Historia de la medicina chilena: ¿Cómo, dónde y cuándo habría nacido la cirugía moderna chilena? / ¿How, where and when modern chilean surgery would have been born?

The challenge of knowing the events surrounding the modern origins of the different specialties of Chilean medicine should be of interest to the specialists of these specialties. Thus, in the case of surgery, fortunately in Chile there are testimonial documents, which reviewed and analyzed can suggest this question, mentioning the one who today is considered the world father of modern surgery, whose important surgical teachings were delivered to Chilean disciples who introduced it in our country. In the context of the War of the Pacific, in the year 1879, a "blood hospital" was built in Santiago, donated by Domingo Matte, a Chilean politician, to receive the many war wounded who were transported from the north. It was Dr. Manuel Barros Borgoño, a young surgeon recently graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in Paris, with a degree revalidated in Chile, who in 1880 took charge of this hospital, and together with his team, began to apply his experience in listerian methods learned in Paris from his teacher Dr. Just Lucas Champonniere. Just Lucas Champonniere, giving beginning to the Chilean antiseptic surgery, managing to reduce the mortality of surgeries to 3%, compared to 80% of other Chilean hospitals that refused to change, and continued with the use of sponge soaked in cerato (lard).

El final del Hospital Rawson y la diáspora finochiettista. A 45 años de estos hechos / The end of the Rawson Hospital and the finochiettista diaspora. 45 years after these events

La Asociación Médica Argentina (AMA) reconoce el valor de la Escuela Quirúrgica de los hermanos Finochietto y por tal motivo efectúa un homenaje anual desde el año 2002. En este artículo se hace una breve reseña histórica del Hospital Rawson, donde se inició y desarrolló dicha escuela. Se resaltan dos hechos: por un lado, el término "diáspora finochiettista", porque la dispersión de los cirujanos fue obligada y tuvieron que abandonar su lugar de procedencia original, el Hospital Rawson y, por el otro, que dicho nosocomio nació y murió como consecuencia de movimientos políticos cívico-militares. (AU)

The Argentine Medical Association (AMA) recognizes the value of the Surgical School of the Finochietto brothers, and for this reason has paid an annual tribute since 2002. Tthis article provides a brief historical review of the Rawson Hospital, where the school was initiated and developed. Two facts are highlighted: on the one hand, the term "Finochiettista diaspora" because the dispersal of the surgeons was forced and they had to leave their original place of origin, the Rawson Hospital; and on the other hand, the fact that this hospital was born and died as a consequence of civil-military political movements.

El hospital y el enfoque de derechos / The hospital and rights approach

La pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 puso de forma abrupta al sistema de salud en la agenda pública. Evidenciando sus problemas y requiriendo acciones de emergencia para poder dar cuenta del desafío de responder social y sanitariamente a esta crisis. La respuesta hospitalaria fue el eje y centro de atención de la pandemia, casi con exclusividad. Relegando las otras posibilidades o dispositivos asistenciales, como el primer nivel de atención y la salud comunitaria. Por lo tanto, nos proponemos reflexionar sobre esta organización sanitaria, tan arraigada en el modelo médico social y el marco del enfoque de derechos. Definiremos el hospital, describiremos sus antecedentes, sus características y propondremos como repensarlo críticamente para aportar a su crecimiento en el marco del enfoque de derechos. La salud como derecho es el marco legal, político y teórico que proponemos para abordar esta reflexión y al hospital, tanto como singularidad histórica como pluralidad o multiplicidad de organizaciones en función de cada contexto donde se desarrolla, como una organización social y sanitaria que formar parte de un conjunto de organizaciones y políticas destinadas a garantizar ese derecho (AU)

