Training to be an historian of anesthesia: options at universities in the United States


 Dear Scientists,
 The Journal STUDIES IN HISTORY AND PHYLOSPHY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY is a specialized scientific publication on theoretical and philosophical (Philosophy of Science) sciences. The journal, founded in 1993, was published under the title «Herald of Dnipropetrovsk University. Series History and Philosophy of Science and Technology». Under this name, 25 issues of the journal were issued by 2017 inclusive. Due to the change in the name of Dnipropetrovsk University, the need to change the name of the magazine is necessary. From No. 26 the magazine begins to come out under the new name which is indicated on its cover.
 Since the journal STUDIES IN HISTORY AND PHYLOSPHY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY is the successor of the journals "The Bulletin of the University of Dnipropetrovsk. Series History and Philosophy of Science and Technology ", the numbering of the journals with the changed name will continue.
 The editorial board of the magazine, which consists of well-known specialists in the field of historical and philosophical sciences (both domestic and foreign), ask the scientists of these areas of scientific research to send their research materials for publication in the scientific professional journal STUDIES IN HISTORY AND PHYLOSPHY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ З ІСТОРІЇ І ФІЛОСОФІЇ НАУКИ І ТЕХНІКИ). The site of the journal: vestnikdnu.dp.ua
 Sincerely,Chief Editor Doctor of History, prof. V. S. Savchuk

Dear readers: History of science and technology is certainly a flourishing discipline. In 2013 the 24th International Congress of the History of Science and Technology takes place in Manchester. More than thousand lectures will be given, especially the traditional Academy lecture of the International Academy of the History of Science by the internationally renowned historian of science Julio Samso from Barcelona. The European Society of the History of Science attracts an increasing number of members, its congresses an increasing number of participants. The next congress will take place in Lisbon in 2014. There is a continuously increasing number of journals that publish new insights and results of historians of science among them being the promising Advances in Historical Studies. Their editorial board consists of fourty-four members coming from eighteen different countries thus reflecting the extreme internationality of the whole enterprise. The same is true of the subject dealt with by historians of science and technology who combine their efforts in order to investigate interdisciplinary and interdepartmental research questions, ways of thinking, ways of justifying or securing newly gained knowledge like analogy, demonstration, visualization. A special task of our discipline is the appropriate realization of editions and translations that enable scientists to study scientific influences, receptions, networks and to evaluate scientific achievements. I would like to mention some examples. The Leibniz edition is realized by four teams in Berlin, Hannover, Munster, and Potsdam (http://www.leibniz-edition.de). Six of the presumably thirty volumes covering Leibniz’s mathematical studies (series 7) have been published up to now, one of presumably eight or nine volumes covering his studies regarding natural sciences, medicine, technology (series 8) has appeared up to now. An incredible richness of new insights is gained by every new volume. The same can be said about the volumes that will contain the correspondences of Alexander von Humboldt. In 2013, at least four volumes can be expected, namely Humboldt’s correspondence with the famous astronomer Franz Encke, with the French natural scientist Jean-Baptiste Boussingault, with the Prussian king Frederic William IV. A fourth volume will explain Humboldt’s relations with more than hundred artists that is based on his correspondences with these contemporaries. In Rome Giorgio Israel has established an international group of editors who prepare an edition of Luigi Cremona’s correspondence, that is, of one of the most famous Italian mathematicians of the 19th century. The edition will appear within the book series De diversis artibus of the International Academy of the History of Science. Other international cooperations are planned in order to publish the huge correspondence of the astronomer Johannes Hevelius whose letters are mainly kept in Parisian archives. I am convinced that these scientific enterprises will significantly contribute to the advances in historical studies and that the new journal carrying exactly this name will strongly profit by this development.

