Abstract: This chapter describes Fisher’s main personality characteristics, his modus operandi, and the rules and procedures that characterized his performance after he came to Boston in 1954. The history and milieu at Massachusetts General Hospital are described. The development and evolution of the stroke service at Massachusetts General Hospital and Fisher’s colleagues, especially Raymond Adams and Pierson Richardson, are highlighted. Fisher considered his clinical and laboratory work a full-time job, meaning early in the morning until late at night at least 6 days a week and often all 7 days. During his time in Montreal and his career at MGH, he considered that his main work in life was neurology and stroke.

Abstract The years 1983-84 are anniversary dates for the Clinical Pastoral Education movement. In 1923 Anton Boisen started his studies of mental patients and of psychiatric theory at the Boston Psychopathic Hospital and in July 1924 went to Worcester (Mass.) State Hospital to pioneer a psychiatric hospital chaplaincy that quickly became also an organized training course for clergy interested in dealing with the mentally ill. In the intervening sixty years of specialized mental hospital chaplaincy and Clinical Pastoral Education much has been done with and written about Anton Boisen’s leg acy. It has gone through some significant transformations, and some aspects of Boisen’s original agenda and work have even been forgotten.3-s To the best of my knowledge, very little attention has been given lately to the general premises for and the ways of dealing with religion in the mental hospital, and the anniversary of Boisen’s enterprise is a good occasion for revisiting these topics.

Abstract:
Abstract On the afternoon of March 7, 1845, an 18- year-old “domestic from Ireland,” Alice Mohan, limped into the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston with a swollen right knee. She told the admitting house surgeon, possibly Charles F. Heywood, that the problem had started two months earlier, in the middle of the winter, after she had slipped on the ice and struck her knee. Considerable swelling, acute pain, and bruises followed, with persistent tenderness and discomfort, especially when the leg was in motion. Perhaps the accident was God’s punishment for her sins. At this time, most Irish immigrants were denied admission; instead the hospital referred them to the local almshouse.

Abstract:
Abstract During 1953, while Crick was busy in Cambridge constructing his model of gene action, two groups of biochemists at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston were working on the steps of protein synthesis starting from the level of amino acids. Eventually their studies would lead to the identification of Crick’s adaptors. However, in 1953 they were not aware of Crick’s efforts and they would have been surprised to learn that within a short time they would meet him and become involved in a joint enterprise. In this chapter we see how this meeting came about and how it led to the chemical identification of the adapter molecules.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter considers three case studies—the New England Seafarer’s Mission (NESM), the Boston Fire Department, and Massachusetts General Hospital—to show how chaplains and the organizations they serve responded to religious diversity over time. While some organizations—most notably prisons and the military—offer clear guidance around religious diversity, chaplains in most other settings improvise by neutralizing religious differences and/or code switching, moving between different religious and spiritual languages and registers depending on who they are engaging with and to what end. The chapter shows how they learn to do this in their training and daily work, and how they negotiate personal boundaries around authenticity in the process. Although the majority of chaplains interviewed make space for everyone—even if their personal beliefs and practices challenge their own—a few do not, pointing again to variation among chaplains as a group and the space these roles allow for individual improvisation.

Abstract:
Radioactive iodine has been used successfully for almost 70 years since the first treatment took place at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston in 1941. However, it was not until after the Second World War that 131I became generally available for clinical applications (1). The radioactive iodine isotope is chemically identical to ‘stable’ iodine (127I) and thus becomes a part of the intrathyroidal metabolism. Its principle of action is based on the emission of β‎-rays with a range of 0.5–2 mm in the tissue leading to high local radiation absorbed doses while sparing surrounding structures. The additional γ‎-ray component of 131I allows for scintigraphic imaging of the distribution in the gland and can also be used for pre- and post-therapeutic individual dosimetry (see below). Several therapeutic options are available for the treatment of benign thyroid disorders, namely hyperthyroidism: surgical resection (hemithyroidectomy, near-total, or total thyroidectomy), long-term antithyroid drug medication (ATD), and radio-iodine therapy (RAIT) (2, 3). These different treatment modalities are used in varying frequencies depending on geographical location, e.g. iodine supply, availability and logistics, cultural background, and patient-specific features, e.g. goitre size, presence of local symptoms, age, and hormonal status. The diversity of approaches on an international scale still remains impressive and is reflected by a great heterogeneity throughout Europe and also when compared to the USA where radio-iodine therapy is still being applied more frequently than in most European countries (4–8). Radio-iodine therapy was originally aimed at eliminating hyperthyroidism and thus leaving the patient euthyroid. Up-to-date strategies, however, established postradio-iodine induction of hypothyroidism as the treatment objective and, thus, it is included in the category of ‘cure’. This definition holds especially true for the management of Graves’ disease when long-term hypothyroidism was the rule and stabilization of euthyroidism failed in the majority of cases. In fact, the term ‘ablation’, meaning removal or destruction, has been increasingly used to characterize radio-iodine therapy and administration of larger amounts of radio-iodine have tended to make this a self-fulfilling prophecy. Although many clinicians prefer that the end result of treatment be the more easily managed hypothyroidism, others are still reluctant to give up the therapeutic ideal of euthyroidism as the preferred result of radio-iodine therapy and continue their efforts to solve the enigma of thyroid radiosensitivity.

Abstract:
Most of the current problems can be solved by referring to the solutions of the previous problems. Case Based reasoning (CBR) is one of the methods that solves a problem by retrieving the similar problems from the past and adapting the solutions of the past problems to solve the new problem. Recent studies that apply CBR include time as a parameter to retrieve most effective solutions that vary with time. This approach is more helpful in healthcare area in which one needs to look at historical evidence to find an accurate diagnostic or treatment regime. Hence, in this study, a time-based CBR is applied to track the outcomes of the drug therapy on hypertensive patients and find the most effective drug as a prescription. Initially, episodes in each patient’s medical records are chronologically ordered such that the oldest episode is placed first in the episode sequence and the latest episode is placed the last. It is assumed that the first episode of each patient is the first instance of diagnose; so when a new patient comes for checkup, his/her state (health condition) is compared with the initial state of the past patients. Therefore, the retrieval process calculates the similarity between the new patient’s current state and the most similar patients at their first episodes in the patient records. Due to the diversity of therapies for matching patients, the best treatment couldn’t be determined without knowing the efficacy of the different treatments. Therefore, the subsequent episodes of matching patients are examined to find the best treatment for the new patient. This might even require using a combination of treatments from all matching patients to find a good treatment for the new patient. After the treatment is defined for the first visit, the record of the new patient is stored in the library for future case retrieval. This method is a novel approach to personalized treatment of patients having chronic disease by tracking the medical records past patients over a long period of time. The current approach for treating the hypertensive patients uses evidence-based guidelines for managing the disease. However, this approach is more general and doesn’t take into account all the patient characteristics such as lab results and physical examination parameters. In the current approach the similarity between patients can’t be leveraged; the change of the treatment regime is based only on the risk parameter. However, in this method several parameters are being checked for efficiency of the medication. In contrast, the proposed CBR-based method personalizes the treatment based on what worked well for similar patients. In this paper, the clinical records of hypertensive patients are provided by a Boston based hospital. The preliminary results confirm that the proposed approach will give good recommendation for hypertension treatment.
