Las sociedades científicas tienen como uno de sus más nobles objetivos la promoción de la ciencia en los diferentes campos del conocimiento. La primera sociedad científica fue la Royal Society of London, fundada en 1660 en el Reino Unido, también conocida como la Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge. La sociedad fue creada como “un colegio para la promoción del aprendizaje físico-matemático experimental” que publicó, en el año de 1666, la primera revista científica, Philosophycal Transactions (1, 2) y fue la publicación científica más importante hasta el siglo XIX, cuando aparecieron las revistas científicas especializadas. En Philosophycal Transactions se publicaron inicialmente noticias, cartas y descripciones de informes experimentales sin un formato o estilo estandarizado (3). La primera entidad en publicar una revista médica fue el Edinburgh Medical School, que divulgó el Medical Essays and Observations en 1731, que se transformó dos años más tarde en el Edinburgh Medical Journal y contó con revisión por pares desde el año de 1733 (4). La primera revista médica en Estados Unidos fue la Medical Repository, que apareció en 1797 (5). En el Reino Unido aparecen The Lancet en 1823, para publicar el trabajo desarrollado en las escuelas médicas de Londres y el reporte de casos, y el British Medical Journal en 1853, como resultado de la creación de la British Medical Association (4). En el año 1887, Philosophycal Transactions se dividió en dos nuevas revistas: una dedicada a la publicación de temas de matemáticas y física, y la segunda a temas de biología. A partir de 1989 realizó una importante innovación: la revisión anónima de los contenidos por pares. Los hechos enunciados recuerdan que las revistas científicas médicas se han originado en las sociedades científicas y en las escuelas de medicina con el objetivo de presentar tanto la metodología como los resultados de las investigaciones realizadas, con la característica desde sus inicios de realizar un proceso anónimo y riguroso de revisión por pares.

Postnatal rubella is a mild illness, a disease which was considered to be of only minor importance for many years. The first authors to write about the disease as distinct from other exanthemata were German physicians; they differentiated rubella from measles and scarlet fever in the latter part of the eighteenth century and called the disease Rotheln. Hence the common English language eponym is ‘German measles’. Some consider that the term ‘German’ in German measles is probably of literary rather than of geographical significance and that it came from the old French ‘germain’ (derived from the Latin ‘germanus‘), meaning ‘closely akin to’ measles [1]. That it is not generally called by its German name, Rotheln, is due to Veale, a Scottish physician who in 1866 described 30 cases of rubella in the Edinburgh Medical Journal, and proposed ‘rubella’ as a short and euphonius name that could be easily pronounced [2].

In a former paper I described the variation of the fecundity of women according to age, and arrived at the conclusion that the climax of fecundity in women was at or near the age of 25 years. Researches, completed since that paper was read, regarding the variations of length and weight of children according to the mother's age, and regarding the mortality of childbed as influenced by the mother's age, have been published in the “Edinburgh Medical Journal.” The results of these investigations seem to illustrate and confirm the statement made as to the age of the climax of fecundity, for I have found that, about that age, women produce the bulkiest children, as measured by length and weight; and about the same age of the mother there is the smallest mortality in childbed. As still further adorning the age of 25, I may add, that several sets of observations, including some made in St George's-in-the-East, London, and published in the eleventh volume of the “Journal of the Statistical Society,” show a greater amount of survival and rearing among children born of women about that age than at any other; and recently Dr Arthur Mitchell has published a collection of cases of idiocy, with the respective ages of the mothers at the time of the idiots' births, and these also show a smaller proportion born of women about the age of 25 years than at greater and lesser ages.
