Early Spanish physicians and hospitals in Cuba.

Very little is known about the early history of medicine in the Caribbean. Five hundred years ago medicine practitioners from Europe started to settle in the New World. Hospitals were built in very rudimentary houses to care for the sick. Diseases were received and transmitted by the new settlers. The author, a philatelist and a Columbus scholar, uses postage stamps to highlight the introduction of European medicine in Cuba.

Did Bechterew describe the disease which is named after him? A question raised due to the centennial of his primary report.

From paleopathological studies of egyptian mummies it is known that pelvospondylitis existed in ancient times. In spite of that a disease entity has not been clearly defined until recent years. The discovery of the rheumatoid factor, 1940 by Waaler and 1948 by Rose, allowed differentiation from RA. The first criteria for pelvospondylitis were proposed at a symposium in Rome 1961. Another important step in the history of pelvospondylitis occurred in 1973 when the connection to the HLA-B27 was discovered. Initial clinical descriptions appeared in the last decade of the 18th century. One of the contributors was the Russian Wladimir Bechterew (Fig. 1) whose name thereafter has been linked to the disease. Since it is the centennial of Bechterew's original report it seems appropriate to review that publication.

Life story of Dr. Hulusi Behçet.

Dr. Hulusi Behçet was born on February 20, 1889 in Istanbul. He graduated from Gülhane Military Medical Academy in 1910 and then he specialized in Dermatology and Venereal Diseases. He served in the Edirne Military Hospital between 1914-1918 and then went to Budapest and Berlin to improve his knowledge. In 1923, he started at the Istanbul Medical Faculty as an academic staff and with university reform in 1933, he was appointed as a professor to Department of Dermatology and Venereal Diseases and continued his career there until his death in 1948. Three patients whom he had consulted for years and who shared similar symptoms made him suspect a new disease and a viral etiology which may play a role in the appearance of this disease. After several discussions and publications, medical literature had accepted Behçet's Disease as a special entity. Dr. Behçet published a total of 196 articles, 53 of which were published in prestigious international journals.
