Full textAbstract:
Abstract In 1800, American physician and naturalist Benjamin Smith Barton (1766-1815) published A Memoir Concerning the Disease of Goitre as it Prevails in Different Parts of North-America. The text documented the nature of the disease in the United States and highlighted how it differed from the ailment’s presentation in European patients. While medical topographies were common during this period, Barton’s goiter research and the steady stream of American goiter research that followed are worth special attention. This body of literature demonstrates how American physicians understood their relationship to transnational medical discussions and the unique perspective they brought to them. Goiter literature was common in European medical and travel writing during this period and intensely focused on the appearance of the disease in the mountains of Switzerland and Northern Italy. American goiter by its very appearance in non-mountainous regions of the United States contradicted nearly all of the received wisdom about the ailment’s cause and potential cure. For two decades, American writers leveraged their own observations and local knowledge to challenge larger narratives in their field.

Full textAbstract:
End-of-life care for dying patients has become an issue of importance to physicians as well as patients. The debate centers around whether the option of physician-assisted suicide cuts off, or diminishes the value of, palliative care. This ongoing attention makes the crafting of advance directives from patients detailing their end-of-life choices essential. Equally important is the appointment of a health care surrogate. The surrogate, when the patient is too ill to make decisions, should be empowered to make them in his stead. No American court has found a clinician liable for wrongful death for granting a request to refuse life support. An entirely separate issue is that of legalized physician-assisted suicide. As of this writing, only Oregon has made this legal (see Gonzales v. Oregon). It is likely that this issue will be pursued slowly through the state courts, making advance directives and surrogacy all the more crucial.

Full textAbstract:
This article offers a longitudinal computational-rhetorical analysis of biomedical writing on opioids. Using a corpus of 1,467 articles and essays published in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association between 1959 and May 2019, this study evaluates diachronic shifts in (a) the framing of opioid pharmacology, (b) the relative attention paid to pain management versus opioid dependence risks, and (c) the distribution of statements related to physicians’ primary ethical obligations. The results of these analyses largely disconfirm different current accounts of shifting physician rhetoric around opioids and pain management leading up to the recognition opioid epidemic. Most notably, the results also suggest that biomedical debates surrounding opioids are serving as proxy arguments for shifting primary bioethical obligations from individual patients to public health.

Full textAbstract:
Historians of science have written much about the famous exchange over Darwinism in 1860 at the Oxford meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science between Bishop Samuel Wilberforce and Thomas Henry Huxley. The event is one of the most famous in nineteenth-century science. But little has been written about the paper that served as the occasion of that debate. The paper was one presented by John William Draper, a British-born American scientist and physician. A full transcription of Draper's paper is presented here, with a discussion of Draper's earlier writing and lectures on geology, evolution, and the philosophy of history. Together Draper's writings show his early adoption of key principles of the development hypothesis, his willingness to accept the principle of human evolution, and his claims for what he saw as the evolutionary nature of human society.

Full textAbstract:
Something was menacing the South during the Progressive Era. Southern physicians located the threat in the “germ plasm,” the genes, of the region's inhabitants. Writing in a now-infamous 1893 “open letter” published in the Virginia Medical Monthly, Hunter Holmes McGuire, a Richmond physician and president of the American Medical Association, asked for “some scientific explanation of the sexual perversion in the negro of the present day.” McGuire's correspondent, Chicago physician G. Frank Lydston, replied that African-American men raped white women because of “[h]ereditary influences descending from the uncivilized ancestors of our negroes.” Lydston's solution to this problem was not lynching, but surgical castration which “prevents the criminal from perpetuating his kind.” Eight years later in Alabama, Dr. John E. Purdon opined, “It is a proved fact of experience that the inveterate criminal tends to propagates a race of criminals, and that the undeveloped or degraded nerve-tissue will duplicate itself in the next generation.” Dr. Purdon then declared, “Emasculation is the simplest and most perfect plan that can be adopted to secure the perfection of the race.” Twenty-three years later, in 1924, Harry Hamilton Laughlin testified in support of a Virginia law providing for the eugenic sterilization of the “shiftless, ignorant, and worthless class of anti-social whites of the South,” who allegedly created social problems for “normal” people. The multiplication of these “defective delinquents,” Laughlin and Virginia officials claimed, could only be controlled by restricting their procreation.

