Het Coolsingelziekenhuis te Rotterdam (1839–1900): de ontwikkeling van een stedelijk ziekenhuis in de 19e eeuw

Its Finnish counterpart is more for the scholar. Its strength lies in its use of the inscriptions of doctors, written in both Greek and Latin, to give some idea of their social position, a favourite Finnish theme that goes back to Gummerus.

`De bevordering en volmaking der proefondervindelijke wijsbegeerte': de rol van het Bataafsch Genootschap te Rotterdam in de geschiedenis van de natuurwetenschappen, geneeskunde en techniek (1769–1988)

Radiographic examination revealed multiple semicircular and millet-sized radiolucencies at the endplates of several adjacent caudal vertebr...
