[Historical studies of the Protomedicato Tribunal and health professions and occupations during the Spanish Monarchy in the 16th to 18th centuries].

We present a bibliography comprising 253 references available to the present time on works dealing directly or indirectly with the Royal Protomedicato. A wide range of criteria were used to search the most commonly used bibliographic sources and to apply indirect methods, in view of the dispersion of relevant studies, and the lack of bibliographies for Spanish historical-medical works from certain decades. We offer a general analysis of the literature, and sketch out the major historiographical problems faced in studies of this institution, ie, the scarcity of sources, the predominance of legislative sources, the changes in geographical areas under the authority of the Castilian Protomedicato and differences between protophysicians and the Protomedicato.

[Training in the profession of occupational safety].

Since 1988, when the Higher Technical School for Occupational Safety ceased to exist, there has been no university education of specialized experts for the filed of safety at work in Croatia. In the past four years occupational safety experts have received their specialist training after completion of the secondary education. Since 1993 this practice has been regulated by relevant legal provisions. During specialization they become acquainted with legal provisions, types of occupational hazards and safety measures to be undertaken in the work organization. A four-year experience shows that 273 persons who have graduated as occupational safety specialists are presently employed in work organizations where such experts were lacking before. According to the reports of the occupational safety supervisory office, they are good at their job. The author proposes two levels of training for occupational safety specialists: specialist training following secondary schooling and a postgraduate university course of studies for designers and innovators in the field of safety.

Filling the void of well-trained occupational medicine physicians: a challenge for the 1990s.

Occupational Medicine is a vibrant, rapidly expanding medical specialty. Many reports and studies have emphasized the increasing demand for occupational medicine physicians. Unfortunately, a lack of knowledge regarding the field among the general public and within the medical community as well functions as a major stumbling block to the growth of our profession. Occupational medicine needs to attract young physicians into accredited training programs. Assuring that these programs exist, are properly funded, and provide quality training are, of course, important first steps. The efforts of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, which provides residency accreditation, and the American College of Occupational Medicine (ACOM), which administers the Occupational Physicians Scholarship Fund, are significant and essential. It is equally vital, however, that there be a pool of qualified applicants for these training positions. We address the issue of attracting physicians to accredited occupational medicine training programs and offer several practical recommendations to help achieve this goal.

Impairments and disabilities--the difference: proposal for adjustment of the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps.

In this article, a proposal for adjustment of the Classification of Impairments and the Classification of Disabilities of the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps is presented. This proposal is a result of a project conducted by the Dutch National Institute for Research and Postgraduate Education in Physical Therapy. The project was executed in collaboration with the professional national organizations of five health professions: occupational therapy, chiropody, Cesar therapy (exercise therapy), Mensendieck therapy (exercise therapy), and physical therapy. The proposal includes reformulated definitions of impairment and disability, an inventory of the impairments and disabilities that are relevant for the health professions that participated in the project, a description of the domain of the Classification of Impairments and the Classification of Disabilities, a new subdivision for both classifications in chapters, and a set of "types of characteristics" and "characteristics" that subdivide the different chapters of the two classifications.

Nature-based therapy: its potential as a complementary approach to treating communication disorders.

Nature-based therapy (NBT) has been incorporated into the practice of many medical and mental health professions. Occupational therapists, physical therapists, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and to a lesser extent, speech-language pathologists have used NBT practices as a complementary means of treating a variety of physical, emotional, and cognitive disorders. This article includes a description of NBT and the three types that comprise the practice and a review of the literature demonstrating the use of NBT in the general population and, more specifically, with individuals with neurogenic communication disorders. It concludes with a discussion of directions for future research of NBT.

Snoezelen or controlled multisensory stimulation. Treatment aspects from Israel.

In Israel today, with a total population of over 6 million persons, the Division for Mental Retardation (DMR) provides services to 23,000 persons with intellectual disability (ID). Of the 23,000, residential services are provided to more than 6,000 in close to 60 residential centers, another 2,000 are provided residential care in hostels or group homes in the community in about 50 locations, while the rest are served with day-care kindergarten, day-treatment centers, sheltered workshops, or integrated care in the community. The first Snoezelen room (controlled multisensory stimulation) in the DMR was established at the Bnei Zion residential care center in 1995. The Snoezelen method is now used in Israel in more than 30 residential care centers and 3 community settings. Since the year 2000, a physiotherapist has been employed in order to supervise the treatment and development of the method nationally. Professional staff meetings take place every 4 months. A certification course has been established on a national basis for individuals from different professions (occupational therapists, physiotherapists, teachers, music therapists, nurses, speech therapists, or caregivers). Snoezelen has proved to be an important instrument and a powerful therapeutic tool among the various treatment modules employed in Israel for persons with ID. This paper presents the concept illustrated with two case stories.
