Abstract

This report deals with the situation of the state of military veterinary medicine in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy shortly before the outbreak of the First World War and in the years immediately afterwards (1920). Specifically we will follow the career of a student in the Military Veterinary Academy and his practice as Military Veterinarian through the end of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. We will examine the role of Farrier-Veterinarians as predecessors of University trained Veterinarians, as well as the details surrounding the entrance into service, the course of study, and the official duties of the veterinary students. Finally we will consider the representative organisation of the Military Veterinarians and their duties in the field.

Smoking habits of office-based general practitioners and internists in Austria and their smoking cessation efforts.

Tobacco smoking is the major cause of lung disease. This study aimed to determine: 1) the prevalence of tobacco smoking among office-based physicians; 2) their readiness to inquire about their patients' smoking habits and, if need be, to motivate them to stop smoking; 3) whether non-smoking doctors advise their patients more frequently to stop smoking than their smoker colleagues do. A self-designed questionnaire on a post card was sent to 7674 office-based general practitioners (GPs) and internists. 1395 (18.2%) questionnaires were returned. Independent telephone interviews with 91 doctors were also carried out to minimize the bias of self-presentation. Just under 11% of doctors were smokers. About 50% of all doctors who responded described themselves as ex-smokers. 38% of the smokers would accept outside help to stop smoking. About 50% of GPs and 90% of internists inquire about the smoking habits of their patients during history taking. Of these, 85% of GPs and 92% of internists recommend their patients to stop smoking. Doctors who themselves are smokers do so less than their non-smoker colleagues. For this reason, a further reduction in the smoking prevalence among doctors would be of special importance. Inquiry about smoking habits in the initial history taking should be stressed more to identify any smoker who can be subsequently encouraged to stop smoking.
