Biography Historical Article[Dr. Nicolaes Tulp's anatomy lecture].
"The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp" (1632) is one of Rembrandt's most famous paintings. ⋯ Some inconsistencies in the perspective, the size and anatomy of the dissected arm, and the doctor's slightly awkward hand pose, have been put down to Rembrandt's lack of experience and ignorance of anatomy. However, from a surgeon's point of view there are clear indications that Rembrandt fully understood Dr Tulp's lecture and has captured in his painting an accurate demonstration of the functional anatomy of the superficial flexors of the fingers.

Many women undergo anaesthetic procedures related to childbirth or during the period of lactation. Most anaesthetic drugs are lipophilic and are thus excreted into breast milk. This article summarises available knowledge regarding anaesthetics, their excretion into breast milk and possible effects on the suckling infant. The consequences of such an exposure are discussed in terms of whether breast-feeding should be allowed or not after anaesthetic procedures.
