Insights

The first Chilean Journal of Psychiatry, Neurology and Forensic Medicine, established in 1917, offers insights into historical psychiatric knowledge and hospital management. Its early publications focused on mental health and disease updates.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Neurology
  • Forensic Medicine

Context:

  • Historical review of the inaugural Chilean Journal of Psychiatry, Neurology and Forensic Medicine.
  • Publication commenced in July 1917 and ceased in 1919.
  • Content produced by physicians from "Casa de Orates," the Clinic of Nervous and Mental diseases, and the Chair of Forensic Medicine.

Purpose:

  • To examine the knowledge base of psychiatry, neurology, and forensic medicine in early 20th-century Chile.
  • To analyze the thematic focus and scope of early psychiatric research and practice.
  • To understand the historical context of mental health care and hospital management.

Summary:

  • Over half of the journal's articles pertained to psychiatric topics.
  • Key themes included disease reviews and treatment updates.
  • A notable interest was shown in hospital management and broader mental health issues.

Impact:

  • Provides a historical perspective on psychiatric and neurological understanding in Chile.
  • Highlights early approaches to mental health care and institutional management.
  • Serves as a valuable resource for researchers of medical history and psychiatric evolution.

Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics

Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

Journal Bearings01:23

Journal Bearings

Journal bearings are mechanical components that support and provide lateral stability to rotating shafts and axles. They are crucial in reducing friction, wear, and vibration in machinery such as engines, turbines, and pumps. The principle behind journal bearings is forming a thin lubricant film between the bearing surface and the rotating shaft, which minimizes direct contact and reduces frictional forces.
To better understand the concept of journal bearings, consider a rope winch with dry or...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Genomics

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

The Placebo Effect

The placebo effect occurs when people's expectations or beliefs influence or determine their experience in a given situation. In other words, simply expecting something to happen can actually make it happen.

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...
