Uma 'biblioteca sem paredes': história da criação da Bireme

Approaching from the framework of social, political, and economic contexts, the article analyzes the process involved in creation of the Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (Bireme). The period in question coincides with the consolidation of US influence in the West, between the 1950s and 1970s. A recovery and examination of reference documents and testimonies permits a discussion of the issues involved in setting up what was first known as the Regional Library of Medicine, an initiative in cultural and scientific integration that was highly influential in Latin American health sciences. The article offers reflections on the historical development of the institution as an initiative of the Pan American Health Organization and its subsequent role.

O ensino médico em debate: São Paulo - 1890 a 1930

The aim of this article is to evaluate the idealizations of medical education institutions and their implementation between 1890 and 1930. The case of the state of São Paulo is particular. Firstly, for the absence of a medical school until the beginning of the 20th century. Besides, for the gap between the law, of 1891, which forsaw the installation of such a school, and the effective creation of an official faculty in the state, in 1913. Our point of view considers that this process is a consequence of an attempt of the local medical field informization. For one hand, it was searched by trying to enhance the medical speech when compared with others health professional groups speeches, mainly the pharmaceutical one. For other hand, by seeking to give the local medical knowledge production process a laboratorial profile, which was considered both in a therapeutic and in an experimental point of view. Our conclusion is that the establishment of a medical faculty in São Paulo was made possible only after a relative consensus about these issues, allowing the relationship between medical education and experimental medicine.
