The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine.

The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C.

The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years. Concurrently, the Eighth District Dental Society of New York State continued its mission of support and encouragement of the improvement of the public health, improvement of the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of its professional members and the public which it serves.

Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H. Squire set the precedence of at least one year of proper scholastic training at the college level for dentists which, in turn, helped set the standard for New York State requirements for the profession and uplifted its status via a thorough knowledge of the pathology of disease in addition to technical skill. Beginning with the 1917-1918 academic year, the course of dental instruction at the University of Buffalo was increased from three to four years.

The Eighth District Dental Society is a professional association whose members consist of dentists from the eight counties of Western New York: Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, Allegany, Cattaraugus, Wyoming and Orleans. The purpose of these professional dental societies was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about dentistry among practitioners as well as to formalize a standard course of study for dental practice and, thereby, to raise dentistry to the level of a legitimate profession comparable to that of medical doctors. The Eighth District Dental Society of the State of New York was founded in 1868 with a membership of forty-two many of whom would go on to contribute to the establishment in 1892 and early success of the University of Buffalo Dental Department, now known as the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. These early UB faculty members were as follows: William C. Barrett, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Oral Pathology and Practice and first Dean of the dental school; Alfred P. Southwick, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Technics and Secretary/Treasurer until his death in 1898; F.E. Howard, M.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry; Herbert A. Birdsall, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Dental Materia Medica and Therapeutics; and George B. Snow, D.D.S., as Clinical Professor of Mechanics Technics. This faculty called to their aid an extensive group of contacts through their professional dental society memberships, experts and teachers from the dental profession throughout Western New York and beyond. There were 46 matriculates the first year and the first (1892) graduating class consisted of the following notable dental professionals including: T. DeForrest Phillips, W.J. Crawford, E.H. Lamport, William C. Smith, and Daniel H. Squire who, later, would serve as a UB professor and as Dental School Dean from 1912 until his death in 1935. William C. Barrett became the first Dean of the University of Buffalo Dental Department (later, renamed the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine) and served from its beginnings in 1892 to 1903. George Burwell Snow was the second Dental Department Dean and served from 1903 to 1912 and Daniel H. Squire was the third Dean (1912-1935). Daniel H.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

PUBLISHED FOR EACH OF THE HOME FOOTBALL GAMES OF HOBART COLLEGE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS Vol. VI, No. 4 November 8, 1941 SAMUEL H. STEWART, '42, Editor Hobart's much-beaten Varsity tangles with the University of Buffalo today in a game which will see the embattled Statesmen desperately attempting to get out of the loss column and salvage something from what now looms as one of the most disastrous seasons in recent years. Last week the Genevans went to New York with fairly good chances of Victory but Old Man Weather ganged up on the Orange and Purple while City College took advantage of the breaks and pushed over a touchdown in the first two minutes of play to win. Both teams were handicapped and it was really not a game. Hobart's aerial weapon was powerless as was the ground attack but Maitland's kicking stood out for the Statesmen. wins and only one loss (that to mighty Amherst) should be enough to convince the most enthusiastic Hobart supporter that the Orange and Purple's six-game winning streak in the series is due to be snapped this year. However, despite the contrasting records of the two participants this 1941 game will attract what is anticipated to be a record crowd and all the color and g lamour of a Hobart-Rochester game will again be very much in evidence. Whatever the outcome of the game Hobart students and alumni will take pride as always if the team plays as Hobart teams of other years have played, regardless of the games behind them. Hobart will be solidly behind "Speed" and the team next Saturday, come what may. BUFFALO WANTS REVENGE The University of Buffalo Bulls come storming into Geneva today yearning to trip the Hobart gridders whom they h a ve not downed since 1935 and who have de feated the Buffalonians nineteen times. while Buffalo has won but ten games with three tied. Buffalo has won two games this season downing Susquehanna and City College of New York while losing to Washington and Jefferson. Drexel, and Alfred, and tieing Lehigh last week. The Bulls will outweigh Hobart seventeen pounds to the man in the backfield but Hobart has a five pound weight advantage on the forward wall. Among the standout performers on the Windy City eleven is a very good end. Grossi, who played against the Statesmen last fall, Art Woelfle. former Michigan Stater who does considerable passing for Buffalo from a backfield post where he is surrounded by Bowers and Mancewicz, both tailbacks. and Trybuszewski. who specializes in line bucking and does a lot of running on reverse plays. Yacobucci is outstanding at tackle. THANKS TO CLIFF ORR Looking at any football game thru a camera lens is poor amusement. Doing so at every Hobart game for six years is real labor. Therefore the Hobart College Athletic Department wishes to utilize these columns to express its appreciation and gratitude to Cliff Orr. Secretary of Public Relations. who since 1936 has taken movies of Hobart games which ha ve proved invaluable aid to the coaching staff a n d the teams. Without compensation and without praise Cliff has produced some of the best movies taken anywhere at college games and he is generally recognized as a pioneer in this fie ld. The athletic department feels deeply indebted to Cliff and trusts that this humble acknowledgment will express some of the thanks which he so richly deserves. ROCHESTER NEXT WEEK Hobart concludes its season next Saturday at Rochester when the Statesmen play their traditional encounter with the strong U. of R. Yellowjackets. Not in a good many years has Rochester been such a top-heavy favorite and there is ample reason for this.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

Chorus: Brothers, today we sing the chorus free, Pledging the health of our University, To U. of B., to U. of B., Our Alma Mater by the inland sea. Before the Saxon march the forest fell The Church, the School, the Shop their story tell; Off the wind-swept beach proud ships securely ride, Her Peace hath blest and Plenty shall abide. Beside Lake Erie, where the daring deep, The Cont'nent's erring child hastes to the leap, And crushing cliffs in youthful, eager quest, From rock to rock leaps to her ocean rest.

On the Avenue between Chippewa and Tupper. The home of the revolving bar, super dooper floor shows, delicious dinners, and bonded bev· erages. This is a good spot to go after the game. Chez Ami dinners at a buck, and a buck and a half, are a good buy. The steaks are as good as you will find any· where. There is always a good band and the floor shows are way above par. The bartenders here know their stuff, and you get what you order at about fifty cents a throw. In spite of the big time bands, flashy floor shows and splendiferous surroundings, there i' never a cover charge. Phil Amigone is the head man ... and Jack Grood is the head man's head man. Jack's cousin, George Givot, the Greek ambassador, makes personal appearances at the Chez Ami every now and again . YE OLDE K IGHT TAVERN. Down in the new Convention Hall sector in The H otel Worth. Bill Gucker is the Keeper of the Tavern, and sees to it that his guests keep on having a good time. There is an atmosphere about this place that everyone likes, and you don't have to be a banker to take a few good whiff . The tariffs are temperate. You and your gal or your pal can have a lot of fun for a couple of bucks. They're still tinkerin' with television, but Sally Good· win, radio and television star, doesn't monkey when she sings with the Knights of Melody. The Knights keep things churnin' in a way that keeps the customers com· in g. HOTEL BUFFALO. A downtown favorite. Now under McCarriagher management ... and going places. Has pepped up a lot since the changeover. The new grill room is worth doing. You'll like the food, the service and the whole et·up. A good spot for a swell lunch at noon. The Buffalo Ballroom is an old time favorite for fraternity and sorority affairs . . . and sev· era! outfits will hold parties there this Fall. PARK LANE. On Gates Circle. I'll meet you at the Park Lane, and you'll meet everyone who is in WHO'S WHO and find out WHO'S WHOSE and all the rest of the WHO WHOOEY. A swell spot to dance on Saturday nights . . . and a number one spot to go anytime. The dance floor in the dining room is actually large enough to dance on . . . which is quite something in this day of dime·ish dance disks. Slibber McSlee says, "It's sure swell for saturable satellites swinging a smattering of salutary saltation." BERNIE BERGMA 'S. On Main at Glenwood right opposite umber 6 Police Station. The next time you're in Number 6, send over to Bernie's for your meals. They're good. Bernie has a nice long bar, a swell cock· tail lounge, and an ultra ultra dining room. There is al o a rathskeller that is the McCoy for fraternity and sorority parties. Ask any BXEer. FORD HOTEL RESTAURANT. On the avenue near Chippewa. This is the place your old man went in his rambunkshush (all bunk and should be shushed) college days, and it's still the number one spot to turn toward after dances and such. You've probably heard the old business about building a better mouse trap. Well! the FHR (no relation to you know who) is man· aged by a guy named Jos. B. Tingley, a real runner of restaurants ... and Tingley's Tamalies* are Tastier ... so beat 1t down there, the next time you want to tuck away some delectable delicacies. The FHR is open twenty·four hours a day . . . and there is a nice cock· tail lounge and bar that is worth looking into. *FOOD-fish, fowl, frappes, and all the lixin's.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

The eastern university man begins the semester of Fall, 1939, with a wardrobe which is better balanced and smarter than any clothing seen on the campus for years. H e shows an overwhelming preference for suits of rough, rugged fabrics, such as imported H arris Tweed or sturdy domestic tweed in herringbone and diagonal weaves 'ext in preference is Covert Cloth, which has climbed to a high peak of popularity this season. As fur model, the single-breasted, easy-fi tting lounge model with 3-button front, is by far the most important style note. Trousers are pleated and are worn narrower and shorter than formerly . The Sport Coat and Slack combination i highly favored for campus wear and sports occasions. Tweed coats are worn with either covert slacks o r gray fl annels. The 4-piece ensemble, as fe::~tured by Kleinhans College Shop, is well liked by the smart university man. The ensemble co nsists of a regular three-piece suit, plus a pair of contrasting slacks. This outfit doe double duty, by providing two separate outfits. An interesting new note ts the growing use of sleevele s sweaters and velvet-cord vests in place of the regular vest. * * TONIGHT The Reversible T opcoat wtll be seen more and more as the season wears on. This topcoat, cravenette-processed gabardine on one side and tweed on the other, is tdeal for wear during Fall's uncertain weather. This coat is seen only in the Balmacaan model. * * * * * Make a date for Dancing to the music of PAUL PENDARVIS ,. T he Camel H air Topcoat holds ttE own as the ranking topcoat for dress-up occasions. The favorite model is single-breasted, with Raglan shoulders, fly -front and stitched cuffs and bottom. and his orchestra in the MAIN DINING ROOM The universtty man devote - practically his entire shirt wardrobe to oxford cloth shirts. He prefers the button-down collar, although tabless-tab coll ars are also seen. W ool ties, in foulard patterns, and knitted ties in bias stripes sum up the neckwear situation, while Argyle plaid socks grace the ankles of all the betterdressed men. H ats are on the "must" list agatn, with a noticeable liking for the models which have wider brims and lower crowns. Modified Tyrolean hats, in rough finishe , arc smartly worn with tweed suit . Shoes usually have rubber soles, with the choice divided between crepe rubber and red rubber. Sturdy brogues of grain leather are the first choice.

Each fraternity will get tickets which its members will have to show to be ad· mitted to the section. The Interfraternity Council is providing a band and cheerleaders for the game. Before the game the band will play the Star Spangled Banner while the flag is raised. Between the halves the band will do various formations on the field. and FRIENDS are welcome at Bob Parke's commeut: The fraternities arc to be complimented for uniting their efforts in this enterprise and if the previous indications of the virility of united f ra· ternity action are significant you should be sue· cessful in promoting an affair that will arou ce widespread interest among students and faculty. DORTOD HALL EAFETERIA Dr. Pegrum's commcut: (Chairmau of Policy Committee) I am sure that I am expressing the opinion of this committee when I say that we are very pleased to see this encouraging sign of student spirit on the campus. The Fraternities can do more than any other group of organizations on the campus to foster the right spirit. I hope "Fraternity Day" will be marked with success. 1939 o. 1 2 5 6 7 8 10 11 13 14 14 15 lfi 17 18 19 19 20 22 23 25 26 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 35 35 36 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 45 46 47 48 ·18 ~ONNE~TI~UT a me DeStefano, John Collins, Edward Basile, Daniel Tracy, William Hawley, John Zelechosky, Henry Donnelly, J.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

Coach Febel �THEY HOLD THE RECORD In football the record breakers know no season. They run, they pass, they punt, they drop kick and make field goals today much as they did yesterday. Curiously enough, unlike many other sports, football records are fairly evenly distributed over the years. There is just about the same possibility for another record performance this fall as there was when the sport began. Perhaps the greatest thrill in football is a twisting, spectacular run for touchdown. The first Intercollegiate Football Association was created in 1876, yet it was only eight years later that the record all-time run was made. Wyllis Terry playing for Yale against Wesleyan College in 1884 took the ball behind his own goal line and ran for a touchdown. That run of 115 yards constitutes the longest run on record. It was made when the field was 110 yards in length and therefore could not be duplicated today. While the longest run was made at the beginning of the game, the longest recorded punt, on the other hand, was made in the past few years. Ray Kercheval, who starred on University of Kentucky teams and then turned professional, punted 91 yards without aid of wind in a punting exhibition in Chicago in 1935. The year before, Dick Crayne, Iowa fullback, punted 102 yards with the wind at his back in a game against Indiana, but this distance included a long roll after the hall had struck the turf. The record field goal from placement and the record drop kick, oddly enough, were both made in the year 1915. At that time, Haxall of Princeton in a contest against Yale, place-kicked the ball 65 yards. If you don't think that an outstanding feat, make a mental image of the distance from one 35-yard marker to the opposite goal line. During the same year, just two years before the United States' entrance into the World War, Payne of Dakota Wesleyan drop-kicked 63 yards for a score. Despite the lack of emphasis today on scores by kicking, the last decade has had its share of great kickers. In 1933 two 50-yard drop kicks were registered by Eubank of Washington State and Cahill of Nevada. In 1923, Pence of Coe drop-kicked 59 yards in a game against Drake. When it comes to forward passing the record book has always awarded the palm to the throw made by "Brick" Muller of the University of California in the 1920 Rose Bowl game. Muller in that instance threw 70 yards to Brodie Stephens in a game against Ohio State. Recently the claim has been put forward that the longest completed pas~ was made in 1906. In that year Bradbury Robinson, playing for St. Louis University, was supposed to have made an 87-yard pass that was caught by his team mate, John Schneider. And so it goes. The chances are that at least one or more of these records will be closely approached or perhaps exceeded before the decade is out. �"WHAT DOI:S ALL THEM KISSES MI:AN'' �..t.. .,..... <;~: AMERICA'S LARGEST SELLING GASOLINE A Good Sign To Stop At As another Friendly Service from Socony Dealers of Buffalo and Western New York, Jim Britt, your Socony Sports Reporter, comes to you every week night at 6:30 P.M., over WBEN and again at 11:17 P.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

Published for each of the home football games of Hobart College by the Department of Public Relations and distributed free to spectators Vol. II, No.4 The Hobart College football team plays today its fourth home game. The clash with the Bulls of the University of Buffalo marks the final game of the Statesmen's 1937 season. The year 1894 marks the first season of football at Buffalo and, incidentally, dates the beginning of its rivalry with Hobart. During the ensuing period, twenty-eight games have been played, with Hobart's victories numbering fifteen against ten for Buffalo. Three games have resulted in tie scores. For Buffalo the Hobart game is always the most important contest of the season. In 1936 the Bulls were severely trounced by a 52- 2 victory for Hobart. Incensed by this stinging defeat and backed by an entirely new and original plan of attack, Buffalo is considered to be a real threat to Hobart's season record. BUFFALO'S NEW DEAL Until1934 the University of Buffalo's victories consisted of a series of uvs and downs. But with the advent of George Van Bibber a new and effective regime transposed the Bulls into a definitely progressive team. This New Deal increased Buffalo's prestige and paved the way for her future. At the end of a successful 1935 season Van Bibber resigned to his aid and assistant, Jim Peelle. Peelle followed the doctrines of his predecessor with extremely favorable results. Last year the Bulls were hailed as the best team since the War as they won their first four games by large scores and wound up the season with five wins and three losses. It is under the skillful and experienced guidance of Jim Peelle that Buffalo faces Hobart today. TACTICS OF PEELLE SUCCESSFUL In this, his second year, Peelle has retained the variation of his Purdue system employing double win<sbacks, but has introduced a new box backfield formation which eliminates the qu~rterback November 6, 1937 post. So far the Bulls have won four games, Allegheny, Rochester, Kent State, Defiance, and lost to Alfred. They have scored two touchdowns in each game. A veteran outfit with only one sophomore in the starting line-up, the Bulls are much stronger on paper this year than in 1936, but they have failed to display consistently their great power in the games to date. Vito Grieco, All Western New York center in 1936, Han Searl, triple-threat halfback from East Aurora, Hank Intrator, a good blocking fullback, and Clyde Nagle, a mere 230 pounder at right tackle, are the outstanding veterans on the Blue and White squad. Harry Jenkins, sophomore end, was formerly an All-High tackle at Lafayette high school. Following a procedure established last year, Coach Peelle has selected a ggme captain for each contest. Despite the outcome of the remaining games on the schedule, the 1937 season will be considered another successful season under the mentorship of Jim Peelle. Where barely enough for two teams reported for practice a few years ago, this year's squad numbers over thirty-five. With this increased interest in football at the University of Buffalo, it appears that the Blue and White is slated for a period of football "prosperity". STATESMEN COMPLETE SEASON At the River campus last week Hobart completed the sixth of a seven game !Ochedule by defeating the University of Rochester and making the record thus far four wins and two losses. Today's game will close another successful season under the capable direction of Coach "Speed" Wilson. The Statesmen have thus far rung up a total of 58 points against their opponents' 37. Although not up to the record of last year's outstanding team, this year's aggregation has made a splendid showing and deserves all of the credit and honor and glory which can be given them. �WE'RE PULLING for the HOBART ELEVEN J.

THE STEWART STUDIO DISTINCTIVE PORTRAITS ARTISTIC PICTURE FRAMING KODAKS AND SUPPLIES 41 SENECA STREET * PHONE 2 I 83 �11 LITTLE BROWN JUG, HOW I LOVE THEEI.f II ere it is, folks-the lowdown on four of the most famous football trophies in the land. They are the axe, the old oaken bucket, the li! Lie brown jug, and Illibuck. Each ) ear, when traditional rivals clash, these trophies are at stake-and here's the story of how it all started. Let's take first the little brown jug-perhaps the most famed of all trophies, the one that Minnesota and Michigan haLLie their hearts out for. The jug, in realit~, was a grey, five-gallon affair. It was found by Oscar 1unson, janitor in the Minnesota University Armor~, after the Michigan foothallcrs left from their game with 1innesota. o Oscar took the jug to the athletic department "hich in crihed on its surface: "\1ichiganJ ug,capturcd by Oscar, Oct. 31, 1903, not to be taken from the gymnasium, score \Iinnesota 6; ~fichigan 6." The trophy was suspended from a hook above the athletic director's desk, where it remained for six years. In 1909 it was suggested the jug he used as a permanent prize. Some years later, the jug was repainted ),rown, scores of previous games 11 ere in cribed upon it, and now the container each ~car is placed on the field on the 50-yard line and goes to the winning team. The ston· of Illibuck-a model of a turtle put at stake each ) ear in the Ohio State-Illinois game--is one of tragedy. Illibuck was a real, live turtle, measuring 20 inches aero s his shell, who turned up about the time of the 1925 game. Where he came from no one knew, but when the game wa over Illibuck went to Illinois. llut during the winter he died. Campus historians claim hi passing was due to varied cau c · from eating cockroaches to drowning in a tub of bathtub gin. In 1926, a wooden replica of Illihuck 11 as made and it has served the universities ever since. The story behind the axe-- played for annually b) Stanford and California- is a talc of blood and thunder. It started out as a baseball trophy. Having lost the first game of the series in 1899, Stanford, feeling the need for something to holster their spirit, procured a large axe to give reality to their ) ell "Give 'em the Axe," which they had originated in 1896. The Stanfords brought the axe to the second game and paraded it to the bleachers behind first base. There, whenever they celebrated a California miscue or a ucccs ful tanfonl play, they used the axe to chop off bits of blue and gold ribbon . California's colors. Alter the game, which California won, the Californians chased the Stanfords through the streets and finally stole the axe. Once captured, a California man chopped off the handle to make the axe less con picuous and spirited it across San Francisco Bay to Berkeley under his eoal. Stanford men made several atLcmpts to captun· the axe from the campus in later )Cars but failed. California kept the axe in a vault. In April, 1930. California failed to guard the trophy properly when it was taken out for the annual ''axe rail v" and some Stanford men invaded Berkeley and stoic it. As soon as it was taken, a tear gas bomb was c:~.ploded, and flash bulbs were set off to confuse pursuers. Although the entire California student body tried all night to recover the axe they were t:nsuccessful and it remained in a Palo Alto hank vault until, by agreement of the schools, it was put up as a football trophy in 1934. The Old Oaken Bucket, played for by Indiana and Purdue, had a peaceful beginning. In 1925, in Chicago, alumni of those schools agreed they should have a trophy, so they went to rural southern Indiana and snagged the bucket from an old farm well. The only untoward incident in the history of the bucket came in 1930 when Indiana won an upset 7-6 victoq. When Indiana went to claim the bucket it was not around. An old fire wagon and a hell, which Purdue used to cart the bucket to the field, was found later in a ditch. The bucket turned up in Indianapolis. It was suppo ed to have been shipped to Indiana, but it never arrived. Finally, after a great deal of excitement, Indiana got the bucket-how, no one knows. couple of other odd trophies are the old Beer Keg which Kentucky and Tennessee play for, and Floyd of Rosedale, a bronze model of a pig contested for between Iowa and Minnesota. Floyd got his start several years ago when the Governor of Minnesota and the Governor of Iowa wagered a live pig on the outcome. The Iowa chief executive lost and he purchased Flo~ d, a prize pig, and shipped it to Minnesota. The winner had the pig cast in bronze and then turned the live model over to the University authorities for use in research work. �I~ Firestone Auto Supply and Service Stores ; I . .

But my voice teacher said I needn't if I'd select a light smoke- Luckies. "I soon found that even when singing and acting 12 hours a day, I can smoke as many Luckies as I like without the slightest throat irritation." The reason Luckies are easy on 1iss Lombard's throat is because the "Toasting'' process takes out certain throat irritants found in all tobacco-even the finest. And Luckies do use the finest tobacco.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

By Coach John Galloway In the past few years, the defensive tactics in football seem to have progressed to a greater extent than offensive play. With this condition in mind the Rules Committee has endeavored to make changes that would be advantageous to the offensive team. Realizing that the ordinary football fan has been somewhat mystified when conrr·onted with yearly cha nges in the rules, the committee has made but one major change. It is generally known that the oflicial ball is smaller than that used in former years, although it is the same weight. The "new" ball should be a great aid to the passing game. Heretofore, only men with large hands were able to grip the ball. Now, the men with 5mall hands are able to pass quite accurately. The kicking game does not seem to be affected. The one major change in the rules has to do with the passing game. In former years, if a forward pass became incomplete in the defending team's end zone it v.as ruled a "touchback" and the ball was given to the defending team on their 20 yard line. Under the present rule one incomplete pass may be made in the end zone in a series of downs, the only penalty being loss of a down. Another change that will help the offensive play has to do with the passing game. The new rules allow a team to throw as many incomplete passes as they wish without a penalty other than the loss of a down. It is still early to pass a fair judgment on the new rules, but from our own experience in practice, the game is bound to be ntore open and spectacular, furnishing e.ven more amusement for the spectators. �CHARTER A BUS It's The Smart Way To Travel A Bus Is No Better Than Its Driver Onr rlrin•r<, arr <·at·t>fullY trainr<l in thr ltandlin~ of our bus-:rs. conrtrons a;Hl rffit·i pnt in PYPt'Y mannrr.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

("BIFFY") LEE The season of 1930 was the second ruled over by the regime of Head Coach "Biffy'' Lee. The call for candidates was issued late in March for spring training and how different was the response from those of former years. Instead of a measly twenty or so, seventy-seven men reported to Biff and his staff of assistants. It was the largest group of candidates ever to report to a University of Buffalo coach. Xo doubt the success and spirit of that e,·er popular team of 1929 inspired many men to report for spring training. A second outstanding feat also characterized our period of spring training. That was the introduction of the largest active coaching staff in the country. Biff Lee was aided by eight able assistants who each trained the men along a special line. 0\·er a two year period, 29-30 they won 8 and lost 7, including such schedules as Carnegie Tech and Fordham and finished better than 500 per cent. �Clarence R.

FORWARD PASS �ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Carnegie Institute of Technology SCHENLEY PARK, PIITSBURGH ~ HE conclusion of the first week of training for Carneigie Tech's ,-arsity football \....) squad finds the 40 boys from whom the new Tartan team will be selected, far advanced in physical condition, but with the coaches no nearer the solution of several of their problems than they were before practice started. Departing radically from the accustomed procedure of college coaches, Judge \Valter P. Steffen ordered a scrimmage last ~Ionday, about half an hour after the fall drills were formally opened. He continued this schedule daily during the first week, was fortunate enough to miss any major injuries, and the start of the second week finds a well-conditioned squad, ready for the serious business of de,·eloping an attack and a defense for the hardest schedule any Carnegie team ever undertook. In Carnegie's biggest victories of recent years, passing and kicking has played a most important part. In Howard Harpster, the Skibos had one of the greate t of modern passers, and a kicker with few peer s. He wa succeeded by Harry ~IcCurdy, who was also a clever passer and punter. ~ow ~IcCurdy has been declared ineligible for a year because of poor class room work, and Ray Tesser, a big lad from Titusville, Pa., who starred for last year's Plebes, a nd showed exceptional promise as a passer and kicked, will not be available because of illness . The squad as constituted at present boasts no passer and only the most mediocre punters. There are frantic efforts to develop both, for they will be needed with Eyth and Karcis, the bulwarks of Carnegie's powerful running game last year, graduated. Captain Armentrout, who alternated with Eyth last year at left halfback, may be able to carry the ball with some degree of success, but he is not nearly as fast as the little fellow who ran through the Entire X otre Dame team last year for a 70-yard touchdown. Armentrout's chief qualifications for backfield service are his powerful dri\·e and his bould, for he carries 190 pounds on a six foot frame. It is probable that Armentrout will eventually have to do the kicking, although he is far from being a Harpster or a ~IcCurdy. Steffen is making constant shifts in an effort to find some additional backfield strength. He has even mo\·cd "Hooks' Sample, varsity guard last year, to fullback, and Lib Lewis, sophomore end, to halfback for trials in scrimmage. Lewis is one of the fastest men on the squad, but has never played in the backfield. Sample is rugged and fairly shifty, but before becoming a guard, he was an end. Only one position is absolutely set, that being right halfback, where George Kavel, sophomore star last year, is still holding forth-and there is a chance that Kavel may be turned into a fullback, despite his lack of heft. At any rate, there will be a host of new faces in the Tartan lineup for the opening with University of Buffalo at Buffalo on September 26. There will be two new ends, possibly two new tackles, at least one new guard, and two or three strangers in the backfield. Carnegie Tech, almost completely rebuilding her football team after the loss of eight 1930 regulars, will present her lightest eleven in years. Few of the squad members are 200-pounders, with the average Tartan gridder weighing 170 pounds and �standing 5 feet 10 inches in height. with three being 18 and one 17. ~lost of the players are under 20 years of age, Judge 'Valter P. Steffen, head football coach at Carnegie Tech, is serdng his eighteenth consecuti,·e season in his present capacity. He is dean of all eastern football coaches, and only a handful of mentors in the entire country have been as long at one institution as the Chicago jurist. Facing Purdue, "X otre Dame and Pittsburgh on successive Saturdays, to say nothing of continuing with the tough Temple University aggregation on the fourth, Carnegie Tech has a mid-season football card as exacting as any in the country. In fact, only one of Carnegie's games, the opener on September 26, is with a so-called minor team-Buffalo Gniwrsity. w·. & J., Georgia Tech and "Xew York University are the other opponents.

(Bill) Pritchard Took over the responsibility of maintaining University of Buffalo's football progress during the 1931 season. Bill began his new work early in 1931 and has continuously devoted a great portion of his time to it. The results of the intensive training he and his assistant, Stanley Drumsta, gave the boys during the Spring were evident immediately after Fall practice opened. Earle Ridall, the 1930 Captain, joined Pritchard and Drumsta as assistant line coach at the opening of Fall practice and these three built the team which made such a man-elous showing against Carnegie Tech and beat Alfred. The work of this staff of coaches has resulted in the best football technique which a University of Buffalo team has shown in recent years. They are good teachers, Bill is a fine leader, and the class of football is rapidly improYing. Congratulations to Coach Pritchard and his able assistants.

THE CITY ICE & FUEL COMPANY Cleveland 4530 �PASS TO )IALAXO\VICZ FOR A TOUCHDOWX Buffalo 6; H amilton 0 Our first at home conference game was played against a heavy team representing Hamilton College. It was a well played and interesting game from beginning to end. The task of winning seemed hopeles of Lee's charges inasmuch as nine regulars were forced to watch the game from the bench, due to injuries previously received. The entire game was played with but three substitutes. Because of these facts we can well be proud of the 6-0 victory our boys brought to us. Buffalo produced all the scoring of the game late in the first quarter. It was \\'ard's ten-yard pass laid perfectly down the center alley that gave U. B. its touchdown. Eddie :Malanowicz made a beautiful catch just over the goal line. Just prior to this 'Ward had broken through to block a Hamilton kick which Cleland recovered. ~lost of the first quarter was taken up by punting, both teams seeming satisfied to be on the defense. The second quarter of the game ended a punting duel between Eddie :Malanowicz and Kingsley when Hamilton took thinks into her own hands. Kingsley and Rienzo, two Hamilton backs, just ripped our line to shreds. Behind fine interference these two boys made a march of 67 yards. \Vith the ball on the three-yard line and three downs to make it in, Hamilton seemed sure of a touchdown. At this point, however, Coach Lee substituted Jardine for a tired and battered left tackle. This is where Hamilton made its mistake. Three times they called plays through .Jardine but each time he stopped them before they started. It was a fine piece of defensi,·e work by Jardine which saved Buffalo from being six points behind. The second half found a renewed fighting spirit in the Buffalo team. Led by Captain Hidall our boys battered away at the Hamilton line, which did not "eem to gi,·e way to the extent of being scored upon. Fine blocking by the backs and the defen<,i\·e work of Captain Hidall and Chet \\'anl were the features of the game. IRV ALTMAX JOE )fAXCJI �The Football Organization at Notre Dame University -(""'\ OTRE DAl\IE is a boys' school with approximately 3,000 students. It is a ~ boarding school situated some two miles from downtown South Bend, Indiana. Approximately 2400 of the boys live in dormitories on the campus, the remaining 600 lidng around South Bend. \Vith new dormitories being erected it is possible that e,·entually every student will lh·e on the campus. At X otre Dame the dormitories are known as "Halls" and the intramural athletic system is known as the "Inter-Hall" system. There are approximately 800 boys actively engaged in playing football at X otre Dame. Of these about 320 try for the Varsity and the balance play on Inter-Hall and class teams. Inasmuch as all these teams are coached by men who have had Varsity experience the one style of football prevails on all X otre Dame teams whether Intercollegiate or Inter-Hall. It was the practice of Knute Rockne to pick his 40 best men and designate them as the "A" team or the "Traveling" team. This is equivalent to what is known as the "Varsity" at most colleges. Having a wealth of material besides these ~0 best men it was his plan to organize additional groups of 40 men, these men being the younger and most promising material whom he wished to develop for future usc on the Traveling team. These were known as the "B" teams. In many instances these men were taken from the regular freshmen squad of the pre,·ious year and then were brought along through this "B" team development during their sophomore and sometimes junior years. Many future stars were brought along in this way. A great many of X otre Dame's outstanding football players never made the Varsity until their Senior years. Very few people ever heard of Jack Cannon, All-American guard in 19:29 until that same year which, was Cannon's Senior year. A few exceptions such as Frank Carideo made the team in their sophomore years and played on the Varsity throughout their three years of eligibility . .Because of this system, which is being continued since Rockne's death, the football enthusiasts who witness a "B" team in action really see X otre Dame's :::nost promising future material in action during their years of development. These 'B" teams are the equivalent, if not the superior of a great many college teams and arc usually but a step or two behind major college and university teams in ability and de,·elopment. I might give two illustrations from my personal experience in days gone by before this elaborate system of Rockne's was fully de,·eloped. Back in 1911 we did not have sufficient material trying for the Varsity to enable the Coach to develop a "B" team. However, the Inter-Hall system was in full use at that time. As a member cf the Varsity squad I was delegated to coach the Brownson Hall team, training them in the exact X otre Dame style of play of that day. \Vhile my team did not win thP championship of the Inter-Hall league in 1911 there were two ends, two tackles and a fullback who later made the Varsity. One of these, :Mel Elward, is head coach at Purdue at present. Another instance took place in 1917 at which time I was coaching a small colleg-e in Iowa. On the :Monday preceding Thanksgiving Day our opponent from ::\Iissouri who was to play us on Thanksgi,·ing Day cancelled the game. In order to have an opponent for this biggest day of the football season I got the president of X otre DamP on the telephone and he agreed to send me the champion Inter-Hall team of that sea· son, this championship having been decided by a 13 to 7 score just prc\"ious to my telephone call. \Ve had a pretty good small college team at our school but these Inter-Hall champions from X otre Dame came out to Iowa and beat us 27 to 0. On that Inter-Hall team were Cy Kasper who subsequently coached Alfred University for a period oi three years, Chet \Vynne who became one of X otre Dame's great fullbacks and who now is Head Coach at Auburn, Alabama, and in addition a boy named O'Hara who later played halfback on the Varsity. At the time this team beat us 27 to 0 these boy3 were not considered as ready for Varsity competition but later became sta rs \Vhat is known as the "B" team at X otre Dame stands in ability and development between the best in Inter-Hall and the 40 men known as the Varsity so it is evident that they know their football thoroughly and play it skillfully.

We anticipate having a fairly strong team, although not as strong as that of last year in that there were no less than six men on last year's squad who were presented with gold footballs to conform to the regulation that men who have won R's for three successive seasons in any major sport shall be awarded the gold emblem of that sport. There are left eleven letter men and approximately ten men from the reserves. Last year's freshmen team was one of the best that we have had, but White, the captain, an outstanding player was "busted" in June, while two other very good players were also told that they must pursue their education elsewhere. \.IJ Tom Davies is starting his sixth season as head coach.

He has been brought on to join our department of Physical Education and to coach the varsity basketball team and the freshmen baseball team. Roman Speegle, who has coached the freshmen for several years will again handle the first year men. Bernard Smith of Madison, Wisconsin, who was selected as an all-Conference back by the Conference coaches last fall will captain the team. He is probably the bes,l; half-back that has worn a Rochester uniform in recent years. �Rockne's Famous Scoring P "S Are Revealed Sol Metze Discloses The Mysterious Methods of Hanley, Jones and other Wizards ''TOUCHDOWN SECRETS'' Appear Daily in the BUFFALO EVENING NEWS In sparkling stories and r,raphic diagrams, Sol Mettger shows how the Notre Dame wi.tard outwitted his opponents.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

In the first game of the year \Yilliams defeated Rochester i;1 a hard fought contest by a score of 6-0. The 1\.oche~ter outfit showed up well in that game. wi•h \lc\:erney . Kappelman, Drojarski. and Gri:e playing stellar roles. On October 1st .\!ired came to Rochester to engage the home boys in a game played in a sea of mud. The Yellowjackets played the "breaks" and as a result finished on the long end oi an 8-6 score. ::.rcXerney was responsible for Rochester 's first tally. grabbing the ball from the hands of Boylan .. \!fred halfback. and running twenty yard" for a touchdown . .\!fred scored when Rochester receiwd a twenty yard penalty and fumbled in an attempt to kick from behind its own goal line. The winning tally for the Yellowjackets was sc01·ed in the final quarter when Hanson of Alfred let the ball slip hom his fing-ers for a safety when he tried to kick from in back of his goal line. A fumble and a blocked kick were all the "breaks" necessary to giw Hamilton a 1-J.-7 Yictory OYer the Yellowjackets at Clinton on Oct. 8. .\n unbeatable passing attack was opened up by the Daviesmen and did not cease until Rochester had scored the first touchdown of the game. Hamilton returned in the thi1·d period to even up the score with a well-earned seven points. The second touchdown for the Buff and Blue came in the fi.nal period when the Yarsity, losing ground on an exchange of punts. was forced to kick from near its own goal line. The kick was blocked. and Dreher, Hamilton end. fell on the ball for a touchdown. Last Saturday saw the Yellowjackets tra,·el to Oberlin and defeat the Yeomen to the tune of 2-0. The small score cannot indicate the fie1·ceness of the struggle which appeared up to the la~t few minutes as a scoreless tie. In the last quarter, however, the Yellow jackets forced the Oberlin men back to their uwn goal line where Ticknor. Rochester's scrappy center, foiled an attempted kick by tackling Sams of Oberlin, thereby scoring the safety which was sufficient to carry with it a Yictory . I ,.. CO-CAPTAIN McNERNEY CO-CAPTAIN KAPPELMAN 9 �ROCHESTER RIVER CAMPUS-1932 CROSS COUNTRY .Frequently I have been asked. ''\\'hy does any man run Cross Country?" :.Ien participate in eros~ country for the same reason that many young men in football play in the line rather than in the backfield, simply because they are more fitted for this style of play or activity. Until the last few years cross country running- has been much more popular in Europe than in .\merica. .'\ few years ag-o we began to use the longer distance runs and walks, sometimes calling- them ''Go as you please jaunts." as health giving exercises. There is no doubt that they served this purpose well and did build up real stamina and g-ood health in our young men. The old time prize fighters used to run five and ten miles as a part of their training. Since the introduction of shorter fights distance running has been ,.,omewhat reduced: nevertheless most of the ~tamina in our present day champions has heen g-ained by running. COACH GORTON The revival of the Olympic Games and our poor showing in distance running in these contests is tl1e direct cause of •\merica's becoming more and more cross country minded. ~o doubt this new trend in training has improved our runner,., greatly in the la t few years. It is claimed that present day coaches are training men simply to win. Very often this ig true. However, under no circumstances should we forget that the ultima~e goal of sport is health. There are many men running and playing- games at Rochester who \\'ill never represent the University on a team. These men will not win glory but they will win the goal of health. "Don't you think cross country running is too hard on a man?" is not an in i requent question. It is too hard on a man if he is not trained for it. but if he is in good condition it can do him no harm. This past summer I saw a young man from Poland run a si .· n1ile race faster than anv man had ever run that distance before. . \ fter the race the runner stood on one foot, replaceci his track shoe with a sandal. and then rcmm·ed his other shoe in the same manne:·. He then walked off the track as fresh as a man finishing a hundred yard dash . •\!though some men who participate in cross country running are not strong enoug-h to stand the train which results from their poor physical condition. 1 am confident that ior e\·erY young man whose health is impaired by athletic endeavor a thousand others are benefited.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

The sports writers called these players the Iron Men, and the gridiron world rang with applause as they weathered their various tests without defeat. Few such cases are recorded in football history, however. As a general rule, a va1· ity A team is only as strong as its substitutes, and this has become more and more true in recent years. The Iron Men had rare good fortune in being able to survive their hard games without injury, and the rarity of such cases magnifies the charm and the courage and the ability which has come to be synonymous with the mere mention of their famou. nickname. In recent years the growing tendencies of modern football have brought the ubstitute more and more into demand. The open game with its demand for speed and the general concentration on an attacking game have made it necessary for coaches to have fresh players to maintain high pressure. The greater emphasis on blocking especially tires linemen more than did the game before the war, and the massing of power at the particular hole to be hit subjects the defending line and the men backing up the holes to a more exhausting fire than once was the case. Added to these facts is the gre:tter importance that will be placed on substitutes this year because of the rules changes. If we are so fortunate as to develop reserves, we will do the very same thing that every other team with good substitutes will do. We know that we will have to meet speed with speed, that we will have to match the insertion of four or five or even a whole team of fresh players in the closing minutes of a period. ' Yhen a coach throws in new and fresh players whose ability measures close enough to .\ team standard to have them rated good reserves, the opposing team can no more hope to meet this attack with wearied players EDWARD L. cASEY than an army general could hope to retain his position with tired troops against waves of fresh and enthusiastic troop;:. In more ways than one then, reserves are to play an important part in this coming football campaign, a more important part than ever before, and undoubtedly there are other coaching staffs wondering, too, how they will meet the problem. Certainly we consider it a problem at Cambridge though we are most hopeful that we will be able to solve it. Followers of Harvard football may remember the role that our reserves played early in the season a year ago. We were successful in coming back in the second period of the Army game and wiped away a 13-point lead which the Cadets had rolled up. We led 14-13 at the half, and through the fading minutes of that econd half when Army was pressing, it was our reserves who saved the day. Taking stock the next night at the coaches meeting, we found that the varsity would have to face Texas the next week, and we believed then that Texas would be one of our hardest games, without the center, two guards and an end who had started against .\rmy. Esterly, Ilallowell, ~Iyerson , and :\Ioushegian were definitely out of the game. The coaches however, felt that with Ginman, Bancroft, Talbot, and Rogers we had adequate guard replacements, that Cunningham would do the job at center. Eddie Bradfordguaranteedthat Xazro, Record, and Francisco would take care of the end job. They did, and we presented a strong rush line. " -hen the Ila rvard team started this season on September 1:3, we had little worry, ban·ing injuries, about the eleven players who that afternoon were selected to run signals as an .\ team. \Ye were, however, quite doubtful of our reserves, and we must continue so through the Penn State game. We have certain key men on that .\ team the loss of whom would be disastrous, but there is no need borrowing trouble, and we look for them to be fit for every game. It seems needless to trace our A strength, but for the purposes of this article it should be listed. Capt. Carl Hageman and Tom ~ azro are seasoned ends, who played excellently a year ago. Irad Hardy at left tack.Je is an outstanding player, and Mal Bancroft at right tackle has been a varsity substitute for two years. Jim Esterly, at left guard, started the Army game a year ago and did not play again until the Yale game, a pity too, because he is one of the best guards a team could have. Eddy Rogers, at right guard, came fast as a substitute last year, while Roger Hallowell i an intelligent center, and was one of the most improved players on the squad last fall. The backfield for the Buffalo game will have Danny Wells, substitute to Barry Wood a year ago, calling signals, with Jack Crickard at left halfback, Charles 1\evin or Francis Glea on at right half, and John Dean at fullback.~evin, Gleason, and Dean were letter men and valuable reserve backs last fall. Dismissing them, we consider the B team. Judging from the attitude and the progress these players made during the first two weeks of practice, they will be playing most creditably in mid seac;on. Gerry Cassedy and George Bartol at the end'>, Leon Francisco, Gridley Barrows, and l\Iorrie Koplow at the tackles, Frank Crane and IIerman Gundlach at the guard<>, and Frank Ca<;ale at center will have a most important role to play this season. They represent at the present time our leading line reserves. 'Van·en Casey, ranking substitute for Hallo well, has been lo t for the early games, and we would feel much better if he were available because he showed excellent progress a year ago, and we had counted heavily on him. Stanton ' Yhitney and Deeb Peter, quarterbacks, Dick Water , full back, and Carl Pescosolido, Jack Grady, and Fergy Locke, left halfbacks, represent (Co ntinued on pa,qe 21) �HARVARD A. .\ . 4 ~EWS •• .. • O .

The others may have two men for every position, but Buffalo has one man for every two positions, for the Bisons, who open Harvard's 1932 varsity football schedule, have been forced to ver atility in adversity. Each member of the squad must know ho\Y to play two positions, his own and the one he may be called upon to fill if a teammate is injured. At one time Buffalo was able to hold its o"·n with the leading college football teams in the country. That was before the "'orld " 'ar. Yet, on the resumption of peace, the Bisons found that the football wars \Yere too much. The blue and white of Buffalo went into a slump from which it has been unable to emerge with any degree of consistency. For a decade it went along that way, every year becoming worse than its predecessor, the only question being the size of the score. X aturally, interest and enthu iasm were low. Where Buffalo was turning out high grade ba ketball and baseball teams, the big problem was to have enough players for a football team and a few substitutes. Buffalo still has not recovered. It manpower in football still is below normal. It is now a question of having two teams, so that enough reserves are on hand. That matter of reserves has not been met by the student body as yet, Hence every player must know two positions, for a guard sitting on the bench may be called upon to play center, and if he can play three positions he is all the more valuable. Enthusiasm, however, has increased in this university, which is similar to Boston Univer ity in that the buildings are scattered all over the city and the streets are the campus. The rise of interest may be traced to Jay L. Lee, former teammate and roommate of Knute Rockne at Xotre Dame. Lee did not enjoy such succes in the matter of wins and losses as did the late Rockne at K otre Dame, yet he HowARD SPENCER accomplished much in that he restored morale and confidence in football at Buffalo on his arrival in 1929. \Yith barely enough material to form two elevens, Lee composed two eparate combinations which came to be known as the Bulls and the Ponies. The Ponies were the shock troops, and started the game. When this team had played long enough to afford the coach the opportunity to observe and appreciate the style of the opponents' play, the Bull. would be inserted. ubstitutions would be made not less than six men at a time, and usually two teams would change places. Lee's methods aroused the spirit of the students, which had been at a low ebb for a considerable length of time. Lee's admini tration inaugurated a new interest in football at the university. In his first year, Lee took an inexperienced and light team, composed principally of sophomores, and led them to six victories a compared to two losses. The next year, 1930, Carnegie and Fordham were scheduled with the hope that the Buffalo team would glean experience and a more desirable football technique from contact with teams of this calibre. Lee used every man on the squad in this game, but with Dutch Eyth running wild, the net result was that Carnegie overwhelmed Buffalo. Fordham at X ew York was practically the same story, except for the fact that the Rams scored only twice on the Buffalo varsity in two periods. Buffalo lost to AI fred in a night. contest, and clefeated Hamilton in a gruelling game. Sadly handicapped by injuries, the team was nosed out by Roche ter and Clarkson Tech but came back strong at the end of the eason to defeat 'Cpsala and Hobart by decisive margins. A year ago business exigencies forced Lee to resign from active coaching, and he was appointed director of football. ·w illiam Pritchard, of the Cniversity of Pennsylvania and former member of the Providence and ~ew York professional football teams, sue- ceeded Lee as the Buffalo coach. Without the services of eleven men from the team of the preceding season, Pritchard worked hard and long with the material on hand, and hopes ran high as the Buffalo supporters awaited the econd Carnegie invasion. sing substitutes only when absolutely necessary, the Bisons played a strictly defensive game and held the Tartans to a single touchdown in the opening half. Several unfortunate fumbles put Carnegie in scoring positions in the econd half, and although they annexed only 9 yards from scrimmage through the line, the final score wa 25-0. A seventyyard march down the field by Buffalo was halted by the final whistle. At Hanover on the following Saturday, the Dartmouth Indians passed their way to a 66-0 triumph over the Bisons, Coach Pritchard using the entire squad in this game. Buffalo defeated Alfred in the next game. At Hamilton, Buffalo scored 21 first downs to 6 for the Buff and Blue but emerged on the short end of the count. The Bisons were in posses ion of the ball for at least three-quarters of the game, and outplayed Hamilton in every department except scoring. The score was 6-2. Defeats by Rochester and Clarkson followed. Notre Dame sent its B team to Buffalo, and although Buffalo scored first the Baby Irish rushed out a 26-6 win. The Bisons ended the season with a 29-6 victor·y over Hobart, traditional rivals. Buffalo outscored every one of it opponents, except Carnegie and Dartmouth, in yardage and first downs gained, and yet finished the year with only two games in the win column. This year Buffalo has a new coach and two captains. The coach is James B. Wilson, who, although weighing only 138 pounds, was varsity end at Cornell in 1919. Now a practicing lawyer in Buffalo, Wil on was appointed coach last spring. The captains are Chet Ward, quarterback, and Bob (']eland, center. (Continued on page 2.3) �IIARY.\ RD .\ . :\. XEWS 6 Football Team Cross Section of College S ome F acts and F igures Concerning the M akeup of the Varsity S quad By HowLAND RussELL W HEN the Harvard varsity football squad goes into action every Saturday afternoon for the next seven weeks, the different athletes will be known to the general spectator only by numbers. An athlete may be the world to hi family and to his friends, but to the majority of the thousands of spectators he is only a number. A year ago, when Barry Wood was directing the activities of the Harvard team, his number, 52, came first to the minds of the watchers. Then came his name. The same may be said of Irad Hardy, the varsity tackle. He may make a great tackle, but not until the people see 55 on his back will they know it is Hardy. The Harvard quad, ho\Yever, is more than a collection of number which were seemingly drawn out of a hat and assigned to the various athletes. The squad is a compact analysis of the Harvard undergraduate body. It represents a cross section of the undergraduate of the college, and it is a versatile group. Harvard draws its enrollment from high school, private school, and preparatory school. No distinction is made other than on ability of the individual youth. The Harvard varsity squad, in its election, is a miniature of the College and "Gniversity. For instance, on the tentative first team, there are 11 young men from 10 different schools. Of the 11 athletes six are from private and preparatory schools. The other five, including Capt. Carl Hageman, came to Harvard directly from high school. There was no system of selection other than that of ability. Hageman, at one end, comes from Lorain, Ohio, High. Tom X azro, at the other end, is a product of X oble and Greenough. Irad Hardy, at one tackle, is from Waltham High. : \Ialcolm Bancroft, the other, is from Browne and Xichols. Jim Esterly, a guard, was graduated from ""est Side High of :\Iinneapolis, making the guards a llhigh, for Eddy Rogers came from Belleville, Ill., High. Roger H allowell, playing at center, prepared first at : \Iilton Academy and finished at Exeter. In the backfield, Harry ""ell , at quarter, was prepared at X orth Shore Country D ay at Hubbard Woods, Ill., Jack Crickard, at left halfback, came to Harvard from Lynbrook, L. I. High, Charley X evin, at right half, from ::\lorristown Academy in Xew Jer·sey, and L eft to right: Trainer Edward Farrell, End Coach Edward Bradford, and Line Coach Walter Cleary John Dean, at fullback, from Exeter. Taken from a squad viewpoint, 31 schools are represented on the list, with 10 athlete coming directly from high school. Quite a fe\v more, however, went to high school and then finished their preparatory work at a private institution. Were the check-up to be carried to several decimal points, the Left to right: Hageman, Francisco, Rogers, Hallowell, Esterly, Bancroft, Hardy, and Sazro �7 OCTOBER 1, 1932 finding probably would be that the squad is evenly divided between the two branches of learning. X ational as Harvard is in its character, so is the football squad. From 12 states, extending the length of the evidenced by the varsity squad. Here indeed is it shown that Harvard is a family institution, for 18 athletes are the sons of Harvard fathers, others are brothers of Harvard men, and another is the nephew of a former Crimson Left to right: Backfield Coach .Yils Xelson, Head Coach Edward Casey, Baclcfield Coach Arthur Sampson, Junior Varsity Coach James Kno:r, Kicking Coach Victor Kennard, and Dr. Augustus Thorndike Jr. continent, do the athletes come. Because Harvard draws most of its student body from Massachusetts, the football squad does the same thing. On the squad are 32 Bay State athletes, two-thirds of the roster, and because Harvard has a large enrollment from Greater Boston, it is only natural that 25 of the 32 ~Iassachu­ setts athletes are Greater Bostonians. -ew York contributes four, Illinois two, ?\ew Jersey two, and Yirginia, California, Minnesota, X e w Hampshire, Connecticut, Ohio, Maryland, and Pennsylvania each have one representative on the squad. ""ith so many schools represented at Harvard, the squad list shows that no one institution is what might be known as a "feeder," with the athletes being prepared at that school. If any school exerts much influence, it may be Exeter, which is represented by six members of the squad. Xoble and Greenough has sent four players to the varsity and .\ndover and Groton School three each. The others are distributed among the remaining 29 schools. That Harvard is just as dear to the sons as it was to the fathers is also athletic star. Possibly the outstanding sons are Hallowell, Bancroft, and Dean, whose fathers a score of years ago or more wrote Harvard athletic history. The veterans of sports still recall with pride the exploits of Jack Hallowell, Guy Bancroft, and Dudley Dean, and they recall Bert 'Vaters, whose nephew now rates as one of the better backs on the Harvard squad. For the sake of statistical proof, the following fathers are represented at the Stadium: Dr. John W. Bartol '87, Alva Crocker '79, Arthur F. N azro '03, Guy Bancroft '02, Frank G. Barrows '09, Alfred V. Kidder '08, Frank D. Littlefield '07, Charles B. Gleason '94 (with two sons), John W. Hallowell '01, George B. Simmons '07, Robert J. Leonard '06, Harry L. Wells '02, Stanton Whitney '01, Wallace C. Bennett '08, Dudley Dean '91, Byron S. Hurlbut '87, Dr. Edwin A. Locke '01, and Samuel H. Wolcott '03. This Harvard squad is a young man's outfit. Leon Francisco, the end who this year has been shifted to tackle, is the grand old man of the group at the ripe old age of 23 years. Especially decrepit must he seem to those sophomores, Donald Glea~on, Frank Schumann, and Chester Litman, who are only 18 despite their one year already in college. But Francisco is different from his mates only in that respect. He would not be singled out in a crowd as would Bancroft, whose 6 feet 5 inches of height place him two inches nearer the sky than any other member of the squad, or 10 inches taller than Deeb Peter and Carl Pescosolido, the midgets of the team. Not only is Peter the shortest, but he is the lightest, weighing only 157 pounds. That (Continued on page 25) L eft to right: F'.

Louder than the boom, boom of the political bandwagon sounds the thump of cleated leather upon the spheroid pigskin in a thousand green pastures, than which, to millions from Coast to Coast, there is no sweeter music filling the crisp, autumnal air. During the past two seasons the music struck a few sour notes, but its call remains as clarion as that of any trumpeter signalling the approach of the winner of the Olrmpic ~Iarathon. Blow, bugles, blow, hut leave your "Taps" behind when football comes around. 'Tis a hardy game that will not down, so long as youth dares to seek the bubble fame in the cannon's mouth, and there is some one to pay for the cannonballs. Rebuffed in 1930 and 1931 as no other American game has been in years. the football clan returns to the wars without any appreciable sign of a thinning of its ranks on any front. Like tomatoes and potatoes, admission tickets will be cheaper, expense will be curtailed, a handful of colleges that never were able to make a financial go of the sport will leave their goal posts ALLISON DANZLG in storage, or use them for kindling wood, and here and there a schedule has been shortened, a coach has been asked to walk the plank or a new "plan" bas been introduced by an institution suddenly conscience stricken over \Yhat others were conscious of all the time. But, by and large, and in the large college and small, business will go on pretty much as usual. . The bugaboo of football during recent years, commercialization, in 1932 has an entirely different connotation. Any graduate manager who can commercialize his games sufficiently to balance the budget for his athletic pmgram will probably get a personal call from :\Ir. Ogden l\Iills instead of being put on the carpet by an irate, under-paid faculty. Like last season's bonnet, overemphasis and commercialization have become passe. The big contention of the day in the ye:tr 1932 is to make the game safe for democracy- for your boy and mine, for the little college player as well as the big college player. Last year's mounting toll of mortal injuries was far more of a challenge to the solons of the game and to the educator than was any Carnegie Foundation's expose of abuses in our higher institutions. President Roosevelt had to step in and save football amid the hue and cry occasioned by the alarming casualties of 1905. Along toward December 1931, there was considerable trepidation lest the game was facing a similar CriSIS. William J. Hojj'man '33, D.1rtmouth Captain So 1\Ir. E. K Hall and his confreres on the Rules Committee convened at Hanover, N.H., and, after laboring for days in the shadow of the White Mountains, brought forth their answer to the demand for safeguards that would provide greater protection for the player without emasculating the game. The answer consisted of six changes in the playing code, one of which has since been substantially altered. These changes have to do with 1, the JohnS. Wilbur '33, Yale Captain kick-off; 2, the use of the hands by a defensive lineman; 3, the dead ball rule, bringing the runner to a stop automatically the moment any part of his body except his hands or feet touches the ground; 4, the elimination of the flying block and tackle; .5, the outlawing of hard and unyielding equipment worn by the player, and, 6, the liberalization of the substitution rule, making it possible for a player withdrawn from the game to return in any subsequent quarter. Rather a sweeping order, that, but despite the protests from a scattering of coaches, those who had a fair idea of what the game was all about a year ago needn't worry about having to be introduced all over again. .\ s Chick :Meehan suggests, it probably would be a popular idea to call a moratorium on any further changes in the code for five years, but in the face of the situation that obtained at the end of the 1931 season it would have been about as perilous to stand on the status quo as it would have been for the government to have ignored the demand for a reconstruction of the financial fabric. An emergency had arisen, and Messrs. Hall and Company were equal to it. (Continued on page 20) �9 OCTOBER 1, 1932 The Antiquity of Football E vidence S hows I t to B e Oldest of O utdoor G ames By F OOTBALL, or as it was called in olden times, campball, camping or hurling, may be traced from the present backward through century after century, until the trail is lost in the remoteness of antiquity. Indeed, abundant evidence may be marshalled to prove that football is the oldest of all outdoor games. In the 22nd chapter of Isaiah is found the verse, "He will turn and violently toss thee like a ball." Can it be possible that the prophet Isaiah was familiar with forward spinners? Is it possible that Bennie Friedman and Bennie Oosterbaan, forward pinner experts, were antedated by Isaiah by three thousand years? Xo, in our enthusiasm we will restrain ourselves and not claim so great an antiquity for the game as 800 before Christ. And then, again, there is that allusion in the Sixth Book of Homer's Odyssey: "Then having bathed and anointed well with oil, they rested upon the river's banks and then later played a game of ball." Although these lines are traces of a cold shower, a rubdown and a game, antiquaries tell us that this game was a choral dance by girls separated into two ranks in which they tossed a hall from one to an opposite to the accompaniment of choral singing. One more step, however, and we are clearly up again t real football. Every Greek lexicon contains the word harpaston, defined as a game with a football. Antiquaries have upplemented this meagre definition by asserting that it was a game strikingly similar to rugby football. They say it was played upon a rectangular field marked by side lines, goal lines and center line. The game began not by a kick-off but by a long forward pass whence it took its name, the word harpaston meaning to hurl forward, a root stem which i still preserved in the English word harpoon. " ·hen the Romans came in contact with the Greeks and seized their admirable institutions, they al o adopted this game of harpaston, slightly Latin- PARKE II. DAVIS 1zmg the name into harpastum. Under the Roman , football became a military game just as polo is today. lienee, when the Roman Legions taught the Britons to build walls and roads they also taught them to play football. The greatest of England's historians and poets have eulogized football and English folk-lore abounds with rhymes and maxims derived from the sport. Even the laws of England from Edward II onward reflect the presence of the popular sport. As an example let us quote a later law, denominated in the books, as 12 Edward III, in which many sports were prohibited among which were" Manualem, Pedinam, Baculoream et ad Cambucam." Devotees of modern sports afield will recognize with pain beneath these names in law-Latin their beloved handball, football, hockey and golf." The trouble was these games distracted from the practice of archery, the mainstay of warring England. However, not only did the game thrive notwithstanding these royal proclamations against it but it thrived in full view of the placards upon walls and trees. In London the apprentices assembled in great number to play on Finsbury Fields. At Teddington and Twickenham each Shrove Tuesday prudent householders covered their windows with boards and branches until the mighty game that roared through the streets for hours was ended. In fact in all market towns throughout England on this holiday business was suspended and the afternoon was given over to a great game of football in which his Honor the Mayor invariably kicked off and every able bodied citizen followed the ball. With the arrival of the year 1600 football was regarded as a national institution throughout England. One of the great classic games of the country was staged each Shrove Tuesday at Chester, a fixture which the antiquaries even of that period claimed had come down the centuries in commemoration of that great day in 217 when their ancestors had formed a mighty flying wedge and rushed the Roman legions out of Chester. Symbolic of that struggle, the goals were the Town Hall and a cross that stood outside of the city on an open space formerly called the Rood Eye but now known as the Rodehee, thus leaving between a vast space featured with fences, walls, trees, hou es, city blocks, and streets, but furnishing, nevertheless, a playground none too large for the several hundred players who participated. Occasionally in this period a town challenged a town, or the game would be between parish and parish. Upon such occasions the ball would be kicked off midway between the two places and the game would wax furiously for hours up hill and down dale until darkness set in or until one side had kicked the ball into the other's town. In 1681 the game had so ingratiated itself into popular favor that kings laid aside their opposition to the spOit. In the year just mentioned, Charles II formed a team and challenged the Duke of Albemarle, the latter winning the contest. The mo t momentous circumstance, however, of this time was the adoption of the game by the great schools of England for it wa~ in the secondary chools and not in the univer ities that field sports originally were cradled. Football had been an inter-university sport in .\.merica before the first inter-university game in England was played. Among the school boy leaders at football were the poets, Jo eph Addison of Charter House, William Cowper of Westminster, John Dryden also of Westminster and :M atthew Pryor of the same school. Throughout Scotland, al o, football was the special observance of the great holiday of Candlemas Day. No other festivity could compare with the approach of the Candlemas Ba. Sometimes on this day the East end of a town challenged the West. More often (Continued on page 24) �10 HAR\'.\RD .\ . .\. ~E\YS New H ampshire Next Stadium Visitor Cowell Will Bring Down His Usual Strong Small College Eleven By IRVtKG BURWELL F OR the third time in Harvard football history, and for the second successive year, the l!niversity of Xew Hampshire will provide a Crimson varsity team with its second game opposition. There is reason to expect that the Granite Staters will give the Crimson team a rugged contest. ! On the occasion of the fir t game in 1931 Harvard won 39-0. It was Xew Hampshire's experience then, and again a year ago. to find a foe that had made marked advance since its fi1·st game and was clicking on high. On both occasions the Harvard coaches were driving teams toward early sea on games with Army. A week after the 1929 ?\ ew Hampshire game there occurred the memorable 20-20 game with the Cadets in the Stadium, and a week after the game a year ago the thrill laden 14-13 Harvard victory was achieved on the West Point field. There of course is no occasion for this Harvard team to anticipate so rugged a test on October 8 that it will risk a second game defeat. On the other hand New Hampshire one of the e days is going to make good its boast of 1929 when it definitely promised to score, but did not. Certainly from a standpoint of weight and of squad number it makes an ideal early sea on foe, one that will play hard football and supply a versatile attack. This Kew Hampshire squad is coached by Bill Co,vell, as permanent a fixture at Kew Hampshire as its buildings, the guiding spirit behind the erection at Durham of an ideal small college athletic plant. It is interesting to observe that in the last three years New Hampshire has played 26 football games, and has failed to core in only two of those games, both of which were played in the Stadium. In the last three years it has scored 27 points to 33 in three games with Brown, and of its last 26 games it has lost only six. This 1\ew Hamp hire team will be minus many of the veterans who disported on Stadium turf a year ago. Coaches Cowell, Jliller and Christiansen of Sew Hampshire Howard Hanley, a good end, Phil "'ageman, guard, Dick Eu tis, Slack Brothers, and Bill "'ood are gone; but Dunnan and Learmonth, a center and tackle, have had Stadium experience as have Jim Ballou, John Sweetser, and George Bacheller. Charley Graffam at quarterback, Bob Haphey and La\Yrence ":\IcGowan, backs, are other player who will not be prone to the proverbial Stadium fever, while Bob .\.ndrews and John Yaughan, ends, had considerable experience last sea,on. Xew Hampshire has always been able to field a big, heavy line, though Cowell has a preference for light, fast guards, and the backs have usually been of the 165-pound average. This eason 's squad i built along not·mal lines, though without any doubt the squad boasts a tackle group which, regardless of other qualifications, ranks as one of the heaviest groups that will be found on any college field. The probable starting tackles against Harvard from point of experience will be Arthur Learmonth '33 and James Ballou '34. They are six footers who respectively weigh 198 and 210. Checking through other tackle weights, and they look big enough on the field, we find Ed Batchelder '34, 194 pound , Harrison Chesley '34, 184, Ben Dorson '34, 218, William McDermott '35, 195, and Peter Ktisites '35, 201 pounds. T\YO of the experienced guards, George Bacheller '34 and John Sweetser '34, weigh 186 and 176 pounds, while Donald Dunnan '33, the veteran center, will go 178 pounds. Charles Doloff '33, his sub titute center, weighs 160 pounds. If Xew Hampshire can place the six footers Robert .\.ndrews '34 and Frank Knox '34, who respectively weigh 185 and 194, the Wildcats will have a forward line with good size and weight. The backs are light and in the 165pound class. Lawrence ~IcGowan '33 and George L. Jacques '34 will scale 175, and Charles Graffan '34, probable starting quarterback, and Robert D. Haphey, experienced halfback, about 163 pound . " ' inslow ".bite '33 and Howard Winslow '34 are backs with squad experience, and there is the sophomore quartet of George )J"ewman, George II. Rogers, Glen Stewart, and Thomas Clark, none of whom is heavy. X ew Hampshire has had its share of losses, but it has weight, speed, and enthusiasm which it is demonstrating for the first time October 1 against Boston "Cniversity. The Harvard staff may be glad it scouted the Wildcats before that game is over. �OCTOBER 1, 1932 11 A Problem In Wearing Apparel Harvard O utfits 600 Football P layers .from H ead to T oe Annually By ... I saw young Harry, with his beaver on, Ilis cuisses on his thighs, gallantly ann'd . The properly dressed young man in Harvard athletics who runs forth to Soldiers Field cui~sed and hauberked has availed himself of the services of the equipment room in general and of James Farrell in particular. Farrell is commissaire of athletic equipment, outfitter to his majesty the college athlete. He holds forth behind the counter of an enormous room on the ground floor of the Dillon Field House, an area about the length of two tennis courts placed end to end, and about as wide as one. Here athletic equipment is passed out to many athletes. A cursory sweeping view of this great section reminds one of a vast baggage room in a railroad station with a touch of atmosphere borrowed from a storage warehouse, except that the Field House is light, dustless, and airy. More than anything else, steel lockers and cabinets take up a visitor's first glance, sections of steel down one side, down the center, and half way down the other side, where a glass partitioned cobbler's shop enters the picture. This glass cage is loaded with plenty of honest-to-goodness shoe machinery and two cobblers. There is also a sewing machine, for, besides remedying the ~hoe where it pinches, the cobblers are frequently called upon to make alterations in these complicated shoulder and hip harnesses. By slicing here and adding there, in the end they make a fit that would do credit to a cutter's trade. Everywhere are white duffle bags, little push-about-trucks on wheels, and low, wide stepladders al o on wheels so that they may be moved about in getting at equipment stored in upper tiers of cabinets. Hanging up in another corner of the room is a collection of lacrosse sticks, looki:1g from a distance like snow shoes. Right in the center of things is a SARGE TT C'OLLIER hook full of shoe laces. There is nothing more exasperating, as every commuter knows, than to break one's shoe lace. It's a major catastrophe at any hour of the day, but if it occurs in the Dillon Field House, there is no worry, for the procedure is simply to yell for another. There are plenty of them in the equipment room. The steel cabinets which line the room deserve careful inspection. Labels placed on them announce that within may be found baa-baa coats, speed shoes, and game underwear. Baa-baa coats are those fleece-lined brown ulsters with the huge collars in which the football player hides himself on the bench and which serve to keep him from freezing. Speed shoes are given to the team on the day of the game, shoes faster, lighter, and more expensive than the ordinary week-day wear. In fact all new clothes are given out on game days. Various other cabinet labels indicate oilcloth pants, varsity blankets, etc. Here are a few jump ropes to keep the soccer team in condition, and here is also a whole section of paper cups. Another label indicates mud shoes, which are shoes with extra-long cleats used only on wet days. Another cabinet is full of disci and another of basketballs. There is also a large bottle of powdered whitewash used for brightening up the bases for the baseball team and for whitening the goal tender's hockey pads. The exhibit continues. There is a tall cabinet full of javelins hanging up after the fashion of bi lliard cues. Not far away are the large packing cases in which the javelins were shipped from Finland. Sticking out of a half-opened box we saw a new football, and noted the directions on the side of the ball, a warning to a high pressure age. The stamped letters read: NEVER USE SERVICE STATIO:\!" AIR. USE FOOT OR HA1'lD PUMP. DO :\I"OT I:\I"FLATE MORE THAN THIRTEEN POUNDS. Both impres<;ive and amusing i<> the use of white adhesive tape. It i<> purchased by the case and used by the yard, huge cartons of it filled wi t h tins full of tape cylinders, each of which might hold three tenni<> ba lls. The doctors may employ this tape to ankles and arms, but the equipment r-oom makes str-ange uses of it, such as holding placards, replacing signs, and marking things in general. When a slice is stuck across a locker, it offers a place to write a man's name.Behind Farrell's desk i'> plastered a strip listing almost any telephone number you could ask for. So it goes. Everything is in its place, thousands of dollars worth of equipment for all sorts of teams carefully sorted and bunched together. These are the things that a visitor will see at times during the year if he visits the Field House, but there is another side to the matter which everyone does not see. The equipment is placed in the Field House to be distributed and used, and that is a different matter. When the call for players is out, the corps at the Field House, with filing cards handy, passes out equipment to the long lines that wait for it as practice opens. This fall, when varsity, junior varsity, freshman, House, and dormitory teams luwe reported, equipment will have been bund led out to some six hundred men, entire outfits, underwear, jerseys, pants, stocking-;, etc., all rolled up like a Civil War soldier's blanket and cleverly held together by one of the two garters. Shoes, of course, are fitted. The Athletic .\.ssociation decrees that each player must have three changes of underwear a week, and the schedule is staggered to prevent congestion. Some get a new change Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while others change Tuesdays, Thursdays, :1lld Saturdays. Everything given out i recorded on a card with the player's name.

THE NEws will cover the beginnings of soccer, cross country, and fall rowing, with comments especially on the freshman teams being formed.

Subscribers may get their game copies at the sta nds underneath sections 5, 17 , 28, 32, and 34. / .\.DIO broadcasting of eastern college football games this fall will be as general as in other years. Harvard games with Army and Dartmouth will go on the air. Yale games with Army and Harvard will be heard, and so it goes. Reconsideration of a decision made last spring has prompted most of the eastern colleges to offer radio the same privileges as a year ago, and has satisfied the persons most concerned, the alumni in remote sections and the invalids at home or in hospitals who otherwise could not enjoy a full report of the play in the Stadium, the Bowl or on countless other gridirons. The games this year which go on the air as commercial broadcasts will be so few in number as to be almost negligible. No Harvard game has ever gone on the air tagged with the name of any particular product, nor has the Association ever made a charge for broadcasting privileges. The football game aired from Cam bridge and from practically all colleges is purely a free will offering to radio listeners, transmitted to them through a radio announcer and a radio station, the chief personal contact being furnished by the announcer. Occasionally in the past such radio broadcasts have been marred by indiscreet announcers whose habits of editor:al izing without due reflection have been distasteful. They do not realize that colleges give these games not to radio and announcers, but through them to the public. The colleges extend a privilege, which radio stations indirectly commercialize, by creating good will and popularity for their own stations. It is not too much to ask of all football announcers that they respect that privilege during the coming football season, that they bear in mind that college football is played by undergraduates, young men engaged in a recreational activity, and that the quality of their play never should be held up to public ridicule. P A Rule to Watch ROR-\.BL Y none of the new football rules will be more interesting to watch from the standpoint of influence on the game this year than the rule permitting more liberal substitution . .\. player withdrawn from the game now may re-enter it in any subsequent period, whereas in the past a player could not re-enter the game in the same half. Aimed to prevent injury, by making it possible for coaches to take out a bruised player without sidelining him for an extended period of time as the result, the rule should be a great aid in that direction. However, the real influence on the game may be exerted in a different direction. It will make possible the insertion of specialists on at least four occasions. It will give coaches an opportunity to season substitute players in the fading minutes or a quarter, and it opens up an entirely new branch of football strategy. It should add to the safety, speed, and attractiveness of the game. In This Issue PAGE Cover, by A. R. Savrann . .

The kick-off under the new rule "'ill present no ne"· a pect except that five members of the receiving side will be restrained to their 45-yard line, an innovation through which it is hoped to check the increasing use of the flying wedge in returning the kick. The kick from placement will continue to be the method of putting the ball in play. The restriction against the use of the hands in striking a defensive lineman on the head, neck or face is simply a tightening up of an old rule that sought to achieve the same end but which was being abused in the growing infliction of the dangerous rabbit punch. It may be difficult for officials to distinguish between pushing or warding off with the hands and striking with the hands. and the severity of the penalty- disqualification of the offender and loss to his team of half the distance to the goal line-may make them unduly lenient in imposing it. Some coaches maintain that this means the doom of the small lineman, but they are merely saying that the only way the small man can make the grade is by giving him the right to crack the big man on the base of the skull, which is neither cricket nor footbalL Perhaps a few outcries will be heard during the season over the fact that a carrier here and there slipped in the open when he had a chance to get away for a touchdown and was restrained from getting up by the new dead ball rule; but for every touchdown that fails to materialize under such circumstances, there will probably be several times as many players saved from bad injuries. Those close to football realize that a man i never more open to serious harm than when he is off balance or struggling to his feet, with four to eight hundred pounds of muscle and sinew rushing in to crush him back to earth. The flying block and tackle are among the most spectacular sights in a football game, but you see very few of them made these days. The most successful coaches teach their men to keep their feet on the ground until almost the instant of contact. It is easier to avoid a blocker or tackler who has prematurely committed himself than one who keeps his feet and direction until his target is within arm's reach. About the only time the flying tackle is seen nowadays is when the man with the ball is in the clear and his pursuer from behind hurls himself through the air in desperation. The outlawing of dangerous equipment is old stuff and needs no defense. Some years ago the idea in football was to pad the player to protect him. The idea went too far. In protecting the player, the rights of his opponent were lost sight of, or else, with malice aforethought, were deliberately abused by the adoption of armament that would imperil his limbs through contact with hard and unyielding materiaL The idea now is turn away wrath with softer padding. The liberalizing of the substitution rule, which makes it possible for a player, once removed, to return to the game in any subsequent quarter instead of the subsequent half, is a boon to the small-college team or to the big-college team with a limited squad. �OCTOBER I, 1932 fll HOTEL COMMANDER I I "AT THE ELM" CAMBRIDGE, MASS.

The coaches are less worried about the backfield reserves than about the rush line. Looking at the situation in general, we seem weaker than at the co rresponding time last year in our B material and in our passing game. We have just as much weight, possibly a little more speed, and we ought to have fair kicking. It will take two or three games to indicate what we will have in sustained driving power and in generalship. Wells, Whitney and Peter haYe had little game experience in handling a team, and from that standpoint they are more unseasoned than some varsity quarterbacks of recent years. In the practice scrimmages, the coaches more than ever have tried to put the quarterbacks on their own, but while such experience is helpful, the conditions never approximate those of an actual game. Our schedule is a hard one. The team will be forced to play at top speed in the last six games, against Penn State, Dartmouth, Brown, .\.rmy, H oly C'ross, and Yale. \Ye can not experience any mid se::tson let down such as we had a year ago and such as we have had in other years, and not face a most serious problem. \Ye are quite optimistic however. This H arvard squad seems to have inherited all the enthusiasm, willingness, courage and, I hope, love of victory that Barry Wood's team had, and those qualities will carry it a long way.

