[Miguel Gayarre (1866-1936) and neurology in Madrid: a contribution to his biography].

Miguel Gayarre y Espinal (1886-1936) is considered to be, together with Achúcarro, one of the most scientifically influential persons on Lafora, and hence on the so-called Madrid Neurological School preceding the Spanish Civil War (late XIX and first third of the XX century). There is, however, a great deal of scarcity about personal biographic data on Gayarre. We document herein that Gayarre, after graduation, achieved his doctoral degree at the age of 29 by discoursing on a non-neurological subject (On essential paroxysmal tachycardia). It was only afterwards when Gayarre decided to become a pupil of Oppenheim, considered at the time to be a "pure" neurologist, in Berlin. His return to Spain might had been prompted following rejection to Oppenheim on the basis of creed and race to take the chair at La Charité Hospital after Westphal death. Although Lafora considered him "an excellent neurologist", Gayarre, as most other members of the Madrid Neurological School, combined his practice with Neurohistopathology as a student of Achúcarro, and with Psychiatry, to become Director of the Ciempozuelos Hospital for the Insane in Madrid.

He was born in Budapest in 1892, finished his studies in Budapest, had been at the front for years during World War I. As a young man he became Head of Department of Ophthalmology and worked in several institutes, later in St. John's Hospital for 30 years. In his well-organized institute of high level many specialists had been trained. In 1929 he published his procedure to make individual contact glasses with moulding of living eye. However, he was not concerned with industrial relations of his invention. His method was taken over by Zeiss Works and, in London Mr. Dallos based manufacturing on that. His operation for reconstruction of contracted orbital cavity due to an accident or chemical inquiry, making possible wearing ocular-prothese with use of free skin-graft, can be found in great monographs on surgery, too: Arruga, Blaskovics, Thiel, Mackensen- Neubauer. His book entitled "Látás-próbák" (Test Types for Near and Test Tables for Distant) was revised and published in three successive editions. Among his other publications in Hungarian and world-wide languages there are 7 books, 14 chapters in other books and approx. 160 papers. He retired in 1960 and died in 1970.

[Bellini's death in 1835 and his biography].

Bellini died all of a sudden in 1835 whereas he was young and in good health. An amoebic intestinal disease and a liver abscess have been proved by the post-mortem examination. In fact the artist was living alone in a remote house outside Paris in Puteaux. His death was very painful as he did not receive any correct treatment which might have saved his life. Thus the circumstances of his death remain a puzzle for the historians.

King Chulalongkorn: biography and his activities in medicine and public health.

King Rama V, or Chulalongkorn, was the fifth monarch of the Chakri Dynasty. He was one of the most beloved of the Thai kings due to his many activities including abolishing slavery without bloodshed and especially his skillful diplomacy which succeeded in steering Siam out of the grips of the colonial powers. His activities also included reform of the administration of the kingdom according to the European model and in bringing Siam into the modern era with such exquisite skills that he is still vividly remembered today. His reign also saw many developments in medicine and public health. The King's role in these areas, however, were clouded by his more visible activities in politics and diplomacy. The result is that the Thai public learned rather little about his role in these areas. This article aims at collecting this and to show the King's very important role in modernizing medicine and public health in Siam.
