Dr James George Beaney (1828-1891): A pioneer Australian paediatrician and paediatric surgeon

Dr James George Beaney (1828-1891) was a flamboyant and controversial Melbourne surgeon and paediatrician. He was the first in Australia, in 1859, to publish a medical textbook; and the first, in 1873, to publish a paediatric text, Children: their treatment in health and disease. An analysis of four of his published works relating to paediatrics and paediatric surgery establishes his place as a true pioneer in the chronology of children's medicine and welfare in his adopted land. He undertook heroic yet conservative surgery on children, was the first to write in detail about paediatric anaesthesia, and was the pioneer of family planning in Australia. In Children: their treatment in health and disease, he described in detail the supreme importance of breastfeeding, detailed clear practical concepts for the weaning of infants and discussed the diagnosis and management of diseases of the mouth, ears, eyes and teeth of infants. Beaney was shunned by much of the established medical profession because of his self-promoting flamboyance and his egotism. However, an audit of surviving archives and of his published works affords him a place as another, hitherto unacknowledged true pioneer of Australian paediatrics.

Obtenção e conservação de espermatozoides de cutia (Dasyprocta leporina Linneaus, 1753) do semiárido brasileiro

The general objective of this thesis was to stablish protocols to obtain and conserve agouti (Dasyprocta leporina) sperm bred in captivity in the Brazilian semi-arid, aiming its sustainable production. The thesis was divided in three experiments. In the first one, we studied the influence of the interaction between two probes (quadratics and sine waves) and two stimulation protocols (continuous and in series) on the agouti sperm collection by electroejaculation efficiency. The most efficient interaction on this obtainment was the one with probes with rings associated with stimuli in series (4/7; 57%, P<0.05). In the second experiment we compared the cryoprotectant effects of different substances (glycerol, ethyleneglycol, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide) on epididymis sperm cryopreservation. The highest values on motility (39.5±4.6%), vigor (2.9±0.2) and membrane integrity (30.6±4.5%) were observed on the samples cryopreserved using glycerol when compared to those with ethyleneglycol and dimethylformamide, but there was no difference (P>0.05) when compared to the samples cryopreserved with dimethylsulfoxide. At last, we studied the effects of the methods to obtain sperm (electroejaculation vs epididymal collection) on post thawing sperm quality. The samples obtained by epididymal retrograde flushing showed values for motility of 25.0±10.9% and vigor 2.4±0.8, and those obtained by electroejaculation had 31.2±14.2% of motility and vigor of 2.2±0.7, however, without statistical difference (P>0.05), which shows the possibility to successfully use the epididymal sperm cryopreservation protocol on agouti ejaculated sperm. In conclusion, significant advances on obtainment and processing of agouti sperm were made, allowing the establishment of germplasm banks from sperm samples obtained from the epididymis or by electroejaculation.

Commentary on Maugham's Treatise on the Laws of Literary Property (1828)

The first British legal treatise dedicated specifically to the law of copyright written by a strong advocate of the common law rights of the author. Maugham, in addition to providing a commentary upon the law of copyright, also used his work to lobby for both an extension to the copyright term (ideally resulting in a perpetual right) and a reduction in the library deposit requirements (arguing that authors should only be required to deposit one copy of their work for the British Museum). In proselytising the need for a change to the law in both areas he drew frequent comparisons with the law of other jurisdictions (in particular France and Germany). The work became a standard point of reference for many British and American authors who followed.

Nueva Granada en tiempos del Virrey Solís, 1753-1761

Este libro recoge la visión del territorio de la actual Colombia a través de la acción de gobierno del virrey José Solís y Folch de Cardona. Antes que limitarse a los siete años de gobierno, la autora ha ampliado el marco de referencia a la evolución del territorio del virreinato, en términos estructurales y políticos, durante las décadas centrales del siglo XVIII. El resultado son cinco capítulos que recogen la acción del gobierno del virrey Solís, a saber: El gobierno político. Relaciones del virrey con las autoridades de Santa Fe; El poder del virrey y el poder local; La real Hacienda. Reformas administrativas y evolución de las rentas; el fomento de las comunicaciones y Clero secular y regular. Los estudios publicados hasta el momento se han centrado en aspectos parciales del territorio durante el periodo de este estudio o en asuntos concretos del virrey Solís, ya fuera su vida personal, su defensa tras el juicio de residencia o su vida como religioso franciscano al cesar en su cargo de virrey. Teniendo en cuenta ese vacío historiográfico, se ha pretendido reconstruir la Historia del territorio basándose fundamentalmente en la documentación del Archivo General de Indias y, en menor proporción, en el Archivo General de la Nación, Bogotá. Sin olvidar la bibliografía publicada hasta el momento como soporte y complemento. Esta obra está dirigida a un público tanto especializado como en formación en el área de Historia y afines, llenar un vacío historiográfico y que sirva para conocer muchos de los aspectos de la historia así como entender algunas de las problemáticas que perviven.

Metabolic osteopathy in celiac disease: importance of a gluten-free diet

Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) is frequently found in individuals with untreated celiac disease (CD), possibly due to calcium and vitamin D malabsorption, release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and misbalanced bone remodeling. A gluten-free diet (GFD) promotes a rapid increase in BMD that leads to complete recovery of bone mineralization in children. Children may attain normal peak bone mass if the diagnosis is made and treatment is given before puberty, thereby preventing osteoporosis in later life. A GFD improves, but rarely normalizes, BMD in patients diagnosed with CD in adulthood. In some cases, nutritional supplementation may be necessary. More information on therapeutic alternatives is needed