The income is used to defray part of the college expenses of the students Working at the stands. expensive equipment is carefully checked, and if the los does not come to light, it is charged on the term bill. Every year about four dozen new uniforms are purchased for the varsity squad, and when the season is over, the varsity players never see them again. Instead, these uniforms are handed down the following season to the junior varsity players, who in turn, at the end of their season, pass them down to the House players for a third year of use. The scheme is alternated every year, so that when the uniforms do not descend to the junior varsity, they go to the freshmen, and after that they make the rounds of the various dormitory squads. The matter of footballs makes another interesting item of equipment. About sixty balls go out to the various fields every day, about twenty to the varsity, a dozen to the juniors, the same number to the freshmen, six or seven to the House squads, and a like number to the dormitory squads. Two new balls are given to the varsity every day, and two of the older ones make a descent down the line of teams much as the uniforms do. The various teams have differently colored helmets, for only by such a scheme can the equipment for each squad be told apart readily. The varsity helmets are red of course. The junior varsity helmets are green, while the freshmen wear red ones with a white stripe down the center, and the helmets for the other teams have different color and stripe combinations. Try sorting out some 600 helmets sometime, and you will appreciate the boon that a color scheme is even in football headgear. Equipment for the most part can be allotted in a general way ..\ man will announce his waist size, head size, and shoe size, and there is the equipment ready for him to put on. Every once in a while, however, a man comes along whom the regular equipment will not fit, and in such a situation the only remedy is to make special pants or shoes or helmets as the case may be. Sometimes the variance from the normal sizes reaches odd proportions. For instance, one of the present varsity players has a thigh as big as an ordinary person's waist, 30 inches, and this same man wears a seven and three-quarters helmet. Special equipment was necessary here ..\n other varsity player this year wears a size fourteen EE shoe, and at one time the Athletic Association had to order a seven and seven-eighths helmet for a player. Fortunately, the majority of the players who report come in standard sizes, or else the outfitting problem would be far more gigantic than it is. Looking at sizes in a more general manner, pants sizes vary from 32 to 46 at the waist, shoes run from size 6 up to size H, and helmets run from six and seven eighths to seven and seven eighths. The task of properly equipping Harvard athletic teams is a gigantic problem. The purchasing of the equipment is only the beginning, for it must be distributed to all who wish to use it, and it must be cared for and stored away when not used. It must be kept in constant repair, for another season always is coming. �OCTOBER 1, 1932 1882-1932 ~ Our Golde n Anniver sary Over 30,000 llarvard Men can't b3 wrong J o in t h e Coop- It pays you a dividend Dunster House TENNIS RACI{ETS $3 50 Buffalo H as Football Revival (Continued from page 5) Assisting Wilson are Stan Drumsta, Buffalo captain in 1928, Chuck Cook, Syracuse star and teammate of Yic Hanson, and Les Knapp, former Buffalo letter man who will have charge of the fre hman squad. While Drumsta handles the line and Cook instruct the backfield aspirants, Wilson devotes his time to polishing individual play. The two most likely prospects are :\Iarshall Stoll, a rangy, wiry sophomore, who is playing his first time in a Buffalo uniform, and another big sophomore, Kenneth Hyer, an all-around performer. •\ third possibility will be Lattimer Ford, a veteran of two seasons, who exceL in passing and plunging. Other prominent candidates for the backfield positions are DeGraff, a member of last year's football and basketball teams, and Service, anchor man on the relay team. Fighting it out for the fullback post are Bob Rich and John Seubert. Rich was the center and Seubert a back on the 1931 freshman eleven. Rich is the more likely of the two because he has adapted himself readily to the new position and because he is the stronger and heavier. At the quarterback post will be found Co-captain Ward, who did most of the passing and punting last year and a good hare of the ball carrying. Ward is a veteran of two seasons. He is being oppo ed by Bill Harris. Co-captain Cleland will be found at the center position. A veteran of two campaigns, Cleland is rated as one of the best pivots of the small colleges in the East, is bulky and tall, an accurate passer and a superb defense man. Juniors and sophomore compose the rest of the front wall. Of the tackles Presser, Yochelson, Moody, Delaney, and Pape show up the best. Presser, who scales 225 pounds, and Yochelson undoubtedly will get the nod from Coach Wilson because they have both seen varsity service. There is a dearth of guard material, and the competition is keen . Four veterans, Griswold, t.;hrhan, Rich, and Dietter, are the outstanding candidates, with the first two the probable starters. Wilson faces a most difficult task. He is changing the style of play, discarding the X otre Dame system of the past three years, and has substituted " 'arner wingbacks in its place. He must replace some of the most brilliant athletes in the history of the school, and condition the replacement to withstand the attacks of Cornell and Harvard on successive Saturdays. to $ } 4 85 B ALLS- 3 for 1.00 SQUASH BATS $5 00 to $8 00 BALLS- 40c THE COOP.

The game, howeve1·, will not pass wholly into oblivion for the victorious sheriff of Ettrick and captain of that team was none other than Sir 'Yalter Scott, and he also occupies a place among our football bards for he wrote for this game the original football song, here reproduced in part: "From the brown crest of :Kewark its summons extending Our signal is waving in smoke and in flame, And each forester blithe from his mountain descending Bounds light o'er the heather to get in the game. Then, strip, lads, and to it tho sharp be the weather, And if by mischance you should happen to fall, There are worse things in life than a tumble on heather, And life is itself but a game of football. And when it is over we'll drink a blithe measure To each Laird and each Lady that witnessed our fun, And to every blithe heart that took part in our pleasure To the lads that have lost and the lads that have won."

Where is the football man or woman who does not hare in the glorie of Old Bigside at Rugby? Football at this famou chool prior to 18z3 was characterized as at all other English schools by the prohibition against carrying the ball. But there came a crisp X ovember day in 1823 when a hundred boys had gathered for Bigside. The game soon was in action, and backward and forward surged the ball without a score. The time wore on until the school bell trembled on the stroke of five, the hour which (Continued on page 28) �25 OCTOBER 1, 1932 Lowell Bros. & Bailey Co.

The strange part, incidentally, about Kidder and Hardy, is that neither is a giant in height, the two are merely built compactly, along what are known as "powerhouse" lines. These matters of weights and heights however, make Harvard little different from any other college football squad. There are giants and midgets, heavyweights and welterweights. There is, however, one outstanding characteristic of this 1932 squad, and that is- only one athlete of the 47 on the squad is a one-sport athlete. In other words, of the whole group, only one competes in football alone. All the others, if they wished, could participate in other sports at Harvard, for they have done so in the school days. That group's activities, furthermore, do not include tennis and golf, in which some of the athletes are proficient, nor does it include rugby, in which Stanton Whitney, Allie Sherman, and Hardy participated the past spring. Track leads the list of eight extra-football sports, for it has been found that 20 members either compete at Harvard or have done so in their school days. Second on the list is baseball, with 15 while hockey wins by one athlete over crew, which has a total of 13 oarsmen in the group. Basketball has six devotees, lacrosse three, and wrestling and boxing two each. Capt. Carl Hageman was a foursports athlete at Lorain High, but since coming to Harvard has engaged only in football and basketball, leaving track and baseball behind him . The number of three-sports athletes is so extensive, it would take almost three-quarters of the squad list, but it might be mentioned that Frank Gleason, who made his major letters in football and baseball and a minor letter in hockey, should make a sweep of the varsity insignia. Only in this matter· of versatility is Harvard different from others. In other respects it is like the rest of the squads and like the rest of Harvard. There are the sedate athletes and the happy go lucky ones. Some are studious naturally. Others must force themselves to be studious. They are just normal young men, and when they come out on the field on a Saturday afternoon, they become numbers. Crimson Printing Co.

A long sailing punt came down the field into the arms of a town boy of Rugby, William Webb Ellis. Under the rules he should have heeled it and then fallen back for a free kick, but with the inspiration of desperation, contrary to rule and custom, he caught the ball, tucked it under his arm and started in flight straight up the field, zig-zagging in and out between all opponents. This flagrant breach of the rules was censured for a few days, and then the school boy leaders saw an opportunity for a great innovation in the game. In that moment was organized the Rugby style of football play in which the ball is carried and not kicked along the ground. In an ivy grown wall at Rugby has been placed a tablet preserving to posterity the name and exploit of this school boy genius . The inscription on this memorial tablet reads as follows: This Stone Commemorates the Exploit of WILLIAM WEBB ELLIS Who with a fine disregard of the rules of football as played in his time First took the ball in his arms and ran with it thus Originating the distinctive feature of The Rugby Game A.D. 1823. Following the exploit of William Webb Ellis at Rugby, two formal games began to develop in England, one in which the ball was kicked and the other in which the ball was carried. Throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, however, these teams played according to custom or according to rule especially drafted for their games. Finally, December 13, 1862, the clubs in the vicinity of London which played the kicking type of game assembled in a convention at which was organized the London Football Association and a code of rules drafted. This code prohibited carrying the ball. Hence, from that day to this, the kicking type of game has been called ".\..ssociation" after the London Football A sociation. The success of the London Football Association in maintaining an orderly game prompted the Rugby players also to form an association which they did, January 26, 1871. taking the name of the Rugby Football nion. In 1869 William Gummere, a senior at Princeton, now the Chief Ju tice of Xew Jersey, conceived the idea of an intercollegiate game of football with Rutgers. William Legget, the football leader of Rutgers, joined the movement, and thus was played at X ew Brunswick, ~ ovember 23, 1869 the first game of intercollegiate football in the world, Rutgers winning 6 to 3. The rules were a modification of A sociation football. The sport was continued in 1870, Columbia joining and in the succeeding years, Yale and Harvard. In 1876 Princeton promoted a convention of Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, at which the Rugby Union Code was adopted, and an Intercollegiate Football Association formed. That code, with the many changes and inventions introduced year after year since 1876, i the present American intercollegiate game. �1- A REMINDER • That these publications, representing major sporting events of the past year, were printed by The Andover Press. • That the same concern also produces many fine magazines, catalogues, brochures, and privately printed books. • That we respectfully request an opportunity to discuss your printing requirements with you.

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

The entire University joins "·ith '' Biffy'' Lee's legion of friends in congratulating him on his forty-fourth anniversary today. ~"""""il!l!ll"ll"ll"llll'crunmmnncrnmmmmrmmnrnm '"'""" ""' """' "' """"""""" "' "' """"""" "' l!l!mmmuucrum.rlllll!

If they are good to you, why not be good to them? They like light, and plenty of it. They are at their best when the sun is shining brightly. Yet even when the sun is hidden by dark clouds there is probably 800 times as much light as in your living room in the evening. Help your eyes do their work. Put the right size MAZDA lamp in every socket. MAZDA lamps are cheaper than ever. And good lighting costs so little, too. About 3c an evening will completely light your living room. For while the price of most necessities has almost doubled, Niagara Hudson electricity costs less today than when the "flying wedge" was introduced to football.

U of B's Epochal Achievement on Grid Last Year Spurs Members of Squad to Greater Heights ILI]NDER " BIFFY" LEE'S excellent coaching, the University of Buffalo football squad last year enjoyed an epochal chievement on the football gridiron. The team representing our university last season was strangely different than those of former years, thanks to the ability and coaching of a splendid mentor. It displayed timing, co-ordination and a punch, all of which are essential to a winning aggregation. It showed a precision and a uniformity that follow long hours of strict discipline. In short, a real honest-to-goodness football machine replaced the group of individuals of former years. 1 1~1 CAPT. K IUDALL A winning team, were it no more than that, could not merit the unbounded enthusiasm which has en- tered our very beings. But the football success has been reflected unequestionably in every other activity and accomplishment of the University of Buffalo since "Biffy" Lee took active charge of athletics. Therein alone lies the justification for greater emphasis upon athletics in our college life. The season was characterized by the introduction of two complete teams-the "Ponies" and the "Bulls." Each team was a unit carefully trained and coached and each had definite duties to perform. Their success can be easily estimated by a glance at the season's score card. Therefore, to these men who have so nobly displayed a love of sport and a keen desire to serve Alma Mater may we extend congratulations. Their achieve- ED MALAxowrcz ments made last season, the natal year of football tradition, and in time to come every name that appears on the squad roll will be harkened back to, · 1 iillli!lllllllliliillilliilllilllllllijliil!lii!lllllll!!ill!llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllli 1 !!!111111111!111111111111111111DIDIDIIIIIIIIIIIIII!illllllll!!llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliilli!llllllllllllll l ll ll lliilliili!illiilllllli i lllllll !!i l l ll lll llllll lll l l l l ~ �as being an integral part in the great success of Coach "Biffy" Lee's initial year as football director. The university again this season is greatly indebted to "Biffy" for the things he is giving it-in spirit-in tradition and in the building of finer fellows. It is difficult to choose from so carefully co-ordinated a team any who have risen above their mates on this year's squad, yet undeniably Ed Malanowicz, Captain Earle Ridall and Bob Beyer are deserving of special mention for their display of ability and spirit while a member of the Blue and White. And we cannot easily forget Eddie Malanowicz's runs of 95, 80, 73, 55 and 53 yards for touchdowns; Earle Ridall for his high grade consistent play, and Bob Beyer's suBOB BEYER perb line plunging.

BUFFALO DISTRIBUTORS �.-aynr • itn~srlJ's tJrnrlamatinn ALLING ATTENTION to the fact that today opens the schedule of events for the University of Buffalo's eightyfourth year, Mayor Charles E. Roesch issued the following proclamation: "In reminding the citizens of Buffalo that Saturday, September 27, is University of Buffalo Alumni Homecoming Day, it is appropriate to emphasize the importance of the university in our social, civic and educational life and to urge all of our people to enter into the spirit of the occasion with that wholesome enthusiasm for which our city is famous. "The faculty and student body have extended a cordial invitation to all citizens to participate in the celebration, which will begin on the campus at 11 A. M. and include parades on the campus and through the city streets, culminating in the big football game at the Bison Stadium when our own university team will meet the nationally famous eleven of Carnegie Tech in what is expected to be one of the best local gridiron contests in recent years. "That the University of Buffalo is beginning its eighty-fourth year with such auspicious prospects is a source of honest pride to all citizens and that it is rapidly forging to the front among higher institutions of learning in America enables us to face the future with confidence that adequate educational facilities are being provided for posterity. "Therefore, on behalf of all the citizens of Buffalo, it is a privilege to extend to homecoming alumni a hearty welcome, to assure the students and faculty of our steadfast support and to commend the University of Buffalo to all people as a priceless heritage."

Title A name given to the resource Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo Football Program Collection, 1930-2010 Description An account of the resource The Tom Borrelli University at Buffalo football programs collection contains programs from UB and opposing teams from the 1930s to 2010. The rich history of the University at Buffalo’s Buffalo Bulls spans decades and is well documented in this collection. Included in the programs are team rosters, season schedules, photographs of various teams and events, and local advertisements specific to the college hosting the program. There is a gap in coverage between the following years: 1975-1986, 1986-1993, 1993-2000, and 2004-2010. The history of collegiate sports at the University at Buffalo began in 1894 when the football team played their inaugural season. Although the entire UB athletics program was cancelled in 1904 due to a lack of financial support, personnel, and leadership, it was reinstated in 1915. All intercollegiate athletics were suspended for the duration of World War II. UB sport teams returned in 1946 and the football program continued to grow and flourish. The football program has celebrated many accomplishments over the decades. The UB Bulls won the Lambert Cup in 1958 and the Mid-American Conference in 2008. On September 4th, 1993, the Bulls joined Division I for the first time since the establishment of the three subdivisions in 1973. September 28th, 2013 marked the Bulls bowl eligibility for the third time after their 41-12 win over Connecticut. This collection of football programs was compiled by Tom Borrelli. Born September 12th, 1957 in Buffalo, New York, Borrelli was a prominent sports journalist and reporter, the first ever to be inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007. He graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in 1975 and from SUNY Buffalo State in 1979. He worked for newspapers in Bluefield, West Virginia; Binghamton, New York; and Painesville, Ohio as part of their sports departments before he began working at The Buffalo News in October, 1989; and continued reporting for the News until his death in 2008. He covered the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo’s professional lacrosse team and local high school sports teams in Western New York. In 2005, the National Lacrosse League created a scholarship in his honor. Originally for the league’s writer of the year, it changed, along with its title (Media Person of the Year) in 2011 to allow for a broader range of media members within the league to qualify for the award. Tom Borrelli was severely injured at Robert Rich All High Stadium while covering a local high school football game on November 8th, 2008; passing away two weeks later at the age of 51 on November 20th. Following his death in 2008, The Buffalo News created a scholarship along with a trophy named in his honor in 2009. Each year the scholarship and trophy goes to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York.

The faculty and I were pleased and honored to host 116 parents. Approximately half of the parents who attended the campus were from the Western ew York and upstate areas and the remainder from the ew York City area. The program included an afternoon of visits to the Preclinical Departments, a session with me and members of my staff, a reception at the Historical Society, and a morning at the Erie County Medical Center. Included among our goals was the opportunity for parents to observe and learn first hand the experiences shared in by their sons and daughters, to become acquainted with the faculty and to learn how patients are utilized in integrating preclinicai and clinical skills and competencies. From the desk of John Naughton, M.D. Dean, School of Medicine The weekend, by all accoun_ts, was a howling success. It permitted a much needed opportunity for faculty and administrative reappraisal and renewal, and provided a forum in which the needs and expectation of faculty were matched with those of parents and students. I am pleased to report that this adventure was indeed successful and fulfilling, and that we are committed to adding it as a regular function of the School of Medicine's practices for the years to come. □ �Volume 15, Winter 1981 umber 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN (U PS 551-860) Published by the School of Medicine, State University of EDITORIAL BOARD Editor ROBERTS.

Spring Clinical Day The crowd was larger than usual at the Buffalo Convention Center that heard Dean John aughton welcome physicians at the opening session of the 44th annual Spring Clinical Day. Dr. aughton thanked them for their continued support and especially the class gifts. He also noted that the budget log-jam had been broken and the Health Sciences Center on the Main Street Campus would become a reality in a few years. "I congratulate the Medical Alumni Association for putting on this outstanding program. The Medical School is becoming more and more involved with programs and problems of the aging." In his remarks as moderator Dr. Harold Brody, M'61, said, "this morning will be spent in a multidisciplinary approach to aging in the fact that we will deal with social, behavioral and ethical concerns in caring for the elderly as well as considering several areas of medical specialty care. Ors. Dickman, Brody "Let me introduce at least one controversial area in caring for the aged. Older Americans as a class are deprived of many necessities. They must retire from economic productivity while often still vigorous. They are socially stigmatized and taken advantage of by society. Their income is often cut at least in half and they can hardly afford proper food and health care at a time when it is crucial. On one hand we have conquered many diseases that had prevented people from reaching full maturity but now are not sure of what comes next." The professor and chairman of the department of anatomical sciences at U/B noted that since World War II our society has become accustomed to youth. During the next 50 years, while this baby boom ages, our society will become strongly age-heavy. One in nine Americans is now over 65 and in 50 years it will be one in every five. Many doctors have paid only off-hand attention to the later years. One study shows that interest in and respect for the elderly deteriorate during the process of medical education. Yet, when today's medical students are at the height of their careers, they will spend three-fourths of their time and effort caring for the elderly. 2 THE 8 FFALO PHYSICIAN �"Unfortunately, physicians today, even when well intentioned, do not always know ho\-Yto treat the old. Richard Besdine points out that few know what is clinically normal in old age and what are signs of trouble. Although the leading gerontological research in the world is done in this country, physicians still shrug off some treatable conditions with resigned reference to the patient's age, misunderstanding symptoms expectable in the elderly and prescribe as they would for someone younger. What is particularly important is that at times they fail to consider the effects on health of accumulated losses - loss of loved ones, of purpose, of power. "The program committee has brought to us alumni, faculty members in our medical school and visitors, to present information on a number of medical and social problems which have an impact upon care for the aged. It has been said that "without controversy, there is no progress". I hope that the discussion this morning will provoke some controversy and much progress in our own thinking for this rapidly growing area of medicine". Dr. Brody concluded. Geriatric medicine is a new area of health care that has not been fully accepted around the world, according to Dr. Robert Dickman, M'68. "It was first developed in Great Britain in 1948; in 1942 the American Geriatric Society was formed in the United States; and in the late 1950' s the ational Ins ti tu le of Aging was formed." The assistant professor of family medicine at Case Western Reserve University Medical School said, "there are many arguments (political and idealogic) against geriatric medicine as a specialty, but old people and their health problems are here to stay. Ten percent or more in this country are 65 and older and these people consume nearly 25 percent of all health care resources. By the year 2,000 they will consume nearly 40 percent of all health care resources. Every day 1,000 new people, age 65. enter the geriatric stream. The fas test growing group in the United States are those 75 and over and they need more health care." Social, Ethical Members of the 1956 class at the Stockton Kimball luncheon - Drs.

The medical director of University Hospital Geriatric Assessment noted that the needs of the elderly are very profound. "Their educational, social and intellectual problems are a constant worry to physicians. But the vast majority of elderly in the United States are happy, healthy, productive, well housed, lead independent lives and are reasonably financially secure. Only about five percent are institutionalized." Dr. Dickman asked several questions: How do we allocate resources? What about informed consent? How do we measure competence of a patient? What about quality of life? Do children always act in the best interest of their parents? What about proxy consent? In this day of economic belt tightening, how do we provide for the elderly? The physician-educator suggested that alternate strategies must be developed by physicians when treating the elderly. "We must look to the non-physician (therapist, nurse, social worker) for help. A better balance of treatment is needed. We can't write them off because of age." Second p/oce exhibit winner - Ors.

Antonucci, Armenia· "Monochromatic Light Ophthalmoscopy." He noted that home care is a massive undertaking, often better, but also very costly. "And when resources are scarce, how do we make decisions. What are our obligations to the elderly?" Dr. Dickman made several other observations: - medical students need a much broader exposure to eriatric medicine; - the ultimate challenge of geriatric medicine is understanding the complexities of the issues on a medical, social and ethical plane; - the patient must be involved in decision making; - don't use chronological age as an indication of quality of life; - arguments of equity and fairness must be considered; - our economic friends will be of little help in making decisions on health care for the elderly; - there are many moral tensions in geriatric medicine that tug at us in many directions; - falling and drug overuse are big problems for the elderly. Dr. Wholey In conclusion Dr. Dickman said, "as our aging population rows, attitudes of our society toward aging will probably change for the better in the years ahead."

Advancements in the technique of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty have led to a growing recognition of its therapeutic potential, according to Dr. Mark H. Whole . "A well defined technique with appropriate guidelines and controls has now been developed as a cardiovascular radiologic procedure with close cardiovascular surgical cooperation. Improved balloon technology and clear cut indications have facilitated selection of patients, increased success rates, and reduced complications." The associate clinical professor of radiology at the University of Pittsburgh medical school outlined the specifications for peripheral, iliac, renal and coronary artery angioplasty and discussed the techniques, advantages and problems of the various approaches. Dr. Wholey is also chairman of the radiology department at Shadyside Hospital, Pittsburgh. The Eugene Sullivan's - father/son. DEPRESSION is the diagnosis most often over-looked or omitted, according to Dr. ichael Lynch, clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at U/B. "This is disasterous and unfortunate for the elderly patient." To prove his point Dr. Lynch discussed a case history of a 77year-old woman, who had spent seven months in a state hospital. "She was hard of hearing and it was assumed she was dimented. The first diagnosis was chronic organic brain syndrome. Her home had been sold, her furniture distributed, and she had no adequate mental status brain examination upon being admitted to the hospital. This was a classic example of a chronically aged patient mistakenly diagnosed as organic. She was really suffering from a psychotic convulsive depression. When she was properly treated (therapy and depressant drugs) she recovered and today is driving her new automobile. Even her sense of humor returned." The physician-educator noted that just a few years ago obesit. was the most over-looked diagnosis, but today it is depression. "Psychiatrists view aging as a process of impairment of physical or mental capacity. This can occur at any age - 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 or 80. Too often this is diagnosed as organic," Dr. Lynch said. 6 THE BUFF ALO PHY !CIA �"All too often the chronologically aged and depres ed per on is regarded as senile or having hardening of the arteries. This is not always true. Diagnosis should be made on positive findings and examination and substantiated by lab tests. A depressed person will never admit it. "A mental status examination is important for the depressed elderly person to find out what is really wrong. This will determine the patient's current mental condition, and enables the physician to establish a base-line of current findings," Dr. Lynch said. A sensorial examination is also important. "This will give us clues into organic impairment. An examiner should ask questions involving memory, orientation, concentration, insight, judgement, etc." The psychiatrist noted that a 70 or BO-year-old depressed person probably would have food stains on their clothing, be slouched, bent, have poor personal hygiene, be verbally underproductive or mute and repeat himself. These traces have nothing to do with organic impairment. He also discussed Kahn's ten questions (place. year, week, month, your age, who is president. etc.) when interviewing patients. Dr. Lynch made several other observations: - aging is often more apparent than real; - depression is more common in the elderly and physicians should be alert to it; - snap diagnosis of senility without adequate examination may doom the patient; - the depressed person should be treated and returned to society; - organic patients do not have a persistent negative quality, but they may ramble and have fewer thoughts; - a careful sensorial examination is imperative; - people who have an organic impairment are often also depressed; - a mental status examination determines whether the patient is depressed or organic; - when an elderly person is un-cooperative or when rehabilitation fails the person is probably depressed; - a person has aged when his physical or mental capacity has been impaired regardless of his chronological age. In conclusion Dr. Lynch said, "look beyond the patient's chronological age and determine whether organicity is actually Dr. Michael Sullivan and colleogue.

Malnutrition Dr. Cerra Hospital based mal-nutrition is a major problem, but it is reversible with proper therapy, according to Dr. Frank Cerra, associate professor of surgery at U/B. "Often the patient is malnurished at home before coming to the hospital. Forty percent of all medical hospital admissions have significant mal-nutrition. Among routine surgical admissions, 25 percent have significant mal-nutrition which makes the morbidity four to eight times greater. Only recently has hospital based mal-nutrition been recognized, although it has been with us for a long time." Dr. Cerra said, "Take a complete history of the patient and follow up with a complete physical examination. Studies show that when physicians take time to correct mal-nutrition, morbidity is reduced. Mal-nutrition is reversible with good therapy." The physician-educator suggested the use of the central route of feeding tube with full nutrition support. "The peripheral supportive therapy (IV-therapy, non-central vein cannot correct mal~ nutrition. Don't be lured into this trap. The positive calorie, positive nitrogen balance regiment (20% lipid-amino acid] has not served the test of time to date. In the next few years this may be reliable, but not today." Dr. Cerra noted that Buffalo hospitals are being surveyed regularly for mal-nutrition among patients. He found 28 percent (one in three] were mal-nurished. He described mal-nutrition "as a lean body mass inappropriately low for the age and activity level of the patient." The surgeon said, "You must convince yourself that the malnutrition problem exists. One of the major problems with patients is what criteria should be used in diagnosis." Or. Cerra made several other observations: - mal-nutrition costs millions of dollars to every hospital in terms of complications, life, cost utilization and disability; - one of three patients that are admitted for emergency surgery are mal-nurished; - of the medical male emergency patients admitted, 50 percent have significant mal-nutrition; - criteria are prognostic indicators of infection risks in surgery; B THE BUFF ALO PHYSICIA �- an obese person is often ·mal-nurished because they don't use their fat that is stored for energy. In conclusion Dr. Cerra said, "we have a problem; good therapy exists, and if we use it we can correct mal-nutrition. The results are excellent." Mr. Cliford Whitman said, "The need for community care services for the elderly is highlighted by the expanding number of elderly and by the present design of our health care system." The commissioner of the department of senior services, County of Erie went on to say that the elderly are 11 percent of our population and they take 30 percent of our health care and use nursing homes, hospitals and physicians more and more. By the year 2,030 our elderly population will double in size, with the largest contingent being over 75. "Since 1978 nursing home care for the elderly has increased five times. Home care has expanded too, with many families taking considerable responsibility. But many families today cannot cope with the increased financial and physical burdens of health care for their relatives," Mr. Whitman said. "Is the future model of health care going to be institutional care, community care or a combination of both? Community care is the more balanced type for the aged." He listed several more recent developments in Erie County as - meals on wheels, legal services corporation, 50 nutrition sites, protective service program, health care centers, neighborhood services, transportation system, group screening and nursing homes without walls. "In Erie County we have tried to put all the fragmented services of the elderly into a package - Co-ordinated Care Management Corporation - so the elderly will receive better, more efficient care. This is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation." r. Whitman also noted: - 89 percent of nursing home residents are elderly and twice as likely to need hospital care; - cost of long term care is enormous; Dr. Whitman Community Care Ors. Schullz, Chassin, Jones. WI TER. 1981 9 d- �- we don't have a balanced system of allocating resources; who gets our limited resources; - medical costs have risen 300 percent in the past decade; 900 percent in nursing homes; - in 1979, $17.8 billion was spent on nursing home care of which 56 percent was provided by public funds; and by the year 2,000 this will increase five times; - 64 percent of Erie County's multi-million dollar medicaid budget goes for nursing home care; - many problems of the elderly are more social than medical; - much of our long term health care is high cost institutional care and this is not desirable; - 80 percent of services of aged are provided by their families, which proves that most families are not abandoning their relatives; - in the future there must be more interaction of various health agencies, hospitals, physicians and the community; - financing in this era of 'belt-tightening' is a big problem; - the church, family, friends and volunteers must continue to be effective support system; - the concept of case management and assessment is a part of any good health service system and is the challenge of the future. In conclusion Mr. Whitman said, "We must meet the issues head on and work together as a community jointly and cooperatively so we can improve the over-all system and aid the doctors so there will be better long term care for all ages." J Medicine older people drugs may produce more 'side affect~· than desired affects. Drugs are not magic. They affect, not only the main target, but many different cells and organs." This was the warning of Dr. Evan Calkins, professor of medicine at U/B. "When toxic symptoms show in a patient from the use of one drug, we tend to add another drug to correct the problem, rather than considering whether the first drug has to be given and continued. Drug therapy must be used cautiously in older people." The head of geriatrics at the Veterans Administration Medical Center noted that often we misdiagnose a disease, which in reality is the normal aging process. "The most effective comprehensive care starts with correct diagnosis. The medical advances of the last 50 years have led to the conquest and prevention of life threatening diseases, but we have not been able to eradicate chronic illness which leads to disability, but not death. Multiple diseases in the elderly are a problem, and it is difficult to make the right diagnosis in some cases. Common diseases often look different in 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Gonder Urology Cataract Surgery The Buccaneer Eye Surgeon When dealing with the elderly urologic patient, evaluation and choice of treatment must be guided by throughtful consideration to avoid compromising the quality of life in the remaining years, according to Dr. Maurice Gonder, clinical associate professor of urology. "Radical surgical intervention as well as prophylactic surgery does not serve the best interests of the elderIy in most cases." Dr. Gonder continued, "Indications for urologic surgery in the elderly should be well defined and the type of therapy chosen individualized so as to maintain the optimum quality of life possible for the longest period of time." Among the male population of the ortheastern United States, at age 70 approximately 1 % will die each month. "If several systemic diseases are present, such as arteriosclerotic heart disease and diabetes. the mortality will be higher. These cases tolerate urologic disease and consequent surgery less well," he said. "It is imperative that hematuria and persistant urinary tract infections be evaluated urologically. However, prophylactic surgery for benign disease is seldom indicated. A palliative approach aimed at improving or maintaining the quality of life without unduly shortening it is a proper and compassionate goal," Dr. Gonder concluded. Senescent cataracts are a very common affliction of the elderly, according to Dr. Edward W. Hohensee, clinical assistant professor of ophthamology. "The mere presence of a cataract does not mean that cataract surgery is indicated. The visual disabilit of each individual patient must be determined. Each patient's visual wants and needs must be assessed, before cataract surgery is undertaken. "The newer techniques of small incision, extracapsular surgery (namely phaco-emulsification), and the increasing popularity of intrapocular lenses, have made the management of cataract surgery more controversial," Dr. Hohensee said. He noted that many of the earlier claims for phacoemulsification have not stood the test of lime. 1.0.L. implantation carries risks inherent for the short term and the long term, which increases the potential of poor visual results of surgery. "The primary physician is in a good position to help his patient decide when, and if, his cataract needs to be removed. Because of the many options open lo the patient, i.e. intracapsular vs. extracapsular; and cataract spectacles or contact lens vs. I.O.L.'s, a second opinion is often not only prudent, but also enlightening," Dr. Hohensee concluded. The reader is referred to an editorial "The Buccaneer Eye Surgeon" by George Weinstein in the December 1980 issue of Ophthalmic Surgery (Vol. 11, o. 12, p. 831). "It seemed to start with phaco-emulsification, although it surely had been around a long time before that. Phaco-emulsification, though, did appear to release on the American scene a large number of previously unheard of eye surgeons whose excellent technical skills and business acumen remain untinged by traditional medical ethics. The trend continued with the introduction of intraocular lens implants, and has now been further ex12 THE 8 FF ALO PHYSICIA �tended with radial keratotomy. The phenomenon certainly must be one of the most talked about (and least written about} in the modern ophthalmic era. "What have been the common factors during each of these episodes? Firstly, each has developed around a new technical advance whose merits, while controversial, appear promising. Secondly, the printed and electronic media have been the means for introducing information about the new technique not only to the public at large, but to the medical profession. But the third, and by far the most important ingredient in this fa mi liar formula is the buccaneer eye surgeon who is willing to turn the potentially useful but still unproven surgical procedure into personal profit. one of us is unaware that a large number of such individuals become wealthy, unashamedly advertising their high-priced services to attract that gullible consumer, the patient. "There is nothing evil about phaco-emulsification, intraocular lens implantation or radial keratotomy per se. But those who perform these operations to plunder the public are the shame of ophthalmology. Let us not remain silent about them. Our society has made the task more difficult by tying the hands of medical societies and state licensure boards with "restraint of trade" regulations and legal precedents. But no one not the Federal Trade Commission nor the attorneys who are so readily available to represent all forms of scoundrels, need tell us what we know to be true: The ethics of the medical profession are based on the interests of the patient, not those of the physician. The bucaneer eye surgeons are not our folk heros: They should be exposed to the public for what they are." □ Dr. John W. Pickren, chief of the pathology department at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, received the fifth annual Dr. William H. Wehr Award, Friday, August 14 at the Plaza Suite, in recognition of his distinguished career in cancer research at the Institute. Dr. Pickren joined the Institute staff in 1953 as chief of pathology, and throughout his career he has been studying the metastasis, or spread, of cancer. In addition to his duties at Roswell Park, Dr. Pickren is a clinical professor of pathology at the School of Medicine, and a volunteer clinical professor of oral pathology at the School of Dentistry. Dr. Pickren is a member of many national and international scientific organizations including the American College of Pathologists, the American Society of Clinical Pathologists and the International Society of Cytology. He has authored or collaborated on over 120 scientific publications. The award is named after Dr. William H. Wehr who devoted his entire 37-year medical career to Roswell Park. He was one of the first cancer researchers in the nation to use radium in cancer treatment. □ WI TER, 1981 13 Dr. Hohensee Dr. Pickren �As I Remember Stockton Kimball by Oliver P. Jones, Ph.D., M.D. Distinguished Professor Emeritus When Dr. Michael Sullivan left four telephone numbers of places where I might contact him, I thought he was urgently in need of an anatomical consultation. Instead, Mike told me about the Stockton Kimball Lectureship. I was flabbergasted because I had already received the Stockton Kimball Award and did not realize that a local person would be asked to deliver this prestigious lecture at the Spring Clinical Day luncheon. It just so happened that my recent literary efforts had been focused on Frank Hastings Hamilton, our first dean and professor of surgery. This, I thought, might be a good starting point for a talk leading up to Stockton Kimball. After all, I was his first Assistant Dean and Chairman of the Admissions Committee for eight years and 12 years respectively. At that time, there were no other assistant and associate deans. My narrative begins with Frank Hastings Hamilton, who was indeed a peripatetic surgeon. He taught at nine medical schools and was co-founder of three that are still active. Early in his career, Hamilton developed one of the greatest of all gifts, the faculty of imparting to others what we know ourselves. He maintained that no man can teach what he does not know. Hamilton served as Dean for three years, without pay. Even though deanships were a far cry from the highly organized form of business they have since grown to be, he resigned and was followed by Austin Flint, Sr. Flint served for one year, but what an eventful year it was by being involved in medical and civic affairs. On 18 January 1850, Dr. James Platt White demonstrated the normal delivery of a child before 20 members of the graduating class. This took place in the janitor's quarters of the school at Main and Virginia Streets. At that time, it was morally correct to feel the genital area but immoral to view it. To make a long story short, the University of Buffalo induced the County Attorney to bring criminal libel proceedings against Dr. Horatio . Loomis for a derogatory letter to the editor signed "L", which was purported to have been written by him. The trial lasted five days. The University lost its case. but so much national publicity was given to it that the profession has long since now thoroughly vindicated Dr. White. Dr. Austin Flint Sr. gave excellent coverage for this milestone in medical education under his editorship of the Buffalo Medical Journal. In order to advance this narrative and relieve the pressure on your ischial tuberosities, let us go to 1878. Some may call this a vintage year because the faculty voted to dispense with the office of the dean and, instead, to elect annually a President and Secretary of the faculty. By the way, heretofore, the dean only received an annual expense account of $50 for 50 students; $75 for 75, and $100 for 100 or more. The question is: Did any dean solicit medical applicants after the class reached 99? It is also noteworthy that in 1878, Dr. Charles G. Stockton received his M.D. degree from the University of Buffalo. Six years later he was named Professor of Material Medica and 14 THE BUFF ALO PHYSICIA �Therapeutics at iagara University. Distasteful as it may be to present day alumni, I must tell you that after enjoying many years as a top notch School of Medicine, the University of Buffalo fell to the lowest of the low. In 1883 iagara University was granted a charter to establish a medical school. Two of the three editors of the Buffalo Medical Journal wrote that the new school would conform to standards which they had advocated and that the new college would not be brought into rivalry with other medical schools because there was, in the present vicinity no medical school which could approach the high standards of iagara University. The reference was, of course, to the Buffalo College of Ph sicians and Surgeons and the University of Buffalo. I am not unmindful of the subsequent merger with the University of Buffalo School of Medicine, but that is another story. Suffice it to say, the merger with iagara University did not save U.B. from the scathing criticism by Abraham Flexner in 1910. However, modesty does not prevent me from saying that Flexner had good words about the Anatomy Department, and particularly the Medical Library, which was one of the three best in the United States - the others being Jefferson and Galveston. Or. Stockton remained at iagara University for three years and was then called to the Chair of Theory and Practice of Medicine and Clinical Medicine at his alma mater. Contrary to the local news media, he never served as dean of the School of Medicine. He died in 1931 and Chancellor Samuel P. Capen said: It would be impossible for us to conceive what the University would be were Charles G. Stockton's 43 years of service to be subtracted from it. It would be an entirely different institution, of that we can be sure. I am not thinking now of his conspicuous scientific achievement or of his skill as a clinical instructor. I am not thinking of a reputation which accrued to the Medical School by reason of his association with it. I'm thinking of something less tangible but even more potent. His greatest contribution to the University that he loved and served was, all unconsciously, to print the stamp of his magnificent personality indelibly on it. His courage, dignity and sincerity have, by that mysterious alchemy that governs human relations, entered into our institutional body and molded us somewhat in his image. To the University of Buffalo Dr. Stockton is not and never can be a tradition. He is and will remain a living force, even when his name is no longer commonly recalled. Because he was a great part of us for more than a generation. we are what we are and what we shall become. Dr. Stockton's grandson, born in 1902, was his namesake. (From here on formality will be dropped, and our dean will be referred to as - Stockton.) Young stockton graduated from Hutchinson Central School in 1919. (I believe he attended Park School before that and attributed his miserable handwriting to the fact that he wore mitten to keep his hands warm.)

This teacher was Conant, who later became President of Harvard. He was graduated cum Ioude from U.B. School of Medicine in 1929 and interned at the Buffalo General Hospital. He then joined his grandfather in the practice of internal medicine.After the death of his grandfather, Stockton studied for nine months at Guy's Hospital in London and for 15 months at the Pathological Institute in Freiberg, Germany, under the noted pathologist - Dr. Ludwig Aschoff. In 1932, while attending an educational conference in ice, he met Sylvia Becker, a native of Manchester, En land. They were married in 1936 and later raised three daughters - Carolyn, Margaret and Rosalind. I met Stockton in September 1944 at an Executive Committee meeting. When he was an Associate in Pharmacology, Dean Koch, also Professor of Pharmacology, had an opportunity to assess his talents. Hence, it was only natural that he should select Stockton to be an assistant dean to succeed Dr. Edgar Hummel. Stockton was responsible for the first permanent type of Admissions Committee. It was the recommendation of the Long Range Planning Committee that the number of representatives on the Admissions Committee should be half pre-clinical and half clinical faculty. Mind you, no one of the first committee had had any previous experience in such matters and very little, if any, expertise about the intricacies of interviewing prospective students. Bear in mind in 1945 that the committee was permitted by the government to select only veterans, 4 F's and women. The results were disastrous. Out of a class of 74, 43 percent did not graduate with their class. Of the 49 who did graduate, seven had transferred from other schools. In the 1920 to 1940 period, Dean Ross V. Patterson of Jefferson Medical College, addressed every freshman class and said, "Gentlemen, look to your left and then to the right. One of you will not be here next year." Some wags have inputed this lo U.B. But we did not have to do this, and, as a proprietary school we could not afford to do so. When Dean Koch died in 1946, Stockton succeeded him as our 18th dean and I was appointed Assistant Dean and Chairman of the Admissions Committee. As I mentioned earlier, at that time 1 - ... 16 THE B FFALO PHYSICIA �9 Classes Give $41,200 to the Medical School Drs. Herb Pirson, Harald Levy Drs. Carlo Desantis, Harold Brody Drs.

During the next the Admissions Committee brought the attrition rate down below the national average. This was achieved not by watering down our courses, but by improving the admissions technique after studying carefully the cause of each failure. In the analysis of the freshman medical failures, we grouped them into five categories: (1) poor scholarship; (2) financial difficulty; (3) family problems; (4) personal reasons including emotional instability and loss of motivation and (5) language difficulty. Then we analyzed the reasons for the acceptance of the failures to the School of edicine. For example, we studied them under the headings of (1) general record; (2) academic record; (3) recommendations; (4) interviews; (5) medical faculty parent, and (6) assigned by armed forces. In spite of the fact that we were no longer assigned medical students by the armed forces and that we no longer admitted sons and daughters of the medical faculty who were not qualified, we still had a group of acceptable students whose general record was adequate throughout or whose letters of recommendation were more than just satisfactory, but who failed for some unknown reason. I am a little ahead of my story, so let us return to 9 February 1946, when Stockton came to the dissecting room with tears in his eyes. Dean Koch had died and I was asked to represent the University at his funeral in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. I accompanied Mrs. Rose Koch, her sister and the body, until the late dean and the professor of anatomy became separated in the switching yards at Cincinnati. After a delay, we continued to Lawrenceburg. Which reminds me that there had been a viewing in Buffalo at Brady's Funeral Home. In 1946, Stockton sent me to Louisville for a meeting of premedical advisors and chairmen of Admissions Committees. It was there that I met Dr. Hardy Kemp, dubbed the traveling dean, because he had served at Vermont, Ohio State, and Wayne edical Schools. He enunciated a law, clearly and proudly, namely: 12 years, An applicant's acceptability is inversely proportional to the amount of pressure brought to bear on the Admissions Committee. Continuing Education Seminar February 10-17, 1982 Hotel Akumal Caribe (Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico) $757 U.S. - Meals Extra Prices includes air, hotel, round trip transfers, welcome and departure cocktail parties. ot included in the price - 10% service charge and room tax ($8.80 per day). Fly United Airlines from Buffalo to Chicago to Cancun. U/B Alumni Association (716) 831-3557 After a trial and error period, I finally embraced Kemp's law and practiced it - with success. On one occasion, when Stockton was out of town, Sylvia received an air mail parcel labeled "Keep Refrigerated", etc. After Stockton returned he discovered it was from an applicant in Colorado. The contents of the box were several trout. He came to my house, gave me half and said that I should share in this responsibility. It was of course too late to return them. I ate the trout and rejected the applicant. On another occasion, he received a check for $1,000 and a case of Scotch, which we dutifully returned - even in the lean years as a private university. y assistant deanship was not without some occupational hazards. In those days, it was my duty to sign all letters of rejection for the Admissions Committee and letters notifying students that they were denied the opportunity to advance in their pursuit of a career in medicine. In ordinary parlance, they had flunked. One 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �such student did not get through anatomy. After a tour of duty in the armed forces, he returned to U.B., repeated the first year and failed again. After receiving my letter, he called all members of the Executive Committee in the middle of the night. He called Sylvia so frequently that she finally left the phone off the hook. He threatened to knock my teeth through the pharynx and beyond, and to run over my children in the street. Katie, my late wife, locked herself in a room with our children while I called the police. One officer, faking my voice, answered the phone at my house and made an appointment to meet the student at a certain street corner. He was apprehended and taken into custody. By the way, he had thrown beer bottles and bricks through the windows of the Registrar's and Dean's office at 24 High Street. Chancellor Capen, Stockton and the University lawyer said it was up to me to press charges. Shall we say, the student was disciplined. Apparently, some students want to be rejected, if they are going to be rejected at all, by the top man and not his subordinate. I had several other close encounters which did not involve Stockton. Stockton severed the "Gordion Knot", so to speak, at an early date in his deanship. Some rejected medical applicants had been accepted by the School of Dentistry. At that time, the first two years of medicine and dentistry were identical. At the completion of the first year, some of these dental students would apply for admission to the medical school's second year class and were accepted. Stockton and I soon noticed that all transfer applicants from St. Bonaventure failed in the second year. Therefore, we stopped this practice because first, it increased our attrition rate. Secondly, it was not fair for the Dental Admissions Committee to spend their time and energy trying to select a good class only to have them fly-the-coop, so to speak. Stockton maintained that if dental students wanted a medical degree, they had to obtain their D.D.S. first and then enter the third year of medicine. Therefore, we decided to reject all applicants from St. Bonaventure. The result was we were asked to inspect that university's facilities. Stockton drove Dr. Francis Kenny, Father Sekelsky and myself to Olean. We spent the day examining laboratories and questioning the science faculty. We were wined and dined and then made our recommendations. On the way home, Dr. Kenny and I had a thrilling experience, for we did not know that Stockton had such a heavy right foot. Some years later, a couple of St. Bonaventure students were accepted and they performed well in medical school and others have continued to do so. Drs. John Pryzlucki, Louis Antonucci. The odd thing about this period of time, students from Canisius were out-performing those from U.B. We considered it complacency on the part of our students, for once they were accepted, they just coasted along. And, it may come as a shocker for some of you to know that our dental students bested the medical students on identical gross anatomy practical examinations. Some of you are very likely wondering why so much time has been spent on the Admissions Committee. Many years ago, I addressed several alumni groups - even on the west coast. The thrust of my remark was: WINTER, 1981 19 d- �The healthy complexion, composition and success or failure of the alumni association, as well as the School of Medicine itself, is determined by the standards adopted and adhered to by the Committee on Admissions. Some physicians believe - perhaps rightly so - that they learned more from their classmates, through association and the stimulating effects of keen mental competition, than they did from their professors. Indeed, some deans consider the task of selecting medical students much more important than the selection of a medical faculty. Drs. John Pryi.lucki, Patrick Kelly. After Stockton became dean, he inaugurated a long overdue practice, namely, that of having members of the freshman class meet members of the faculty at his home on Cleveland Avenue and subsequently at his place on Cayuga Road. This social occaion was held on Sunday afternoon preceding the first day of school. Our first two deans - Hamilton and Flint - held levees for the graduating class in the evening. According to a medical student's diary (1848-1849), Hamilton served sherry. Stockton later modified his program so as to include an orientation program on Saturdays. Mrs. Kimball reminded me that Stockton insisted, because of the freshmen present and his young daughters that only a very good non-alcoholic punch be served. She also told me that she and the three daughters prepared about 3,000 cookies of different varieties. Maybe this was Stockton's reaction to his experience as an entering student to the school in 1925. He had to pay the first installment of the $325 tuition by Saturday before classes began. On Monday morning, at 9 o'clock sharp, he went to a pre-assigned seat in Alumni Hall, probably the fourth row for the "g's" to "k's". He then listened to Dr. R.R. Humphrey, who introduced himself, wrote his name on the blackboard, and then lectured about the cell, mitosis, fertilization, etc. as the introduction to histolo y and embryology. At the end of the hour, Stockton then carried his own microscope (a requirement in those days) to the third floor of 24 High Street, and after a brief lecture about optical physics began the laboratory work in microscopic anatomy. At that time, tockton did not realize that the reason for selecting 77 freshmen was restricted by the seating capacity of that laboratory. It was indeed an informal experience. Before Stockton became dean, it was customary for the Department of Anatomy to hold a Christmas party for the entire staff, including the cleaning women. Of course, free-loaders came from the Department of Pathology, Dental School and the aintenance Department. Punch was served which eventually was dubbed - Anatomy punch - without formaldehyde. (Formula kindly furnished upon request.) After Stockton became dean, he asked Anne Deeley, Registrar, to have me mix that punch for his Christmas party. Two punch bowls were required, one for the dean's office where faculty were received and one for the registrar's office, where all of the other personnel were entertained. He came to me and said that there was too much whiskey in the punch. I replied that there was no whiske in it. He said, " o 20 THE B FF ALO PHY !CIA �whiskey?" I reiterated, " o whiskey". He did not ask me about the brandy. Anne Deeley heard about this and threatened to shoot me if I put any water in it. Stockton and I went to several medical education meetings and usually had separate accommodations. On one occasion we had to share a double bed in Albany. I did not know that he was subject to bruxism. Hence, at night he would grind his teeth and then turn over in bed with all the coverings, leaving me chilled sufficiently to awaken and retrieve them. I did not check with Sylvia about this. On the more serious side Stockton was instrumental in promoting the school's policy of full time heads for the clinical departments. The Psychiatry Department was set up on this basis during his administration. Departments of Legal Medicine and Anesthesia were added to the faculty. He was deeply interested in the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education, organized to support the basic science departments, and served as a member of its Executive Committee. Because he was so highly esteemed in the field of medical education, he was invited by the International Cooperative Association to survey the medical school of the University of Paraguay and make recommendations for its improvement. Many of our faculty could not comprehend why he was so selected. Of course, they did not know that Stockton had spent two months in 1943 studying malaria and other tropical diseases at the Army Medical School at Walter Reed Hospital. After that he went on a six week expedition to Costa Rica and Guatemala to investigate these diseases. This study was sponsored by the Markle Foundation. Hence, he was familiar with some of the problems in Paraguay. As a result of his survey, the University received a contract under which members of its faculty taught in Paraguay and Paraguay sent representatives to Buffalo for observation and study. A big chunk of our combined energies from 1946 to 1953 were expended on the planning of the new medical school building on the Main Street campus, the former Capen Hall now Farber Hall. We went through ten proposed plans. If some of you are wondering who was responsible for such a decision, all you have to do is focus your attention on me - because I was chairman of the committee for the new building of the Long Range Planning Committee. The faculty voted to accept the committee's recommendation. Subsequent hassles were nothing compared to that one. Stockton appointed me liaison officer between the chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee, Treasurer and architect. Women's Auxiliary Gift The Women's Auxiliary of the Erie County edical Association has given the Medical School $9,170.36 to support educational experiences of medical students. This gift comes from the AMA's Education and Research Foundation for medical education. The unrestricted funds granted by AMA-ERF each year represent gifts from individual physicians, members of the AMA Auxiliary and others in the state and nation. □ Stockton and I got along well until I just could not keep up with one of his idiosyncracies. (At some future occasion when I am studying celestial anatomy, my former students will have a field day with mine.) He seldom forewarned me when he would be out of town or out of the country. Therefore, after eight years as Assistant Dean I resigned but retained the chairmanship of the Admissions Committee. He had a successful administration because of his connection with the Association of American Medical Colleges as treasurer and member of the Executive Committee. The School of Medicine WINTER, 1981 21 d- �in particular and the University in general profited by his appointment to the Accreditation Committee of the A.A.M.C. Stockton visited and inspected, with a team that also included representatives from the A.M.A., a dozen or so medical schools. Upon his return he related to the various department heads, how they might improve their teaching and the conduct of departmental affairs. (We did not have chairmen in those days). But today, some chairmen emulate heads. He therefore was privy to information that the accreditation of our medical school was pulling out of the lowest 25 percent and approaching the 50 percentile in the ranking of other medical schools. Some of you may have heard me say that we were a successful team because he was a forward looking dean and I a backward looking assistant dean. We worked for the good of the order. We did not always agree about pedagological matters. For example, there is no doubt that the jump from college to medical school is a great one and that necessary readjustments must be made. There is no question of the efficacy of a carefull designed counseling program, but there is danger in an amateur form of guidance and counseling conducted by persons who, even though they be physicians, have not been adequately trained for it. This perhaps is a sign of the period in which we live, for there is a tendency to assume that proficiency in one field presupposes some authority in another. However, those who are eventually to become physicians and leaders in the community have to get to think independently. We also disagreed about the role of the teacher. In those days, 35 years ago, I did not know that our first dean - Frank Hastings Hamilton - said," o man can teach what he does not know." Nor did I know about an ancient Chinese saying. "You can not buy a teacher." The following is an excerpt from a letter I wrote to Stockton about a year before he died: Third place exhibit winners - Ors. Boehmke, Portin, Teitler: "Flexible F,beroptic Sigmoidoscopy." I have maintained for a long time that the most important molding influence upon the student is the teacher, not only because of his scholarship and knowledge, his dedication and approach to the subject, but because of his philosophy of life, his intellectual processes and even his own life, he serves as a model for the student. Unfortunately, there are some who will never be good teachers regardless of the courses that they may take. Good teachers must have or develop, a certain sensitivity that gives them the "feel of the class" so to speak. But the teacher cannot be expected to "make a silk purse out of a saw's ear". The student should also have a medical school environment which will enable him to demonstrate or develop initiative, independence and resourcefulness after he has had the basic medical sciences - and even while he is taking them - should the opportunity present itself. I have also maintained that there is a proper place for healthy degrees of tension, anxiety and even frustration, otherwise students would not work hard enough to bring out the best in themselves and to get to the bottom of dif22 THE BUFFALO PHY ICIA �ficult and challenging situations. Optimum and maximum mental efficiency are not demonstrated nor developed in the absence of emotional tension. The big questions are how much should there be and what is the best way to produce it? Obviously, it should not be produced to the extent that some students may prefer to transfer to another medical school at the end of the second year rather than to face certain clinicians in the third and fourth years. To the contrary one of the best ways to produce the required amount of anxiety and tension is for a student to have a teacher who is well prepared and who knows his subject thoroughly, insist that the student be orderly, accurate, clear and concise when describing his observations. One who expects a student to develop and refine his powers of observations in all sensory modalities. In other words, we need good and experienced teachers which is a far cry from those educated by educators. Students soon learn to appreciate and respect scholarship in their teachers and increase their own tension as a result of an unconscious identification - using the teacher as a model. A certain degree of tension and anxiety helps the student organize and integrate his material and even enhances his own motivation. This should be the goal of examinations. Also, the right manner of responsibility at the right time may elicit enough anxiety or frustration to uncover hidden talents in the student. Just before leaving for Chicago to attend meetings on Medical Education and Licensure, I heard that Stockton was sick. I went to his Cayuga Road home and was met at the door by a houseguest. She informed me that the family was at the Buffalo General Hospital. I could no longer assist him. He died 7 February 1958, age 55, of staphylococcic septicemia. The Association of American Medical Colleges sensed a tremendous loss and wrote: As an educator, Dr. Kimball made significant contributions to the entire field of medical education and practices. Under his leadership as dean, the University of Buffalo, School of Medicine rapidly developed its education and research activities and participated actively in experiments of national significance in medical education ...

It is a cause of sorrow in the whole Buffalo community and the world of medicine which he has served in a most outstanding manner for more than 25 years. He was truly a great man, whose memory will always be most highly revered by his multitude of friends and colleagues. You have now heard two eulogies delivered by two former Chancellors of the University of Buffalo-one for the grandfather and the other for the grandson. It seems ever more fitting that the Alumni Association perpetuate the memory of Stockton Kimball WI TER, 1981 23 d- �by arranging this Annual Stockton Kimball Lectureship. But, we could not have had the second without the first and, indeed, great grandfather Stockton was also a physician. After Stockton's death, I remained in contact with his family by way of our daughters. For example, his daughter Rosalind and my daughter Carolyn traveled by Eurailpass for three months in 1963 throughout Europe. They finall reached Copenhagen, where Dr. and rs. Harold Brody were on sabbatical leave. The Brodys put the girls up while they frantically knitted sweaters in order to travel beyond the Arctic Circle. As a teacher I cannot resist taking advantage of a captive audience to give you something to ponder. You have been very patient for about an hour. ow, do you realize that during that time, all of you - myself included - lost cells from the cerebral cortex at the rate of 4,167 per hour? This has been going on within all of us since birth. However, you may be consoled, because at the ame time, you will have regenerated erythrocytes (RBC) at the rate of ten billion or 10xl0 9 per hour to replenish the ones that were destroyed. Think about it! It has been an honor and pleasure to deliver this year's Stockton Kimball lecture. Thank you for your kind attention. □ Dr. Dr. Mecklin honors Bennie Mecklin, M'35, received two recently. The citizens of Depauville, .Y. paid tribute to him in August upon his retirement, and in September the Academy of Family Physicians honored him at their annual meeting in Las Vegas. After serving a year's internship at the Buffalo Deaconess Hospital, he opened his practice in Depauville June 29, 1936. From May 12, 1941, to October 15, 1945, he was a First Lieutenant in the Medical Corps. Except for this Army service and a year of post graduate study at Mt. Sinai Hospital, ew York City, Dr. Mecklin has devoted his 46-year career to the practice of family medicine in Jefferson County. Dr. Mecklin was named a charter diplomate of the American Board of Family Practice in August 1971 and a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians in October 1972. A past president of the Medical Society of Jefferson County, he has been president of the medical staffs of both Mercy Hospital and the House of the Good Samaritan. In 1961 he was elected president of the General Practitioners of Jefferson County. He is a former member of the Flower Library Board of Trustees and had served part time as an assistant clinical professor of medicine in family practice at the Upstate Medical Center medical school, Syracuse. An active member of Degel Israel Synagogue, he has served as a trustee of the synagogue and was one of the original group who helped build the present synagogue . He has served as president of the local B'nai B'rith, chairman of the United Jewish Appeal and was the recipient of the ational State of Israel Solidarity Award in 1978. Discussing the changes in the medical profession during his career with a Watertown Times writer, Dr. Mecklin said he "deplores" the increase in governmental influence in private practice. He "applauds" the initial purpose of Medicaid, providing medicine for those who never saw a doctor and improved care for children and senior citizens. "Unfortunately," he said, "lime has not been kind to the ideology and there are many abuses, foremost among them the limiting of care and drugs thus making Medicaid clients second class patients." Citing the amount of paperwork, he said he feels "all the good these programs do is often negated by the burden of this paper work. urses spend so much time writing and filling out forms that there is not enough time for good nursing care. Doctors are forced to record and re-record voluminous reports to appease hospital accreditation boards. Patients, especially senior citizens, are confused by all the forms and of ten lose touch with what they are or are not entitled to," he said. Dr. and rs. Mecklin are now living in Lake Worth, Florida 33463.D �Dr. Saxon Graham is the ,new chairman of the department of social and preventive medicine. He succeeds Dr. Glen Gresham, who has been acting chairman the last two years. Dr. Gresham will continue as chairman of rehabilitation medicine. Dr. Graham has been on the faculty since 1956 as director of the doctoral program in medical sociology. The prominent epidemiologist is internationally known for his research on the protective effects certain nutrients appear to have against some cancers. The clinical professor of medical sociology has a $2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute. He has authored or coauthored more than 100 articles for professional journals. He has been a special consultant to the World Health Organization and has been active in many other national and international professional societies. Dr. Graham received his AB from Amherst College in 1943; his AM and Ph.D. from Yale University in 1949 and 1951. He also did post graduate work at the University of California, Berkeley. Before coming to Buffalo he was on the faculties at Chatham College, Pennsylvania State University and the University of Pittsburgh. He was also a cancer research scientist at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. Dr. Graham is currently a member of the American Cancer Society's division of cancer control and epidemiology and chairman of the advisory committee on study of long-term effects of plutonium for Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. □ $178,699Grant Fifteen basic science faculty members will share a $178,699 Biomedical Research Support Grant from the Division of Research Resources, National Institutes of Health.

Vascular Physiology, Disease Symposium Fifteen visiting faculty members from prestigious medical schools from coast to coast participated in a Vascular Physiology and Disease symposium at the Buffalo Hilton. Dr. Stephen Mellander, a renowned vascular physiologist from the University of Lund, Sweden organized the three-day meeting. Participatin with the visiting professor of physiology at U/B were seven other Medical School faculty members, including Dean John aughton. The symposium promoted the exchange of ideas between internationally prominent research scientists and practicing physicians interested in vascular disorders. The program participants talked about basic and applied problems concerned with the function and control of the peripheral circulation in health and disease. There were three basic themes - vascular regulatory mechanisms and dysfunctions, capillary oxygen exchange and mechanisms for new vessel development. The symposium attracted not only physiologists, but also clinical pharmacologists, pathologi ts, cardiologists, internists and surgeons. In addition to the four general discussion sessions there was one banquet address by Dr. Loring B. Rowell, professor of physiology and medicine at the University of Washington, Seattle.