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic abruptly put the health system on the public agenda. Evidencing their problems and requiring emergency actions to be able to account for the challenge of responding socially and healthily to this crisis. The hospital response was the axis and center of attention of the pandemic, almost exclusively. Relegating the other possibilities or assistance devices, such as the first level of care and community health. Therefore, we intend to reflect on this health organization, so rooted in the social medical model and the framework of the rights approach. We will define the hospital, describe its background, its characteristics and propose how to rethink it critically to contribute to its growth within the framework of the rights approach. Health as a right is the legal, political and theoretical framework that we propose to address this reflection and the hospital, both as a historical singularity and as a plurality or multiplicity of organizations depending on each context where it is developed, as a social and health organization that is part of a set of organizations and policies aimed at guaranteeing that right (AU)

"Hipnóticos" na metrópole: africanos no Hospital Colonial de Lisboa nas primeiras décadas do século XX / "Hypnotics" in the metropolis: Africans in the Colonial Hospital of Lisbon during the early twentieth century

Resumo No início do século XX, alguns médicos portugueses foram à África estudar a chamada doença do sono. Entre eles estava Ayres Kopke, membro da primeira missão médica à África Ocidental Portuguesa. De regresso a Lisboa, o professor da Escola de Medicina Tropical continuou suas pesquisas, inclusive por meio da observação de doentes trazidos para a metrópole. Desde 1903, as repartições de saúde nas colônias estavam incumbidas de enviar doentes com determinadas patologias exóticas para o Hospital Colonial de Lisboa. Com base em documentos desse hospital, incluindo fotografias dos doentes, então chamados de hipnóticos, o artigo aborda a importância das experiências com humanos na metrópole para o avanço da medicina tropical durante o colonialismo.

Abstract At the start of the twentieth century, some Portuguese physicians traveled to Africa to study sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis). One was Ayres Kopke, a member of the first medical mission to Portuguese West Africa and professor at the School of Tropical Medicine. After returning to Lisbon, Kopke continued his research, which included observation of patients brought to the metropolis. Starting in 1903, health departments in the colonies were responsible for sending patients with certain exotic diseases to the Colonial Hospital of Lisbon. Based on documents from this hospital including photographs of patients (who at that time were called "hypnotics"), this article discusses the importance of human experiments in Lisbon for advances in tropical medicine during the colonial period.

O Hospital Proletário João Pessoa: limites e possibilidades para a saúde do trabalhador (Paraíba, anos 1930) / The Hospital Proletário in João Pessoa: limits and possibilities for worker healthcare (Paraíba, 1930s)

Resumo Discutimos a tentativa de organização do Hospital Proletário na capital da Paraíba nos anos 1930. Para tanto, problematizamos a cobertura do jornal A União sobre esse episódio. O envolvimento de diferentes atores - trabalhadores, associações e médicos - revela a emergência de uma nova forma de pensar e praticar as políticas de saúde. Conforme o projeto varguista de construção nacional, tais ações visavam à formação de trabalhadores saudáveis, aptos para o mercado e úteis para a nação. Apesar de seu fracasso, o projeto do hospital evidencia as diferentes concepções sobre a saúde dos trabalhadores na Era Vargas. Apropriamo-nos dos conceitos de "interdependência sanitária", "medicina social", "cidadania regulada" e "trabalhismo".

Abstract We discuss the attempt to establish the Hospital Proletário in the capital of the state of Paraíba in the 1930s. To this end, we problematized the coverage in the newspaper A União on this episode. The involvement of different actors - workers, associations and physicians - reveals the emergence of a new way of thinking and implementing healthcare policies. According to the Vargas government's national construction plan, actions like this were intended to ensure healthy workers - ready for the market and useful for the country. Despite its failure, the hospital project provided evidence of the different concepts of worker health during the Vargas Era. We identified the concepts of "health interdependence," "social medicine," "regulated citizenship" and the "labor movement."

La atención a la salud en Mesoamérica antes y después de 1519 / Health care in Mesoamerica before and after 1519

Resumen En este ensayo se discute la situación de la atención a la salud en Mesoamérica antes e inmediatamente después de 1519. En los primeros 50 años después de la Conquista, los españoles hicieron un uso muy extensivo de la medicina náhuatl. Sin embargo, con el tiempo, el ámbito de influencia de esta tradición se vio limitado debido a la rápida imposición de un sistema de atención muy diferente que poco aprovechó, entre otras cosas, la riqueza terapéutica de la medicina prehispánica.