Therapeutic Proofs and Medical Truths:The Enduring Legacy of Early Modern Drug Trials Jeremy A. Greene (bio) "It would be a fruitless enterprise," Owsei Temkin wrote in 1964, "to enter upon speculations on the origins of drug therapy. Suffice to say that it is very old."1 All the same, modernists like to think of the practice of clinical trials for drug therapy as a relatively new thing in the world. Many of my clinical colleagues consider the randomized controlled trial (RCT) the central element in modern medical epistemology, a "gold standard" that neatly divides the evidence-based medicine of the present from the evidence-free medicine of the premodern past.2 Coming to terms with the clinical trial as an older form of medical evidence, with roots in princely politics and prisoner pardons, is a more challenging task. Likewise, historians of science often leave medicine out of the broader history of experiment. In spite of the efforts of a number of scholars to locate medicine as a central site for the development of empirical and experimental knowledge in the medieval and early modern period, it has been far too easy for historians to casually refer to the incorporation of experiment into medicine as something that develops only in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.3 As the editors of this special issue of the Bulletin of the History of Medicine point out, this omission occurs because [End Page 420] drug testing has remained a relatively understudied area among historians of medieval and early modern medicine. In directly challenging both of these assumptions, the articles of this volume constitute a powerful and important intervention that demonstrates the direct relevance of early modern European history of pharmacy and therapeutics to present-day practitioners as well as historians of science, medicine, and technology. True, the methodology of the trials they document might not pass muster with a twenty-first-century Institutional Review Board, a National Institutes of Health study section, or the editorial board of The Lancet, but the forms traced in these essays bear enough genealogical similarities to present-day therapeutic proofs to be sufficiently unsettling. At the very least, they give the lie to the casual assumption that the modern form of therapeutic proof was simply the intellectual accomplishment of Austin Bradford Hill in his MRC offices in 1948. Rather, the reader of this volume finds that the things we do for proof today have roots that stretch back centuries and are as steeped in the social relations of state power, the role of expert knowledge in the bureaucratic systems, and the marketing strategies of drug manufacturers as they are in any purity of method or philosophical principle. One comes away from this collection of articles with a greater awareness of the cracks in the edifice of therapeutic truth-making that twenty-first-century pharmaceutical manufacturers, physicians, and patients have come to inhabit. The period, place, actors, and scope of action in these contributions range widely, from Michael McVaugh's opening article on experimental protocols for drug provings among the fourteenth-century medical faculty of Montpellier to the eighteenth-century attempt to understand and replicate the blood miracle of St. Januarius, chronicled in Francesco Paolo de Ceglia's concluding essay. The drugs tested vary from bath waters to the blood of saints, from pancreatic extracts to whole chickens; the sites of analysis range across French and German courts, learned societies, hospitals, pharmacies, and households; and the actors cross in and out of learned societies, academic institutions, state regulators, and orthodox medical professionals. And yet the contributions of all scholars cohere around several points of continued interest to therapeutic practice and experimental proof today: the relation of reason, rationality, and experiment; the problem of designating on whose bodies such proofs should be tested; and the broader social role that methods for designating legitimate from illegitimate cures play in the relation of the medical profession [End Page 421] and the regulatory state in shaping markets and monopolies for medical practice and pharmaceutical manufacture. ________ For more than two decades, Harry Marks's The Progress of Experiment: Science and Therapeutic Reform in the United States, 1900–1990 has served as a key reference work...

The publication is an analytical review of the work of the section devoted to historical sciences in the peer-reviewed publication The Journal Omsk Scientific Bulletin. Series Society. History. Modernity. The journal has been published for five years by the Omsk State Technical University (flagship university); included in the HAC List, indexed in the RSCI and a number of other scientometric databases. The relevance of the analysis done is associated with the general historiographic trend in the preparation of such articles, summarizing the activities of individual leading journals at certain stages. In the study, the authors highlight and critically analyze the qualitative and quantitative indicators, which directly form the image of the publication (editorial board, headings, links with scientific events, etc.). As a basis for the study, we used publications published in The Journal Omsk Scientific Bulletin. Series Society. History. Modernity, as well as information from the official website of the publisher and founder and scientometric databases. The principles of consistency and determinism made it possible to analyze the activities of the journal, considered as a phenomenon in academic science, having its own structure, at the same time, being part of the community of historical and local history knowledge. Based on the specifics of the topic, the main scientific methods used to write this publication are problematic and statistical. Along with the originality, novelty of the published materials, as well as a number of other undoubted advantages of the publication, the review reflects well-reasoned critical passages, which are regarded as possible ways for further improving the journal's work and its systematic development. The authors of the review come to the conclusion that, thanks to the efforts and hard work of the editorial staff and members of the editorial board of the publication (especially historians), a peer-reviewed publication of the humanitarian profile is dynamically developing at the leading engineering university of Omsk, which, under favorable conditions, may soon become one of the leading Russian journals on historical sciences. The review is aimed at a wide range of readers, first of all, researchers of Russian historical science who study historiography, the development of scientific schools, and the scientific and publishing activities of regional universities.

Crisis at the Croatian Medical Journal: Considering a Proposal for Its Destruction

Goodbye to Edward G. (Ted) Jones, MD, DPhil, 1939‐2011

The article describes the critical directions of the scientific and organizational activity of Theodor Mackiw (1918–2011), a well–known Ukrainian historian who worked in the conditions of foreign (diasporic) Ukrainian historiography. A personal contribution to the organization and holding of scientific publications, congresses, conferences, and events devoted to the study of the history of Ukraine was determined. It was determined that one of the key areas of scientific and organizational activity of T. Maсkiw was his work as a member of the editorial board of «Ukrainian Historian» in the Ukrainian Historical Society, he was responsible for publications on the history of the Cossacks of the 17–18 centuries and Ukrainian–Polish relations. He was an active participant in most scientific events and their co–organizer, organized not only by the UHS independently, but also in cooperation with other Ukrainian diaspora societies and organizations. His active participation in various scientific activities and the establishment of interpersonal relationships between researchers positively impacted the results of the work of the UHS and other organizations of which he was a member. Despite the active organizational activity at the UHS, the historian supported the holding of joint congresses to establish connections between various scientific institutions. While teaching and working on scientific research, Professor T. Mackiw decently represented Ukrainian historical science abroad, paid a lot of attention to public and public–scientific work, and tried to spread knowledge of the history and culture of Ukraine not only at scientific forums, in particular, he organized an evening of Ukrainian music in Seton Hall University, published popular science articles in the press, hosted Ukrainian studies programs on the radio. The scientist helped Ukrainian dissidents. T. Mackiw participated in the most representative forum of the world–historical science–the International Congresses of Historical Sciences in the post–war period. Participation in four congresses is evidence of a high level of awareness and purposefulness. The historian communicated and expressed his thoughts on various historical topics, becoming a part of world historical science, and bringing Ukrainian historiography to the international level.