In the fall of 1976 Dr. Klocke was among seven United States heart specialists to visit the U.S.S.R. The team of cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons presented research and clinical findings in a joint symposium. They visited Moscow, Leningrad and Irtrusk, Siberia. □ WINTER, 1981 29 Dr. Lof'orge, Deon Naughton Naughton, Deon Rosenthal Dr. �On the Great Wall. A Scientist Visits China by D.A. Pragay, M.D. Clinical Associate Professor of Biochemistry Recently China introduced a general policy of modernization. The symbolic "four leaps forward" means advancement on the industrial, military, agricultural and scientific fields in order to catch up with the West. This program of modernization might give an impression of certain backwardness in China on the technical field. In order to avoid misunderstanding, one has to clarify, however, that technical knowledge is just part of what we call culture and civilization and we have to understand that the Chinese culture is one of the oldest on Earth and one of the most inventive compared to any other culture. The basic milestones of the cultural development of mankind are the invention of writing, of the wheel and of the arch (and possibly the building of large ships) by the human genius. All these milestones were invented in China and in the MesopotamianEuropean culture. Beyond these factors, for the archeologist and the historian there are several "markers" to characterize human cultural development: written documents, pottery, textiles, buildings. Many of the materials for these "markers" were invented in China. This becomes self-evident if we will consider a few illustrative examples. It is interesting in itself to observe these two great cultures: the Western European and the Chinese as they progressed or fell back throughout the centuries. The Greco-Roman culture probably matched the Chinese culture but it fell back after the Fall of Rome. At that time Western Europe was a field of smokin ruins where a few cloisters tried to keep the flame of culture alive and preserve what little was left. This probably characterized Western Europe from 500 AD to about 1200 AO (during the Medieval Age). During this same time the Chinese culture progressed and invented many things and contributed greatly to the culture and progress of the whole mankind. After 1200 AD Western Europe suddenly began to develop a new virulent culture based on the ever present Greco-Roman heritage with initiativeness, a curious intensive ense of practicality, daring and innovations never heard before. This activity created a culture and progressed to heights never seen before, while the Chinese, especially in certain areas like science. fell back. It is difficult to write in detail about these tremendously important issues in a few sentences but a few illustrative examples will be able to characterize the progressive Chinese culture during the edieval Age and subsequently I will present impressions of the present situation. Looking at different markers of culture let us consider a few. Paper was invented in China by Tsai Lun in 105 AD (previous to this, China used bamboo strips and later silk, while European culture used clay, papyrus, wax, animal skins to write on and preserve records). Paper was imported by Japan about 600 AD; the invention of paper spread to the Arabs about 750 AD and reached Europe in 1150 AD. Block Printing (of whole page) was invented in China around 700 AD. Later, movable printing was invented by Pi Sheng in 1040 (400 years before Gutenberg). This invention could not "take root" 30 THE BUFF ALO PHYSICIA �, \ because of the problems connected with the enormous number of Chinese ideograms (several thousands). So the Chinese never invented printing machines or typewriters (but developed writing into a beautiful art of calligraphy). In Europe, totally independently, the movable printing was invented in 1440 by Gutenberg and became an instant success and later led (XIX century) to the invention of large printing machines and the typewriter. Thanks to the block printing however, novels, detective storie and a publication which could be called a newspaper were block printed in China since 700-800 AD (the time of the Arab invasion and of Charlemagne in Europe). A large encyclopedia was printed in China in 1368 (the time of the Hundred Year War in Europe). Porcelain was invented in China around 700 AD (the time of Tang dynasty) and refined in 800 AD and later, especially in the time of the Ming dynasty (after 1400 AD). (Valuable Ming dynasty porcelain was found recently by scuba divers in the sunken Spanish galleons in the Caribbean Sea: Atosha, Tolosa, etc. These porcelain dishes and cups were still usable after centuries of being exposed to seawater.) Independently from China, porcelain was invented in Western Europe in 1710 (by Bottger in Meissen). Silk was used in China as a textile material since 2600 BC. It was unknown to Europe until 550 AD when two Byzantian monks smuggled out of China silk worm eggs and mulberr tree seeds. Since 600 AD silk became known in the Byzantine Empire, spread to the Arabs, Spain, Venice and the rest of Europe. Bonsai trees were "invented" in China around 1000 AD from where it went to Japan in 1200 AD but reached Europe only fairly recently. Tea was known in China for at least 3000 years. Herbal medicine is used world wide but in China it reached levels rarely attained anywhere else and it is still in use. A wealth of information in this field is still waiting to be explored by the s stematic Western science. Gunpowder was also invented in China around 800 AD but it was used in fire crackers only. The invention reached Europe around 1300 AD and gained immediate use in cannons. The Great Wall was begun by the Chinese about 200-300 BC. The total length was reached in the time of Ming dynasty (13681644 ADJ and was about 1500 miles. {The arch was invented about 100 BC in China and was incorporated into the Wall.) It became known that this is the only man-made object which can be seen from Space. (Other people also built walls throughout history but only one became really infamous: the Berlin Wall built on Russia's orders. aybe nothing is accidental.) Contrary to other beliefs, the compass and clock are not Chinese but Western inventions. During our visit we saw a Chinese clock which has elaborate water-£ alls, but no mechanical parts. The Chinese additionally made contributions of incalculable value in architecture, sculpture, art, jewelry, etc. In continuation I will describe my impressions during this trip - different aspects of the present day life of the Chinese the way it looks to a Western visitor. As mentioned earlier, the Chinese Government embarked on a new policy and invites more and more scientists who are inWINTER, 1981 31 Community Hospital in Harbin. New Construction. d- �valved in different fields and their names known in certain areas of activity. Some preference (because of language) is given to scientists of Chinese origin. The trip I participated in basically consisted of seven scientists of which four were of oriental extraction (two of them served only as interpreters). Our invitation came from the Heal th Ministry of Heilung Kiang Province and of Tianjin (Tientsin] to Dr. Djang, Professor of Pathology, who organized the group. We visited and lectured in five different cities of China during three weeks of stay ( anchang, approx. 500,000 inhabitants, Hanzhou {Hangchow], approx. 400,000 Tianjin (Tientsin), 7 million, Harbin, 2.5 million, Beijing (Peking), 8 million). The trip was done on trains (about 2300 km) and on airplanes (4000 km] and lasted for 22 days. General impressions about life concerning clothing, food, housing, political life, culture and science follow. CLOTHI Part of the Forbidden (Peking). City in Beijing G In different places one can see on exhibit wonderful varieties of silk dresses of past emperors, empresses, mandarins during a time when millions of people in old China were dressed in rags. Mao's revolution brought uniformity: everybody is dressed in a simple blue (sometimes khaki) uniform made of good solid material (wool or cotton]; no exception made even to the highest ranking officials. I did not see people poorly dressed wherever I went. Even the hat was uniform and simple. Men and women alike wore slacks. Larger cities show some Western influence which can be observed in Western type and more colorful dresses, sometimes even jewelry. This change is restricted to large cities and even there it is quite a slow process. Children wear school uniforms; small children wear colorful dresses. o obvious sign of rank could be seen on members of the Armed Forces. To the Western eye, shoes were unusually simple (slipper like) but ever one wore them. TRA SPORT A TIO There are a few personal cars and those are for official use and for dignitaries, not for private use. (Communists claim that theirs is a classless society, but one can see differences in housing or in transportation. Mr. Anybody does not have a chance to use a car, only bicycles]. There seems to be enough gasoline. China is self sufficient (I learned there that China has begun to even export oil to the U.S.A.). The makes of cars are usually Russian or Japanese and a few Chinese ("Red Flag"). There were many trucks, Russian, Czech, Hungarian and Japanese made, and buses were mainly of Chinese manufacture. The Chinese manufactured trucks were similar to original Russian, Czech and Hungarian design, and the same is true of airplanes, such as the Tupolev type made in China. Chinese-made trains run frequently and on time. On trains there are two classes: regular (for Mr. Anybody) and first class for officials, dignitaries and foreigners. Long distance trains have separate small compartments with two double births for first class passengers and regular class have large compartments with three level births sufficient to accommodate 30-35 persons. (I can interject here that foreign visitors always have to pay more for transportation and services than the Chinese do. Foreigners in China have to use a special type of money which is totally different from the one the Chinese themselves use.) 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �On the roads there are a lot of bicycles (Chinese made). During rush hour a "river of people" is moving in the streets. (One can realize sometimes what one billion people could mean.) The traffic on an average street is slow. A lot of people walk, sometimes carrying loads or pulling twowheeled carriages loaded with bulk material. Many times people have a wooden yoke on their shoulders with two baskets at each end carrying loads in them. Sometimes one can see two-wheeled carriages pulled by one or two small Mongolian horses or by tractor motors. Sheep can be seen on the roads of large cities. Public highways are not good. In the cities you have very large tree lined wide avenues of 4-6 lanes where the extreme right or left la·nes are for bicycles who almost never keep to their lanes! Traffic in cities is a nightmare. Traffic lights are not always observed. Often the shoulders of the roads are very muddy; on a completely clear day we saw a truck stuck in the mud, while on the paved road there was continual heavy traffic. HOUSI G Characteristic small houses are on the countryside and larger buildings for communes. Intensive building activity can be seen in the countryside and we also observed intensive building activity in cities, especially in Beijing (Peking) where large apartment buildings are being built. These new apartment buildings are unlike any other Chinese city buildings built in the past. In those cities where there were European concessions before the war, there were large European style buildings (cities on Shandong peninsula and in Shanghai, plus Tientsin). Houses usually were surrounded by tall brick walls as fences (both in cities and in the countryside). In Tientsin the after-effects of the 1976 earthquake are very much evident. Many people live in makeshift little brick houses built on the two sides of large avenues along brick wall fences. A few years ago China did not want to accept any foreign aid. (In 1981 she did.) One quite unusual fact caught our attention all the time: in many large cities in the middle of the very wide avenues, people were drying valuable seeds of millet and barley. obody seemed to attend those valuable food items but we were told they are never stolen. Similarly, valuable building material could be seen stored on the side of roads - unattended - never stolen. GE ERAL ASPECTS OF LIFE In general, wherever I went people were friendly and very polite, under the circumstances well dressed and well fed. I did not see beggars which were probably commonplace in old China. Children were well fed, well dressed and well disciplined (probably sometimes too well?) Many people of the old generation (60-80) speak English quite well. There is a generation (30-50) which does not know anything about the West, let alone Western languages. The young generation, students of the universities are extremely eager to learn Western languages or learn about technical advancement in the West. The Polaroid camera was a traffic stopper. (They also listened very eagerly to our lectures!) In large cities the Chinese television has a special channel which teaches English, Mathematics and Mechanics practically every day. China also has an organizaWI TER, 1981 33 Acupuncture neck. used for surgery on the Harbin Medical School. d- �eed (barley and millet) drying in the middle of a paved street. tion similar to the Peace Corps and oung people by the thousands volunteer to work abroad, mostly in African countries. People are extremely honest, tipping is almost an offense. They go out of their way to find you if you lost something. Accepting a gift of any value, especially from a foreigner is always a problem. One can observe bureaucrac but probably no corruption. In general there was an outgoing, very warm reception for Americans and people spontaneously stress the friendship with the U.S.A., but I observed everywhere the expression of certain enmity toward anything Russian. Large billboards on the streets literally advertised American goods and also proclaimed friendship with the U.S. or announced the establishment of direct airline connecting Beijing (Peking) with ew York. The political atmosphere in the country is freer than in the oviet Union or its satellites and is comparable to the atmosphere in Yugoslavia. Such comparison is difficult however, because there are striking differences. For example: one ha to show good work records so that one can get accepted on an official list in order to buy a bicycle, while there is no such problem in Yugoslavia or Hungary. Also, one needs special permission to go from one city to another. This regulation is also practiced in the USSR but not in Yugoslavia, Poland or Hungary. Compared to the China of the past, Chinese are more self-confident, better fed, better clothed, with higher standards of morality. Still, there are a lot of problems in the country. In general, for man of the still existing problems, the former so-called Cultural Revolution serves as scapegoat. SCIE CE We visisted five different hospitals. We listened to discussions with scientists, visited medical schools and attended operations carried out with acupuncture. The general impression was that preventive medicine is stressed and although it does not seem that there are enough beds in hospitals for extended care, families and relati es help with this. The family is a tightly knit group, traditionall strong and families are trained to off er home care for patients who would otherwise need extended care in hospitals. The statistics show that TB and VO occurrence is way down in the general population, and there is no drug problem. All these are in contrast to old China. The surgery and internal medicine services we saw seemed to be quite adequate or good. Although I can't judge too well the performance of internal medicine, the statistics are convincing. Traditional herbal medicine seems to be quite effective. Surgery service seems to be very good. The surgery we observed with the help of acupuncture was excellently performed: one was a tumor surgery on the breast, the other one a tumor excision from the thyroid. Four needles were used for thyroid surgery and about 10 on the breast surgery. A pulsating weak electric current wa applied to the needles. The patients were conscious during the entire time of the operation. It was astonishing that while surger and medical ervices were so good, the laboratory services were way behind. We did not see blood gas machines, and in the five hospital laboratories we 34 THE B FF ALO PHYSICIA �saw only one flame photometer for Na and K. The number of tests done in chemistry was small (10-15) and methods were very old, quite unknown presently in the West (idometric titration for urea, hydoxy quinoline method for Mg). All laboratories lacked instruments - everything was done manually - quality control is not done. China recently began to manufacture chemicals (inorganic, some organic) but the purity is not specified on the labels. They do their own radioactive labelling of some organic molecules but the workers in the isotope laboratory do not wear films or badges. The few instruments we saw were Chinese made; theEe were very few imports. Hematology and Microbiology laboratories using traditional methods were more appropriately performing, but using very old methods for some tests (e.g. Salili hemoglobinometer). The physician's and nurse's education appeared well organized. In medical schools research is encouraged but funds are missing. There were few journals available for publications. Among the journals only two were organized in such a way to be able to publish in the English language. Chemical chemists and clinical pathologists as such do not exist. A regular laboratory technician's education does not exist. The existing training is haphazard, random and consists of on-the-job training of high school graduates. I was told that the level of high school education is lower than in the West. Libraries of the hospitals and medical schools in general were poor. There were a few books which were written in the West (and those older publications) and even fewer Western journals were available. Everywhere one could see that in the field of science the bi gest road blocks are the language barrier and the lack of funds. These are the obstacles of the "leap forward" to the field of medicine and laboratory medicine. An illu tration of the language difficulties: I saw a Chinese typewriter the size of a writing desk, with 2500 individual Chinese ideograms made of a metal alloy, which must be moved into place manuall with the use of a small device; a skilled typist who has memorized the position of the 2500 characters may generate half a page of Chinese writing in 20 to 30 minutes. The Chinese claim they continue their efforts to reform their writing but one could see the enormous problems connected with this. A somewhat lesser problem is the numerical system where the Western type arabic numerals are slowly adopted instead of the cumbersome old Chinese way of writing the numbers. Summarizing all these, one could say that the Chinese have to overcome enormous mass of difficulties in their effort for modernization in order to bridge the technical scientific gap which exists with the West. Among these difficulties the key points are: books, training, possible reforms of writing, counting, technical education, and language barrier. All these need outside help, trainin and above all, money. One should not forget however, that we talk about the technical development which could be conceived part of the culture. But Chinese culture is more than 5000 years old, productive and rich. At times it created and preceded the West by centuries by inventing printing, porcelain, silk, etc. They had overcome even more difficult times and the probability exists that they will overcome the present difficulties also. □ WI TER, 1981 35 Bicycles during "rush hour". �Facing Hodgkin'sDisease at 24 and After by Tom Raab, M'77 Clinical Instructor /Medicine Dr Raab I have Hodgkin's Disease. I've known since October, 1975. I had just started my junior year in the School of Medicine when my weight began to drop and I had a succession of night sweats. A typical "physician treating thyself," I jumped to the conclusion that it might be tuberculosis, but a PPD X 2 was negative. The night sweats began to come more frequently. I wasn't sure what was going on, so I went to the chief medical resident at Meyer Memorial Hospital, Dr. Scott ordlick, who was my preceptor. Scott took a cursory history but did no physical examination. "Sounds as if you have a cold," he told me. Two days later, when I was again on call, I woke up with a bad cough and another night sweat. I went back to Scott. He recommended a chest X-ray, which I had at Meyer. The medical resident who read it told me that it was normal and that my symptom complex was probably a viral syndrome, nothing to worry about. At that time I was living at home. My mother had been telling me that I looked a little pale, wasn't eating as much as usual and seemed a lot more tired. She had been after me to get a check-up. I called her and told her that I had had it. The next day I went to turn in the write-up required of all third-year medical students to Scott ordlick. He seemed at a loss for words. "Tom," he finally said. "Your chest X-ray wasn't normal after all. We're going down to review it with Dr. Farzan (Sattar Farzan, attending in pulmonary medicine) and Dr. Ha es (David Hayes, attending in radiology]. Could you meet me in Dr. Farzan's office in about 20 minutes?" "Is it TB?" I asked. " o," he said. "I wish I could tell you it's TB." I went back to the floor, drew some bloods on a patient, then went to Dr. Farzan's office. Scott was just leaving. "Hey, big boy," he said, "get in touch with me when you get done." Dr. Farzan asked me about my symptoms. I told him that I had been having night sweats for two or three months, first relatively infrequently but now once and sometimes two times a night; that I had been losing about a pound a week and that I wasn't sure whether or not I had a fever at that time. The chest X-ray, he told me, had picked up a tumor. He pointed it out on the film. The date was Friday, October 23. Dr. Farzan made an appointment for me to enter the hospital onday for a diagnostic work-up. I had had previous chest X-rays taken at Our Lady of Victory when I worked there. I called to get copies. Then I left the hospital after breaking down into tears in front of one of my classmates. On my way home I stopped at my dad's place of work. He was standing outside his office at the end of the hall talking to one of his associates. He looked up and saw me. "What's wrong, Tom?" he asked, coming to me. We went into his office and I told him that I had to go into the hospital - that I had a tumor in my chest. "Oh, my God!" he said, and then "How are you doing?" "Oh, pretty good," I told him. I went home and asked mom to come out of the kitchen. 36 THE BUFF ALO PHYSICIAN �"What for, I'm busy," she said. "Please come out here," I said again, and she did. When I told her my news we both broke down into tears in each other's arms, but after our composure was restored we decided that we could deal with whatever the future held. I called Mary Jane, a girl I had been dating for three yea_rs. We had planned to get married after medical school. Meanwhile she had taken a job in ew York. I told her I had a tumor and later made re ervations for her to come to Buffalo the next day. That night things looked pretty black. I wa frightened. Mary Jane came home from ew York and we spent the weekend together. Then she went back to. ew York and. ~onday morning, my father drove me to the hospital. I to?k ~ medical t~xt for something to read, and as a source of informatwn 1f I needed 11. I admitted myself and went to J-1. "Do you know you're scheduled for a thoracotomy tomorrow morning?" the head nurse asked. " I responded. "I think you have the wrong 0 , I don't," patient." "You're Tom Raab, aren't you?" she said. "Look at the schedule. Didn't they tell you about it." Sure enough the schedule said "Tom Raab mediastinoscopy, possible medialsternotomy, and possible thoracotomy 7:30 AM Tuesday." I was al~ost speechless. When Scott, the chief resident who had originally ordered the chest films, came into my room I was on the verge of hysteria. "Scott, what's going on?" I asked. "They tell me I've got to go for a thoracotomy." " ow wait a minute, Tom," he told me. "We've gotten that straightened out. We want to do some _t~sts first and find out just what's going on. Then we'll make a dec1s10n. If thoracotomy seems indicated, we'll do it Friday." . . I learned later that an intern who was later to be a chief resident had slowed things down by saying "Let's ~et a piece of the tis ue before we commit this guy to thoracotomy. The week began with a number of tests - a repeat chest Xray a liver-spleen scan a thyroid scan, blood tests, tomograms. On Th~r day they told me 1hat the only _wa to i:na_kea firm diagnosis was by biopsy. They would start with med1stmosco~y and go to medialsternotomy if they couldn't obtain tissue. The ti su~ results would determine whether they did thoracotomy and excised the tumor. That evening my family came in - my mother, f ?ther, ~ister and her husband, younger sister and brother. I wa~ m a P_n~?te room and the nursing staff graciously allowed us to vwlate visiting hours. Some of the nurses from B-1, where I had worked as a student, brought over a cake and we had a little party, 13 of us. Then it came time to be prepped and everyone stepp~d ~ul. The guy nicked me three times. I thought he was begmnmg the surgery in the room. Then I went out to say goodbye to my family. My mother and sisters broke into tears. My brother - the only one besides myself who didn't break down - just said "You know you'll do all right, Tom." Then my dad came over. I extended my hand, but he tarted 0 WI TER, 1981 37 Introduction One of the last things that Or. Samuel Sanes did during his final hospitalization was to listen to a tape of Dr. Tom Raab's story of his struggle with Hodgkin's Disease. His own story, "A Physician Faces Disseminated Reticulum Cell Sarcoma in Himself," was drawing to an end. He had suggested to Dr. Raab that readers of The Buffalo Physician, particularly recent graduates, might be interested in what Dr. Raab had to say. He had asked him to tape the story with the aim of having it transcribed and editing it, if necessary. When he heard it, he concluded that little editing was necessary. He was greatly moved, and said so. He then dictated the following paragraphs as an introduction. * * * "I met Tom Raab in the spring of 1976, when he was undergoin chemotherapy. Assuming that he might be a medical student, I introduced myself. We became friends. He visited in our home and my wife and I went to his parents' home for his graduation party. "Twice we participated in discussions of our disease, once for the sophomore class of the School of Medicine, again for a university class in Death and Dying. "I am 72. Tom is 26, but our common disease has given us an empathy not normally to be expected between people of such diversity in age. "I think that you will be interested in his story, that it will fortify some of what l have said in my preceding articles. I do not expect to be here to read it myself, but I hope that Tom will be around for many years yet." -Samuel Sanes, M.D. d- �I I to cry and wrapped his arms around me in a display of emotion I had never seen before. In that one moment I realized how much I meant to him and what a traumatic experience this was for my parents. The next morning two good friends, John Small, a fell ow classmate, and his wife Susie, awakened me at 6 AM to share my anxiety. Half an hour later the nurse came in for the pre-ops. Then my parents arrived. "It was funny," John told me later. "You just sat there on the edge of the bed, talking away, and your voice got slower and slower until you finally lay down and went to sleep." It wasn't necessary to do any more than the mediastinoscopy. Dr. Wright (John Wright, chairman of the Department of Pathology) came over from the university and read the frozen section. It was Hodgkin's Disease. I went to the recovery room and then, at 4 PM, back to my room. When Dr. Farzan walked in I said, "Gee, it's very nice of you to come in and see me." "Tom," he said. "I saw you and talked with you in the recovery room." I didn't remember it, though he said that I had recognized him and answered questions appropriately. So many medical students came by during the next few hours that the intern who was overseeing my case finall decreed that no one could see me except my immediate family. I had to get some rest. I guess I slept. I really don't remember. I had night sweats again. The next morning I felt as if I had been worked over by a rubber hose. Every muscle in my body ached. This was attributed to a postoperative systemic reaction. Apparently there had been ome seizure activity after the acetylcoline administration. I was judged to be stable and sent home. ar Jane came back from ew York again and spent the weekend. On Monday, ovember 3, I went back to the hospital to see Dr. Rose Ruth Ellison, head of the Department of Oncology. She recommended that I go to Roswell Park emorial Institute for staging of my disease and therapy as indicated. The institute, she said, had the most experience in treating Hodgkin's Disease. She picked up the phone and called Dr. Leon Stutzman of the edicine B service, telling him that she would like to ref er me there. "When can he come down?" Dr. Stutzman asked. She gave me the phone. ''I'd like to come in as soon as possible," I told him. He said that afternoon would be fine. I took my mother with me. Dr. Stutzman reviewed my history and what had been done to date. He then examined me, noting that I was "a husky white male in no acute distress." A nurse drew blood for preliminary tests. Dr. Stutzman scheduled me for lymphangiography Thursday, ovember 6, and admission to the hospital for a stage-in laparotomy the following week. I spent the week at home. The Medical School gave me a leave of ab ence for an undetermined time. The lymphangiography on Thursday took about three hours. Dye was injected into my feet, from which it was slowly absorbed 38 THE B FF ALO PHYSICIA �up into the lymph vessels of my legs and then into the abdomen over the next hours. I was admitted to the hospital in case there was some systemic reaction. That night I spiked a temperature and found out what it is like to have blood cultures taken as I had so frequently taken them for other patients and would do thereafter. My own gave no clue as to the cause of my fever, which was assumed to be secondary to the dye. The preliminary report on my lymphangiography was that it was positive, which would have meant Stage 3 Hodgkin's Disease. I went home on a pass that weekend. Mary Jane flew in again and spent Saturday and Sunday with me. I had to go back to the hospital Monday, but Tuesday was a holiday, Veterans' Day, and I had another pass, so we had that day together too. Then she went back to ew York and I went back to the hospital. I was scheduled for my exploratory laparotomy Thursday. I talked to ary Jane on the phone the night before. She wished me luck and said she was sorry that she couldn't be there, but she had a commitment to her job. I guess, in retrospect, that I was beginning to see the end of a relationship that I had thought more significant than it really was. I didn't sleep much that night. I sat up and talked with the nurses. The induction of anesthesia went relatively smoothly the next morning. I went to sleep and the next thing I knew I was on the table and the surgeons were still working over me, apparently closing the abdomen. Then I drifted off again and woke up in the recovery room. I had a 10½-inch incision down my belly and was a little sore but when I asked for pain medication the nurse told me that I couldn't have any until I was fully awake. Back in my room I found my mom and dad, a nurse whose father works with mine, and some of the nurses from the floor. I said "Hello" to them but not much else. I slept on and off throughout the rest of the day. I do remember being threatened with a catheter. Boy, did that scare me! But the resident said "Give him eight hours - if he doesn't pee by midnight we'll do it." At midnight they extended the deadline another two hours. I beat it by half an hour when I urinated at 1 :30 without any difficulty. Over the next few days I didn't have much time to think what was going on. The gas pains, healing of the incision, getting up and walking kept me occupied. By now it was less than a month after the initial X-rays and I had been a patient in two hospitals and gone through two surgeries. Finally the gas pains subsided and I started to eat again. Some of my nurses were very sympathetic, very understanding. Others were very cold. It was one of the latter who walked in the morning after surgery. "Okay," she told me. "Get out of bed so I can make it. You can wash yourself - here's your water, wash cloth and towel." I didn't feel too comfortable about getting out of bed, but I didn't want to make her mad, so I did. When I complained to my doctors, they agreed that she was pushing things. WI TER, 1981 39 d- �Recuperation went very well, however. Dr. tutzman told me that the staging laparotomy had been ne ative, and my diagnosis changed from Stage 3 to "nodular clerosing Stage lb," which had a more hopeful prognosis. I was scheduled for total body radiation to be given in two courses - the upper body first and then the lower body in an foverted V. "What are the genetic risks?" I asked Dr. Stutzman. "Well, the smart thing would be never to have kid ," he told me. Before I could react or question him he excused himself to go to a meeting. That night two good friends, Hal and Paula (now Hal and Paula Crispell) showed up. That was the only time I cried in the hospital - and they cried with me. But we talked it out, and I decided that I'd made it this far and I could deal with this new trauma and continue on. In the coming months I shed many a tear with Hal and Paula. I didn't cry often, but there were times when I just had to. I remember once when I came home after a visit to Roswell Park. I sat down on the couch in my parents' front room and all of the emotional frustration I was feeling just poured out in tears. I let them flow. I felt the whole damn thing was absurd and ridiculous. It still eems that way. I was discharged ovember 23 after my laparotomy. Radiation therapy began ovember 26. The area to be irradiated was mapped out carefully and I was tattooed in a couple of places to mark the limits so that the fields of this and any future radiation wouldn't overlap. After my first two treatments there was a break for Thanksgiving. I had dinner with my parents. Mary Jane had come home, but I couldn't make her understand what I was going through. In the old days when I had put an arm around her she would grab my belly playfully. ow she continued to do this, despite the pain it caused with the incision there. She went back to ew York after the weekend and I went back to Roswell Park. Radiation wasn't much fun. I had a superficial sunburn effect, developed a sore throat and a candida infection. (I found out what it's like to use mycostatin as a mouth wash - it's not the tastiest thing in the world, though effective against candida.) I was fatigued all the time. Since most of my radiation was above the diaphragm I didn't suffer nausea and vomiting. One of the pluses of radiation therapy was that I met some really nice people, including Cindy, the girl who gave me most of my treatments over the prescribed five weeks. By ew Year's Eve I was finished with radiation. Mary Jane had come home and we went to a ew Year's Eve party given by some friends of hers in South Buffalo who knew about my diagnosis and were very understanding. During the dinner one of them asked how the therapy had one and I said, "Oh, pretty good." What are you on therapy for?" one of the other gue ts asked. "Hodgkin's Disease, a form of cancer," I responded. 40 THE BUFF ALO PHYSICIA �At that point my zone of personal space probably quadrupled. When we went back into the front room I sat at one end of the couch. o one sat down by me. It was obvious that ome people would rather stand than sit next to a cancer patient. I left shortly after, feeling for the first time the stigma of my disease in other person's minds. My doctors at Roswell Park had decided not to give me another course of radiation to the lower part of my body. In lead I was scheduled for six months of systemic chemotherapy. It seemed like an improvement when Dr. Stutzman told me. I signed the usual agreement that I didn't hold the in titute responsible for my treatment, that I realized that the drugs I would receive were experimental and was willing to accept the side effects. "There's only one major long-term side effect," Dr. Stutzman pointed out. "What's that?" I asked. "Sterility," he responded. At that point I didn't have any real choice. Chemotherapy was to begin that day, January 28. It was already too late for the sperm bank. Dr. Stutzman did tell me that some patients had recurrences of spermatogenesis four to five years after the cessation of chemotherapy. I was to take five drugs. Two, vincristine and vinblastine, would be administered intravenously on Days 1 and 8 of a 28-day cycle. The other three - procarbazine, prednisone and chlorambucil - would be taken orally. Meanwhile I had had to decide what to do about medical school. I had gone to Assistant Deans John Richert and Leonard Katz and told them my problems. "I would like to stay in school," I explained, "but I will not be able to take night calls. And I will have to miss time from rotations when I go in for my injections." They had made arrangements for me to return on a modified level. I was scheduled to do pediatrics and ob-gyn at South Buffalo Mercy and surgery, without night call, at Meyer Memorial. As a fourth-year student I would have to make up the surgery time that I had missed when I was learning surgery from the patient's viewpoint. By the time I started ob-gyn my relationship with Mary Jane had deteriorated to an infrequent phone call or letter wondering how I was doing. I started to date other girls. This had its problems. y doctors had warned me that during chemotherapy, as during radiation, I must avoid persons with viruses and other inf ections. What was a minor disease in them could be a major one with my weakened resistance. Once I made a date with a pretty clerk in the hospital to take her out for a fish fry and maybe a show Friday evening. On Thursday she came in with a runny nose and a cough. WI TER, 1981 41 d- �"I don't think we'll be able to go out tomorrow night," I told her. "Why?" she asked. "Because you have a cold," I replied. "What's wrong?" she said. "It's just a little cold. We can still go out. I'm not really sick." "I have Hodgkin's Disease and I'm on chemotherapy," plained. ''I have to avoid people who are overtly sick." I ex- "Come on, what are you talking about?" she persisted. I turned around and lifted my hair, which was now shoulder length but actually all grew from the top of my head. I was bald from about an inch below that, where m hair had not come back after radiation. "Oh my gosh, you really do have something. don't you?" she exclaimed. We talked it out and she finally understood, so things worked out pretty well. But this was a sequence that was to be repeated time and again over the next six months. Even doctors didn't always prove understanding, though most of them did. I had to take time out for the injections and the nausea that followed them. Fortunately I never developed any severe vomiting. From the physical viewpoint things weren't unbearable, but the psychological problem was more difficult to deal with. I knew that every time I walked into the hospital I was going to come out sicker than when I went in. "You miss an awful the chief of one service At that point I had ei ht weeks - less than lot of time because of that chemotherapy," through which I was rotating commented. missed a total of eight days in the previous some of my classmates who weren't ill. "Well," I asked in rather a defensive way, "do you want me to repeat this rotation next year." "Oh no," he replied. I was just commenting on the time you missed. You go right ahead." When I finally finished chemotherapy on June 30, 1976, Dr. Stutzman told me that the next two years would be the most critical as far as relapse. I was to watch for recurrent symptomology and come into the institute monthly for chest X-rays. blood study rates and CBCs. I had managed to keep up with my class. I felt pretty comfortable. I was starting to regain some of the weight I had lost. I had gone from 186 to 155 pounds prior to therapy and was now back in the 165-170 range. At the beginning of my fourth year I had questions I had to answer. I wanted to know if I could live on my own and take care of myself. My parents were supportive. They gave me the money I needed to set up an apartment and told me to go ahead and try it. I could always come home if it proved too much. It didn't. I even learned that I could cook. I took on a subinternship to see if I could handle night calls and function as an intern would have to do. 42 THE BUFF ALO PHYSICIA �I was able to cope with the stress. All went well and I finished the subinternship during the snowstorm which made Buffalo famous throughout the world, the Blizzard of '77. I even received honors for my work. Socially I became a hedonist. The dating process was relatively easy. Fourth-year medical students get along well with nur es and it wasn't too difficult to get a date. It was fun to date different girls, but I still hoped to find someone who would understand me, who would bolster my morale and tell me I was going to be fine, who could accept all that I had gone through. It seemed that there was always something that was unacceptable - the fact that I had cancer, or the fact that I couldn't have kids. I had decided on internal medicine as a career. I liked the program at Buffalo and was still too fatigued to con ider interviewing all over the country. I applied for the university program and asked for an early decision. I was accepted, so that was pretty well squared away. My fellow students elected me their class representative to speak at graduation. I was to choose my own topic. Because I had seen an obvious lack of communication between the patient, some doctors and the. family I chose that as my subject. Eighteen months have passed. I am well into m. residency. I still watch myself for symptomology, drop in at Roswell Park at regular intervals for the recommended X-rays and blood tests. Otherwise I lead a relatively normal life. How has all of this changed me? I guess I've become a here-and-now type of person. I enjoy life today for what it's worth and look forward to tomorrow, but I don't live with the understanding that life's going to go on forever as so many people my age do. I appreciate my parents more. I said so at the close of my graduation speech. I said that there were two people I really wanted to thank for everything they had done, and added, "Thank you, om and Dad, I love you." That made my mom more tearyeyed than she had been before. I know my brother and sisters better. My brother and I are rather different individuals. Before my illness we had our ups and downs, didn't really understand each other. ow we can talk. We know each other not just as brothers but as friends. My little sister and I are kind of similar. She is pretty special. She worries a lot, did anything she could to help. My big sister and I are nearest in age. We seldom disagree about anything but we did tease each other and fought. ow we, too, have become very close. Then there are my friends. I got the lea t support from those I depended on most. Others, who I didn't realize cared so much, were always there when I needed them. It has taken a long time to understand and forgive Mary Jane. I thought I loved her and she loved me and would be there when I needed her. She wasn't. I still hope in time to find one special person who will love me as I want to be loved and be willing to share my life. I guess the person I've come to know best of all is myself. I WI TER, 1981 43 d- �know who I am, what I want, just what I can handle. I've been able to meet the stresses of internship and residency. My hair has grown back curlier than it was before. I don't have to ask a girl if she's got a cold anymore. I can go out with her even if he' ot the sniffles. Do I still think about dying? Yes. Death is a question that is difficult to deal with. Patients can talk about it with each other, but not with those who have never had their disease. Someone will tell me, "I know what you're going through." "Bullshit," I think, "you don't know what I'm going through you haven't been there." Another person will say, "I have a risk of dying too - I could be hit by a car while crossing the street." So can I. But he doesn't have to walk around knowin that he has a malignancy, wondering if it is regrowing, if it i going to shorten his !if e. I was lucky. Stage lb wasn't so bad. David, who wa admitted to Roswell Park at the same time I was, was dead eight months later. He had leukemia and developed an acute abdominal infection which he no longer had the reserve to deal with. I was lucky in other ways, too. I could stay in my home town, continue in medical school. And my disease didn't crush me financially. My parents financed my education, so I am loan free. My initial bills at Meyer Memorial, $1500 to $1600 for five days, were met by Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Since my treatment was experimental, I went on protocol at Roswell Park. That meant I didn't have to pay an thing. If I had, the bills would have totaled between 10,000 and $15,000 for my staging laporotomy, hospitalization, radiation, chemotherapy and monthly visits. Right now I run an 80-85% chance of surviving five ears, a little less than a normal 26-year-old. The two-year period after chemotherapy was over in June. ow my goal is five years, and then things will begin to fit into a more normal pattern. If I have had no recurrence, my life expectancy will go back lo near normal. Do I regret having had cancer? Yes, I regret it. It's not something I would have volunteered to go through. But it wasn't a bad experience. It's been a very good experience, a very warm and enriching experience. I've gained a lot of understanding about what people are like, what to expect or not expect from them in a crisis situation, what I can expect from m self. And I am now a doctor. aybe, if I'm lucky and continue in remission, I'll be able to apply some of what I have learned in treating other patients. □ 44 THE B FF ALO PHY ICIAN �Medical Alumni Officers Dr. Chossin Dr. orman Chassin, M'45, was elected president.

Included in these traditions was the restoration and placement of the bronze plaques which resided in the previous medical school building, the obtaining of one of the old lanterns, and restoration of many of the paintings. Dr. Robert Brown has been instrumental in many of these efforts and has shouldered the responsibility for carrying each project to completion. Each project has provided a source and sense of continuity from the past to the present and has served to insure the legacy of the "old" into the "new". A tradition common to many medical schools including UB is again being reimplemented. This is the naming of alumni or faculty members who have made a distinct contribution to the annals of The School of Medicine. During the past two years three such actions have been recommended by the Executive Committee of the School of Medicine and acted favorably upon by the University's Advisory Council. These actions were the identification of the Center for Immunology as the Ernest Witebsky Center for Immunology, the naming of the School's newly remodeled and refurnished Executive Committee Conference Room as the Eugene Lippschutz Conference Center, and now the naming of the Biochemistry Conference Room in memory of Willard B. Elliot. Each of these dedicated scientists and scholars made distinguished, significant lifelong contributions to The School of Medicine as teachers, investigators and servants. The recognition of their memories by those of us who knew them intimately and the carrying forward of the principles and values which each emulated is, indeed, a function of an institution dedicated to serve the needs of humanity. I hope that we will maintain this behavior and tradition in the years ahead.O �Volume 15, Number 1 Spring 1981 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN (USPS 551·86{)) Published by the School of Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo EDITORIAL BOARD Editor RoBERTS.

In his welcome Dean John Naughton told the entering students that "they were beginning their medical education at an exciting and awesome time. There are big changes in medical schools, in the profession and the students. There are changes in internships, residencies and the way programs are molded. You folks are a part of all this." Dr. Naughton warned the student of changes and problems in the decades ahead. "There will be changes in techniques, in patient care and in the cost of health services. The three major crises are in health care, energy and environment and they won't disappear overnight. "Many American medical students will be entering foreign medical schools again this year. These people, their parents and your parents will be checking your performance here along with our own admissions committee. For this reason you must learn to study, work hard and succeed. We hope you won't let us down." Dr. F. Carter Pannill Jr., vice president for the faculty of health sciences, welcomed the new students for President Robert Ketter. "You are among the 3,000 students in the five health sciences schools. You are beginning an educational process that will never end. We are here to help you and expect a lot from you as physicians." Dr. Leonard Katz told the 1984 class that they had a lot to give to the University. "We want your thoughts and your input. We are confident you will succeed." The associate dean for student and curricular affairs warned the students of the pitfalls they could expect in their chosen profession. The chairman of admissions told the students something about themselves. Dr. Harry Metcalf said, "you are older and wiser - your average age is 23.08; 46 of you are women; 89 are men; 20 are minorities; 59 are from Western New York; 50 from downstate; 6 from upstate. You bring excellent academic records to Buffalo." Dr. Frank Schimpfhauser, who heads the office of education evaluation and research, told how his staff works with students and faculty to improve teaching and learning. "We know about your educational needs and are here to help." Dean John Naughton d- Drs. Martin Wingate, Harry Metcalf, Frank Schimpfhauser, Ross Markella, John Naughton, Leonard Katz, John Richert, Carter PannilJ. The Class of 1984 SPRING, 1981 5 �Dr. Leonard Katz Dr. Ross Markello, assistant dean for graduate education, charged the students to remain well informed about advances in their profession and events in the world. He suggested that they read the New England Journal of Medicine, Science for Nature and the New York Times. Dr. Martin Winegate, assistant dean for medical education, invited the students to attend some of the special programs. "Continuing education will go on the rest of your lives. Read, read, read and do some writing too." There was an afternoon picnic at the end of the first day with faculty and upper class students, plus tours, picture taking and briefings. Second year students who played a prominent role during the three days of orientation were: Richard Collins, James Corasanti, John Feldenzer and Barbara Ostrov. During the second day of orientation the new students had rap sessions with second year students that covered a wide variety of topics. Mr. David Bouman and Dr. Jack Richert spoke about financial aid. They also met and heard a few words from some of their first year instructors and Dr. Martin E. Plaut, associate professor of medicine. The third and final day of orientation featured a clinical case presentation by clinical and basic science faculty, luncheon with preceptors and administrators and a hospital visit with the preceptors. Drs. Evan Calkins and Eugene Mindell introduced patient X, a 72-year-old housewife, to the students. She was a patient at the geriatric assessment-rehabilitation clinic at the Erie County Medical Center. Her present illness started suddenly in California five years ago when she developed soreness and swelling of many joints - especially the first metatarsalphalangeal joints of both feet, the ankles, knees and shoulders. She went to a physician, who performed a joint aspiration, identified the presence of typical uric acid crystals, and told her she had gout. When she returned to Buffalo her private physician (cognizant of the relative rarity of acute gout in women) made the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. He treated her with various anti-rheumatic agents with indifferent succ~ss over the next four-and-one-halfyears. In November, 1979 her physician initiated a new medicine, tolectin. She developed a severe adverse reaction with rash and increased soreness of the joints. Her next stop was the Emergency Room of the Erie County Medical Center and then to the Arthritis Clinic and later to the Geriatric Service. 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The patient told the students she "wanted to walk again and put on a pair of shoes. I have great respect for Drs. Calkins and Mindell. They are interested in my case and have talked to me. This is worth a million dollars." Dr. Calkins told the students, "the way you give medication is sometimes the key to treatment. Listening and observing the patient is very important, and isn't as easy as it seems." Dr. Calkins is professor of medicine and head of the geriatrics division of Veterans Administration Medical Center. Dr. Alexander Brownie, professor and chairman of biochemistry, concentrated his remarks on uric acid. The patient's uric acid level was twice as high as it should be, and that is why gout was diagnosed. "Controlling uric acid is very complicated. With 11 mgm. % level of uric acid there is a tendency towards crystallization. When uric acid is synthesized it is excreted and when it is not excreted it causes gout. The big problem is solubility of uric acid." Dr. John Wright, professor and chairman of pathology, told the students that pathology was a study of disease. In discussing patient's problems he showed slides of arthritic joints and cartilage. Dr. Wright also talked about the major kinds of arthritis - osteo, rheumatoid, gouty and gonococcal. He mentioned procedures "to find out how you can be sure you are dealing with uric acid crystals. Gout and rheumatoid arthritis usually never occur together, but it can happen." Dr. Mindell, professor and chairman of orthopedics examined and showed radio-graphs of the patient's elbows, wrists, fingers, knees and ankles. He explained the problems and the changes taking place. "Her loss of weight in the last six months is another of our major concerns. We must explore the possibility of another disease before further treatment." Dr. Mindell noted that surgical treatment is a possibility. "Normal joint function is very good for many years after surgery. There are 11 million arthritis sufferers in the United States, and this disease is second to heart disease in incapacitating people." SPRING, 1981 d7 Dr. John Richert �Clockwise from lower le ft : Drs. Robert Kahn , Theodore S chulman, Kevin Pronikoff, Steph en Barron, Robert Ehrenreich , Pe ter Goegren, Isra e l Alvarez. The Preceptor's Luncheon Dr. Barbara Rennick, professor of pharmacology and therapeutics, discussed the drug treatment of gout. "Our goals are to reduce uric acid in the body and decrease the inflammation process. Colchicine is a classic drug used for the diagnosis and treatment of gout. Probenecid is used to increase excretion from kidneys and allopurinol decreases the synthesis of uric acid." She also discussed drug interaction and side effects. Dr. Linda Pessar, assistant professor of psychiatry, showed a video tape interview with the patient. She said, "I was lonely; didn't know what I was being treated for in the early stages because it was hard to communicate with the doctors and residents. Often I felt helpless and depressed. I don't think of myself as being old and I am not senile." 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The patient had a special message for medical students: "be kind and considerate to your patients, treat them as humans." Dr. Calkins moderated the panel discussion that followed. Daniel Ford, second year student, noted that "you must learn how to relate to your patient." The students asked the panel (previous speakers) many questions that related to the diagnosis and treatment of the patient. Specifically they asked about the relationship of gout and diet; gout and drinking; the patient's weight loss; and the difficulty in diagnosing the disease. In conclusion Dr. Edward A. Carr Jr., who moderated thesession, noted that gout is not a common disease in women, but they can have it. He is professor and chairman of pharmacology and therapeutics. Clockwise from right: Drs. Robert Patterson, Evan Calkins, Leonard Katz, Eugene MindelJ, Harry Beirne, Erwin Ginsberg, Elton Rock. Dr. Barron �Frosh Picnic At the Friday luncheon for preceptors and students, Dr. Leonard Katz congratulated the students and faculty for their cooperation during the three days of orientation. He introduced Dr. Peter Nickerson who was chairman of the faculty-orientation committee. Dr. Katz said he was proud of the physicians who have taken students into their offices and to the hospitals during the last four years of the preceptor program. 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Stephen Barron, assistant professor of neurology, is in charge of the preceptorship program for the second consecutive year. He told the new students, "this program gives you a break from books. You can learn a little bit about the practice of medicine and clinical medicine, but this is not a course in clinical medicine."

Jones, Ph.D., M.D. Distinguished Professor Emeritus When I was writing an article in 1974 about Honorary Medical Degrees granted by The University of Buffalo, I experienced the thrill of discovery- not through a microscope nor in the dissecting room- but on the pages of the Minute Book for our medical faculty at U.B. The first finding was that the late Dean Julian Park only knew about ten honorary M.D. degrees, whereas there were 23 altogether. Dean Park did not have access to the Minute Book which was discovered after he died. The second thing was that in 1868, the University bestowed an honorary M.D. degree upon Theodore Evans, Paris, France. There is nothing in the minutes of the Medical Faculty and those of the University Council, nor in the local newspapers of that period, to indicate his qualifications. Hence, who was Theodore Evans and why did the University so honor him? Although my curiosity was aroused, I really did nothing about it until six months later when I received a letter from Ms. Mary Alton, Medical Librarian, St. Jerome's Hospital, Batavia, N.Y. I read with great interest your article in the Buffalo Physician entitled Honorary Medical Degrees. Your mention of an honorary medical degree awarded in 1868 to Dr. Theodore Evans of Paris, France, startled me. You probably know that during the Franco-Prussian War {1870), after Napoleon III was captured by the Germans, things began to come apart in Paris, and it was only with the help of an American dentist, Dr. Evans, that the Empress Eugenie escaped safely to England. Dr. Evans is credited by most authorities as being Eugenie's personal dentist. Others claim he was her lover. I can't believe that there was Il).Ore than one American Dr. Evans residing in Paris during the Second Empire. Do you suppose this Dr. Evans is your Dr. Evans? Presented before Omicron Kappa Epsilon meeting, The Honorary Dental Society, 2 May 1979. Indeed, I too could not believe that there were two Dr. T. Evanses, both American dentists and living in Paris during the Second Empire. It occurred to me at that time, it would be necessary to obtain statistics from both the American and French Embassies in order to calculate a probability statement. Ms. Alton's letter really further increased my curiosity- for after all- curiosity, in the broadest sense, is an urge for knowledge. So off to the library I went. The National Cyclopedia of American Biography states that Dr. Thomas Evans introduced dentistry to all Europe. The Encyclopedia Americana states that "The bulk of his estate established a museum and institute (in Philadelphia) which became the School of Dentistry of the University of Pennsylvania." The latter statement caused me to trace it to its source - so at the suggestion of Dean Feagans- I wrote to Dean Cohen, University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. He referred my letter to Mr. John M. Whittock, Jr. Librarian. This started a whole 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �series of events because the University of Pennsylvania also has exhibits of the Thomas W. Evans Museum. Let me say at this point - most research librarians are conscientious, unselfish and dedicated persons. While waiting to hear from the University of Pennsylvania, I read The Memoirs of Dr. Thomas W. Evans, etc. (1905) and The Empress Eugenie. A Three Act Play by Lowndes. One never knows where a trivial thought may lead in research. Perhaps it would have been better to entitle this talk, "One Thing Leads to Another." As it turned out, Dr. Thomas W. Evans was indeed an internationally famous dentist -but nothing was mentioned about his brother - Theodore Evans. However, in order to lead up to a consideration of Theodore, it is necessary to present the many facets of Thomas' life because he was a vain man and as his success grew his conceit grew with it. Before some of you get too excited - my research has not provided the slightest clue that Thomas, the dentist, was also Empress Eugenie's lover. In August 1976, Mr. Whittock sent me a copy of Anthony Branch's dissertation on Evans, published in 1971 and Henry Rainey's short monograph, published in 1949. Also included were pages from the geneaological tablet of the Wiltberger and Evans families. A month later, Professor Poulet, Chairman of French History of Medicine and Surgery, University of Paris, sent several articles about Thomas W. Evans - but none about his brother Theodore. This was the beginning of a wider search into the unknown, because Branch's thesis had something about our protagonist - Theodore. There were indeed two Dr. T. Evanses, both American dentists, practicing simultaneously in Paris. Theodore was an elder brother of Thomas. How this happened is best explained by reviewing Thomas' background and life style. Thomas was educated in Philadelphia, and, in 1837, at the age of 14, was an apprentice for Joseph Warner, the famous goldsmith and craftsman. There he learned about the precious metals used by dentists for special fillings and fine gold wire for various ligatures. In addition, his workshop made diverse small instruments for practicing dentists. After four years, young Tom was admitted as a student-dentist of the distinguished Philadelphia dentist, Dr. John deHaven White. Evans had as a fellow student, young Samuel Stockton White, who later established the wellknown dental manufacturing company. At this point, it should be mentioned that John deHaven and Samuel Stockton were not related. At the end of his apprenticeship, Thomas Evans received a certificate attesting to his proficiency in dentistry. According to Thomas' own account, he also attended courses at Jefferson Medical College but Henry Rainey - former curator of the T.W. Evans Museum -says his name does not appear in the register of that period. After his apprenticeship, Thomas practiced dentistry in Lancaster, Pa. Through a fortuitous circumstance, a pharmacist directed his attention to the need of a smart young dentist who could do fine gold fittings and would like to live in Paris. Evans confided in his young bride - Agnes Josephine Dayley - (The family name is important, as will be shown later.) He said, "I saw a chance and it is a sin to let it pass." So, they decided to give it a try for one year. Before that, Thomas asked his older brother, Theodore S. Evans (dentist) to take charge of his practice during the interim. (This is the first mention of his brother Theodore.) d- �Pediatric Continuing Education Programs April 11 - "A Perinatal Approach to Prevention / Management of Neonatal Respiratory Distress", Dr. Ralph J.

Thomas Evans and his wife departed for Paris in 1847. A belated announcement in the Dental Newsletter in October 1848 said, "We now have another American dentist (a Philadelphian) in Paris. We are speaking of Mr. T.W. Evans whose examples of orification won him a medal. He is associated with Dr. Brewster." Two years later, 1849, the Prince-President of the 2nd Republic (later to become Emperor Napoleon III) sent a message to Dr. Cyrus Brewster requesting that he come to the palace, if convenient, because he required his services. Dr. Brewster was ill when the message was received and so it was Thomas Evans' good fortune to take his place professionally and visit with the Prince. That was the beginning of a life-long friendship. After the Prince became Emperor Napoleon III in 1852, he appointed Mr. Thomas Evans as his "Surgeon-Dentist." Two years later it was decreed that Mr. Evans was to be Surgeon-Dentist to the Emperor and Empress at a fixed salary of 6,000 francs. This title placed him on a par with the eminent physicians and surgeons of the court - so he must have assumed the title of Doctor of Medicine as an embellishment. After all, he was vain and conceited. He had no earned doctorate degree. In 1850 the Baltimore College of Dentistry conferred upon him an honorary D.D.S. degree and in 1853 the Philadelphia College of Dental Surgeons did likewise, and in 1870 Lafayette College awarded him an honorary Ph.D. degree. I am getting a little ahead of the narrative and must return to 1852. At this time Thomas Evans and his wife decided to return to America for three months because he was overworked at the office and exhausted from the continual traveling to see Royal patients. Therefore, he brought his elder brother, Theodore, from Lancaster, Pa. to France to work under him. Thomas considered Theodore to be a very capable dentist and a straight, upright Christian man. During the next few years he added several French assistants. His more mundane patients, who lacked high titles but could pay, were left to his assistants. During his extensive practice with Royal patients, Thomas according to his own words - considered the influences of His Majesty King Maximilian of Bavaria and his family were the ones who really introduced him to many of the crowned heads of Europe. Again, in his own words: I proved to him (the King) what a dentist from America was capable of doing, to be able to restore that which some ignorant dentist in those days was incapable. But then it was not a profession in those days but taken up as a trade . In a way, they were excusable for they possessed no dental schools to perfect th~mselves before establishing. He also did dental work for Popes Piux IX and Leo XIII. "What was the use of all my counsel and cares, for I never could obtain either of these Holey men that they would brush their teeth as other people. Why I never could learn." (Thomas was raised as a Quaker). As a result of his services for dental patients of the Royalty from 15 different countries, Thomas amassed a collection of over 200 decorations from every known order. Incidentally, he refused one from the King of Prussia. In 1864, the war between the States threatened the economy of France because of its dependance upon cotton from the South. Napoleon III had to make a decision- should he cast his lot with 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �the North or the South? He confided in his friend Dr. Thomas Evans who pictured himself first as an American and then as a dentist. In addition, he was a most shrewd business man. Evans asked the Emperor to withhold a decision until he returned from America. He visited President Lincoln, who was full of hope and confidence. Afterwards he visited General Grant at his general headquarters. Secretary of State William H. Seward managed these meetings among other things. Upon his return to France, he related his observations to Napoleon III, who then decided to cast the die in favor of the North. Evans studied carefully the organization of military hospitals and especially that of the Sanitary Commission in the United States. He was impressed by the "Coffee Wagon" which had been used at the Battle of Appomattox Court House. He had it rounded up, part by part, and brought to France for the 1867 Exposition. It served as a model for the ambulances used in the Franco-Prussian War. Evans organized the American International Sanity Commission of Paris for the purpose of being a direct Agent of American Charity. This led to the future "Red Cross of Geneva." Evans chided his fellow dentists for being satisfied with their salaries with no thought of enriching themselves. Although Evans posed as a philanthropist, he furnished the Northerners with arms and other materials, the French with medical supplies. In both instances he made on the spot visits to see how they were used and functioned. Rene MaHeu said, "Being a realist, he put into practice Cecil Rhodes' famous phrase: "Philanthropy is an excellent thing in its way, but philanthropy plus 5 percent is much better." His real estate deals are another story - in essence they were through expropriation. How else would a dentist leave over four million gold dollars from his practice alone? Now let us turn to something anatomical - Dr. Thomas Evans' mistress. Indeed, although he lavished devoted care on his wife, he had a mistress because it was a way of life among his Royal patients and he had to complete his status, as a "man who had everything." Mery Laurent was a beautiful reddish blond actress with blue eyes, a wide-eyed look and a sensuous mouth. She gained some fame during the Exposition of 1867 when she played the role of a nude Venus and sprung from an enormous ornamented shell. A sharp tongued critic said, "Her breasts were more beautiful than her lips." She accepted an apartment from "handsome Tom" located not far from his office where he visited her everyday during the noon hour. (Her real lover came afterwards) . This cost him 5,000 F.F. per month. Many artists, poets, musicians, and authors- gathered at Mery Laurent's place- among whom were Manet and Mallarme. The works of some of these men are exhibited at the School of Dental Surgery in Philadelphia. Thomas fancied himself a member of the literati, but his prose was mediocre at best. All of this happened after the Empress Eugenie escaped from Paris in 1870 - which leads me to the next topic. Before the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, Dr. Thomas Evans, sensing the inevitable, sent his wife to Deauville to await their departure to England. In the meantime, Emperor Napoleon III and his army were captured at Sedan near the Belgian border. Understandably, Paris was in a turmoil because there would be a change of government- not by revolution from within- but by occupancy by the Prussians who were overrunning their country. To make a long and fascinating story brief, Empress Eugenie and her best friend, Madame LeBreton, asked Dr. Evans to save them d- �References References are arranged in the order quoted or paraphrased material that first appeared in the text. 1. jones, O.P.

Crane, a physician friend, decided to take them by carriage to Deauville. (This carriage is now in the New Bolton Center of the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.) The two women were disguised as feeble patients of Dr. Evans' on their way to Neuilly. They arrived about 36 hours later and were taken in by Mrs. Evans who gave them fresh clothing and linen of her own. Thomas Evans made arrangements with an English gentleman who had a yacht to cross the English channel. The crossing was treacherous - already one ship had been lost in the gale - but they made it. The Empress was taken to Chislehurst near London. Later she was joined by her son, Prince Luis Napoleon and the Emperor. Her son joined the British army to fight in Zululand where he was killed and his remains were returned to England. There was a question about the identity of the remains. The embalming was not exactly the best, so that it was difficult to identify the blackened corpse. Dr. Thomas Evans was called upon to help identify it. He did so with a small magnifying glass and said, according to his nephew's Memoirs: Gentlemen, if this is truly the remains of the late Prince Luis Napoleon we will find, as I treated him from childhood, in the upper lateral left, a gold filling which I made before her Majesty the Empress in 1869, also another gold filling in the upper small molar right. With great difficulty (the lips being dry like parchment) both were found upon examination, as testified by all those present. I am the first- to have the idea of proving the person by their death after an accident where the identity after death was uncertain. Since this, after the fire at the bazaar of Charity three dentists of the American Dental Club of Paris have been called upon. Dr. Isaac B. Davenport, his brother Dr. William L. Davenport, and Dr. John W. Spaulding rendered not only an eminent service in identity or identification but an everlasting honor to the Dental Art and Profession. Today, Thomas Evans is best known for the rescue of the Empress from a Paris mob after the disaster at Sedan, in spite of the fact that he introduced Amer:ican dentistry to all Europe. This brings out the better side of Thomas' personality. Now let us turn to the opposite side - the vain and the conceited one, according to Rainey, former curator of the Evans Museum. Thomas' eldest brother had a son John Dayley Evans, who decided to practice dentistry in Paris. He had started out in Thomas' office and then went out on his own. Somewhere along the line, he treated Pope Pius IX, who appreciated his services so much that he was created, in 1876, a hereditary Marquis of the Holy Roman Empire. John Dayley Evans petitioned the courts of Philadelphia for permission to change his name to "D'Oyley," a name derived from his mother's name "Dayley." This petition was granted and he thereafter became known as Marquis D'Oyley, but he continued to practice under the name of Evans. Thomas resented this and brought court proceedings to prevent his nephew from using the name Evans in his practice, claiming that, as he had changed his name to D'Oyley, he had forfeited his right to use the name Evans. The Tribune of the Seine supported Dr. Evans' contention, but the Superior Court of France, on appeal, reversed the decision, holding that the nephew could not divest himself of the name 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Evans, and therefore had a right to use it in his practice. (Thomas didn't know about the future Pantera dynasty in Buffalo). This decision added fuel to the flames, and when Dr. Evans' will was read, it was found that he had intentionally omitted "bequeathing my legacy to John Henry Evans" (as he was baptized) and directed that "neither he nor any of his descendants should receive any part of his estate" for reasons as well known to John Henry Evans as to him. Thomas' contributions to dental science were considerable and he furthered this work by leaving the bulk of his estate to establish the "Thomas W. Evans Museum and Dental Institute School of Dentistry, University of Pennsylvania" in 1912. What about Theodore Evans? So far, he has only been mentioned twice by his brother. He did not incur Thomas' wrath because he never practiced alone. A most fortuitous event occurred in 1977 when I visited Philadelphia to chat with Mr. Whittack at the School of Dental Medicine. Quite recently he had discovered - buried under some old books - Minutes of the Proceedings of the Faculty of the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery. He turned this over to Dr. Milton B. Asbell, who had just written a history of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Asbell knew of my interest in Theodore Evans when he ran across the following entry: 2 February 1860 Faculty meeting- all were present. Minutes of the last meeting Dec. 5, 1859 read and approved. A communication having been received from Dr. J.D. White was presented making application to have the Hon. degree conferred upon Theo. S. Evans of Paris, France. It was considered and the secretary instructed to inform Dr. White that said application is not granted. Signed W. Calvert, Sec. This request was eight years after Theodore went to work for his brother. S.S. White and Thomas Evans had been students of Dr. John deHaven White. What or who prompted deHaven White to propose Theodore for an honorary degree? Was it suggested by S.S. White? It surely could not have been initiated by Thomas because of his egocentricity. Either someone felt sorry for Theodore because he was the underling of Thomas, or Theodore himself may have asked the Whites to do it for him. This we may never know. Before getting into "Who was Theodore Evans?" - which started this merry chase through the literature - let me tell you about a letter from Dr. James Platt White, our first Professor of Midwifery, written from Madrid in 1866. He stated that there was only one resident American in that city of nearly half million population. He wrote as follows: Dr. Mackedean, a most intelligent and courteous gentleman, to whom we were under many obligations for courtesies during our stay, is a dentist of deserved celebrity. He has resided in Madrid more than twenty years, has been decorated and made dentist to the Royal family, and acquired for himself wealth and reputation ... . It is not a little remarkable that the most eminent dentists in France, Spoin and Portugal are Americans. This arises doubtless in a great measure from the fact that in European countries dentistry is simply studied and practiced as an art, whilst in America it has been elevated to a science, without diminishing the artistic skill exercised in the various manipulations of the art.

The annual reception will be at the Buffalo Convention Center from 9:30 p.m. until midnight, May 17.0 Dr. James Platt White returned to America and the next time we hear about Theodore Evans is in the Minute Book of the medical faculty dated 25 February 1868, when Dr. White recommended to the Faculty of the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo, that an honorary M.D. degree be awarded him. Dr. James P. White was undoubtedly the most influential member of the Medical Faculty. When I wrote the article about "Honorary Medical Degrees," I was forced to surmise that Theodore Evans was an acquaintance Dr. White had made during his 1866 visit to Paris. Unfortunately, White did not mention Theodore Evans in his letters to The Buffalo Medical Journal. Dr. White had been in Paris before going to Madrid and could very well have been impressed by what the Evanses were doing in dentistry. Since Dr. White was not of royalty, he could have come in contact- as a patient- with Theodore Evans. Then, too, there was the American Register, founded and subsidized by Dr. Thomas Evans, which published the activities and interests of the growing American colony. White's letter from Madrid was certainly based on more experiences with the dental profession than just one encounter with the only American dentist in Madrid at that time. As a matter of fact, his remarks about the superiority of American dentists in Europe are reminiscent of what Thomas Evans said 20 years previously about his experiences with the King of Bavaria. It is interesting that in some genealogical tablets of the Family Evans, there is a D.D.S. after Theodore's name but no mention of the honorary M.D. degree awarded by the University of Buffalo which may have been included in the et cetra. Theodore was rejected for an honorary dental degree in Philadelphia and there is no evidence that he ever received an earned dental degree. Maybe he was like his illustrious brother who embellished his name with an M.D. degree. I tried to trace some consanguinity between Samuel Stockton, John deHaven and James Platt White. The latter was a lineal descendant of Peregrine White, who was born aboard the Mayflower in Provincetown Harbor in 1620- the first white child born in New England. Samuel Stockton's paternal ancestor left England between 1639 and 1649 and settled in Virginia. John deHaven was not related to S.S. White. However, there may have been some consanguinity for these three prior to the 17th century. Besides the honorary degree bestowed upon Theodore Evans by the University of Buffalo, he was a Knight of The Imperial Order of St. Stanislaus of Russia. He died in 1890 at the age of 69 and is buried at Neuilly, Seine near Paris. Finally, we now know something about who Theodore Sewell Evans was, but we do not know what prompted Dr. James Platt White to recommend him for an honorary M.D. degree. Theodore, working in the shadow of his illustrious brother, certainly needed something to enhance his ego, because he was denied an honorary degree in dentistry.O 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Ronald J. Kallen, M'60, an authority on pediatric nephrology and the physician who wrote the National Kidney Foundation's information brochure on nephrosis, has joined the medical staff of Mt. Sinai Hospital as assistant director, department of pediatrics, and a consultant in pediatric nephrology. His 14-page brochure, "Questions Parents Ask About Nephrosis," has become a nationally-distributed handbook which details the answers about a kidney disorder that strikes children usually between the ages of one and six. The Scottish-born physician, who grew up in Newark, N.J., graduated from Oberlin College and the University of Buffalo School of Medicine. He served his internship and residencies at Chicago's Michael Reese Hospital, where he was a postdoctoral fellow in pediatric nephrology. He later did pediatric research for Johns Hopkins Hospital with its cholera unit in Calcutta, India. Dr. Kallen was honored with the Golden Kidney Teaching Award from the Division of Hypertension and Nephrology at Cleveland Clinic, where he was on the staff from September 1975 until his recent appointment at Mt. Sinai. He was earlier affiliated with La Rabida Children's Hospital in Chicago, the University of Chicago Hospitals and Clinics and Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. An assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, he formerly was on the medical school faculties of the University of Chicago and the University of Southern California. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, a member of the Society of Pediatric Research and several other professional organizations. An active member of the Kidney Foundation of Ohio, Dr. Kallen is a consultant to the interhospital television network of the Greater Cleveland Hospital Association and author of many articles and scientific publications in his field.D 1981 Continuing Medical Education Programs April 4 - "Vascular Surgery for Cerebral Ischemia" (Erie County Medical Center), Program Director, Dr. George Alker, Clinical professor of radiology; clinical associate professor of nuclear medicine.

SPRING, 1981 19 Dr. Ronald Kallen Dr. Kallen �Air Contrast Studies There is more accurate diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases in Western New York. It is the result of modified air contrast studies by Dr. Maria Andres at the Erie County Medical Center. She is also associate professor of radiology at the Medical School. The modified studies by the radiologist-gastrointerologist not only lead to detection of early cancer but early inflammatory disease of the GI tract as well. It was in Italy, at the University of Rome, while doing research on the physiology of the GI tract that she was introduced to air contrast studies. In 1973 the Drs. Andres family moved to Buffalo, Dr. Guiseppe continued his work in pathology, Dr. Maria began a radiology residency at the "Meyer" Hospital and to introduce air contrast studies to Buffalo and to improve them. She notes the modified procedure to be 85 per cent successful in pinpointing tumors/polyps less than a centimeter in size. And, she said, "there is less error in detecting peptic ulcer disease." When the procedure is combined with colonoscopy, she notes detection of diseases in the lower GI tract to be more accurate. She notes the 15-minute procedure to be more comfortable for the patient. The patient takes special barium, its route followed by fluoroscope. Then air, injected through a pumplike pressor, assures all parts of the patient's colon are coated. "Viewing the entire colon," Dr. Andres said, "is so important to diagnose tumors in the upper and lower GI tract." At the medical center, the referral site for air contrast studies, she is teaching the technique to radiology residents. Here, between 13 to 25 procedures may be performed daily. While Dr. Andres no longer has time for research, clinical pathology is rewarding. "Talking to patients, trying to be a sleuth, that's most exciting," she said.O Dr. Maria Andres reviews X-rays with senior medical students Richard Grazi, Howard Sklarek and Moshe Siev and resident Anne Ehrlich. �Dr. Myron Gordon Dr. Myron Gordon, has been appointed professor and chairman of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Albany Medical College and obstetrician and gynecologist-in-chief at Albany Medical Center Hospital. Dr. Gordon attended Brown University and received his medical degree from the University of Buffalo School of Medicine in 1948. He served his residency in surgery and obstetrics and gynecology at the New York Medical College-Flower and Fifth Avenue Hospital from 1950-54, and was certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1956. Prior to joining the staff of the medical center, Dr. Gordon was vice chairman of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at New York Medical College. He had served at that institution since 1956, and was appointed professor in 1975. In addition to his faculty appointments, Dr. Gordon was also chief of obstetrics and gynecological services at the Metropolitan Hospital Center and acting director of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Westchester County Medical Society. He had additional affiliations at the Bird S. Coler Hospital and Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. An active researcher, Dr. Gordon has completed a number of studies concentrating in the areas of infection, vitamin metabolism in pregnancy, high risk pregnancy and family planning. While in New York City, he served on medical advisory committees in Planned Parenthood on a local and national level and on the Obstetrical Advisory Committee to the Commissioner of Health. He authored and contributed to more than 50 publications, chapters, teaching aids and books. Dr. Gordon is an active member of numerous professional societies including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, The American College of Surgeons, the New York Obstetrical Society, The New York Gynecological Society, the Medical Society of the State of New York and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics. He is an honorary member of the Buffalo Obstetrical and Gynecological Society having presented the James Platt White, M.D. Memorial Lecture this past April. Dr. Gordon is well known to many of the obstetrician/gynecologists in middle and western New York State from his service as District II Chairman of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.D SPRING, 1981 21 Dr. Gordon �Early Human Genetics Dr. Vi ctor Cohen, C.K. Huang Jun e Bande mer, Lindo Lohr, Shirley Hessle in, all librarians. D r . R o bin Bann e rman , professo r of m e di cin e!pediotrics. Dr. Bannerman pointed out that the history of human genetics is relatively recent. Although the Greek philosophers had pronounced on matters of reproduction and heredity, and despite the long human interest in genealogy, the recognition and analysis of human genetic traits became systematic only in the 20th century. Among few exceptions cited was the recognition by early Jewish scholars of the risk that fatal bleeding following circumcision might recur in successive male children - presumably due to hemophilia. The pattern of inheritance of hemophilia was recognized very early in the 19th century but only in a pragmatic way. The rediscovery of Mendel's theory provided a system within which human genetics could properly develop. However, even before that rediscovery, a massive piece of the background of genetics was developing in England through the studies and writings of two cousins, Charles Darwin and Francis Galton. Dr. Bannerman devoted much of his talk to Galton, whose contribution is not always well recognized. Younger than Darwin, he was much influenced by him, and on reading Darwin's "The Origin of Species," wrote that he "shed the wretched burden of original sin." Both the cousins had some medical training, but neither graduated as a physician. Both were independently wealthy. Both were much influenced by travel. Before he finally concentrated his attentions on heredity, Galton travelled in Africa and wrote on African geography and botany. He contributed to developments in meteorology and photography. Galton's greatest contribution, however, was to create a science of quantitative human genetics. To achieve this he developed statistical methods to handle distribution and comparison, which we now all use including the methods of regression (his term) and correlation. Galton's first major and long remembered publication in this field was the curious book "Hereditary Genius." He regretted this title throughout his later life, since it was concerned with various types of ability not only mental performance. He attempted to correlate the familial aggregation of different kinds of abilities and accumulated a variety of examples from historical and contemporary research. They included families of judges, writers and musicians, but also oarsmen, cricket players and many others. No very tight conclusions were drawn in the book but he provided a mass of circumstantial and anecdotal evidence suggesting that intellectual capacity and other special abilities had a large hereditary component. This may now seem an unsurprising conclusion, but to Charles Darwin it was striking, and he wrote of the book "I do not think I ever in all my life read anything more interesting and original." 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The questions and ideas generated by this work dominated much of Galton's later efforts and led him to attempt to introduce quantitative methods to estimate and compare traits which vary. These are traits which cannot at first sight be handled in Mendelian terms. In seeking to separate the effects of "nature and nurture" (a phrase he borrowed from Shakespeare), he was one of the first to use the twin method. His efforts to examine and compare individual differences led him into the study of fingerprints and he contributed notably to their useful application. He was influential in fingerprinting being introduced into police work, first in India, then France and Egypt and finally by Scotland Yard. Galton is probably best known outside human genetics for his invention of the term "Eugenics" and espousal of that difficult cause . He coined the word in 1883. His original practical conceptions were positive, to attempt to choose desirable people and to encourage them to procreate. He was well aware of the presumption implied and decidedly humble about it. The positive approach involved helping potentially desirable parents by social, moral and material means. He aimed to represent each class or type within a population, to achieve variety not uniformity, and to consider physical health, ability and character. This was to be a "practical religion. " The subsequent history of eugenics is well known. Over-enthusiastic followers led to its discredit and the misuse of eugenic ideas in legislation in several countries, including the United States, and by Nazi Germany, led almost to its abandonment as a practical cause. Dr. Bannerman emphasized that we should remember Galton less for eugenics than for his many contributions to sciences, particularly to the quantitative study of man. He pointed out that the two original main currents of human genetics, the quantitative or Galtonian, and the Mendelian, at first progressed along parallel and even hostile lines. Thus, for a time, Galtonists and Mendelists argued their causes as if each were the unique basis of human genetics. Galton himself deplored this division since he was aware of Mendel's work and admired it. In his autobiography written when he was in his 70's he included a warm tribute to Mendel with whom he felt "sentimentally connected" from their having been born the same year, 1822. However, the connection between Mendelian principles and Galton's own quantitative work was not made until Sir Ronald Fisher's classic paper of 1918 reconciled the two themes by establishing what now seems a simple idea, that graded characters such as height could be due to the effects of multiple alleles (genes), each contributing to the final outcome. Finally, Dr. Bannerman talked briefly on the beginnings of human biochemical genetics in the work of Archibald Garrod, who is generally much better known to modern students. Garrod's great achievement was to perceive the application of Mendelian genetics to human disease. His emphasis on unitary chemical differences led to the current idea of one gene- one peptide. He was the first to sense and make us aware of the immense range of chemical variation in man. He viewed the evidently rare human recessive biochemical diseases only as specific examples, of extreme variation in human chemistry. Garrod brings us to modern times.D SPRING, 1981 23 Dr. Erwin Neier visits with his colleagues.

When the current academic year began, something new was added for first year medical students. Each student was given a choice among nine separate options to participate in a small group seminar along with the regular first year courses. The seminars were oriented to socio-medical problems about which many students were already concerned. With the approval of the Curriculum Committee and then the Faculty Council, the "selectives" as they have become known, became a part of the curriculum just this year. The Curriculum Committee requires that each program meet three criteria: 1) that they deal with a socio-medical problem, 2) that it be multidisciplinary in character, 3) that the topic area is currently underrepresented in the curriculum. In addition, the selectives were expected to meet in small groups allowing students greater opportunity to participate actively in class and to get to know the faculty members well. In a number of the selectives, students also have the opportunity to visit clinical facilities and interact with patients. Each selective is sponsored by a multi-disciplinary Education Committee appointed by the Dean. The selectives and their sponsoring committees include: Education Comm. Chairperson Selective Coordinator Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Education Committee Dr. P. Gessner Alcohol & Substance Abuse Dr. P. Gessner Cancer Education Committee Dr. J. Wright Dr. R.

Evaluations were undertaken last year after five of the Selectives were conducted on a pilot basis and during the first semester this year. The student response has been encouraging. Selectives certainly have increased the amount of discussion, presentations, problem-solving, and clinical experiences in the first year. It is expected that as the small groups of students become knowledgeable in each of these subject areas, the students will stimulate faculty and fellow students to become more aware of the issues involved. Faculty members who would like to learn more about these activities or wish to contribute to them, are urged to contact the chairpersons of the Education Committees.D Cost effectiveness is the topic of Ms. Jane Mathews . •. SPRING, 1981 25 �' I The panel: Richard Smith and James Brank, 4th year students; Dr. Linda Pessar; Judith Pryce, 4th year student; Drs. Steve Wear, David Klein. The Clinical Years " D uring your clinical years you will be dealing with people and you can apply the knowledge that you have learned to your patients." This is what Dr. Leonard Katz told the 155 third year students at the third annual one-half day of orientation. The students started their clinical rotations the next day at the teaching hospitals. Three senior medical students - James Bronk, Judithann Pryce and Richard Smith - outlined briefly some of their experiences. They all agreed that "it was different from the first two years, but they enjoyed every minute. Most of your clinical experiences will be good. Be punctual, and remember your appearance is important. You will have responsibility, but utilize your preceptor and the residents. Talk to the patients and be a data collector." There were two audio-visual presentations - "Please Let Me Die," and "Who Should Survive" - were shown and discussed. The first featured a 27-year-old man who was severely burned and had lost his eye sight. The second featured a new born baby with Down's Syndrome (mongolism). Drs. David M. Klein, associate professor of neurosurgery, Linda Pessar, assistant professor of psychiatry, and Steven Wear, led the discussion during the question and answer period. 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �' I "This is an example of the clinical problems that you folks will face daily. You must know your own feelings and the feelings of your patients," Dr. Klein said. Seven entering fifth pathway medical students were introduced by Dr. John Richert, assistant dean. They are: Mark L. Bilowus, Joseph A. DiChiara, Charles M. Harden Jr., Frederick C. Holton, John E. Nichols, Anthony F. Perna, Warren H . Williams. Dr. Richert also introduced and praised Elaine Healy as the editor of the first medical school student handbook. She is a third year student. Dr. Klein mentioned that during his medical education the emphasis was upon how students inter-acted with physicians. "There was no talk about inter-acting with patients. Today it is important that we look at how we treat people. The public demands that we do. In treating people you have many options, but you have a public responsibility because you are using public resources. Everyday we face difficult situations - join the club." Dr. Thomas Raab, M'77, who recently finished his residency at the VA, told the students to challenge everything- "what you see and what you don't see. Use the show me type of approach. Ask questions and don't be put off and use all the resources at your command- textbooks, preceptors and residents. You are part of a team." Dr. Evan Calkins, chairman of the 3rd year evaluation process told the students what would be expected of them and how they would be evaluated and reviewed. "Half way through your rotation an evaluation will be made of your strengths and weaknesses. You will have a chance to discuss this with your preceptor and make adjustments." Other faculty members who discussed briefly theii; respective disciplines were: Drs. Erika Bruck, professor of pediatricsemeritus; Joseph T. Aquilina, M'41, clinical professor of medicine; Elliot Ellis, professor and chairman of pediatrics; Worthington Schenk Jr., professor and chairman of surgery; James Evans, research assistant professor of surgery; James O'Leary, professor and chairman, Ob/Gyn; and Marcos Gallego, associate professor of Ob/Gyn.D Drs.

That is what the editor of the New England Journal of Medicine told medical students and faculty at an informal round-table session. Dr. Arnold Reiman went on to say that our articles must be concise, solid, convincing and understood by the non-specialist. In his one-hour presentation Dr. Reiman traced briefly the history and the editorial policy of his prestigious journal. My function as editor is to "listen and learn." Dr. Reiman believes his readers are interested in all areas of medicine. "After reading our journal two or three years a person will know everything that is going on in medicine. The interface between medicine and society is very important. That is why 15 to 20 percent of our articles are not technical. "The Journal takes no official editorial stand. We don't speak for any organization. Our editorials are signed by the person who writes them and are his opinion only. The editorial policies are independent and determined by the editors, not by the Massachusettes state society of medicine. We are not afraid of any opinion as long as it is temperate. We have taken both conservative and radical stands and everything in between." He noted that one of the ways science advances is through articles that are original, interesting and have reasonable data- but often the data may be wrong or only partially true. Dr. Relman has weekly meetings with his four associate and three deputy editors. Once a month the full editorial board of 20 or 25 people meet. We call on the best people in the United States to review articles and many times they disagree. When this happens it is up to the editor to make the decision. "As editor I must listen and then take a stand. And inevitably I make some mistakes." We are not super humans and we are always open to rebuttal. My job is not censuring, but more of a traffic cop who sorts things out," Dr. Reiman said. Dr. Reiman's other observations: - editing is a full time job, fun but time consuming; - a journal should be physically attractive and readable; - we give priority to medical articles that have not been published; five months is the average time from submission of an article until it is published; our role is educational; most of the articles are unsolicited; 90 per cent are rejected and 85 per cent of these are published in other respectable journals; we don't use many illustrations (only certain pictures are worth 1,000 words]; - we get thousands of letters to the editor and they are often the most interesting part of the journal; printing costs are high and we have a space problem; we are interested in articles about sociology, law, economics and philosophy; medical literature is a true reflection of activity in the biomedical research establishment. In conclusion Dr. Reiman said, "if you want to be well informed read five or six journals - specialty and general regularly. The job of keeping up is not as overwhelming as people make it out."O 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Robe rt P.

"BGH - 125 Years of Caring" is the theme displayed on two Hospital flags that were raised for the first time during separate ceremonies at the Buffalo General Division, 100 High Street, and the Deaconess Hospital Division, 1001 Humboldt Parkway. Ma yor James Griffin, County Executive Edward Rutkowski, \lnd Buffalo Councilman David Collins participated in the ceremony along with Dr. William V. Kinnard, Jr., hospital president, and Daniel A.

The original hospital building on High Street was dedicated in 1858 by former United States president, Millard Fillmore. In 1863, the United States government commissioned The Buffalo General Hospital as a U.S. Army Hospital which treated more than 850 Union soldiers during the Civil War. Buffalo General also served U.S. soldiers of WWI and WWII by sponsoring the 23rd Army General Hospital stationed in Europe - one of only 65 American-based units to serve overseas. In Western New York, the first successful open heart surgery (1960) and the first successful kidney transplant (1964) were performed at The Buffalo General Hospital. Among these achievements stands the nationally recognized merger between the Buffalo General and Deaconess Hospitals (1979) which created one of the largest health care systems in the United States. As the Buffalo General Hospital enters into its 125th year, its future holds the realization of the $166.4 million modernization and building program which received unanimous approval by the Western New York Health Systems Agency in September. The program is now waiting final approval from the New York State Health Planning Committee.D SPRING, 1981 29 Dr. M icha el F. Noe, Dani el A.

