John Collins Warren and his act of conscience: a brief narrative of the trial and triumph of a great surgeon. (1/2006)
On examination of the correspondence among the principals involved, as well as the original patent application being prepared by Morton, it has become possible to reconstruct some of the remarkable details attending the first use of ether anesthesia at the Massachusetts General Hos pital in the autumn of 1846. At the time that Warren invited Morton to demonstrate the use of his "ethereal vapor" for anesthesia in a minor operation on Oct. 16, 1846, the exact chemical composition of the agent used was being held secret by Morton; Warren was clearly disturbed by this unethical use of a secret "nostrum." When the time arrived 3 weeks later for its possible use for a serious "capital" operation, Warren employed a simple stratagem of public confrontation to discover from Morton the true nature of the substance to be used. On being informed that it was pure unadulterated sulfuric ether, not some mysterious new discovery labeled "Letheon," Warren gave approval for its first use in a "capital" operation (low thigh amputation) on Nov. 7, 1846. Despite this revelation to the immediate participants, a veil of secrecy continued to surround the substance for many months, an anomalous situation evidently traceable to Morton's desire for personal reward from the discovery. It was this matter of secrecy, rather than priority for its discovery, that surrounded the early use of ether anesthesia with controversy and recrimination both in this country and abroad. (+info)The pneumococcus at the millennium: not down, not out. (2/2006)
In the 12 decades that will have elapsed between the first isolation of the pneumococcus and the coming millennium, much of fundamental biologic importance has been learned from the study of this bacterium and the diseases it causes. Streptococcus pneumoniae is associated with the development of Gram's stain, the Quellung reaction, and many of the fundamentals of immunology. It has also played a significant role in the history of antimicrobial therapy. After a transitory period of euphoria engendered by the improved prognosis of pneumococcal pneumonia resulting from therapeutic advances, recognition that the newer treatments could not bring about the recovery of those sustaining early irreversible physiologic injury led to renewed interest in immunoprophylaxis. Added impetus to this approach has been fostered by the recent rapid increase in the number of pneumococcal isolates resistant to antimicrobial agents and in the magnitude of their resistance. Pneumococcal vaccines are increasingly relevant. (+info)Early theory and research on hemispheric specialization. (3/2006)
This article provides an account of early theory and research on hemispheric specialization. It begins by tracing theory and research on localization of function that set the stage for the discovery of hemispheric specialization. After that, it describes the studies of Paul Broca, John Hughlings-Jackson, and others on hemisphere specialization and reviews some of the proposed explanations for the phenomenon. It then turns to the study of hemispheric specialization and mental illness, and it ends by identifying some of the linkages between theory and research from the past and the present. (+info)An appreciation of A.E. Malloch, MB, MD (1844-1919): a forgotten surgical pioneer. (4/2006)
Dr. Archibald Edward Malloch was a surgeon whose life and work were greatly influenced by Joseph Lister and his revolutionary system of antiseptic surgery. This paper describes how a young Canadian medical man came to introduce Lister's system to North America in 1869 and studies his career in the light of Lister's surgical epoch. (+info)Vitamin A as "anti-infective" therapy, 1920-1940. (5/2006)
In the last fifteen years, a large series of controlled clinical trials showed that vitamin A supplementation reduces morbidity and mortality of children in developing countries. It is less well known that vitamin A underwent two decades of intense clinical investigation prior to World War II. In the 1920s, a theory emerged that vitamin A could be used in "anti-infective" therapy. This idea, largely championed by Edward Mellanby, led to a series of at least 30 trials to determine whether vitamin A--usually supplied in the form of cod-liver oil--could reduce the morbidity and mortality of respiratory disease, measles, puerperal sepsis, and other infections. The early studies generally lacked such innovations known to the modern controlled clinical trial such as randomization, masking, sample size and power calculations, and placebo controls. Results of the early trials were mixed, but the pharmaceutical industry emphasized the positive results in their advertising to the public. With the advent of the sulfa antibiotics for treatment of infections, scientific interest in vitamin A as "anti-infective" therapy waned. Recent controlled clinical trials of vitamin A from the last 15 y follow a tradition of investigation that began largely in the 1920s. (+info)Rapid economic growth and 'the four Ds' of disruption, deprivation, disease and death: public health lessons from nineteenth-century Britain for twenty-first-century China? (6/2006)
