Born in Istria, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Fran Mandić (1851-1924) finished a Croatian grammar school in Rijeka and studied medicine in Graz, Austria and in Prague, Bohemia. After ...graduation, he settled in Trieste, a major Austrian port, where he spent his entire career. After a period in the State Hospital in Trieste, Mandić ran his own practice and held a position of medical adviser of the Austrian State Railway in Istria. Since his student days, he had championed equal political rights for the Croatian people in Istria. Aware of the importance of education, he donated his time and money for a number of new schools to open throughout Istria. For his merits he received high honours from the Emperor and an honorary Citizenship of Opatija, but the greatest recognition was the respect he earned from his patients and their families.
Rođen u Istri, tada dijelu prostrane Austro-Ugarske Monarhije, Fran Mandić (1851. – 1924.) završio je hrvatsku gimnaziju u Rijeci, a medicinu u Grazu i Pragu. Nakon promocije čitavu je liječničku ...karijeru proveo u Trstu, u njegovo doba glavnom gradu Austrijskog primorja. Nakon rada u bolnici, otvorio je vlastitu ordinaciju, a bio je i zdravstveni savjetnik Državnih željeznica. Čitavog je života, još od studentskih dana, sudjelovao u nastojanjima za postizanje jednakopravnosti hrvatskog naroda u Istri. Uvjeren u važnost obrazovanja, ulagao je svoje vrijeme i novac u otvaranje što većeg broja škola u Istri. Za zasluge u radu odlikovao ga je kralj, imenovan je počasnim građaninom Opatije, no najveće priznanje bio mu je ugled koji je uživao među pacijentima i članovima njihovih obitelji.

Zdravstvo i liječnici koji su djelovali u Dubrovniku u posljedna dva stoljeća, nakon što je Napoleonova armija srušila Dubrovačku Republiku, manje su do sada privlačili pozornost medikohistoričara. U ...ovom su članku na temelju podataka iz onodobnih časopisa i novina te privatnih arhiva članova obitelji rekonstruirani životi i djelovanje dvojice dubrovačkih liječnika, oca i sina, Balda i Ante Bibice koji su živjeli potkraj 19. i u prvoj polovici 20. stoljeća. Baldo Bibica medicinu je završio u Beču i čitavog je života bio općinski liječnik, najprije u mjestima u okolici Dubrovnika, a od 1903. u Gružu. Ante Bibica studirao je medicinu u Gracu i Zagrebu i bio prvi Dubrovčanin koji je diplomu liječnika dobio na Medicinskom fakultetu zagrebačkog Sveučilišta. Specijalizirao je dermatovenerologiju u Beču i radio kao specijalist u Dubrovniku. Obojica su bili članovi liječničkih udruženja (na lokalnoj i na nacionalnoj razini), a bili su utjecajni i u društvenom životu grada.
Medicine and physicians in Dubrovnik during the last two centuries, i.e. in the period after the dissolution of the Republic of Dubrovnik by Napoleon’s Army, have attracted less interest among medical historians. In this paper, the lives and medical careers of two physicians from Dubrovnik, father and son, Baldo and Ante Bibica, have been reconstructed from the end of the nineteenth and the first half of the twen-tieth century by searching through the contemporary medical journals and news-papers as well as private archives of the members of family Bibica. Baldo Bibica graduated medicine in Vienna and spent the whole professional life as a municipal physician, at first, in the places in the vicinity of Dubrovnik and from 1903 in Gruž. Ante Bibica studied medicine in Graz and in Zagreb to become the first person from Dubrovnik promoted at the School of Medicine, Zagreb University. He specialized in dermatovenerology in Vienna and worked, as a specialist, in Dubrovnik. They both were active in the professional medical societies (at local and national levels) and were influential in the social life in Dubrovnik.
Napredak u svladavanju tuberkuloze postignut u zadnjim godinama u Hrvatskoj posebno dolazi do izražaja kada se usporedi sa stanjem u prošlosti kada se tuberkulozu kao društveni problem mjerilo i ...prikazivalo brojem umrlih od te bolesti. No svijest o globalnom problemu koji tuberkuloza danas, još uvijek, predstavlja tjera na trajni oprez i pažljivo vrednovanje raspoloživih mjera i postupaka u borbi s tuberkulozom koja se dosad pokazala "teško uhvatljivim" neprijateljem i uspješno izmicala konačnom cilju tj. iskorjenjivanju.

In his career, somewhat longer than 22 years, Lehner was frequently transferred from place to place. Beside working as municipal and county physician he worked also as a spa doctor. Very much ...interested in the stuttering treatment, his own problem that he had solved during his student period in Vienna, he kept trying to sensitize his fellow-doctors, teachers, but also the Croatian authorities for this problem. He lectured and published on this topic in the professional medical journal, but also in the newspapers. About stuttering he published, at his own expenses, first a booklet (1895) and then a book (1912). Therefore it is justified to consider him a pioneer of logopedy in Croatia albeit, regrettably, forgotten. In order to improve the health situation in Croatia as well as the social status of his profession, he wrote about the health system and the position of doctor in the society.
Dr Anto Marić (1897-1982) was born in Vukšić in Bosnia. He completed medical studies in Vienna and Prague. He published his results from the Department for dermatovenerology at Sarajevo State ...Hospital, Bosnia. He engaged himself in the movement against alcoholism, too. Later he moved to the Neuropsychiatry ward in Belgrade and was appointed manager in a new psychiatry hospital in Kovin, Serbia. For years he had been a community physician in Stanišić in Vojvodina. During the Second World War, he worked in the psychiatric hospital Vrapče at the outskirts of Zagreb, Croatia and after the war he became the head of a thermal spa in Srebrenica, Bosnia. After specialisation in balneology, he came to Rijeka to overlook the reconstruction of a thermal spa near Buzet in Istria. He made use of his long experience in dermatovenerology, neuropsychiatry and balneology to promote the importance of the unity between physical and psychological for maintaining human health.
Dr Curinaldi was a fortunate combination of Italian background, Austro-Hungarian education, and life in a Croatian community where Catholicism met Islam. In a word, he was a genuine European ...multicultural intellectual. Ninety years of life and sixty-six years of medical career from Zadar to Mostar and to Sarajevo at the turn of the 20th century speak not only about his personal development and dilemmas, but also about social turmoils of the times. His life teaches us that a physician, in addition to his calling to always strive to help the sick and weak, must never forget his role of educator and active member of the community.
Born in Rijeka and studied medicine in Vienna, Paris and Prague. He started his medical career in Belgrade State Hospital in 1920 but since 1922 he worked as an assistent at the State Institute of ...Epidemiology in Zagreb. In 1924 he was sent to USA to specialize in bacteriology, serology and immunology. Back in Zagreb he was engaged in antidiphtheric serum production. Later he became more interested in different aspects of community hygiene. After the World War II he was the Head of Sanitary and Epidemiological Station in Zagreb. Later he was appointed as Chief Sanitary Inspector in Zagreb. He was a lecturer in community hygiene at the School of Medicine University of Zagreb. He contributed numerous articles for the Medical Encyclopedia as well as for the Maritime Encyclopedia. He participated actively and lectured at the meetings of the Section for the History of Medicine of the Croatian Medical Association. He published 125 papers, and three of them appeared in the distinguished international scientific journal. He died in 1975 in Zagreb.
