Defining the Role of the Fire and Rescue Service in Mental Health Support for Older Adults
INTRODUCTION: Anxiety and depression in older adults (60+ years of age) are under-diagnosed and under-treated. Older adults are less likely to seek help for these problems due to a lack of awareness, difficulty accessing health care due to availability or disability and fear of loss of independence. Existing points of contact between older adults and non-traditional services, for example, the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS), could provide opportuni…
A Change Very Perceptible and Very Oppressive”
Europeans who wrote about Brazil during the colonial period (1500–1822) usually depicted the country as a healthy Eden and an exception to the "torrid zone." For more than three centuries, a mostly positive impression of health and climate, shared by intellectuals across the Atlantic, influenced colonialism, European rivalries, the slave trade, and early national sentiment. The enduring reputation was ruined suddenly in the mid-nineteenth century…

História da saúde no Brasil
Brazil has one of the largest groups of scholars dedicated to the history of medicine and health. They have also organized, thanks to the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), a massive institution of social medicine and biology in Rio de Janeiro. In 1986, Fiocruz added a center for the history and memory of science and health, and over the last 30 years, it has grown an impressive graduate program and edited one of Brazil's best journals. Since 201…
Randall M. Packard. A History of Global Health
Randall M. Packard’s book is missing a word in its title. That word could be “failed,” such as “A Failed History of Global Health,” or “crisis,” as in “A History of the Global Health-Care Crisis.” These alternative titles more descriptively capture the author’s bold assertion that “health interventions have failed to address the basic health needs of people living in many parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America over the course of the previous ce…

Médicos intérpretes do Brasil
Médicos intérpretes do Brasil reveals a surprising fact: Brazil has the largest and most organized community of professional historians dedicated to medicine. Evidence can be found in the scope of this book: 640 pages and 27 essays, each written by a different scholar and paired with a historical document. Almost all the contributors are Brazilian, most have doctoral degrees and teach history of medicine at the university level, and at least half…

The Hierarchies of Slavery in Santos, Brazil, 1822–1888
Despite the inherent brutality of slavery, some slaves could find small but important opportunities to act decisively. The Hierarchies of Slavery in Santos, Brazil, 1822-1888 explores such moments of opportunity and resistance in Santos, a Southeastern township in Imperial Brazil. It argues that slavery in Brazil was hierarchical: slaves' fleeting chances to form families, work jobs that would not kill or maim, avoid debilitating diseases, or fin…

The New Brazil - by Roett, Riordan
A triumphant decline
Tetanus and other widespread endemic diseases of Brazil's early national period speak to intimate details of common life and give clues to big, vexing questions, such as why Brazil's population expanded dramatically at the turn of the twentieth century. Tetanus was for a long time one of Brazil's deadliest afflictions, especially among infants, but historians know very little about it. Using archival sources from across the Empire and early Repub…
Off the Block but within the Neighbourhood
This article compares slave-trading networks in the 1860s and 1870s in Santos and Mogi das Cruzes, two largely dissimilar townships in the south-eastern province of São Paulo, Brazil. These local markets had different structural patterns, even though buyers in both places depended on personal connections to procure single or very small lots of slaves. Santos had a more defined network of slave traders, while buyers and sellers in Mogi das Cruzes …
Sickness, Recovery, and Death among the Enslaved and Free People of Santos, Brazil, 1860–1888
Between 1802 and 1849, cholera and influenza pandemics killed hundreds of thousands from Shanghai to Seville to New York, but these diseases did not dip below the South American portion of the equator. As a result, Brazil gained a reputation of good health, an opinion confirmed by European travelers and some provincial authorities. This rosy reputation wilted in 1849 when a yellow fever epidemic devastated several seaports, including the imperial…
From Slavery to Freedom in Brazil
Bankers, Industrialists, and their Cliques
The historiographies of Mexico and Brazil have implicitly stated that business networks were crucial for the initial industrialization of these two countries. Recently, differing visions on the importance of business networks have arisen. In the case of Mexico, the literature argues that entrepreneurs relied heavily on an informal institutional structure to obtain necessary resources and information. In contrast, the recent historiography of Braz…