Abstract This paper discusses the situation of healthcare in Mesoamerica before and immediately after 1519. In the first 50 years after the Conquest, the Spaniards made extensive use of Nahuatl medicine. However, the influence of this medical tradition was limited due to the rapid imposition of a very different medical system which took little advantage of, among other things, the therapeutic wealth of pre-Hispanic healing traditions.

Fontes para uma história do Hospital de Manguinhos / Sources for a history of the Manguinhos Hospital

Resumo O estudo apresenta fontes para uma história do Hospital de Manguinhos, atual Instituto Nacional de Infectologia, reunidas, em sua maior parte no Departamento de Arquivo e Documentação da Casa de Oswaldo Cruz, mas também no acervo constituído na Direção do próprio instituto (em caixas classificadas de maneira ainda informal), assim como na hemeroteca da Biblioteca Nacional, nas Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz e no Centro Técnico Audiovisual do Ministério da Cultura. Apresenta, também, uma tipologia dessas fontes, assim como revela seu potencial analítico para a história das ciências da saúde, mais especificamente, da pesquisa clínica, da medicina e da saúde pública no Brasil, entre 1918 e 2018.

Abstract The present study presents sources for a history of the Manguinhos Hospital (today the Brazilian National Institute of Infectious Diseases), which for the most part are found in the Archives and Documentation Department of the Casa de Oswaldo Cruz, but also in the administration's own collection (in boxes which are still classified informally) as well as the collection of the Brazilian National Library, in the Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, and in the Brazilian Ministry of Culture's Audiovisual Technical Center. It also presents a typology of these sources, and shows their analytical potential for the history of health sciences and more specifically, of clinical research, medicine, and public health in Brazil between 1918 and 2018.

Conflitos, assistência e redes de poder em torno da fundação da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Campos dos Goytacazes, 1786-1795 / Conflicts, welfare, and power networks in the founding of Santa Casa de Misericórdia of Campos dos Goytacazes, 1786-1795

Resumo O artigo propõe uma discussão a respeito da fundação da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Campos dos Goytacazes e seus desdobramentos na sociedade local, além de um breve estudo sobre os dois primeiros provedores e suas redes (1792-1795). A instituição foi inaugurada em 1792, no auge das transformações ocorridas na Europa. Em Portugal, o intendente-geral da Polícia de dona Maria I, Diogo Inácio de Pina Manique, planejava reformas à frente da administração da saúde pública. Analisam-se, dentro desse contexto, as questões que motivaram a instalação da referida Misericórdia e suas relações com as dinâmicas sociais e políticas típicas de Antigo Regime, ainda enraizadas na sociedade colonial e que adentrariam o século XIX.

Abstract A discussion is proposed concerning the founding of Santa Casa de Misericórdia of Campos dos Goytacazes and its ramifications in local society, as well as a brief study of its first two directors and their networks (1792-1795). The institution was opened in 1792 at the height of upheavals in Europe. In Portugal, the chief of police under Maria I, Diogo Inácio de Pina Manique, planned reforms for the public health administration. An analysis is proposed of the issues that motivated the founding of said institution and how it related to the social and political dynamics typical of the ancien régime, which were still deep-rooted in colonial society, and which remained intact into the nineteenth century.

História da assistência hospitalar em São Paulo: a subvenção do Estado às misericórdias paulistas / History of hospital care in São Paulo: State grants to the misericórdia charitable associations

Resumo O artigo analisa como as santas casas de misericórdia do estado de São Paulo foram subvencionadas pelos governos municipais, provincial e estadual na passagem do século XIX para o XX. Para tanto, são discutidas as dotações orçamentárias realizadas de 1838 a 1915, com o fim de avaliar o repasse e a ampliação de verbas nesse ínterim. É possível notar que foi criada uma rede de assistência fortemente apoiada pelo Estado, mas efetivada pela assistência filantrópica. Essa rede de atendimento hospitalar permanece com o mesmo formato até pelo menos o primeiro terço do século XX, contexto em que se incluíam as misericórdias criadas pelo interior do estado paulista.

