ABSTRACT
Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev was a Russian innovative neuroscientist, extraordinary in the study, diagnosis, and research in the fields of neurology, psychology, morphology, physiology, and psychiatry. Considering the ample and multifaceted scientific feats, only some are touched in a very brief manner. However, it is necessary to highlight his contributions to neurology, with the description of structures, signs and syndromes, to physiology, including reflexology, which later underpinned behaviorism, to psychology, including objective psychology and suggestion. His accomplishments and legacy remained until the present days. Some comments about the scenery that involved his death are also presented.
Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev foi um neurocientista russo inovador, extraordinário no estudo, diagnóstico, e pesquisa nas áreas da neurologia, psicologia, morfologia, fisiologia e psiquiatria. Considerando seus feitos científicos amplos e multifacetados, apenas alguns são tocados de um modo muito abreviado. Entretanto, é necessário realçar suas contribuições à neurologia, com a descrição de estruturas, sinais e síndromes, à fisiologia, compreendendo a reflexologia, que mais tarde fundamentou o behaviorismo, à psicologia, incluindo a psicologia objetiva e a sugestão. Suas realizações e legado se mantiveram até a presente data. Alguns comentários sobre o cenário que envolveu sua morte também são apresentados.

Mozart junto con Bach, Handel y Beethoven, es uno de los mayores músicos de nuestra historia. Sin embargo existe mucho de leyenda y misterio alrededor de 105 eventos y factores que rodearon su muerte. La siguiente revisión analiza la hipótesis más aceptada sobre la etiología de la enfermedad de Mozart, la cual está basada en evidencia actualizada extraída de literatura biográfica científica. Considerando los datos epidemiológicos de Viena en esos tiempos, y los registros médicos de las atenciones dadas a Mozart, es planteable que sufría de complicaciones derivadas de la Fiebre Reumática, afectando la función renal con glomerulonefritis crónica y finalmente un accidente vascular hemorrágico.
Mozart remains among Bach, Handel and Beethoven, as one of the greatest musicians of the whole history. However, still there is a lot of legend and mystery regarding the faro surrounding his death. In this review, based on current evidence by scientific literature and authoritative biographies, the most accepted hypothesis respecting the etiology of Mozarts disease is analyzed. Considering the epidemiologic data of Viena at that time and the reports of the physicians who gave the musician last medical support suggests that Mozart suffered from complications from a rheumatic fever affecting his kidneys with chronic glomerulonephritis and a final hemorrhagic stroke.