Abstract Objective.—To evaluate elevated patient calcium results as a postanalytic quality indicator of physician practices. Design.—Participants prospectively identified hypercalcemic patient results for 4 months or until they found 320 hypercalcemic results, and then, after at least 3 days, reviewed the medical records of these patients. Hypercalcemia was defined as a calcium value that exceeded the upper limit of each laboratory's reference range by 0.12 mmol/L or more. Participants, as well a subset of their physicians who did not acknowledge or respond to elevated results in the medical record, answered a questionnaire about their practices. Participants.—Five hundred twenty-five laboratories enrolled in the College of American Pathologists Q-Probes program. Main Outcome Measures.—The presence of hyercalcemic results in patients' medical records and physicians' acknowledgement and response to those elevated results. Results.—More than 5500 hypercalcemic results were identified, of which 53.2% represented a new finding. About 3.5% of results were not charted in the patients' records, and 23.1% of patient records did not contain clinician documentation of the abnormal result. Follow-up laboratory tests were not ordered for 13.8% of the elevated values. For 570 of the 808 results for which there was neither clinician documentation nor designated follow-up laboratory tests ordered, patients' physicians received written notification of the elevated calcium results along with a questionnaire. Responses were received from 386 physicians (68%). One hundred physicians indicated they did not order the specific calcium measurement, and of these 100, 85 responded it was part of a panel. The 286 physicians who ordered the test stated the results ultimately led to further testing (69%), a change of management (56%), or a new diagnosis (25%). Conclusions.—We found that a high percentage of abnormal results (3.5%) were not documented in the patients' medical records, the diagnosis of hypercalcemia frequently was new (53.2%), and a high percentage of physicians did not respond to elevated calcium results by writing a note (23.1%) or ordering another test (13.8%). Opportunities for quality improvement at these postanalytical steps are far greater than at the analytical step. Laboratorians must help physicians identify and respond to clinically important laboratory results.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Sixth Edition, states that an independent medical evaluation (IME) usually is a “one-time evaluation performed by an independent medical examiner who is not treating the patient or claimant, to answer questions posed by the party requesting the IME.” Evaluators must adhere to best practice standards and must know that these standards may change over time and must meet the needs of the relevant jurisdiction. IMEs take place in several arenas, including automobile casualty, workers’ compensation, personal injury, medical malpractice, and long-term disability and differ from traditional clinical evaluations. The evaluating physician must be independent and has no (or only a limited) physician–patient relationship. The qualifications required of an IME examiner vary by arena, jurisdiction, and issues. Medical evaluators should be board certified and can obtain a special credential from, eg, the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners or the International Association of Independent Medical Evaluators. In addition, evaluators should have demonstrated abilities in report writing and court testimony, and a section of this article provides a general outline of the topics that should be covered in a thorough report. Quality IME reports are the result of thoughtful, thorough evaluations performed by physicians who have knowledge, skills, and experience in both clinical medicine and the assessment of medicolegal issues.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Purpose: A group of Arab-American physicians and researchers in the United States organized a blended online course in academic writing and publishing in medicine targeting medical students and physicians in war-torn Syria. This was an effort to address one of the reasons behind the poor quantity and quality of scientific research papers in Syria and the Arab region. In this paper, we report on the design, conduct, and outcome of this course and attempt to evaluate its effectiveness. Methods: The educational intervention was a 2-month blended online course. We administered a questionnaire to assess satisfaction and self-reported improvement in knowledge, confidence, and skills of academic writing and publishing. Results: The course succeeded in reaching more than 2588 physicians and medical students from the region; 159 of them completed most of the course. Eighty-three percent of the participants felt that they were confident enough to write an academic paper after the course and 95% felt the learning objectives were achieved with an average student satisfaction of 8.4 out of 10. Conclusion: Physicians in Syria and neighboring countries are in need of training to become an active part of the global scientific community and to document and communicate the crisis their countries are going through from a medical perspective. Low-cost online educational initiatives help respond, at least partially, to those needs.