McCullough, Ph.D. lf I were to be asked to describe in a single metaphor the topography of ethical issues encountered in decisions regarding the treatment of defective newborn infants, it would be that of a moral thicket. Perhaps an even better way to characterize those issues would be in terms of a briar patch. In what follows I shall attempt to get clear, as philosophers put it, on the character of those issues and to take a position with respect to some of the more important among them. To follow out the metaphor, I should say that I do not expect to emerge from this enterprise unscathed. I only hope that the scratches will be, while surely painful, nonetheless illuminating. The ethical issues to be considered are many. They can perhaps best be put in the form of questions. Should all defective infants be intensively treated? If we are convinced that such a practice is itself morally unacceptable, then other questions arise. Which defective infants should be treated and which should not? What criteria should be employed to determine which defective infants are appropriate candidates for treatment or nontreatment? Still more questions could be asked about who should be given final authority to decide which defective infants shall be treated and which shall not. The parents? Doctors? An ethics committee in the hospital? The courts? If I understand them correctly, all of these questions have a single focus: the moral status of infants generally and of defective or handicapped infants in particular. Let's sharpen that focus still further, into a single question: What moral obligations do we owe to defective newborn infants? By way of an answer, let us consider the following case, reported as a case of notencephale (notencephalocele) by a Dr. Charles Hildreth of Boston in 1834.' moned. Before the messenger had left the house, the head had passed the external organs. So little pain did she suffer in the descent of the head- the presenting part being very smaJJ - that she was deceived as to its proximity. Occuring in the night and residing at the distance of a mile, half an hour elapsed before our arrival. We found the child born, completely enveloped in membranes, with its lower extremities yet in the vagina. From the position, we concluded the birth had taken place with the face to the pubes. The membranes yet enveloping the head and body, were so entire and adhered so very close, that the least admissions of air to the lungs was quite prevented. Two female friends were present, but they had offered no assistance. There was no pulsation in the funis umbilicalis. Discovering the monstrosity, we concluded not to attempt the inflation of the lungs ; which would probably not have been successful for reasons ta be mentioned when describing the brain. The mother felt the motion of its arms beneath the membranes for fifteen or twenty minutes after birth. "From A Case of Notencephale," by Charles Hildreth, Boston, 1834, courtesy of the Moody Medical Library, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston." l'•oJI ,.,.,. January 15th, labor came on at one A .M. Having so often disappointed her friends, she waited until 4 A.M., when she requested that we might be sum- 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �After a detailed discussion of the anatomy of this "monstrosity," Dr. Hildreth had this to say. From the motions succeeding birth, may not the position be maintained, that there was a medulla oblongata, more or Jess perfectly developed, and if so, might not its seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting, also have been moderately perfect? It would not have possessed the powers of locomotion from their being no spinal cord; and although the organs of generation were perfect, yet, if the cerebellum holds that influence over their existence which we believe it does, they could never have sustained their appropriate and important functions. But we are going too far to suppose anything like the establishment of animal existence, where there is so signal a deficiency in the essential organs of the cerebral system, whose just adaptation to each other is so highly requisite to the continuance of the vegetative functions, the performance of muscular and sensitive motions and the more important manifestations of mental life. While Dr. Hildreth's language may be archaic the concepts expressed in it are very interesting. He has adopted the traditional Aristotelian account of human gestation, in which vegetative, animal, and rational "souls" or forms come to be present in a human being. That is, we would say, there are manifestations in levels of mental capacity of stages of successively more complex organization of the gestating human being's central nervous system. This gestation is completed with the development of a fully intact and functioning central nervous system, which we know to be completed about one year after birth. 2 At this stage in human development, we can say that a person is present. That is, one might argue on Dr. Hildreth's behalf that when a human being is an entity capable of later valuing itself and therefore of having rights, it is an entity to whom we now owe serious moral obligations. What Dr. Hildreth is saying, in so many words, is that this infant was so profoundly damaged that it could never become a person. It could never have the mental capacity to value itself or perhaps to have rights. As a consequence, it does not have the moral status requisite to generate strong obligations to it. In particular, our moral obligations regarding its treatment are radically diminished, thus justifying Dr. Hildreth's decision not to resuscitate this infant. I find Dr. Hildreth's reasoning about this case rather remarkable, if only because he SPRING, 1981 anticipates by well over a century the line of reasoning already implicit in much of contemporary medical decision-making. Consider, for example, the recent developments of a brain death oriented definition of death. 3 Such definitions clearly imply that when there is irreversible cessation of brain function, a person is no longer present. Thus, there is no obligation to sustain life in the body of the (now) dead person. That is, cognitive or mental capacity seems to be tied to moral status. To return to the topic at hand, we can say that decisions not to treat defective infants, whether based on well-established criteria or less well-founded clinical judgments, imply a diminished moral status for the defective infant. When that moral status is substantially diminished, it would seem, so is our obligation to treat defective infants. Dr. Hildreth's reasoning and the various sets of criteria for non-treatment of spina bifida infants adopt exactly this logic. In short, clinical judgments incorporate moral judgments focusing on the moral status of the defective infant. The problem, of course, is that we disagree about what the moral status of defective infants should be. Philosophical ethics has bearing here, in that it suggests two complementary ways of understanding that sta,tus and the obligations it grounds. That is, philosophical ethics offers a way of getting clear on that status and of analyzing arguments in support of different views. The first line of reasoning, known as deontological ethics, grounds obligations in rights. In the present context the right to treatment is at stake. On one view this right holds without exceptions: we are absolutely obligated to treat all defective infants. This is the moral logic of a save-all policy. On another view, this right is a limited one; it has legitimate exceptions. This, by contrast, is the moral logic of an approach that employs criteria for nontreatment. The second line of reasoning used to ground obligations, called teleological or consequentialist ethics, turns on considerations of value and bears directly on the justification of the criteria for non-treatment. These criteria are, that is, based on considerations of quality of life, clearly a value question. Now, the quality or more exactly the value of an infant's life can, in turn, be understood in one of two ways. First, and (morally) foremost, we can speak of the value or disvalue a defective in31 d- �,fant's life will come to have for itself as it grows into maturity. A second and in my view a clearly subsidiary consideration is the value, or most often the disvalue, a defective infant's life will have for others: parents, hospital staff, long-term care and residential institutions, and finally society at large. Using the language of philosophical ethics, we are able to set out clearly the topography of ethical issues in the neonatal nursery. The elements of this topography are worthy of close scrutiny. The school of thought that grounds our obligations to defective infants in an absolute right to treatment takes the view that every human being, even if it is profoundly damaged, is a full member of the moral community. Thus, we are cautioned not to stray into the murky waters of diminished moral status. If we should do so, then we may come to treat normal and defective infants differentially. As Paul Ramsey warns, we then in a manner of speaking "take advantage" of life-threatening conditions, to let mentally subnormal children die, while treating normal infants with the same physically life-threatening condition. As Ramsey puts it: In medical care, we rightly compare treatments in order to decide what is indicated as responsible activity on the part of those who are still living toward those who are now dying. But we ought not to compare and contrast the persons- the patients who are dying - with one another in other respects. We have no moral right to choose that some live and others die, when the medical indications for treatment are the same. • That is, no one should be accorded the moral prerogative to determine another's worth and thus risk diminishment of his or her moral status. To buttress this line of reasoning, one could argue along the following more pragmatic lines. Medicine is not (yet) in a position to predict with anything resembling scientific accuracy the quality of life in every respect, in particular mental capacity after treatment of an infant's (physical) defects, though it may be able to predict to a great extent the nature of future physical handicaps. What can be predicted with reliable accuracy is that some infants will not survive no matter what interventions have been made. In these cases there is no obligation to treat since no treatment will work. Indeed, treatment in such cases may only prolong the dying process, as it might, say, in the case where the degeneration 32 of Tay-Sachs disease has already begun. To return to Paul Ramsey, his conclusion about such matters is this: "No treatment is indicated when none exists that can do no more than prolong dying."s But even in cases where treatment can be effected, others argue that the above mentioned lack of predictability of outcome must be considered. Speaking to the issue of spina bifida, Soare and Raimondi remark: Since we cannot know, at birth, whether the specific child being evaluated will respond favorably to adequate and consistent treatment, it is presumptuous and dangerous to withhold treatment, selecting some children for euthanasia."• What this school of thought must overlook, of course, is the results of the save-all policy it endorses. Some who have held to such a policy in the past have come to change their minds, principally because of the suffering they observed among children who were most seriously damaged. As Dr. Lorber has put it: "Treating all babies, without selection, resulted in massive suffering for a large number in spite of massive effort of large and devoted teams." 7 The suffering he refers to is of two kinds, first that caused by mental retardation and second the experiences of the mentally normal child with severe physical handicaps. Lorber concludes with a question: Is it right to allow technique to triumph over reason and compassion? The doctor's primary duty is to do the best for his patient. Normally, this means saving his life. But saving or prolonging life is not necessarily the best for all patients and may be actively harmful. • The moral logic of this view is the following. We begin with the assumption that every infant has the right, but not an absolute one, to treatment. That is, the infant has a presumptive but limited right to treatment. The limits der've from an assessment in terms of the quality of life of the outcome of treatment. When that outcome is fraught with harm and suffering or a diminished quality of life purchased at the price of great pain and suffering, then there may be no obligation to treat, because it would be unreasonable to do so. The debate about the criteria for treatment or non-treatment of spina bifida infants, for example, centers on just this point: do criteria-whatever they might be- predict outcomes that are morally unacceptable and thus not medically indicated? I doubt that anyone knows for sure. Even Dr. Lorber, and THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �then only in his most robust moments, claims only to be able to predict "the least amount of handicap any infant is going to have." 9 The most that this could mean, the literature seems to indicate, is that we can predict the least physical handicap, for example, the level of paralysis and incontinence of a baby born with spina bifida. Even if we could satisfy the critics of accurate predictability, we would not have accomplished enough, for physical handicaps seem the lesser consideration in determinations of quality of life. It is mental or cognitive handicaps and capacity that trouble us, just as they troubled Dr. Hildreth in the Boston of one hundred and forty-six years ago. By way of illustration, consider the following, based on a case presented at the Georgetown University Forum on Mental Retardation and Ethics:' 0 Baby boy, N, was delivered by a gravida 2, para 1, AB 0 mother. N presented with a myelomeningocele in the lumbar sacral region, extending to L4. He was transferred within hours of his birth to the spina bifida service in a university hospital. The father was contacted by the spina bifida service while the mother remained in the hospital where she had delivered her baby. Both parents were thirty-two years of age, the father a research scientist and the mother a successful attorney. CT scan revealed no hydrocephalus and acceptable brain mantle thickness. There was no lacunar skull deformity and no kyphosis. The parents were told of their child's condition, of the nature of the physical handicaps the child would face, and the possibility that their child could be mentally retarded. The spina bifida team agreed that this child should be treated but the parents refused permission for the pediatric neurosurgeon to repair the wound. During intensive counseling over a period of two days they stated repeatedly that, if the doctors could not guarantee them a normal baby, then they did not want it treated. It became clear to members of the spina bifida team that "normal baby" meant principally a baby with no mental retardation. The parents were offered the opportunity of a second opinion, which they reluctantly accepted. The consultant's report confirmed the diagnosis and findings and also recommended treatment. The parents, however, still refused treatment. Finally, the spina bifida team reiterated their view that the infant was a good candidate for treatment and that, if the parents persisted in their refusal, a court order for treatment would be sought. At this point, three days after the baby's birth, the parents changed their minds and consen ted to treatment. In this case the primary focus is on the infant's future quality of life. The parents, apparently, judge it to be unacceptably low, while the spina bifida team does not. One suspects that in this case, and in many cases of defective infants, the parents conflate considerations of the infant's value of life for SPRING, 1981 itself with its value (or disvalue) for themselves." Parents, for example, might have bizarre attitudes about genetics that lead them to conclude that somehow something about themselves is fundamentally flawed. Or, as my colleague at Georgetown, Dr. Warren Reich, has put it to me, parents may be embarrassed or affronted by a defective infant. The medical team, by contrast, focuses on the value of the infant's life for itself and not for others. That they were quite willing in this case to seek a court order for treatment makes this clear. My own view is that this is indeed the proper focus to take. Respect for persons, ~ven if they are somehow diminished in their moral status, demands as a minimum that we give equal and fair consideration to defective infants. By this I mean that a focus on the value or disvalue of a defective infant's life for others means that the infant is not considered equally or fairly with respect to all other infants, normal infants in particular. So the proper route through the moral thicket outlined above should exclude consideration of the value or disvalue for others of the infant's life. Now, if I am correct about this point, we have gained some clarity. It is the value of the infant's life for itself and not for others about which we want to be able to make predictions. And those predictions are about (1) whether a defective infant can become a person with a value for itself and rights, and (2) to what extent it will become a person. That is, persons come to be on a continuum, from substantially diminished persons to full persons. Along this continuum I would like to identify five categories that are morally significant for clinical decisions. 1. Some infants, as pointed out earlier, will die no matter what treatment is employed. The logic of our moral obligations in such cases is clear: when it is impossible to fulfill an obligation there is no obligation. Thus, whether one holds that infants have an absolute or a limited right to treatment, it is justifiable not to treat those infants for whom treatment is a hopeless course from the outset or is discovered to be so later, as it might be in the case of severe respiratory distress or serious heart defects. 12 2. Some infants are, as my colleague in the Kennedy Institute of Ethics, Richard McCormick, has said, submerged in the struggle to 33 d- �survive.U That is, all of their energy goes into the task of merely surviving. One's person in such cases never has the chance to develop. In such cases, therefore, it is justified not to treat, since the outcome one tends to achieve for any treatment, the emergence of some level of person, cannot be achieved. McCormick illustrates his position by considering the case of an infant born with congenital heart anomalies, respiratory distress, an esophegeal-tracheal fistula, and probable brain damage. The immediately lifethreatening condition, the fistula, need not be closed, one could justifiably argue, since doing so will not save a person but only prolong unnecessarily the struggle to survive. 3. Some infants will not be submerged in the struggle to survive but will suffer terribly: they will have profound mental retardation and serious physical defects. At best they will achieve a very diminished level of personal development and what they do achieve will be constantly frustrated by their physical handicaps. A spina bifida infant fulfilling three or more of the criteria set out by Lorber 14 or by Ames and Schutt 5 would appear to fall into this category, especially one with a high lesion and chronic hydropcephaluis at birth. In such cases, we are hard-pressed to give reasons justifying treatment, since the level of personal development will, at its best, be unreasonably low: no one would accept it for themselves. This is so not simply because the child will be retarded but that its retardation will be compromised even further by severe physical handicaps: whatever already small mental and cognitive capacities the infant may have will not be able to be developed as much as they might have in the absence of the physical impediments. Thus, the proper goals of treatment most likely cannot be achieved or would at best be frustrated. Hence, it would be unreasonable to treat and thus not obligatory to do so. 4. Some infants will be handicapped and will suffer somewhat as a result. Two sorts of cases come to mind. First, an infant might be mildly retarded as well as moderately physically handicapped. Second, an infant might have normal mental and cognitive capacity but be physically handicapped. Hence it it important to recognize that mental retardation occurs on a continuum and that when physical handicaps are not severe, the prospects for a good outcome for a retarded 34 child will be high. That is, the child's developmental capacities will not be limited by physical handicaps but only by the mental retardation itself which is not fixed in its nature. In the second case, one's developmental capacities will be impeded by a minor, hence manageable, physical handicap. Such infants should be treated. Now, implicit in this recommendation is that reduced mental capacity by itself cannot be regarded as a significant harm or disvalue for the individual characterized by it. I say this because I do not see any reasonable way for us to assess the moral status of mental retardation in and of itself. Those of us who have normal or above average mental and cognitive capacities tend to think of mental retardation as a radical diminishment of what we know and have experienced. And, naturally, we place a great disvalue on that diminishment. But is this the correct perspective from which to view the nature of mental retardation? I think not. The problem of unreasonably high standards of normalcy, among some groups in our society, should make us suspicious of the answer "yes" to this question. Consider, again, baby boy N. His parents no doubt looked on mental retardation from the perspective of a research scientist and a successful attorney, neither of which they probably thought their son could ever become if he were retarded. The perspectives taken by medical staff, doctors especially, are similarly unreasonably high. 16 What we need, if we are to determine the value of life for the mentally retarded person, him or herself, is a perspective taken from within the texture of experience of the mentally retarded individual. That is, if diminished mental and cognitive status is all one will ever know (and I am not sure that even this is the correct way to think about mental retardation). then how can that diminishment - by itself- be a harm, evil, or disvalue for that individual? For myself, I do not see how it could be. Indeed, we who need an answer cannot answer this question at all. If it is indeed true that we cannot establish the very perspective we require to make the needed moral judgment about the mental status of mental retardation, then that judgment should not be made. Now, a possible exception to this view might be the case where an infant will become profoundly retarded, THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �where that term means, among other things, that the infant will not really be able to develop even to the minimum point of valuing itself. The problem, of course, is that there are no reliable clinical criteria for predicting future levels of mental development in the first days of life. Until such criteria are developed- and it is not clear that we will be able to do so - we should take the view that we cannot determine for retarded infants what the value of their life will be for them. The only exception is in the third category, where the physical handicaps are so severe that even what (little) development could take place is constantly frustrated. In such cases treatment may not be reasonable because it does not succeed in removing developmental impedients of a physical kind. But, where mental retardation alone is the outcome of concern, then there are no grounds for nontreatment. Thus an infant with Down's syndrome and, say, duodenal atresia, should be treated. 5. Finally, some (indeed most) infants will not suffer. They will be normal or, if defective at all, only in minor physical ways. These infants, of course, should be treated. Let me now summarize what I have said. It is because some birth defects imply a diminished mental and cognitive development of an infant's person that we question whether we owe them the same obligations regarding treatment that we owe to infants born without such afflictions. Some answer the question by insisting on an absolute right to treatment of all infants, regardless of the nature of their defects and regardless of the suffering that ensues. Others answer the question by taking the view that sometimes treatment is not worth it for the afflicted infant. In doing so they have already crossed a moral divide, to the view that the right to treatment is legitimately limited by quality of life considerations. I am willing to cross this moral divide. Indeed, I feel compelled to do so because of the considerations above about the first three categories. But in doing so I want to take seriously the kind of warnings Ramsey and others have issued: to err may be human but we should want to reduce error in clinical judgment to a minimum, so that if we must err we will do so on the side of treatment. That is, the burden of proof in all cases rests on those who decide not to treat. This concern undergirds the five categories I have SPRING, 1981 offered. In the first two, the logic of moral obligation collapses and it is justified not to treat infants falling under them. The infant in Dr. Hildreth's case is in the first category. This is not to say we necessarily do something wrong by treating these infants if parents request that we do. But we also do nothing wrong by allowing these infants to die at their parents' request. The moral logic of the last two categories is also clear. Infants in these two classes should be treated regardless of parental wishes. Since baby boy N falls into the fourth category, the medical staff were correct to oppose the parents' refusal. That refusal was not rational, on the scheme given here, and thus not justified, i.e. morally binding on the medical staff. It is in the third category where the thicket we started with remains. I think that it has now been reduced, however, if only because the focus is clearer than when we started. It is not reduced mental and cognitive development alone that can diminish our obligation to treat. It is only when that reduction is compounded by serious physical handicaps that the quality of life for the defective infant is substantially reduced. Now, as has already been noted, it is difficult to predict diminished mental and cognitive status, though it is lesl' difficult to predict the impact of physical handicaps. So we are still left with the problem of predictability. If we cannot assure ourselves in a particular case that we can predict with (fairly) high accuracy the level of mental and cognitive development to be expected, then we cannot justifiably consider our obligation to treat such an infant to be reduced. In short, we will not finally escape the necessity for making tragic choices. If we do treat infants when we are not sure of outcome, some of them will suffer in ways that may stagger them and challenge our limits of compassion. If out of a prudential concern to avoid their suffering we do not treat such infants, then some of them will surely die or survive in a more miserable state than if we had treated them. Such choices are a reminder that medicine is, as Stanley Hauerwas has so persuasively argued, a "tragic profession." What we must learn to do is accept that medicine, like almost all other aspects of our lives, involves trade-offs that are unhappy. There is no way to avoid that. We will take the goods it offers, and they are great goods, 35 d-- �but at the same time doctors and patients alike must be willing to accept their losses. And they are hard losses, as they may at times involve life itself. Such losses are tragic, but they can be lived with. They only become destructive when we refuse to recognize them for what they are." In the case of defective infants, of course, it is we who make the decision and the infant who must accept the losses, a stark choice indeed. Those losses are, I would like to say in closing, stark reminders that for all of its spectacular successes medicine is, in its most fundamental respects, a limited enterprise. Medicine cannot do all that we want it to do. And, more to the point, medicine with moral justification can sometimes be restrained from doing what it is otherwise capable of doing.D Dr. McCullough addressed medical students and faculty last year.

Miller Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 222 pages, $15, 1980 Excerpts The question of the preparation of college teachers is a high explosive. Toss it into any academic gathering and the air is instantly filled with the shattered fragments of human dignity, and with cries of triumph and despair. -Samuel P. Capen - 1938 * * * Within 2-4 weeks he (the student) feels overpowered, knows he cannot possibly absorb all the material in Gray's Anatomy, but feels equally sure that if the final examination covers all the materials presented to him through lectures, demonstrations, laboratory dissections and quiz sessions, he is likely to fail at the very outset of a hoped-for career. - Ed Bridge - 1950 * * * A rather touching and somewhat sad final report on a noble experiment at Buffalo, a school with its troubles. It didn't set the Buffalo medical school on fire but that now appears not to have been very combustible. It did have some good wider influences. - Commonwealth Fund - 1961 * * * "More often, however, the lack of recognition (of medical education) is simply manifested as apathy toward, or outright hostility to, a discipline that is poorly understood and generally looked upon as soft, if not actually mushy." * * * "Investigators who insist that systematic study of biologic phenomena, rather than individual experience, must be the base from which to draw conclusions see nothing inconsistent in any rejection of carefully planned educational studies whose findings fail to match their personal preferences." 38 Those of us who attended medical school in Buffalo in the 1950's will forever remember George Miller as one of the more outstanding, if controversial, members of the faculty. It seems only yesterday, our somewhat apprehensive group, gathered in the large wards at the Buffalo General Hospital awaiting the military footsteps which announced his arrival predictably at 10 a.m. (plus or minus 15 seconds) and the beginning of instructive, painfully probing rounds. In the early 1950's, the ingredients and the academic expectations in both the University and the Medical School were sufficiently germinal to give rise to the "Medical Education Project." It came as a surprise to me that mildmannered Ed Bridge, a pediatrician turned pharmacologist, provided the initial impetus. Other actors in the play were: Lester Anderson, Clifford Furnas, Adele Land, Steve Abrahamson - and the major catalyst, Nathania! Cantor. Having wrenched the School of Medicine from an historic site to the Main Street Campus, Stockton Kimball lent support, feeling the time ripe for a new venture in a new school. The Medical Education Project advanced the thesis that better teaching would result in better education and ultimately better patient care. Such an idea was sufficiently revolutionary to induce questioning in private conversations whether certain individuals in the University had taken leave of their senses. With generous support from the Commonwealth Fund, the Project was launched in which several junior faculty members devoted an intensive year to study and selfexamination. Other schools were soon hammering on our doors to attract away the major participants in the Project. With the untimely deaths of Cantor and Kimball, and the failure of the Project to stimulate enthusiastic support in Buffalo, the movement was transplanted to other campuses, taking root throughout the U.S. and ultimately the world. In the final chapter, the author takes an honest analytic view of the previous 25 years, acknowledging that meaningful activity and research in medical education has levelled off. Miller emphasizes that the basic question was never answered - namely, does the quality of education make a difference in the quality of health care. For that matter, no one ever documented whether the changes in medical education, as a result of the Flexner THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �report in 1910, had any influence on the subsequent quality of medicine. He encourages people in medical education to find such answers. In Miller's view, formal medical education groups were not established universally in the U.S. for several reasons: 1) the academic view that there should be an expansion of knowledge without regard to ultimate social value, 2) traditionally, medical schools are arranged along departmental lines and resist activities requiring new departments or interdepartmental cooperation, 3) competition for funds, 4) lack of recognition that education is a discipline requiring specific skills and sophistication, and finally, 5) the reward system emphasizes biomedical research. The Medical Education Project did many good things. The individuals involved became outstanding faculty members influencing positively the lives and careers of those whom they touched. Schools of medicine are much more serious about education, and sensitive to student and societal needs. Twenty-four schools have bona fide Offices of Medical Education. In my own view, the movement has achieved equilibrium for several reasons. First, any group or movement ultimately becomes selfserving and more interested in economic security than academic adventure. Secondly, medicine has become so complex that more meaningful education takes place during specialty training than in medical school. Both the public as well as physicians perceive the practice of medicine to be primarily technical. Hence the residency programs reduce to the acquisition of manual skills and expertise which may be more influenced by genes than education. The driving force in medical schools is economics rather than idealism. The largest share of support (up to 80 %) derives from research and clinical activities. Buffalo alumni will enjoy reading those chapters relating to our own school and the revered names of yesteryear. George Miller might have become a famous nephrologist. He did as well in medical education. "A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country. "D The Red Jacket Award of the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society was presented to Drs. Lydia T. Wright and Frank G. Evans at the Society's 119th annual meeting in November. Dr. Wright is a clinical assistant professor of pediatrics and Dr. Evans is a clinical assistant professor of family medicine and clinical associate in medicine. The medal - first presented to Seneca Indian orator and statesman Red Jacket by President Washington in 1792 - is presented annually in recognition of civic service over a period of years. Dr. Wright was the first black woman physician and pediatrician in Buffalo and the first black woman appointed to the Buffalo Board of Education. She has served on the Mayor's Advisory Committee, the East Side Community Organization, and the Standing Committee of the Episcopal Church and has been active in the local Negro College Fund. Dr. Evans is a past chairman of the Negro College Fund drive and is now president of the Buffalo Equity Foundation, chairman of the YMCA building drive and a member of the Pundit Club. He is an internist affiliated with Millard Fillmore Hospital.D SPRING, 1981 39 Red Jacket Award �Letter to the Editor Sirs: My remarks concerning HMO's at the 1979 University of Buffalo Spring Clinical Day's were part of a lectureship concerning socioeconomic medical controversies in America today. A reporter present, recorded her perception of this presentation in a previous Buffalo Physician. Dr. Ronald P. Santasiero's violent and acrimonious attack betrays his insecurity with the position he takes. HMO's have been extolled as an alternative type of medical practice to compete with the traditional fee-for-service system. The competition is unfair insofar as government sponsored HMO's are concerned. These HMO's receive feasibility grants, planning grants and initial grants from the Federal Government. These frequently amount to $1 million dollars or more of yours and my tax monies. They then may obtain millions of dollars in loans for operative needs. It is galling to many physicians in private practice to use their tax monies in the aggressive advertising programs used by HMO's to purloin their patients. A magnificent example of Madison Avenue hucksterism is found in the promotion of the HMO Plan Dr. Santasiero is part of. The solicitation pamphlet indicates there is an affiliation with the University of Buffalo Medical School. No such affiliation exists, but the paid merchandisers of this plan feel that their image would be enhanced by using the name of the Medical School. Additional mechanisms imposed by governmental bureaucrats such as certificate of need and various HSA mechanisms favor HMO's. The Health Maintenance Organization Act prescribes not only how the HMO's must provide services, but also how HMO's must be organized and operated. The Act required that: (1) HMO's have a financially sound operation; (2) enroll persons who are broadly respresentative of the various age, social and income groups in their service area; (3) have an annual open enrollment period of at least 30 days during which the HMO accepts persons in the order that they apply for enrollment, and (4) have organizational arrangements for an ongoing assurance program. In 1978, in a report to Congress on June 30, 1978 [HRD-78-125). the General Accounting Office offered a document entitled: "Can 40 Health Maintenance Organizations Be Successful?" The Comptroller General offered the following rather severe criticism of HMO's that stated: (1) HMO's generally have enrolled few or no elderly or indigent persons. (2) None of the HMO's studied definitely plan to offer open enrollment. This has, and will, limit access to membership for high risk and chronically ill persons. (3) HMO's have not specifically directed their services to medically underserved areas. (4) Unless HMO's can achieve efficiencies and economies by reducing their dependence of the fee-for-service system, their costs per member generally will rise during 1978-80. (5) Consistently underpricing services, to be competitive, as some HMO's have done, may be expedient in the short term but can lead to difficulties in the long term. As underpricing persists, the HMO may eventually face a gap between revenues and costs so large that it cannot increase its rates fast enough to survive. (6) Third-party relationships in HMO's may present possibilities for abuse which could harm HMO's financial soundness. (7) Many of the HMO's evaluated had not fully implemented Quality Assurance Programs. We have a situation here where in effect, HMO's only treat the employables, the least sick among us. The traditional fee-for-service physician takes patients as they come - indigent, Medicare, chronically ill and the employables. The competitive nature of this alternative-type of medical practice becomes stacked in favor of the HMO's. What manner of fair competition is this? The General Accounting Office, then, after evaluating a number of HMO's found that 22 % have a good chance of achieving financial independence; 35% have a fair chance; and 43% have a poor chance of surviving. Many HMO's have since gone bankrupt. Dr. Santasiero's own HMO has already applied to the State Insurance Department for two generous raises in their premium rates to remain solvent. Many HMO's, as long as they have Governmental loans to draw on, can remain marginally operational but my prediction is that many more in the ensuing years will become bankrupt because they cannot deliver what they promise with present premium rates. The arguments that HMO's know exactly how much medical care, no more -no less, is THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �needed to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients is specious. The impression that only HMO's have some secret formula to get people to stop smoking, stop drinking, stop taking drugs, stop speeding, lose weight and exercise daily to prevent illness also does not bear rigid scrutiny. Certain small segments of the American public may be satisfied with HMO-type medicine, but the vast majority will not be. There is no great stampede to join this form of practice. Most Americans enjoy the one on one relationship between practitioner and patient as opposed to clinic-type medicine where no free choice of physician exists. Most Americans prefer a relationship where the physician does his utmost to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients. Physicians, by the same token, have an incentive to treat their patients properly since their practice is dependent upon quality care. Staff model HMO's, on the other hand, offer no such in- centives since physicians may see five or 50 patients a day with no continuity of treatment. Further, as pointed out, the success of an HMO depends upon withholding medical care and I do not believe this will be acceptable to the general American public. There is no argument if a group of doctors choose to form a pre-paid medical health group. They will compete in the market with traditional fee-for-service physicians and will survive or fail on the merits of what they deliver and how they deliver it, but for the government to use tax monies to bludgeon their way into the free enterprise medical system, practicing favoritism along the way, is yet but another example of the oppressive power of federalism and its endless tampering.

S&hooJ ofMedidne SUNY/Buffalo �Dear Alumni and Alumnae: Dean Naughton From the desk of John Naughton, M.D. Dean, School of Medicine The School of Medicine received extraordinary good news in October, 1980, when the State of New York officially signed off on the proposed plans for the renovation of many portions of the Main Street Campus. The proposal calls for renovation of the medical school, dental school and library-educational communication center between now and 1987. Architects and consultants are busily engaged working with the administration, chairpersons and faculty of the involved units to develop a coordinated and synthesized package within a span of the next 12 to 18 months. Much of the present work follows the tremendous program report of the involved units that was compiled for the Chancellor's office by the Cannon Partnership of Grand Island during the 1979 fiscal year. When fully implemented the preclinical facilities should be fully equipped and geared for meeting the needs of the faculty and the student body for many years to come. Many necessary support structures and services should provide the advantages long needed and awaited by the faculty to make them truly competitive, nationally and internationally. Modernized classrooms, small group conference rooms, and well equipped, centralized core teaching laboratories should help facilitate the education of the students as well as make this mission more enjoyable and more effective. Lastly, centralization of units such as The Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, The Animal Facilities and The Health Sciences Workshop in an area contiguous to the medical and dental schools will serve to create further institutional cohesiveness and a sense of purpose among the constituencies of the Medical School and of the Faculty of Health Sciences. All in all, the plans for the Main Street Campus should result in the realization of a long awaited dream by many of our alumni, the faculty and the students. Realization of this project will help Buffalo's medical school sustain the momentum it has now enjoyed for a period of years.

Spring Clinical Day Program mode rator was Dr. Edward A . Carr, Jr. , professor and chairman of pharma c ology and the rape utics. There was an over-flow crowd in the Embassy Room of the Statler that heard Dean John Naughton's welcome to the 43rd annual Spring Clinical Day. Dr. Naughton gave a brief review of the many activities at the Medical School. He also thanked the alumni for their continued support. He specifically mentioned the class reunion gift program, contributions to the U/ B Foundation and to the Medical Alumni Association. Nearly 30 years ago the chemical compound Lithium Carbonate was found to have anti-manic properties by Dr. Cade in Australia. More than 20 years later, in 1970, it was approved for use in the United States for manic depressive illness, according to Dr. Anthony P. Markello. Lithium represents the major advance in the treatment of major mental disorders since the tricyclic antidepressants in the late 1950's. Dr. Markello is a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry and a 1962 Medical School graduate. "Major depressive disorders are recurrent illnesses which occur in 8-10 per cent of the general population and are broadly categorized as unipolar or bipolar (both manic and depressive phases.) The unipolar depressions have a 3 to 4 times greater incidence than the bipolar. The majority of people with bipolar depressions relapse if untreated. 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"Before initiating treatment with Lithium, a diagnosis of mania is essential. Mania is diagnosed if the mood is elevated and three of the following symptoms are present: 1. Hyper-activity, 2. Pressured speech, 3. Flight of ideas or racing thoughts, 4. Inflated self-esteem or expansiveness, 5. Decreased need for sleep, 6. Distractibility, 7. Excessive involvement in activities without recognizing the potential for painful consequences," Dr. Markello said. "The dosage range for Lithium is 600-1800 mg/day with the average of 900 mg/day. The blood level of Lithium should be in the range of .6 to 1.2 meg/1 for the majority of patients. In a large number of controlled studies 75-90 per cent of manics were successfully treated with Lithium and approximately the same percentage of patients will stay in remission if the drug is taken on a long term basis." Lithium has been used for several other conditions such as aggressive states in prison inmates, disruptive and temper outbursts in mentally defective persons, bipolar alcoholics, and bipolar adolescents with aggressive behavior. It has also shown promise as an adjunct in cancer chemotherapy by its ability to induce granulocytosis, according to Dr. Markello. As in most drugs used in the broadfield of medicine, Lithium is not without its side effects. "Fortunately it is a relatively safe drug and the CNS and renal side effects pose the greatest problems but can be effectively dealt with when the patient is carefully followed. The effects on the cardiac, GI, endocrine and neuromuscular systems should be carefully watched for. The physician-educator suggested that lithium treatment should be undertaken by therapists who are familiar with the diagnosis and management of the major mood disorders although follow-up of patients may be carried out in some situations by primary care internists and family physicians who are familiar with all of the ramifications of Lithium treatment. d- WINTER, 1980 3 Dr. Anthony P. Morkello Lithium �"The mode of action of Lithium is unknown. The evidence to date supports the facilitation of norepinephine across the cell membrane as well as its involvement in serotonin synthesis and metabolism. Lithium also may stabilize the sensitivity of dopamine receptors and affect sodium and potassium transport in cells. "Lithium is cost effective and its use as treatment for manic depressive illness has saved over $4 billion in the last ten years. As the mechanism of action of Lithium is more fully understood, the biochemical processes of the major mood disorders themselves will be enhanced," Dr. Markello concluded. Dr. Harold Bernhard Peptic Ulcer Disease is a common medical disorder affecting 10 o/o of the population of the U.S. at some time according to Dr. Cimetidine Harold Bernhard, M'49. "In the past, therapy has been empiric with use of bland diet, antacids and anticholingergic drugs for symptomatic control. "The introduction of Cimetidine for treatment of Duodenal Ulcer represents a major advance in gastrointestinal drug therapy. This agent is an "Hz Receptor Antagonist" that blocks the effect of Histamine on the gastric parietal cell. The result is marked decrease in acid production by the stomach after all types of stimulation. With acid output controlled, healing of ulcer can occur," the clinical associate professor of medicine and head of the gastroenterology section at Millard Fillmore Hospital said. Extensive well controlled trials of Cimetidine in the U.S. and Europe revealed marked symptomatic improvement and healing of Duodenal Ulcers after 6 weeks in 75 per cent of patients compared to 40 per cent in controls, according to Dr. Bernhard. "Prophylatic maintenance therapy with Cimetidine has also yielded striking results. Ulcer recurrence occurred in only 13 per cent while on the drug compared to 53 per cent in the placebo group. 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Drs. Jam es Dunn and Willard Be rnhoff visit with fri ends. "Cimetidine is remarkably safe with a very low incidence of side effects which are mild. It is being evaluated in other medical states where control of gastric acid secretion is of value: Gastrinoma, Gastric Ulcer, Marginal Ulcer, Reflux Esophagitis, Stress Ulcer, Erosive Gastritis and Pancreatic Insufficiency. " Dr. Bernhard cited some statistics as proof that Peptic Ulcer Disease is a major health problem in the U.S . 400,000 hospitalization per year 4,000,000 hospital days per year 140,000 operations per year 9,000 hospital deaths per year and an overall cost of $3 billion. "Hopefully, Cimetidine, or one of its successors, will allow us to reduce these striking statistics and decrease the cost of Peptic Ulcer Disease to this nation in the future," Dr. Bernhard concluded. Ahlquist's classification of adrenergic receptors in A and B types in 19481 ultimately led to the discovery of a number of substances capable of blocking the activation of A or B receptors according to Dr. Arthur E. Orlick. "Beta blocking drugs have since become important in the treatment of a variety of cardiovascular disorders. They have also been found useful in some endocrine , neurologic and ophthalmic disorders. This paper will summarize some of the pharmacologic principles, physiologic effects and therapeutic applications of this very important class of compounds." CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY The assistant professor of medicine at U/ B said, "recently Breceptors have been subclassified into B1 and B2 varieties with distinct physiologic effects and patterns of distribution throughout the body 2 • For example, B1 receptors are mainly localized to the heart and when stimulated produce an increase in heart rate , contracility and atrioventricular conduction. B2 receptors are thought to be localized to the tracheo-bronchial tree and blood vessels and when activiated produce dilitation in both areas. This finding has WI TER, 1980 5 Beta-Blockers �Dr. Chassin , Rita Swi ck. led to the development of numerous "cardioselective" B-blockers in an attempt to take advantage of the beneficial effects of cardiac beta blockade without producing the potential adverse side effects such as broncho-spasm. Most of the newer selective agents as well as the non-selective compounds with the exception of nadolol and atenolol have similar metabolic fates and biologic-activity and differ only in their half-lives. Thus, no attempt will be made to define specific pharmacologic principles for each compound. Nadolol, a new non-selective blocker and atenolol, a new selective blocker, differ from the other compounds in that they are incompletely absorbed from the GI tract and are excreted by the kidney as unchanged drug." Continuing Dr. Orlick said, "although almost all of the Bblockers available are completely absorbed in the GI tract, with the exception of atenolol and nadolol, only about 20-50 per cent of an orally administered dose reaches the systemic circulation under steady state conditions3 • This reflects the fact that the liver is the major organ of elimination for these substances and, as such, removes them from the blood before they reach the systemic circulations. Therefore, larger doses of drug are required when the oral route is chosen over parenteral administration. The hepatic metabolic pathway has a limited capacity and does become saturated at higher doses or with chronic drug administration. Liver disease also has a major impact on drug clearance. Patient's with cirrhosis, for example, have higher steady state propranolol concentrations than normal subjects. Similarly, renal dysfunction significantly alters the steady state concentration of nadolol and atenolol." Another important aspect of B-blocker pharmacology is that there is a limited correlation between the duration of beta blocking effect and the elimination half-life of most agents. "A decrease in plasma drug concentration may not necessarily be associated with a parallel decrement in clinical effect. This is substantiated by the fact that many drugs with half-lives of 4-6 hours can be administered twice daily without any obvious reduction in therapeutic effect," the physician-educator said . PHYSIOLOGIC EFFECTS Dr. Paul We inmann and fri end. Most of the more noticeable effects of B-blockage are produced in the cardiovascular system. "It is these effects which are utilized in the treatment of ischemic heart disease. Blockage of B' receptors produces a reduction in resting heart rate, cardiac output and contractility with no noticeable change in resting blood pressure in normotensive individuals. Although there is an increase in heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output with exercise, the response is blunted when compared to the non-beta blocked response. "Blockade of B2 receptors in the bronchial tree produces bronchoconstriction and increased airway resistance and in the blood vessels produces vaso-constriction as the action of the A receptors go unopposed. In the kidney, beta blockade inhibits the release of renin which may be an important mechanism in the control of hypertension in some patients. Blockade in the pancreas inhibits the release of insulin. Pupil dilitation is produced with beta blockade as the effect of A receptor stimulation goes unopposed," Dr. Orlick said. 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �THERAPEUTIC USES 1). "Cardiovascular system: By far, one of the more impor- tant advances in the treatment of chronic ischemic heart disease was made when B-blockers were approved for clinical use in patients with angina pectoris. Because B-blockers blunt the rise in exericse induced heart rate and blood pressure and thereby reduce myocardial oxygen demand at any given level of external work, patients with angina are able to increase their work performance when given B-blockers. Recent studies have suggested that the use of B-blockers within the first few hours of an acute myocardial infarction improves myocardial oxygenation and may be beneficial in reducing infarct size•. There is also evidence available suggesting that Bblockade improves survival in patients who have sustained a myocardial infarction and who subsequently leave the hospital'. Other cardiovascular uses for B-blockers are the treatment of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, digoxin induced arrhythmias, IHSS and hypertension. 2). "Endocrine: B-blockers have been extremely useful in treating patients with thyrotoxicosis prior to medical or surgical ablation of the thyroid gland. There has also been a recent report suggesting that propranolol may be effective in blocking hypoglycemic episodes in patients with insulinom 6 • 3). "Neurologic: Some patients with migraine are dramatically improved with propranolol. This agent is also occasionally effective in controlling familial, senile or action tremors. 4). "Ophthalmologic: Propranolol was found to be effective in reducing intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients who had not responded to conventional therapy'. In addition, long term reductions in intraocular pressure were produced with chronic administration of the agent." ADVERSE EFFECTS The Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program recently reported adverse reactions to propranol in 800 hospitalized patients and to practolol in 199 patients 8 • "Life threatening reactions such as shock, complete heart block and pulmonary edema were found in approximately 1-5 per cent of the patients. Non life threatening reactions which included bradycardia, hypotension, congestive heart failure, gastrointestinal disturbances, central nervous system disturbances, bronchospasm and rash occurred in approximately 10 per cent of patients. Other adverse side effects that have been reported include the production of Raynaud's phenomenon, worsening of claudication symptoms and the production of hypoglycemic episodes in insulin dependent diabetics as well as non-diabetics." In conclusion, Dr. Orlick said, "beta blockers are currently being used to treat a diverse group of diseases. The therapeutic use of these agents takes advantage of the ability to block beta adrenergic receptors in numerous organs and serves to illustrate the importance of basic physiologic and pharmacologic investigation in paving the way for future therapeutic advances."D d-WINTER, 1980 7 References 1}.

Carden, Schultz. �Dr. Louis Losogno Government Regulations Dr. Marshall Clinton chats with his colleagues. "We have a love-hate relationship with drugs. Both physicians and patients like them and fear them." That is what Dr. Louis Lasagna told his colleagues. The professor of medicine and head of the pharmacology and toxicology department at the University of Rochester noted that "there are not many ineffective drugs on the market. For the most part they do what they are supposed to do. Nevertheless, the public wants drug regulation for protection from bad drugs and poor manufacturing. They also want protection from doctors who may over-prescribe drugs and from the public itself." The physician-educator warned about the important losses from over regulation. "There is a limit of what we can do with regulation. It is difficult to control and regulate the quality of medicine from Washington to Buffalo. The medical profession has a difficult time policing itself and so do others," Dr. Lasagna said. "New drugs are slower coming on the market because of government regulations. Many millions of dollars and years of research go into new drugs before they are marketed. The public is harmed by this process and so is a new drug. "Our regulation and ethics say that the United States must repeat clinical tests even though such tests have been done in other countries. Western European clinical tests are similar to ours," Dr. Lasagna said. Dr. Lasagna noted that there is a move today to protect the public by more education that is aimed at the patient rather than the doctors and pharmacists. "Some people want more information while others want none. We are a long way from knowing how to educate the public." People do many things that are not good for their health such as manipulation of fats in their diet. "Jogging is not good for everyone and there is no evidence that it prolongs life. There are also 'ify-areas' such as the use of saccharine and steroids. These are very controversial." Controversy is also raging over package inserts which explain what the drug is used for, how it should be taken and for how long, its possible side effects and how to store it. "Patient package inserts can not always be up-to-date and authoritative because often the information lags behind our scientific wisdom and good medical practice." Dr. Lasagna added humor to his lecture by showing slides of 19th century drug ads (patents, oils, syrups, opium) that supposedly cured anything and everything at home. "By contrast, todays pharmaceutical ads are correct. But sometimes people over-use minor tranquilizers." Dr. Lasagna made these observations-there are economic and political problems with drugs; - the FDA supports generic drugs because people want to save money; - the government and manufacturers have goofed by allowing poor performing drugs on the market; -often we have a problem in control of quality drugs (how much is unknown about the quality control problem of drugs that are on the market); - the cost of prescription drugs is determined by the pharmacist, not by the physician or manufacturer; 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �-compliance is a major problem with some patients; -drug companies have been asked to do post-marketing surveillance, and this is necessary to check side effects; -side effects are usually rare; - toxicity causes the most public concern; -some drugs keep people from dying like beta blockers; -benzidine is safe and effective as a transquilizer; In conclusion Dr. Lasagna said, "both the public and the profession are wondering if they haven't made things worse by regulation. It costs a lot and the government has no monopoly on wisdom . The public is saying don't tell us what to do ; just give us the facts and we'll make the judgment for ourselves." New approaches to cancer treatment and some adverse effects of chemotherapy were discussed by Dr. Richard G. Cooper, clinical associate professor of medicine and clinical assistant professor of otolaryngology. "In 1957 some 33 per cent of cancer patients who were diagnosed would be cured by the standard therapies of surgery and radiation therapy. By 1977 over 60 per cent of patients diagnosed as having cancer were cured , primarily through the use of aggressive adjuvant chemotherapy and combined with a more aggressive radiotherapeutic approach in selected cases. " The physician-educator said, "with knowledge gained through this combined approach, a significant impact could be made, not only on patients who had all gross disease resected where the chemotherapy was directed at the elimination of micrometastases , but also in many instances in which patients had gross widespread disease present at the time of the initiation of therapy." In his illustrated presentation Dr. Cooper showed a 96 per cent survival rate for patients with stage II and IIIB Hodgkin's disease, compared to only 40 per cent some 15 years ago with radiation therapy alone, the direct result of a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. A similar improvement was demonstrated in patients with osteogenic sarcoma where the cure rate rose from less than 10 per cent to close to 60 per cent in those who receive adjuvant Adriamycin chemotherapy following the surgical removal of their primary neoplasm. Similar results are obtained in testicular tumors, and now in breast and ovarian cancer as well. Drs.

Cooper Antimicrobial Therapy Third place exhibit: Stereotactic Neurosurgery by Dr. Patrick Kelly, Erie County Medical Center. Dr. Cooper discussed some of the specific side effects of various systems, including those agents associated with the production of alopecia, ranging from some 80 per cent in patients receiving high dose cyclophosphamide to the less frequent occurrence with other agents, including bleomycin, Methotrexate and Fluorouracil. A brief presentation was ma~e concerning changes in oral mucosa associated with these agents, ranging from the classical mucositis associated with Methotrexate, to oral pigmentation seen in the black population when exposed to therapeutic doses of Adriamycin. Dr. Cooper also showed the pulmonary complications of prolonged alkylation therapy with their very poor prognosis of some six months in survival data associated with such agents as busulfan, Cytoxan, Mitomycin, and bleomycin. Cardiac side effects of Adriamycin were discussed, as well as the endocrine changes that one associates with the use of such anti-hormones as Tamoxifen, or orthoprime DDD. The renal toxicity of such agents which are commonly used as Platinum, Cytoxan and Mitomycin were discussed, and the critical finding of positive Pap smears in almost all patients while taking alkylating agents was stressed. In conclusion Dr. Cooper said he hoped he had alleviated the anxieties of physicians concerning the pecularities of these less common side effects of the chemotherapeutic agents, since their usage will continue to increase in both single agent and combination agent programs.D When a physician is confronted with a patient with apparent infection, he usually initiates therapy before he knows the results of cultures and sensitivities, according to Dr. Robert F. Betts, associate professor of medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center. · "For some infections such as those which occur in the outpatient setting, e.g. cutaneous abscess or urinary tract infection, the choices are very simple. The physician merely selects an antibiotic which is as safe and as inexpensive as possible. However for infections which are sufficiently serious that the patient needs admission or for infections which develop in hospitalized patients, the situation is somewhat more complex. Before beginning any antibiotic the clinician should obtain cultures which will be useful later and gram stains of appropriate secretions to help determine the type of infection," Dr. Betts said. For sake of brevity Dr. Betts considered only the treatment of gram negative infection (excluding hemophilus influenza) in this discussion. "However, the same principles apply to other infections. When do we see gram negative infection? Data suggest that patients over the age of 65 especially those who are more in need of chronic care, are more likely to have gram negative pneumonia than are younger or more healthy individuals. Other settings in which gram negative infection occurs are pneumonias in hospitalized patients, IV catheter infections in patients on antibiotics, or intra-abdominal and urinary tract infections in any setting. Assuming that the clinician from his evaluation has the suspicion that gram negative infection is present, which antibiotics 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �should he select? In these instances the physician is faced with at least four questions: 1) which antibiotic agent will be effective, 2) which effective agent is least toxic, 3) which effective antibiotic is least likely to "force" the individual to be colonized by resistant organisms, 4) will one antibiotic work; do I need two for synergy.? Taking the questions listed in reverse order, 4) Are synergistic combinations of antibiotics required to treat gram negative infection? There is no certain answer. However, retrospective studies demonstrate that when a patient has at least 1,000 polymorphonuclear leukocytes in his peripheral blood and he is not in shock, a single effective antibiotic is as beneficial as more than one antibiotic. With addition of each unneeded antibiotic you may be adding only that extra potential side effect and cost. 3) With respect to colonization with resistant organisms, how can this be reduced? After all, it has been well demonstrated that patients with these severe infections are at risk to develop subsequent infections as a consequence of their illness or of that hospitalization, and these so called suprainfections usually are caused by organisms that are resistant to the initial antibiotic regimen. Prior to the development of infection they become colonized by the organism that eventually causes the infection." Studies show, according to Dr. Betts, that patients are likely to become colonized with organisms that are resistant to the antibiotic they are receiving and are sensitive the next tier beyond their antibiotic. "Patients receiving penicillin are likely to be colonized with organisms which resist penicillin but are sensitive to cephalothin, and patients who are receiving cephalothin will be colonized with organisms resistant to cephalothin but sensitive to aminoglycosides and so on. Thus, it is in the best interest of the patient from that standpoint to use the antibiotics with the narrowest possible spectrum. 2) With respect to toxicity, no antibiotic is without side effects. However, amongst the various classes of antibiotics, the aminoglycosides are more toxic than the cephalosporins. Thus, when other factors allow, cephalosporins should be used and aminoglycosides held. Finally with respect to efficacy, which of the many anti gram negative rod antibiotics should the clinician select empirically when he is treating patients with suspected gram negative infection? Consideration of the points just made plus the following may help answer this question. If an antibiotic is active in vitro (i.e. "effective") patients respond equally well to any "effective" antibiotic; there is no magic in any antibiotic. From patients who have never been hospitalized, 95 per cent of gram negative rods isolated are sensitive to cephalosporin antibiotics such as cephalothin or cefazolin. The remaining 5 per cent of organisms are susceptible to the newer agents such as cefamandole. These 5 per cent are almost exclusively isolated from the biliary tract infections. By contrast if a patient is currently hospitalized, was hospitalized any time in the last 6 months, or has been receiving chronic antibiotics as an outpatient, then between 20 and 30 per cent of the organisms isolated are resistant to both old and new cephalosporins. These so called nosocomial organisms are sensitive only to the three aminoglycosides: gentamicin, tobramycin and amikacin. Therefore, the clinician can ask, has the patient been on long term outpatient antibiotics? If the answer is no, then WI TER, 1980 d- Se cond place exhibit: Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy by Dr. Hussein M. Abdel-Dayem, radiology department, Erie County Medical Center. Dr. Robert F. Betts �Drs.

If the answer to that question is also no, then the patient has a 95 per cent chance of being infected with a gram negative organism susceptible to cefazolin. If the infection is outside the biliary tract, then there is virtually a 100 per cent chance that the organism will be susceptible to cefazolin. If on the other hand the answer to either of these questions is yes, then the clinician should assume that the patient is infected with an organism resistant to all the cephalosporins. "Using then some readily available clinical clues the physician is able to make rational antibiotic selection which will be both safe and effective and have a better chance of maintaining a relatively resistant free environment. For patients who have acquired gram negative infections at home, and have an adequate white count and are not in shock, cefazolin seems the most reasonable choice since this antibiotic has been shown to be effective and to be very nontoxic, is quite inexpensive and is relatively easy to give both IV and IM. "Only when anaerobic organisms are suspected, will the clinician need to broaden his spectrum in order to have a fair degree of confidence that his regimen will cover all possible organisms. 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"The more recently introduced cephalosporins whose toxicity is less well understood and which are more expensive, should be reserved to treat organisms which in vitro data have demonstrated to be resistant to cefazolin and sensitive to these new cephalosporin antibiotics. There are only a few organisms that fit this bill and in most instances, these organisms will be isolated from hospitalized patients. "The aminoglycosides should be used empirically for any infection developing in hospitalized patients. The newer cephalosporins are inadequate because their spectrum does not include pseudomonas. When culture and sensitivity data become available and the organism proves sensitive to any of the cephaeosporins, a change to the safest and/or least expensive effective agent can be made. "When an aminoglycoside is indicated which of the three available aminoglycosides should the clinician use? If the infection has developed outside the Intensive Care Unit and if the patient has not received an aminoglycoside antibiotic previously, the chances are quite high that infection will be due to a gentamicin or tobramycin susceptible organism. There is no clear choice between these two antibiotic agents and the reported difference in nephrotoxicity is not convincing. If the patient is in an Intensive Care Unit setting or has received an aminoglycoside antibiotic previously, then without question amikacin should be used as the initial aminoglycoside. The rationale for this is that these individuals will frequently harbor gentamicin resistant organisms. Since a single antibiotic is being used, the clinician must select an antibiotic which will be effective. Concern regarding induction of resistance by amikacin has been reduced by studies which show that sensitivity to amikacin is maintained even when amikacin is the sole or primary aminoglycoside in the hospital setting. Apparently the frequency of organisms that possess the enzyme which will inactivate the amikacin is so low that development of resistance is not a problem. Furthermore, the other mechanism of resistance, presence of a diffusion defect for all aminoglycosides, occurs as readily by using gentamicin or tobramycin as it is by using amikacin. It may be that because rate of resistance is so low that amikacin could be used empirically for any hospitalized patient without major concern about resistance development. Additional features that make amikacin attractive are its predictable serum levels and when carbenicillin is required its stability in the presence of carbenicillin. dDrs.

For most gram positive infections this approach would also suffice but alternative programs would be preferable if gram positive infection were more likely. However, by following these guidelines total antibiotic use should be reduced in hospitalized patients. With this reduction there should be no reduction in efficacy but definite rf;)duction in cost of medical care both because of actual cost of antibiotics as well as the expense of toxic side effects and the expense of antibiotic monitoring. These guidelines are meant to apply to the treatment of patients with diseases that are not imminently fatal since in the latter instances, much more is demanded of the antibiotic regimen," Dr. Betts concluded.D In dealing with patients physicians should depend more on their ears than their eyes, according to Dr. Howard M. Spiro, professor of medicine at Yale University. "Talk to the patient rather than taking so many pictures. Be an interpreter of your patients' complaints." The Stockton Kimball lecturer said, "I am not a critic of medical advances and medical technology. Pictures have revolutionized our diagnosis and our profession. But we must not let technology get between us and our patients. Today we must see the size and shape of every organ, regardless of the patients' complaints. Technology makes it possible for us to see all kinds of things we never used to see. The problem is not so much technology, but how we use it. Physicians are abdicating their responsibility to the patient and depending too much on technology. The gastroenterologist noted that the diagnostic process often ignors chemical symptoms. "Physicians look at pictures, but don' t always go back to the patient. Perhaps we should train more blind physicians so they won't rely so much on pictures. "In terms of therapy our technology has done a lot of good. Many physicians are still in practice today because of the pacemaker," Dr. Spiro said. "As a gastroenterologist I have to see it. Often we exchange pictures with radiologists. Physicians want to know exactly what they are treating; they don't want to miss anything so they take more pictures. They want to become perfectionists. Many times we find things that don't coincide with the patients' complaints. "Today's technology puts the patient on a plastic square and widens the distance between the physician/ patient. Physicians must recover their diagnostic roles as interpretors of the patients' complaints and not be problem solvers. The problem stems from our character, goals, education and training. The CT scanner is a powerful diagnostic instrument. But we must continue to ask ourselves what we are learning and why we do what we do. Physicians must recover their roles as loyalty to the patient and to each other." Dr. Spiro noted that most medical students are selected because of their science backgrounds. "How we select and train medical students is very important. Twenty-five years ago the 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �emphasis was more on being a practicing physician. Residents made morning rounds and spent the afternoons in the doctor's office. In recent years our emphasis has shifted from preparation for practice to a post-graduate program in a hospital and research. We need to train medical students and residents in the art of uncertainty and less in the spirit that everything can be known or that it needs to be known. We should not make the student feel uncomfortable when he does not have the answers for everything on paper or plastic. We need to look at the physician's character and training as much as his financial and technology needs. "More didactic lecturers are needed and more discussions about individual patients are needed. Giving more care to the individual patient is very important. We must learn to train medical students to be success oriented, power seeking, and compulsive. "Physicians must learn to solve problems and get the answers and to tolerate no uncertainties. It makes no sense to train men or women for 10 years in problem solving and put them through the hoops and hurdles of decision analysis and blame the poor practicing physician when he can't solve the process when he begins to see patients. This is exactly what is happening. I see the same thing going on in our law schools," Dr. Spiro said. Physicians must consider the cost, inconvenience and pain to the patient when ordering tests and pictures. "Sometimes the physician does it out of curiosity, or fear, but the real reason may be that he strives to be a perfectionist." Dr. Spiro noted that Stockton Kimball was one of the leading gastroenterologists of his time. "As we read more about Stockton Kimball we see how the physician viewed himself as a person and a professional." In conclusion Dr. Spiro said, "we must remember the patient is a person, and we must regain and retain our concern for the patient. We must tell the patient what is ahead, what to expect down the road. Technology is powerful. Images are great, but we should do more thinking and talking about technology and perhaps use it less. We must seek a balance between the patient, the image and the physician. "0 The winning exhibit: Cerebral Bypass in the Prevention of Stroke and Treatment of Aneurysms by Drs. L.N. Hopkins, S.S.

Jones, Ph.D., M.D. Distinguished Professor Emeritus Austin Flint Sr. was fourth in succession of a medical ancestry when he came to Buffalo in 1836. Ten years later he became our first Professor of Principles and Practice of Medicine and Clinical Medicine. When he died in ew York City in 1886 he was the acknowledged leader of American medicine at that time. The gap caused by his death was attested to by the outpouring of obituaries both here and abroad. When Sir .William Osler heard of Flint's death, he said to the medical class at the University of Pennsylvania - Gentlemen: Since we met together on Saturday, a veteran in the army of which you are recruits, has fallen. I allude to Dr. Austin Flint of ew York, and I propose, before proceeding with the clinic to tell you, in a few words, some of his labors ... For you, one of the most valuable of the lessons of Dr. Flint's life is the fact that the method of his life secured his success. When he went out into what was then considered the west (Buffalo was the west], he took with him a good education, but what was more important, he went out a student of ature and a recorder of facts. Various medical faculties, societies and associations drafted and passed memorial resolutions. Finally, biographical sketches began to be published in 1887 and have continued to be until the present. A recurrent theme in all of these writings was that Austin Flint Sr. was a good teacher who influenced thousands of students. After all, he taught at Chicago, Buffalo, Louisville, New Orleans, Long Island and ew York City. To date, no old attics nor letter files have disclosed diaries or notes made by students during Flint's lectures telling about the content of his lectures or the impressions he made on his listeners. However, let us consider that for about 350 years, it was a matter of conjecture as to whether Andreas Vesalius could draw or delineate until notes written by a medical student, Vitus Tritonios, about Vesalius's first Paduan dissection were discovered among the manuscripts in the National Library in Vienna. According to the medical historian, Charles O'Malley, the diagrams which Vesalius used were fashioned after Galen and Guinter of Andernach and used as demonstrations before he began his dissection. More important are the notes written by a German medical student - Baldasar Heseler - who attended Vesalius's demonstrations at Bologna in 1540. His notebook was subsequently found among the manuscripts in the Royal Library of Stockholm in 1846. There it remained until it was discovered and translated into English in 1959. The notebook verified many of Vesalius's own statements about his activities and methods. Fortunately for those interested in Austin Flint Sr. it was only 122 years after he began his lectures at the University of Buffalo that it was my privilege to read and analyze a diary or journal written by one of our students from 31 January 1848 to 18 April 1849. In addition to entries concerning his association with Flint, there are others relating his experiences as Health Physician for the City of Buffalo during the cholera epidemic of 1852. The diary was among rare books owned by the late Dr. Elliott Hague, ophthalmologist and bibliophile. His son, Dr. Thomas Hague, who grew up with some of my children, knew of my interest in medical history and lent me the notebook for my study. *Presented be fore the S.P.R. Medi cal Club. a t the Park Lane Manor, Buffa lo, 16 .Y. 25 April 1978. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The Class of 1930 The diary has hard covers with marbling, a leather spine and measures 61fz x 8 inches. The title page reads: "Journal of Studentia Medici Contraria Contraribus." However, it was not until page 143 that the author identified himself as I .D. Hill. He was an excellent penman but an erratic speller even with respect to ordinary English words. Our Latinist believes Hill meant to write Student instead of Studentia; that is, physicians study contraries by their opposites which may be a reflection of the allopathic reaction to homeopathy. John Davidson Hill was born in Manchester, N.Y. 29 April1822 and was raised on a farm. He left the farm when he was 17 years old and entered Lima (N.Y.) Seminar (later known as the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary) to seek an education and the wider walks of life. Afterwards, he studied medicine in the office of Dr.Dayton in Lima and matriculated in 1847 at Geneva Medical College. Apparently Hill did not keep a diary in Geneva as he did at Buffalo and referred to his experiences there in just a couple of sentences about h is former professors. The first entry in the diary is undated but was probably written at his home in Victor, N.Y. before he left (31 January 1848): BACK ROW (left to right): Richard C.

In this little volume I wish to record such daily incidents as may be deemed worthy of recollection, as guides in the unknown future and it may be, its revival may serve a pleasant past-time in a lone ly hour when body and spirit are wearied with the daily routin e of life. The n, too, the filling up of the blank pages in this little book, shall be devoted a few moments of each day as it passes to the unrecallable past ; and as its author increases in days, the recorded pages of this book multiply, may he increase as rapidly in knowledge, in wisdom and the powe rs of the "healing arts! " In view of our recent interest in the Bicentennial Year, I am going to start with the entry for the 22nd of February 1848 as follows: "Each return of the anniversary of the birthday of George Washington brings to mind the recollection of a great and a good man. The mind dwells with pleasure on the memory of those "bright particular stars" that lighted our country through the perils of the Revolution and made it free. None in the galaxy shone out during the entire contest with such bright enduring effulgence as the character whose history commenced on the 22nd of February 1731." The entry for 28 March 1848 reads: Webster (Anatomist) lectured on the eye. Flint on acute and chronic laryngitis. The former of which the first recorded case was that of which George Washington di e d. A year later (1849). Hill was so engrossed with clinical subjects that he did not have time to write so philosophically. However, it was coincidental that the entry for 22 February should read: "Dr. Flint gave us today what he had to say on laryngitis or inflammation of the larynx, or more properly, the submucus tissue with the infiltration of lymph and serum. This is a most fatal disease and of recent origin, it is the disease of which Washington died. Treat.: Blood-letting, emetics, cathartic, calome l revulsions and tracheotomy . .. " For forty years I have taught gross anatomy, among other subjects, and it is difficult to shed one's tools of the trade, so to speak. Hence, when it was my privilege to read and analyze this diary my immediate reaction was to dissect it.

This headcount represents major increases over the 1979 fall and exceeds executive budget estimates by 9.4 per cent. The enrollment summaries show that U/B welcomed 8,588 new students this fall, including 4,134 freshmen; 2,452 undergraduate transfers; and 2,002 new graduate students.D systematically by cataloging the entries under such headings asweather, civic events, recreation, the medical school, the faculty, etc. It was done for the faculty by noting the number of favorable and unfavorable or derogatory remarks written by Hill about each of the eight individuals in the total of 326 entries. In essence, some professors could do no wrong while others were not complimented for anything. Let us consider the e~try for 24 March 1848, which is the first of three favorable ones about Flint: ... Attended Dr. Flint's lecture on auscultation and percussion. He had given one lecture which I missed. I think the Dr. very clear in his elucidation on this subject and for this reason seek his lectures. Hill was scheduled to attend Flint's lectures during the second term of medical school but Professor James Webster, who commuted from Rochester, .Y. did not arrive on time to give his lecture on anatomy 3 April 1848, so the entry reads: Professor Webster was absent today so I attended one of Dr. Flint's lectures on pleuritis. It was a very practical lecture. He recommended the students to read an article written by Dr. Stokes and published in Braithwaite's Retrospect 4, No. 2 on the same subject. This reference was erroneous but there is an article by James Hope on the treatment of chronic pleurisy with effusion in which he devoted a paragraph to Stokes' mode of treatment with cold Logol's iodine and mercurial ointment. The third favorable entry was on 13 April 1849 just 5 days before graduation: ... Flint finished on scarletina, a very good lecture for him . He also made some appropriate remarks to the class on the retrospective and prospective and then bid us farewell . .. The first two unfavorable entries follow: 10 February 1849 ... Dr. Flint gave a clinic but did not amount to any particular sum and I do not deem it worthy of a synopsis on this page. 29 March 1849 ... Bored with lectures all day. Flint gave two lectures on Typhus, and this has become stale enough and not finished yet . .. Why was Hill bored all day with lectures and Flint's lectures on typhus "stale"? There is really no clue in the diary- but there is one in the Annual Announcement of the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo for 1849. There we learn, after graduation, that Hill had selected Typhus or Ship Fever as his thesis subject. Hence , much of what Fling had to say about the subject was very likely a restatement of information already known to Hill from other sources. The final unfavorable entry was on 9 April 1849 ... (James Platt) White continued his lingo on hysteria but it was neither here nor there. Flint was still on smallpox and small was his lecture." This entry brings out Hill's wry sense of humor and sarcasm. Since Hill belittled the lecture and made a pun about it being neither here nor there, James Platt White very likely espoused the theory that the uterus in cases of sexual deprivation would rise up and wander through the body in search of moisture and humidity. The entry about Flint- "and small was his lecture" was written in diminutive script. The favorable entry for 13 April seems to have been made with "tongue in cheek". Perhaps Flint was just as tired 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �of giving lectures as Hill was of listening to them. (By the way, the medical course that year had been extended from 16 to 20 weeks.) Whatever the reason, it is obvious that Hill's admiration and respect for Flint as a teacher had diminished between 24 March 1848 and 13 April 1849. Rather than to leave these entries with a sour note, two more will be quoted to show that Hill could be quite objective when he felt so inclined. First, let us remember that this was only the fourth lecture course given by Flint. The first was at Rush Medical College. The entry for 21 March 1849 provides a clue that Flint was destined to become a great teacher by challenging the students to contribute to and advance our knowledge of medicine by stating: . .. Flint took up remittent fever, gave the history, phenomena, some of the supposed causes and pathology. The latter, however, he concluded we know next to nothing and hoped the subject would meet with the attention from the present class if anyone located favorably, to receive an opportunity to investigate the subject ... Hill was the top man in his class when he graduated 18 April 1849 and records the events of that evening as follows: . . . Professor Flint had a levee at 9 o'clock this evening. It was quite pleasant so far as I was capable of judging ... What about the subject of Flint's lectures and their sequence? From 24 to 30 January 1849 the sequence of five lectures was cholera, entozoa, peritonitis, hepatitis and diseases affecting the nervous system. This raised the question as to whether or not Flint was following any particular text-book. Fortunately it has been possible to assemble, from our Rare Book Collection, thirty-four of the text-books recommended to the students for the 1848-49 lecture courses. In order to determine whether the subject sequence of a particular text was followed, a little literary detective work was undertaken. A table was constructed by noting the page numbers in the indices for the five topics and ranking their appearances in four of the text-books recommended to the students on medicine by Hall, Dunglison, Watson and Woods. Flint did not publish the first edition of his Practice of Medicine until 1866 but the diary gives a clue that he had an outline for it in mind as early as 1849. The identical sequence of lecture topics with that of Dunglison's text-book would indicate that he was not following the arrangements in Hall, Watson or Woods. However, when we consider that 35 pages about other diseases are between the first two topics in Dunglison, 383 pages between the third and fourth topics and 138 pages between the last two topics, it is obvious that Flint was not adhering consecutively to that text either, but rather, he was arranging his own lecture notes which he later used as a basis for his famous Practice of Medicine. In both the first and sixth editions of this work the topics were treated in immediate sequence. Quite naturally, many new subjects were added, but the general plan was the same as that which he used in his lectures thirty-seven years earlier. It should be noted that both authors had the same Philadelphia publisher.

In the first edition (1866) Flint said, "My first case of cholera illustrated ... ",but in the second ~clition (1867) he said, "My first case of cholera in 1849 illustrated ... ". In other words, even though he was in ew York City at that time, he was still using records of cases which he began to collect at Buffalo in 1836. The case Flint referred to is very likely the one reported by Dr. Stephen Smith when he was a resident medical student and Flint was attending physician at the Sisters of Charity Hospital at Buffalo. Altogether, Flint saw 80 cases of epidemic cholera. Flint lectures about cholera 23 January 1849 but he did not see his first case until June of that year. Flint, therefore, like the students, had to rely upon one or all of the available text-books on The Theory and Practice of Medicine. No doubt there are many more cases from Buffalo in the seven editions of his book, but they are not so readily identifiable as the ones in the chapter on typhoid fever. Flint referred to his article on epidemic fever, which occurred in 1843 at North Boston (eighteen miles from Buffalo). affecting twenty-eight persons of whom 10 died. This was his first conspicuous success. No detective policeman ever "worked up a case" more thoroughly. Up until the time of Flint's death in 1886, he had filled 16,922 folio pages of his recorded cases which he began to amass in 1833. After his death, the Cincinnati Medical News said, "In every state and territory of this vast country the book that will be most likely to be found in the office of a medical man, whether in the city, town, village, or at some cross-roads, is Flint's Practice ... ". In conclusion, three primary sources for some medical history of two of our great teachers, Andreas Vesalius and Austin Flint have been described. Vitus Tritonius and Baldasar Heseler, recorded what they observed at Vesalius' anatomical dissections in Padua and Bologna respectively. John D. Hill attended Austin Flint's clinics and listened to his lectures in 1848 and 1849. Some of his impressions about Flint were favorable and some were unfavorable. Let us remember that the lecture was the method of the day (5 to 7 while seated on hard wood benches - for one hour each) and that discomfort was particularly unpleasant over the ischial tuberosities if the lectures were not too captivating (no audio-visual, no coffee breaks, no smoking!). This was only the fourth lecture course given by Flint. This does not detract from the fact that he had an ear which was exquisitely attuned to the voices of nature. Samuel Gross, the great surgeon, referred to him as "the American Laennec" and the English journal, Lancet, dignified him with "the Watson of America". Perhaps there is only one diary like the one presented, but it is my pleasant thought that much memorabilia is still preserved by neglect in the dusty and forgotten corners of private and public buildings and that, hopefully, the future will bring them to the attention that their importance deserves considering the humanizing light they may cast on the greater or lesser figures of our medical past.D 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Medical Alumni Officers Dr. Schultz Dr. Robert W.

A Summer Head Start Twenty-three entering medical and dental students got a head start on their professional educations during eight weeks (June 4August 2). This was the sixth year that courses were offered in histology, embryology, biophysics, biochemistry and gross anatomy. Co-ordinators of the preparatory support program were Drs. Michael Anbar, Joseph Tomasulo and Ms. Audrey Vaughan. During the first week of the session Ms. Jean Saunders from the College of Virginia taught study skills, speed reading and introduced the students to medical terms. Also assisting were Manuel Saint Martin, Margaret Kadree and Brendell Temmons.O Dr. Hayes reviews the program. 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The 1980 medical school graduating class had an individual with a unique background. Dr. Donald L. Cohen intended to pursue a medical career as far back as his memory reaches, and worked in a research lab at Downstate Medical Center for four summers while in high school in Brooklyn, N.Y. However, after completing one year of pre-med studies as an undergraduate at U/B, he embarked on a different journey, taking him through courses in psychology, philosophy, and eventually comparitive religion. This exploration led to his now 8-year membership in and active involvement with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the 'Mormom Church'). He also played a significant role in establishing a program of religious studies at U/B, and was one of the first to receive a B.A. in religious studies. He graduated Summa Cum Laude and a member of Phi Beta Kappa in 1972. As a senior at U/B, his interests turned to fisheries biology and aquatic ecology, and he pursued this in a graduate program at the University of Massachusetts. His research focussed on the feeding habits of a population of alewives (fish related to herring). and he received an M.S. in fisheries biology in 1975. He then accepted a position with the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, where for two years he was involved with numerous research projects investigating the physical, chemical and biological effects of electrical generating stations on the rivers which they utilized in their cooling systems. While in Philadelphia his thoughts turned back to his original goal of a medical career. Despite the growing family responsibilities (one child with another on the way). he decided to follow through on this, and ultimately was accepted at U/B's School of Medicine. After the first smester, he applied for and was accepted into Buffalo's accelerated program, to enable him to complete his medical studies in three years instead of the usual four. In these three years he has met with academic success, receiving the 1978 Gibson-Atwell Award for excellence in the Anatomical Sciences, and being given membership in Alpha Omega Alpha, and the James A. Gibson Society. He and his wife now have three children, ages five, three and 15 months. His plans for the future include a Flexible Internship at Pittsburgh's Mercy Hospital followed by an Ophthalmology Residency at Pittsburgh Eye & Ear Hospital.O Dr. Welch Scholarship Fund Through the generosity of Dr. Mark W. Welch, M '15, a scholarship fund has been established at the U/B Foundation that will ultimately benefit students within the School of Medicine. The "Mark W. and Beulah M. Welch Scholarship Fund" is designed to provide financial assistance in the form of grants and loans to students enrolled in the School of Medicine. Dr. Welch, now retired, was formerly the medical director of IBM in Endicott.O WI TER, 1980 23 Dr. Donald Cohen The Cohen Family. �Smithsonic The Health Sciences Library displayed surgical and obstetrical instruments of the 18th & 19th centuries, which were on loan from the Smithsonian Institution. Rare books from the History of Medicine Collection of the Health Sciences Library were also on view to illustrate the physician's use of these instruments during those times. The exhibit was arranged and organized under the direction of Mrs. Mildred F. Hallowitz, History of Medicine Librarian. The Eighteenth century instruments had belonged to Dr. Charles McKnight, 1750-1791. He had trained under Dr. William Shippen in Philadelphia. He served as surgeon during the Revolutionary War and was eventually appointed Surgeon General of the hospitals located from North Carolina to Albany. He had used the exhibited instruments during the war and after; they comprised amputation, trepanation and blood-letting kits. He settled in New York City, our nation's capital, and became President Washington's personal physician. He was appointed as Professor of Surgery and anatomy at Columbia College. He was called upon in obstetric cases and his kit had been included in the exhibit. 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAJ �•·-·•< . . . I I lian Display One of the Nineteenth century instruments on exhibit is of local interest - an amputation kit belonging to Dr. Thomas Burnside Shugart of Pleasantville, Pennsylvania. He had used the instruments prior and during the Civil War. Eventually, the kit was given to Dr. James Munger of Buffalo, who incidentally was a graduate of the University of Buffalo School of Medicine, Class of 1891. Some of the texts utilized to illustrate the "state of the art" of general surgery were taken from the writings of: Jean Louis Petit (1674-1750). John Hunter (1728-1793). Sir Charles Bell (1774-1842). Theodore Billroth (1829-1894). Samuel D. Gross (1805-1884), Roswell Park (1852-1914). etc. Works on obstetrical procedures used in the exhibit were authored by: Marie Louise LaChapelle (1769-1821). Andrew Levret (1703-1780). Alexander Hamilton (1739-1802). Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894). Sir James Y. Simpson (1811-1870), etc. In conclusion, due to the excellent publicity in the newspapers, radio and television, the exhibit was viewed by great numbers of people from the community at large as well as from the University.O IAN WI TER, 1980 25 �/ Dr. Kenneth H.

Dr. Chardack has written several chapters for books on cardiac pacemakers and he has authored or co-authored numerous papers for scientific journals on skin burns, pulse stimulation of the heart and ventricular fibrillation. In 1950 Dr. Chardack and Dr. James MacCallum, the first Chief of Surgery, performed the first successful resection of a Pancoast tumor. Until this time this type of lung cancer was thought to be inoperable and incurable. Since then, their method has been accepted as standard treatment for this cancer. Dr. Chardack was the Chief of Surgery at the VA from 1952 to 1968. He introduced a wide variety of surgical procedures including in 1953, a resection of the abdominal aorta and replacement by a homograft. It was the first operation of this type to be performed in this part of the country. He established the Surgical Research Laboratory. It was here that the experimental work on the implantable cardiac pacemaker began in 1958. Dr. Chardack used the implantable pacemaker in a patient with heart block in 1960. Since then, its success is shown in the dramatic reduction in death rate from heart block as well as the improvement in the quality of life for those patients with pacemade heart rhythm. In 1972 Dr . Andrew Gage, Chief of Surgery since 1968, implanted a nuclear-powered pacemaker at the hospital , the first such device to be used in the western hemisphere.D WI TER , 1980 27 Drs .

