Recent explorations into Sigmund Freud's intellectual development by Frank Sulloway and Lucille Ritvo have directed attention to the significance of evolutionary theory for psychoanalysis. In this paper I shall pursue the exploration by showing how Darwin was received by members of the so-called Helmholtz circle (Hermann von Helmholtz, Emil du Bois-Reymond, Ernst Brücke) and certain of Freud's teachers in the University of Vienna medical school. I will make the point that the Leibniz–Kant background of these several scientists was important for this reception. I will argue that the Leibniz–Kant tradition came forward to Freud by two roads, Helmholtz's unconscious inference as foundation for a physiology of the senses, and Arthur Schopenhauer's not unrelated uses of the principle of sufficient reason to explain the possibility of lawlikeness in a universe of lawless energies. Finally, I will suggest ways in which Freud received and used the tradition.

Dental Schools

Following the annexation of Austria by Hitler's Germany in 1938, officials at the eminent University of Vienna Medical School purged faculty ranks of lews. Among those forced out were several distinguished physician dentists, several of whom emigrated to the United States. The assimilation of foreign-trained dentists raised questions at national meetings of the AADS and the National Association of Dental Examiners. Already existing ties between dental schools in Chicago and the University of Vienna, including the 1928 appointment of Rudolf Kronfeld to the faculty at Loyola, led to the relocation of Balint Orban, Harry Sicher, and Joseph Peter Weinmann in that city. Bernhard Gottlieb, who had been director of the Dental Institute in Vienna, transplanted less easily, but eventually found a niche at the Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas. The careers of the Vienna dentist-scientists strengthened the scientific foundations of clinical dentistry in the United States, contributed to the development of a stronger research establishment, and enlarged the scope of oral biology.

The Impact

SummaryThis article discusses the impact of the ‘second’ Vienna Medical School, hallmarked by Karl Rokitansky, Joseph Skoda and Ferdinand Hebra, on the study and practice of medicine in Hungary. Six medical doctors’ lives and achievements are outlined, who formed a bridge between Vienna and Budapest through their studies and work. Four of them returned to Hungary and promoted the cause of medicine and medical education there. Lajos Arányi (1812–1877) founded in 1844 the Institute of Pathology at the University of Pest. János Balassa (1814–1868) took the Chair of the Surgical Department. Ignaz Philip Semmelweis (1818–1865), the ‘Saviour of Mothers’, received a position at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Vienna in 1846. Gustav Scheuthauer (1832–1894) became Arányi’s successor. Each of them continued to keep contact with their tutors in Vienna, especially with Karl Rokitansky, and followed the clinicopathological conception pioneered by the Vienna Medical School regarding diagnostics, treatment and prevention of diseases. Two physicians remained in Vienna: Mór Kaposi (1837–1902), who became known worldwide posthumously due to the connection between Kaposi’s sarcoma and AIDS, was the director of the Department of Dermatology of the Vienna University in 1878. Salomon Stricker (1837–1898) undertook the leadership of the Department of General and Experimental Pathology in 1872.

Summary Objectives: Today, many clinical information systems include analysis components which allow clinicians to apply a selection of predefined statistical functions that satisfy typical cases. They are mostly to inflexible to handle complex, non-standard problems, however. The focus of this paper, therefore, is to present an approach that enables clinicians to autonomously create ad hoc queries including temporal relations in an interactive environment. Methods: We developed the query language AMAS, which was specifically customized for users from the medical domain to flexibly retrieve and interpret temporal, clinical data. AMAS provides for a significant temporal expressiveness in data retrieval using timestamped clinical databases and relies on an operator-operand concept for the specification of a query. Results: Within the last 25 years, four different clinical retrieval systems have been implemented at the Department of Medical Computer Sciences, based on the AMAS query language. Currently, these systems allow access to the medical records of more than 2 million patients. Physicians of 46 different departments at the University of Vienna and Graz Medical Schools have made extensive use of these systems in the course of clinical research and patient care, executing more than 10.000 queries per year. Conclusions: We discuss a list of 20 issues that represent the most essential lessons we have learned in the development of the four systems mentioned above. Amongst others, our experiences indicate that the operator-operand concept allows an intuitive specification of complex, temporal queries. Further, customization to different user classes, based on their statistical background, is essential.

First Time

The Workshop on Formal Specification Methods for Knowledge-based Systems (KBS) took place in Amsterdam on August 8 1994 as part of the workshop program of the 11th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI'94). It was the sixth workshop in a series concerned with the development and application of formal and executable specification languages for KBSs. Starting from the first familiarization workshop at GMD in Bonn 1992, where the different research groups met for the first time, further successor workshops were held at the University of Karlsruhe, the University of Amsterdam, and again at GMD in Bonn. Additionally, at ECAI'92 in Vienna, a workshop was held to compare different specification approaches for complex multi-layered KBSs.