Full textAbstract:
Several of the most influential Latin American writers were interested in the sciences. Moreover, a handful showed an affinity to mathematics since childhood, eventually following careers as physicists, engineers, and mathematicians before turning their attention to the arts. In the end, they became novelists, essayists, and poets, who made significant contributions to their field. There is a large amount of existent traditional literature analysis research on Latin American authors. In the last sixteen years, research has shifted to include a focus on the connection between math and literature. However, this research focuses on interpreting the ideas of the universally acclaimed writer Jorge Luis Borges, studying his scientific thinking through his works, and demonstrating the writings included both basic and advanced math concepts even though he lacked a formal mathematical and scientific formation. Currently, there is a gap in the research that ignores the influential Latin American authors who were also prolific in mathematics. As a math and engineering student, I am interested in studying the work of Latin American writers with academic backgrounds in STEM fields--specifically mathematics. I intend to examine the writings of Ernesto Sabato, Guillermo Martinez, and Nicanor Parra for explicit math terminology and concepts.

Full textAbstract:
Experienced emergency physicians with involvement in teaching and writing about clinical topics may be approached about a case of alleged medical negligence. The physician must decide whether to get involved as a potential expert witness, subjecting oneself to the requirement for diligent and thorough review of the case in all its particulars. If one agrees to do this, one must interact with attorneys, prepare opinions, and likely give testimony in deposition, and possibly at trial if the case is not settled. Accepting the responsibility for judging whether a colleague has fallen short of the standard of care, and harmed a patient through negligence, cannot be taken lightly. Guidelines for ethical conduct by an expert witness in a medical negligence tort have been developed and promulgated by the American College of Emergency Physicians and should guide physicians’ actions.

Full textAbstract:
Physicians who participate in the media may perform an important public health service for their communities. Physicians who understand the media (and their influence) may decide to engage and work with the press to inform society on a variety of issues in medicine. Physicians have access to information and knowledge as well as experience, a perspective and a point of view valuable to the public. They have something to say and something to teach the public because they do it every day in their practice, in their profession, and with their patients. Improving their understanding of reporters’ roles, responsibilities, and professional guidelines, along with an overview of the world of medical journalism, may help reduce physicians’ anxiety and potentially help them relate to journalists and interact with the press. Physicians will want to learn important guidelines from the American Medical Association and other organizations regarding their involvement with the media, whether writing a news article or being interviewed on television. This chapter includes the “what, why, how, when, and where” regarding all of the information and advice physicians need before working with or in traditional media.

Full textAbstract:
James McCune Smith, a leading black abolitionist, physician, and intellectual in nineteenth-century America, believed that classical literature could help Americans abolish slavery. Fluent in Greek and Latin, McCune Smith believed that the ancients offered cautionary tales for Americans. Their writings emphasized the urgency of abolishing slavery in America and establishing a “pure Republic” rather than another slave republic. With inspiration from the classical tradition, the U.S. could create a new “republic of letters” defined by a new vision of freedom and democracy. McCune Smith articulated this vision in the abolitionist press, most notably in Frederick Douglass’s Paper, in which he drew heavily from Anacreon, Terence, Virgil, Demosthenes, and Aristotle. The classical tradition could empower blacks and women as much as senators and statesmen.

Poet, storyteller, and essayist Marilou Awiakta explores the intersection of traditional and modern Appalachian life by blending her Appalachian and Cherokee heritages with the legacy of post–World War II nuclear energy research in her hometown of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Born Marilou Bonham in Knoxville to a family with Scots-Irish and Native American roots reaching back to the 1730s, Awiakta (her middle name) was raised with an awareness of social and environmental responsibility. When Awiakta was nine, her family moved to Oak Ridge, where her father agreed to work for two years in the nuclear facility, known locally as “the secret city.” After graduating from the University of Tennessee in 1958, Awiakta moved to France with her husband, a physician with the US Air Force. While there, she worked as a liaison and translator for the base....

