La docimasia pulmonar es una prueba muy útil en la actividad médica forense para investigar y diagnosticar la existencia de vida extrauterina del recién nacido, para establecer si el feto nació muerto o sufrió el delito de homicidio. Una cita repetida en algunos textos de Medicina Legal, de la cual no se menciona en ningún caso la fuente, mostró varias curiosidades al intentar verificarla. Las obras sobre Historia de la Medicina consultadas no lograron despejar las dudas sobre la veracidad del dato y tampoco agotan los temas tratados. Éste sería el caso de Galeno, cuya obra y personalidad tanta influencia tuvieron durante mil quinientos años de nuestra era y aún continúan generando controversias. No se halló ningún dato concreto sobre el conocimiento atribuido a Galeno de la docimasia pulmonar hidrostática, aunque tampoco se encontraron datos que rechacen categóricamente el aserto. Paradójicamente, las referencias históricas relacionadas con la mencionada docimasia en los textos de Medicina Legal no mencionan al holandés Jan Swammerdam, quien habría sido el que la describió y fundamentó
Hydrostatic pulmonary docimasy is a very useful test in forensic medical activity to investigate and diagnose the existence of extra-uterine life of the newborn, to determine whether the fetus was stillborn or was murdered. A repeated reference in some texts of Forensic Medicine, without mention of the source, showed several paradoxes when we tried to verify it. Books on the History of Medicine consulted failed to dispel doubts about the veracity of the data and did not go to the bottom of the issue. This is the case of Galen, whose work and personality had much influence during 1,500 years of our era and continues to generate controversy. No firm information was found about the knowledge Galen might have had on hydrostatic pulmonary docimasy; but no source categorically rejected the possibility. Paradoxically, the historical references on docimasy mentioned in the texts of Forensic Medicine fail to mention name of the Dutch Jan Swammerdam, who described and explained the method .

To analyze whether electrocardiographic alterations (ECGA) in patients with antibodies to Trypanosoma cruzi showed a patttern of familial aggregation, a sample of 379 young adults (166 men and 213 women) distributed in sibships, were assessed for the presence of anti-T.cruzi antibodies, and subjected to a complete clinical examination and a standard resting electrocardiogram (ECG). Positive T. cruzi serology was detected in 165 individuals, 48 of them showing an abnormal ECG (overall prevalence 29 por cento). One hundred and eleven seropositive individuals were distributed in 45 sibships, each of them constituted by more than one seropositive sib, with ECGA being present in 34 out of these patients. Seropositive subjects with ECGA were detected in 27 sibships. Since the index case within each sibship is counted exactly once, affected individuals selected at random as propositi were extracted to calculate the prevalence of ECGA among first degree relatives of probands. Abnormal ECGs were recorded in 7 out of 45 sibs yielding a prevalence that did not differ from estimations registered in the general population or seropositive sibs. Data from the present sample show no familial aggregation for the occurrence of ECGA in patients with T.cruzi infection.