Rapid economic growth has always entailed serious disruption: environmental, ideological, and political. As a result the relationship between economic growth and public health is complex since such disruption always threatens to spill over into deprivation, disease and death. The populations of most current high-income, high-life expectancy countries of 'the West' endured several decades of severely compromised health when they first experienced industrialization in the last century Although health technologies have moved on, the social, administrative and political disruption accompanying economic growth can still impede the delivery of health improvements. The case history of 19th-century laissez-faire Britain is explored in some detail to demonstrate the importance of these social and political forces, particularly the relative vigour and participatory nature of local government, linking to recent work on the importance of social capital in development. For a country like China today, paradoxically, there is nothing that needs such careful planning as a 'free market' economy. (+info)Chemical hormesis: its historical foundations as a biological hypothesis. (7/2006)
Despite the long history of hormesis-related experimental research, no systematic effort to describe its early history has been undertaken. The present paper attempts to reconstruct and assess the early history of such research and to evaluate how advances in related scientific fields affected the course of hormesis-related research. The purpose of this paper is not only to satisfy this gap in current knowledge but also to provide a foundation for the assessment of how the concept of hormetic dose-response relationships may have affected the nature of the bioassay, especially with respect to hazard assessment practices within a modern risk assessment framework. (+info)Milestones in the research on tobacco mosaic virus. (8/2006)
Beijerinck's (1898) recognition that the cause of tobacco mosaic disease was a novel kind of pathogen became the breakthrough which eventually led to the establishment of virology as a science. Research on this agent, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), has continued to be at the forefront of virology for the past century. After an initial phase, in which numerous biological properties of TMV were discovered, its particles were the first shown to consist of RNA and protein, and X-ray diffraction analysis of their structure was the first of a helical nucleoprotein. In the molecular biological phase of research, TMV RNA was the first plant virus genome to be sequenced completely, its genes were found to be expressed by cotranslational particle disassembly and the use of subgenomic mRNA, and the mechanism of assembly of progeny particles from their separate parts was discovered. Molecular genetical and cell biological techniques were then used to clarify the roles and modes of action of the TMV non-structural proteins: the 126 kDa and 183 kDa replicase components and the 30 kDa cell-to-cell movement protein. Three different TMV genes were found to act as avirulence genes, eliciting hypersensitive responses controlled by specific, but different, plant genes. One of these (the N gene) was the first plant gene controlling virus resistance to be isolated and sequenced. In the biotechnological sphere, TMV has found several applications: as the first source of transgene sequences conferring virus resistance, in vaccines consisting of TMV particles genetically engineered to carry foreign epitopes, and in systems for expressing foreign genes. TMV owes much of its popularity as a research mode to the great stability and high yield of its particles. Although modern methods have much decreased the need for such properties, and TMV may have a less dominant role in the future, it continues to occupy a prominent position in both fundamental and applied research. (+info)Scurvy is a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in the diet. It is characterized by symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, joint pain, and bleeding gums. In severe cases, scurvy can lead to anemia, skin hemorrhages, and even death. Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen, a protein that is important for the health of connective tissues such as skin, bones, and blood vessels. Without enough vitamin C, the body is unable to produce collagen, leading to the symptoms of scurvy. Scurvy was a common disease among sailors and pirates in the past, as their diets often lacked fresh fruits and vegetables, which are rich sources of vitamin C. Today, scurvy is rare in developed countries, as the diet is typically rich in vitamin C-containing foods. However, it can still occur in people with certain medical conditions or dietary restrictions that limit their intake of vitamin C.
In the medical field, "plague" refers to a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. The disease is typically transmitted to humans through the bites of infected fleas that live on rodents. There are three main forms of plague: bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, and septicemic plague. Bubonic plague is the most common form and is characterized by the development of painful, swollen lymph nodes (buboes) in the groin, armpit, or neck. Pneumonic plague is the most severe form and is characterized by the development of pneumonia (lung infection) that can be fatal if left untreated. Septicemic plague is a rare form that spreads rapidly through the bloodstream and can cause shock and organ failure. Plague is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease, but it is relatively rare in modern times. Treatment with antibiotics is usually effective if administered promptly. However, if left untreated, plague can be fatal.
