“…This result is particularly surprising given that the pre-Nazi medical profession had shown itself to be one of the most bioethically aware in the world, especially after the Neisser scandal, in which prostitutes were used to test a syphilis vaccine without their consent (Vollman & Winau, 1996;Cuerda-Galindo, Sierra-Valentí, González-López, & López-Muñoz, 2014). The issue prompted the Prussian Reich government to pass a number of pioneering regulations on human experimentation in February 1900.…”

The breakdown of German psychiatry with the coming to power of the National Socialist regime in 1933 resulted in a revival after the war of bioethical issues, the immediate effect of which was the enactment of the Nuremberg Code. In many ways, this breakdown was the result of the historical evolution of psychomedical knowledge and the mass dissemination of reductionist discourses and ideas that created a breeding ground for tragedy. The cyclical discourse of psychic materialism, which has been repeated for centuries in the history of science in different formulations, can, if not properly interpreted, lead to far-reaching appropriations and risks, to which due attention must be paid. The latest manifestation of this issue, the view of mental life as basically cerebral, neurological, biochemical, and determinist, a view that has not been managed or presented adequately to the public, could become the basis for perverse new perspectives and applications in the current context of research and academic activity.

“…97 Nevertheless, syphilis seems not to have been used in that way, although it has been deliberately inoculated for experimental purposes rather than cure. 98 These experiments begin with a famous inoculation by John Hunter (1728-1793), possibly leading to his own or another's death. 99,100 They continue through the misguided attempts to "prevent" syphilis with inoculation of wetnurses by Joseph-Alexandre Auzias-Turenne (1812-1870) and of prostitutes by Albert Neisser (1855-1916); far from immunizing the subjects, the inoculations caused the disease and sent the researchers to court.…”

The lawyer and physician Paolo Zacchia (1584–1659) was the chief physician at the Vatican and an important advisor to the papal court. He is considered a founder of the field of forensic pathology, and the influence of his masterwork, Quaestiones medico-legales, spread throughout Europe. In this essay, we focus on one of Zacchia's consultations, first published posthumously in 1661. Emerging from a cause for beatification, the case features the intriguing medical notion of one disease curing another. Zacchia was to determine if a young man's recovery from epilepsy was miraculous or not. We will briefly review Zacchia's career, examine his argument and the sources on which he based his reasoning in this case, trace the status of the disease-versus-disease notion to the present, and demonstrate that this consultation represents a rare, if not the only example of syphilis being the curative agent – rather than the disease cured.

“…La sífilis es transmisible por contacto sexual con lesiones infecciosas, de la madre al feto dentro del útero, a través de la transfusión de sangre y a veces por medio de roturas en la piel que entran en contacto con lesiones infecciosas. Si no se trata, progresa a través de cuatro etapas: primaria, secundaria, latente y terciaria [1,2].…”

Rev Nac Odontol. 2018;13(26):1-8. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10. 16925/ od.v13i26.1788 Resumen Introducción: la sífilis es una enfermedad considerada como antigua, que ha causado grandes estragos durante toda la historia de la humanidad, y a pesar de métodos de protección sexual y antibióticos para combatir esta infección, en la actualidad todavía su prevalencia es preocupante. El odontólogo juega un papel imprescindible en este campo, debido a que debe ser capacitado para detectar las manifestaciones de la enfermedad en cavidad bucal de una forma temprana, con lo que se evitaría su progresión.Metodología: se realiza un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, con veinte pacientes que consultaron tres servicios de estomatología de Suramérica; se les realiza examen estomatológico e historia clínica exhaustiva; se clasificaron las lesiones encontradas y se analizaron los demás datos recogidos.Resultados: la lesión prevalente en sífilis primaria fue la úlcera y solo se detectó un caso; acerca de la forma secundaria se detectaron diecinueve casos y se encontraron múltiples lesiones asociadas; por último, no se encontró ningún caso de sífilis terciaria.Conclusiones: se considera fundamental la divulgación de estos resultados y mayores investigaciones en este campo, con el fin de educar y así evitar la progresión de la sífilis a una forma latente o terciaria que ponga en riesgo la vida de la población.Palabras clave: enfermedades de transmisión sexual, neoplasias de la boca, serodiagnóstico de la sífilis, sífilis. AbstractIntroduction: Syphilis is an ancient disease that has caused great damage throughout the history of humanity and, despite sexual protection methods and antibiotics to combat this infection, its prevalence is still alarming today. The dentist plays an essential role in this field because he must be trained to early detect the manifestations of the disease in the oral cavity, which would prevent its progression. Materials and methods:A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted, with 20 patients who consulted three stomatology services in South America; a stomatological examination was done and an exhaustive clinical history was obtained; the lesions found were classified and the other data collected were analyzed.Results: The lesion prevalent in primary syphilis was ulcers and only one case was detected; about the secondary form, nineteen cases were detected, and multiple associated lesions were found; finally, no case of tertiary syphilis was found.Conclusions: Disclosure of these results and further research in this field are considered essential to educate and thus prevent the progression of syphilis to a latent or tertiary form that endangers the life of the population.
