the activity of the Murcia ́s Royal Academy of Medicine, but also for other Spanish professionals and for the most relevant papers from various national and international publications; Estudios Médicos also came to be the Spanish medical journal with the largest circulation. The atmosphere of social unrest that preceded the military uprising of 1936 and the war that followed it truncated the development of these publications and the careers of the professionals that promoted them (AU)

Tongue and lip frenectomy in Spanish medical texts of the 16th-18th centuries.

The frena of the tongue and lip are normal structures of the buccal cavity, and surgical resection is only necessary in cases of hypertrophy. This article looks at medical texts of the Early Modern Era to analyze the origins and quality of our knowledge on this topic and examine any therapeutic measures proposed. This review shows that while the indications for carrying out tongue frenectomy are very similar to those today (speech and breastfeeding difficulties), those for carrying out a lip frenectomy are very different. Interestingly, apart from purely surgical or medicinal treatments, some authors indicated the need to complement such treatment with educational intervention and what can only be called basic speech therapy.