In the medical field, communicable diseases are infections that can be transmitted from one person to another through various means such as direct contact, respiratory droplets, bodily fluids, or contaminated surfaces. These diseases can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, and can affect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. Examples of communicable diseases include influenza, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis B and C, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and foodborne illnesses. These diseases can spread rapidly in crowded or poorly ventilated environments, and can cause serious health complications if left untreated. Preventing the spread of communicable diseases involves practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands regularly, covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and getting vaccinated when possible. Healthcare professionals also play a crucial role in identifying and treating communicable diseases, as well as implementing public health measures to control their spread.
Smallpox is a highly contagious and deadly viral disease that has been eradicated worldwide through a global vaccination campaign led by the World Health Organization (WHO). The disease is caused by the Variola virus and is transmitted through the air by coughing, sneezing, or close personal contact with an infected person. Smallpox has two main forms: variola major and variola minor. Variola major is the more severe form and is characterized by high fever, severe headache, and a characteristic rash that spreads all over the body. Variola minor is less severe and has a milder course of illness. Smallpox was a major public health problem for centuries, causing millions of deaths worldwide. The first successful smallpox vaccine was developed in 1796 by Edward Jenner, and since then, vaccination has been the most effective way to prevent the disease. The last naturally occurring case of smallpox was reported in Somalia in 1977, and the disease was declared eradicated in 1980.
Periostitis is an inflammation of the periosteum, which is the layer of connective tissue that covers the bone. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including infection, injury, or underlying medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoporosis. Symptoms of periostitis may include pain, swelling, and tenderness around the affected bone, as well as redness and warmth in the area. Treatment for periostitis typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the inflammation and may include medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroids, as well as physical therapy or other supportive measures. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove infected tissue or repair damaged bone.
DNA, Mitochondrial refers to the genetic material found within the mitochondria, which are small organelles found in the cells of most eukaryotic organisms. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a small circular molecule that is separate from the nuclear DNA found in the cell nucleus. Mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited, meaning that a person inherits their mtDNA from their mother. Unlike nuclear DNA, which is diploid (contains two copies of each gene), mtDNA is haploid (contains only one copy of each gene). Mutations in mitochondrial DNA can lead to a variety of inherited disorders, including mitochondrial disorders, which are a group of conditions that affect the mitochondria and can cause a range of symptoms, including muscle weakness, fatigue, and neurological problems.
In the medical field, neoplasms refer to abnormal growths or tumors of cells that can occur in any part of the body. These growths can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign neoplasms are usually slow-growing and do not spread to other parts of the body. They can cause symptoms such as pain, swelling, or difficulty moving the affected area. Examples of benign neoplasms include lipomas (fatty tumors), hemangiomas (vascular tumors), and fibromas (fibrous tumors). Malignant neoplasms, on the other hand, are cancerous and can spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. They can cause a wide range of symptoms, depending on the location and stage of the cancer. Examples of malignant neoplasms include carcinomas (cancers that start in epithelial cells), sarcomas (cancers that start in connective tissue), and leukemias (cancers that start in blood cells). The diagnosis of neoplasms typically involves a combination of physical examination, imaging tests (such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans), and biopsy (the removal of a small sample of tissue for examination under a microscope). Treatment options for neoplasms depend on the type, stage, and location of the cancer, as well as the patient's overall health and preferences.
Cholera is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It is primarily spread through contaminated water or food, and can cause severe diarrhea and dehydration, which can lead to death if left untreated. Symptoms of cholera include severe diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and a rapid heartbeat. Treatment typically involves rehydration therapy to replace fluids and electrolytes lost through diarrhea, as well as antibiotics to kill the bacteria causing the infection. Cholera is most common in developing countries with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water.
The smallpox vaccine is a live-attenuated vaccine that is used to prevent smallpox, a highly contagious and deadly viral disease. The vaccine is made from a weakened form of the variola virus, which causes smallpox. When administered, the vaccine triggers the body's immune system to produce antibodies that can protect against future infection with the virus. The smallpox vaccine is typically given as a series of two injections, with the second dose given 4-8 weeks after the first. The vaccine can cause side effects, including fever, headache, and a rash, but these are generally mild and temporary. Serious side effects are rare. The smallpox vaccine was one of the most effective vaccines ever developed, and it played a crucial role in the global eradication of smallpox in 1980. However, since smallpox has been eradicated, the vaccine is no longer widely used. It is only available in limited quantities for use in laboratory settings and in the event of a smallpox outbreak.