The name change was requested by the Medical School and the Center for Immunology. The research activities of Dr. Witebsky brought fame to Buffalo and in scientific circles throughout the world. He made many original contributions to the theory and practice of blood group serology, transfusion problems and autoimmunity. The Council agreed that "the new name will both perpetuate international recognition of Witebsky's achievements and continue the acknowledgement that what he established, is vital and effective ." Today, the Center serves as a focal point for scientists and physicians in the community with basic interests in immunology, affording them an opportunity to share their views and subject their research to the constructive criticism of their peers. This is accomplished primarily by monthly roundtable discussions held throughout the academic year. The Center also disseminates new research knowledge in the field by convening biennial International Convocations and Invocations which attract national and international interest among immunologists. It also offers education in immunologic principles and techniques for interested holders of doctoral degrees and senior, supervisory technologists by sponsoring summer programs in "Methods of Immunologic Research and Diagnosis" on alternate years to the convocations. Some qualified persons are offered longer term associations with members of the Center in their own laboratories. The material submitted to the Council contained quotes from prominent immunologists from throughout the world gathered at the time the Center was established. 28 Typical of these is this quote from Dr. Werner Henle of Philadelphia : "It is rare to find that a whole area of medicine owes its establishment and clarification of its many facets to a single investigator. Dr. Witebsky belongs in this extraordinary category through his life-long interest in organ and tissue-specific antigens which culminated in the recognition of autoimmune diseases, their diagnosis, pathogenesis and elaboration of contributing factors. His inspired teaching and leadership induced many of his pupils to continue creative work in this area. Dr . Witebsky joined the School of Medicine faculty in 1936. In 1941 he was named professor and head of the department of bacteriology and immunology. In 1954 he was named " Distinguished Professor." From 1958 to 1960 he served as Acting Dean and then Dean of the Medical School. When he retired in August 1967 he was named director of the newly created Center for Immunology. He died of a heart attack December 7, 1969 .at the age of 68. Dr. Witebsky's three major contributions to medical knowledge were all made after he came to the University as a refugee from Nazi Germany. They were : 1. Isolation of the blood Group "B" substance, which he accomplished with Dr. Niels Klendshoj, also a member of the University faculty . 2. Discovery that "A" and "B" substances, in forms similar to powdered sugar , could be added to "0 " Group blood to produce a "universal type " of blood which could be given in an emergency to patients whose blood groups were not known. The blood studies led in turn to a method of determining blood groups with greater accuracy than ever before. This is done by giving "A" substance to persons with "B" blood and vice versa, and using their blood serum for testing other persons' blood groups. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Witebsky 3. The discovery that it is possible for the body to build up antibodies against constituents of its own tissues, something previously believed impossible. Dr. Witebsky was born in Frankfort, Germany in 1901, and educated at the Universities of Frankfurt and Heidelberg (MD 1926). In 1929 he was an assistant professor of immunology at the University of Heidelberg. In 1934 he became a Fellow at the Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City. Over the years Dr. Witebsky authored more than 300 publications in German, French, English and American medical journals dealing with problems in immunology and bacteriology. He was consulting editor of four professional publications - Transfusion, Clinical & Experimental Immunology, Blood and in German, Blut. He was also past editor of the Journal of Immunology. WINTER, 1980 The teacher-research won many honors for his work including: -The Karl Landsteiner Memorial Award of the American Association of Blood Banks; -"Dr. Med. honoris causa" from the University of Freiburg (1958); -Selection as a NATO visiting professor, University of Munich (1965); -Election as a member of the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina in East Germany in 1966 (one of the most distinguished groups of scientists in the world); -The Cross of Merit awarded by the Netherlands Red Cross for exceptional service to the Red Cross in 1968; -The Ward Burdick Award of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists, 1967; - (three local awards). The Chancellor's Gold Medal of the University of Buffalo (1950); selection as one of the Buffalo Evening News' "outstanding citizens" for 1968; and the Stockton Kimball Faculty Award by the Medical Alumni Association, 1963. Dr. Witebsky formerly served as head of the department of bacteriology and serology at The Buffalo General Hospital and director of its blood bank. He was co-founder of the International Society of Hematology, and his prestige brought the Society to Buffalo for its first meeting in 1948. He was a Fellow of four societies - the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Public Health Association, the American Academy of Microbiology, and the New York Academy of Sciences. The British Society for Immunology made him an honorary member in 1960 and the Royal Society of Medicine an affiliate in 1959. He was also a member of the Royal Society of Health, and the Pan American Medical Association made him a Diplomate in 1964. He was also a member of many professional organizations at the local, state, regional, and nationallevel.D 29 �Cardiology There are two major causes of death among heart patients. One is due to disorders of heart rhythm. That is when the heart beat stops or there is chaotic twitching. The other is when a heart muscle no longer is able to pump blood to vital tissues in the body. In the hospital's cardiology unit, the area's first computerized rhythm and pump monitoring system - along with a number of other "firsts" -may well be changing all that. Here, a very close look at the way the heart beats is allowing any abnormality to be treated before it becomes life threatening. It also is allowing heart muscle to be used to its optimum. According to Dr. Francis Klocke, this, along with round-theclock services of a cardiologist should a serious patient problem arise and emergency procedures such as pacemaker/ catheter insertion, are providing invaluable aids in patient care. Dr. Klocke directs cardiology at the hospital as well as at the UB School of Medicine. For the care of postcardiac patients, he points to Telemetry. It, he says, is used to monitor how well patients perform normal activity such as walking. Should a crisis - a recurrent heart attack develop, the system will sound an immediate alarm. Also, it's continuous radioing of electrocadriogram signals to automated monitoring equipment aids inpatient evaluation. By recalling data recorded over a number of days, Telemetry helps to diagnose suspected rhythm disorders, detect new or recurrent ones as well as effectiveness of treatment, he said. Among the newer procedures used to diagnose postcardiac patients after discharge from the hospital is the Holter Tape, a 12 to 24-hour rhythm recording. Dr. Klocke at CCU monitoring consol e. How it works is to first position electrodes onto a patient's chest. Then, connect to a small battery-operated tape recorder carried much like a shoulder strap bag. As a semi-automated scanning device reads the tape, the continuous recording correlates patient symptom to normal activity. To diagnose cardiac problems such as chest pains, pinpoint functional limits of cardiac patients or rehabilitate them, Dr. Klocke points to the Treadmill exercise test. In this test, as a patient walks on a speed and incline-controlled treadmill, the physician evaluates cardiac performance. This includes heart rate, rhythm, blood pressure, etc. Then, when optimal heart rate is reached or a patient tires, the test is terminated, the cardiologist/researcher said. Among the newest and most helpful diagnostic procedures, according to Dr. Klocke, is the Echocardiogram. He notes the 2-D Echo at the hospital to be the area's "first." Its scan of the heart via ultrasound reveals size and function of valves and heart chambers as well as wall thickness. And, he added, their action is more clearly visible in the SOdegree fanshaped cross-sectional views. 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Simultaneous recording onto videotape is useful for future study as well. An additional area "first" is the unlimited angulated view of the adult heart and coronary arteries and its recording onto film in two planes. This is now possible in the new catheterization laboratory, he said. Here , small catheters or tubes are inserted into the blood vessels of the patient's arm or leg until they reach the heart under X-ray control. Then, as pressures are measured in specific heart chambers, rapid sequence X-ray movies follow a harmless opaque injected dye making its way into the main pumping chamber, then into small arteries that feed the heart muscle. For, notes Dr. Klocke, " we want to pinpoint obstructions that may cause angina pectoris (chest pain) or heart attacks ." By providing an accurate assessment of heart pumping function, the need for medical and/or surgical treatment for the patient is determined. "An assessment of normal coronary arteries ends patient concern and unnecessary hospital stays," he said.D Half a million Americans will suffer strokes during 1980, according to Dr. Reinhold Schlagenhauff, associate professor of neurology at the Medical School and at the Erie County Medical Center. Strokes are prompted by too little or too much blood in the brain. Either, he says, may cause permanent damage to this vital organ. Too little prompts vascular infarctions. "When oxygenated blood is blocked from part of the brain , it is starved in a matter of minutes," he said. Too much blood lends to hemorrhage in the brain. This, he added, occurs when a blood vessel bursts, flooding part of the brain. Sudden and unpredictable is the onset of stroke. Its symptoms range all the way from slight numbness or weakness following a temporary blockage to death after massive hemorrhaging. In between there is paralysis and speech impairment. He notes there are few ways to prevent them. One is by controlling high blood pressure in patients at high risk. Another is by surgically clearing a clogged artery leading to the brain. And because treatment varies, diagnosis is critical. "We use anticoagulants for blockage," he said. Not so for hemorrhages. Formerly, arteriograms were used to identify types of stroke. But injecting dye into arteries is hazardous should a stroke be in progress. He points to the CAT scan. "It has revolutionized stroke diagnosis, " he said. It provides evidence for hemorrhage, blockage or tumors/abcesses which mimic stroke symptoms. "Every stroke patient", he says, " can be improved , if only a little. Early intervention, the sooner the better, is the key to effective treatment. " D WI TER, 1980 31 Dr. H ugh O'Neill, M'56, clinica l assistant professo r of medicine, and He len House, R.N. in the new cath. lab. Strokes �Biochemistry Research Symposium Drs. R.H. McMenamy, Roy Slaunwhite, Mary Taub, David Rekosh. Drs. Philip Yeagle, Murray Ettinger, Arlene Alpert. The Department of Biochemistry has always had a varied and active research program. However, it has undergone changes in direction as faculty have come and gone from the School of Medicine and from the department itself. Since 1976, major changes in the character and level of activity occurred as five assistant professors joined its research and teaching staff. These new faculty expanded even further the range of research activities already existing in the department. They also contributed to the formation of the four "clusters," research groups organized to share facilities and ideas. These clusters are focused upon gene expression, metabolism, protein/metalloenzymes, and membranes. The development of research clusters and the expansion of faculty expertise have made finding a common scientific ground and co-operation among researchers with different interests important goals for the department. For these reasons, the Biochemistry Department held a research symposium for everyone engaged in research: faculty, students and staff. In retreat at the Ellicott Complex on the Amherst Campus in March, four half-day sessions were organized reflecting the interests on each cluster. The faculty set the tone for each session by presenting 15-minute talks on the background of their work. The brevity of these overviews helped to minimize the boredom that often accompanies long, technical talks on research. At the same time, the general nature of these oral presentations gave participants a taste of each faculty investigator's work. Following these short statements of purpose and direction, research associates and graduate students presented details and data from their laboratory's research projects. To convey this information, posters were mounted in nearby corridors. There was plenty of time for individual discussion with students, faculty and staff in each of the research teams. The poster sessions stimulated questions and the exploration of alternative interpretations of data. The symposium revealed areas of possible collaboration among the faculty; inter-specialty projects were identified. What is more, the applications of current biochemical research to clinical problems was clear. Dr. Mary Taub's work on an isolated kidney cell line has pharmacological and oncological importance. Dr. Roy Slaunwhite's studies on prolactin have a direct bearing on prostate cancer and its therapy. The Department of Surgery has been collaborating with Dr. Rapier McMenamy on the biochemical manifestations of trauma and human critical illness. Drs. Daniel Kosman and Murray Ettinger's basic work on copper metabolism is illuminating the etiology of Wilson's Disease and Menke's "Kinky Hair" syndrome. The interdisciplinary nature of biochemistry has been recognized for many years. However, collaborative research needs to be activated within the department and with other basic and clinical science departments in the School. The symposium indicated that the Biochemistry Department has the interest and human resources to pursue and realize these possibilities. And, the novel design of the symposium was an important step toward further interaction among the clusters of faculty within the department.D 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Approximately 120 neurologists and neurosurgeons from across the nation and as far away as Ireland attended the three-day conference on the comprehensive management of patients with intracranial aneurysms, according to Dr. L.N. Hopkins, clinical assistant professor of neuro~urgery, at the Medical School. The Dent Neurologic Institute of Millard Fillmore Hospital and U/B cosponsored the meeting. "The seminar focused on the preoperative and postoperative management of the aneurysm patient where rebleeding and cerebral vasospasm with resultant cerebral ischemia are the major problems. There is still a great deal of controversy in view of the fact that measures designed to prevent rebleeding tend to aggravate cerebral ischemia and vice-versa. Emphasis was placed on the peri-operative care in view of the fact that newer techniques in the advent of microneurosurgery have reduced the actual operative mortality to less than 5% in most major neurosurgical centers," Dr. Hopkins said. He directed and organized the meeting with the assistance of Debi Franz, CMA-A. The nine visiting faculty members included several of North America's leading aneurysm surgeons in addition to Dr. Maurice Albin the foremost neuroanesthesiologist in this country who is Professor of Neurosurgery and Anesthesiology at the University of Texas at San Antonio. The subject of cerebral vasospasm and ischemia was covered by the world's leading experts including Dr. Jack Fein from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Dr. Eugene Flamm from New York University, and Dr. Robert Wilkins who is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at Duke University as well as president of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. U/B Faculty included Dr. Louis Bakay, Dr. William R. Kinkel, Dr. Patrick J. Kelly, and Dr. L.N. Hopkins of the Department of Neurosurgery. Course registrants and their guests were treated to tours of Niagara Falls and Buffalo with the Albright-Knox Art Gallery a major attraction.

The activities conducted this Spring by the School and/ or its alumni association indicate that both spirit and vitality are quite high. Among the activities which provided opportunities for alumni, faculty, friends and students and their spouses to share a few moments with one another were the Annual Alumni Reception for Graduating Students held at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in late April, the Spring Clinical Day and Stockton-Kimball Lecture held at the Buffalo Convention Center, the multitude of five year Class Reunion Dinners held at various sites throughout the City of Buffalo, and the School of Medicine's graduation and post-graduation reception on May 17. Each of these events was well attended by the multiple constituencies involved. The cohesiveness and responsiveness that was present indicated a spirit of purposefulness and accomplishment. Alumni, faculty and students all seemed to have benefited from the activities and the School and the Alumni Association felt amply rewarded for the efforts it put forward. Obviously, the success of such events are due to the work of a dedicated and unselfish set of leaders and staff. For this year's events, the efforts of Dr. Robert Schultz, President of the Alumni Association, Mr. James Snyder of the University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc., and Mrs. Nancy Druar, deserve an expression of special commendation and gratitude. They truly provided the momentum and leadership which made 1981 an especially memorable year. Each individual set a pace and standard which will be a meaningful challenge to those of us charged with preparing for the 1982 Spring activities.O �Volume 15, Number 3 Fall1981 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN (USPS 551 -ll60) Published by the School of Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo EDITORIAL BOARD Editor ROBERT 5.

FALL, 1981 1 �The Class Gift, 12 x 15 banner. 135th Annual Commencement Dr. Caldi cott Dean John aughton welcomed the graduates and their families to the 135th commencement. He praised the 147 graduates (99 men and 48 women) for their hard work and dedication. He mentioned two previous events - senior reception and spring clinical day- both sponsored by the Medical Alumni Association, that made this an exceptionally busy time of year for the Medical School faculty. Dr. aughton also introduced several dignitaries who participated in the commencement ceremonies. He congratulated three faculty members who received special honors this spring. They are: Dr. Felix Milgrom who was named distinguished professor; Dr. Hermann Rahn who was given the Chancellor Charles P. orton Medal; and Dr. David Harker (biophysics professor emeritus) who received the state university system's first honorary degree, Doctor of Science. Dean Naughton also thanked the 1981 class for their class gift, a huge banner that will be used at future Medical School functions. He noted three other innovations: a brass band replaced the organist; the reception that followed was at the Buffalo Convention Center rather than the Mary Seton Room; and for the first time in at least 15 years the class selected an outside commencement speaker, Dr. Helen Caldicott, an Australian pediatrician , who is an internationally known anti-nuclear activist. She is president, Physicians for Social Responsibility. 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �.. "We are living on a terminally ill planet and this is a profound responsibility of all of us. People in America and everywhere must become involved to avert complete destruction. There will be no winner in a nuclear war . The super powers are acting like two big bullies." Dr. Caldicott lashed out at President Franklin Roosevelt and the United States scientist, who were responsible for developing the A-bomb . She traced briefly the history of the development of the bomb, and deplored the dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945 that ended World War II. "Even the foot-soldier today carries nuclear weapons and our tanks, ships and submarines are equipped with these planet destructive weapons . And very soon many third world countries will have nuclear reactors for peace as well as weapons for war. This is costing the world a tremendous amount of money. Meanwhile, two-thirds of the world 's children are starving or malnourished," Dr. Caldicott said. She noted that the "dooms-day clock" was down to four minutes and running. "We may have a nuclear war before 1990. We must prepare for it, but how? Within 30 minutes the entire planet could be virtually destroyed by a push-button nuclear war . The few survivors would be better off dead." The crusading physician said, "making bombs is a people 's disease. It is such a displeasing subject that people are reluctant to think or talk about it." On the other hand, she indicated that the increase in the use of drugs and alcohol may be because of the nuclear war threat. In discussing therapy to deal with a terminal war , Dr. Caldicott suggested that physicians with a doctor/ patient relationship must shatter the psychic thoughts of war. "When you are treating a patient you have total commitment to that patient. We need this same total commitment to save this planet. If we work for each other this will lead to happiness. A medical umbrella around and over the world is needed to protect it from nuclear war." In conclusion Dr. Caldicott said, " we are at the crossroads of time and we physicians have the key to saving life on this planet if we can stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons. We must also make people fully aware of the dangers of war." The Medical School yearbook, The Iris, was dedicated to Dr. Robert A. Milch, M'68, clinical instructor in surgery. He was introduced by yearbook editor, Howard A. Werman.D The Dedication Traditionally, The Iris has been dedicated to an individual for excellence in teaching. This year, tradition has been modified, dedicated instead to a surgeon, both for excellence in teaching as well as to the concept for which he stands. We respectfully dedicate the 1981 Iris to Dr. Robert Milch , and to the American Hospice Concept. d- FALL, 1981 3 Daniel Castellani, Dean Naughton.

Dave Small Dr. Milch is the president of the Association of Hospice Physicians. While the Hospice concept is old to European medicine, it has only recently been recognized and accepted as a part of American medicine. Dr. Milch helped found the Buffalo chapter of Hospice and currently volunteers his time as its medical director. The medieval usage of the word "hospice" described a shelter for travelers on a difficult journey. Its current usage is to describe a holistic approach to the care of the terminally ill cancer patient. The management of the dying patient is a team project: it incorporates physicians, nurses, social workers, allied health care professionals and volunteers in a close relationship with the patient, his family, friends, and clergy. A major goal of Hospice is to improve the quality of life for the dying patient. This involves physical symptom control with pharmacologic, psychologic and spiritual intervention. Relief of pain is of primary importance; but pain for the terminally ill patient is not only physical, it is mental, financial and interpersonal. Home nursing care is taught to family and friends which enables patients to remain active at home and avoid institutionalization for as long as is possible. Administration of pain medication by the patient himself or his family places responsibility on others than professional staff, while improving patient self-reliance and family bonding. Care is a continuum, which extends from the diagnosis of a terminal illness through death and beyond . Professional services are provided to the mourning family . This recognizes the all too often ignored psychological and physical needs of the surviving family members. Obviously, the emotional and physical drains on Hospice staff are enormous. But the rewards are just as enormous and gratifying. With the evolution of more and more medical techniques and regimens aimed at increasing the duration of life , it becomes evident that more must be done to improve the quality of that extended life, the American Hospice Concept is a major step in that direction. Hospice services are provided on the basis of health care needs, not on the ability of the patient to pay. Funding is dependent upon grants and donations. As its medical director , Dr. Milch himself donates his time and expertise to work toward the success of all phases of the program. In addition, Dr. Milch has a busy surgical practice and is an associate professor of surgery in his alma mater, SUNY Buffalo School of Medicine. We hope to see the focus of American medicine turn more towards improving the quality of life as well as towards increasing its duration. We thank and salute Dr. Milch for his continuing contribution. Dr. Milch Responds In accepting the honor Dr. Milch said , "In preparing these remarks over the past weeks, I have thought often of my own graduation from Medical School an alarming number of years ago. 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �While most of my memories of that May afternoon are quite vivid, and while I am quite certain I gave a speech then, too, I can't remember anything I said at that time. That may not auger well for the durability of these words, but if their sense can be retained, I will take some measure of comfort. "I have tried to keep in perspective my role here, for while I, with gratitude, accept this recognition in the name of all the Hospice staff, in fact, it is the Hospice concept which is, and should be, cited." He continued, "How remarkable that in the midst of our most rapidly proliferating technologies, at a time when our relationships are specialized, impersonal, and utilitarian, that a concept of care which harkens to the most fundamental tenants, not just of medicine, but of humanity itself, should begin to flourish. "How reassuring, for it bespeaks a widening influence, not of Hospice's simplistic methodologies, but of its principles, its teachings, and their implications for all of living; that the deepest wisdom man can gain is that his destiny is to serve, to aid; that while the aspiration may be to attain, the perfection is to dispense. It reminds us that what happens to another in our presence is not a function of what we know, but of what we are." In conclusion Dr. Milch said, "In this capacity, Hospice is the exemplary ally of everyone it touches in the personal, private effort to stay humane; in the sense of privilege and renewal of purpose it conveys to you who are about to take the Charge of Maimonides, to whom I wish Godspeed and give my heartfelt thanks."D Clement Peterson, Dr. We/s, Robert Koren.

Ketter also cited this year's winner of one of the first SUNY Distinguished Citizen A wards, William C. Baird, a Buffalo businessman and well known civic leader.D Father Edward T. Fisher, the versatile director of the Amherst Campus Newman Center, received the second annual "President's Award" from President Robert L. Ketter at the 1981 Commencement Luncheon, May 17. The award, instituted last year, goes to a member of the University community "who exemplifies standards of devotion and service to the institution that far exceed the ordinary, and who, by personal example, challenges others to rise to excellence. "0 FALL, 1981 7 �Dealing from Strength by President Robert L. Ketter May 17, 1981 I. I first want to extend my congratulations and those of the University to each graduate for the achievement this occasion marks in your life. Although your accomplishment has been individually wrought, it has not been independently attained. You have received encouragement and support from family and friends; from fellow students; and from staff and faculty. You even have been the beneficiaries of the taxpayers of this State. Many persons, therefore, share this achievement with you and through you. In congratulating you, I also congratulate them, not only for their contribution to your individual betterment but for the larger contribution that this represents; that is, their contribution to the betterment of a society that is enriched by a more educated citizenry. II. Since this is my last commencement as President of this University, I felt it might be useful in preparing these remarks to review the inaugural address I delivered after I assumed office in 1970, when many of you were not yet teenagers. For me, this was a way of discovering whether there is a symmetry in beginnings and endings. It also was a way of identifying any continuity of the future in the past and present. As I re-read those remarks, I noted without surprise that one could refer then as now to the University's three-fold mission of teaching, research, and public service. It was obvious, however, that the circumstances in which that mission is now conducted have changed profoundly. These changes have dictated to a large degree varying emphasis on individual activities and their interactions. There have been four major trends that have significantly influenced the manner in which higher education has functioned during Th is is Dr. Ke tter's final commencement address as President. He will re tire in January afte r 11 years as U/ B's president. Afte r a one-year sabbatical h e will re turn to th e faculty as "le ading professor " of engineering and applied scie nces. Dr. Ke tter received the Walter P. Cook e A ward for exemplary service by a non-alumnus from th e U/ B A lumni A ssociation in June.O 8 this past decade. The four have been: the trend toward faculty and staff unionism; increased government regulation; declining rates of increase in financial support combined with inflation; and the shift from a seller's to a buyer's market for students. Two of these, the growth in unionism and regulation, were accelerated by the upheavals that occurred in higher education from the mid-Sixties into the early Seventies. Faculty were faced with the uncertainty of what appeared to be a burgeoning, antiintellectual student movement that sought power of its own. They saw government, reacting in its own way to this movement, begin to exert or talk of exerting a greater degree of regulatory power. Even the administrators of local institutions and state systems moved toward centralization of power and authority - a natural reaction in a time of perceived emergency. Whether the growth of unionism and regulation would have occurred without the impetus of the student movement is debatable. I, for one, believe it would have happened in any event, although the pace would have been slower. The move toward unionism has an inner force of its own; and government, just as any other bureaucracy, would sooner or later have exerted its authority over the sizable amounts of money that were being channeled into higher education. Those funds, as I have noted, have declined in their rate of increase; in fact , when coupled with inflation, real-dollar funding of higher education actually has decreased over the past ten years. Some persons predicted in the late Sixties and early Seventies that such a decline would occur; however, they reasoned that it would be a direct consequence of the disruptions that had taken place on campuses. I do not believe that this was the case. Early in the last decade a widespread public disenchantment with higher education became evident. Higher education had allowed others to claim too much for it, in terms of its utilitarian purposes, and this, coupled with the more fundamental influences of funding competing social programs, the increase and growth of these programs at a time of rising inflation, and the general conviction that higher education was over-extended, all were contributing factors to the resulting decrease in financial support. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Drs. Rahn, Harker, Kette r In addition, in most parts of the country, there was observed the closing and consolidation of both public and parochial schools at the elementary and secondary levels. This has sent shock waves through the higher education community, which has been urged to brace itself for the impact of a significant decline in the number of traditional collegeage students. III. These, then, have been the four major changing circumstances within which higher education has had to function during the past ten years. I have not mentioned such factors as shifts in student interest; the conflict that naturally exists between elitism and egalitarianism; disagreements over a teaching or a research emphasis. These have occurred in the past and will, I am sure, re-appear in the future. The question is: What effects have these major trends had upon our institutions of higher education? Two of them- unionism and regulationtend to work toward similar ends. They establish common, usually least, denominators and produce sameness. They heighten a legalistic framework and give rise to more rather than less management. Both pose threats to institutional autonomy and FALL, 1981 therefore to academic freedom. On intellectual grounds, I have opposed both of these trends throughout the years. Simultaneously, however, I have recognized that from a political point of view they do exist and one must work within them in order to move the institution forward. To do so has placed new and immensely time-consuming demands on the President; and the demands will continue to exist regardless of who occupies that position. The decline in financial support has had an especially demoralizing effect upon higher education, since our institutions were accustomed so long to a favored status. This has resulted in the introduction of a new concept in academic planning- negativism, the planning for contraction and decline. This has been a difficult concept to deal with politically. The tendency has been toward Herculean efforts that produce very little in the way of results - unless, as happened this year in Michigan, an outwardly defined, immediate crisis is suddenly thrust upon an institution and response is required in an exceedingly short period of time . Declining financial support also has had an effect that has been uniquely accentuated here in New York. It has increased competition between the public and private sectors of 9 �higher education. That competition is greater in this state than elsewhere in the nation because New York brought up the rear in developing a strong and vibrant State University system. It relied instead upon the private institutions in this state and the private and public institutions of other states to educate its young. This tradition has resulted in greater public tax support of private higher education in this state than in any other in the nation. Now that the financial pie is shrinking, and in fact is subject to further division, since the state is assuming responsibility for City University, the rivalry between sectors and institutions has sharpened to an even greater extent. Although the rivalry for the public tax dollar is great, it may become secondary to the competition between the sectors for students. The demographic projections are difficult to dispute. Alternatives seem to be limited to increasing the rate of college attendance among traditional age groups, improving retention rates, and attracting new students from among older and disadvantaged groups. All of these strategies are or will be attempted- and probably by all institutions; but in doing so, there may result an erosion of standards. The danger flags already have been raised. IV. If these are some of the effects that the major trends in higher education have had in the past ten years, what do they hold for the future? As I stated earlier, unionism and government regulation will continue to place great demands upon the time of any administration. In regard to the latter, we have seen develop within the last several years an ascendant opposition to regulation. This does not mean, however, that given sufficient time, regulation will disappear. That is not the nature of any bureaucracy. At the optimum, it means that the regulators and the regulated may reach accommodation upon certain types of regulations so that they are more reasonable or are less onerous. It may possibly even mean that eventually each level of administration will become better able to exercise the decisions that should be within its own province. Faculty and staff unions are another matter. Although there have been recent legal 10 rulings that have held that at some institutions the faculty are too involved in management decisions to become unionized, I do not see them disappearing from the scene. I would hope that these unions could rise above the economic self-interests of their members and their own organizations and address a number of the more basic problems and issues facing their institutions. That, however, is not their primary reason for existence, so they will continue to be an impediment to the claim to academic freedom. One can assert the protection of that unique freedom with validity only when one is free of compelling self-interests, which the union is not. Nevertheless, this is a situation that we will have to live with, especially in an uncertain economic climate. Although that climate would be improved considerably if inflation were brought under reasonable control, the real threat to higher education is the decline of the college-age population. The strategies I mentioned earlier intended to increase enrollments already are being attempted in various forms. I am convinced, however, that they will not be sufficient to prevent the closure or consolidation of some institutions, both public and private. Our own institution is not in jeopardy; in fact, we may well benefit from the closing of institutions that do not have our academic strength. This is no reason for complacency. The competition with other public institutions and with the private sector will be very real; it will indeed require a great deal of our attention. It will also require courage. The greatest danger in the competition for students is in an erosion of academic standards. This is especially true for our own institution, for as a University Center our standards should be second to none. Such standards primarily are the responsibility of the faculty, whether for admission or retention. The first full-time Chancellor of this University, Samuel P. Capen, addressed this responsibility early in his administration. "A University," he said, "is a place maintained at great expense to foster the philosophic point of view, to stimulate constructive thinking, because this point of view and this mode of thinking have been found necessary to the progress of civilized society. It is fair to demand that those who cannot capture the philosophic point of view and who cannot THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �learn to think constructively should not consume its resources . . . The decision as to whether certain of those that are in college are qualified to remain is relatively easy," he said. "It can be made, and made justly, if the moral courage of the faculty can stand the strain." I believe our own faculty will meet that test; and the test is surely coming. v. Is the future for higher education as bleak as it might seem? No! Throughout the years, we have been confronted with the movement of ideas and events that form force and counterforce. We attempt to maintain these in some precarious balance and to adjust imbalances. We get the job done. We teach; we develop knowledge; we serve the public. Although we subject ourselves and our institutions to rigorous scrutiny - indeed, higher education is the most scrutinized part of our society - and we base plans and projections upon these evaluations, the fact is that major decisions and changes almost without exception occur as reactions to the immediacy of major pressures and circumstances. One of our nation's most noted academic planners commented on this a year or two ago when he was surveying the future of higher education. "I have no power of divination ," he said, "and I have no blind confidence in projection. I can offer only ... a hope for survival, and an abiding faith in talent and virtue, if we will only continue to cultivate those grapes in the vineyard of higher education. " His faith, just as mine does, rests with the individual. In a sense, therefore, I have come full circle to the inaugural address I once delivered. I could speak then of this University's mission and of the balance and interrelatedness of its three elements. I could say then and now that our future depends upon the individuals who constitute this University. There are many reasons why this institution can deal with the future from a position of strength. We are the only comprehensive university in Western New York and the largest and most broadly based of the University Centers within State University. Our academic programs rank with the best. Our relations with the community are strong and we have a physical plant whose completion is finally in sight. All of these factors, however, FALL , 1981 are overshadowed by the fact that we have on our campus an immense number of faculty and staff and students who care deeply for this University and who are willing to commit themselves to its further development. These individuals form the real position of strength from which we face the future . Robert Browning once wrote that : " ... a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for? " At this University, we have been blessed with an abundance of persons who do indeed reach beyond themselves, and who, in turn , cause the institution to reach beyond itself. They are the ones who have imparted a sense of joy and excitement to my own job over the years. They have made it all worthwhile . Thank you; and good luck.D 11 �Front extronce. Health Care Plan GROUP PRACTICE organized to meet the comprehensive personal and family health needs of members is the trademark of Health Care Plan, according to Dr. Edward Marine, medical director. The former associate dean is also clinical associate professor of medicine and family medicine at the Medical School. The 14 full-time physicians in the rapidly expanding group and more than 70 participating consulting specialists all maintain faculty appointments. "This is part of our commitment to quality and a step to one of our organizational goals," said Dr. Marine. "In developing Health Sciences Centers, our University and others recognized the need to bring the academic resources of the health professions together. Our organization brings the professionals together in an interdisciplinary group practice. The excellence of care focused on the individual relationship between physician and patient is undeniable. Our medical group is convinced that it is possible to incorporate the essential quality elements of that relationship into an overall plan that allows fuller use of the other health professions as partners." Health Care Plan is the first prepaid group practice in the Buffalo area. Now in its third year of operation, the organization serves 22,000 members in a modern well-equipped medical center in West Seneca and a satellite office in Amherst. The original 10,000 square 12 foot facility was developed with a federal HMO grant awarded in 1977. Construction of the present facilities, opened in 1980, was secured by operating revenues and a federal loan program. The fact that HCP is a private health insurance corporation as well as an organized delivery system presents a unique challenge. It must be competitive both in costs and quality with other forms of care and insurance. This means that everyone in the organization must be conscious of costs and the levels of health and satisfaction among members, according to Dr. Marine. "Only a large general hospital could mainta.in more services under one roof", Dr. Marine said. "We stress more outpatient visits, early intervention, preventive care, patient education, and careful control of hospital days. All of the most frequently used health services and medical specialties are available at the medical center . It is difficult for me to imagine a more satisfying setting for medical practice. Much of the paperwork and business demand of practice is reduced or eliminated. Having physiotherapists, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, optometrists, physician assistants, counselors in nutrition, mental health, health education, and social services integrated in the practice has dramatic effects. The ease of consultation with other medical specialists is shared in common with some other group practices. At Health Care Plan there are no financial or physical barriers for the patient and the incorporation of so many other health professions is unique." THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Preventive care and health maintenance are emphasized at the center. All new members are offered initial health assessments tailored to their health histories and individual risk factors. A growing number of special educational programs are available to members dealing with smoking cessation, hypertension, drugs, alcoholism, prepared child birth, weight reduction, diabetes, and other subjects. Ongoing programs in cardiopulmonary resuscitation provided for the staff will be extended to the members in the near future. Mrs. Susan Toth serves as coordinator of these programs while maintaining an active faculty role at the University. Most of the health professionals in the Health Care Plan group participate in one or more of these member education services. The Health Care Plan pharmacy, under the direction of two U/B Pharmacy School faculty members, Fred Bennes and Howard Forman, is another unique feature. The service is carefully integrated into the clinical practice. The formulary is developed jointly with the physician staff, a drug use profile is maintained in every patient record, and personal counseling is extended with each prescription. Members are encouraged to use the staff as a professional resource and the pharmacists participate in a wide range of clinical and educational activities at the center. A close relationship with the School of Pharmacy has proved mutually advantageous. Mrs. Janice Dowd, supervising medical technologist. The Vision Care Center is run by optometrist, Dr. Alex Crinzi. Refractions are provided as a regular benefit of membership and optical dispensing is also performed. Ophthalmology consultation when requested by the primary care physician is provided in the same well-equipped facilities. Vision care is a very popular service with Health Care Plan members. In order to monitor the availability, accessibility, and acceptability of care a fulltime Member Services representative is employed by the plan. Regular surveys of member satisfaction are conducted and every member complaint is documented and Main lobby, reception area. FALL, 1981 13 �receives a formal reply. Ms. Ann Fialko is responsible for Member Relations and also plays an important role in the organizational newsletter , Good Health News, which is another benefit of membership. Counseling is an important part of the plan of care. In addition to health education, nutrition, and social service, mental health is emphasized. Dr. John Robinson of U/B has served as consulting director in guiding the organization's development from the beginning. Psychologists and psychiatric social workers support the primary care staff in providing evaluation, group, family, and individual therapy and referral to institutional services when necessary. In order to maintain a personal approach to care in a rapidly growing organization the physician and support staff is divided into small practice groups responsible for the care of a limited number of patients. Family practice , internal medicine , pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, general surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, and radiology are currently provided at the medical center. "The other medical specialties are readily available on referral by our primary care physicians. We have contractual relationships of various kinds with a large number of specialists who are on the staff of our affiliated hospitals," Dr. Marine said. "Most of our hospital work is done at the Buffalo General, Deaconess, and Children's Hospital of Buffalo. We use the Erie County Medical Center and Roswell Park Memorial Institute for special purposes. The terms of the insurance benefits for our members are such that we have made arrangements for care when they are traveling in other states 14 and abroad. The authorization process is essential to good utilization control and the financial viability of our organization." A staff is provided to arrange all referrals, hospitalizations, and the use of other community agencies. This proves to be a major convenience to members while maintaining careful records and control of outside utilization. Health Care Plan, a private not-for-profit corporation, has an active Board of Directors comparable to that of a voluntary hospital. Dr. William Mosher has served as Chairman of the Board through its development. Directors are representative of the business, labor, medical, university, and consumer interest of the plan. They are committed to the development of an organization that is consumerresponsive and cost-effective. Dr. Howard Forman, pharmacist. �Dr. Ronald P.

While expansion must be on our agenda, we will not allow membership to grow so rapidly that it impairs our health services. New members will be added only in accordance with staff and facility capacity." Dr. Goshen, M'70, a clinical assistant professor of social and preventive medicine, is co-ordinator for the freshman medical care organization course. Drs. Goshin and Marine work together as a team in managing Health Care Plan. They enjoy recalling the earlier collaboration between faculty and students in which they shared when the Lackawanna Community Health Center was developed in the late 1960s. It is expected that Health Care Plan will prove to be an increasingly important and valuable resource as a model for primary care education in all the Health Sciences Schools.D New Graduate Program Dr. Barry Eckert, assistant professor of anatomical sciences, is directing a new interdisciplinary graduate program in cell motility. It involves cooperation arrangements between two departments in the Health Sciences (anatomical and biophysical sciences) and one in the core campus (cell and molecular biology). Six U/B faculty form the core of the program. Dr. Eckert expects other area scientists interested in cell motility will participate in seminars and other activities. Faculty in the program are: Drs. Kenneth Edds, Sabina Sobel and Eckert, anatomical sciences; Victor Chen and C. Richard Zobel, biophysical sciences; and James LaFountain, cell and molecular biology. The program allows grad students to rotate among departments, and provides a vehicle through which they can associate with a pool of faculty who can act as advisors. The program will allow for a formal exchange of graduate students and resources as well as make it easier to apply for federal research grants, notes Eckert. Although participating faculty will retain offices and labs in their respective departments, the group will meet once a month to discuss research efforts. Such sessions are beneficial, explained Eckert, because the involved faculty represent different perspectives and can give important feedback on scientific papers before they are submitted for publication.D 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Philip B.

Sterns is a Public Relations Intern at the American Lung Association of Western New York. He is a Public Relations studen t at Utica College of Syracuse University. Robert C. Uerz is the Consultant for Preventive Services for the American Lung Association of Western ew York. Photographs were taken by Jon Williams, Assistant Director of Public Relations at iagara Falls Memorial Medical Center.D With the assistance of four local doctors, several other area medical professionals, and emergency rescue personnel, the American Lung Association of Western New York has published the "Chemical Emergency Action Manual." The first publication of its kind in this country, the looseleaf hard cover book instructs emergency rescue and medical personnel how to handle the health and safety hazards of 35 common industrial chemicals. Dr. William J. Fiden, Jr., M.D., (a 1970 University of Buffalo graduate) and Dr. Hadjisphyros Kosti, M.D., of Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, worked on the 10 member Emergency Manual Task Force that researched and designed the manual, while Dr. Mitchell Zavon of Hooker Chemical Corporation, and Dr. Theolosos Logaridis of iagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, were part of the seven member technical review committee that evaluated and corrected the manual. Work on the chemical manual began in December 1977 when Robert Eagler, CRTT, an American Lung Association volunteer and Director of Cardiopulmonary Services at iagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, introduced the idea to American Lung Association of Western New York's Occupational Health Subcommittee. After further study was suggested by the subcommittee, Mr. Eagler formed the Emergency Manual Task Force to assist him in researching the project. Besides Dr. Fiden and Dr. Kosti, the group consists of physicians, occupational health nurses, industrial safety supervisors, a laboratory assistant, and an ambulance service owner. To give the project direction, American Lung Association of Western New York's Consultant for Preventive Services, Robert C. Uerz, was assigned to supervise the project in the fall of 1978. The task force's first job was to investigate the need and availability of a chemical manual in the United States. After writing many letters to industry and talking with medical professionals, it was discovered that despite the need for a manual, none had ever been published. In the iagara Falls area, where many chemical-producing companies were located, the need was especially great. " Exposure to chemicals in an industrial setting has always bee n a problem, especially on the Niagara Frontier, " says Dr. Fiden. A manual was needed because no other publication provided complete treatment for victims of chemical emergencies." 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �With this in mind, the task force began designing and researching a manual for use on the Niagara Frontier. Despite being designed for use in this area, the manual's application is universal for all chemical industries. Designing the manual itself took more than one year. "It took much time to design the chemical card," Dr.. Fiden recalls. "We had to organize our ideas into a workable format." After designing the chemical cards, each member of the group began the process of researching the material for the manual. This included obtaining chemical data sheets from chemical companies, talking with medical and emergency rescue personnel, and reading available related literature. During this time and throughout the project, regular meetings were held where the task force would discuss their findings and problems encountered. In February 1980, the writing of the manual was completed. However, the work was not yet finished. After writing the manual, the task group decided to use an outside source to evaluate the chemical manual, correct mistakes, and refine the language. A technical review committee of emergency rescue and medical professionals, not already involved in the project, was established. After a few months, the committee completed their work and okayed the manual for printing. Finally, in April, 1,000 copies of the manual were printed. A grant from CECOS International of Niagara Falls helped defray printing costs. The finished product lists 35 chemicals, each on a light yellow, non-reflective, black printed card. This combination of colors makes the manual easy and fast to read. Among the chemicals listed are: vinyl chloride (used in the production of plastic products). sodium hydroxide (an agent used to bleach pulp and paper). and hexane (an ingredient in gasoline and other chemicals). An industrial worker lays stricken after being exposed to a chlorine cloud. By using the chemical emergency manual, rescuers know the hazards they face in aiding the worker. Pholos by jon Williams FALL, 1981 19 d- �emergency room physician receives information from th e emergency medical technician on the chemical exposure and the treatment given to the patient. An Although the majority of chemicals are used only in an industrial capacity, four can be found in your garage or medicine cabinet. They are kerosene, chlorine, sulfuric acid (found in most automobile and vehicle batteries). and hydrogen peroxide (in its diluted form, an antiseptic). The front of each chemical card gives information and instructions to rescue workers, firemen, and others arriving on the scene of a chemical emergency. At the top right of most cards, is a "hazardous materials classification diamond." Originally designed by the ational Fire Protection Association, the diamond is actually four smaller diamonds in a large configuration. The left, upper, and right diamonds list numbers for health hazard, flammability, and reactivity respectively. The higher the number, the more dangerous. Cards that have a lower diamond list specific hazards. The middle of the card lists immediate hazards, including rescuer's protection, fire and exposure. Finally, utilizing the same three categories as immediate hazards, the bottom section of the cards tells what to do in case of an accident. Information on the reserve side of each chemical card is designed to be used by emergency room and related medical personnel once the victim(s) has been initially treated on the scene. Thus, by following the chemical manual's instructions for immediate treatment, a fire-fighter or EMT can save time and trouble for emergency room people. The back of the card lists signs and symptoms of exposure to the chemical, as well as space for any special instructions an individual may wish to write. Medical instructions cover the lower two thirds of the card, treatment for the skin, eyes, ingestion, and inhalation on the plant site, in the ambulance, and emergency room are listed in an easyto-read chart. It should be noted that the recommended treatment listed under "Emergency Room" are suggested actions to be used in triggering a memory response within the emergency room physician. In no ways does this section prescribe the total treatment for the patient. Publication of the manual should prove of great benefit to chemical companies, who constantly worry about chemical fires or gas releases. "I think the chemical manual will definitely be an asset for chemical industries," says AI Swavy, Health and Safety Supervisor at Olin Chemical Corporation in Niagara Falls, New York. "By using the manual, we can often treat injuries in the plant immediately lessening their severity. We can also save rescuers time by giving them information on the chemical involved." What do the doctors who worked on the manual think of the finished product? "I like the manual very much," says Dr. Kosti. "It gives a good continuity of treatment from the site of the accident to the emergency room." 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Dr. Fiden is also impressed with the manual. ''I'm quite pleased with what we turned out. The information is concisely presented, not wordy, and easy to use." Marketing of the manual has started on a positive note. Of the 1,000 copies printed, more than 500 have already been sold. The biggest customer thus far has been the Olin Chemical Corporation, who purchased 200 manuals which it then donated to various groups as a community service. Other companies with copies of the manual include: Allied Chemical Corporation, Ashland Petroleum, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation, and Carborundum Corporation. Besides industry, fire companies, hospitals, police departments, and various departments of ew York State have also bought the manual. "At the American Lung Association of Western New York, our future plans call for marketing the manual nationally, and expanding from 35 to 45 or 55 chemical cards," says project supervisor Robert Uerz. ''I'm very proud of the manual and those individuals who helped develop it. If the manual can save one life, then we've accomplished what we set out to do ."D Orthopaedic Residents Four physicians were honored at the 10th annual U/B Orthopaedic Resident's Scientific Day in June at the Erie County Medical Center, according to Dr. Eugene R.

Over 15 % of the elderly are in nursing homes or institutions. 2. Twenty-five percent of all elderly suf- fer from senile dementia. The elderly, who total 10 % of our population, are the nation's major users of medications, professional time, and health dollars, according to Ms. Linda ichols, research instructor in medicine. "By the year 2000, it is estimated that the percentage of elderly in the population will rise to 15 % and they will be consuming 50% of the nation's health care dollars. Physicians can expect to treat greater numbers of older persons in the years ahead. Management of the elderly patient is often complex, due to the multifactorial nature of disease, accumulation of chronic diseases and the effect of social and psychological factors on the elderly patient." Ms. ichols continued: "The Division of Geriatrics/Gerontology has developed a Geriatric Medicine Selective which gives first year medical students exposure to these problems of the elderly." *The answers to the questions? Both are false: 1. 5 o/r; 2. 10'/e. General goals of the Selective include: the major psychological, physiological and social changes of aging, and their effects on disease in the elderly. 2.

The format of the course includes topic presentations, discussions and the "work up" of selected patients, in the hospital, at home or in a nursing home. During the final session, this year, Dr. Jack MacDonell of the University of Winnipeg, Canada, presented his "Aging Game" to the class. Medical students, faculty from a variety of disciplines, nurse practitioner students and counseling interns worked together in teams to delineate various aspects of aging. The lesson learned was that the most successful teams were the ones containing members from different disciplines whose goals and expertise complimented and reinforced each other. Emphasis in this course is on treating the patient as a whole. Psychological, social and even environmental factors (can a patient with arthritis go home to second floor apartment?) become critical in planning care for the older person. Students must learn to use a whole range of skills and many facets of their medical education. Students are often surprised at how much can be done for older persons. Their comments reflect these attitudes: "I now realize the worth of making the patient's life more liveable without curing the problem." "You can't give up on geriatric patients."D Betty Galloway.

The new technology was developed by Drs. Monte Blau and Hank F. Kung of the Medical School's uclear Medicine Department. The agreement was negotiated through State University's Office of Inventions and Licenses. Dr. Blau is professor and chairman of the department and Dr. Kung is assistant professor. In commenting on the agreement with Union Carbide, State University Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, Jr., said that the agreement fulfills one of the University's most important missions- to strengthen the economic base of the State through research and public service. "The agreement represents the type of industrial partnership which SU Y is actively seeking in order to develop and make available to the consumers of the state and nation the advances made by researchers in the University system," Dr. Wharton commented. The work of Drs. Blau and Kung relate to the development of a potential second generation of radiopharmaceuticals that show promise for a new dimension for monitoring brain and heart function. The development recognizes that acid levels in certain cells of the body increase when the blood supply is adversely affected, such as occurs in many brain and heart disorders. Drs. Blau and Kung have developed a set of radiodiagnostic compounds that, in animal tests, demonstrate the capability to penetrate into cells and to be retained there by the change in the cell acidity for a sufficient time to permit a nuclear scan. The information from such a scan could assist in more rapid diagnoses of some brain or heart disorders. "Although medical efficacy in humans has yet to be proved," stated Dr. Robert Bollinger, vice president of Union Carbide's medical nuclear products business division, "we are excited about the potential of the new technology." Dr. Bollinger pointed out that if the results demonstrated in animals can be reproduced in humans, "it will, for the first time, provide the medical profession with a new and readily available diagnostic tool that can report quickly on intracellular activity." Union Carbide plans to make the new compounds available in the future to selected researchers for further independent evaluations. At the same time, the company will investigate the development of other radiodiagnostic compounds based on the new technology and in close collaboration with the SUNY researchers. Union Carbide has been in the forefront of developing and providing medical radiodiagnostic products and radiochemicals. 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Drs. Kung, Kette r, Blau , Donald O 'Dowd , president, SUNY Research Foundation , and Washington . The Union Carbide-SU Y agreement is the first with major developmental potential involving State University and its research faculty to be consummated since SU Y revised its patent policy for inventions and discovery late in 1979. The new SUNY patent policy agreement established the inventors' share of patent proceeds at 40 percent of gross royalty received by the University. The remaining 60 percent of royalties is used to further research activities. Lamar Washington, senior manager of inventions and licenses for the SU Y Research Foundation, said that SU Y's industrial research outreach is part of a growing national trend, in which many universities and colleges are seeking closer ties with industry and actively helping faculty obtain patents and find licenses. "An exclusive license covering inventions by research professors is something many companies have been seeking for a long time," Mr. Washington said. "The new SUNY policy helps protect the substantial investment by the company required to get new products on the market. It also provides a much needed stimulus to American technology development," he added.O FALL, 1981 25 �Clockwise from left: Drs.

Approximately 175 students, faculty and alumni and their spouses turned out for the occasion.D 27 �Dr. Rahn, Distinguished Professor Dr. Rahn Dr. Hermann Rahn, distinguished professor of physiology, was presented the 1981 Chancellor Charles P. orton Medal during the 135th General Commencement at the Buffalo Convention Center in May. The Chancellor's Medal, U/B's highest honor, has been awarded since 1925 in recognition of an "achievement which is great and ennobling." In his tribute to Dr. Rahn, President Robert L. Ketter said, "His work, in sum, has helped launch man into space and plunge him to ocean depths never before explored. His pure research - and this is the ultimate purpose of so much that is done in universitieshas expanded the frontiers of our existence." Rahn, said Ketter, "has been a pioneer in the study of man and animals in relation to different environments. He has contributed basic knowledge to our understanding of the conditions necessary for human survival at different altitudes and depths and in other extreme environments. He has established the fundamentals of pulmonary function testings; and in doing so, he has been a leader in the development of highly ingenious measuring devices to serve this purpose. "As a field scientist, he has displayed enormous energy. He has been equally at home on the side of a mountain in Colorado testing respiration, or in a bobbing boat investigating physiologic stress on divers in Korea, or sitting quietly and patiently to develop an understanding of the ways in which avian eggs support embryos within." Just as important, however, the President went on, has been Rahn's teaching. "Although he could have justified lighter instructional duties" because of his research and service as chairman of the Department of Physiology, "he never did." Rahn's colleagues, said Ketter, "point to his willingness to devote so much individual attention to student development and his exploration of new teaching techniques. As a result, he has contributed to the training of a great number of scientists who now occupy important positions in this country and abroad." In some of "our most trying times as an institution," the President continued, Rahn "has served as a rallying point for faculty sharing his commitment to quality and to the freedom to investigate whatever is unknown. He has held fast to principle while others have substituted emotion for reason and slogans for thought." "His career and life have helped breathe life into the idea of a 'complete university,' " the President concluded. A member of the faculty here since 1956, Rahn, 68, received his A.B. from Cornell and his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester, where he also spent 15 years on faculty. He holds honorary degrees from Yonsei University in Korea and the University of Paris. 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A member of the ational Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Rahn continues his research into the physiologic behavior of the heart and lungs, particularly under stress conditions, in the University's futuristic Environmental Physiology Lab, a facility which came into existence during his tenure as chairman of the department. The Lab's high pressure chamber, which through his efforts was reconstructed to provide the highest capacity in the world, is capable of simulating the underwater pressures of 170 atmospheres, the pressure encountered one mile beneath the sea. During Rahn's era as chairman of physiology, its national academic ranking by the American Council on Education rose from 20th in 1964 to seventh in 1971.0 Dr. Felix Milgram, professor and chairman of microbiology, was named "Distinguished Professor" by the State University of ew York Trustees in April. This is the highest rank that can be given to a professor in the SUNY system. A native of Poland, Dr. Milgram pursued his education and carried out his early work during the turmoil of World War II and its aftermath, attaining at the age of 35 the title of professor in the Department of Microbiology at Wroclaw. In 1958 he joined the faculty of U/B and since 1967 he has served as professor and chairman of the Department of Microbiology in the School of Medicine. Dr. Milgram has made significant contributions to numerous subdisciplines within the field of immunology. Among them are serological and epidemiological studies on syphilis, investigations of naturally occurring antibodies, the discovery of anti-antibody, the discovery of a new class of tissue-specific antigens. Other contributions include work on the rejection of kidney transplants, the study of autoimmune diseases, tumor immunology and the regulation of immunological resistance. For more than 25 years his research on Multiple Sclerosis has led to a better understanding of identifying its cause and diagnosing its presence in the body. Author of more than 300 publications, Dr. Milgram's long list of honors includes honorary degrees from the Universities of Vienna, Lund, Heidelberg and Bergen. He is currently president of the Transplantation Society. The distinguished professorship was established to recognize achievement of fame and esteem in a field as a result of original contributions. Appointment is based on campus nominations which are reviewed by an ad hoc committee of current distinguished professors and outside consultants from the respective fields.O FALL, 1981 29 Dr. Milgram - -...----- Dr. Milgram �Dr. Musselman Dr. Musselman The following statement, honoring Dr. Luther Musselman, was read at Tuesday's Faculty Senate meeting (Feb. 10, 1981) by Professor Gerald Rising: "It has been a policy of the Faculty Senate of this University not to single out individual colleagues for honors. Today on the occasion of his retirement, we knowingly and quite appropriately take unprecedented action then to honor an equally unprecedented colleague and friend, Luther Musselman. "In the finest tradition of medicine you, Luther Musselman, have served as family doctor to our University community. You have not only made house calls to dormitory or classroom whenever needed, day or night, but you have also attended voluntarily many University functions simply to be on hand in case of an emergency. In the face of the overwhelming numbers of this large University, you have yet been able to know and treat each patient as an individual. You have taken personal responsibility not just to provide first aid but also to offer assistance, assurance, and counsel, to see that parents and friends are informed, to help obtain academic support, and to check back to see that recovery continues. "Hundreds of us on this Faculty cherish one or more personal encounters with you. Many have seen you respond quickly and incisively to the needs of an accident victim, others your patient ministering to a bereaved parent, others your immediate action in an emergency, still another your support of a student whose needs it had become apparent were more emotional than physical ... the list is endless. "We seek to honor you, but indeed, Luther, we cannot compete with the honor you have given us. We thank you. We are proud to have been your colleagues for some of your thirty-four years of association with this University; we look forward to knowing you as a colleague still for many years to come."O Dr. Imre Magass. director of urology at Erie County Medical Center, accepts a videotape system equipped with 22 tapes on a range urology treatment problems valued at $30,000 from Norwich Eaton Pharmaceutical's David Pace, professional products group. "The tapes." Dr. Magoss said, "will be used for training urology residents and medical students. Dr. Magoss is a professor of urology at U/ B School of Medicine and was acting chairman of urology prior to Dr. M. Conder's appointment.O 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Dr. David Harker, emeritus professor of biophysics at U/B received one of the first honorary degrees to be awarded by !he State University of ew York. He received the honorary Doctor of Science degree during U/B's General Commencement exercises at the Buffalo Convention Center on Sunday, May 17. Dr. Harker is among 15 men and women who will be cited this spring as the first honorary degree recipient in State University history. An action of the 1979 Legislature authorized the awarding of honorary degrees by SUNY. Considered to be one of the founders of modern crystallography (the study of forms in crystals), Dr. Harker was research professor of biophysics from 1960 to 1976, when he was named emeritus professor. He is currently continuing his research at the Medical Foundation of Buffalo, Inc., with funding from the National Science Foundation. Among his contributions to the science are major discoveries which are said to have changed the course of crystallography study. The Harker Sections, one of his early discoveries which facilitated the determination of crystal structures, especially those containing one or several heavy atoms, is still recognized today as the most effective technique for the solution of certain classes of crystal structures. A nominee for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1979, Dr. Harker is also considered one of the world's leading x-ray crystallographers, with major contributions to the theory of protein structure. His current research involves the nature of color symmetry space groups which will be helpful in understanding the structures of substances with magnetic properties. Author of numerous publications, Dr. Harker was a student of abel Laureate Linus Pauling. His many honors and awards include the American Chemical Society Schoellkopf Award, the Fankuchen Award of the American Crystallographic Association and the Sigma Xi Award for meritorious service to science. His memberships include the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the ational Association for the Advancement of Science.D FALL, 1981 31 Dr. Harker Dr. Harker �The Case for a New Requirement by Dr. Richard Grazi, cciV, M'81 What I am about to propose will not be very popular among medical students, but then more hard work never is ... My concern is not medical education, but rather the education of medical students. I am not one to dwell on semantics, but let me explain. Medical education, at U/B and in this country in general, has several, oftenaddressed weaknesses, but none so serious that it threatens the quality of future medical practice. Overall, we are doing a good job of teaching medicine. However, learning medicine and receiving a proper education are two very different things. There are those who would argue that all doctors are well-educated. These are mostly lay people who, for diverse reasons, are wont to apotheosize physicians. A more prevalent viewpoint is that the business of doctors is medicine and all that matters, therefore, is a mastering of medical knowledge . Simply stated, a doctor needn't be educated, just good. I suppose that, indeed, one would prefer one's surgeon to know Schwartz than to know Kant, but somehow this argument leads astray from my point. Our educational system need not be so one-dimensional. It should produce doctors who are alert to the human situation, mentally prepared to deal with non-visual, non-tactile, non-testable information . In essence, we need to return thought to its proper place in our education. Certainly, intellectual curiosity and creativity abound in any group of students beginning medical school. Although admission criteria often exclude good, intelligent applicants, the system is not all bad. I have known enough medical students during the past four years to realize that, regardless of the unfortunate emphasis on pre-career training at the expense of a college education, vibrant minds are not lacking. Unfortunately, what happens to them during the ensuing years is another, often-recited sad story. The astute thinker is not quickly or easily transformed. It only begins with anatomy, biochemistry, pathology and pharmacology. The necessary memorization of tens of thousands of facts may involve an enormous contribution of precious neurons, but there are probably more than enough to spare. More important is the non-exercise of more 32 developed areas of the mind. Then, during the clinical years, when the rigors of conforming and the persistent threat of being less-thanbest overcome what is left of the scrawny psyche, the final blow is dealt. The abundant well of ideas goes dry, leaving instead a neat, hollow space to fill with more medicine, more medicine and still more medicine. If this description is not quite accurate, the problem is no less real. Although I can describe the event with certainty only within myself, others around me talk of similar occurrences. At this crossroads of our medical careers, we are beset with an intellectual malaise that is perhaps just the prodrome of a more insidious disease. And we are worried. There are several possible cures, but my purpose here is to discuss a form of prevention. Surely, reviewing admission policies and educational objectives is in order. However, seeing constructive changes in these is beyond my immediate hope. In fact, changing the content of one course in just our own medical school seems a substantial task. I propose, instead, the addition of one requirement for graduation, to be called the Senior Project. A few words about how this idea developed will best explain. Midway through the third year, about the time when I first realized that one can really live several months without giving serious thought to anything but clerkships, I decided to study a problem that had recently caught my interest. (The exact subject is irrelevent to this article; let it suffice to say that it was only peripherally related to medicine.) During the year that followed, I became increasingly absorbed with my subject. The results of this work are now in the form of a senior thesis, but that neat wrapping downplays the academic and emotional upheaval of which it was born. When I read my thesis, I remember phone calls, and meetings with strangers, and notes, and new libraries, and being surprised, and more notes, and being confused, and writing, and rewriting, and being discouraged, and staring at blank paper, and being fascinated, and rewriting, and giving up, and taking notes, and going for walks, and rewriting, and - well, the point is made. I wonder, now, what would be if I had consciously channeled all those efforts into my personal development. Some knowledge, I suppose, would have been won or lost; but no THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �matter what the work entailed, one result is always the same: the challenge exercises the mind. It is this notion of the thesis that I want to communicate, not the subject itself. To vigorously pursue a new idea , to deliberately explore one's creativity, to bring order to even a small problem that one confronts - these are the beginnings of education. I believe that this is an invaluable part of our training as physicians. It increases our understanding of ourselves, heightens our appreciation of others and, above all, lays open our minds to the new and different. If we are to progress in our professional and personal lives , these are the sine qua non . Let me quickly add that I have no preference for purely intellectual pursuits . The purpose of the proposed senior project is to learn something about one's self, and not to achieve any other objectively valuable goal. I have a friend, for instance, who used his free senior time to learn chess. Others have traveled to some unlikely areas of the globe. The senior year is tailor-made for such adventures. Some may learn a new language, or a new instrument, or find a new friend , or a new love , or a different life altogether. The possibilities are endless. The only requirement would be that the project is unrelated to the existing medical school curriculum, and that it is done well. Fun, to be sure, is by no means excluded. FALL, 1981 Again, the spectrum of possible projects is limited only by individual imagination. To receive permission to graduate, however , a written statement (length optional] explaining the project would be necessary. at only would this create some interesting reading material , but it would also encourage students to organize their thoughts in a meaningful and, potentially, very creative fashion. In essence , the project would be an exercise in effective communication as well as in original thinking. Inasmuch as the two are inextricably linked - for, after all, what good is one without the other? - the writing should pose no extra burden on those who have seriously pursued their project. Admittedly, the endeavor I propose should not be mandatory. Transforming what should be a routine part of our lives into a part of the curriculum is somehow demeaning to any genuine accomplishment. But every medical student recognizes the temptation to succumb to cerebral lassitude . For those who resist, the senior projects have already been done; for the less heroic, the requirement would refresh some neglected talents. The senior year of medical school offers many different opportunities to those with a keen eye for them. In some respects , it is the last chance for the purely egotistical pursuit of self-awareness. I propose that the demonstration of such, though only a prelude to authentic education, be a requirement for graduation. Perhaps this may serve as the first example.D 33 �Lonny Behar, Coral Weinstein, ond colleague. Korin Klingman, Jon Holmlund, Deon John Naughton.

Lambert was unveiled ovember 16 by the Heart Parents Association of Children's Hospital in the intensive care unit waiting room of Children's Hospital. Dr. Lambert, who died in 1974, was largely responsible for the world-wide reputation of Children's Hospital as a center for the treatment of heart disease in children. The professor of pediatrics joined the Medical School faculty and Children's Hospital in 1949. Two years later he founded the cardiology department at Children's, and in 1960 he became its director. Dr. Martin J. Downey Jr., clinical associate professor of anesthesiology, praised Dr. Lambert's skills, personality and administrative ability. "Another of his great talents was his ability to get people to work together and keep things going smoothly." Dr. Lambert was graduated cum laude from Harvard College in 1938 with a Bachelor of Science degree. He received his M.D. degree in 1942 from the Harvard Medical School. He served his internship in Massachusetts General Hospital. During World War II he was a Captain in the Army Medical Corps in the European Theater of Operations. In 1948, Dr. Lambert went to Johns Hopkins Hospital as an assistant physician and instructor in pediatrics in its Cardiac Clinic. While there he worked with Dr. Helen Taussig, a pioneer in the study of children's heart disease diagnosis and correction. Later he went to England where he worked in the Departments of Clinical Physiology and Cardiology in the Hospital for Sick Children. Dr. Lambert helped establish the Western New York branch of the American Heart Association and was a former chairman of the Association's Council on Rheumatic Fever and Congenital Heart Disease. He was secretary of the International Society of Cardiology and an honorary member of the European Association of Pediatric Cardiology. He held office in several local, regional and state professional organizations. He also contributed articles on heart disease to many medical journals and books.O 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The Dent Neurologic Institute at the Millard Fillmore Hospital celebrated its 10th anniversary in June by opening a new neurodiagnostic wing. Dr. William R. Kinkel, M'54, director of the institute noted this is the beginning of a new challenge in a new decade. "We are always planning ahead because the technology and research in neurology demands that we respond quickly to the new achievements and research in treatment of disorders of the brain." The new neurodiagnostic wing will provide vital comprehensive services to patients who have any illness related to the brain or related functions (neuro-ophthalmology) neuro-otology. The Dent Institute was founded by the late Harry M. Dent, a successful local industrialist, who suffered from Parkinson's Disease. The Dent Foundation, which has 13 members on its board of directors, continues to provide a major portion of its endowment to the institute. Harry M. Dent Jr., son of the founder, is foundation president. In 1973 the Dent Institute acquired a CATT Scanner for $317,000 from a London, England company. This was the first instrument for computerized brain scanning in Western New York. According to Dr. Kinkel the Dent Institute is an effective link between the clinical research of academia and the experience of private practice. Dr. Kinkel is a clinical professor of neurology and clinical associate professor of anatomical sciences at the Medical School. He is also chairman of the neurology department at Millard Fillmore Hospital. Other Dent Institute staff members are: Drs. William McHugh, Svend Gothgen, Judith Caparo, Lawrence Jacobs, L.D.

FALL, 1981 37 Dent Institute Dr. Kinkel, President Leon Carson, Mr. Dent �25 Lifeline Units It's called Lifeline, and for the handicapped and the elderly living alone it could mean immediate help in an emergency at the touch of a button, thanks to the generosity of a Buffalo and Niagara Falls firm. Lifeline is an automatic telephone signal system linking the homebound person with an emergency control station and in turn with neighbors, relatives and, if needed, emergency assistance. Sisters of Charity Hospital introduced the first Lifeline program in Western ew York in mid-March. The Sisters Lifeline system will initially consist of 25 Lifeline home units donated to Sisters Hospital by Mader Capital of Buffalo and CECOS International of Niagara Falls. Each Lifeline system consists of a table unit which attaches to any standard modular telephone and a small remote triggering box which the client carries on his person around the house. If the client feels ill or needs immediate assistance and is unable to dial directly for help, all that need be done is to press the button on the remote unit. When the button is pushed the table unit is signaled to seize the phone line and alert the Lifeline Control Center in the Emergency Department at Sisters Hospital. The Lifeline units are supplied to clients with only a nominal monthly fee assessed for maintenance and repair costs. The monthly service charge will also help the hospital to acquire additional Lifeline units. In allocating the first 25 Lifeline units the hospital has screened candidates for need. Those persons who live alone, have little outside contact and have a physical condition which indicates a need for the Lifeline unit received the first units. Mr. Frank Nero, president of CECOS International and chairman of the Sisters Hospital Foundation said the Lifeline system contains benefits for both the client and the community. "Lifeline enables the elderly, handicapped and others to acquire a feeling of security within the confines of their own homes," Mr. Nero said. "The Lifeline system can also help reduce the need for hospitalization. This benefits all of us."D Alumni Tours November 20-December 5 $1,799.00 (per person, double occupancy) Italy, Switzerland, France (Rome, Florence, Alpine Village, Geneva, Paris) $1,099.00 (per person, double occupancy) November 24-December 4 Honolulu, 7 days; Kona, 3 days (For further information call: Association, (716) 831-3567. 38 J.

G ROUND WILL BE BROKEN this fall for the Buffalo General Hospital's $166.4 million program of construction, consolidation and renovation, according to Dr. William V. Kinnard Jr., BGH president. "More than five years of intense planning and negotiation have gone into this project which will enable us to replace obsolete facilities and create an environment for quality care to flourish," Dr. Kinnard said. Completion is expected in 1986. The new construction phase of the building program will create a 16-story tower at High and Ellicott Streets to house approximately 743 medical/surgical beds, the surgical suite, radiology, and other diagnostic and treatment services. Phase two will include the renovation of existing facilities on High Street. The completed medical complex, inclusive of the Community Mental Health Center, 80 Goodrich St., will accomodate a total of 950 beds. The Hospital's building application outlines a plan for the phased conversion of acute care beds at Deaconess to extend ed care beds. The Emergency Room and outpatient services at the Humboldt Pkwy. site will remain in full operation after all inpatient services have been moved to High St. The BGH fund, a ten million dollar public fund drive, has been established to procure the down payment for the multimillion dollar project, the largest single fund-raising effort for any one institution in Buffalo's history. The BGH Fund is the first community-wide capital campaign to be conducted in support of The Buffalo General Hospital in over 30 years. The program of new construction and renovation is designed largely to correct existing deficiencies at the Hospital's High Street site. The Buffalo General Hospital, 100 High Street, and the De aconess Hospital of Buffalo, 1001 Humboldt Parkway, merged in January 1979, forming one of the largest Hospital systems in the United States. BGH is also the major teaching affiliate of the U/B Medical School.D FALL, 1981 39 $166.4 Million BGH Construction �THE PORTRAIT OF JAMES PLATT WHITE, M.D. 1811-1881 During the summer of 1976 one of the most significant works of art in the collection of the School of Medicine (and the University) was recovered from an obscure location in the main reading room of Lockwood Library. The portrait of James Platt White, M.D., one of the founders of the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo, and one of its most prestigious faculty, had been "banished" to the vault and later the walls of Lockwood Library when the remodeling of the Health Sciences Library in Capen Hall in the late 1960's resulted in a contemporary style of decoration incompatible, it was apparently thought with the traditional style of the small collection of faculty portraits located in the library. Four other oil portraits and a bronze portrait bust sharing this same temporary lack of regard were also removed to storage. All but two items have been or shortly will be returned to the custody of the school. The portrait of Dr. White while unidentified on either canvas or frame was easily recognizable when compared with the several surviving photographs of him taken at various ages. The portrait is undated, but beneath the grime of over a hundred years of typical institutional neglect the dim signature of the artist, Thos. LeClear .A., was visible. LeClear, born in Oswego, New York in 1818, moved to Buffalo in 1847 after fifteen years in London, Ontario. He remained here until1863 in which year he was also elected to the ational Academy of Design. In 1862 he joined with other prominent citizens of Buffalo in founding the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy. Many of his portraits survive, among them those of William Cullen Bryant, Millard Fillmore, Edwin Booth, William Page, American portraitist (in the Corcoran Gallery, Washington, D.C.) and Ulysses S. Grant. An example of his genre painting, "The Buffalo News Boy," is in the collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. LeClear died in Rutheford Park, ew Jersey in 1882. On the advice of the Buffalo Historical Society the portrait was taken to an art conservator group in Cooperstown, ew York, the members of which received their training in the graduate program in fine art restoration of the State University College at Oneonta. 40 Dr. jame s Platt White Over several months the painting was cleaned, the paint film reconsolidated to the old canvas to which a new canvas lining was applied, the surface revarnished and the finished portrait mounted on a new stretcher. The frame in which the picture was found is apparently original and is typical of the period, heavy and ornate. It was initially finished in a fine gold leaf but subsequent efforts to cover the inevitable wear with gold paint destroyed its character. The frame has been refinished in a Ventian red-raw umber finish. The restored portrait now hangs in the main reading room of the Health Sciences Library, a unique and valuable tie to the University's origin, and a continuing reminder that the Department of Medicine was its founding school. (R.L.B.)D THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Medical Industrial Complex T he editor of the ew England Journal of Medicine warned Medical School students and faculty of the "medical-industrial complex" that is prospering. Speaking at the annual Harrington lecture, Dr. Arnold S. Reiman noted that this complex includes proprietary hospitals, nursing homes, diagnostic laboratories, home care services, pain clinics, kidney dialysis centers and other businesses with a combined annual gross income estimated at $40 billion. "The annual growth rate of this complex is 15 to 20 per cent." What disturbs Dr. Reiman is that many of these large corporations are owned in whole or in part by physicians. "This is the most important recent development in American health care. This conflict of interest must be watched and studied during the 1980's." The Harvard Medical School professor of medicine said, "When a doctor prescribes treatment at a hospital, nursing home or laboratory that he owns he may be putting financial gain ahead of the patient's needs. The AMA should declare it unethical for a doctor to derive any income from health care except fees for his own professional services." Dr. Reiman traced briefly the history of private and proprietary hospitals. In 1928 more than one-third of the hospitals were privately owned; in 1968 only 11 per cent were private. "Proprietary nursing homes are the fastest growing segment of the health care system. The National Medical Care Corporation grossed $200 million in 1979 on dialysis," Dr. Reiman said. He also quoted gross profit estimates from The Wall Street Journal. The Harvard professor of medicine is not concerned with the companies that produce drugs, supplies and equipment. "The new suppliers of health care and medical services are his chief worry. Unless doctors give up their financial participation in such units, the public will lose confidence in them." Dr. Reiman noted that there is nothing morally wrong with the free marketing of health care delivery, but it does create problems. "Most people consider it a right- not a service." Dr. Reiman made several other observations: -we must have a quality product at the lowest possible price; -there will be increasing competition between the privateteaching hospitals and the proprietary hospitals; - the medical-industrial complex is a large, rich, successful lobbying organization; -physicians must play a more active role in health care delivery; -physicians should be trustees of their patients; -private health care delivery is probably here to stay; it may be good, but it needs more regulation. In conclusion Dr. Reiman said, "We must study this medicalindustrial complex in more detail. We need much more data before we can draw conclusions. We must be cool, factual and honest in our approach to this national health care problem. "0 FALL, 1981 41 �Love Canal Area Love's Labor Lost In May 1980, a preliminary study sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency, suggested chromosome damage in several residents living adjacent to the Love Canal chemical dumpsite in Niagara Falls. In the subsequent furor, the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta was requested to relieve EPA of health hazard studies and conduct its own. A former Assistant Secretary for Health asked Dean Naughton to set up a working group at the School of Medicine to work with CDC to determine the state of health of approximately 4,000 residents living nearest the Canal and secondly, insofar as possible, determine any long term physical or emotional illnesses. In late June, CDC requested a starting date of August 1. With no model for guidance, groups worked feverishly all summer to write protocols and questionnaires. Dr. James Nolan headed a clinical studies group, Dr. Elliot Ellis - growth and development, Dr. Edward Carr - laboratory studies, Dr. Marvin Herz - psychologic studies, Dr. Steven Barron - neurologic studies, Dr. Bob O'Shea and Dr. John Vena in Social and Preventive Medicine - health questionnaires, and Dr. Robin Bannerman - chromosomes. In midAugust a motel was rented, furnished, and staffed as an on-site base of operations for testing and coordinating under the direction of Dr. Michele Alexander. By late summer, meetings with representatives of the Love Canal residents and CDC resulted in a beginning consensus as to the extent and nature of testing. Outside consultants 42 to CDC, however, had serious reservations as to quality and utility of any information gathered and were pessimistic from the onset. A registry type study (a la Framingham) was suggested as an alternative to physical and laboratory testing. While all agreed the probability being very low of finding systematic damage attributable to exposure to toxic chemicals, the magnitude of the problem in the U.S., called for Love Canal as the time and place to begin measurements with available imperfect tools and methods. While rigorous science was impossible, the discovery of anecdotes could lead to systematic, meaningful data. Decisions made in haste in June, 1980 were not backed up by clear funding allocations. In the change-over of presidential administrations, Love Canal leaked out between the cracks. On the last day of the lame duck Congress, a number of "Christmas tree" items were deleted from appropriations - including Love Canal health studies. Almost four million dollars to be spent initially was scaled down to 1.2 million in November and finally zero. CDC had carried us along until mid-March, 1981 and finally had to beg off- there being little financial or emotional support for environmental hazard studies in the Reagan administration. In the end, nearly one-half million dollars was spent to organize a study and keep it on hold for six months. The economy of Western ew York was improved, but no serious questions were addressed, let alone answered. We learned several lessons from this experience. An endeavor requiring the cooperation of organizations geographically distant, at different levels of government and sophistication, on a project with no model or previous experience, requires a long period of discussions, negotiations, and interpersonal activities to develop trust and consensus. Secondly, funding should never be taken for granted. Third, there occurs an optimum time for action beyond which enthusiasm wanes and the project becomes impossible. The former residents of the Love Canal have scattered, leaving behind a foreboding ghost town.

We look forward to building on the good work of the past year in carrying out the stated purposes of the Medical Alumni Association - "To promote the interests and welfare of the School of Medicine, to advance the cause of medical education, to inculcate a fraternal spirit in the medical undergraduate body, and then to sustain this spirit among the Alumni, and to represent them." We are aware that some confusion exists regarding the variety of appeals for money emanating from the University campus and directed at Medical Alumni. This may be an appropriate tim e to review for you the nature of these solicitations. DUES Statements of your annual Medical Alumni Association dues of $20 will be mailed shortly. These monies are used to support the daily expenses of running this organization (apart from office space and the bulk of secretarial help which is contributed by the Administration]. Our largest budgetary items are for expenses surrounding the program and exhibits of Spring Clinical Day, including the Stockton Kimball Award Lecture and Luncheon. These dues also support a reception in the Spring for the graduating class and support of certain Senior awards and the publication of a Medical Directory. The Board is careful to stay within its budget in an effort to maintain a current minimal dues structure. Our program is not expansionary, and excess funds are invested for maximum return. We urge your continued fine support of the Association by prompt payment of dues which are tax deductible . Most of you are billed separately by the University General Alumni Organization for annual dues of $15. This organization works with us when arranging our annual winter vacation trip to a w arm clima te , and gives reservation priority on that trip to Medical Alumni. We in turn arrange an educational seminar as part of this trip, and you receive early descriptive mailings publicizing this event. Our Past President serves as a Representative to the General Alumni Board of the University. GIFTS Sometime in Fe br ua ry, 1982 th e Me di cal Alumni Associati on will s p o ns o r a co ntinuing e du cation seminar in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands or Mexico. Phyicions will be notified b y moil before Labor Doy.D Quite apart from the above, you receive periodic requests (only once yearly if you make a regular annual gift] for contributions to the School of Medicine, sponsored by the U/B Foundation. Although we lend our support to this important endeavor, this process too is handled separately from our Alumni Organization . o matter what the level of your giving, you may make your gift an unrestricte d one to the Medical School, or restrict its use to a spe cific area of activity within the School. If you wish to make a speci al contribution in the form of a bequest, memorial or endowment, you may arrange this through Mr. James N. Snyder, Vice President, U/ B Foundation, 250 Winspear Avenue, Buffalo, 14215, phone (716) 831-3206. Every five ye ars each member of a Reunion Class is asked to participate in a special anniversary commemorative giving, conducted separa tely by his class officers in cooperation with the U/B Founda tion. Often specific projects are designated within the School for use of these funds. During the anniversary year, the donor is omitted from the annual solicitation by the Foundation . Should you have any question about Alumni-Medical School financial relationships, you may call the Association Office, 8312778 and speak to one of the officers.D �Four Physicians Honored Four physicians at the Erie County Medical Center were honored at the 61st graduation ceremonies for hospital residents.

For most of a generation medical students and physicians were convinced beyond all doubt that the entire process would be federalized and that medicine as once practiced would no longer exist. Well, here we are in 1981, and on the surface at any rate, it may look as if "it's business as usual." Of course, nothing is further from reality. The fact is that a quiet evolutionary revolution has occurred, but rather than for the government to assume control of the medical enterprise, other significant changes have occurred. For example, the experiment of the federal government participating directly in institutional funding has been either deemed a failure or unrealistic. The result has been the withdrawal, gradually, of such support and the transfer of the costs of medical education directly to the institutions and their consumers. This is now manifested by escalating tuition costs at a time when interest rates on loans are extremely high and by many medical schools falling into greater and greater debt. For us at SUNY-Buffalo, we will evidence a significant increase in .tuition. from $3,300 to $4,300 per year in September, 1981 combmed Wlth a reduction of once federally subsidized operating funds from the Capitation Program. This has all happened at a time when New York State's own fiscal situation demands constraint. I bring these subtle changes to your attention so that we all can be aware of the fact that the dread of federal control, if once realistic, is certainly not the situation at present. Rather, in a climate. in wh.ich. t?e society has decided that institutional, programmatic and md1v1dual success or failure should be decided by competitive forces, all medical schools, especially SUNY-Buffal~, will co.ntinue to be dependent on the loyalty and support of 1ts alumm and other benefactors if we are to provide the quality level of m~dical education and the academic leadership that the commumty, state and nation expect of us. For you who are caught up in the same dragnet, continued support of our mission may cause a degree of personal sacrifice. I hope that your love for The School of Medicine and your commitment to its causes and missions will justify such decisions in our favor.D �Summer 1981 Volume 15, Number 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN (USPS 551·860) Published by the School of Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo EDITORIAL BOARD Editor RoBERTS.