Abstract This article investigates how the santas casas de misericórdia charitable associations in the state of São Paulo were subsidized by the municipal, provincial, and state governments at the turn of the twentieth century. Budget appropriations from 1838 to 1915 were examined to evaluate these charitable grants as well as the growth in funding during this period. While a care network created with strong state backing, it was put into action by philanthropic assistance. This network of hospital care retained the same format until at least the first third of the twentieth century, and included misericórdia establishments created within the interior of the state of São Paulo.

A assistência psiquiátrica a crianças anormais no Hospital Colônia Sant'Ana (Santa Catarina, Brasil, 1940) / Psychiatric care for abnormal children at the Hospital Colônia Sant'Ana (Santa Catarina, Brazil, 1940s)

Resumo O artigo apresenta pesquisa centrada na assistência psiquiátrica destinada a crianças e jovens ditos anormais em Santa Catarina. Inicialmente, analisa-se o surgimento da ideia de "criança perigosa", ou da categoria "menor", a partir da discussão de Foucault sobre a noção de "indivíduo perigoso", para então abordarem-se as dificuldades apresentadas na institucionalização da minoridade anormal em Santa Catarina. A seguir, são questionados os vínculos existentes entre as teorias que permitem identificar as crianças ditas anormais com as ideias eugênicas. Por fim, problematiza-se a dinâmica institucional que envolvia os menores ditos anormais internados no Hospital Colônia Sant'Ana na década de 1940.

Abstract Research into the psychiatric care for so-called abnormal children and youths in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina is presented. The emergence of the idea of the "dangerous child" or the category of "minor" is discussed, drawing on Foucault's discussion of the notion of the "dangerous individual." This is followed by a presentation of the difficulties faced in the institutionalization of abnormal minors in the aforementioned state. The links between theories that enable so-called abnormal children to be identified and the ideas of eugenics are then questioned. Finally, the institutional dynamics involving so-called abnormal children admitted to the Hospital Colônia Sant'Ana in the 1940s are scrutinized.

Hospitais e saúde no oitocentos: diálogos entre Brasil e Portugal / Hospitals and health in the eighties: dialogues between Brazil and Portugal

A proposta deste volume ancora-se no estudo do neoclassicismo, mais especificamente na sua aplicação aos hospitais construídos no século XIX, tanto no Brasil quanto em Portugal, na sua maioria adaptada ao modelo de arquitetura assistencial existente à época. Associados às funções das entidades beneméritas, como as Misericórdias e as Beneficências Portuguesas, poucos eram os hospitais construídos de raiz ou projetados para tal fim. Assim, o livro sintetiza estudos sobre arquitetura, urbanismo e patrimônio cultura e saúde

Hospital San Juan de Dios: actor y víctima de las políticas públicas en Colombia / Hospital San Juan de Dios: actor and victim of the public policies in Colombia

RESUMEN En este artículo narramos y analizamos la construcción histórica que un grupo de trabajadoras y un colectivo de organizaciones sociales hicieron del Hospital San Juan de Dios (HSJD) e Instituto Materno Infantil (IMI) en Bogotá, Colombia, en medio de la crisis neoliberal en salud. Nuestra investigación etnográfica liga las tradiciones Latinoamericanas en etnografía colaborativa y antropología histórica y fue llevada a cabo en dos espacios. En el primero de 2005-2015 realizamos conversatorios informales, talleres y entrevistas semiestructuradas con trabajadoras y trabajadores del IMI. El segundo se desarrolló en el marco de las deliberaciones de la Mesa Jurídica por el San Juan de Dios (20082009), cuyo objetivo fue instaurar una acción popular en defensa de los hospitales. Encontramos que trabajadoras y colectivos sociales se apropiaron del origen colonial de los hospitales y su institucionalización como centros de políticas de bienestar del país para resaltar su importancia patrimonial, histórica, educativa y social. Esta construcción histórica realizada por las trabajadoras critica los esfuerzos por negar o transformar el carácter público de los hospitales y sirve para instaurar distintas acciones que denuncian la reforma neoliberal en salud como la causante de la mayor crisis de los hospitales y su cierre. Las y los actores denuncian el cambio en la relación hospitales-Estado, la cual pasó de ser central para el desarrollo de las políticas sociales a una eliminación simbólica y material que favorece los intereses de mercado establecidos con el modelo neoliberal.