Full textAbstract:
In the following pages, I argue for a new way of looking at the history of medical education. The growth of medical training, I believe, has too long been viewed in almost exclusively national terms. Changes in medical teaching seem to have come only when creative individuals or powerful centers of innovation in a single country—Leyden, Vienna, Edinburgh, Paris, Giessen, Leipzig, or perhaps Baltimore—have discovered new ideas and techniques and radiated them outward to peripheral training centers in less advanced cities and towns. Strong personalities have put their stamp on new methods of imparting medical knowledge. The periodization of historical development is marked by important discontinuities that center on large historical events. The historical focus is understandably on dramatic change, new schemes of conveying learning, the advance of science in medicine, or the travels of foreign physicians to centers of innovation. Students appear in standard accounts, if at all, only as passive and voiceless participants in an impersonal process. History becomes a tale of successive national centers of influence that wax and wane in their importance to medicine. Rarely is it clear why these centers climb suddenly to historical prominence or why they later decline. And almost always, in even the best writing on medical education, a teleological thread is visible in which nineteenth-century and earlier patterns are followed largely to reveal how they helped shape twentieth-century realities. In short, medical education, like medicine itself, is often portrayed as a story of steady and sometimes heroic progress. In this book, I seek further answers to the reasons for change in medical teaching in the social, industrial, political, and educational transformations of Europe and North America that took place between the Enlightenment and World War II. Especially important, I believe, was the differential impact on individual nations of such major shifts in Western thought and society as the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, the rapid bursts of population and explosion of cities in the Industrial Revolution, the expansion of the market for health practitioners due to educational and urban growth, the rise of an entrepreneurial spirit in education, the widespread transformation of secondary and higher education in the nineteenth century, advances in the explanatory power of observational and experimental science, and the differing roles played by nation-states, as well as by the students themselves, in matters of health and education.

This chapter shows Arthur Conan Doyle busy on many different fronts: looking after his tubercular wife Touie; the setting up of a large household in Surrey; adventures as a journalist with the British army in Egypt; always writing. He struck a deal with American actor/playwright William Gillette for a stage version of Sherlock Holmes, which was hugely successful and lucrative. While Touie was confined to a sick room, Doyle fell in love with a much younger woman. When war broke out with the Boer Republics, Doyle championed the uitlanders, the foreigners in the Transvaal. His sense of fair play and his patriotism motivated a desire to enlist; turned down for soldiering, he secured a post as physician with Langman’s Field Hospital.

Chapter 5 traces the historical origins of military metaphors and seeks to understand their cultural roots. Some scholars point to Pasteur’s germ theory and the development of immunology in the late nineteenth century as the beginnings of the linguistic wars against bacteria and disease. Yet, physicians of an earlier era prior to any knowledge of bacteria postulated a human body engaged in life-and-death battles, and the earliest depiction of fever as evidence of a war within the body appears in the work of an Italian friar in 1635. The chapter postulates an earlier cultural origin for these metaphoric battles in ancient theological sources in which disease is understood as retribution for sins and an evil that must be fought with contrition and prayer. The Psychomachia, an allegorical work of the fifth century, relates the mythic battles between good and evil that are later readily evident in Puritan writings of England and early America.

This biographical introduction begins with the formation of Catharine Macaulay’s political ideas from when, as Catharine Sawbridge, she lived at the family estate. It follows her through her mature development as the celebrated female historian, to her death in 1791, as Mrs. Macaulay Graham. It notes the influence on her of writings of John Milton, Algernon Sidney, and John Locke as well as other republican works. It covers her marriage to the physician and midwife George Macaulay, and sets out the circumstances which led to the composition, and influence of, her History of England from the Accession of James I (HEAJ). The content of her histories, political philosophy, ethical and educational views, and criticisms of the philosophers David Hume, Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Edmund Burke are sketched, and it is argued that her enlightenment radicalism was grounded in Christian eudaimonism, resulting in a form of rational altruism, according to which human happiness depends on the cultivation of the self as a moral individual. It deals with her engagement with individuals in North America before and after the American Revolution, in particular her exchanges with, John Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, Benjamin Rush, and George Washington, and also recounts her contacts with influential players in the French Revolution, in particular, Jacques-Pierre Brissot de Warville and Honoré-Gabriel Riqueti count of Mirabeau. The introduction concludes with her influence on Mary Wollstonecraft and an overview of her mature political philosophy as summarized in her response to Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France.