SEVENTY-NINE PERCENT of the senior medical students received their first or second choice in the National Postgraduate Matching Program. Twenty-one of the 148 students did not participate in the national program and matched themselves. According to Dr. Leonard Katz the 1981 match was the best in the school's history. The most popular programs were medicine, 47; surgery, 25; pediatrics, 19; and family practice, 14. Forty-one students selected Buffalo based programs for their residency, and another 37 will remain in New York State. The most popular Buffalo post graduate training programs were pediatrics and medicine (8 each], and four in family practice. Others will go to Michigan, Rhode Island Hospital, Bronx Municipal Hospital Center, and North Carolina for programs in medicine. For pediatrics programs the students will go to YaleNew Haven, Minnesota and Montefiore Hospital in New York. In family practice they will go to Duke, North Carolina, Montefiore Hospital, and Highland Hospital in Rochester. For surgery they will go to New York University, Colorado, Case Western Reserve and for pathology to New York Hospital, and the University of California at San Francisco. Faculty members who assisted in the program were: Drs. Dennis Nadler, pediatrics; Joseph Caruana, surgery; Ross Markello, internal medicine/anesthesia; Murray Morphy, ob/gyn and psychiatry; John Richert, family medicine.

Jones, Ph.D., M.D., Distinguished Professor Emeritus Presented Before The Friends of the Health Sciences Library, State University of New York at Buffalo 7 November 1979 For thirty-six times, the last two lectures in Gross Anatomy were devoted to The History of Anatomy. They began with anatomy in Egypt (2800-2600 B.C.) and ended with the story about two men, Burke and Hare, who were not strictly grave robbers. They smothered their victims in Edinburgh and delivered a total of 16 bodies to Dr. Robert Knox, the famous anatomist, during a nine month interval. Burke, after being apprehended and indicted, was sentenced to be hung, his body exhibited in chains, and publicly dissected. Today his skeleton is in the Anatomical Museum in Edinburgh. The aftermath of this sensational and entirely discredible episode led to the British Anatomy Act, introduced by Lord Warburton in 1832. This provided that all unclaimed bodies should, under proper conditions, go to medical schools. For some unknown reason, I never mentioned the "Doctor's Riot" in New York City in 1788, which was precipitated by local grave robberies and the suspicion that King's College had some of the bodies in the dissecting room. The Militia was called out and eight civilians were killed. The Legislature then passed an Act in 1789 to prevent the odious practice of digging up bodies from cemeteries. The penalty was corporal punishment. This Act also provided that those executed for murder, arson or burglary- if unclaimed or given by relatives - could be used for dissection. In spite of this, due to the inadequate source of cadavers, grave robbing thrived. And, to complicate matters for medical students, New York State laws stipulated that anyone acquiring a knowledge of anatomy by dissection shall be sent to the State Prison. Furthermore, the courts and juries decided that if any surgeon does not possess this information or if he commits an error, he would be mulcted with ruinous damages. Everytime I gave these lectures, my secret desire was to relate a nice story about the "resurrectionists" in Buffalo like the one about the Medical College of Ohio at Cincinnati in 1878. The body of U.S. Senator John Scott Harrison was found in the dissecting room. He was the son of William Henry Harrison, ninth President of the United States, and father of Benjamin Harrison who became President in 1888. The commotion that ensued can easily be imagined. About five years after my teaching responsibilities in Gross Anatomy terminated, I was examining the Buffalo Medical Journal for articles about medical apprenticeships prior to 1850 when an editorial by Austin Flint - The People of the State of New York vs. William B. Waterman, M.D. was uncovered. Our first case of grave robbing occurred nine months before the University of Buffalo received its charter. This caused considerable excitement among the citizens because not only did the 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �three men arrested rob the public burying ground, but they intended to sell the bodies to Willoughby Medical College in Ohio. Prior to his arrest, at least six bodies had been pickled in an alcohol brine and shipped as "fish" via boat across the Niagara River to Canada and then to Ohio. Dr. Waterman, his apprentice, Belos W. Hovey, and an accomplice, David Smith, were arrested. Tools of their trade were found in Dr. Waterman's office at the foot of Main Street, namely, an auger, a shovel and rope. Two barrels with four bodies were recovered. After the police plied David Smith with whiskey, he signed a confession and turned State's evidence. The participants might have gone undetected, if Smith had not tried to hire an unwilling partner and gossip-monger. The Magistrate set the bail at $800.00 but Dr. Waterman, unable to furnish the required security, spent two months in jail awaiting his trial. The Recorder's Court sentenced him to three years in Auburn State Prison. After having served about six months in the hospital department, Governor Wright pardoned him. Austin Flint spoke out on behalf of the medical profession in Buffalo. Had the grave robbing been done for other than pecuniary reasons, Dr. Waterman might have received more sympathy. Then, too, Dr. Waterman had only recently come to Buffalo and had not complied with the conditions required to be a recognized member of the regular profession. He also pointed out that every medical student and practitioner in the State of New York was guilty of the same species of felony. At that time dead bodies had to be stolen and all who studied anatomy by means of them became particeps criminis in the theft. Nine years later, New York State Legislatures legalized dissection. While working on our first teacher and profiles of our first faculty, there were some entries in the diary kept by Dr. John D. Hill that puzzled me. For example: 9 March 1848 ... Having received some subjects at the College today so I am in hopes to go to the dissection room again .. . 6 April 1848 ... Prof. Webster has a fresh subject and has lectured on the neck ... At that time, Dr. Corydon La Ford was Demonstrator of Anatomy and one of his duties was not only to provide subjects (cadavers) for the dissecting room but also for the Professors. However, it was understood that the anatomical material must be obtained in such a manner as not to compromise the interests of The University of Buffalo. Where these bodies came from remained a mystery to me until 1976 when Dr. Robert L. Brown, Associate Dean and Consultant to the Health Sciences Library, was organizing records and history of the dean's office in the storeroom next to the student lounge in Farber Hall. He noticed a carton filled with pure and unadulterated junk. Much to his surprise and joy, it turned out to be a vertable gold mine (bonanza). Records kept in the dean's office from 1847 to 1869 were there. These included correspondence of all sorts, vouchers, invoices, bills of lading, promissory notes for unpaid tuition, etc. d- SUMMER, 1981 13 �Figure 1 shows five bills of lading of which two coincide with entries recorded in Hill's diary. This is the first tangible evidence about the source of anatomical material and the cost of its transportation two years after The University of Buffalo was founded. As a matter of fact, some of the earliest catalogues carried this admonition: "Students of Medicine are not permitted to bring to the College, subjects for dissection; a violation of this regulation will be deemed sufficient ground for expulsion from the Institution." Four years after Dr. John C. Dalton resigned as Professor of Physiology and Morbid Anatomy at The University of Buffalo, he wrote the following letter to Dean Thomas Rochester: New York, Oct. 14 (1858) Dear Doctor: I have been waiting to write you until I could say positively what time the packages would be ready to send - but I can not do so yet as the person who is to obtain them is on his beat and depends himself upon notification which he receives from other parties. It is somewhat difficult I understand, to obtain them during this winter, in a fit condition to send off to a distance; many of those which would be available for immediate use not being trustworthy on a journey like that from here to Buffalo. This will explain the delay which occurs in forwarding these to you. The parties, however, have had these orders for several days, and as soon as an opportunity offers, you will be served at once. The operator here packs the specimen, after having injected it with Chloride of Zinc and delivers it to the Expressman. There his responsibility ends and he expects his $25.00, on exhibition to his employer for the bill of lading. I told Sands, who is in immediate correspondence with the parties, that one or two had better be sent as soon as possible, waiting for the other. I believe they find it much more secure to send always two in a package as they fill up the space more exactly and prevent each other rolling about. Please let me know, when you next write, whether you would like 2, 3 or 4. You had better send the money to the Demonstrator, Dr. H.B. Sands (whom I believe you know) at No. 64 East Twelfth Street or at the College. (Benjamin H.) Lemon shall be notified by letter or telegram, of the time when the packages are sent from here. Yours Truly, Dalton The exact date is on the back of the letter; "Dear Doctor" referred to Dean Thomas Rochester, Lemon was Demonstrator of Anatomy at Buffalo, and Dalton's signature is identical with ones on his letters of resignation to the University of Buffalo. This letter is important because it not only provides an insight about the money paid to grave robbers but the necessary preparations of the "packages" to be sent to Buffalo. Also that Demonstrators of Anatomy seemed to have formed a clique for the benefit of their secret trade. 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �r= . --(===-=-::-_:~ fi ~ ~ -= • · ~ ~ ~ ~~~ • ol JfJ 1o 5 ~ J> 1 I /1#1/dt#Lb/f·f d Q/tr l!.._ ,..:~} 1 It j, i !~ 1: . z ... ,e 3'1 g = ==::::;::::;===== -- ~1¥11 h (;Jw} ,~ ~~~ ~ · --ir--- · ~ .-~~ ~~i·~~ffl S;ff'&t~ ~P. his handwriting are in the Minute Book. ~ ~'!::'1":Wn {drL-~-~ -------/1~ fff::iJr;j~~ u 7 ((· (r .. .

There is no evidence that the University accepted his solicitation, although he could have been one of our agents in New York City. Before the bonanza was discovered, editorials and the Minute Book clearly indicated that the University of Michigan was in dire straits for want of anatomical material. In 1854 the New York Legislature was considering a "Bill for the Promotion of Medical Sciences." One of the provisions was a clause which would make it a penal offense to send subjects (cadavers) out of the state to other medical colleges. Dr. Sanford B. Hunt wrote in his editorial: ... Now whatever may be the abundance of the supply here, it will be very readily seen that any emente arising here, from the present law, would fall, not on the heads of those in distant places who profit by it, but would be directed upon the school of this city, and it would be made to suffer for the sins of others, who would laugh at its calamities ... Two entries in the Minute Book of the Medical Faculty indicated the seriousness of the situation: 29 Sept. 1856. Faculty meeting held at the Medical College. On motion of the Dean (Rochester) it was re- quested to write to the President of the Medical College at Ann Arbor remonstrating against the attempt to procure material provided by the laws made especially for the benefit of the New York schools. 25 Oct. 1856. Faculty meeting held at the Medical College. Dr. Rochester read the correspondence with the Medical Faculty of the University of Michigan and on motion of Dr. Hamilton it was resolved we do not consider the answers addressed to our Dean sufficiently explicit- and that we deem it due to the importance of the subject that the Faculty of the University of Michigan should distinctly declare their future intentions in relation to this matter. Our Archivist, Ms. Shonnie Finnegan, facilitated my contact with the Bentley Historical Library of the University of Michigan. 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �It became patently clear, from the material sent by Ms. Mary Jo Pugh, that both Dr. Hunt and Dean Rochester had legitimate complaints about the far flung activities of the "resurrectionists" employed by the University of Michigan. One of the early Demonstrators of Anatomy at Michigan, Dr. Edmund Andrews wrote: ... After some study of the subject I settled on a few simple moral principles. 1. Nobody will spend money over the loss of a pauper cadaver. Therefore obtain material only from Potter's fields and almshouse cemeteries. 2. The receiving point at Ann Arbor must be kept perfectly calm and friendly. Therefore I allowed no cadaver to be exhumed in Ann Arbor in any circumstance. I then obtained an agent in Buffalo, giving him $25 for every specimen sent by express. Dr ....... , the Buffalo Medical College demonstrator, was full of wrath at my invasion ... Dr. Andrews wrote this many years after he had been a Demonstrator. However, when Dean Rochester wrote to President Angell, Dr. C.P. Farmer was Michigan's Demonstrator. I examined the minutes of the University of Michigan Medical School and only learned about Farmer's salary; duties in preparation of specimens for the Museum; presentation of specimens of Pathological Anatomy; things of interest from The Dissecting Room, but nothing about "body-snatching". It all boils down to this - Dr. Corydon La Ford, who left Buffalo to eventually become Professor of Anatomy at Michigan must have carried the skills of his "body-snatching" trade with him. The bonanza has two letters that contain much of local interest. The sequence of events were: A young University of Buffalo graduate in the class of 1862 sought the position as Demonstrator of Anatomy; he became a grave robber; the Medical Faculty appointed him Demonstrator of Anatomy in November 1861; he served the University of Buffalo from 1863 to 1868, and finally became Dean and Professor of Surgery at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Buffalo. Many articles have been written about "How to Become a Dean," or "So You Want To Be a Dean." Perhaps this part could be entitled, "The Making Of a Dean." Portions of these two letters are as follows: Kingsville, Ohio May 9, 1862 Dear Doctor (Eastman): I wrote you some two weeks ago in reply to yours of the 13th and not hearing from you since, I deem it proper to write you again as whether or not I am to officiate as Demonstrator. If not I think I will accept the situation offered me in the Army as the Government is now calling for more Surgeons and is very desirous to have me comply. My friend Dr. John C. Hubbard of Astabula has accepted and a number of my medical friends intend to attend the examinations on Wednesday next the 4th inst., all desirous for situations.

Kingsville, Ohio Friend Eastman: In compliance with your request to write soon I will make an effort today, although I am far from feeling in a mood of letter writing, as I have been out all night and it was my second night in succession. I am feeling today undoubtedly as the fraternity generally do under like circumstances, not a little morose and more than usual out of thick headedness, together with an aggravation of my old malady, intercostal rheumatism (which has existed since I had diphtheria). I feel unfitted for social, political, medical, or in fact any other calls excepting a call from Morpheus. I have been dissecting about 10 days and have enjoyed it hugely, perhaps the better for its being a stolen subject and having to work under adverse circumstances, it is said that stolen property is the best way. My friend and pupil (Spalding) thinks he could ask for nothing better, unless it would be lighter for according to our motus operandi of weighing (which was carrying him across the lots on our shoulders for at least a half a mile, using a rail for a beam). He estimates the weight at 200 lbs .. and I thought it went quick at that. I find there is nothing like fine and minute dissection and it requires time, patience, perseverance, and hard study to become an efficient Demonstrator and I assure you I shall make every effort to make my appointment satisfactory to the students and all concerned. I shall endeavor to be there at the time appointed September 1. I will send you a list of names which I think would be advisable to send Circulars to, some of them you undoubtedly have already. Dr. Wetmore sent Dean Eastman 24 names of doctors who might be interested in taking a course in Practical Anatomy. Two of these men were in Illinois and the others in Ohio. He concluded his letter by saying: I might give you many more names but perhaps enough at the present. Yours truly with much esteem, S.W. Wetmore 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The next time Dr. Wetmore made his presence felt in academic circles was in 1880. According to the Buffalo City Directory, he was Dean and Professor of Surgery at the College of Physicians and Surgeons located at 19 W. Mohawk St. A year later, he not only had these academic responsibilities, but he was Demonstrator of Anatomy and Special Lecturer on Surgical Anatomy. Things must have been really tough for this "fly-bynight" medical college, when the Dean has to resort to his former trade of grave robbing. This was 19 years after his first grave robbery. He and his underlings must be credited for not having been caught. After November 1881, Buffalonians were fascinated to read articles for the next four months in the Express about the graveyard mystery. One E.G. Burnham was examined for two life insurance policies amounting to $6000. Shortly thereafter he died. A physician, without examining the body, certified the cause of death as enteritis. On 15 November 1881, "resurrectionists" who tried to raise him in Forest Lawn Cemetery were scared away. The casket contained not the body of Burnham, age 28, but that of a man approximately 60 years old. Was it murder? Who and where was Burnham? Was it death by arsenic poisoning? The attempt to defraud insurance companies by an agent, a physician and confederate resulted in a lengthy inquest. It was established that the body had been purchased from John Ferguson, janitor at the University of Buffalo. Had the "resurrectionists" completed their ghoulish enterprise, they might have discovered that they had previously sold the body to the Medical Department. Just think how much more interesting my lectures on the history of anatomy would have been had these events been known to me years ago. And, before closing this article, let me assure you that grave robbing in the 19th century was not always done for the benefit of the medical profession. In 1876, the grave of Alexander T. Stuart was robbed. At the time of his death, he was reputed to be one of the three wealthiest men in the United States - the other two being John Jacob Aster and Cornelius Vanderbilt. His body was taken from New York City to Plattsburgh and then to Canada. The grave robber, Henry 0. Romaine, demanded $200,000. General P.H. Jones, counsel for the family, offered to pay $25,000. This was respectfully but firmly declined by the grave robber and the case was not pursued further by me.D (This is the corrected paragraph that appeared on p-15, val. 14, no. 4; we are sorry that "not" was ommitted.} "Fewer didactic lectures are needed. We should not train medical students to be success oriented, power seeking and compulsive. We should teach physicians to tolerate uncertainty, but not to solve every problem. It makes no sense to train physicians in problem solving and then blame them for continuing that process when they begin to see patients." SUMMER, 1981 19 March of '82 is the target date for the completion of Phase I of the Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) complex on the Amherst Campus, a $12.9 million arena-type field house that will be the headquarters for the Intercollegiate Athletics Depart- · ment. And as early as this fall, but more probably in the spring of '82, the University's varsity teams could be competing on an expansive playing fields complex that adjoins the field house.D �11 Faculty Retire Eleven Medical School faculty members, who reached the age of 70 on or before the last day of August have retired.

KETTER is resigning January 1, 1982, after nearly 11 years. After a one-year sabbatical he will return to the faculty as leading professor of engineering and applied sciences. Before taking over as President in July of 1970 Dr. Ketter was vice-president for facilities and planning. He is the 13th man to head U/ B in its 135-year history. Dr. Ketter mentioned several of his significant academic accomplishments - the new Amherst campus; conversion of Main Street campus for health sciences center; raising over $5 million from private sectors in the community last year; improved community image; the high ratings (2nd or 3rd in the nation) of the biochemistry and physiology departments; luring to U/B of the so-called Johns Hopkins 5 in Comparative Literature, a move which enabled that department to rise rapidly in national stature; and U/B has achieved a distinction shared only with Columbia University in terms of the acceptance of its graduate programs by the State Education Department where every graduate department has passed the close scrutiny of the SED. "The institution is in considerably better shape now than when I came into it, and plans are progressing for conversion of the Main Street Campus into an outstanding health center," Dr. Ketter said. He joined the faculty in 1958 as professor and chairman of the newly created civil engineering department and later he served as Dean of the Graduate School. Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton Jr. said, " In his nearly 11 years as president, Bob Ketter has governed the State University's largest campus with skill and distinction. These were difficult years at every university, yet, Dr. Ketter not only maintained but strengthened Buffalo's deserved reputation for educational excellence. Additionally, he planned and implemented one of the largest building programs undertaken by any institution. "I am pleased that Dr. Ketter will be remaining at Buffalo and in the SUNY system as a leading professor so that we may continue to have the benefit of his experience and counsel," he concluded. U/B Council Chairman Robert Millonzi said, "the entire Council will serve as the search committee. We hope to have a successor to President Ketter working here on January 1, 1982."0 SUMMER, 1981 23 Dr. Ketter �The Battered Child Syndrome by Ehsan Afshani, M.D. Clinical Associate Professor Radiology & Pediatrics Several review articles in regard to the history of child abuse are available. In general, it is in agreement that the notion of children's rights is relatively modern. In ancient cultures, paternal power was absolute - a father could abandon his child, abraise him, and even put him to death' 3 • The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was established 100 years ago because church workers were unable to get local authorities to interfere in child abuse by adoptive parents. With social sophistication a decline in child abuse was noted but personality disorders of parents or custodians emerged as a major cause of child abuse. Although the history of child abuse is of recent origin and was first described by Ingram and Heyl in 1939 when they presented their cases of subdural hematoma which were generally of traumatic origin6 • Tardieu, in a book published in the year of his death (1818-1879), reported an article which he had written in 1860 on abuse and maltreatment of children 15 • Caffey in 1946 described a syndrome of subdural hematoma and multiple long bone fractures without systemic disease' . In none of the cases was there a history of injury detected, but Caffey stated that the bony lesions were probably traumatic in nature. He stated that in one of the cases, the affected infant was unwanted by both parents. Later, Silverman reported on the roentgen manifestation of unrecognized trauma which in effect is an extension of Caffey's idea. Confirmation of this point of view was quickly forthcoming, especially in a study by Wooley and Evans in which they indicated willful injury to the child 14 • Kempe named "the battered child" at the roundtable of the American Academy of Pediatrics and thereafter articles were published on the subject with increasing numbers. Various names have been given to this syndrome. The first description by Caffey in 1946 was that of chronic subdural hematoma with multiple long bone fractures in different stages of healing. Then the term "unrecognized trauma" was used by Silverman in 1953 and was followed by Kempe's description of the battered child syndrome in 1962. Caffey also in several of his reports, referred to the "shaken baby syndrome" because of the increased incidence of subdural hematoma associated with shaking the baby's head either as in rage or as in excitement. 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Lately, Caffey used the term "Parent-Infant Traumatic Stress Syndrome" (PITS) and this made a few people unhappy since not always are the parents involved in abusing the child 2 • However, the term accuses no one. It does indicate the causal, emotional, social and economic stresses which plague the mother or her substitute. Presently the term used most often is the "Battered Child Syndrome" ("Battered Babe" in England) although this term tends to provocate and inflame the hearer and spark a premature bias against accused parents before adequate medical and legal investigation can be made. Caffey stated that about 5-10 percent of infants are provocator-tyrannical children who cause motherinduced abuse. I would like to quote a few alarming statistics about this frightening syndrome which threatens our society. In 1971, one child died every four hours because of child abuse. There were three million abused children nationally in 1979 who either were beaten, burned, strangled, shot, starved or neglected. In New York State alone, in 1979 there were 50-thousand-plus cases of child abuse and/or neglect reported to the authorities; that means one every 10 minutes of the day and night, weekday and weekend, holiday, etc. This is an increase of 14 percent from 1978. Between 50,000 to 100,000 cases per year have been sexually assaulted and an average of 2,000 children die per year from abuse and neglect. Who are these children? The child is often REFERENCES 1.

Black is more common than white. Socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds are deciding factors. Divorce, stress, recent unemployment, alcoholism and psychotic behavior are contributing factors. It is interesting that when one studies the parents of an abused child, it is often found that they were abused as children. Recently, low birth weight children have been the victims of abuse because the bond between the mother and infant has not been strong following the birth of the child when the mother is discharged and the child remains in the hospital for a long period of time for further care•. It is now a law in all states for reporting child neglect and physicians in many states are liable for non-reporting. ROENTGENOGRAPHIC ASPECTS OF CHILD ABUSE Figure 2.

JAMA 158:539-543, 1955.0 The radiologist plays a major role in the detection, evaluation and management of the abused child. It is important that good communication between the referring physician and the radiologist be present to optimize the radiographic interpretation and most important, the appropriate radiographic examination to assess the spectrum of injury. I would like to quote a statement made by Dr. Caffey. As a practicing pediatrician in New York City, often a child was brought to him because of either irritability or unable to walk and he often requested roentgenograms of the long bones. The radiologist's interpretation was that of systemic disease either due to infection or malnutrition or scurvy. Dr. Caffey was never satisfied with the answers, so he took charge of finding out for himself and later discovered that these children are the victims of child abuse and the changes he observed at the metaphyses of the long bones were traumatic in origin inflicted by the caretaker. He described these findings of the combination of long bone fractures with subdural hematoma in 1946'. The radiologist today often is in the position to detect cases of child abuse because of the nature of trauma to the skeleton which consists of multiple fractures of the long bones in different stages of healing. Kempe stated that the syndrome should be suspected in any child with evidence of multiple unexplained fractures, presence of fracture and subdural hematoma and/or the presence of subdural hematoma and soft tissue swelling or bruising, and in a child with failure to thrive. To the informed physician, the bones tell the story that the child is too young or too frightened to tell. Often we, as the radiologists, are confronted with findings of metaphyseal infraction (Figure 1). You may ask why these changes developed? One thing for sure is the shearing, stretching and twisting types of injury that cause metaphyseal infraction resulting from either grabbing, gripping or shaking the babies. It is a combination of multiple skeletal trauma or different instances of trauma that makes the radiologist suspicious of child abuse, such as multiple bone fractures or a single bone fractured with multiple rib fractures in different stages of healing (Figures 2 & 3), or other instances such as skull fractures from a short fall associated with rib fractures. The radiologist also finds other 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �manifestations of suspected child abuse involving the gastrointestinal tract and genitourinary tract as well as the spine and spinal cord. An example of spinal fracture is shown in Figure 4. McCort, in a series of 10 patients with visceral injuries, found jejunal rupture was the commonest site followed by duodenal injury and liver laceration9 • Rare and seldom reported are cases of spinal injury. In spite of the definite roentgenographic changes in the spine, symptoms were minimal or absent (Figure 3). Minimal shaking of the child can cause cervical spine injury such a whiplash-type injury. Swischuk reported seven such cases, with spinal injury in six and spinal cord injury in one case". Pseudocyst of the pancreas is also uncommon in children and among 13 children with pancreatic trauma, nine had pseudocyst, three of which were less than three years of age, and they were proven or strongly suspected of being abused". Most often, pancreatic injury in a school-age child results from accidental injury such as bicycle handlebars, contact sports, or traffic accident. PREVENTION & PROTECTION When it appears that neglect, battering and abuse are present, the attending physician is legally resposible to report this to the law enforcement, with a written report preferable. This child should be kept in the hospital under observation rather than being sent home. Often, child abuse occurs during times of stress and with proper support most experts believe that most parents can be helped and become non-abusive. Only 10% of the abusers are incurable; in these cases the child may have to be separated from the caretaker in order to be protected. For prevention, increased public awareness of the nature of child abuse and encouragement for those parents to seek help is of the utmost importance. Establishing a comprehensive social worker system to educate young couples is most important during times of stress. A trauma team which has been advocated by Girdany since 1959 which is made up of a pediatrician, pediatric psychiatrist, pediatric radiologist, and social worker has been very valuable. Readers are encouraged to review the excellent article by Elmer, "Children in Jeopardy," which is the report of such a trauma team in 1959 3 .0 Figure 3.

But it wasn't until 1972, when a heart attack virtually ended his medical career, that he became interested in close-up work. Dr. Bernard Stell and his wife, Irene, regularly tour the country from their Sun City, Arizona base producing travelogues for club presentations. The former professor of psychiatry has a long, impressive list of awards, exhibitions, inventions and honors. Last October he traveled to Ridgecrest, California to present an all-clay seminar for the China Lake Photographic Society on close-up photography. He also teaches photo essays and travelogues at Rio Salado Community College. After his heart attack he became interested in close-up work. Dr. Stell had time on his hands while recuperating so he did research on close-ups. He had a friend who wanted him to do close-ups on violets, and by the time he figured how to do it he was fascinated by the experience. Now close-ups comprise about 80 percent of his work. His ability and reputation have carried him to a point where Life Magazine recently requested two of his slides for possible use for an article on stereo photography. Dr. Stell has been an active pioneer in contemporary stereography. According to Dr. Stell photomacrography (water droplet lens, regular and stereo) is more of a laboratory technique than any other aspect of the science and art of photography. Seldom are lab photographers known by the general public, but portrait and landscape photographers are. There is almost no end to the many awards he has won. Recently he was notified that his "Rose of Thorn No. 2" color slide won him the Arizona Resident Plaque at the Arizona State Fair International Photography Exhibition. This is the second time he has received the award since his arrival in Sun City in 1975. His stereo slide, "Turning up the Lamp," won first place at the Photographic Society of America's International Traveling Salon. 30 From the stereo division of the PSA, Dr. Stell received a large plaque for second place for a stereo sequence, "Grandpa's Pleasure." The photo essay, done in 3-D, portrays a grandfather who builds a doll house for his granddaughter. The granddaughter's emotional reaction when she finds the house under the Christmas tree was filmed in Phoenix by Dr. Stell. Also last fall the Stells won an honorable mention from the PSA for their photo essays. Dr. Stell also won honorable mention for his slide of an ultra close-up subject, "Clowns on Mesquite," at the Arizona State Fair International Photography Exhibition. He has written numerous articles for photo magazines in Canada and the United States. Dr. Stell notes that George Eastman and others in his company have done more for photography than any other person. He also holds in high esteem Seton Rochwite of Loveland, Colorado, who with David White, a manufacturing expert, did so much to bring stereo photography to the "man in the street" after World War II. In conclusion Dr. Stell said, "stereo photography is gaining momentum in Europe, and it is bound to spread to the states."O Dr. Erwin Neter, professor of microbiology, was chairman of the "Ethics" Session at the annual meeting of the Council of Biology Editors recently in Boston. The four topics discussed were: How Ethical is Science?; Analysis of the Yale-Columbia Affair; Ethics in Publication; and Ethics in Research.O Dr. Paul J.

He is also physician-in-chief at St. Louis Hospital and chairman of Graduate Medical Education at St. John's Mercy Medical Center. In addition, he was a staff member at the National Institute of Health. Currently, he is a member of the Residency Review Committee in Internal Medicine - the body which establishes and enforces the educational standards for the training of specialists in that field. In addition to Dr. Frawley's activities at St. Louis University and the American College of Physicians, he has served as president of both the St. Louis Diabetes Association and the St. Louis Society of Internal Medicine. He is also active in several other professional and civic organizations. In 1946-47 he was a medical officer with the U.S. Army in Germany. The American College of Physicians is responsible for the setting of standards for the education and training of internists as well as the establishment of post-graduate programs and specialty examinations. The College also determines criteria for recertification. By virtue of these various responsibilities, the College is one of the most influential bodies within the American medical establishment.D 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Stoff Dr. Jeffrey S. Stoff, M'68, a specialist in kidney diseases at Beth Israel Hospital, has received a five-year Established Investigator Award from the American Heart Association to pursue his research on "Prostaglandins and Kidney Function in Health and Disease." The award is granted to assist talented young physicians and scientists in developing research careers in academic medicine. Dr. Stoff's major area of research is prostaglandins, a unique class of substances similar to hormones and produced by all body cells. He has been interested in the way prostaglandins regulate kidney function in particular, but he has been involved in research with doctors from other departments studying the role of prostaglandins in congestive heart failure, aging, prostate disease, sunburn, and most recently, platelet function. "We are just beginning to understand the chemistry and physiology of prostaglandins," says Dr. Stoff, who is also an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. "Although prostaglandins were discovered in the early 1960's, we still know very little about their mechanism of action." Dr. Stoff has developed original methods to measure the release of prostaglandins which allow scientists in many areas of medicine to study the unique class of substances. "Prostaglandins are exceedingly active and can modify cell physiology in a wide variety of ways," Dr. Stoff says. Some diseases, such as arthritis, appear to be associated with too much prostaglandin production, while other diseases, such as hypertension, may be influenced by insufficient production of certain prostaglandins. Understanding the precise function of these substances, however, is difficult since over 15 different varieties have been identified, while the same prostaglandin may have different effects on different parts of the body. Dr. Stoff is interested in a general approach to his research, looking at different organ systems to see how they are alike. "Since all cells produce prostaglandins, there may be a common regulatory mechanism," he says. Dr. Stoff came to Beth Israel in 1973 as a research fellow in nephrology after a medical residency at Boston City Hospital and three years as a research associate at the National Institutes of Health. From 1974 to 1979, he was the Frances Weld Peabody Fellow in Clinical Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Stoff received numerous academic honors as a student. In 1974, he was named a Milton Fellow at Harvard and a Diplomate of the American College of Physicians, and in 1980, he became a Diplomate in nephrology. Dr. Stoff is the author of 30 scientific publications.D SUMMER, 1981 33 Dr. Stoff �Dr. Thorn Dr. Thorn Honored Dr. George W. Thorn, M'29, was among three to receive thesecond annual Hubert H. Humphrey Cancer Research Center Awards at the Boston University Medical Center in December, 1980. The other recipients were Mary Lasker, a medical philanthropist and leader in the cancer research effort in the United States; and Senator Birch Bayh (D-Ind.) who accepted the award given posthumously to his late wife, Marvella, who died of cancer in 1979. Medical Center Director Richard H. Egdahl, M.D., who presented the award to Thorn, said that Thorn has "influenced the lives and careers of many in medicine. His career has demonstrated how basic science and clinical medicine can work together to benefit the patient," Egdahl said. In his acceptance speech, Thorn said that the Humphrey Center is carrying out the basic responsibilities of medicine and science: by conducting basic research; by giving it practical application; by educating the public about the causes of cancer; and by developing funds to keep the research efforts on course. Other speakers included Gov. Edward J. King, Boston Mayor Kevin White, Center Director Paul H. Black, M.D., who presented an update on programs at the Humphrey Center, and Dean Sandson. Medical educator, clinician and researcher, Dr. George Thorn served for three decades as physician-in-chief of the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital and as Hersey Professor of the Theory and Practice of Physics at Harvard Medical School. He currently is chairman of the Medical Advisory Board of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Whitaker Foundation. He has been a member of the Board of Visitors of Boston University School of Medicine since the Board's establishment in 1976. Dr. Thorn is renowned in endocrinology and metabolism as a pioneering clinician-investigator whose work has contributed to a spectrum of fields beyond endocrinology. He played a major role in elucidating the critical importance of the adrenal gland in overall body function. His genius at synthesizing basic research in clinical settings led to an appreciation of the vital and complex roles of the adrenal hormones in body metabolism. His conceptualization of the metabolic steroid-hormone environment in which all critical functions take place, including normal and abnormal cell growth, has had a direct and important bearing on many aspects of current cancer research, including immunology, chemotherapy and cell differentiation. The Humphrey Center recognizes Dr. Thorn as a medical researcher whose combination of clinical and basic science contributions presents a model for cancer scientists.O 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Weldon Appointed to NIH Advisory Council Dr. Virginia V. Weldon, M'62, professor of pediatrics at Washington University School of Medicine, has been selected to serve on the National Advisory Research Resources Council of the National Institutes of Health. The 18-member council is composed of biomedical scientists, health science administrators, scientific authorities outstanding in the fields of research related to the programs of the Division of Research Resources, and other qualified professionals. A major function of the council is to review applications for NIH grants from the Division to fund general clinical research centers, primate research centers, laboratory animal resources, biotechnology resources, general biomedical institutional support for comprehensive research programs, and minority biomedical research support programs. The Division conceives, develops, and ensures the availability of resources that are essential to the conduct of human health research. A native of Toronto, Canada, and now a U.S. citizen, Dr. Weldon graduated cum laude from Smith College, and received her M.D. degree at the University of Buffalo School of Medicine. During the course of her medical training, Dr. Weldon has been a Fellow in pediatrics and endocrinology at the Johns Hppkins University School of Medicine, and a research assistant atPeter Bent Brigham Hospital. Her past university appointments include instructor of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins; instructor, assistant, and associate professor in pediatrics at Washington University School of Medicine; co-director of the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, Washington University School of Medicine; and assistant director of NIH's General Clinical Research Center at Washington University. She is currently assistant to the Vice Chancellor for Medical Affairs at Washington University, and also serves in highly specialized areas of pediatrics at St. Louis Children's Hospital; Barnes and Allied Hospitals; St. Louis County Hospital; and the Missouri Crippled Children's Service. Well known as an outstanding specialist in pediatrics, Dr. Weldon is the author or co-author of over 45 clinical research papers in the field. Her honors include a student award from the American Chemical Society, the Society of the Sigma Xi, Alpha Omega Alpha, the Gibson Anatomical Society, and the University of Buffalo's Lamb Award, Merck Award, and Mosby Award. In 1978, the St. Louis Globe bestowed their annual Democrat Woman of Achievement Award upon Dr. Weldon. In addition to active participation on university, city and state committees, Dr. Weldon has served on NIH's General Clinical Research Centers Advisory Committee since 1977 and chaired it during 1979-1980. Dr. Weldon and her husband, Dr. Clarence S. Weldon, professor of surgery at Washington University School of Medicine, reside in St. Louis with their two daughters.D SUMMER, 1981 35 Dr. Weldon �High Street Memorial Plaques 1893 gas Jan tern In 1954, having been vacant since the school moved to the new facilities in Capen Hall on the main campus in the summer of 1953, the building on High Street which had housed the School of Medicine from 1893 was razed. The proposals that the Erie County Medical Society, a new medical museum, physician offices or other appropriate occupants be developed to save the building had been unsuccessful. The end of a major era of the school's history occurred, however, with the preservation of very few of the physical elements of a building occupied by the school for more than half of the university's existence. Those who knew the building will remember the unusual design and refined architectural details which characterized it. Built in the Italian palazzo style the building incorporated many elements of highly developed crafts, which while widely in use when it was constructed in 1892, were already unavailable or unaffordable in 1954. Heavy wrought iron railings and decorative grills, handsome carved oak woodwork, elaborate interior windows of complex joinery and finely modeled, highly ornamented terra cotta pilasters, cornices, architraves, ballusters and newels were found in profusion throughout the building. Memorial inscriptions of names of famous clinicians and research scientists in Medicine from classical to the then (1893) modern era were engraved in interior and exterior cornices and lintels. The impressive crossshaped Main Entrance Hall with its soaring vaulted tiled ceilings had by World War II become encrusted with bronze and marble plaques memorializing respected faculty, colleagues lost in two wars, and the first student of the first class - William Ring, 1847. Preserved in black marble was the motto of the Class of 1900 (in Greek) - "Justly and Gently." Before the wrecking ball had finished, most of the elements which gave that great building its character and charm were destroyed. We salvaged the memorial plaques, two massive wrought iron lanterns from the lobby, some brass room plates and hardware, a few pieces of furniture and newel post from the main stairs. Included in the destruction were two massive terra cotta busts of founding faculty - Austin Flint and Frank Hamilton - located on either side of the main entrance below the heavy projecting roof cornice. Long the roosts for the many pigeons of the neighborhood, the busts had been modeled by Mrs. John C. Graves as a gift to the University. At its first meeting at the "New College Building" on January 25, 1893 the faculty through Dr. Charles Cary requested that Dean Matthew Mann send a letter to Mrs. Graves expressing the appreciation and thanks of the Faculty of Medicine, "such a letter to be sent with a bunch of roses." In 1954 no one thought these busts sufficiently important to save. 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �EDWARD H.

Fortunately they survived a disasterous cleaning of the storeroom prior to its conversion to other uses during the shortageof-space problems of 1962, a purging which resulted in the loss of the formal portraits of the first ten deans of the School of Medicine and the few pieces of woodwork and furniture salvaged from High Street. The plaques were removed to another storage area for another fifteen years of inattention. Finally in the fall of 1977 in consideration of their continuing vulnerability to vandalism, theft, or even more disturbing, loss through lack of concern for the past that they represent, the decision, long since overdue, to remount them in the lobby of the school was made . Following cleaning they have been installed in the Farber Hall lobby adding to the dedicatory and memorial plaques associated with the building's construction. A new plaque in memory of Mrs. Anne H. Deeley, registrar and assistant to the dean from 1945 to 1962, a sincere and dedicated friend of students and faculty has been added to the plaques from the old school. It is hoped that with the reinstallation of these memorials, this method of honoring those individuals whose unusual contributions to the school have been widely recognized and highly regarded will be renewed, and that students, faculty, alumni and others will resume a tradition which has lapsed for twenty-four years.

Jacobs, M'62, has received a $250,000 grant from Rehabilitative Engineering Research and Development of Veterans Administration for a study of "Sonic and Radioisotopic Assessment of Fracture Healing in Dogs and Humans." The professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Kansas has two co-investigators, Drs. Harvey Doemland (electrical engineering) and Charles Reese (mechanical engineering). According to Dr. Rae two new methods for assessment of fracture healing are resonant frequency analysis of a sound wave across a fracture and the dynamic uptake of bone mineral at the frature site. Disturbed fracture healing should delay the return of the resonant frequency pattern of the fractured limb toward that of the normal limb and should be detected by minimal dynamic uptake of radioactively labeled bone mineral at the fracture site relative to the time postfracture. The resonant frequency technique will be facilitated by the development of a new instrument, which must be further evaluated. The dynamic bone scan requires further refinement. This study will evaluate the two techniques, first in dogs with fractures treated by closed methods, internal fixation as well as delayed and nonunions, before and after treatment. The animal specimens will be evaluated histologically by sequential fluorochrome labeling and three dimensional imaging of serial sections and specimen radiographs of the fracture site. In addition, the state of healing will be measured by torsional testing. The two techniques will also be used in patients with internally fixed femur fractured, severe tibia fractures likely to develop disturbances in fracture healing and in delayed and nonunions, before and after treatment. The animal study will allow appropriate interpretation of the patient studies. Finally, which method is best for early detection of disturbed healing in patients will be ascertained. In May, 1980 Dr. Jacobs participated in a Conference on Engineering Aspect of the Spine in London. She has also authored or co-authored several articles for Clinical Orthopaedics; The British Journal of Accident Surgery; International Orthopaedics; Spine, Vol. 5, Number 3 and 5. She has also presented papers at meetings of the American Spinal Injury Association; the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons; the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine; Orthopedic Research Society; and the Surgical Forum of the American College of Surgeons.D 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Drs.

The faculty, students and administrators involved took their tasks and responsibilities quite seriously as evidenced by a high level of attendance and participation at the multiple Steering Committee and Task Force meetings. For the first time in SU YAB's School of Medicine history the component parts of the enterprise were presented in detail, and participants had an opportunity to identify our strengths and weaknesses and to make recommendations for future action and progress. The job of the Task Force was completed by approving a large number of recommended items for accomplishment over the course of the next three to five years. I am pleased to report that (1) a concensus apparently developed concerning the thrust and mission of the medical school, (2) the self-study process helped further a sense of institutional identify; and (3) faculty and students generally felt good about the medical educational establishment in Buffalo. The prevading concensus of immediate needs centered (1) on the requirement for SUNYAB and the State of New York to move forward expeditiously with the renovations of the Main Street campus; (2) around a need for many of the clinical departments to coordinate and consolidate their core educational activities; and (3) a desire of the clinical faculty for a single centralized educational clinical center. In conclusion, the self-study has provided an important mechanism for medical student and faculty participation in institutional participation and development, and it has helped prepare us in a meaningful and significant manner for the upcoming LCME visit. I thank those who participated so fully and worked so long and hard in bringing this function to a satisfactory and meaningful completion.D �Volume 14, Number 3 Fall1980 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN (USPS 551-861J) Published by the School of Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo EDITORIAL BOARD Editor ROBERT 8.

Naughton, Panni!!, Mrs. Harriet Williams Fagan, Dr. James Phillips, John and Margaret Paroski. 134th Annual Commencement U/B President Robert L. Ketter conferred more than 5,000 degrees during the Main University Commencement ceremony at the Convention Center. Included were 19 associate, 3,253 bachelor's, 1,393 master's and 459 doctorate degrees. Dr. Ketter also presented the 1980 Chancellor Charles P. Norton Medal U/B's highest honor - to Daniel A. Roblin, Jr., chairman and president of Roblin Industries, Inc. of Buffalo. The U/B Alumni Association sponsored a reception for the graduates and guests following the ceremony.D Dean John Naughton welcomed the graduates and their families to the 134th commencement. He praised the 138 graduates (98 men and 40 women). "I know you will represent the University well in the future. This is a very festive occasion. You are more relaxed than you were at orientation four years ago." Dr. aughton also introduced several dignitaries who participated in the commencement. Class representative Ellen M. Tedaldi said, "We can't offer complete freedom from disease and death, but we can offer relief from pain. We can't solve all the social ills and inequities, but we can promote safety and justice for our patients. We are the people's caretakers - the caretakers of their hope and their future." Class representative Eric E. Berger traced briefly the classes' four years in medical school. "During our first year we were concerned with survival. We were overwhelmed with facts, facts and more facts. We were more seasoned during our second year and looking forward to our third year. But part I of the National Boards was like running into a brick wall. We arrived slick and ready for action at the beginning of our third year, but found we couldn't speak the language. We had to learn the modern dialect of hospital language. The end was in sight at the beginning of the fourth year. We had time to read and excellent clinical experiences. We learned a lot and enjoyed beer and chicken wings. Hippocrates we are here, we have made it." This yearbook was dedicated to Dr. Gloria L. Roblin, clinical professor of psychology, by Leonard J. Weireter, editor of the Iris. Iris Dedication Dr. Lawrence Cardin We believe that you believe, Dr. Roblin ... -that you believe in education. You taught us the principles in psychology which we needed to understand our patients and ourselves. You introduced us to the special art of psychiatric interviewing. You confronted us with issues of sexuality. You disquieted us. You cajoled us. You educated us. 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �We believe that you believe in your profession. It is not known to many the difficulties you encountered with introducing psychology courses into the curriculum. Your conviction that human sexuality was a vital subject for physicians resulted in the required second year course. You argued also for early introduction of clinical medicine by creating our psychiatric interviewing preceptorships. In your many years of professional experience, you knew that psychiatry was relevant to all the specialties and that our clinical experiences would be deficient without it. Your enthusiasm for your field was evident- an enthusiasm unfortunately absent in many other professionals. Dr. Roblin, we believe that you believe in the student. Some of us have had the privilege of working with you on committees. We recognized in you one of our strongest advocates. You demonstrated genuine concern for our educational and personal welfare. Indeed you availed yourself for counseling professionally and informally. The number of references to you in the Med School Follies is testimony to your popularity among students. Dr. Roblin, we may be right, and we may be wrong. But in our opinion, you are outstanding as an educator, as a professional and as a friend. Thank you, Class of 1980 In her response Dr. Roblin said, "I love it- thank you. This is the most meaningful moment of my life. You have given me so much. I have shared your growth and grown with you. "As you move to your new profession you will be dealing with the body and the mind. Remember to help people, be dependable, exercise self control and foresight, and stand firm in what you believe. Have ideals and live up to them. Have human goals and move forward. "I believe that you believe and that makes me feel good," Dr. Roblin concluded.O 23 Students Honored Twenty-three medical students won special honors and awards at the 134th annual commencement. Dr. James F. Phillips, M'47, clinical professor of medicine and chairman of the commencement awards committee, presented the awards. Dr. F. Carter Pannill Jr., vice president of the health sciences faculty, conferred M.D. degrees to 138 graduates and the Ph.D. to 17 others. Dr. John Naughton, dean of the School of Medicine, administered the Oath of Hippocrates to the new physicians and Dr. Harry L. Metcaff, director of admissions, led them in the Charge of Maimonides. d- FALL, 1980 3 �Stephen Marano and parents The awards and honors: Thesis Honors - James F.

Strauss (pharmacology & therapeutics), Judith A. Hirsch (physiology).O A late night movie of recent vintage on Buffalo TV starring Robert Stack and Joan Crawford, (before "Mommy Dearest"!) was called "The Caretakers". The story concerned a young psychiatrist working in a state mental hospital in the pre-Thorazine days who attempted some radical ideas of therapy. Miss Crawford challenged Stack, the psychiatrist: "What are you doing for these people? What are you offering them?" He replied, "I am their caretaker - the caretaker of their hope, of their future." The situation in that film is somewhat analagous to the challenges presented to the medical profession today. The "questioners" are the government, society, the patients themselves. As for the questions - the two or three of you who attended Social and Preventive Medicine lectures (sorry!) are aware of them. For the majority of you who were not present, I will briefly outline the issues: the right of the individual to control his/her own life and death, the use of technology, the distribution of social and political power; the very quality of our lives and relationships to others. I am not here to debate the substance of those issues. Nor am I here to be pessimistic and condemn medicine. The occasion warrants a more optimistic presentation. What I want to consider is how we, the newest entrants into medicine, will answer those challenges in our own personal and professional lives. Brenda Harris, Dr. John Wright Ellen Tedaldi's Address �Ellen TedaJdi When our clinical exposure is slanted often toward the far end of the spectrum of disease- toward the critically ill or chronically disabled, we wonder, "What am I doing for these people?" When our use of technology becomes a dilemma of promoting quality of life or prolonging existence, we wonder, "What am I doing for these people?" When society demands that we be more than medical technicians - that we be social workers, be ministers, be administrators or when supporters of alternative health care approaches decry our over use of pharmaceutics, invasive techniques and accuse us of being the only game in town, we wonder, "What am I doing for these people?" Some in the profession have examined that question. For example, in the recent novel, House of God, which looks quite sarcastically at the life of an intern, one character, the Fat Man responds to the question with the law that the best medical care is to do as much of nothing as possible! That is perhaps the ultimate response to the challenge. For us, how will we respond? I don't know but I said earlier that this occasion of our graduation deserves an optimistic note. Though surely we can't offer complete freedom from disease and death, we can offer relief of pain. Though surely we cannot solve all the social ills and inequities on our own, we can prompt justice and safety for our patients. Though surely we cannot avoid being inadequate at times, we can offer empathy, sensitivity and dedication. Above all, when we ask, "What can I offer these people?", we c:m think of Robert Stack. We can remember that we are their caretakers - the caretakers of their hope and their future.D Eric Berger's Address Cynthia Parlato, Dean Naughton Eric Berger Friends and Relatives, Faculty Members and Fellow Graduates. I shall not dwell in these next few moments upon the wonderful memories of school which will blaze out of all control in our hearts, nor of the great encyclopedic store of sacred knowledge which has been conferred upon us these past four years. Why? I feel these are tired and wearysome topics and while a brief dissertation on how to shovel yourself out of eight feet of snow and still love Buffalo might be more entertaining, I believe it would be inappropriate. So, I have decided to summarize some of the feelings and attitudes that we have had about the world of medicine in the past four years. In our first year, we were almost bursting with pride at having attained the status of being medical students. This was understandable and justified, but like politicians, we were blind and basically concerned with survival. Our new world was a world of facts ... endless facts ... boundless facts ... infinite facts ... facts as far as we could see and more facts after that. We had to learn these facts because in later years they would supposedly serve us well. We 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �would come to appreciate the need to memorize the sea of peristaltic waves in the gut and the characteristics of the bacteria that cause body odor. Yes, at some future date these facts would prove indispensible to us. They would, indeed, be our weapon in the endless crusade against disease. They were our vital ammunition. And that, my Friends, is also a fact! Our second year was much like the first. We were more seasoned and more self-assured, and towards the end of the year, we began to feel that, indeed, we were getting there. We saw that we were surviving the onslaught of written tests, and having mastered the disciplines of pharmacology and human pathology, we were all "gung ho" and ready to start our ambitious charge into the third year; the year of initiation into clinical medicine. We got on our horses, kicked in our spurs, headed into the sunrise ... and promptly rode into a brick wall ... The National Boards, Part I. For our first two years we had struggled to digest an enormous portion of facts, but before we could leave the table, they insisted we eat our dessert. A dessert which lasted for two days, seven hours each day. An almost endless array of questions, mercilessly asking us to recall facts that we had long since absorbed, regurgitated and forgotten. Now we had to re-absorb and re-regurgitate. When it was over, we were exhausted. I mean we were beat! We had had it with these facts already, and we headed eagerly for our Junior Year. We arrived in the hospital slick and ready for clinical action, only to find that we could not speak the language. Yes, we actually could not speak the language! Do you want to know what's wrong with the patient? Just open the chart and read that the patient is a 30 Y/0 W/M with C/0 of SOB and PND X 2 Mo. For those of you who did not understand this esoteric lingo, I just said that the patient is a 30 year old white male, with complaints of shortness of breath and paroxysmal nocturanal dyspnea for the past two months, and for those of you who still don't know what I'm talking about, that is why you are the patients and we are the Doctors. After having learned Latin in Anatomy, we now had to learn the modern dialect of hospital jargon. So ... we learned the new language. But the best part of the year, the part which I am certain that we all enjoyed the most, that part which proved most unmistakably that we had at last arrived in the world of hospital life, was when they deprived us of our previous sleep every third or fourth night so we could prowl the corridors of medical power in a stupor. It was fun to be disoriented. But we were a hardy lot and we pressed on, and when the storm of the third year became almost too hectic, we were met with the warm, soft weather of the fourth and final year. Now the end was in sight. The year was arranged beautifully for us with ample reading time, eager instructors and interesting medical cases. Indeed, we learned a great deal ... but not as much as we learned about beer and extra hot chicken wings. Yes, it was a great year and it brought us to where we are today ... on the threshold of Doctorhood. We will steal from our sleep and give to the patient. We laugh about it, we cry about it, but none of us, I believe, would change places in a million years for another profession. We have made it ... Hippocrates, we are here!D FALL, 1980 7 Andrew Ross Dr. Jerry Chutkow �First President's Award goes to Dr. Musselman Dr. M. Luther Musselman, director of the University Health Service, has received the University's first President's Award. The honor was presented during the Commencement Luncheon, May 18. This new award will be given periodically, President Robert L. Ketter said, "to honor a member of the University community who exemplifies standards of devotion and service to the institution that far exceed the ordinary, and who, by personal example, challenges others to rise to excellence." Dr. Musselman, a 1937 graduate of the U/B School of Medicine, has been on the faculty here since 1947. He is also assistant dean and clinical associate professor of medicine. If he were to ask members of the University to describe Dr. Musselman in one word, Ketter suggested, "the following would be most often heard: dedicated, knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, tireless, sympathetic - or the one word that seems to say it all: caring. "If an accident happens on campus, or if illness occurs - to a student, a staff member, or a visitor, he is there: to treat, to provide advice and assistance, to offer assurances, to insure that adequate care is provided." But it doesn't stop there, Ketter said. Musselman is known "for the painstaking follow-up: the phone calls to the home, the checking-up on dietary needs, the request for special academic considerations. He is among us, as he is today, whenever large numbers of people gather for University functions, for at these times there is a real possibility of the need for medical care. He is always there - whenever and wherever his help is needed." The President's Award, Ketter said, "is our way of extending our recognition and gratitude for the example of caring involvement" which Musselman offers "and for the contributions far beyond the ordinary that he has made to the quality of life at the University."O Continuing Medical Education 1980-1981 Programs For additional information call: 716/831-2766.

At the written suggestion of many medical alumni, Spring Clinical Day 1980 once again returned to a single day format and as those of you who attended know was eminently successful with over 175 attendees at both the scientific sessions and the Stockton Kimball Memorial Luncheon. Although the topics for the 1981 Spring Clinical Day have not been formalized as yet, we expect to continue the single day format and are actively seeking a new location. Discussion is also underway to change the location and format of the companion reunion dinners. Some exciting and unusual ideas have been presented which are sure to make them a more memorable occasion. The Senior Reception, held annually in honor of our graduating class, is also to see some change. To accommodate those students leaving because of the early completion of the academic year, the reception will be held earlier in the spring of 1981. The Albright-Knox Art Gallery with its' Garden Restaurant should once again combine for a delightful Sunday afternoon. The general alumni mid-winter tour to the southern climate has always been well attended by our medical alumni. Conferences in continuing medical education have been an important addition to the trip and the 1981 Mexican trip will be of no exception. Plans are already in the mill to make this a most unusual and rewarding conference as we join forces with the Schools of Dentistry, Law and Arts and Letters. The 1980-81 medical alumni board will continue all of the past programs in education, awards and reunions and with a bit of fund raising too, but all with a flare towards something new and different in the ever changing environment of the Buffalo area. Your written input concerning all of the activities of your association is sincerely welcomed.D FALL, 1980 9 of Robert W. Schultz, M'65 President, Medical Alumni Association From the desk �Mental Retardation A STUDY OF Western New York physicians' knowledge of mental retardation and of their attitudes and practices regarding their retarded patients has been completed. Physicians surveyetl favor a broad interpretation of their role in providing care for mentally retarded patients but most often cited "lack of training" as a reason for not providing services for this group of patients. Findings support the need for mental retardation education in medical schools, residency training and continued medical education (CME) programs in Western New York. Researchers, Dr. Barry Willer (Department of Psychiatry), Michael Ross, third year medical student, and Sharon Kraus, doctoral candidate in psychology, initiated the study in March 1978. It is part of a larger HEW supported investigation probing the impact of deinstitutionalization of the mentally retarded on the community and evaluating the effectiveness of various community residential alternatives for mentally retarded individuals. Given the current, federally mandated trend to maintain retarded individuals in the community, the researchers were particularly interested in assessing area physicians' awareness of current admission standards for institutionalization of the mentally retarded. They also wanted to examine the awareness among physicians of supportive services available in Western ew York for the mentally retarded and their families. Of equal concern to the researchers was how physicians view their role towards the mentally retarded patient, whether they were fulfilling the responsibilities outlined by the American Medical Association (AMA) for this population of patients and whether they feel adequately trained in this area. Results of the study indicate that Western New York physicians, despite the profession's history of indiscriminately recommending institutionalization for mentally retarded individuals, are now more judiciously advising families concerning institutional placement of a family member. This finding contrasts with the conclusions of the 1975 midwestern survey 10 of physicians by Frank Menolascino, M.D . and N. Karen Kelly which found that physicians inappropriately recommend institutionalization and feel it is their responsibility to make such recommendations. Furthermore, two thirds of the Western ew York physicians surveyed felt it was the parents responsibility to initiate institutionalization proceedings. Other studies have found that most physicians feel such a decision falls within the purview of the medical profession. On the other hand, the data reveal that Western New York physicians are generally uninformed about admission criteria for institutionalization of mentally retarded individuals. Admission to a ew York State Developmental Center requires that the prospective client has an IQ of less than 50, below normal scores in the Vineland Social Maturity Scale and a health or behavioral problem which precludes management at home. Western ew York physicians generally appreciated the importance of low IQ as one of several admissions criteria. Behavioral problems were, however, more significant in influencing a physician's decision whether to recommend institutionalization than were medical problems, IQ, or social maturity of the retarded individual. Physicians are more apt to advise institutional placement in families where there are parental stress factors involved. Generally, parental stress is given as much emphasis by Western New York physicians as medical problems in decisions pertaining to institutionalization. Family stress, however, is not a valid criterion in assessing eligibility of a mentally retarded individual for institutional placement in New York State. Though families commonly consult physicians regarding care and services for a retarded family member, results of the survey suggest that Western New York physicians are not very aware of services available for mentally retarded patients. Physicians were requested to specify an agency for each of 16 services available to retarded individuals in Western ew York. On the average physicians named only 3.9 agencies. While most physicians knew of genetic counseling services and many were familiar with developmental centers, special schools and mental health services for the retarded, few THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �could cite agencies providing supportive services for families with a retarded child at home. Table 1 provides a list of services available in Western New York and the percentage of physicians who designated an agency administering the given service. As indicated in Table 1, physicians are better acquainted with medically related services, such as genetic counseling and speech and hearing assessment than with services critical to the community maintenance of the retarded such as respite and day care services.

Those physicians who claim to coordinate care and services for the retarded patient were found to be more knowledgeable about community agencies than those who did not indicate that they provided this service. Though most area physicians feel it is their role to provide certain given services for mentally retarded patients, not as many actually fulfill that role. A striking majority of Western New York physicians concur with the AMA's position describing the physician's responsibility toward the mentally retarded patient in eleven areas of care (See Table 2). As Table 2 illustrates, many fewer physicians actually provide the service they feel their role encompasses.

Barry Wi.ll er �Physicians, the study shows, most often exclude a service from their practice because they feel inadequately trained in that area. Two exceptions, coordination of community services for the retarded and assessment of family satisfaction with such services, were felt to be outside physicians' responsibility or too time consuming by most respondents in the survey. While medical specialty did not influence perception of the physician's role, pediatricians were found to perform more services for their retarded patients than do general or family practitioners or other specialists. Data from the Western ew York physicians survey offer one explanation for the failure of physicians to fulfill the roles outlined by the American Medical Association. Less than 10% of the physicians surveyed feel they were adequately trained in medical school to care for mentally retarded patients. More than half the physicians saw such deficiencies in their medical school training as: little contact with mentally retarded patients, inadequate training and counseling and lack of instruction about social afflictions of the retarded and ameliorative services available. Drs. Solomons and Menolascino stated the problem succinctly in a 1968 article in Clinical Pediatrics, " ... the physician with little empathy or experience in the field of mental retardation cannot avoid revealing both his lack of interest and certainty in his discussion of diagnostic findings and the resultant recommendations." The researchers' interest in physicians was motivated by Dr. Willer's finding that the first and most often contacted professional by families having difficulties with a retarded child is the physician. Research journals suggest, however, that physicians have not been helpful in this area. A variety of studies and reportorial accounts describe numerous inadequacies in family management on the part of physicians during the 1950's and 1960's. 12 Parents complained of physicians' abruptness, lack of information and incorrect prognosis when caring for a retarded child. As recently as 1975, Dr. Menolascino and Ms. Kelly found most parents of retarded children in their study were dissatisfied with the attitudes of their physicians. Many of the parents desired more information than their doctors had given them. The current research of Western New York physicians involved sending 648 questionnaires to physicians in Erie, Niagara, Orleans, and Genesee counties. A total of 133 of 648 questionnaires were returned by the general and family practitioners, pediatricians, neurologists, psychiatrists, ObGyn's, internists and orthopedists included in the survey. More than half the neurologists and psychiatrists and nearly forty percent of the pediatricians in the area returned the questionnaire. The return rate was, however, less than 20 o/o for the family practitioners and GP's and other specialists in the sample. The researchers believe the overall return rate of 20.5% probably reflects physician disinterest with mental retardation. Also, they assume that those who responded to the survey represent the most interested and knowledgeable of Western New York physicians in the area of mental retardation. Their study cites the need for training in mental retardation at all levels of medical education. Physicians who participated in this study received the opportunity to earn continuing medical education credit by reading educational materials about mental retardation sent at a later date. In addition, a list of community services available in western New York was prepared by the Division of Community Psychiatry (SUNY at Buffalo] and made available to interested physicians. A program of continuing medical education on legal/ethical issues dealing with the developmentally disabled was sponsored by the division of community psychiatry last summer.D THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Drs. Arbesman, Reisman Honored Two distinguished local physicians, who have worked together for over 20 years and who have contributed significantly in the field of allergy and clinical immunology, recently were elected president of learned scientific societies. Dr. Carl E. Arbesman, who is Clinical Professor of Medicine and Microbiology, Director of the Allergy Research Laboratory, and former Director of the Allergy Division (1944-1976) at the Buffalo General Hospital, was elected President of the International Association of Allergology and Clinical Immunology, for a 3-year term, at the 10th International Congress, which was held in Jerusalem, Israel, in November, 1979. Dr. Robert E. Reisman, who is Clinical Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics, and Co-Director of the Allergy Research Laboratory, was elected President of the American Academy of Allergy for a one-year term at the Annual Meeting held in Atlanta, Georgia, in February, 1980. Dr. Arbesman attained his M.D. degree at the University of Buffalo School of Medicine in 1935, and, soon after, completed his allergy training at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine . He opened his practice in Buffalo in 1939, specializing in Medicine and Allergy. In 1945, he organized the Allergy Research Laboratory at the Buffalo General Hospital, a unit which he still heads. He became Chief of the Allergy Division of the Buffalo General Hospital in 1944, a position that he held for 32 years. Dr. Arbesman is a member of many professional societies and he holds honorary fellowships in many foreign organizations, such as the British, Canadian, Brazilian, Venezuelian, and Peruvian Societies of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. He has served on numerous committees and boards and has contributed handsomely to the field. Dr. Reisman also has distinguished himself in the field of allergy. Following his graduation from the University of Buffalo School of Medicine in 1956, he completed a fellowship in Allergy and Clinical Immunology under Dr. Arbesman, and in 1961, he joined Dr. Arbesman in the practice of Medicine and Allergy, and subsequently established himself as an independent investigator. Within a short time, he became Associate and later, Co-Director of the Allergy Research Laboratory. His clinical skills, teaching ability, and his devotion to research led to hisserving on many committees, boards, and finally to his election as President of the American Academy of Allergy. The Allergy Research Laboratory has gained an international reputation in training more than 50 clinicians and researchers from all over the world in the field of immediate hypersensitivity. On this unique occasion, members of the academic community, as well as fellows and students from here and abroad, extend their heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for continued success to both of these distinguished physicians.D FALL, 1980 13 Dr. A rbe sman Dr. Re isman �Geriatric Education Dr. Evan Calkins , professor of me di cin e. jan e Math ews, assistant d ean , H e alth Related Professions. Dr. William A. Tisdale, director of geriatric unit, University of Vermont. MORE THA 100 area educators, agency directors, health professionals and other professionals from numerous disciplines participated in a one-day Conference on Geriatric Education. Dr. Evan Calkins, professor of medicine and head of the new geriatric unit at the Veterans Administration Medical Center, coordinated the meeting. The meeting was sponsored by the planning group for the Buffalo-Rochester Long Term Care Gerontology Center. Ms. Jane Mathews, clinical assistant professor of social and preventive medicine and associate dean of the School of Health Related Professions, summarized the conference: - the attitudes of all society (community and professionals) towards the elderly must be modified. A more positive image of geriatric medicine is needed. Faculty should take the lead in teaching positive attitudes toward the elderly. - professionals, family members and patients need to learn more about the aging process, especially the psychological limitations that come with aging, and how to cope with them. The geriatric patient's feeling of self-worth must be stimulated. There must be more communication between the psycho-social disciplines and medicine, with greater emphasis on the social sciences; - community settings must be developed to provide for multidisciplinary team education (interdisciplinary experiences) for students and faculty. The University should develop continuing education programs for community agencies and institutions. Patients/clients should be viewed from the total interdisciplinary point of view, not just a medical perspective. Professionals must receive a more practical education including home visits and instruction in management of a health care team; - there is a need for joint curriculum planning among health professionals. A geriatric curriculum (with some required courses) should be incorporated into medical, dental and nursing school programs . Educational programs for para-professional workers are needed. More medical research is needed, along with dissemination of information; - greater priority must be given to developing educational programs aimed at keeping people out of the hospital. We need to review how resources are allocated to the elderly; - good care for the aged requires more emphasis on certain disciplines - rehab medicine, neurology, and clinical pharmacology. There must be interaction between health professionals and attorneys to understand the social consequences of laws; - young people must be encouraged to enter this field; interdisciplinary experiences must be developed so students in various disciplines can learn, first hand, about the problems and needs of the elderly and gain an understanding of what 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Six " brainstorming group " dis cussed programs that re lated to th e care of th e elderl y.

Four out-of-town experts, who have had considerable experience in geriatric education, participated in the conference. They were, Dr. H. Bruce Bosmann, professor of pharmacology at the University of Rochester; Dr. Thelma Wells, assistant professor of nursing at the University of Rochester; Dr. William A. Tisdale, professor of medicine, and director of the geriatric unit at the University of Vermont; and Dr. Ruth Walker, dean of health professions, Herbert Lehman College. The conference was supported by a development grant from the Administration on Aging.D FALL, 1980 15 Dean Ruth Wa lker, Herbe rt H. Lehman Coll ege �Visiting Professor Dr. Paul R. Meyer, Jr., was visiting professor recently at the Erie County Medical Center. He is associate professor of orthopaedic surgery, at Northwestern University (Chicago). director of its McGaw Medical Center spinal cord injury unit and co-director of the midwest regional spinal cord injury care system. Invited by U/B chairmen Drs. Eugene R. Mindell (orthopaedics) and Glen Gresham (rehabilitation medicine). he described the system for spinal cord injury care developed for Illinois. Dr. Meyer noted the first few hours following spinal cord injury to be crucial. "The method of transport to a center of excellence must receive serious consideration." In Illinois four helicopters, backed by a fire department paramedical team, are available at a moment's notice to bring patients with spinal cord injuries to the Chicago Center. In addition, the Coast Guard is also capable of rescuing and transporting persons who suffer spinal cord injuries. Making a difference, he said, is a regional facility. "It is responsible for training life-support personnel and providing acute care by a team of specialists in orthopaedics, neurosurgery, urology and surgery. This is followed by rehabilitation," he said. He noted health care costs for the patient with spinal cord injury have been lowered significantly and the length of hospital stay shortened. According to Dr. Meyer, spinal cord injuries are receiving more attention nationally. During the next ten years he predicts regionalization of medical centers to provide care for spinal cord injuries. He lauded development of a spinal cord injury unit at the Erie County Medical Center.D Drs.

Zoll Alden Care Center �Prostaglandins Prostaglandins can do almost anything. Contained in all body cells, male and female, these naturally-occurring chemicals may affect everything from sugar metabolism to high blood pressure. One who agrees is Dr. James B. Lee. He heads hypertension studies at the hospital and is U/B professor of medicine. It was back in 1961 when he and colleagues at Harvard first isolated the prostaglanin PGA. He recalls there were few articles then. Today, he can point to some 3000 new ones a year on the compound originally isolated from prostatic fluid in the late fifties. Interest in prostaglandins was prompted by his earlier studies on the metabolism of kidneys, its relation to high blood pressure and salt/water excretion from the body. " Back then it was believed that hypertension was due primarily to factors driving it up rather than down," he said. It was only when Dr. Lee observed a marked decrease in blood pressure following injection into rats of an extract he prepared from rabbit kidneys that he began to speculate on kidney involvement in this disease. Over the next few years, after processing rabbit kidneys, he was able to isolate three fatty acids. Two had been previously identified. The third had not. He labeled it PGA. Dr. Lee Its subsequent injection into a patient with high blood pressure not only caused a temporary lowering but salt/ water excretion as well. Later work by Dr. Lee in St. Louis, this time using synthetic PGA produced by a pharmaceutical company, resulted in similar findings in 20 patients. With treatment of hypertension based on a low salt diet plus diuretics for water loss, he turned his attention to the role of PGA in this disease . Latest findings, he says, not only implicate inhibition of prostaglandins but point to several causes for hypertension, among them a prostaglandin deficiency. He notes that some investigators have not been able to find PGA in human blood. If his theory proves out, he believes future treatment will focus on giving synthetic prostaglandins to patients. But there is also the role of prostaglandin inhibition in certain stomach problems that intrigues Dr. Lee. "When aspirin is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, head or muscle aches and fever , acid secretion is increased in the stomach," he said. Back in 1961 proving his theory seemed a simple matter. Not so today, says Dr. Lee. "For the mechanism of prostaglandin is so complex. " Other members of the research team are predoctoral fellow Ahmad A. Attallah and Dr. Rolf Stahl, a Buswell postdoctoral fellow. The research is supported by the NYS Health Research Council.O 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. orman Ellerstein, M'71, has been appointed director of the Pediatric House Staff Program at Children's Hospital. Dr. Ellerstein will also continue as director of the Child Abuse and Neglect Program. He is assistant professor of pediatrics at the Medical School. Dr. Ellerstein came to Children's in 1971 as a house officer and became full-time staff in 1975. Prior to his new appointment, Dr. Ellerstein was head of the Division of Ambulatory Pediatrics. In his new position, Dr. Ellerstein is responsible for recruitment, evaluation and counseling of pediatric house staff. Dr. T. Dennis Sullivan, has been named acting head of the Division of Ambulatory Pediatrics. In this position, he will supervise Medical Emergency Services, the Hospital's general medical clinics and the Health Maintenance Clinic. Dr. Sullivan is also assistant professor of Pediatrics at SUNYAB School of Medicine. Prior to his appointment, Dr. Sullivan, who came to Children's in 1974, held the positions of assistant director of Ambulatory Pediatrics and chief resident of the Outpatient Department. Dr. Sullivan is a graduate of Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia.D HMO Approved Independent Health Association, Inc. (IHA). Western New York's second Health Maintenance Organization, has been approved by the federal government and has begun marketing its pre-paid health plan to area employers and employees. The first HMO in the area, Health Care Plan, Inc. , (HCP). became operational in the fall of 1978. Independent Health Association, is only half of the system. Medical services are not provided by the plan directly. Instead, care is rendered in the offices of physicians who belong to the complementary organization, Individual Practice Association of Western New York, Inc. Individual physicians sign participating agreements with IPAW Y, which in turn contracts with IHA on a yearly basis. Reimbursement is essentially fe e-for-service, subject to a withhold. IHA also enters into service agreements with area hospitals in a manner similar to Blue Cross. IHA hopes to enroll between 5,000 and 8,000 members in 1980. Mary E. Lundberg is the president of Independent Health Association, Inc. Dr. Anthony J. Federico, is president of the Individual Practice Association of W.N.Y., and Dr. Robert M.

