摘要:

The early experience of convulsive therapies in Australia was reported in the Medical Journal of Australia from 1935 to 1950. Cardiazol convulsive therapy, first used in Australia in 1937, appears to have been widely employed. Electroconvulsive therapy, first used here in 1941, rapidly became accepted as a mainstream treatment. Early response rates are discussed, as well as Australian adaptations of European techniques. Clinicians of the day considered the use of these procedures carefully and were circumspect about their future role.

摘要:

Bloodletting has been practised in most cultures for the past two millennia. Originally widely applied, it is now only indicated for a small number of specific medical conditions. Bloodletting declined in the 19th century at a time of revolution in medical thought, and examining its decline illustrates the forces that have shaped modern medicine.

摘要:

On 19 September 1994, with little warning, two volcanoes erupted at the Rabaul caldera, affecting the heavily populated Gazelle Peninsula, East New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea. Local health services were able to deal with the disaster without additional external resources. The preparedness of the population and their knowledge of safe areas gained from a disaster plan widely publicised a decade earlier contributed to the low number of casualties.
