Albert Valdes – 120

Ülikooli loodusteaduskonda, 1909. a aga läks üle arstiteaduskonda ja lõpetas selle 1914. a. III kursuse üliõpilasena hakkas A. Valdes prof V. Afanasjevi juhendamisel loomkatsete varal välja selgitama salvarsaani toksilist mõju kudedele ja 1912. a aastal sai ta teadusliku uurimuse eest kuldmedali (1). Aastatel 1912–1914 töötas ta TÜ patoloogia instituudi prosektori abi kohusetäitjana ja samal ajal patoloogilise anatoomia assistendina Tartu loodus- ja meditsiiniteaduste eraülikoolis (Rostovtsevi eraülikool). Instituudi teaduslik õhkkond vaimustas Valdest ja oli pikemata selge, et temast saab patoloog. Looduse poolt oli noormehele kaasa antud suurepärane joonistamisoskus (2). A Valdes abiellus 1912. a Rostovtsevi eraülikoolis õppiva Maria Valsiga, abiellumiseks tuli luba küsida ülikooli rektorilt (2). Eesti Arst 2005; 84 (1): 60-6

Fulfilment of August Antonius Rauber’s long-time dream

In his educational work, August Antonius Rauber, professor of Anatomy of the University of Dorpat (nowadays the University of Tartu) paid great attention to improving students’ training. He expected the educational museum of anatomy to be of great help in this. He began arranging it immediately after his arrival in Tartu in 1886. Professor Rauber lectured in German, but the number of Russian students was increasing rapidly in that period. Their command of German was limited – therefore, illustration of lectures with models and original specimens was of great significance. The museum opened in 1890 and found great recognition because of the quality of its specimens, originality of models and general organisation. Part of the exhibits of the educational museum of anatomy have been preserved to the present, and they are displayed at the exhibition of the Medical Collections of the Faculty of Medicine and are used in everyday work of the Department of Anatomy

11th workshop of EAMHMS “New life of old skeletons and papier mache models”. July 4–6 2013 in Tartu

Membership in the European Union has given the unique collections gathered during 200 years by the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Tartu an opportunity to belong to the European Association of the Museums of History of Medical Sciences, which in its turn has enabled us to cooperate with the most influential and famous medical museums of Europe. When questions arise, it is possible to invite an expert from a cooperation partner, to visit other institutions to gain experience, and being in the role of an expert, to train the specialists of other museums. It is possible to participate in the congresses and conferences arranged by the major European museums, to examine the treasures of their collections. Thus, Tartu has been visited by experts from the Netherlands, Latvia and Lithuania. There have already been ten practical training workshops, and in 2013 the practical teaching of new methods and techniques was entrusted to the Medical Collections of the University of Tartu. The workshop was held from 4–6 July at the AHHAA Science Centre, as the Medical Collections of the Faculty of Medicine are also located in the exhibition space of AHHAA. In addition to experts from different institutes of the University of Tartu, the participants included museum workers from the United Kingdom, India, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Sweden, Russia, Rumania and Ukraine. At the session of theoretical papers, the participants listened to presentations from the history of the Association to chemical analysis of excavated skeletons. In practical workshops, supervised by experts from Tartu, cleaning of pathological models made of papier mache and stopping of their disintegration, cleaning of bones, either ravaged with age or just arrived from excavations, and preparation of the eye were practised. One of the financial supporters of the event was EAMHMS

Alexander Theodor von Middendorff – doctor, explorer and promoter of cattle-breeding

Alexander Theodor von Middendorff is considered one of the most pioneering scientists. As a talented researcher, Alexander Theodor von Middendorff made his contribution to the development of geography, hydrology, climatology, botany, glaciology, zoology, agriculture, ethnography (partly even linguistics) and other sciences. Along with K. E. von Baer, Alexander Theodor von Middendorff was one of the greatest naturalists in 19th-century Russia. Like Baer, Middendorff represents the type of naturalists who, in addition to encyclopaedic knowledge, had deep erudition and were able to contribute to several fields

Tsaaritohter Philipp Jakob Karell

Philipp Jakob Karell (1806–1886) oli üks silmapaistvamaid eesti soost haritlasi, kes 19. sajandil jõudis Vene tsaari lähikonda. Alates 1849. aastast oli ta tsaari perekonna ihuarst. Ta oli Venemaa Punase Risti Seltsi asutajaliige. Oma kaas aegsete hinnangul ei häbenenud ta oma eesti talupojaperekonna päritolu ja elu lõpuni säilitas tihedad sidemed sünnimaaga ning eesti haritlastega. Ph. Karell püüdis igapidi kasutada oma sidemeid eestlaste kultuuri ja hariduse edendamiseks. Ta valiti oma eluajal Tartu Ülikooli audoktoriks ja Tallinna aukodanikuks. Eesti Arst 2007; 86(4):287-29