Jones, Ph.D ., M.D. Distinguish ed Professor Emeritus The purpose of this paper is not to review the entire apprentice system in medical education - but to provide sufficient background to make the original material more meaningful. Apprenticeships were the only available means of learning how to practice medicine in the Colonial days - unless a candidate could afford a trip to European medical centers. In some instances an apprentice might have paid the master as much as 100 (pounds) annually for as long as seven years until he was "qualified" to practice on his own. After the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania was established in 1765, candidates for the M.D. degree were required to attend school for two winters and take each professor's course of lectures. This came to be the universal practice in American medical schools and was justified mainly because it was the custom in Philadelphia. Hence, a three year apprenticeship under a respectable physician was retained as part of the requirement for graduation. Let me digress a moment to introduce an outstanding professor of medicine known as "The American Laennec." Eleven months before the University of Buffalo received its charter, Dr. Austin Flint, Sr., founded and owned the Buffalo Medical Journal and he was its sole editor from 1845 to 1853. This provided him with a free rein to disseminate his views about medical reform and the proposed National Medical Convention that was to convene in New York City, May 1846. At that time - and many years previous - students, who would not have been admitted to collegiate institutions, were admitted to medical schools. Flint recommended that students should be proficient in what was called a common English education. Added to this would be the philology of scientific nomenclatures, the elements of physics, chemistry, natural history and a fair knowledge of "mental philosophy embodying the fundamental principles of logic." This was a modest recommendation when one considers that in France at that time, students for medical school had to have two bachelor's degreesone in the arts and one in the sciences - equivalent to an education of 10 years duration. Flint went on to say that, "If a medical student be miserably deficient in mental training and in the elementary branches of a good general education, the probability is he will make an unworthy member of the profession ... and will create dissatisfaction and disgust with the profession among well educated and intelligent minds." The weakest link in the chain of events (or obstacles) leading to the M.D. degree was the three year aprenticeship. Just like professors - preceptors were either good, bad or indifferent. Some medical students lived in the homes of their preceptors and took part in the domestic affairs of their instructor's householdby greasing the doctor's carriage, feeding the horse or running errands for his wife . Other apprentices had out-dated books placed before them - however poorly they may have been prepared to analyze them - with no instruction or recitations conducted by their respective preceptors. Flint remarked that the three years spent were "often worse than lost, for it frequently happens that he (the student) imbibes the routine errors of the practitioner, whose dogmatical maxims constitute the only lessons he receives, 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �which, if he would afterward progress, he is compelled to unlearn." In the antebellum days, the blame for poor or inadequate medical education was directed toward the medical school- but a far greater blame rested with the private teacher who admitted pupils to his office wholly unprepared to enter the study of medicine. The better apprenticeships afforded an opportunity to make pills, mix potions and powders, bleed, do bedside nursing and finally deliver babies beneath a "modesty blanket." If lucky, he had supervised observation and experience. By this time someone in the audience is thinking - what could possibly be said on this subject which was not already known? Well, the answer is clear. I have had the sole access to a primary source of information, which enabled me to work under pressure generated by myself. It has been my privilege to read and analyze a diary or journal written by one of our graduates from 31 January 1848 to 18 April 1849. In addition to entries concerning his association with the faculty, there are others relating his experiences as Health Physician for the City of Buffalo during the cholera epidemic of 1852. The diary was among rare books owned by the late Dr. Elliott Hague, ophthalmologist and bibliophile. The first entry in the diary is undated but was probably written at his home in Victor, N.Y. before he left (31 January 1848): In this little volume I wish to record such daily incidents as may be deemed worthy of recollection, as guides in the unknown future and it may be, its revival may serve a pleasant past-time in a lonely hour when body and spirit are wearied with the daily routine of life. Then, too, the filling up of the blank pages in this little book, shall be devoted a few moments of each day as it passes to the unrecallable past; and as its author increases in days, the recorded pages of this book multiply, may he increase as rapidly in knowledge, in wisdom and the powers of the "healing arts! " For forty years I have taught gross anatomy, among other subjects, and it is difficult to shed one 's tools of the trade, so to speak. Hence, when it was my privilege to read and analyze this diary - my immediate reaction was to dissect it. This could be done systematically by cataloging the entries under such headings as - weather, civic events, recreation, the medical school faculty, his preceptor's office, etc. Before proceeding, the first two entries establish Hill's relationship to the doctor and his wife and another medical apprentice. 31 january 1848 Left Victor for Buffalo for the purpose of pursuing the study of medicine under the instruction of Dr. {Horatio N.} Loomis. Took the cars at 12 and one half o'clock P.M. Put up for the night at the Mansion House, found it a very comfortable mansion for the weary traveler. During the evening and at night the winds blew very hard, the heaviest winds that had been witnessed during the past season. Could not sleep for the whistling of the winds and frequent alarms of fires from the burning of chimneys, changed my lodgings to another part of the house more retired from the noise. 1 February 1848 After breakfast started out to find Dr. Loomis' office in which I succeeded without much difficulty. The Doctor was absent but soon came in. I then introduced myself to him never having seen him before. He met me very cordially expressing his pleasure to have me FALL, 1980 d33 �a student in his office. Spent most of the forepart of the day at his office. Went with Mr. Adams, a medical student, to the Medical Cal lege ... Returned to the office the Doctor having invited me to drive with him. After having done so, I was quite well pleased with the Doctor and his family. I proposed to board with him to which he apparently willingly assented and I was very happy to have him, being almost an entire stranger in the city. Five days after Hill went to Dr. Loomis' office, he began a very active apprenticeship. Actually this was his second year as an apprentice and medical student even though he took the same lectures twice -first at Geneva and then at Buffalo. In order to make this narrative free flowing and less tiresome for the listener the dates of consecutive entries will be omitted. The diary continued: 5 February 1848 In the afternoon visited 4 patients with Dr. Loomis. First had his thigh amputated 4 weeks previous. The ligatures all came away, wound doing well. The other 3 men were in a canal boat. One had the measles - doing well, the remaining 2 Scarletina, one of them was very sick. Breathing short and hurried, apparent congestive state of the lungs and ulceration of the naries. Treatment: -mustard sinapism applied to the chest for counter irritation. Juniper and sweet spirits of nitre to increase the action of the kidneys to prevent dropsical effusion. The Doctor after being called away, I went and dressed the stump of an amputated leg. Was invited to spend the evening at the house but as there was no one at the office I considered it my duty to be there. Therefore declined accepting. In the evening spent the time at the house of Dr. Loomis, he giving a tea party to some of his friends and old acquaintances. It was quite a pleasant social visit for the alder ones, of which it was chiefly composed. The Doctor being called out of the city, went to dress the stump of an amputated thigh. In the afternoon visited patients with the Doctor. In the evening attended church with Dr. Loomis at the North Presbyterian Church -Rev. Mr. Rich, pastor. In the after part of the day put 2 dressings on the amputated stump of Murphy and read some on auscultation and percussion in Laennec on the chest. Finally: Visited some patients in company with the Doctor and alone. These eight entries span 16 days. Altogether the diary has 326 entries during his stay at the University of Buffalo and 112 of these had portions pertaining to the Doctor's office and Hill's apprenticeship. Time and space do not permit me to relate all of these, hence only selected ones will be detailed in the author's style. For example, we are going to skip from 20 February 1848 to 17 April 1848. This does not mean that Hill was less active in the doctor's office and was riding with him. It means that his experiences were so numerous and varied that they have resisted a meaningful grouping for narrative purposes. Hill has many entries about reading Watson's Principles and Practice of Physics (1847), Laennec on Auscultation and Percussion; Gerhard (1836) on The Chest; Velpeau (1847) on Operative Surgery, as well as books borrowed from the County Medical Society Library. He relaxed by fishing or angling with his "chums" in the Niagara River. He attended church services, musicals, and the Young Men's Christian Association meetings. There is only one entry 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �about running an errand for Mrs. Loomis. He treated fellow students, elders of the church, and performed post-mortem examinations. In some day-to-day aspects, things have not changed since 1848, as far as the doctor's office is concerned. For example, the following entry has a familiar ring - except more expensive things are stolen. This evening a fire broke out up the street and I went aut af the office leaving my cloak hanging on the wall. When I returned I met a man coming down the steps with a bundle under his arm and immediately suspected it to be my cloak. I stepped in the office door and found my suspicions true, but the thief and cloak were out of sight. In those days medical apprentices served as physicians under the guidance of their respective perceptors and were permitted to receive renumeration or gratuities for their services. For example: At midnight, was called to see a young woman who was about 6 months gone in pregnancy and was threatened with abortion. The attendant circumstances made all things appear very mysterious to me, however I prescribed for the patient and left for my lodgings carrying my fee (better than usual). After breakfast visited the patient the second time, found her quite comfortable, the flooding had nearly ceased, but there was considerable soreness and pressure over the abdomen. Prescribed anodynes and anodyne fomentations to the abdomen. There are at least three groups of entries which may be treated so as to provide a coherent picture about the whole gamut of a medical apprentice's life in the early 19th century. These are: first, the Almshouse and Typhus Fever; secondly, Practice of Obstetrics and thirdly, Quackery. In the spring of 1848 there was no hospital in Buffalo, with the exception of the wards at the County Almshouse. This brings us to the next two entries: 17 April1848 Received an offer to practice medicine in the Almshouse of Buffalo the first of May next and think I shall go if all things favor it. Four days later: Visited in company with Dr. Loomis the Almshouse. In the three several departments (wards) there are about 230 inmates and some wretched looking subjects. Mr. Green, the superintendent, appears like a man every way qualified for his station. Mr. Gray keeps the dispensary of the institution with the only renumeration of what he can have from the variety of diseases which he has treated. At that time the Almshouse consisted of a main building with two wards (16' x 28') for male and four wards (15' x 20') for female paupers and a bedroom 6' x 15'. In addition to these there was a small building for orphans, small one story wooden buildings for lunatics, and a temporary shanty for typhus cases. The duty of nurses devolved upon fellow paupers and vagrants. The mortality rate was about one in every six inmates. Before taking up typhus fever, let us skip to the entry for 13 May 1848 - because this provides an insight as to how busy Hill was for eight consecutive days at the Almshouse. These entries also indicate how dangerous it was to take the advice of wellmeaning but uninformed friendly neighbors. Nothing new today. A council was had on the propriety of amputating o Dutchman's thigh. The decision was that it was proper. The patient is a man about thirty years of age, a Hollander by birth, has a family FALL, 1980 35 �a wife and four children in Holland. His case is as follows. He had had swelled feet and an old lady told him if he would put them in weak lye as hot as he could endure, would cure them. In trying the experiment he took the cuticle off from the one foot and afterwards caught cold and the foot and leg became very much inflamed in a short time. Ersipelatous inflammation set in which extended above the knee and now the only alternative left is to amputate and this is a very doubtful issue. Almost distracted with the toothache, went to the city (1.7 mi.) and had one extracted by Dr. Harvey (dentist). The pain was beyond comprehension. Two patients died today, one mulatto consumption terminating in acute bronchitis. Had been in the hospital but 36 hours. The other an infant. Case of cholera infantum complicated with pneumonia. Dr. Winne amputated the thigh of the Hollander mentioned on the 13th. The Doctor made the circular operation; it was well done. The patient endured the operation much better then was expected. The action was soon established and he rested well as could be expected during the night. A patient died today of pulmo-tuberculosis. The patient who had the amputated thigh is doing nearly as well as could be expected, pulse rather too frequent ranging from 120 to 140. Appetite good. Am giving about one pint brandy a day in connection with strong beer. Rests all night. Obstetrical case, presentation natural labor, first child, left ear towards right acetabulum. After the second stage the pains did not return for a half hour. Gave Ergot grains XV. The pains soon came on and placenta delivered. Patient feeling well and very little flooding. Partruient woman does finely, no hemorrhage; lochial discharge established. Baby does as well as can be. If I always have as good success in the time to come as in the present case it is all that I can ask. The Hollander whose thigh was amputated is rather failing, pulse keeping up dangerously high, limbs have become edematous showing a very feeble state of the circulation. Hollander still continues to fail. Gave him one pint of brandy in 12 hours. Seems a little more comfortable tonight than through the day. Partruient woman continues to do well, gave her a cathartic today and it operated more on the child than on the mother. Patient died today of pulmo-tuberculosis but felt so unwell that I was unable to verify my diagnosis by an autopsy. Quite warm, showers passing around. Patients doing quite well today as a general thing. The Hollander is fast failing and the probability is that he will not live through the night. This is the fifth day since amputation - he is and has been sustained almost entirely by brandy for the last 2 or 3 days. The Hollander died this morning, the sixth day after the operation. Went to the city (1.7 mi.) and attended Prof. Coventry's lecture on physiology. Let us go to the entry for 24 May 1848 - because this marks the beginning of a valuable clinical experience for Hill which almost proved fatal for him. It also provided material for his graduation thesis. Case of ship fever came in today. The first new case which I have had to treat since coming here. In those days the symptomatic classification of fevers included four forms - Febricula, Continued fever, Periodical or Intermittent fever and eruption or examthematous fever. It was also unclear as to whether or not ship fever and typhus were identical. As late as 1849 Austin Flint believed that typhus was identical with typhoid fever, only to be modified by secondary causes. 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Typhus fever was brought to our shores by the crowded emigrant ships from Europe. Body lice were omnipresent, as was the disease they carried- typhus fever. The Erie Canal (completed in 1825) provided the link between the Eastern Seaboard and the Great Lakes. Let us also recall that the clinical thermometer was not generally available until about 1870. The next four entries record Hill's experience with ship fever beginning with 31 May 1848. Case pneumonia typhoides. Commenced 7 days since with profuse hemorrhage from the lungs. Treatment: -counterirritants and anodynes. Another case of ship fever came in this evening taken 3 days since - landed in Buffalo last evening. Girl aged 20 years symptoms pulse quick and frequent, tongue dry, red about the edge and dark in the middle. Has vomited some and bowels have run off some of diarrhea. Treatment: -neutral mixture potassium nitrate and carbonate of soda with camphorated powder. This morning was taken quite ill, intense headache with distress in the stomach and bowl. Took an emetic of Ipecacuanha, after operating the symptoms were all very much relieved. Visited all the wards in the morning but did not change the dressings on the fractured limb. Case of amputation at joint of the last phalanges of the little and ring fingers, came in this afternoon. The integument and bone was taken off at an even surface - leaving the wounds to heal by granulation. Took off the dressings and applied adhesive strays and Ceratid lint. Another case af typhus fever came in this afternoon . Dressed the leg, it being the sixth day since broken. The ship fever is coming in very rapidly, much too fast for the progress of our hospital. Have been busy most of the day in the sick wards. The next entry does not have anything to do with typhyus fever but it does preceed a later explanation for the absence of 165 subsequent daily entries. 7 June 1848 Visiting the wards in the morning and then went to the city. Took dinner with Dr. Pratt. Drew Velpeau 's Operative Surgery from the Erie County Medical Library. Went fishing after tea on the pier. Caught quite a mess. There are two most singular cases in the sick ward that I have ever witnessed. They are both women, pretending to be sick. The one she says ought to be delivered of a child and previous to her admittance had called a physician several times pretending to be in labor. The physician after being hoaxed several times made an examination to determine whether she was pregnant and came to the conclusion that she was not, though she had previously borne a child of a man with whom she had lived. She now has paroxysms every evening - aping intermittent fever - with this difference, when the cold stage or rather pretended one is on the circulation goes on natural. The skin being naturally warm. There is no fever though the tremors ore excessive. The other like to this case comes on at the same time. The previous history of the patient being different. I can attribute the disease to nothing more than hysteria (in modern terminology pseudocyesis). The next entry is undated, but since Hill mentions 6 January 1849, it must have been written as a prologue for the New Year's Day entry. At any rate, it does explain the gap of 165 daily entries in the diary. 1849 My Journal has been discontinued from the date of the last page up to the present time. This was owing to my time being mostly occupied in the active duties at the Almshouse, and in keeping a registrar of the FALL, 1980 37 d- �cases of disease which come under observation. This I continued until August 30, 1848, when I was taken with typhyus fever which canfined me to my room nearly 7 weeks ond to a bed some 6 weeks. Two weeks of this time is nearly a blank in my existence - not having any recollection of what transpired during the specified time. After my convalescence which was slow but steady I again returned to the Almshouse, it being about 20 October 1848. Here I remained until the sixth of January 1849 when I returned to Dr. Loomis 's. I dissected a fourth of the subject (cadaver) under Dr. (Corydon) LoFord and attended the course of lectures which commenced on the 20th of November besides attending to the duties of my dispensary practice at the Almshouse. 1980 Home Football Games at Rotary Field September 20 - Grove City (Pa) College September 27 Hobat College October 11 - Albany State (Homecoming) ovember 1 - Edinboro (Pa) State College ovember 15 - Alfred 1 january 1849 Did not fall in with custom of the city of making calls but spent my time over the dead in search of health for the living. (Morturi vivos docent.) Took dinner at Dr. Loomis 's. Bought with my churn (Adams) a silver comb for Mrs. Dr. Loomis, presented it to her. I also made a present to Miss Charlotte Loomis of a beautiful card case. At evening went horne to the Almshouse. This was a most bitter day. The time of the above date (undated) to the present has been devoted to attending medical lectures without anything peculiar having taken place with the exception of one of our Professors having got a black eye and some student placed a note on the Professor 's table asking him if "His black eye was in strict accordance with the principles inculcated in his introductory lecture" of which the Professor took umbrage. (He was referring to Dr. Frank H. Hamilton, Dean and Professor of Surgery.) Before continuing with the diary, let me remind you that there was a time when the male midwife (later called obstetrician) did not expose the body of his patient, even in private cases, but made use of a "modesty blanket" which he carried to the scene, tying one end around the neck of the patient and the other around his own neck. It was later discarded, as the long and voluminous clothing then worn by women was sufficient covering. He usually placed himself to the right of the bed where it was most convenient to touch, to follow the progress of labor and support the perineum, all of which had to be done under the bedclothes, for it was with the fingers or the hand and not the eye, that he must determine the progress of labor. Of course, auscultation permitted the physician to examine with the ear and he could also perform ballotment. All of this changed on 18 January 1850 when Dr. James Platt White dared to show the graduating class at Buffalo a real live birth. Let me now return to the diary: 18 March 1849 This evening was requested to attend a partruient patient which Mr. Gray (a fellow student) had been endeavoring to deliver for the past three days. Did not consent to take the patient off from his responsibility, but to visit the patient for him. The next entry: The night was devoted to the attendance on the above mentioned partruient woman. She had been in labor for three days, membranes had been ruptured for 48 hours and the contraction of the uterus ceased before morning. The presentation was head and the position natural but the head was much too Jorge for the pelvis. Applied the forceps but could not succeed in advancing the fetus. I proposed using the perforator but Mr. Gray thought it best to ask the advice and assistance of an older physician. Accordingly Dr. Loomis was asked by me to see the patient which he did and immediately prepared to use the perforator which was done and the patient delivered in about four hours with the assistance of strong and long continued artificial 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �means. There was considerable flooding after the placenta was detached. The contractility of the uterus having greatly diminished from the long distension. Can you imagine performing a craniotomy without seeing what you are doing? There is little wonder that the neonatal and maternal death rates were unnecessarily high prior to 1850 in the United States. Before concluding this narrative with the next two entries, let us consider the following: Quackery in medicine was so rampant at this time in New York City, that it far exceeded that in London, England. It was fair to presume, that many of them "left their country for their country's good" (N.Y. Med. Gazette). Fourteen kinds of doctors were enumerated, some of which were: Regular graduates, M.D.'s who claimed to be both physicians and surgeons; Honorary graduates, many of whom were guiltless of an education of any sort; fictitious, homeopathists, Thompsonian, who used lobelia, cayenne and steam; eclectic, botannical, who relied on roots and herbs; hydropaths, etc. Not to mention the so-called oculists, aurists, lung, liver, kidney and urine doctors, so that no one should have to suffer without doctoring or being doctored in every conceivable variety. There is a serio-comic factor to all of this. A certain advertising quack obtained his diploma from a medical school in the following manner: He came to this country and started peddling with a small toy basket on his arm. One day he met a countryman - an old German physician, who because of his intemperance was disgraced and degraded. Realizing that the peddler was barely supporting his family, the physician advised him to become a doctor. How can I do that when I have no previous education? asked the peddler. The German doctor replied, "You must feign that you cannot speak English and I will interpret for you but we must not let the Professors know that I am a physician." The story came out that the Dutch peddler had been a surgeon in Napoleon's army, etc. He was examined and his friend interpreted to suit the case. A diploma was obtained which served as a passport into the Medical Society of New York. He next advertised in the city, telling of his celebrated elixirs and wonderful cures. With this background let us turn to the next two entries: 1 April1849 In the night was called to see Mr. Gray, a medical student, who was suddenly taken sick. I stayed with him during the night and left him more comfortable this morning ... in the evening visited Mrs. Wood's little son who is dying from the effects of quackery. This child has been dosed with the prescriptions of several quacks and two or three regular physicians at the same time and each without the knowledge of the others. Six days later Have not accomplished much today, got some glass fixtures from Wycoff (a medical student). Some of them belong to the case which I purchased of him some time since. By the urgent solicitation of Mrs. Woods, I prescribed for her child, which is evidently soon going to die of scrofula and caries of the spine. This brings the major quotations from the diary to a close. In order to wind down this talk, the mechanism used will be in the nature of an epilogue -more or less- as follows: FALL, 1980 39 d- �References The references are arranged in the order quoted or paraphrased material that first appeared in the article. 1. orwood, W.F., Medical Education in the United States Before the Civil War.

Buffalo Physician 8: o. 3, 54-62, 1974. John Davidson Hill had a good apprenticeship .and ~e graduated at the head of his class in 1849. The title of. his thesis was "Typhus or Ship Fever". Although a copy of this has not come down to us, we do know from his obituary that he disagreed with the general belief that weakening of the patient by bleeding and purgatives was the right way to treat fever. (That very likely was the way he had been treated for typhus fever.) He administered stimulants (not mentioned- but brandy for one). It is interesting to note that Elizabeth Blackwell, who graduated from Geneva Medical College in January 1849, also submitted an inaugural thesis entitled "Ship Fever". She, of course, as many of you know, was the first woman to receive the M.D. degree in th.e United States. Just before Hill graduated, he wrote on 10 Apnl 1849 "Dr. (Charles A.) Lee met the candidates in the evening for examination (in pathology). There were some most huge bunglers and if they pass an examination it will be a libel upon the profession of medicine." _A lready underway was the appointment of a committee to report on a uniform and elevated standard of requirements for the M.D. degree. This was taken up at t~e National Medical Convention (now A.M.A.) a year later m Philadelphia. The bulk of the complaints about the system of medical education was directed towards the medical colleges. Dr. Charles B. Coventry, Professor of Physiology and Medical Jurisprudence at the University of Buffalo replied, "If you send dolts, you can hardly expect them to come out scientific and intelligent practitioners. 7c would be asking rather too much of the schools to expect them to furnish their pupils brains, as well as instruction." At that time medical colleges were private institutions, chartered by the proper authorities for the purpose of affording facilities for the acquisition of medical education and not for the purpose of deciding who should and who should not study medicine. The faculties were supposed to consider themselves bound, to receive the pupil of any respectable physician. That brings to mind when Lycurgus was consulting with the people in reference to the reform of the State of Sp.arta, one advised the establishment of absolute popular equality: Lycurgus replied to him, "Sir, begin in your own house." This is precise~y how the regular physicians of the early 19th century felt and said to every medical man who was anxious for medical reform, "Sir, begin in your own office. "0 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �A 1972 U/B Medical School graduate has been named director of the division of internal medicine at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Craig R. Smith has been acting head since 1978 and assistant professor of medicine. He was associate director when the division was formed as part of the department of medicine in 1977. Dr. Smith has already developed major teaching, research, and clinical programs in the division. Last year he initiated a popular, year-long, ambulatory care elective for medical students. He has also set up a formal internal medicine consultation service and is developing a model group practice of internal medicine. The group practice will offer around-the-clock, personalized care, and is intended to provide comprehensive care for people who now use the specialized hospital clinics and emergency room for routine care. This project has just received a $768,402 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Dr. Smith and his staff are also conducting a variety of clinical research projects related to the delivery of medical care. His own work centers on an evaluation of the effectiveness and toxicity of various antibiotics. Dr. Smith has been at Hopkins since 1972 as an intern, resident, and faculty member. He belongs to the American College of Physicians, the American Society for Microbiology, and the American Federation for Clinical Research. He is also co-author of the soon-to-be released "Manual of Clinical Pharmacology." "People will now be able to come to Hopkins to see an internist, and see that same internist each time they seek medical care," said Craig R. Smith, head of the division of internal medicine at Hopkins and the physician in charge of the new program. Last year, one fourth of all visits to physicians in this country were made in hospital outpatient settings, according to David E. Rogers, president of the Johnson Foundation and former dean of the School of Medicine. This represents a 50 percent increase in ten years. "Teaching hospitals were not designed for, nor their staffs recruited or organized to serve as the personal physician for thousands of people," says Dr. Rogers. Dr. Smith says, "The new program is an important experiment which we think will result in a segment of the population's getting better medical care, in a more cost-effective manner. Patients can come directly to their regular physician without shuttling back and forth between specialty clinics." And the physicians, Dr. Smith points out, will be able to develop a working relationship with their patients. Fourteen other hospitals across the United States are receiving similar grants from the Johnson Foundation.O FALL, 1980 41 Dr. Craig Smith �Dr. James O'Leary Dr. O 'Leary Dr. James A.

In 1946 he returned to Sisters to become a member of the Medical Staff. In 1961 Dr. Voltz was named the head of Medical Education. "Teaching was his real love," said Mr. Thomas Boyd, vice president of Sisters. "He left private practice because he loved to teach." "For twenty years he worked on a dream ... for Sisters Hospital to become affiliated with the Medical School." That dream came true two years ago. Ten years later, he was also named chief of ambulatory services. His full time career ended last year when he retired from both full time positions. He continued to serve as head of Sisters employee health service until illness forced him into St. Francis Hospital in February. He also served many times as one of the outstanding moderators for WBEN-TV's popular half-hour medical program, "The University of Buffalo Roundtable". Dr. Voltz's dedication to healing did not stop outside of Sisters Hospital. He was an attending physician at Veterans Administration Hospital and at E. J. Meyer Hospital. Dr. Voltz was an assistant clinical professor at the Medical School and served as the president of the Erie County Heart Associ a tion.O Dr. Lippschutz was head of the department of cardiology at Buffalo General Hospital from 1956 to 1968. He was in the United States Naval Reserves from 1937 to 1963 and was on active duty as a Captain from 1940 to 1945. He received his M.D. from Georgetown University in 1932 and did postgraduate work and his internship at Massachusetts General Hospital.D Dr. Urban A. Fischer, M'17, died April 27 at his home in Tampa, Florida. His age was 86. He had moved to Florida in 1973 after retiring 10 years earlier. He had been on the staffs of Deaconess and Sister's Hospitals. He had been honored by the Medical Society of the State of New York with a 50-year citation. He had been active in several professional societies.O A clinical associate professor of microbiology, William L. Hale, died unexpectedly at Kenmore Mercy Hospital April 2. The 41-year-old educator joined the faculty in 1965 after receiving his M.A. from U/B. He taught undergraduate courses in microbiology to pharmacy, nursing and medical technology students. He also taught nursing students at three area hospitals.O FALL, 1980 He was a past president of the Western New York Heart Association and a past director of the American Heart Association. He was a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and the Board of Cardiovascular Disease; a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and the Council on Clinical Cardiology of the American Heart Association. Dr. David Pressman, research professor of microbiology and cancer researcher fell to his death June 15 from the roof at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. He was chairman of the institute's immunology department at the time of his death. His age was 63. He came to Buffalo in 1954 from the Sloan-Kettering Memorial Institute, New York City. Dr. Pressman was listed in "Who's Who in America." He received his Ph.D. in chemistry from the California Institute of Technology. He was considered an expert on immunology and had received several federal grants.O 55 In Memoriam Dr. Lippsch_u_tz_...., �198(}-1981 U!

From the desk of John aughton, M.D. Dean, School of Medicine The Steering Committee and Task Force have now met several times, and five review committees are busily engaged in studying the strengths and weaknesses of the school's 23 active academic departments. The substance of their findings and reports, together with all of the available data dealing with the centralized functions of the medical school, will be brought before the Steering Committee and the Task Force for careful scrutiny and study. It is already evident that a large number of significant recommendations will be forthcoming later in the spring which should improve the quality of the overall edu­ cational environment and student performances. Thus, although a great deal remains to be accomplished in preparation for the accreditation visit, it appears as if the faculty, student body, and administration are moving forward in a unified manner toward the accomplishment of our stated goals and objec­ tives. I admonish each of you, once again, to inform either my of­ fice or those of appropriate program directors, of concerns and advice that you might wish to off er toward the betterment of your medical school. r J �Volume 14, Summer 1980 umber 2 THE BUFF ALO PHYSICIAN IUSPS 551-860) Published by the School of Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo EDITORIAL BOARU Ec/1lor ROBERTS.

Murray Post Graduate Matching Steven Wilson, Dr. Richert Morphy, Katz, Joseph Caruana, Dennis Nadler and Bob Durr ErGHTY-FIVE PERCE T of the senior medical students received their first, second or third choice in the annual National Postgraduate Matching Program. More than one-half (55%) of the 139 students matched with their first choice, according to Dr. Leonard Katz, associate dean. Fifteen students did not participate in the national program and matched themselves. Thirty-seven students selected Buffalo based programs for their residency, and 29 others will remain in New York State. Pennsylvania was favored by 12 students; Connecticut by 9, and Massachusetts by 8. The others are scattered among 19 states. The most popular specialities were medicine, 57; surgery, 22; and family practice, 19. Dr. Katz mentioned several prominent hospital programs where students were matched. They are: family practice at Buf­ falo, Universities of Virginia, orth Carolina, Colorado, Case Western Reserve; and two in Buffalo; medicine, Universities of Minnesota, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Tufts, Einstein, and Boston City Hospital; and nine in Buffalo; pediatrics, six in Buffalo; surgery at SU Y-Buffalo, program No. 1, Seven students; and Univer­ sities of Iowa, orth Carolina, Tufts. On matching day eight seniors who were completing their clinical years overseas called from Israel, England, Scotland and Ireland to find out where they had been assigned.

Dr. Kotz �Medical Ethics A panel representing nursing, law, philosophy and medicine dis­ cussed informed consent and the right to withdraw consent to treatment at the first of 11 noon-time seminars on Human Values and Medical Ethics. The participants were: Dr. Mila Aroskar, associate professor of graduate nursing education; Dr. Louis Swartz, associate professor of law and jurisprudence; Dr. Richard Hull, associate professor of philosophy; and Dr. Sidney Anthone, clinical professor of surgery. In his opening remarks as panel moderator, Dr. Hull talked briefly about the utilitarian and deontological patterns of deci­ sion making in medicine. This is the theme of the fall series of seminars. He introduced the case study that involved a 35-year­ old woman who had a lump on her breast. She did not want a mastectomy, but did consent to removal of the lump and a biopsy. What if the biopsy was positive, he asked. Dr. Aroskar suggested that informed consent should be achieved by doctors and nurses and other members of the health team working together with the patient and the immediate family. "This was not an emergency situation. And what if the patient believes that death isn't all that bad." Dr. Anthone noted that often doctors make the final decision based upon conscious and sub-conscious factors. "There is usual­ ly a difference of opinion because of religion or political factors. For example, President Carter is having trouble getting the world to believe in human rights. A surgeon must explain in detail to the patient what the surgery is all about but I don't discuss all the risk factors in detail. I don't want to frighten the patient. I spend much more time talking to a patient who may lose a breast than one who is going to have a gall bladder removed. Be patient with the patient when you are maiming the body." Dr. Anthone went on to say that "the law has clouded some of our decisions. Doctors must treat their patients like they would like to be treated themselves. Don't be afraid to get consultation from other specialists. Written consent is a legal document that might not hold up in court." Dr. Swartz said, "informed consent rests with the health professionals. In this case if the surgeon goes ahead and removes the breast against the patients' will he may be prosecuted and is certainly courting liability. There are emotional overtones in this case and the physician should not jump to conclusions regarding the patient without checking and double-checking. Be sure the patient knows in general what you are going to do. If the patient does not have the mental capacity to make a decision bring in a psychiatrist as a consultant. "O Three professors representing law, philosophy and psychiatry discussed "the right to psychiatric treatment" at the second seminar on Medical Ethics and Human Values. Dr. Robert F. Berger of the U/B law school noted that psy­ chiatric treatment was often the basis for commitment. Also if the person appears to be dangerous to himself or others or unable to care for himself he probably should be commited to a hospital for treatment. Can psychiatrists really predict who will be dangerous? Philosophy professor Dr. Peter H. Hare suggested that 10 THE BUFF ALO PHYSICIA �physical problems might cause mental illness in some in­ dividuals. "Often a physical illness can have a peculiar effect on a person to such an extent that diagnosis is very difficult." In responding to the two speakers Dr. Marvin Herz noted that during the last decade psychiatrists have been emptying hospitals, not filling them. "Psychiatrists are not commited to locking up people and throwing away the key. Avoid hospitalization if possible. "Most voluntary admissions occur when patients are acutely ill, very disorganized and can't care for themselves. Most patients when treated properly can return to society and function proper­ ly. But patients can not be dumped out of the hospital and into the community without support service and treatment." The professor and chairman of U/B's psychiatry department admitted that it is very difficult to predict "dangerousness." It is very complicated and there are no clear cut answers. In commit­ ment proceedings the Judge, not the psychiatrist, makes the deci­ sion. For treatment Dr. Herz suggested therapy, drugs and other medication so the patient can be rehabilitated soon and not get lost in the hospital. □ A 1976 Medical School graduate, Dr. Herman Mogavero, presented the case history of a 33-year-old black woman (with two young children) for discussion at the third Medical Ethics and Human Values seminar. A clinically oriented audience par­ ticipated in the session at the Erie County Medical Center. The woman had a long history of extrinsic asthma with multiple ER visits and hospitalizations. Her previous asthma attack was mark­ ed by respirator failure requiring intubation. She did well and was discharged. One week later she came to the emergency room in an ambulance with a shortness of breath, a respiratory rate of 50, semi-responsive state and diaphoresis. She had a respiratory arrest followed by a cardiac arrest. She was defibrillated twice with return to sinus rhythm. She was transferred to the ICU in a coma. Two months later she is still in a coma and requires total nursing care. Dr. Robert L. Dickman said, "we are searching for guidelines to situations like this. Ethical rounds are becoming more common in hospitals and we should discuss this case before we are faced with making a decision. What is our moral obligation? What does freedom of choice imply?" The assistant professor of social and preventice medicine and assistant clinical professor of medicine, noted that the rise in medical technology and the amount of medical resources available makes this decision more complex. Professor Hull asked several ethical questions: "Is the person alive? How shall we proceed? What treatment is appropriate? Who should make the decisions? Effects on nurses, physicians and other members of the health care team if the treatment is passive rather than vigorous? Is there a chance of restoring the patient to normal life? Would your decision be different if the patient was 80 years old?" Dr. orman Chassin, M'45 clinical associate professor of medicine, introduced the panel and moderated the discussion. □ SUMMER, 1980 11 Continuing Medical Education July 11, 12 Echocardiography (basic, intermediate, advanced courses) - at Webster Hall, Millard Fillmore Hospital. Program chairman Dr. Jules Constant, associate clinical professor of medicine. □ cJ- �A Priest, a social worker and a physician discussed the rights of a mother to have an abortion at the fourth Medical Ethics and Human Values seminar. The three professionals - Father John Chandler, social worker Judith Sullivan, and Dr. Robert Dickman, a physician, agreed that "if an abortion is not a tragedy it is destructive." Panel moderator Dr. Richard Hull, associate professor of philosophy, briefly outlined the three positions - conservative­ traditional, central, and supreme courts - in his opening state­ ment. The specific (true) case involved a 40-year-old women who wanted an abortion for the purpose of sex selection. She had two boys and wanted her third child to be a girl. Early tests showed that she could expect a perfectly healthy boy. The panelists agreed that this was a bizarre case. There was a lively pro and con discussion involving the medical students, but no clear cut decision was reached. There seemed to be agreement among the panel members that there must be other reasons behind the womans decision to have an abortion. Father Chandler asked, "if an ethical decision can be made on freedom of choice?" Dr. Dickman noted that there is no moral justification for 'abortion on demand.' □ The Family Asthma Program (featured in the last issue} has added two new people who are working with Dr. Cropp. They are JilJ LaMantia, R.N., M.S., P . . A., and Tom DeLoughry, M.S. They are conducting workshops to educate parents and children. □ Does the physician have an obligation to the poor? What does the public and society expect from the medical profession? These were among the topics discussed by Ors. Robert Dickman and Richard Hull at the fifth medical ethics seminar on "Justice and Health Care Delivery." Some people believe that physicians should distribute themselves to provide basic health care to the general population, according to Dr. Hull. Some politicians believe that medical students after completing their internship should serve two years in the ational Health Corps. The panel and students had a lively discussion of Robert Veatch's medical ethics case studies and Dr. Robert M. Sade's philosophy that "medical care is a right." Dr. Dickman asked, "how do we separate needs from desire in our patients? As a physician what is your obligation to a patient who comes to you with severe lung cancer because he has been smoking excessively for many years?" Dr. Hull noted that where there is only one physician to 50,000 people it would be most difficult for the physician to give minimal health care to this many people. What does the physi­ cian do? Who does he turn away? There are 142 counties in the United States without physicians. □ There was a 90-minute discussion on the allocation of scarce medical resources at the sixth medical ethics seminar. This in­ cluded the traditional Hippocratic view (Macro) and the newer social service view (Micro). The Hippocratic view is according to ability to pay and benefit medically or according to order of application. The social view is according to social worth or com­ pensatory justice. 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. David Klein, associate professor of neurosurgery noted that society is not thinking much about allocation, but believe that serving the patient is the major responsibility of the physician. "We are doing nothing about allocation at Children's Hospital. Many physicians believe that it isn't their duty to become in­ volved in allocation of resources." Dr. Klein suggested that very often people with more income get things faster and easier. But he believes that this is diminishing in our society today. Ors. Robert Dickman and Richard Hull, participants in the presentation, asked several penetrating and thought provoking questions. Could the $40 million that the federal government spends annually on dialysis treatment for 40,000 people be better spent in other ways to benefit society? What is the value of health? How important are health services? Should adequate health care take precedence over improved highways and better museums? Should we put money into things that will make peo­ ple happier? Do we need to develop new health care resources? Who should receive the available transplant organs? In conclusion Dr. Dickman told the medical students, "these are just a few of the hard decisions that you may be making in a few years. They are not easy decisions and many will have to be made at bedside. Physicians, if they would unite, could have a tremendous impact on many of these decisions and problems." □ Pediatric i\.1edicalEducation July 10, 11 What's ew in Pediatric Lung Disease.

There is some evidence of incompetence in hospitals, but most of it goes undisciplined, according to Dr. Donald Becker, clinical professor of surgery. "Incompetent practice is not the same as mal-practice." Speaking to medical students attending the human values and medical ethics seminar, Dr. Becker noted that little is done to supervise the quality of office practice. "Most mechanisms within the medical system are just not effective. It is hard to suspend a physician from a hospital staff for a short time or a long period." Dr. Becker noted two exceptions - the physician who is drunk or on drugs. "There should be a mechanism to take care of the 'sick' physician, but none is available today." Dr. Robert Dickman suggested that incompetence could mean gross negligence, sloppiness of care, the sick physician or one who is not knowledgeable. The physicians agreed that most patient complaints have nothing to do with incompetence. "We all make errors in judg­ ment. We can't all be 100 per cent perf eel; even the superior physician has his bad days." Dr. Richard Hull said, "the nurse is the untapped resource because she is with the patient more than the physician and is a source of protection for the patient." □ "Parents to bring children Swartz, medical have a lot of leeway when it comes to decisions on how up their children. It is only when parents abuse their that legal action can be taken." Thal is what Dr. Louis associate professor of law and jurisprudence, told students in the final medical ethics seminar. SUMMER, 1980 13 d- �Parents may chose to send their children to a boarding school or keep them out of school to go camping, hiking or mountain climbing. Unless the activity is dangerous to the child, it is legal, he noted. The students and faculty discussed whether or not it is ever morally permissible to conduct an experiment on a patient that does not carry a strong potential of therapeutic benefit to that patient, particularly when the patient is not able to give informed consent. They focused their attention on the Willowbrook State Hospital, an institution for the care of the mentally retarded. It was here that during a 14 year period 700 retarded children had infected serum injected to produce hepatitis. The objective: to gain a better understanding of the disease and possibly to develop methods of immunizing against hepatitis. Morally wrong seemed to be the consensus of the medical students. □ Dr. W.S. Smith Dr. Smith Dr. Warren S. Smith, M'29, a member of the Kenmore Mercy medical staff for 25 years until his retirement in 1975, is the first recipient of the Sister Mechtilde Memorial Award. Dr. Smith received the award April 10 as the highlight of the Sister Mechtilde Memorial Award Dinner at the Holiday Inn on Grand Island. Kenmore Mercy Hospital is establishing the award to honor a person whose life and achievements parallel and reflect the ideals and values of Sister Mechtilde O'Connor, founder and first administrator of the hospital. A family practitioner who resided in Kenmore since his school days at Kenmore High School, Dr. Smith was graduated from Hobart College in 1925 and the University of Buffalo Medical School in 1929. He completed an internship at Buffalo General Hospital and was affiliated with the United States Public Health Service in the Buffalo area in the early 1930s, prior to es­ tablishing a general practice in the Kenmore-Tonawanda area. For many years, Dr. Smith served as head of the general practice department at Kenmore Mercy and as a staff member at Millard Fillmore Hospital. At the time of his retirement, he was the oldest active member of the Kenmore Mercy staff. The Mechtilde Award recipient, now a resident of Bluff Point, New York, is the center of a three-generation medical family - his father, the late Dr. Gideon D. Smith, moved to the Buffalo area in 1918 and his son Thomas is an internal medicine specialist in orth Carolina. Thousands of persons in Kenmore Mercy's service area were counseled and treated by Dr. Smith over the years. His caring and sharing efforts were an integral part of the tradition es­ tablished at the hospital by Sister Mechtilde, her staff and employees. □ 14 THE BUFF ALO PHYSIC IA �There will be special summer programs available for 145 medical students in 32 programs.

Part of a national study sponsored by the American College of Surgeons, it follows a course of a patient's disease. Last year, it reported over 260 new cancer patients. Of these, the lungs were the most frequently diagnosed site for cancer, followed by colon, breast and prostate. These figures mimic national averages with ages 60-69 ac­ counting for the greatest number. Heading the program is Dr. James T. Evans, research assis­ tant professor of surgery. He is supported by Betty Rustay and Mary Applegate. □ Tumor Registry SUMMER, 1980 15 �Dues Paying Alumni, 1979 A special thanks to the dues-paying medical alumni listed here.

Co-sponsors were Roswell Park Memorial Institute, AMSA, the Medical School. Dr. Jacqueline Messite, a consultant in occupational medicine for the ational Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, noted that there were 162,000 occupational illnesses in the United Stales in 1977, over two million injuries at work, and more than 14,000 job related deaths. "What the patient does in terms of employ­ ment is just as important as the family history, the intake of food and alcohol. But the patient's working conditions are often ig­ nored." Dr. Messite and Dr. Arthur Frank of the Mt. Sinai Medical School showed an occupational history form so the worker can give a detailed description of his working conditions. Physicians should also check out the chemicals that go into the manufacture of products; check the patient's hobbies and his smoking habits. Dr. Donald Birmingham, chairman of the dermatology depart­ ment at Wayne State University, noted that dermatoses make up almost one-half of all cases of occupational diseases. "All doctors want to be detectives and should enjoy exploring conditions at an office or a factory." Dr. Alan Saltzman, M'67, assistant professor of medicine, presented an overview of environmental lung disease which are induced by dusts, antigens, fumes or gases. Dr. Jan ovak, M'70, assistant professor of medicine, talked about the predominant causes of the different types of hepatic in­ jury. He focused upon incidences of exposures to polyhalugenated buphenyls (PCBS), dioxin, and poly-vinyl chloride, which causes the extremely rare and incurable angiosurcoma. Dr. Stephen Barron, M'68, clinical assistant professor of neurology, described the tools he uses to quantify the signs and symptoms of peripheral nervous system disease. He also iden­ tified some of the problems facing a physician who wants to es­ tablish an occupational etiology for a disease for purposes of treat­ ment, prognosis or compensation. Attorney Sherry Bellissimo noted that doctors, lawyers, un­ ions and management must work together towards the solution of the occupational health problem. For 45 years he has represented members of the UAW and other unions. "For a worker to obtain compensation for an illness, all a physician must write is that 'it is reasonable to assume' that the disease is job related." Dr. Harry Sultz, dean of the School of Health Related Professions, said "occupational health is on the move and medical education will have to run to catch up. Management and labor are beginning to recognize their common interests." Dr. Sultz is engag­ ed in a study, as a representative of the Oil Chemical and Atomic Workers Union, with an epidemiologist from Hooker Chemical on the health of workers at the iagara Falls plant. □ 24 THE BUFF ALO PHYSICIA �M T W T JUNE F s s 14 21 28 15 1 1980 4 5 6 10 17 24 11 18 25 12 19 26 13 20 27 7 14 1 8 15 2 9 16 JULY 3 10 17 21 28 22 29 23 30 2 9 16 23 30 June 23 - A Julv 18 July 21 - B 4 - - - AUQUS\ 15 11 5 12 August 18 18 25 19 26 1 2 9 C September 12 8 September 15 15 22 29 D October 10 6 7 13 14 21 28 20 27 E F December 5 December 8 12 19 6 13 20 25 24 31 AUGUST 1 8 7 6 15 I 14 13 26 27 2 3 10 17 4 9 16 22 23 21 20 30 29 27 28 SEPTEMBER 5 6 4 3 12 I 13 10 11 - 24 31 7 14 20 27 21 28 4 11 5 12 18 25 19 26 1 8 2 9 14 15 13 19 20 21 22 27 28 29 26 DECEMBER 4 5 I 6 3 16 23 30 17 24 19 26 18 25 School of Medicine OCTOBER 1 3 2 10 I 8 9 15 22 29 17 24 31 16 23 30 4 10 17 24 11 18 25 1 2 8 29 9 16 23 30 11 10 17 18 24 25 31 JANUARY 1 5 12 19 26 6 13 20 27 7 14 21 28 Januarv 2 - 5 22 29 11 18 I 3 15 22 G 1981 8 FOUR WEEK MODULAR SCHEDULE 1980 - 1981 NOVEMBER NovembPr 10 - 16 23 30 October 13 Novemt,e, 7 - 3 January 5 H Januarv 30 5 7 I 6 12 8 15 22 29 12 13 20 27 19 26 2 I 9 16 23 30 J 10 17 24 31 7 14 21 28 4 jLJ 18 25 FEBRUARY 1 February 2 Februar 27 2 9 16 23 3 10 17 24 4 11 18 25 8 6 13 20 27 7 14 21 28 5 12 19 26 6 13 20 27 7 14 21 I 28 15 22 29 3 10 17 24 I 4 11 18 25 5 12 19 26 1 8 15 22 2 9 16 I 23 3 10 17 24 5 12 19 26 15 22 MARCH 1 March 2 - - March 27 2 9 16 23 3 10 17 24 March 30 JO 31 J 4 11 18 25 Anni 24 6 13 20 7 14 21 22 APRIL 2 9 16 23 Aprol27 27 28 29 30 5 12 19 6 13 1 K 8 15 8 I ' The School of Medicine will be converting from the traditional calen­ dar to a new four-week modular schedule for the clinical years begin­ ning with the 1980-81 academic year, according to Dr. Leonard Katz, associate dean of students and curricular affairs.

Rocco Venuto who heads it. An alternate treatment to hemodialysis, it also is available at the Veterans Hospital. He added that both treatments for those in chronic renal failure - peritoneal and hemodialysis - are provided on an inpatient as well as home care basis. "The kidneys of these patients are no longer able to filter out wastes or poisons in body tissues, a process essential to survival," he said. ot only does this service in peritoneal dialysis provide a more natural form of treatment - the body rather than a machine does the work of nonfunctioning kidneys - but patients have more control over lifestyle as well. "A patient on home care needs no help to perform the treatment, much of which takes place as he sleeps," he added. In hemodialysis, assistance is necessary. A slower treatment than hemodialysis - it takes 40 hours compared to 12 to 18. Dr. Venuto finds it a less traumatic ap­ proach to care of these patients. "In hemodialysis," he said, "the patient is hooked to a renal dialysis machine via a permanent shunt in the arm three times a week. It results in a more rapid change as well as adjustment in body chemistry," he said. In peritoneal dialysis, a permanent catheter is inserted into the peritoneal cavity of a patient's abdomen. And its dacron cuff soon attaches to the patient's skin. The skin, growing into the fibre, anchors the catheter in place. "This helps to prevent infec­ tion," Or. Venuto said. Dr. Venuto, Joyce Ate/son 28 THE BUFF ALO PHYSICIA �Then, all a patient need do before going to sleep, is to plug in the catheter to an uncomplicated cycler along the bedside on which bottles of a special fluid have been placed. And, while he sleeps (usually eight hours a night, five nights a week) gravity leads the fluid into the peritoneal cavity. This, in turn, prods poisons from nearby body tissues to filter through the peritoneum, a membrane lining abdominal walls and mix with the fluid which soon returns to the cycler via gravity. Then, on awakening, the patient need only unplug the connection and the treatment is complete. The fluid, Dr. Venuto said, mimics normal body chemistries. The cycler not only warms the fluid before it reaches the patient but measures its volume on return as well. "If the amount is not correct, an alarm will alert the patient," he said. Why peritoneal dialysis fell into disfavor for so many years was due to a high risk of infection. "A slower procedure, it re­ quires more plugging and unplugging of the patient to the machine," he said. But with better aseptic techniques - dis­ posable tubing, etc. - this is no longer a serious problem," he said. Which type of treatment is best for the patient is weekly patient care reviews. Then, after the most proach is determined, it is reviewed with the patient. home peritoneal dialysis care, the patient is trained avoid infection. discussed at positive ap­ If it is to be on ways to Since the onset of the home care program in peritoneal dialysis a year and a half ago - it was initiated by Dr. Evan Strong who is now in private practice in California - 11 patients have opted for the service. One, Dr. Venuto reports, is back work­ ing regularly. Its cost? Dr. Venuto is quick to point to home care as the least costly. "Getting the patient out of the hospital and home reduces not only medical costs but allows the patient more control over lifestyle." The psychological adjustment to dependency on a machine can be traumatic for some patients, he added. Initially he points to peritoneal dialysis as least costly. The cycler, less expensive than a dialysis machine has no need of filtered water. But, in the long run, he notes its higher costs due to disposable tubing and glass bottles. The Federal government picks up the tab. What may prove a problem to the patient is storage space. "At least 20 two-gallon bottles of fluid must be stored for home use," he said. He foresees early introduction of plastic bottles as somewhat alleviating the problem. Treatment for patients on home care is highly individualized. "These patients come in for a checkup once a month," he added. Currently receiving a very close look at the medical center is round-the-clock peritoneal dialysis. Says Dr. Venuto, "Because it provides the most normal body chemistry, the patient is left with a better sense of well being.'' □ SUMMER, 1980 29 Dr. Venuto is assistant professor of medicine and Buswell Fellow. �Residents, Interns Honored Certificates were awarded to 166 residents and interns who completed all or part of their specialty training at the University teaching hospitals.

The long flight (13 air hours) was uneventful and expectations high as the traveling party, put together by the U/B Alumni Association and numbering 142 people in all, set off from Niagara Falls for Papeete via Oakland, California, arriving in Tahiti late evening. Days were spent enjoying absolutely breathtaking scenery from our hotel, the Tahara's, 10 stories built into the side of a mountain with the lobby and pool deck at the highest level. Everyone could see Moorea in the distance. It was another 200 steps from floor 10 down to the black sand palm-studded beach, shared with attractive natives. Highlights of the island side trips were Moorea, a short boat ride from downtown Papeete but still literally untouched by civilization, and Bora Bora, as romantic as it sounds and a short flight. Tahiti had many sights such as two waterfalls in its remote interior, an offshore "blow hole" where water spouted 50 feet in the air, the Paul Gauguin Museum and a seeming endless pagentry of Tahitian dancers and theatrical performers. Sports Medicine, Critical Care Medicine and Sexuality Function and Dysfunction were the three topics discussed by seminar participants. Or. Edmond J. Gicewicz, clinical professor of surgery and medical alumni president at that time, led the session on Sports medicine. Dr. John E. Przylucki, clinical instructor in surgery, handled critical care topics and Joann Carbone, R. . and a certified clinical specialist in mental health who is associated with the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Bay Pines, Florida led sessions on sexuality. □ SUMMER, 1980 31 .\fooreo �The dedication ceremonies. VA Dedication Better and more efficient medical care for patients was the theme touched on by the speakers at the dedication of the new $7 million Ambulatory Care Building of the Veterans Administration Medical Center. Several hundred people attended the outdoor ceremony. In his dedication address Dr. James C. Crutcher, chief medical director, VA department of medicine and surgery, Washington, D.C. noted that the new unit symbolizes "where we have come since 1946. In 33 years VA hospitals are affiliated with 103 medical and 53 dental schools. In the last decade the VA has assumed more responsibility for the care of veterans, 1.6 million. With the veteran population aging demands on the system will even be greater in the years ahead." The Washington physician predicted that in the future the VA hospitals will be a more integral resource of national health care. "We must continue to work for the ultimate good of all veterans. Our goal will continue to be quick, quality treatment so the patients can leave the hospital and go home." In his welcome Joseph Paris, medical center director, said "the new facility would benefit Buffalo and all of Western ew York. This building offers expanded space for laboratories, radiology, pharmacy and outpatient clinics. Waiting time will be reduced for incoming patients." Dean John aughton noted that this new facility will prepare physicians for years ahead. "We at the Medical School will con­ tinue to work with this teaching hospital to improve health care. This is a grand and glorious day for all of us - faculty, staff, veterans and their families." 32 THE BUFF ALO PHYS ICIA �U/B's vice president for health sciences Dr. F. Carter Pannill, Jr. brought personal good wishes from President Robert Ketter, who was unable to attend the ceremonies. "This teaching hospital is very important to the University. We will continue to combine our talents in the delivery of quality health care." Dr. Andrew Gage, chief of staff at the VA Medical Center, was the master of ceremonies and introduced several others who spoke briefly. They were William Lawson, Executive Director, Veterans Federal Coordinating Committee; Henry J. owak, Congressman, 37th district; Edward Rutkowski, Erie County Executive; and James D.

Barone, M'66, and Or. John E. Byfield. Biopsies performed before and after treatment have con­ firmed that four patients have been free of tumors for periods ranging up to two and a half years following treatment with a combination chemotherapy and radiation. Four other patients are free of symptoms, with no signs of tumor re-growth. All are well past the six-month average survival period for cancer spread to the liver and may be presumed to be cured, according to Barone, who is assistant professor of Surgery at UCSD and chief of sur­ gical oncology at the Veterans Administration Hospital. La Jolla. The successful treatment involves a combination of x-ray and chemotherapy in which the drug Floxuridine (FUDR), a drug similar to 5-Fluorouracil, makes cancer cells more vulnerable to radiation when fed into the liver through a catheter in the hapac­ tic artery. Twelve x-ray treatments span a five-week period on a week-on, week-off schedule. (Success of similar therapy with a longer course of x-ray for cancer of the esophagus was recently reported by Byfield, Chief of Radiation Oncology at the Medical Center.) A new version of the treatment, in which an infusion pump that injects the FUDR on a continuing basis is implanted under the skin of the abdomen, is being tried at present with another four liver cancer patients, Barone said. This frees the patient from having to carry and care for the external device that has been used in the past. Like the pacemakers worn by heart patients, the 3-inch titanium disc with a flexible catheter connec­ ting to the liver artery enables patients to continue their normal life styles. They come to the hospital every 18 to 25 days to have I LET SEP'T\JM NEEDLESTOP AUXILIARY SEPTUM -- OtARGING FUJIO CHAMBER MODEL400 36 .,.isijjj THE BUFF ALO PHYSICIA , �the pump refilled in a 10-minute outpatient procedure. All four patients have tolerated the experimental implant well, Barone reported. The first pump has been functioning for seven months. , A new model of the subcutaneous infusion pump now being developed will enable the administration of any chemotherapeutic agent in addition to FUDR directly into any organ of the body, Dr. Barone said. "We are presently in the process of adapting this method to continuous systemic in­ travenous infusion for the treatment of widely-metastic tumors," he explained. "Receiving lower doses of chemotherapy on a con­ tinuing basis hopefully will destroy more cancer cells without the toxic side effects that sometimes accompany chemotherapy delivered by rapid intravenous injection." The inner chamber of the infusion pump which contains the chemotherapeutic agent is surrounded by an outer chamber filled with liquid Freon. The patient's body heat converts the Freon into a gas and the pressure exerted by the gas compresses the inner movable chamber and propels the drug through the catheter into the artery. The pressure exerted when the pump is refilled with the drug (through a percutaneous skin puncture) converts the Freon back into liquid state and the process is repeated. The importance of the implantable pump lies in its accep­ tance by patients who found the treatment unacceptable in terms of daily living when an external pump was used. Chemotherapy given through an artery enables delivery of the chemotherapeutic agent directly to the malignant cells on a constant basis. Theoretically chemotherapy given in this manner should be more effective because the drug will be present whenever the cancer cells are growing, the only time that most drugs are effective. The combination of FUDR chemotherapy and x-ray treatment which apparently has destroyed liver malignancies in eight cases did not achieve the hoped for result with 15 other patients who were treated. The cancer regressed initially in some cases but then grew back, Barone said. "We found the therapy most effective on cancers small enough not to have significantly impaired liver function. In other cases, the cancer cells were relatively resistant to the treatment. We are presently experimenting with other drugs to find one or a combination of drugs which will work on these resistant cells and make them more sensitive to radiation," he explained. Dr. Barone cautions that these results are only preliminary. "Although it appears that cancer spread to the liver can be arrested in some instances, we don't know as yet if the cancer will show up in other organs at a later time. Additional studies of this therapy are required. Cancer of the colon is the most common form of the disease in internal organs. There will be approximately 112,000 new cases of cancer of the colon and rectum this year and 50,000 deaths. One half of the deaths will result from spread of the cancer to the liver and subsequent fatal liver failure. □ SUMMER, 1980 37 Dr. Barone �Dr. Weldon Medical Pioneer Dr. Weldon Dr. Virginia Weldon, M'62, of St. Louis was among 10 women selected as "Women of Achievement" in 1978 by the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The women were picked for making unique con­ tributions to the people of the community. Dr. Weldon was honored along with the other women at the traditional luncheon in February at the Chase-Park Plaza Hotel. The first "Women of Achievement" were selected in 1955. Dr. Weldon is a medical pioneer and an internationally known pediatric endocrinologist. She is a skilled medical practitioner and a caring mother. She is associate professor of pediatrics at Washington University School of Medicine; a member of scientific societies and active participant in neighborhood agencies and community health programs. As assistant to the vice chancellor for medical affairs at the School of Medicine, she is frequently in Washington as a liaison between the institution and government, and is recognized nationally as an authority on public grants and legislation affecting health care and medical education. But Or. Weldon's heart is also with the children she treats. Some of those are diabetics or suffer heart or kidney disease. Some are dwarfs, facing the heartache of growing up but not grow­ ing tall, children brought to St. Louis Children's Hospital from all over the world for diagnosis and treatment in a program pioneered by Dr. William Daughaday. Toronto-born (now an American citizen]. educated at Smith College and the University of Buffalo School of Medicine, she is medical adviser of the Greater St. Louis Human Growth Founda­ tion. As a medical scientist, she speaks of the physical problem, of its treatment through drugs and therapy, of research uncovering its hidden secrets. Dr. Weldon is part of a team which has developed and refined an effective test for growth hormone deficiency. With two professional schedules and two school schedules to be meshed, life at home is a blend of tight-ship organization and easy-going adaptability. But the family ties are close and time is set apart for relaxation and togetherness. She is a gifted classical pianist and relaxes with her music or, when her husband may be watching football, with her needlepoint. Her widowed mother, Mrs. John Verra!, lives just a block or so away. Every year the Weldons take a family spring vacation. This year it will be aboard a sailboat in the Caribbean. Dr. Weldon began her research into the problems of human growth at Johns Hopkins University, where she was intern, resi­ dent and instructor in pediatrics. In 1963, she married a fellow physician at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Clarence S. Weldon, chief resident in surgery, and five years later they came to St. Louis. Weldon, known to her and his colleagues as Larry, is now chief car­ diothoracic surgeon at Barnes Hospital and St. Louis Children's Hospital and head of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Washington University School of Medicine. Their daughters, Ann and Susan, are students at John Burroughs. □ 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �A $825,000 renovation and expansion of the Buffalo General Hospitals X-ray department is under way, according to Dr. Roy E. Seibel, head of diagnostic radiology and clinical associate professor of radiology. The proposed x-ray project calls for the ad­ dition of two or more rooms to the department, one for the majori­ ty of angiology procedures and a second for general radiology and fluoroscopy. Also provided within the framework of the plans is the purchase of an automated self-processing chest unit to replace existing equipment, some parts of which are over 20 years old. The proposed room for angiology procedures, except coronary arteriography and cardiac angiology, will be installed to meet the increased demands for angiology studies. Presently, these services are being performed in the cardiac catherization laboratory, which can no longer accommodate the angiographic studies because of the increased volume in both heart studies and other angiology procedures. Also, in the near future, nearly all angiology procedures presently being performed at the Deaconess division will be scheduled at the High Street site's X-ray Department. This will in­ crease the load by approximately 250 procedures per year. A pro­ jected total of 900 cases will be performed annually in this specially-equipped room. Donations help fund project According to the national planning guide for radiologic in­ stallation, Dr. Seibel said, utilization of the equipment at High Street is presently double the norm. Therefore, the additional general radiographic and fluoroscopic room and the installation of the new equipment to perform chest examinations will alleviate the present overcrowding and overloading of existing X-ray facilities and will permit expansion of the service capabilities necessary to a tertiary care, major teaching hospital. □ Dr. V. Bushan Bhardwaj has been appointed associate director of Deaconess Hospital's Family Practice Residency Training program. He was also named associate chairman of the depart­ ment of family medicine at the Medical School. He comes to Buf­ falo from SU Y/Stony Brook where he was an associate professor of family medicine. A native of Kenya, Dr. Bhardwaj was educated in England. ow a U.S. citizen, he is the first American physician to earn board certification in three specialties: family medicine, internal medi­ cine and pediatrics. While at Stony Brook, Dr. Bhardwaj was active in the develop­ ment and direction of undergraduate and graduate courses. He served as medical director of the Brentwood Family Health Center, Southsides Hospital and assistant director of the Family Medicine Residency Program at assau County Medical Center. Dr. Bhardwaj has contributed to family medicine in professional journals and has also authored a number of books dealing with preparation for medical examinations. He. has co­ authored a book entitled Specialty Board Review - Family Pra~­ tice and written a chapter in a comprehensive new textbook, Family Medicine: Principles and Practice. . . . . He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and active m 25 medical societies in the United States and England. □ X-Ray Renovations Dr. Bhardwaj Dr. Bhardwaj �Letter to the Editor Dear Sir: The Winter, 1979 Issue of the Buffalo Physician contained a discussion by Dr. Ed­ I?und Gicewicz on HM O's. I feel that equal lime should be given to an opposing view­ point. I am a full time family physician for The Health Care Plan, a staff model HMO in West Seneca, New York. The discussion by Dr. Gicewicz contained generalizations, irrelevant comparisons, half-truths and statements that are totally false. I would like to analyze and criticize Dr. Gicewicz's dis­ cussion point by point. He states that "HMO medicine is like Army medicine because physicians are on salary and there is not much incentive." As a full time physician working in an HMO, I can te~l you_ that my salary is very competitive with private practice, if you consider hours worked per week. I am also given cost of liv­ ing_raises yearly and merit "raises" yearly which are based on quality of care, patient acceptance, . reliabil_ity and productivity. I feel that he is speaking of financial incentive because all of the physicians that I work with get a great deal of professional incentive by giving quality care to patients at a reasonable and stable cost to the patient. Dr. Gicewicz implied that salaried physicians do not have any incentive to work hard. This would apply to university and full lime faculty attendings, I presume; and, carried one step further to any corporate or business person who is salaried. Does this mean any salaried person does not do his or her best because they are working for a set amount of money? Hardly! Dr. Gicewicz states "The Federal Govern­ ment General Accounting Office studied 14 various types of HMO's recently. They found 40 that three of them may achieve financial in­ d_epen?ence, five had a fair chance of being financially solvent, and six have a poor chance of survival." He goes on to state "This is a ringing indictment that most HMO's are marginal operations and go into financial limbo in a few years." The former statement is a generalization, and the latter, not only is a generalization, but a half-truth. The fact is that of the over 200 HMO's in America, there are over 115 federally qualified. Of the federally qualified less than 5% have failed. The most recent and blantant failure was an IPA model HMO in Colorado which has a membership of over 30,000 patients. This less than 5% failure rate for federally qualified HMO's is a far cry from the "ringing indict­ ment that most HMO's are marginal operations." Dr. Gicewicz goes on to make an irrelevant analogy by comparing the Federal Government's lack of success in Social Security, the Post Office, Railroads, and of all things, the Swine Flu Program. What these have to do with HMO's is beyond my com­ prehension, just as you might find it difficult to comprehend an analogy that I might make between successful Government programs and the success of HMO's. He also states that "HMO's are the product of politicians, bureaucrats, and social activists." He probably forgot to men­ tion that HMO's arose out of a labor move­ ment as a way to stabilize cost of medical care over 40 years ago, and in fact was started by an employer for the benefit of his employees. Today they are the product of the people. For today over 8 million people receive health care through the HMO, and it is predicted that by 1989 almost 20 million will be receiving care through HMO's. If the people didn't like them the people wouldn't subscribe, and the HMO's would not be prospering as they do today, and have been for over 40 years. He makes an absolutely true statement when he says "HMO is a prepaid health plan." This is by definition and I have no comment, but to agree. He also states "HMO's have enrolled very few indigent or elderly people," and don't offer open enrollment." In fact, HMO's offer THE BUFF ALO PHYSICIA �more open enrollment than their com­ petitors. They even enroll Medicaid and Medicare patients when allowed. Although the percentage of indigent and elderly peo­ ple is usually less than the general popula­ tion, it exceeds that of the Blue Plansfand, HMO's cannot refuse a patient with any chronic disease or pre-existing disease such as dialysis patients. How many private physicians refuse Medicaid or Medicare patients in their private practices in a com­ munity, or refuse to accept third party payments of any kind? Or. Gicewicz goes on to state that "HMO's have not directed their medical services to underserved areas." This is a problem to all of medicine and society, and not HMO's. If physicians were redistributed to serve in un­ derserved areas in private practice, there wouldn't be nearly as many underserved areas as there are now. This is not something that HMO's created and they cannot be ex­ pected to solve the problem alone. Or. Gicewicz makes the general statement that "HMO's have not been able to adequately control cost." I can tell you that the Health Care Plan has reduced hospitalization costs by more than 50% in the Western ew York area when compared to a comparable group of patients subscribing to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Western ew York. Our out­ patient savings are not as impressive, but you must understand that our benefits are much more comprehensive, i.e., Well Baby Care, Immunizations, Routine Physicals, utritionist Services, etc. Dr. Gicewicz goes on to say that he "hopes that HMO doctors would come up with a solution to smoking, drinking and harmful drugs." Again this is problem of society and not just HMO's. We do, however, off er our patients programs for quiting smoking, therapy for alcohol and drug addiction and alcohol detoxification. HMO's in reality, do not prevent any more disease than the private sector of medicine because most diseases are not preventable. We off er a yearly comprehensive physical as a benefit, but this again does not prevent dis­ ease which couldn't be otherwise detected with a few lab tests and a blood pressure check. If you analyze it, maybe the $200.00 "executive physical" yearly is the real ripoff since most of the diseases picked up would be found with much less effort and cost. SUMMER, 1960 Or. Gicewicz also editorializes that "HMO's are not a good alternative to the private care of medicine; there is less humanization." This is strictly his opinion, and I would invite him to visit our facility and witness for himself what really goes on there. He would be shocked at how well the patients accept the care, and how "Humanization" is achieved. I would like to end with a brief editorial of my own. Since the opening in September of 1978 of the Health Care Plan, a small group of vocal physicians have constantly criticized and have exploited any mistakes we have made, and we have made some just as every physician group has. However, there is a larger group of professionals that do not criticize and exploit our mistakes. This latter group of physicians, I believe do not feel threatened by us, do not feel that we will take any significant number of loyal and hap­ py patients from them. I also feel that the criticizm is erupting from insecure physicians who fear HM O's and the "Feds" are going to take over medicine. I have never seen a Federal official in our facility, nor has anyone ever dictated to me how I should practice medicine at the Health Care Plan. Is our professional community so conservative that any new approach should be viewed with skepticism and criticized unjustly? Does it always boil down to monetary incentives or "what's it worth to do it" to make some physicians perform? I truly hope not. Is it necessary for the Gicewicz supporters to threaten our consultants with refusals to ref er patients to them if they do work for us? Am I viewing the actions of respons~ble professionals or emotionally irresponsible children? HMO's including the Health Care Plan are alternative private options for patients. We do not expec~ or e~en hope to care for a majority of patients m any com­ munity, but we not expect or ~cceP,t _blindly an unsupported criticism for bemg d1fferent and new.''

The Steering Committee and Task Force have now met several times, and five review committees are busily engaged in studying the strengths and weaknesses of the school's 23 active academic departments. The substance of their findings and reports, together with all of the available data dealing with the centralized functions of the medical school, will be brought before the Steering Committee and the Task Force for careful scrutiny and study. It is already evident that a large number of significant recommendations will be forthcoming later in the spring which should improve the quality of the overall educational environment and student performances. Thus, although a great deal remains to be accomplished in preparation for the accreditation visit, it appears as if the faculty, student body, and administration are moving forward in a unified manner toward the accomplishment of our stated goals and objectives. I admonish each of you, once again, to inform either my office or those of appropriate program directors, of concerns and advice that you might wish to offer toward the betterment of your medical school. r �Volume 14, Number 1 Spring1980 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN (USPS 551-860) Published by the School of Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo EDITORIAL BOARD IN THIS ISSUE Dean Naughton's Message (inside front cover) Editor ROBERTS.

Dr. Harry Metcalf said, "your average age is 22.6; 42 of you are women; 93 are men; 57 are from Western New York; 66 from downstate; 10 from upstate; and two from out of state; 22 are minorities. You were tops in your high school and college classes." 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Orientation speake rs : Drs. Lippschutz, Schimpfhauser, Richert, Naughton, Me tcalf, William s, Ka tz, Markell o. Dr. Leonard Katz told the 1983 class that they would be introduced to their clinical preceptor and a patient before classes began. The associate dean for student and curricular affairs urged the students to learn, work and socialize together and cooperate with others. Mr. Rudolph Williams, assistant dean and financial aid officer, said "I am here to help you, but that there was very little scholarship and loan money available." Dr. Frank Schimpfhauser, who heads the office of educational evaluation and research, told how his office works with students and faculty to improve teaching and learning. Dr. Ross Markello, assistant dean for graduate education, noted that events of the outside world are important. He suggested that the students read outside publications such as Science and The New England Journal of Medicine. "Your Buffalo experience may be the high point of your life. Get to know each other." There was a 4:30 p.m. picnic at the end of the first day with faculty and upper class students, plus tours, picture taking and briefings. Three second year students - Douglas Pleskow, Robert Chirlin and Stephen Pollack- played a prominent role during the three days of orientation. The new students also met many of their first semester professors. Dr. Martin E. Plaut, associate professor of medicine, told the students that their education is just beginning. "You must continue your reading forever and ever." The final day of orientation featured a clinical case presentation by clinical and basic science faculty, luncheon with preceptors and administrators and a hospital visit with the preceptors. The students heard patient X, a 15-year-old Olean, N.Y. boy, who had received a kidney transplant from his mother when he was seven years old. He told them he was in good health, had grown 17 inches and gained 80 pounds since his transplant. The mother felt no ill effects. "My son is a normal teen age kid. He works on the farm. The only thing he can't participate in is contact sports." d- SPRING, 1980 5 �Dr. Judith VanLiew The students asked questions of the teen-ager, his mother and Dr. Sidney Anthone, who performed the surgery. The professor of medicine touched briefly on the several surgical procedures. Dr. Anthone also mentioned that the patient underwent peritoneal dialysis and later bilateral nephrectomy in preparation for renal transplantation. Dr. Anthone also explained the techniques and history of dialysis and renal transplants. Patients over 60 years old are kept on dialysis, and no surgery is performed. He talked about the matching of kidneys from parents, siblings and cadavers; and the patient's post operative treatment with immunosuppressive drugs Solu medrol (Methylprednisolone). Medrol (Prednisolane) and Imuran (azathioprine). "There are 60 patients in Buffalo waiting for kidneys. Fourteen of our patients have been transplanted twice," Dr. Anthone said. Dr. Barry S. Eckert, assistant professor of anatomy, showed slides of the kidney and how it functions in his basic anatomy presentation. Dr. Judith Van Liew, associate professor of physiology, showed how the kidney regulates body water and responds to water excess and water deficit. Dr. John Wright, professor and chairman of pathology, mentioned three rejection reactions to kidney transplants hyperacute, acute and chronic. He explained the protection that the immune system provides and its rejection of foreign substances. Dr. Jerome Roth, assistant professor of pharmacology and therapeutics, told the students that without drugs for post operative treatment there would be no successful kidney transplants. He discussed briefly the structure of Medrol and Imuran and how they worked on the system. Dr. Roth also talked about the side effects of drugs. Dr. Wright moderated the panel discussion on non-biologic issues that followed. Ms. Shirley Kloner of the Buffalo General Hospital's social service department was on the panel with John DeBerry, a fourth year medical student; Dr. Norman Solkoff, professor of psychiatry, and Dr. Anthone. Th e clinical case pan el : Korn er, DeBerry, Drs. Solko ff, Anthone. 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Ms. Kloner talked about the stress and adjustment that a family experiences in such a surgical procedure. Most people have fears about medicine, the change in life-style , the future, and about death, while others can't cope with being well and want to return to the hospital. Others have serious economic problems. A medical student in a hospital setting has the responsibility to find the ethical and moral issues of a patient's problem, according to Mr. DeBerry. "You are part of the health team and may spend more time with the patient than others on the team. Often students can ask questions of patients that others can't." Robert Chirlin, head of the student orientation committee. SPRING, 1980 d- 7 �Clockwise from left: Drs. Clayton Peimer, John Wright, Robert Seller and Thomas Flanagan, Sidney Anthone, Donald Copley, Judith VanLiew and James Nunn. Dr. Solkoff noted that most of the follow-up research has been done on patients who have had successful kidney transplants. What is the feeling when the transplant is not successful? He suggested that there might be family and physician pressure on potential donors. "Can you have informed consent from a donor under pressure," he asked. In conclusion Dr. Anthone said, "a patient's quality of life is better with a kidney transplant, than on dialysis. Should the new kidney fail the patient can probably have another transplant. At the Friday luncheon for preceptors and students, Dr. Leonard Katz congratulated the students and faculty for their cooperation during the orientation. "It ran very smoothly and we are looJing forward to many good experiences with you during the next four years." Dr. Katz introduced Dr. Stephen Barron, clinical assistant professor of neurology, who is in charge of the preceptorship program for new students. Following the luncheon the students were introduced to clinical medicine by the preceptors in the several teaching hospitals. 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The 40 physician preceptors and the 10 departments represented are: Anesthesiology- Julie Cullen, Michael Madden; Family Medicine - Robert Corretore, Peter Goergen, Fred Hirsh, James Nunn, Larry Plumb, Robert Seller; Gynecology/Obstetrics -Stanford Copley, Rosendo Intengan, Robert Patterson, Emerson Reid, Russel Van Coevering, Murray Yost; Medicine - Israel Alvarez, Donald Copley, Robert Kohn, Donald Miller, Leonard Pallor, Charles Knupp, Laszlo Szimonisz, Ira Targoff; Neurology - Ellen Dickinson, Stephen Barron; Orthopedics - Clayton Peimer; Otolaryngology- Irwin Ginsberg, Sanford Hoffman, Joel Bernstein; Pediatrics- Robert Ehrenreich, Morris Fine, Robert J.

The special program will be directed to medical students, residents, fellows and members of the faculty, according to Dr. Leonard A. Katz, associate dean and principal investigator. The associate directors are Drs. John Wright, professor and chairman of pathology; Edward Henderson, research professor of medicine at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute and Frank Schimpfhauser, assistant dean for development and evaluation and assistant professor of social and preventive medicine. The project will involve the departments of medicine, pediatrics, pathology, radiation therapy, surgery, and head and neck surgery. The cancer education committee of the Medical School will also play an active role in the program, along with the teaching hospitals. Dr. Katz outlined five major goals of the programdevelop a Buffalo Cancer Syllabus to be used by all students, residents and fellows . It will cover the basic and clinical sciences and problem solving; there will be a new selected seminar type course for first year students; students will be able to pursue their individual interests in depth; there will be stipends for clinical assistantships for summer work in research and the clinical areas; there will be stipends for clinical associates for advanced resident trainees who will work as teachers and fellows in the several diciplines; there will be (one-day) monthly city-wide multi-diciplinary conferences. Dr. Katz noted that the syllabus will build upon information presented in regular courses in the Medical School and will expand this information to include clinical cases and resource material. It will be more of a study guide (not a text book) that will reflect the students' education in Buffalo. The syllabus will pull all available material together. Assistant project directors are Drs. Stephen Noyes, clinical instructor in medicine; Monica Spaulding, assistant professor of medicine; James M. Hassett, assistant professor of surgery; James R. Humbert, associate professor of pediatrics/microbiology; Richard Johnson, clinical associate professor of radiology; H .M. Dayem, clinical associate professor of radiology/nuclear medicine; John Lore, professor and chairman of otolaryngology, and F.J. Gaeta, associate professor of pathology.