Full textAbstract:
Secrecy about Colossus has bedevilled the history of computing. In the years following the Second World War, the Hungarian-born American logician and mathematician John von Neumann, through writings and charismatic public addresses, made the concept of the electronic digital computer widely known. Von Neumann knew nothing of Colossus, and he told the world that the American ENIAC—first operational at the end of 1945, two years after Colossus—was ‘the first electronic computing machine’. Others familiar with the ENIAC and unaware of Colossus peddled the same message. The myth soon became set in stone, and for the rest of the twentieth century book after book—not to mention magazines and newspaper articles—told readers that the ENIAC was the first electronic computer. In 1971, a leading computer science textbook gave this historical summary: ‘The early story has often been told, starting with Babbage and . . . up to the birth of electronic machines with ENIAC.’ The present chapter revisits the early story, setting Colossus in its proper place. In the original sense of the word, a computer was not a machine at all, but a human being—a mathematical assistant whose task was to calculate by rote, in accordance with a systematic method supplied by an overseer prior to the calculation. The computer, like a filing clerk, might have little detailed knowledge of the end to which his or her work was directed. Many thousands of human computers were employed in business, government, and research establishments, doing some of the sorts of calculating work that nowadays is performed by electronic computers (see photograph 42). The term ‘computing machine’ was used increasingly from the 1920s to refer to small calculating machines which mechanised elements of the human computer’s work. For a complex calculation, several dozen human computers might be required, each equipped with a desktop computing machine. By the 1940s, however, the scale of some calculations required by physicists and engineers had become so great that the work could not easily be done in a reasonable time by even a roomful of human computers with desktop computing machines. The need to develop high-speed large-scale computing machinery was pressing.

It is an unimpeachable fact that the world went through complete mayhem overnight due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The wheel of the economy was completely paralyzed in all countries of the world, global stock markets collapsed and the price of a barrel of American oil fell below zero1, for the first time in history, due to the repercussions of the global closure resulting from the virus. Theworld started to apply restrictive measures to contain the plague, including social distancing, the matter which adversely impacted the general psychological state in the world. In the midst of those events, new cases of coronavirus infection increased among the world, as they exceeded twenty seven million infections and more than nine hundred thousand death toll - as of writing the following paper -2 which caused chaos among the global medical community due to the rapid spread of the epidemic and the lack of providing Medical supplies needed to combat it. Medical teams around the world have yet to come up with a vaccine to prevent this epidemic. It is well noticed from the audiovisual media across the globe and social mediathat there is lack of privacy to the news regarding the infected patients and their medical data, notably, if they are confirmed to be infected. Sometimes, their identity is revealed by their names and photos. In some cases, one would ponder, if it is permissible to reveal the identity of the person who is infected with the virus, including revealing his name, photo and personal data? - The issue of the electronic medical record (EHR) has also raised many questions about the medical privacy of patients with the spread of the new corona pandamic , especially with the spread of the idea of the electronic medical record in most countries and the ability of that record and the data it contains to violate publication and circulation quickly. - The spread of the new Corona epidemic also showed the effectiveness and success of the idea of telemedicine - as we will see in the present paper - which in turn seriously contributed to limiting the spread of the virus, but it also contributed at the same time to the possibility of violating the medical privacy of patients from Through the means of communication between the treating physician and the institution of care and between the person receiving treatment. - We will try to answer all these questions in this paper, with the help of what the comparative legislation has concluded in this regard.
