RESUMO
The discovery was recently announced in the scientific literature of a self-caricature of the great Renaissance artist and genius of human anatomy, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), concealed in a drawing from 1525. This drawing is held in the collection of the British Museum in London, England. In it, the artist portrayed the Marchesa di Pescara, Vittoria Colonna (1490-1547). The present article considers evidence that Michelangelo may have depicted himself in another portrait of Vittoria Colonna, dated to approximately 1522, which is currently in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England. This concealed silhouetted figure displays physical features strikingly similar to those depicted in portraits of Michelangelo by his contemporaries, and in the description of the artist by Michelangelo's biographer, Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574): the large body, the shape of the face, the beard and the flattened nose. In this context, the present article could serve to facilitate analyses of the physical form and even of the state of health (from 1522) of one of the foremost anatomists of the Renaissance. Clin.

The Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) is one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century. Although famous for her colorful self-portraits and associations with celebrities Diego Rivera and Leon Trotsky, less known is the fact that she had lifelong chronic pain. Frida Kahlo developed poliomyelitis at age 6 years, was in a horrific trolley car accident in her teens, and would eventually endure numerous failed spinal surgeries and, ultimately, limb amputation. She endured several physical, emotional, and psychological traumas in her lifetime, yet through her art, she was able to transcend a life of pain and disability. Of her work, her self-portraits are conspicuous in their capacity to convey her life experience, much of which was imbued with chronic pain. Signs and symptoms of chronic neuropathic pain and central sensitization of nociceptive pathways are evident when analyzing her paintings and medical history. This article uses a narrative approach to describe how events in the life of this artist contributed to her chronic pain. The purpose of this article is to discuss Frida Kahlo's medical history and her art from a modern pain sciences perspective, and perhaps to increase our understanding of the pain experience from the patient's perspective.

Se presenta evidencia de que cuando la fotografía del Carrión mestizo fue publicada en las primeras décadas del siglo XX no hubo cuestionamiento alguno de parte de los médicos que lo conocieron ni de los historiadores de la medicina nacional de entonces. Además, el estudio de las proporciones de los rostros de las diversas figuras de Carrión demuestra que se trata de la misma persona.
It is showed evidence that when mestizo CarrionÆs photograph was published in the first decades of the 20th century there was no questioning on the part of physicians who knew him neither the historians of the national medicine by then. In addition, the study of the proportions of the faces of Carrion in different portraits shows us that it is the same person.

BACKGROUND: In Mexico among physicians it is common to use the term "bus diagnosis" to mean one that can be done only by looking someone, thanks to knowledge, experience and a bit of imagination. Ophthalmologists are able to do specialty diagnosis in some pictures of famous painters, thus "museum diagnosis." METHODS: An aesthetic and historical research conducted for years provided the material. RESULTS: We present herein some examples of portraits made by Sharaku, Georg Groz, Il Bronzino, De la Tour, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Reynolds, Remedios Varo, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Ingres and others. CONCLUSION: The "museum diagnosis" enhances interest and aesthetic pleasure. Art could be useful as a tool for teaching clinical ophthalmology.
antecedentes: en el medio médico de México es común utilizar el término "diagnóstico de camión" para referirse al que puede hacerse sólo con echar un vistazo a alguna persona, gracias al conocimiento y experiencia previos, con algo de imaginación. Eso mismo, como especial privilegio, puede hacer el oftalmólogo al contemplar algunos cuadros de pintores famosos; es decir "diagnóstico de museo." Material y métodos: la investigación estética e histórica efectuada durante años proporcionó el material. Resultados: se expusieron algunos ejemplos en obras de Sharaku, Georg Groz, Il Bronzino, De la Tour, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Reynolds, Remedios Varo, Tolouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Ingres y otros. Conclusiones: los "diagnósticos de museo" hacen más interesantes los cuadros e incrementan el placer estético. El arte puede servir como herramienta para la enseñanza clínica de la oftalmología.
