Pēteris Apinis atzinis, ka “šī ir viena no labākajām līdz šim izdotajām grāmatām par medicīnas vēsturi Latvijā”. Atzīmējot Bērnu klīniskās universitātes slimnīcas 120 gadu vēsturi, laista klajā grāmata, kurā atspoguļoti paveiktie darbi un sasniegumi. Slimnīca dibināta 1899. gada 2. oktobrī, kad Torņakalnā tika atvērta Rīgas pilsētas bērnu klīniskā slimnīca ar 116 gultām, ko vēlāk nosauca Džeimsa Armitsteda (James Armitstead) vārdā. Dž. Armitsteds bija turīgs rūpnieks un tirgotājs, kurš testamentā daļu sava kapitāla novēlēja Rīgas pilsētai lielākam sabiedriska labuma mērķim. Grāmatā aplūkota slimnīcas vēsture un publicēti atmiņu stāsti.","PeriodicalId":32259,"journal":{"name":"Acta MedicoHistorica Rigensia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69067254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was stated that VDs would be eliminated in the Soviet Union at the earliest possible date. Compared to the independent Republic of Latvia (1918–1940), during the Soviet period, despite a larger population, the number of registered VDs infected patients was significantly lower. In such a historical context, a strange ideological obsession could be observed in the activities pursued by Soviet authorities when fighting VDs. The notion of the VDs as a remnant of the capitalist system determined the treatment of Soviet citizens infected by the VDs as marginalised populations. In order to achieve the goal of becoming a country where the VDs were eliminated, the Soviet Union practised a drastic dispensarisation system in the treatment of VDs, which was focused only on certain groups of the population that were identified in the documents of internal use for 1 The author’s work on this article constitutes a part of the University of Latvia project No. ZD2015/AZ85. 2 The term “sexually transmitted disease” has now replaced “venereal disease”. ““Venereal disease” was used from the eighteenth to the late twentieth centuries to refer mainly to syphilis and gonorrhea.” See: Pamela Cox, “Compulsion, Voluntarism, and Venereal Disease: Governing Sexual Health in England after the Contagious Diseases Acts”, Journal of British Studies 46, no. 1 (January 2007): 91–115.

The study revealed that the works of J. Śniadecki were partly characteristic of the Enlightenment period. The main goal of Śniadecki’s papers was to educate society in order to fight with superstitions and negative habits that were widely spread in the working class as well as the upper class. He focused on preventive measures that would help to maintain good physical and mental health of a child, family and society. Śniadecki’s attitude included some Romanticist features. He believed that the modern way of living was dangerous for human health because of numerous social factors that changed the primary perfection, purity and natural powers of the human body. As an opposition to the modern lifestyle he puts naturalistic way of living. However, Śniadecki was also one of the first anthropologists in Lithuania and Poland. His works were the first attempts to find correlations between numerous factors such as nutrition, heredity and development of the human body. Moreover, Śniadecki could be referred to as one of the pioneers in didactics. His insights related to the different teaching methods applied to the pupils’ age and sex remain relevant until now.","PeriodicalId":32259,"journal":{"name":"Acta MedicoHistorica Rigensia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69067462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system of compulsory hospitalisation to closed venereology wards established in the GDR was based on the Soviet healthcare system. Its purpose was not simply to sanction behavior that diverged from the prescribed socialist norm but also to educate women in accordance with socialist standards. The involuntarily committed women in the GDR were treated by measures of politicised medicine. This medicine was shaped and executed by actors who imposed their own standards on the victimised women daily.

Astoņpadsmit gadu viņš strādāja Ukrainā, ir bijis Kijevas Univer sitātes Oftalmoloģijas katedras vadītājs. 1922. gada aprīlī viņš sāka aktīvi darboties Latvijas Universitātē kā oftalmoloģijas profesors, un 1923. gada maijā viņu ievēlēja par Latvijas Universitātes rektoru. Atgriezies Latvijā, profesors Jānis Ruberts 1923. gadā nolasīja vēsturisku lekciju “Acis kā dvēseles spogulis”, uzsverot, ka neaprakstāma ir sajūta, kad cilvēks, kurš redzi ir zaudējis, to atgūst un pasauli ierauga atkal no jauna.
