Syphilis is a sexually transmitted, systemic disease caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum. The most common mechanism of transmission is sexual intercourse. Although there are several ...hypotheses, the exact origin of the disease remains unknown. Newly published evidence suggests that the hypothesis supporting the theory of the American origin of the disease is the valid one. Among 1500 analyzed pathographies of composers and musicians, data on ten Anglo-American composers and jazz musicians having suffered from neurosyphilis (tertiary stage of the disease) were extracted for this report. In this group of Anglo-American composers and musicians, most of them died from progressive paralysis while still in the creative phase of life. Additionally, diagnoses of eleven other famous neurosyphilitic composers, as well as basic biographic data on ten less known composers that died from neurosyphilis-progressive paralysis are also briefly mentioned. In conclusion, neurosyphilis can cause serious neurological damage, as well as permanent disability or death, preventing further work and skill improvement.
In this article the authors are presenting medical diseases of the Russian composers. On the first place the authors analyzed “The Five” (M. A. Balakirev, A.P. Borodin, C.A. Cui, M.P. Musorgski and ...N. Rimski-Korsakov). “The Five” created special and different musical expression in the contrast to the rest of the Europe. Their work is a spontaneous continuation of one tradition and also the inspiration for the other composers. The other 29 Russian composers and their patographies are presented chronologically.
Sifilis je spolno prenosiva, sistemska bolest uzrokovana spirohetnom bakterijom Treponema pallidum. Najčešći način prijenosa bolesti je spolni odnos. Iako ima više hipoteza, točno podrijetlo bolesti ...još je uvijek nepoznato. Nedavno objavljeni podaci pokazuju da je najvjerojatnije točna hipoteza koja podupire teoriju američkog podrijetla bolesti. Među 1500 analiziranih patografi ja skladatelja i glazbenika za ovaj prikaz izdvojeni su podaci o deset angloameričkih skladatelja i jazz glazbenika koji su bolovali od neurosifi lisa (tercijarni stadij bolesti). U analiziranoj skupini angloameričkih skladatelja i glazbenika većina ih je umrla od progresivne paralize dok su još uvijek bili u kreativnoj fazi života. Dodatno, ukratko su prikazane dijagnoze jedanaestorice drugih slavnih skladatelja neurosifi litičara te također osnovni biografski podaci desetorice manje poznatih skladatelja koji su umrli od neurosifi lisa odnosno progresivne paralize. U zaključku, neurosifi lis može uzrokovati značajno neurološko oštećenje, a u težim slučajevima također dovesti do trajnog invaliditeta ili smrti i time spriječiti daljnji rad i profesionalni razvoj.

Opća skupština Europskog konzorcija Europskih sveučilišta o Art terapijama ECArTE (18.-20. svibnja 2009., Lovran, Hrvatska)
Osvrt na Peti međunarodni simpozij o komplementarnim suportivnim terapijama ...«Umjetnost i znanost u razvoju životnog potencijala» (21.do 24. svibnja 2009., Lovran, Hrvatska)
Various cultures have been intertwined on the territory of Croatia, the autochthonous Croatian, as well as Central European cultures, i.e. Germanic and Hungarian, but also the Mediterranean, mostly ...Italian. That orientation was borne out by Julije Bajamonti (1744 -1800), a great Croatian composer and physician, worldwide famous polymath and polyglot. The creative and therapeutic approach was primarily discussed in his essay II medico e la música, in which Bajamonti emphasized the importance of the creative approach to treatment, presented the examples of insufficiency of the then bleak science, and stressed the value of musical and literary creative components, both in the preventive and in the therapeutic sense. The author relates those moments from the Croatian history and the activity of Julije Bajamonti with the contemporary development of art therapies and the multicultural meaning of creativity in treatment and rehabilitation. To that end, the work of Bajamonti is described in several chapters and some considerations on the importance of that knowledge in the development of the philosophy of the discipline and in the interdisciplinary field of art therapies are presented.
Felix Mendelssohn, Goethe's favorite, who revealed the genius ofJohann Sebastian Bach after almost a century of oblivion, was of a fragile constitution. Last year of his life he was very depressed ...because of his sister Fanny's sudden death. The last month he had several attacks of severe headaches with agitation, anxiety, confusion and slow pulse. Last three days these episodes became more frequent and his overall health worsened. After stupor and coma, he died from probable subarachnoid (or cerebral) hemorrhage (with hypertension?), like his sister several months before.