ABSTRACT In this article, we narrate and analyze the historical configuration that a group of female workers and a collective of social organizations made about the Hospital San Juan de Dios (HSJD) and Instituto Materno Infantil (IMI) in Bogotá, Colombia, within the neoliberal crisis in health. Our ethnographic research intersects the Latinamerican traditions of collaborative ethnography and historic anthropology. The research was conducted in two sites. In the first one, from 2005 until 2015, we had informal conversations and conducted workshops and semi-structured interviews with IMI workers. The second site corresponds to our participation in the deliberations of the Mesa Jurídica por el San Juan de Dios (2008-2009), which aimed to elevate a class action to defend the hospitals. We found that workers and social organizations made use of the colonial origin of the hospitals and their institutionalization as center of welfare policies in the country as a way to highlight their patrimonial, historical, educational and social importance. This historical construction critiques efforts that negate or transform the public character of the hospitals and helped them carry on different actions to denounce the neoliberal health care reform as the cause of the hospitals most important crisis and closing. The different actors denounce the change in the hospitals-state relationship, which transited from being central for the development of social policies to reflecting a symbolic and material elimination of the hospitals. Such transition benefits the market interests established by the neoliberal model

A propósito del bicentenario / About bicentennial

Debido a que estamos transitando el año del Bicentenario de nuestra Independencia, a continuación presentamos dos artículos. El primero es sobre un informe que el primer Protomédico, el Dr. Miguel Gorman (u O’ Gorman o de Gorman), elevó a pedido del Virrey Arredondo en 1793 sobre la efectividad de la vacuna antivariólica. Recordemos que Gorman era resistido, no por el episodio posterior de su nieta Camila y el cura Ladislao, sino porque, aunque se había educado en España había nacido en Irlanda, lo que implicaba un desmedro a sus antecedentes. Por su conocimiento en inglés, pudo adquirir la experiencia de la Escuela de Medicina de Londres acerca de la reciente variolización, para prevenir o atenuar la viruela.

O Hospital Real de Todos-os-Santos e seus agentes da cura / The Hospital Real de Todos-os-Santos and its healing agents

Resumo No final do século XV as instituições de assistência passavam por uma grave crise. Nesse contexto, pretende-se descortinar a ação régia de dom João II (1481-1495), protagonista de uma grande reforma assistencial em Portugal. O rei e sua rainha, dona Leonor, consolidaram um novo modelo assistencial determinando a construção de dois grandes hospitais nos moldes modernos, centralizando a prática assistencial. Por meio de crônicas e de regimentos do período, o artigo focaliza a principal obra hospitalar da época – o Hospital Real de Todos-os-Santos, de Lisboa. A prática dos agentes da saúde também sofre intervenções importantes dos reis de Avis, que regulam, vigiam e fiscalizam a ação de físicos e boticários.

Abstract The article explores the actions of king Dom João II (1481-1495), who spearheaded a major assistance reform in Portugal during the late fifteenth century, when charitable institutions were grappling with a serious crisis. The king and his queen, Dona Leonor, ordered two large, modern hospitals to be built, centralizing assistance work and cementing a new assistance model. Relying on chronicles and royal decrees from the period, the article focuses on the main hospital that was built then: Hospital Real de Todos-os-Santos, located in Lisbon. The king and queen also intervened heavily in the practice of health agents by regulating, overseeing, and inspecting the work of doctors and apothecaries.