Siwiec, American Lung Association of WNY Writer Dr. Reisman and Felix Solo. 0 0 ..c a. In an effort to reduce morbidity associated with asthma, a positive health care program for asthmatics and their parents, the Family Asthma Program, was initiated in 1976 by the American Lung Association of Western New York and medical personnel at Buffalo's Children's Hospital. Spearheaded by Elliot F. Ellis, M.D., professor and chairman of Children's Hospital department of pediatrics in conjunction with the American Lung Association, the program is currently headed by pediatrics professor Gerd J.A. Cropp, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Children's Lung Center, Children's Hospital, Joan Trump, M.S.W., and Cathy Conboy, R.N., P.N.A., nurse coordinator of pediatric allergy worked actively with Dr. Ellis in the initial program. Presently, working with Dr. Cropp is a dedicated group of professionals and volunteers consisting of a nurse specialist, a social scientist, a psychologist, and two physical education specialists. The Family Asthma Program provides complementary care to the patient's medical treatment. It provides no medical treatment, nor does it serve as a substitute for medical care. Participants are enrolled in the program upon referral of their physician or as a result of self-referrals. Why such a concerted effort in the field of asthma? "It has become evident in the past few years that lung diseases in children constitute a major health problem in this country and should be assigned a high priority," states Dr. Cropp. For this reason, an ad hoc committee on pediatric lung disease of the Lung Association decided to concentrate its activities on this health problem. Thus the Family Asthma Program was begun. The Family Asthma Program has sought to educate parents while working with 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �their asthmatic children. These children are taught better management of their asthma by exploring their physical capabilities and limitations. The goal of the Family Asthma Program is to reduce morbidity associated with asthma through patient education. Major objectives include greater knowledge by both the parent and child, increased physical buildup as well as improved self-image of the child, and evaluation of the program impact. The collection of data compiled throughout this program will also help the medical community to further understand the problems associated with asthma and the effectiveness of programs of this type. The family's involvement with the program begins with an interview and pre-testing which is conducted by Michele Alexander, Ph.D., research instructor/department of pediatrics. During the programs, asthmatics and parents meet in a group setting once a week for six weeks. While the parents meet in a classroom, the children, aged 12 and under, get together in a gym. During the first group session, action toward the first objective, increased knowledge, is begun immediately through education and counseling. Among the questions asked by parents are: What triggers an asthma attack? How active can their child be? How can their family better cope with the situation? How much will their child be able to participate in sports?- and so on. It is during these sessions that Dr. Cropp discusses the medical aspects of asthma. Robert Ehrenreich, M.D., clinical assistant professor of pediatrics, deals with parent effectiveness training and Robert Reisman, M.D., clinical professor of medicine/pediatrics, discusses asthma as viewed by an allergist. In addition, during the six weeks, Gary Graber, Ph.D., research assistant instructor in pediatrics, explains relaxation techniques and Dr. Alexander discusses behavior modification and self-management. The children have their own questions: Can I control my asthma attacks? Can I play football with the other kids? How can I get better? This program provides a forum in which these questions and problems can be discussed. As families share their experiences and acquire information from the staff and each other, there is a better understanding of the nature of asthma. A lessening of tension generated within the family results from the increased understanding. The second objective is the asthmatics' self-management. The goal is to help the child to greater independence and thus increase his self-esteem. For the children's portion, each of the twohour sessions is divided into four parts. The first is informational, followed by physical activities that begin on a moderate level and become more strenuous as the six weeks progress. Relaxation therapy comprises the third part of each session. The evening ends with swimming which is enjoyed tremendously by the children. dSPRING, 1980 13 �The psychosocial aspects which form the next step in the program are incorporated into the activities and relaxation therapy. As the child applies his newly learned techniques between sessions, he is better able to control his anxiety and fear. The use of relaxation methods thereby increases his positive selfimage. The final objective, evaluation of program impact, begins with the recording and evaluation of possible financial cost reduction in the treatment of asthma. A detailed form is filled covering all asthma related expenses for the previous year and is compared to the same form filled for the year following participation in the program. Peak flow measurement. Beverly Reczek and Nick Pappas. The end of a session, swimming for everyone. After the completion of the six-week program, each family is followed for one year. Documentation of each case from the time of pre-testing through the twelve-month follow-up period is vital. Responsibility for this aspect of the project has been undertaken by Dr. Alexander. This is the first Family Asthma Program which has utilized an extensive objective evaluation with long term follow-up. Dr. Cropp and his staff feel that the program has two focal points: 1. To help the asthmatic and his family and, 2. To collect statistical data that will provide needed knowledge for the medical community. Another aspect of this project is the dissemination of new information and advances in the field of asthma therapy to not only the medical community, but the public at large. To date, the Family Asthma Program has experienced considerable positive feedback from those previously enrolled in the program. As families call and are fitted into programs based on age, they begin recording their daily health experiences in diaries. It should be emphasized that the Family Asthma Program is an informational service providing complementary care to the patient's medical treatment. The program provides no medical treatment and should not be considered a substitute. It endeavors to provide techniques and information needed for an asthmatic and his family to act together in responsible care and management. Through the combined efforts of the Lung Association, which funded this program, and the dedicated family asthma team, the Family Asthma Program has become a reality with very positive results. Community organizations such as Canisius College, West Seneca Development Center, and State University College at Buffalo have also made an important contribution by donating facilities for the program's special needs. Information can be obtained by contacting Dr. Alexander at 885-7975 or the American Lung Association at 886-4655.0 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The Clinical Years The clinical years will give you an opportunity to know and follow your patients. This is just one thing that 157 third year students learned at the 2nd annual one-day orientation. The medical students started their clinical rotations the next day at the teaching hospitals. Four senior medical students - John Mageli, Myra Rosenstein, Coral Surgeon, and Anthony Unger - outlined briefly some of their experiences. They all agreed that "it was different than basic science classes, and they enjoyed every minute." Nine faculty members spoke about their respective disciplines. They were: Drs. Evan Calkins, professor of medicine; Joseph T. Aquilina, M'41, clinical professor of medicine; Paul Davis, professor of medicine; EllenS. Dickinson, clinical assistant professor of neurology; Marvin Herz, professor and chairman of psychiatry; S.K. Park, clinical associate professor of psychiatry; Erika Bruck, professor of pediatrics-emeritus; Linda Pessar, clinical assistant professor of psychiatry; and N.A. Mudaliar, assistant professor gyn/ob. Dr. Calkins told the students "to use their good common sense and put patient needs first. Grooming and appearance is important and part of being a professional." Dr. Davis suggested that they read, collect and assimilate vital information from medical journals. But he warned the students not to talk too much, "because often we think we know more than we do." In the morning session there were two audio-visual presentations - "Please Let Me Die," and "Who Should Survive" were shown and discussed. The first featured a 27-year-old man who was severely burned and had lost his eye sight. The second featured a new born baby with Down's Syndrome (mongolism). Drs. David M. Klein, associate professor of neurosurgery, and Marjorie M. Plumb, associate professor of psychology in the department of psychiatry, led the discussion. "This is an example of the clinical problems that you folks will face daily. You must know your own feelings and the feelings of your patients," Dr. Klein said. Dr. Plum discussed the legal and psychological questions: Who should decide and when should the decision be made regarding death? Are proxy decisions better than direct decisions? Other faculty members who led small group discussions were: Drs. Norman Chassin, clinical associate professor of medicine; Norman Solkoff, professor of psychology in the department of psychiatry; Martin Wingate, professor of gyn/ob; Leonard Katz, professor of medicine; and John Rickert, clinical assistant professor of social and preventive medicine. Dr. Philip D. Morey, clinical assistant professor of medicine, explained the evaluation forms and Dr. M. Luther Musselman, clinical professor of medicine and assistant dean, discussed the health insurance plan.O SPRING, 1980 15 Drs.

Thirty incoming medical/dental students got a head start in their education by completing histology/embryology during the summer. This was the fifth year for this special preparatory support program for credit. During the afternoon (June 11-August 3) the students took special courses in anatomy, biochemistry, biophysics and skills development. The professors involved were: Drs. E. Russell Hayes, Michael Meenaghan, Chester Glomski, Joseph Tomasulo and Ms. Audrey Vaughan. Eleven medical students enrolled in the 9-week accelerated program so they could graduate in three years. They each received 12 hours of credit. Dr. Jerry Roth directed the program in pharmacology and therapeutics and Dr. Arlene Collins was in charge of microbiology. Each student spends approximately 15 hours daily reading, listening to taped lectures, in labs or doing other types of self-study. Other professors involved in the accelerated program were: Drs. John Wright, Elliott Middleton and Alexander Brownie. Other summer programs that attracted students were: clinical cancer, American Cancer Society, medical education and community orientation, rehabilitation medicine, Howard Gioia Cystic Fibrosis Scholarship, psychiatry, externships at the VA Medical Center and Deaconess Hospital, family medicine, alcohol and substance abuse, environmental and occupational health, nutrition education, geriatric education, summer fellowships, Cotrans, accelerated and several special programs.D An informal lab dis cussion.

Dr. Musselman, a 1937 Medical School graduate, has been on the faculty since 1947. He took his internship and residency at the Buffalo General Hospital. During World War II he was a Major in the United States Army. From 1942 to 1946 he served in North Africa, Europe, Japan and the Philippines. Dr. Musselman has been an active participant in various drug education programs at the local, national and international levels. He has also served on many university committees and at one time headed the Medical School's Admissions Committee. Dr. Muss elman Dr. Milgram was born in Poland and received his M.D. in 1947 from the University of Wroclaw. He joined the U/B faculty in 1958. In May, 1976 he received an Honorary Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Vienna. This honor culminates 30 years as a creative scientist and educator. On graduation from the University of Wroclaw, the Polish-born physician joined its department of microbiology. It was then chaired by the noted bacteriologist/immunologist, Dr. Ludwig Hirszfeld. Under the European system however an M.D. degree is not automatically awarded on completion of medical school. Rather, one must go through at least two years of research and additional examinations. On the basis of his thesis on developing a mass examination for syphilis, Dr. Milgram was granted an M.D. degree. 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN .. �In 1951, a second degree, that of privat dozent which is equivalent to an American Ph.D. degree, was awarded to Dr. Milgram. He then proceeded through all of the steps in an academic career. In 1954, at the age of 34, starting as professor of microbiology, he was active in research, teaching, and editorial work. With Professor Hirszfeld and some of his associates, Dr. Milgram created the Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy at the Polish Academy of Science in Wroclaw in 1954. After Hirszfeld's death that year, Dr. Milgram became acting microbiology chairman as well as acting director of the Institute. Over the next three years (from 1954 to 1957) he was professor and chairman of the department of microbiology at the Silesia School of Medicine in Zabrze-Rikitnica, Poland where he was instrumental in establishing a well-known group of young immunologists. After leaving Poland in 1957 and before arriving in this country, he was visiting scientist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris where he worked with Professor Pierre Grabar, noted for his pioneering work in immunofluorescence. While his research activities are mainly in the field of tissue and tumor immunology, blood group, transplantation, there have also been important studies on natural antibodies as well as on the serodiagnosis of syphilis, rheumatoid arthritis and infection mononucleosis. He is also well known for his studies on tissue specificity. These have led to the discovery of a new category of tissue-specific antigens. And he has elucidated the nature of rheumatoid factor, and an antibody associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Together with Drs. Kyoichi Kano, David Hume, and Mel Williams, Dr. Milgram discovered a form of renal graft rejection which is mediated by humoral antibodies. Author of over 300 scientific publications, his scientific achievements rank him among the leading immunologists in the field. Dr. Milgram Dr.Rennick has been on the Medical School faculty since 1965. She received her bachelor's and master's degrees from Wayne University in Detroit in 1942 and 1944, respectively. She received her M.D. from the University of Michigan in 1950. Before coming to Buffalo she was at Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse, Mount Holyoke College, and the University of Cincinnati. In 1974-75 she was the acting chairman of the department of pharmacology and therapeutics. She has served on numerous committees and is active in several professional organizations. .. ...

Dr. Joseph E. Sokal, research professor of medicine, who retired earlier this year after serving for 24 years as chief of Roswell Park Memorial Institute's Medicine B Department, received the 1979 William H. Wehr Award for outstanding work in the fight against cancer. Dr. Sokal joined Roswell Park in 1955. Active as both a researcher and clinician, he made many contributions in the field of carbohydrate metabolism and endocrinology. He was among the first to apply immunotherapy in cancer treatment. Most significant was his work with immune stimulating agents such as BCG, a tuberculin vaccine, which improved survival rates for leukemia patients. A native of Poland, Dr. Sokal grew up in New York City and is a graduate of Columbia University and the Yale University Medical School in 1940. At Yale he was a Markle Scholar in medical science and held a Medical Research Fellowship awarded by the Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund. During World War II, he served in the Pacific Theater of Operations and was among the first U.S. Occupation Forces to enter Japan. Holder of several combat decorations, he was recalled to active duty in the Korean War, serving mainly as a division surgeon in the United States and Germany. Currently associated with Duke University, Dr. Sokal remains on the Roswell Park staff as a consultant. Dr. Wehr, who was acting director of Roswell Park during World War II, retired in 1968. He was a pioneer in the use of radium for cancer treatment and instrumental in developing Roswell Park's medical educational program.O Dr. Sakal Dr. Eugene L. Beltrami, M'54, has been appointed medical director for Blue Cross of Western New York, Inc. He will have reponsibilities for determining medical policy in claims review and will work closely with hospital utilization review committees fn helping to bring about better utilization of hospital beds and more efficient use of auxiliary services, such as laboratory tests, etc. He will work cooperatively with medical staffs of hospitals in the more timely review of problems relating to hospital claims and also act as liaison between Blue Cross Plan and the hospital's medical staffs. Jointly, through improved utilization review they will be working toward the assurance of quality health care in all participating hospitals in the eight counties of Western New York. A native of Buffalo, New York, Dr. Beltrami did his internship and residency at Deaconess Hospital of Buffalo. He will continue to conduct a private practice in Snyder, New York. He serves on the medical staffs of St. Joseph's Intercommunity Hospital in Cheektowaga, New York and Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital in Williamsville, New York. He also is a clinical assistant professor at the Medical School.

They are entering U/B via the United States Citizen Foreign Medical Students (USCFMS) pre-clinical review program of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Under this program American students, who have completed their basic science education in foreign medical schools and passed Part I of the National Boards, are accepted into the clinical years in American Medical Schools. The junior year for these transfer students started July 9, and lasted 10 weeks with orientation and intensives lectures and some clinical experiences. Since 1969 the Medical School has participated in a similar program called COTRANS, but external resources were not available to support this program. In December of 1977 the Medical School received a four-year $226,904 grant from HEW to establish the current program (USCFMS). The project director is Dr. John Richert, assistant dean and registrar.

The Harvard program will be conducted on the Union Carbide Body Function Imager, and the one at Buffalo will use the Union Carbide Brain Imager. Coordinator of the Harvard studies is B. Leonard Holman, M.D. Dr. Monte Blau, professor and chairman of nuclear medicine, is in charge of the study at Buffalo. Participating Harvard hospitals are New England Deaconess; Peter Bent Brigham; Children's Hospital Medical Center; and Charles A. Dana Cancer Hospital. The Buffalo program will be conducted at SUNY/Buffalo School of Medicine and Buffalo Veterans Administration Medical Center. The objectives of the Harvard Medical School research are multiple. In the area of cardiology, the studies will aim to develop and apply single photon emission computed tomography (ECAT) to two clinical problems: determining the extent of damage and remaining viable myocardium after myocardial infarction; and quantifying regional myocardial blood flow in patients with coronary artery disease. Specifically, the studies will determine (a) the accuracy with which myocardial perfusion defects can be sized using thallium201, (b) the feasibility of measuring myocardial blood flow with single photon radiopharmaceuticals, and (c) the accuracy with which acute myocardial infarction can be sized with technetium99m pyrophosphate. Initially these correlations will be made in animal studies and then in clinical trials. Single-photon ECAT is expected to provide more accurate detection and estimation of the extent of tissue damage than are currently offered by standard two-dimensional nuclear imaging techniques. From this assessment, more precise prognosis as well as suitable medical and surgical management should be possible. At the same time, the clinical and laboratory experiments will evaluate the resolution, sensitivity and quantitative ability of the Union Carbide instrument with various radiopharmaceuticals. This work will include assessing the suitability and accuracy of attenuation coefficient algorithms. The feasibility of using single-photon ECAT to identify ischemia and myocardial damage and to quantify regional myocardial blood flow will be assessed in animal studies of coronary disease. In humans, the technique will be evaluated for relative accuracy in the detection and quantification of infarcts and ischemia, and the quantification of perfusion defects will be related to patient management and disease outcome. Other Harvard studies will be conducted on cancer patients in collaboration with William Kaplan, M.D., of the Charles A. Dana Cancer Hospital. Researchers will attempt to find the precise location of specific lymph nodes in three dimensions. Comparisons with standard Anger camera lymph node images, superimposed bone images and radiographies, will be made for accuracy of localization. 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN ·- �Med classes are now 25% women They will also explore the potential for defining sites of intrahepatic neoplasia by using iodinated anti-CEA injected through an hepatic artery catheter. An attempt will be made to quantitate the uptake of radioantibody on a per/gram of tumor tissue basis. Tumor blood flow studies will also be conducted to produce a numerical record of activity per/gram of tumor, both before and after chemotherapy. Three dimensional information on blood flow to an intracerebral lesion will also be developed. ., THE BUFFALO STUDY One of the most exciting areas of present-day nuclear medicine involves the development of materials for visualizing brain metabolism. Because such work until now has required the use of positron isotopes, it has been limited to only a handful of research centers around the world. Using a new principal for radio pharmaceutical localization, the Buffalo study aims to greatly extend the range and availability of isotopes for the study of brain metabolism. Such brain metabolism studies should be useful in understanding brain diseases such as stroke, seizure disorders, senile dementias and brain damage from drugs - all cases where there may be regional changes in brain blood flow or brain tissue metabolism. The Buffalo study will use single-line emitters rather than positron isotopes. Some of the greatest promise lies with a group of chemicals classified as "pH shift" brain function agents. These agents are neutral and lipid-soluble at blood pH, and are therefore able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Once inside, where the pH is lower, they pick up a hydrogen ion and change it to a water-soluble form. In this state, the molecules cannot recross the blood-brain barrier, and they remain in the brain long enough to be recorded by the Union Carbide Brain Imager. Areas of high acidity in other tissues- such as ischemic heart muscle or tumors - may also be visualized with agents of this type. Under the supervision of Dr. Blau, two parallel programs of study will be conducted at SUNY/Buffalo School of Medicine and the Veterans Administration Hospital in Buffalo. Following a series of toxicity studies, clinical programs with volunteers and patients will be undertaken. Animal studies of the brain, heart and tumors will be conducted on the Union Carbide Brain Imager during the same period. The combined programs are expected to produce results in radiochemical research and clinical medicine. Clinical studies will be under the direction of Dr. Jehuda J. Steinbach, Chief of Nuclear Medicine, Buffalo Veterans Administration Medical Center. The design of the radiopharmaceuticals will be by Dr. Hank Kung, assistant professor of nuclear medicine. Dr. Steinbach is research assistant professor of medicine and clinical assistant professor of nuclear medicine.O SPRING, 1980 25 More and more of your future colleagues will be women, as the number and percentage of female medical students continue to rise. Total medical-school enrollment has grown from 53,554 in the 1974-1975 academic year to a current level of 63,800, says Dr. John A.D. Copper, president of the Association of American Medical Colleges. In the earlier year, 9,661 were women - 18 % of the total; in the present one, they number 16,141, or 25.3 % . The increase in the distaff rolls has been steady and appears likely to continue. In the 1974-1975 year, the firstyear class of 14,763 included 3,275 women (22.2 o/o). This year's first-year class numbers 16,930, of whom 4,713- 27.8 o/o - are women. Minorities have gained less ground, however. In 19741975, 12.7o/o of the U.S. citizens enrolled in medical school were black, Amerindian, Hispanic, Oriental, or "other"; 14o/o of the current student body is so classified. �~ . --- - - Clockwise from lower left: Dr. and Mrs. Carter PannilJ, Dr. Robert Brown, M'44, Dean John Naughton; Ida Campagna, Elise Riley, Alice Karpik; faculty-alumni visit; Michael Luke and friend; Dr. Edward Carr; John Canty (right) and friends. t Some 225 students, faculty, alumni and their spouses enjoyed themselves at the sixth annual cocktail-reception for seniors at the Frank Lloyd Wright House (alumni association headquarters) on Jewitt Parkway.

THERE ARE A HANDFUL OF SURGEONS whose procedures lie plainly in the realm of science fiction. Among the handful is Dr. Patrick Kelly, M'66. The Attending at the Erie County Medical Center is a stereotactic surgeon. Unlike traditional brain surgery where the skull is opened to view the brain, he uses X-ray films to gain three-dimensional control over a needle-size probe directed through a very small hole in the skull to points deep within the brain. With this information, he is able to produce lesions to treat movement disorders, to treat chronic pain by placing stimulating electrodes or to diagnose and treat inoperable, deep-seated intracranial tumors. Newly arrived from Galveston, Texas where he established a center for his refinement of the 20-year old technique, Dr. Kelly is excited about the possibility of making Buffalo a regional center for stereotactic neurosurgery. For he sees it offering hope to patients whose medical conditions are inoperable by conventional neurosurgical procedures. Dr. Kelly is a clinical associate professor of neurosurgery. He completed a neurosurgery residency at Northwestern University and served on the faculty of the University of Galveston, Texas before coming to Buffalo. How his refinement of the stereotactic procedure works is as follows: The patient, placed under local anesthesia, is conscious at all times, the head held in place by the four pins of the stereotactic apparatus. Then, by using microelectrode-recording techniques studied in Paris and Edinburgh, Scotland under a prestigious Dr. William Van Wagenen Fellowship, Dr. Kelly is able to record brain cell activity. In this way, he achieves unprecedented accuracy in placing the stereotactic apparatus and in guiding the probe in cellular activity. Not only does he view the activity on an oscilloscope but hears it over a loudspeaker in the operating room. The sound, he says, is much like static from a radio, with different parts of the brain producing different sounds. So logical, he adds, is the structure of the brain that specific regions of its sensory thalamus ventralis posterior correspond to parts of the body. And, as he taps a part of the body such as the finger tips, cellular activity in its matching part of the brain is enhanced. By using this topographic information, he then calculates lesion site with pinpoint precision to treat a variety of movement disorders. And, by producing a lesion by heating the end of the probe with radio-frequency current, he is able to stop tremor from Parkinson's Disease and intention tremor due to multiple sclerosis. 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Although quick to note the lesion does not cure Parkinson's, a chronic, progressive and debilitating disease, he points to the creation of plateaus in the functional levels of the patient, and the improvement of the quality of life. Why stereotactic surgery fell out of favor in the sixties, he says, was due to its sometimes devastating side effects when the lesion was not placed with pinpoint accuracy. "As there is variation among persons, there is variation in the brain," he says. With the introduction of L-Dopa in 1968, it became the treatment of choice. Subsequent studies, however, point to a three-to five-year drug effectiveness. That is why Dr. Kelly opts for the stereotactic procedure to stop the tremor, then treatment of the patient with L-Dopa and other anti-Parkinson drugs by a neurologist for the end-stage symptoms of the disease. Another area in which he is finding the stereotactic technique to be gaining effectiveness is in treatment of selected patients with chronic pain. In the two percent he treats, he places an electrode permanently into a specific site in the brain. It is then connected to a receiving coil implanted under the collarbone of the patient. An antenna may then be placed over the skin, and a current that stimulates the brain electrode will block pain for up to 12 hours. But it is in the area of tumors deep within the substance of the brain that Dr. Kelly is most excited. "It is the future of stereotactic procedure," he says. Here, he combined the modern techniques of C-T scanning with stereo-reconstruction. He points to two major treatment approaches for these patients. One is by interstitial irradiation. By relying on threedimension reconstruction of the tumor in stereotactic space, the surgeon is able to place a logical array of radioactive sources in and around the tumor. "While a radiation field lethal to the tumor is created, it is relatively harmless to the surrounding brain. Then, after the desired dosage of radiation is delivered," he said, "the radioactive sources are removed. " The other approach combines laser technology with the stereotactic method to vaporize tissue and thus destroy tumors deep within the brain. For the first time ever, Dr. Kelly used the carbon dioxide laser to vaporize a deep-seated tumor. How he did it was to make a small incision in the frontal area. Then, as he began to vaporize the tumor by laser, avoiding significant n euronal structures, he monitored the size of the gasfilled cavity produced by the laser with X-ray films until the size of the cavity exactly matched the shape of the tumor defined three-dimensionally by preoperative C-T scanning. He noted the patient recovered from anesthesia with no mental or neurological deficit. And four days after surgery, the patient's C-T scan showed total r emoval of the tumor, with no evidence of residual tumor. With these excellent results, he sees hope for other patients whose deep-seated intracranial tumors are inoperable by existing neurosurgical methods.D SPRING, 1980 29 A typical recording trajecto ry through sensory thalamus.

To Dr. Alexander C. Brownie: In order to develop a sound working knowledge of the clinical sciences, one must have a strong foundation in the basic medical sciences. It is unrealized by the first year medical student that there is no separation between the basic and clinical years. Rather, it is a continuum of learning. As physicians, we are always striving to gain a better understanding of disease processes. In so doing, we will refer to biochemistry time and time again. At these times, we will be grateful for the excellent background provided by the Chairman and Director of the Biochemistry Program, Dr. Alexander C. Brownie. Dr. Brownie puts a priority on teaching with other things being secondary. His interest in teaching dates back nearly thirty years. At his lectures, one can see his enthusiasm and realize the energy that went into the preparation of the material. Those who know this man, also know of his other contributions to the students and the medical school. Since coming to Buffalo sixteen years ago, he has conducted research in both the pathology and biochemistry departments. He has contributed to our understanding of the pathogenesis of hypertension and the mechanism of action of various steroids. As chairman of the medical school curriculum committee, he strived for an integrated teaching program to make the move from the classroom to the wards a smooth transition. In 1977, he was appointed Chairman of Biochemistry. Under his direction the department has grown to nearly 20 full-time faculty members. Dr. Brownie has strived for excellence of the entire medical school as well as the biochemistry department. As president of the Faculty Council, he was instrumental in defining the academic standards for medical student performance. As one can well appreciate, his contributions to the medical school are numerous. The class of 1979 will remember him most for the time and patience in teaching biochemistry. Dr. Brownie has often stated that "he finds delight in teaching." In turn, we find Dr. Brownie a sincere, critical, intelligent and superb educator. With this in mind, the class of 1979 takes great pleasure in dedicating the 4th edition of the IRIS to Dr. Alexander C. Brownie. To Dr. Murray Ettinger: Dr. Murray Ettinger joined the School of Medicine Department of Biochemistry in September 1969 and began teaching medical students a year later. Over the years, he has come to assume the major share ,of teaching responsibility in biochemistry with Dr. Brownie, and in 1974 was promoted to Associate Professor in the School of Medicine. His research has been concerned with metalloenzyme spectral properties, metal metabolism and diseases, and antidiuretic hormone. 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Ettinger summarizes his experiences as a professor with the assertion that "teaching is an art form," and that "teaching medical students is one of the most stimulating interactions" within the art. To the first-year students, Dr. Ettinger is wellknown as a professor who believes that lectures ought to be friendly interactions where students' educations should be a selfdirected process. Over the years it has become obvious that in the area of curriculum development, his sympathies have always been with the students, and he personally has been instrumental in implementing more innovations. Dr. Ettinger's sensitivity to student affairs on curriculum matters came to a focus several years ago concerning minority students and those in academic poor-standing in the first year. Believing that faculty policies on this subject were becoming harsh, Dr. Ettinger helped formulate and eventually head the Student Affairs and Academic Standing Committee. Grown from this interest in why people generally had so much trouble with the first semester of medical school, Dr. Ettinger has made some significant contributions in programs for minority students and the overall medical curriculum as Chairman of the Curriculum Committee. Most recently he has been honored with the University Outstanding Faculty Award in 1978. A concrete example of Dr. Ettinger's involvement in improving the curri_culum, which grew out of the program for minority students, is the well-known and well-used Biochemistry Study Manual, developed jointly by Drs. Brownie and Ettinger. The class of 1979 recognizes the impact he has made on our education and dedicates the 4th edition of the IRIS to Dr. Murray Ettinger.D Six physicians were honored at the 8th annual U/B Orthopaedic Resident's Scientific Graduation Day in May at the Erie County Medical Center, according to Dr. Eugene R. Mindell, professor and chairman of orthopaedics. Dr. William F.

It was the fifth annual award given a faculty member by the graduating residents. Dr. Allen received a monogrammed white coat at the dinner dance at the Sheraton-East. Dr. Allen joined the U/B faculty in 1969. He came from the Johns Hopkins University Medical School where he received his degree in 1955. He received his B.A. from Harvard in 1951. He completed an Osler medical internship and residency at Johns Hopkins before joining the faculty there. He was also associated with the Public Health Service at the National Institute of Health (1959) and was associated with The Rockerfeller Institute for two years. He is the author of numerous scientific papers on immunology and infectious disease, and is active in several professional societies. Also honored at the annual party were Drs. Joan C. Fung and James J. Cirbus. Dr. Fung received the $200 Semmelweiss Award for her work, "The Use of Counter Immuno-electrophoresis in the Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases." This award was created in 1974 by Dr. D.A. Pragay, clinical associate professor of biochemistry/pathology and director of chemistry at ECMC. The award is named for Ignatius Semmelweiss, who pioneered antiseptic and aseptic methods of surgery, obstetrics and gynecology between 1840 and 1865 in Austria and Hungary. Dr. Cirbus, clinical assistant instructor in medicine, received the $100 Norman Chassin Award, given annually to the "outstanding intern of the year."

Excerpt: "The data collected in this study do not support the commonly held belief that a medical school is important in the career choices of its students. One of the most cherished ideas of the faculty has been their influence as role models on the career choices of their students. No data were found to support this. No more than 18 percent of the students feel that anyone on the faculty had influenced their choice of career." From the Flexner Report in 1910, medical education policy in the United States has presumed that the process encompassed in the four year curriculum would provide the future physician with fundamental knowledge, skills, and a value system for addressing societal expectations. Daniel Funkenstein, professor of psychiatry and a long-standing member of the admissions committee at Harvard Medical School asserts that value judgments and career choices are determined by forces in society at large and in a general way have been directed before matriculation into medical school. The author suggests skills required for medicine are hi-modally distributed, designated bioscientific and bio-social. Bio-scientific careers are characterized by advanced sophistication for intellectual ability, technical skills, and research aptitude. Most academicians and sub-specialists fall into 38 this category. Interpersonal skills and understanding of human behavior are perceived as desirable but not obligatory. The biosocial careers, on the other hand, command skills in interpersonal relationships, service orientation, and target patient satisfaction. Intellectual and scholarly interests are desirable but not obligatory. Primary care physicians - family practice, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, and psychiatry, comprise the bulk of the bio-social careers. Factors in career choice are determined both intrinsically and extrinsically. Intrinsic factors: 1. basic characteristics at matriculation, i.e., bio-scientific versus bio-social; 2. the value systems of the students; the bioscientific valuing prestige, status, and financial reward rate very highly, while bio-social students place social committment and responsibility at the top of the priority list; 3. lifestyle; amount of time for pursuits outside of the profession and anticipated income were quite important. Extrinsic factors influencing career choice include: 1. the medical school experience and; 2. societal factors - the latter being far more important. Funkenstein divides this century into six eras, five of which he has personally observed. The era to 1939 was the General Practice Era; from 1940-1958, the Specialty Era; 1959-1968, the Scientific Era; 1969-1970, the Student Activist Era; 1971-1974, the Doldrum's Era; 1975-present, The Primary Care and Increasing Government Control Era. The needs and emphasis in each era has been a function of complicated factors, but principally perceived needs and pressures from society at large. The Scientific Era was characterized by rapid growth in research and technology. Almost no one entered the field of family practice from the Northeastern medical schools in those years. We now find ourselves in an awkward dis-synchronization where senior faculty and medical school managers still think in terms of the societal factor that influenced their career choice 20 years ago, and do not understand the disinterest of students for research careers today. Societal pressure today encourages and rewards clinical practice with both money and prestige. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Funkenstein takes pains to analyse the fascination with psychiatry which peaked around 1970. During the 1960's, there was a large amount of societal pressure which gave prestige to the field and stimulated federal support for research and educational programs. In those years, primary care conferred little status, giving psychiatry an attractive outlet for the students with interpersonal and behavioral interests. Thirdly, a number of individuals were attracted to psychiatry because of the fascination with Freudian psychology. Since primary care is now a prestigious pursuit, since the vast sums spent on mental health did not eradicate the societal need and since psychoanalysis did not prove to be applicable to large numbers of people, Funkenstein is not surprised that the percentage of students choosing psychiatry went from a high of 23 percent in 1969 to four percent in 1976. The percent of biosocial students choosing family medicine rose from zero in 1966 to 88 percent in 1976. One gets a picture of the influence of societal factors when comparing class attitudes. For example, eight percent of the class of 1959 favored group practice versus 99 percent in 1976. In the class of 1963, 49 percent listed research as a most important value in medicine, versus only two percent of the class of 1976. Funkenstein also corollates demographic factors with career choice. The stereotype of the bio-scientific student is an individual with a high science grade point average, who comes from an upper middle class urban or suburban home, living in a family of professional or managerial heritage, and views the practice of medicine as a problem solving exercise whereby one helps people by using science. The bio-social student tends to have a lower science grade point average, but a higher average in the humanities, is from a rural, middle-middle class farm or factory worker home, and views the practice of medicine as a social, interpersonal, helping, caring, art form. pediatrics. Since 1970, background and career choice differences between men and women medical students have disappeared - perhaps because of the feminist movement. Funkenstein makes several important points. Medical personnel have differing values, responding to different internal and external cues which generate conflict in educational and health care policy. The best way of influencing career choice, is to carefully select students. For example, if a medical school wants a high output of primary care physicians, the admissions committee should favor students with 3.3 science grade point average, who do well in the humanities, are socially and behaviorally oriented, come from small communities or rural areas, and who are middle-middle class. We should cautiously apply these conclusions to the U.S. medical student population at large, since Harvard is a special school. The author includes a series of questionnaires which the serious student of evaluation will find useful. Society will likely always have the need for both service and research in health. The onus upon admissions committees is to manage the selection process to assure a heal thy mix of bio-scientific and bio-social students. This book will entertain the average physician for an evening with interesting information presented in engaging style. Most of us can easily identify with the eras Funkenstein describes, finding insight into the career behaviors of ourselves and our colleagues.D The author gives us some insight as to the changing career patterns of women physicians. Prior to 1970, they were primarily daughters of professional career mothers and chose primary care fields, particularly SPRING, 1980 39 �The Class of 1928 Dr. Bruno Schutkeker, M'28, is regarded as the "dean" of the Buffalo psychiatric com~unity.

He was an assistant professor of medicine at U/B from 1966 to 1975. He is now professor of internal medicine at the State University of Iowa Medical School. That event, the longest and toughest amateur bicycle race in the world, is run every five years. The first one was in 1891. No American ever had completed it until Falsetti and two fellow Americans did five years ago. (Bicyclists who fail to reach checkpoints by certain times are ejected from the race.) The trio were heroes in France. Of those three, only Falsetti returned in 1979 to try again. He slept only three hours while completing the sometimes mountainous course in 78 hours, an ample 12 hours under the maximum time allowed. Falsetti's six-foot, 175-pound body held up during the race, and he said he would have finished several hours sooner except that, unlike most of the riders, he had no support crew. He had to carry his repair gear and spare clothes on a bicycle rack. At stops, he had to fetch food and water himself. At one stop, he went to a bank for money, to a hardware store for batteries and a flashlight, to a grocery store for food, to a bar for water, and to a control point to check in. That stop took an hour. Bicycling, incidentially, is the second most popular sport in the world, behind only soccer. Amateur bicyclists in Europe serve as paid technical advisers to bicycle companies, so they can train all day. Falsetti trains mainly by running 50 to 60 miles a week and, just prior to an endurance biking race, by also riding about 100 miles a day.O Rich Rougeux, second year medical student, placed 98th in a field of 3,000 in the annual International Skylon Marathon last fall.

He notes strokes are prompted by too little or too much blood in the brain. Either condition, he said, may cause permanent damage to this vital organ. The CAT scan has revolutionized stroke diagnosis. "It provides evidence for hemorrhage, blockage or tumors/abcesses which mimic stroke symptoms," he said.

The laser allows very precise control over the location, size and depth of surgery desired. The unit rapidly removes tissue through a 100°C light beam which causes flash vaporization of tissue on contact. Because of the high temperatures involved, as well as the limited area directly affected by the beam, the laser decreases the amount of bleeding in the surgical site and promotes instant coagulation of severed blood vessels. Surrounding tissues are not disturbed as much as during conventional surgery allowing for a reduction in postoperative pain, discharge, swelling and scarring.D Dr. Lore and Loser Dr. Robert H.

Already, the administration, faculty and students have been involved in a series of meetings and "unit selfstudies" in preparation for the core task. Now, a Steering Committee composed of twenty representatives of various constituencies of the school, including alumni, and a larger Task Force, composed of approximately 80 institutional representatives will meet at frequent, periodic intervals to review the multiple reports and relationships that exist within the school, and to develop the final documents which will be sent to the LCME in August, 1980. Although a time consuming task, it is already apparent that the process of self-study has served to bring representatives of the core university, faculty from all levels, and students together to review and to learn the institution first hand. Sound ideas and concepts about our purposes and missions have emanated from the various forums, and the working committees appear committed to a sound and objective review of the school's programs. . The Institutional Self-Study serves to give all an opportu~ItY to input their ideas and concerns. Accordingly, I invite you to give this process your undivided attention and to use the man~ channels open to you through departmental chairpersons, alumni president, hospital directors, etc., to inform us of your desires and needs. In this way, we will better serve you and at the same ti~e strengthen our commitment to the achievement of excellence ID medical education, biomedical investigation and patient service.O �Winter 1979 Volume 13, Number 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN I USPS 551-660) Published by the School of Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo EDITORIAL l:lOAIW I THIS ISSUE Dean aughton's Message (inside front cover) Editor ROBERTS.

Soon we will all be going into the only organized, formal 'slavery' in the free world - internship. We must never lose sight of our original goals and the right to question abilities and judgments. In treating your patients remember that each is a dynamic universe of three interacting galaxies- physical, emotional and spiritual. The poor and elderly deserve good medical care. We must remember our moral and ethical obligations to society. We must remain humble." The yearbook was dedicated to Dr. Alexander C. Brownie, professor and chairman of biochemistry, and Dr. Murray J. Ettinger, associate professor of biochemistry.

Second, today the air bristles with excitement, happiness and pride. Whoa to the speaker who pollutes this atmosphere with a melancholy dissertation on the shortcomings of the medical profession. Therefore, I shall present a bit of homespun philosophy. Very shortly, we shall enter into the only legalized form of slavery in the free world, the internship. In the midst of being an intern, when we are working 80-100 hrs/week; when it's 3 a.m. and we have four admissions; when the flack from resident and attending is fiercer than anything used in W.W. II, we have the right to ask this question: Did I enter medicine because I want to help people or because I have a sado-masochistic streak in me? We have the right to question our abilities, our worth and our judgment, but only for a moment. We must strive not to lose the big picture or forget the fact that internship is only one year though it may 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �seem like ten. And when we are in a position to influence the course of medical training, to recall the absurdity of being an intern. Though medical training stresses the physical state of the human being, we must never forget that each person is a dynamic universe of three interacting galaxies; the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual. Any of these three spheres can become diseased and when so diseased, will ultimately affect the workings of the other two. Therefore, we should endeavor to look beyond the physical disease, listen beyond the physical symptoms, and feel beyond the physical organs. In this way, we will be able to assess the needs of the entire person. We must attempt to educate our patients and their families about both preventive and interventive medicine. For the patient and his family will affect the ultimate outcome of our endeavors. We should strive to stay current in the medical literature for medicine is an ever expanding field. However, these journals and texts cannot become the be all and end all of our knowledge. Tho I may shock many academic physicians, the New England Journal of Medicine, and Harrison's do not contain all the answers. However, we will always have at our disposal the two most powerful tools of our trade: Our medical experience and our common sense. When the journals fail, these will not. It is important that we adopt an attitude of cautious skepticism toward new drugs and new techniques. Give new ideas and inventions much time to prove their worth and validity- in this way we can avoid future mistakes like Thalidomide. We need to stay abreast of the social, political, and economic issues of our day for these will have as great an impact on the health of our patients as any pathogenic organism but the cure will not be as straightforward. We must be accepting of the poor and the elderly for they are no less a part of humanity and deserve no lesser quality of medical care than our young middle and upper class patients. We as physicians have a moral and ethical obligation to care for all classes of society. We should be slow to condemn our colleagues but quick to offer constructive criticism for policing our profession is an obligation and our goal is to educate and improve the skills of those physicians who may be inadequate not banish them from the profession. Likewise, for the sake of society and the profession, we must never hesitate to admonish and correct those physicians who fall into unethical practices. Despite all our knowledge and years of training; despite the fact that we may save a few lives, we should strive to be humble physicians. Remember the stag who admired his great horns and despised his ugly legs: When the hunter came, his swift legs saved him but later when tangled in the thicket, his horns destroyed him. I hope there is some wisdom in what I have said.O WINTER, 1979 7 Douglas Waldo Dr. Constant, Roger Kais er, Dr. Wright Be rn edette Sheridan, Dr. Corter PonniJJ �Post Graduate Matching Dr. Katz, Juanita Evereteze Eighty-one per cent of the senior medical students received their first, second or third choice in the annual National Postgraduate Matching Program. Almost one-half of the 137 students were matched with their first choice, according to Dr. Leonard Katz, associate dean. Sixty-nine of the students will remain in New York State. Of these 39 selected Buffalo area hospitals for their residencies. Nine students are going to Maryland, seven to Massachusetts, six to Pennsylvania, five to Ohio and 16 students selected hospitals in California, Wisconsin, Florida and Illinois. Fifty-nine students selected medicine as their specialty, 18 surgery, 18 family practice, 16 pediatrics, and 10 Ob/Gyn. Dr. Katz mentioned 23 prominent hospital programs where the students were matched. They are: pediatrics at Medical Center Hospital of Vermont, Case Western Reserve University Hospitals, Bronx Municipal Hospital Center, University of California Hospitals (San Francisco), Children's Hospital (Philadelphia), ew England Medical Center Hospital (Boston), medicine at University of Virginia Hospital, Strong Memorial Hospital (Rochester), Boston City Hospital, University of Iowa Hospitals, Case Western Reserve University Hospitals, New England Medical Center Hospital; Ob/Gyn at Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore), The New York Hospital; surgery at Yale-New Haven Medical Center, University of Minnesota Hospitals, DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center; psychiatry at Yale-New Haven Medical Center, New York University Medical Center; family practice at Charles S.

Vincent J. Capraro and Marcos B. Gallego have been appointed Co-chairmen of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Millard Fillmore Hospital. Dr. Capraro, M'45, is professor of Gyn/Ob at U/B. He was Chief of the Pediatric and Adolescent GYN at Millard Fillmore Hospital in 1972 until he became Chairman of the OB/GYN Department in 1976. In addition to numerous other awards he has received, Dr. Capraro will be presented with the District II Award by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists. He is also currently involved in writing a chapter entitled "Pediatric Gynecology" for Obstetrics and Gynecology the fourth edition by Danforth, editor. Dr. Gallego received his Medical Degree from the University of St. Tomas in the Philippines and is certified and a Diplomate of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. His subspecialty is Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology and Corrective Gynecology Surgery. In 1977, Dr. Gallego served as Director of the Clinical Teaching Unit in the Department of OB/GY at Millard Fillmore Hospital and he is currently an Assistant Professor in Gynecology-Obstetrics at U/B.D Dr. Capraro Dr. Gallego Spinal Cord Injury Center The Erie County Legislature approved creation of a spinal cord injury center at the Erie County Medical Center, according to Dr. Guy Alfano, hospital director and clinical professor of surgery. The center will serve Western New York. Patients will no longer have to travel as far away as Denver, Colorado to receive the acute management they require for spinal cord injury. They will be able to receive their medical/rehabilitation needs from a sophisticated, multi-disciplinary team at the hospital that includes: rehabilitation medicine - · Dr. Glen Gresham; orthopedics- Dr. Eugene Mindell; neurosurgery- Dr. Louis Bakay; trauma - Dr. John Border; nursing - Caroline Granato, R.N.; urology- Dr. Imre Magoss; and radiology- Dr. Eugene Leslie. The $259,000 estimated cost of staffing the 10 bed unit will be more than offset by anticipated annual revenues of $930,750. On average, one spinal cord injury is recorded each week in Western New York. The majority, males, are the victims of vehicular or diving accidents, a sports injury or gunshot wound. And they end up as paraplegics or quadriplegics with paralysis.D WI TER, 1979 15 The articles, A Physician Faces Disseminated Reticulum Cell Sarcoma in Himself, by the late Samuel Sanes, M.D. that appeared in The Buffalo Physician {19741978) have been printed in book form by State University of New York Press, 99 Washington Avenue, Albany, N.Y. 12246.

Spring Clinical Days Cardiovascular Disease On Friday "What's Right With Medicine Today" focused on the past, present and future advances in eight subspecialties of Medicine and Surgery. Recognized experts in these areas have been called upon to emphasize some of the superlative advances in technology, diagnosis and treatments and the positive effect they have on reducing medical cost. Program chairman Dr. Robert Schultz, M'65, introduced the speakers.D There is good news for people with cardiovascular diseases, according to Dr. Francis J. Klocke, professor of medicine and chief of cardiology at the Erie County Medical Center. "It is still our number one health problem (one out of every two deaths in the United States) but there has been a 30 per cent decrease in mortality since 1950. There have been many improvements in the diagnosis and treatment, but we need to know more about which improvements have contributed most to the disease. "We are making inroads in the treatment of hypertension (twothirds are being treated today) and people are changing their diet habits to control cholesterol and obesity. More and more people realize that smoking is bad. The problem is with the teenager, who is smoking more," Dr. Klocke said. He. mentioned the emphasis on exercise-jogging, bicycling, walking. "Heart attacks may diminish with exercise or regular physical activity." 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �He mentioned several tools-exercise stress tests, coronary anteriography, echocardiography and nuclear cardiology-that have made diagnosis easier. "It is possible in the cardiac catheterization lab to see coronary arteries, with a high degree of safety, in movie and still films." Dr. Klocke discussed and showed slides of two types of cardiac imaging-perfusion scanning and gated blood pool scanning. He also talked about risk factors, treatment and identification. "Coronary problems increase with age and we can't do anything about our inheritance. But we can identify areas where we can make further improvements," Dr. Klocke said. Several of his other observations: - 20 to 40 per cent of people with hypertension are effectively treated today and this will have an impact on incidence of coronary disease; - in the last decade there has been a 10-15 per cent decrease in cholesterol levels in the blood; - our diet patterns are changing; we are eating more vegetable fats, less animal fats; - studies show that heart attacks may decrease with exercise; - nuclear techniques are coming along fast and these increase the precision of our diagnosis; - we have not yet seen the impact of improved diagnosis on mortality, but we soon will; - we are doing much better in CCU's; - oral nitrates are good and we have learned how to give more of them for a longer period of time; they do work if you give them continuously and long enough; - we must learn about primary prevention and control of atherosclerosis and lesions in the arteries. Dr. Francis J. Klocke Dr. Klocke reminded his colleagues of the importance of getting a natural history of their patients. "The sudden cardiac death is still unsolved. We are still learning why this happens. We need better mechanisms for evaluating new therapeutic modalities. Within five years the natural history of coronary disease will be updated importantly for large scale patient registry data."O Infectious diseases remain the best, if not the only examples of medical problems that can be prevented and cured, according to Dr. Richard Lee, Professor of Medicine and Chairman of the Department of Medicine at the Veterans Administration Medical Center. "There is a whole lot that is right about our understanding of the management of infectious diseases." The physician-educator suggested that there are two broad areas of current interest-(1) the definition of the new etiologic agents and new understandings about the mechanisms of infection; and (2) the remarkable successes of prevention and treatment such as active and passive immunization, vector control and the continued struggles to develop chemotherapeutic agents which are at least one step ahead of microbial adaption. WI TER, 1979 17 Infectious Disease �Spring Clinical Days Dr. Ri ch a rd V. Lee Dr. Lee reviewed briefly the present hypothesis regarding Kuru, an unconventional slow virus, and its relationship to cannibalism among the Fore people of New Guinea. He illustrated the transmission of the characteristic spongiform changes of the central nervous system by innoculation of human brain tissue into subhuman primates. "Unconventional agents, like that of Kuru, are very bizarre and frightening. They are not antigenic and they produce no immune responses. We cannot develop a vaccine for primary prevention until we find someway to make these unconventional infectious agents antigenic. In addition, they have remarkable stability to the usual killing agents-heat, boiling, and radiation." The agent of Jakob-Creutzfeldt disease, another unconventional slow virus which produces spongiform changes in the central nervous system, has been transmitted by corneal transplantation. Rabies and measles are the best known of the slow conventional virus diseases that affect man. These agents are quite distinct from the unconventional slow viruses and are preventable by vaccines. After a discussion of the elucidation of the pathogenesis of some infectious diarrheas, especially the "turista," enterotoxin producing E. Coli, Dr. Lee discussed the development and utilization of vaccines. He stated that a new tissue culture derived rabies vaccine is available in Europe but is not yet licensed for clinical use in the United States. This new vaccine has much reduced the tendency to produce central nervous system dysfunction in the recipient, in contrast to the old simple rabbit spinal cord vaccine and the presently used duck embryo vaccine. Dr. Lee pointed out that the use of human immune globulins with antibodies specific for rabies has been available in the form of Hyperab for some years. When a patient has a clear exposure to rabies, usually from a bite of a wild animal, which is omnivorous or carnivorous 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �(rodents do not generally carry rabies]. or an unprovoked bite from a sick acting dog, the patient should receive passive immunization with human anti-rabies globulin as well as beginning active immunization with the currently available killed virus rabies vaccine . National and international programs of vaccination have accomplished a great deal of good. Smallpox has virtually disappeared from clinical records as a result of widespread international vaccination campaigns. Dr. Lee urged a certain amount of caution in accepting the notion that we have " eradicated" smallpox virus, and pointed out that physicians and health workers should be careful to maintain their immune status since they are the frontline anytime epidemic disease appears. The failures of the Swine Flu vaccination program, Dr. Lee stated, were due primarily to societal and governmental problems and not scientific sophistication or technologic abilities. The fact that a vaccine could be produced within a 6 or 8 month period of time following the initial reports of swine flu influenza in humans, represents a major testament to our scientific and technologic sophistication. The fact that a major epidemic did not occur was good luck rath er than an y maliciousness on the part of physicians advising the Communicable Disease Center and the Federal government. The complications of swine flu vaccination, in particular Guillain-Barre syndrome, were not unique to the swine flu vaccine , but in fact , are expected risks with any vaccination. Dr. Lee then discussed some aspects of antibiotic resistance. He pointed out that multiple drug resistance transmitted amongst bacteria by extrachromosomal DNA plasmids has become an increasingly important problem. The emergence of multiple resistant nosocomial organisms is in large part related to the use and abuse of antibiotics in the hospital setting. Dr . Lee pointed out, in his closing comments, that present day medicine has very potent weapons against infectious diseases-vaccines and antimicrobial agents. Misuse of these weapons is increasingly common and poses great risks to our society. The failure to vaccinate children and adults effectively against preventable diseases such as measles, diptheria, rubella, and polio represents a tremendous risk to individuals and the community. Inappropriate usage of antimicrobial agents has provided a strong evolutionary selection process for drug resistant bacteria. Dr. Lee concluded by emphasizing that overconfidence about our ability to deal with infectious diseases is perhaps as dangerous as the infectious diseases themselves.D Drs. O.P. Jones, M'54, Bertram Partin, M'53, Ma r vin Kuri an, M'64. The new change in the medical approach to cancer treatment is the successful use of drugs , according to Dr. James F. Holland, Professor and Chairman of Neoplastic Diseases at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York City. "There has been much progress in the last eight years. Cancer is a concern of all medical groups because no organ is exempt. We are making steady progress in the treatment of cancer. Since 1970 there has been a decreasing number of deaths. Many more people under 30 have WI TER , 1979 19 d- �Dr. James F. Holland Spring Clinical Days been successfully treated and are alive and well today. This is also true of older people." The Director of Mount Sinai Hospital's Cancer Center mentioned the curative treatment of acute lymphocytic leukemia in children. He noted that the same principles of treatment are applicable to other cancers in adults. Cancer is a disease of cells and exists throughout the animal kingdom and in plants too. "In 1967 there was no survival beyond three years for acute myelocytic leukemia, but today the survival is longer. Many patients who have had chemotherapy the last six years are alive and well. This greater survival is related to the successful treatment by drugs plus immunotherapy." Metastatic breast cancer is a terrible disease and the commonest cancer among American women. He discussed the success that Dr. Richard Cooper has had with chemotherapy for women with breast cancer, with four or more auxiliary nodes involved at the time of surgery, treated in the immediate post operative period for nine months. "After eight years, 68 per cent are alive and well. This is a major change in breast cancer treatment and survival. Chemotherapy is much better than radiotherapy, and it may prove to be better than surgery." Dr. Holland paid a special tribute to Dr. Cooper, clinical associate professor of medicine, for his contribution to American women in his cancer research. "He made an enormous contribution to progress against breast cancer." Dr. Holland said, "Ovarian cancer is increasingly common, and highly lethal. Pelvic examinations to find curable disease are not adequate. Very often the cancer is found too late for curable surgery or effective treatment. Surgery has a helpful but not a curable role when the tumor is spread beyond the pelvis. Chemotherapy The winning exhibit: Outpatient Sphincterotomy for Anal Ulcer by Drs. W.H.

Dr. Holland discussed a series of studies that involved 2,500 children under 20 years old who had acute lymphocytic leukemia. All died within 15 months in 1956. "We took the best chemotherapy of this initial program and modified it successively as new results became available. By 1976 the children had a 50 per cent survival free of disease. Many patients have survived 10 years without treatment and there is no evidence of the recurrence of the disease." Dr. Holland made several other observations: - the campaign against smoking must take more effective hold to decrease lung cancer deaths; - saving a few thousand children from cancer is more important than an equivalent number of patients at the end of life; - deaths declined after 1970 when Congress appropriated more funds in a national effort against cancer; - postoperative adjunct radiotherapy for breast cancer should not be used any more since it is immunosuppresive and compromises the effect of chemotherapy; - chemotherapy may be more important than radical surgery in breast cancer; - postoperative chemotherapy should be used in most cancers if metastatic nodes are found; - leukemia provides an excellent model system for other types of disseminated cancer; - human leukemia may be due to a virus. There is no proof of this, but no disproof either; - acute lymphocytic leukemia in children is apparently many diseases; - the commonest cancer of childhood is 50 per cent curable today. "Oncologists are a very special group of people. It takes a lot of time, dedicc:tion and determination. They must continue to work as a team in their community and in their institutions. This is going on in Buffalo and is a tribute to the physicians and the community," Dr. Holland concluded.D WI TER, 1979 21 Cancer Chemotherapy �Dr. Sidney An than e Renal Disease, Dialysis The artificial kidney and kidney transplants have been the two outstanding developments since 1950 in renal disease, according to Dr. Sidney Anthone, clinical professor of surgery. "Prior to 1950 most patients with end stage renal disease were doomed with progressive uremia and an early death. No treatment was available for them." The director of dialysis and transplantation at The Buffalo General Hospital said, "40,000 people in the U.S.A. are being kept alive today by the artificial kidney at a cost of one billion dollars a year. Most of these people are leading productive lives, holding jobs, and raising children." The development of the external shunt (1960) was a major event that made possible the repeated use of the artificial kidney to prolong life. In 1964 the internal arterial-venous fistula was introduced making repeated access to the blood stream even more feasible. There are now BOO dialysis facilities in this country. Today dialysis machines are even used effectively in the home by the patient with assistance from his family. Dr. Anthone noted that the Japanese have developed a wearable artificial kidney called JAK-2. The patient wears a jacket and bag. The only problem-the patient must drink three liters of liquid per hour. Dr. Anthone discussed and showed designs of the early dialysis machines. In 1944 Dr. Kolff developed and used the first dialyzer, a rotating drum kidney. Although he had only one survivor out of his first 15 patients the potential for clinical improvement by hemodialysis was evident. This led others to investigate newer designs and clinical uses of the devices in the treatment of people who have lost their kidney function. The physician mentioned other dialysis machines- plate, parallel flow, Mac eill-Collins (first tested and clinically used in Buffalo), and hollow-fiber kidneys. "Dialysis machines today are more sophisticated and almost entirely automated. They can mix dialysate solutions, monitor temperature, conductivity, blood leaks, air bubbles and pressures-thus making the system adaptable to home dialysis." Chronic anemia and renal ostodystrophy are problems associated with renal failure but Dr. Anthone pointed out some new treatment regimens and newer drugs available to successfully treat these problems. Dr. Anthone mentioned Dr. Wells of Duke University who developed new techniques to prevent occurence of hypoparathyroidism after total parathyroidectomy, which is very difficult to treat. He devised a system of dicing up one of the glands into small pieces and implanting them in the muscle of the forearm. "The parathyroid enjoys a unique preference in the body that results in a 100 per cent take after auto transplantation. In time these diced pieces will secrete parathormone. This has worked well for chronic dialysis patients who necessitated total parathyroidectomy for the osteodystrophy of tertiary hyperparathyroidism." Dr. Anthone spoke about the government's role in the treatment of renal disease. "The cost is the big problem. It averages $20,000 per year, per patient in an in-center situation, while home situations cost about $10,000. Since our society is a society 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �predicated on equal opportunity for all the federal government in 1973 passed a law which amended the Social Security legislation to include reimbursement of all costs for all patients on chronic dialysis or transplanted. Congress had no idea that the number of people necessitating chronic dialysis would multiply so rapidly. The program doubled and tripled in a short time. Congress didn't realize that the patients on dialysis for the first year would continue on dialysis the second, third, and subsequent years. The attrition rate is only 10 per cent a year and new patients appear at the rate of 50 per million population. In 1974 in the U.S.A. there were about 15,000 patients on dialysis at a cost to the government of $250 million; in 1977 33,000 at a cost of $1 billion; and by 1984 it is estimated that over 55,000 will be on dialysis at a cost of $3 billion." The government has set up a complicated bureaucracy in an attempt to cut costs. Each dialysis unit needs a full time secretary to fill out the many forms, and many must employ a full time accountant to comply with the myriads of government regulations. In closing, Dr. Anthone mentioned two other uses of the artificial kidney that have received recent publicity. One, its use for the treatment of schizophrenia and the other, for the treatment of psoriasis.D There are new developments and hopes in transplantation, according to Dr. Thomas E. Starzl, professor and chairman of surgery at the University of Colorado Medical School. "The mechanism of rejection is not fully understood, but a lot is known about it. Study and research is continuing and progress is being made." The educator traced briefly the history of transplants with experimental animals (horses, cattle and dogs] in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Dr. Starzl noted that the field of transplantation was in a quandary until the early 1960's. "Rejection was considered one of nature's most powerful processes, but there were hints that this might not be the case. Then suddenly there were some revolutionary observations. Rejections were shown to be highly reversible and within two or three months some patients could even be taken off steroids. With this information kidney transplants became a reality. At first in the non-related cases of transplants, 30 to 50 per cent of the patients died in the first year. Today 75 to 80 per cent of transplant patients survive for 3 to 5 years." Dr. Starzl said, "There has been much improvement in liver transplants. The longest survivor has been living more than nine years and many others have been living five or more years." He said that the cellular agents of rejection are lymphocytes and something must be done to the recipient to abrogate his response. The Colorado physician noted that research has been slowed because of lack of government funds. This is also true in the case of portable dialysis machines that allow people to work and make a living. "We need a new infusion of funds so that patients can afford new forms of treatment." Dr. Starzl discussed lymph duct drainage which was unreliable a few years ago, but is 95 per cent successful today.

The 1934 class gave $3,350.00; the 1969 class gave $1,830.00. �In a survey conducted from 1971-76 in 105 centers with 5,000 patients the results were reviewed from 75 to 80 per cent of all renal transplantations done in North America during this period. For the recipients of primary cadaveric kidneys, the six month graft survival was only 55 per cent; the 12 month graft survival was 45 per cent. "Today the average recipient of a kidney transplant faces poor results. Fifty per cent will either be dead or back on dialysis within one year. For non-perfectly matched related cases 70 per cent have a one year success rate; the perfectly matched but not identical twin has a 90 per cent success rate." Dr. Starzl discussed a remarkable improvement from these results in a recent series of patients treated with thoracic duct drainage plus conventional immunosuppression. The six month success rate jumped to 88 per cent. However, he described his difficulties in obtaining funding for such improved care. The difficulties stemmed from rigid guidelines in federal agencies which tended to free therapeutic policies and to discourage innovations.D Dr. Harold Bernhard, clinical associate professor of medicine, discussed some of the modern diagnostic approaches and treatments of gastrointestinal diseases. "Make your office a cancer detection office ." Use of the many new devices will eliminate watchful waiting or exploratory surgery, according to the gastrointerology section head at Millard Fillmore Hospital. "New information is accumulating rapidly. My specialty is very fascinating and progressive. The use of new technology has made our diagnostic efforts more accurate and exciting," Dr. Bernhard said. "Fiberoptic Colonoscopy is an excellent example of recently introduced technology. This flexible instrument allows direct examination of the entire colon with precise diagnosis leading to early and specific therapy. It is used for evaluation of patients with questionable or negative colon x-rays, bleeding, diarrhea, polyps and previous surgery. The ability to remove polyps with the colonoscope has been a remarkable advance. This avoids the need for abdominal surgery and is very cost effective. The risk is less, the cost is less and time loss from work is minimal when compared to a surgical approach. "Colon Carcinoma is one of the major malignancies in this century. There are 100,000 new cases per year, 50,000 deaths and an overall cure rate of only 40 per cent. Until a major breakthrough in therapy occurs, improved survival figures requires finding early cases of colon carcinoma before symptoms occur. This can be done by routine screening for fecal occult blood with Hemoccult slides." Dr. Bernhard recommended this be part of all routine physical examinations just as the Pap smear is in the field of gynecology. "By making our offices cancer detection centers, we can find early cases of colon cancer with an 80 per cent five-year cure rate." The educator noted that jaundice is a physical finding that has always presented a challenge to the physician. While many cases WI TER, 1979 25 Dr. T homas E. Starzl Gastrointestinal Disease Dr. Harold Be rnhard �have an obvious etiology, at times it is difficult to differentiate medical (intrahepatic) from the surgical (extrahepatic) type. The use of "skinny needle" percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and/or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can precisely differentiate whether surgical or medical therapy is indicated. These tests outline the bile ducts with an opaque dye seen on x-rays. The dye is introduced into the biliary system either through a needle inserted into the liver (PTC) or through a cannula inserted into the lower bile duct by way of a duodenal endoscope (ERCP). Peptic ulcer is a major cause of disease and disability in the U.S. with 400,000 hospitalizations and 4 million days of treatment per year. Dr. Bernhard also discussed Cimetidine, a new drug that blocks the ability of the stomach to produce acid. In so doing, it allows healing of duodenal ulcers and there is prompt clearing of symptoms. The clinical results have been very striking. Careful followup will define whether this drug will reduce complications and the need for surgery.D ' ~ i- Critical Care Medicine The computer is an excellent servant (not a magic processor) to the health care team, according to Dr. John H. Siegel, professor and chairman of surgery at The Buffalo General Hospital. It answers questions and analyzes data and it is a very expensive piece of hardware. Dr. Siegel noted that entries can be made by the physician, nurses and technicians so that many patient problems can be studied. It is exceptionally good for burn patients and for patient followups. For the trauma patient it keeps an inventory of injuries, and if the patient is operated on, it records the details. It enables the surgeon to write a simple, quick operative note. "The computer shows the surgeon what he has done and he can compare the results with other patients who have had the same procedure. It will show disease responses and the complications and cause of death. "The computer is excellent for cardiac output studies. It will take primary data and come up with secondary data. It can compare variables. It can look at things in many (20) dimensions. "The computer suggests, adds to, and reinforces the judgment of the physician. It does not replace the physician. In the period 1973-76 at the Buffalo General we have had more admissions in the intensive care unit and the mortality rate has decreased in both general and cardiac surgery. And during the last two years the mortality rate is continuing to decrease steadily and persistently to 10 per cent. " In an intensive care unit like we have at the Buffalo General the computer can automate, monitor, help get clinical and lab data, but it is most valuable as the manager of an enormous data base," Dr. Siegel said. The most important thing you can do in taking care of an injured or critically ill patient is to reduce morbidity. Disability accounts for 70 per cent of medical cost. It is more costly than hospitalization. 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Dr. Siegel made several other observations: - the computer is a bunch of machinery only as good as the ideas that make it work; -it can give you and interpret information about a patient faster, more accurately and more precisely; - it is oriented toward education and care. It remembers many things and it gives information that people may have forgotten or don't know; -it provides some kind of a quality review in terms of quality effectiveness by reviewing statistics with regard to outcome; -it serves as a patient's record; - it helps in daily fluid and electro-light balance; it is a bookkeeper; - it analyzes and looks at interaction and frequency of spectrum of change in a patient; - it gives different types of disease responses, and sequence of events; - it looks at things in a systematic way - in a way that a physician can't; - it supplements a physician's clinical knowledge and provides better care; - it helps the physician in making critical decisions for the critically ill; -it can take 11 vc;riables and come up with the answer. In some areas the mortality decrease has been startling because of the computer. "But even the computer can't salvage the patient who is too far gone," Dr. Siegel concluded. Spring Clinical Days Dr. Siegel The Saturday session focused on the changing concepts and rising cost in the delivery of health care. Health Maintenance Organizations, National Health Insurance and the effects of governmental policies on hospitals, physicians and research was discussed by various individuals associated with the delivery of health care.D HMO's do not give patients a free choice and no wide choice of physicians, according to Dr. Edmond Gicewicz. "It is like 'army medicine' because the physicians are on salary and there is not much incentive. It is the government that is creating the crisis in medicine. It is political intrusion into medicine." The clinical assistant professor of surgery reminded his colleagues that the American people live longer today and suffer less from disease. They are getting better care and seeing doctors less. Dr. Gicewicz noted that the federal government has had little success with its social security program (bankrupt); both the subsidized post office and railroads are in trouble and last year's swine flu program was a fiasco. He reviewed several of the goverment health acts. In 1946 the government created a crisis by saying we needed more hospitals. Then the government went on a crusade for more hospital and nurWI TER, 1979 27 HMO's d- �sing home beds. "Today these same bureaucrats say we have too many hospitals and beds. We must cut back. They say there are 600 too many beds in Erie County; 20,000 too many in New York State." The physician-educator discussed briefly the three types of HMO's- staff model, group model and the Independent Practice Association. The staff model is in operation in Cheektowaga. An IPA is being planned for Western New York and it has had two federal grants totaling $760,000 to get it operational. The law states that HMO's must be financially independent and give quality care. The federal government's general accounting office studied 14 various types of HMO's in this country recently. They found that three of them may achieve financial independence; 5 have a fair chance of being financially solvent and six have a poor chance of survival. "This is a ringing indictment. Most HMO's are marginal operations and may go into financial limbo in a few years," Dr. Gicewicz said. He made several other observations: - HMO's are not a good alternative to the private care of medicine; there is less humanization; - the government is making the health care industry the scapegoat; - HMO's are the product of politicians, bureaucrats, and social activists; -HMO is a prepaid health plan; - HMO's have enrolled very few indigent or elderly persons; - HMO's have not directed their medical services to underserved areas; - HMO's don't offer open enrollment; - they have not been able to adequately control costs; - they have underpriced services, lost money and may not be able to pay off their federal loans; - today 190 million Americans are covered with some kind of health insurance. In conclusion, Dr. Gicewicz suggested that more emphasis be placed on preventive medicine. "We must do a better job of educating people so they will lose weight, won't smoke or drink so much or take harmful drugs. These are the big killers and I wish HMO doctors would come up with the solutions. HMO's are not the panacea for either the patients or for the doctors. "D Dr. fam es Tyne r, Rita Swick I The President of the Hospital Association of New York, George Allen, said that his Association is interested in three areas of hospital regulation - quality, (least regulated) quantity and cost control. " ew York State regulates hospitals more than any other state to control Medicaid." Dr. Allen noted that the Association was a trade organization that dealt mainly with local and state government and hospital unions. "Labor costs in hospitals are going up about 4.5 per cent annually, and our major problems are in the New York City area. Medicare is one of the biggest problems." He went on to say that government controls 75 to 80 per cent of hospital revenues and generates 25 per cent of the cost in paper work. "Physicians don't want to get involved in hospital functions, but they must take a more active role in the future ." 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA J �I \ J Mr. Allen spoke of two major regulatory trends; the establishment of hospital facilities standards and the cost and payment controls. Both are related to money matters and have intensified as the cost of hospital care increases. Together, the two have resulted in hospital regulations that are both prolific and broad in scope. In addition, the industry faces demands for compliance with innumerable regulations directed at particular aspects of institutional operation- environmental matters, personnel matters, professional performance matters and others. The result is piecemeal and uncoordinated regulation to an extent known by few, if any, other industries. Regulation of the hospital industry dates back to 1946 with the enactment of the Hill-Burton Act. He reviewed several national and state laws. In 1976 in an effort to promote a reasonably regulatory process, the Hospital Association undertook an in depth study of duplicate regulatory requirements imposed on New York State hospitals. This study identified 164 different agencies (40 are federal, 96 are state, 18 county-city, 10 other) with jurisdiction over acute care institutions. This study did not address a significant component in the regulatory process- cost of compliance. A second study was undertaken two years later and revealed some startling facts: -The annual costs to hospitals and the patients they serve exceeds $1.1 billion; -About 116 million man-hours each year are needed to meet regulatory requirements. That annual commitment is the equivalent of more than 56,000 hospital employees spending all of their time on regulatory matters. This is enough people to staff 75 hospitals, each with an average of 250 beds; - Regulatory matters occupy about 24 per cent of all manhours; - Registered professional nurses spend 1 out of every 5 days they work on regulated matters; -Forms and reports required by regulators are estimated to cost ew York hospitals more than $128 million annually; - In four hospital departments- administration, personnel, social services, and utilization review- more than 50 per cent of overall costs arise from meeting regulatory requirements; - Each year the cost of new hospital regulations adds 4 per cent to the regulatory bill. "About $40 per day per patient is spent on meeting regulatory requirements. This is about 25 per cent of the per diem cost. In Albany the regulatory cost is 26 per cent, 25 per cent in Rochester, 24 per cent in Buffalo and 23 per cent in Syracuse. The health care industry does not challenge the need for regulation. Rather, it challenges the manner and extent of that regulation. One component - revenue control - has driven hospitals into heavy deficiencies. In 1977, 80 per cent of hospitals in ew York suffered deficits," Mr. Allen said. "Regulations are causing hospitals to mortgage their future . They are not putting away funds for depreciation and in 16 years many will be out of endowment funds and will be unable to replace or improve their physical plants. In Great Britain the hospitals' physical plants have completely deteriorated. In New York State hospitals are closing; 34 went bankrupt since 1975. WINTER, 1979 29 Bureaucratic Regulations d- �Dr. Raymond Robillard National Health Insurance "Whenever you see government money the purpose of an institution is perverted. We will no longer be much interested and dedicated to care and curing- as we will be in satisfying government demands in producing progress the way government wants and in spending money the way the government wants us to. There is no example in this country's history that shows government has done a better job than private industry. Colleges and universities are guilty of responding to government money. We must stop this pervasive role of government in health care and the physicians must be a piece of this action." Mr. Allen's other observations: - PSRO's are used by government to control and curtail costs in delivering health care; -the federal government is concerned with cost control; -many state governments have a 'medicaid mortality;' -cost control is above and beyond most regulatory agencies; - in 1968 cost of medicaid in ew York State exceeded the estimates for the entire nation, and in 1969 the state legislature froze medicaid rates; -Blue Cross and Medicaid represent 50 per cent of revenues of this nation; -75 per cent of revenues are controlled by the government; - a 1977 survey shows that 80 per cent of the hospitals in New York State operated at a loss; someone has to make up the deficit; ew York State may be the model for cost containment in the rest of the nation; -nationally hospital costs have been going up 14 per cent annually as compared to 8 per cent in ew York State; - an independent agency should control hospitals -not the Department of Health. In conclusion, Mr. Allen made several predictions: - government will try to control behavior patterns of physicians and patient care; -by 1981 and beyond hospitals will probably be reimbursed (not on costs) by patient care in ew York State called 'diagnostic related groupings; ' - we are headed for a ational Data Bank that will spark a battle over privacy.O In Canada most health care money comes from a general federal-provincial taxation fund, according to the president of the Federation of Medical Specialists in Quebec. Dr. Raymond Robillard said, "The government bargains with the medical association to set the fee schedule . People are admitted to hospitals free. Four-fifths of the cost of medical care for patients is for hospitalization." He went on to say that the doctors have never been consulted on the Canadian Health Program and that hospital administrators have very little leeway in making decisions. "We are not delivering quality health care. The unions are very strong and a strike might be the best thing that could happen." 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Mrs. Stockton Kimball , Dr. Gice wi cz, Da vid Satterfield, Drs. Ross Marke lJo, Carme la Arm e nia, Robe rt Schultz, Lawre nce Carde n. The attending neurosurgeon said "the Canadian Health System is an 'export from Great Britain.' Inflation is very high -11 per cent a year, while physicians receive only a four per cent per year increase. Since 1970 the purchasing power of physicians has dropped 32 per cent. The physicians aren't happy and many- 800 to 1,000 per year- are leaving the country. Some are coming to the United States." Dr. Robillard outlined other problems: there are many hospital closings ; there is not much CT scanning available; elective admissions to hospitals is non-existant; hospital deficits are high - $32 million in Quebec; bureaucratic red tape and greed ; physicians are pressured by the government and a ten per cent cut in residents every year. He also observed that doctors get a bad press; there is no elective surgery; no new hospitals have been built in Quebec in 10 years; many doctors have opted to leave the program; the health care system has a terminal disease; government financing is the fault of the system , which is a welfare state system . "The government has already told us that in October, 1979 all medical specialists will be paid on a salary basis and general pr.:tcti tioners on a per capita basis. " Physicians' incomes have eroded. They earn an average salary of $49,000 as compared to $44,800 for lawyers and $43,300 for dentists. But physicians' purchasing power has decreased 32 per cent while lawyers has increased 54 per cent, dentists 58 per cent , accountants 113 per cent and other segments of the population has increased 111 per cent. The doctors have been squeezed very hard. "The cost of medical services in Canada are increasing because people are living longer and new techniques are expensive . By 1985, 12 per cent of the population will be 65 or older. We must either increase taxes or cut down on benefits. There is no other way out and quality of care will probably decrease." WI TER , 1979 31 Spring Clinical Days �Dr. Robillard warned his colleagues, "You will also have state medicine if Senator Edward Kennedy gets his way. When Senator Kennedy tells you the Canadian physicians are happy, he is either ignorant of the situation or lying. You are the last bastion of liberal medicine in the world. If you falter, we in Canada will go down the drain for sure. "0 Mrs. Stockton Kimball, Dr. Gicewicz, David Satterfield Politics/Rising Costs Dr. Keith Leffler Inflation and government intervention have been two of the main reasons for the escalating costs of health care in recent years, according to a University of Washington assistant professor of economics. Dr. Keith Leffler noted that health care costs for the average American family has tripled in the last 12 years. "But we spend twice as much on transportation." Before 1965 the wealthy people consumed most of the health care dollars, but in recent years the poorer people have consumed most of the money. By 1977 the combination of government payments and insurance coverage paid 65 per cent of the physicians' bills, and 95 per cent of hospital bills. "The villain is clear-government subsidies and patients who don't pay from their own wallets. This makes health care more expensive," Dr. Leffler said. "The solution lies in good intentions and incentives. Bureaucratic controls don't make for good incentives. Cost controls don't change the economics of the situation, and government controls will do nothing about the demand for health care." Dr. Leffler made several other observations: - since 1965 medical care cost for people under 19 increased two and one half times while for people 65 and over it increased sevenfold; . - when the government introduced medicare/medicaid in 1966, medical care cost increased 25 per cent; -we spend more on health care than any country in the world; - health care consumption has not increased but distribution has; - in 1970 the well-to-do people became very nervous and purchased more private health insurance; -patients often move from rural to urban areas for surgery; - new restraints proposed by bureaucrats to solve problems usually don't work and are more costly; - physicians' incomes decrease when the output of medical schools increase; - some people believe if you limit the amount you spend on health care you will reduce the cost; - the market is entirely removed from solving cost problems when third party payments are increased. Senator Edward Kennedy's national health care plan is attractive to many and payment by one central agency may help control costs, according to the economists. "We can explain the price of medical care by looking at supply and demand and the availability of physicians and hospitals. The economic market does work," Dr. Leffler concluded.D 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The Stockton Kimball lecturer warned that proposed federal legislation, if passed, would dominate America's health system. Congressman David E. Satterfield of Virginia told the physicians that the Bureau of the Budget has plans to take over the VA Hospitals for a Federal Hospital System. "This is just the first of many steps. There is a strong move in Congress to gain control of the nation's private medical facilities and health professionals. HEW would like to control the licensing of all health facilities including the clinical labs in doctors' offices." The Congressman warned that the HEW Secretary, Joseph A. Califano Jr., wants to impose national guide lines on health institutions and physicians. He wants power, leverage and control of the health care system. "This is too much authority for the HEW secretary." Some proposed legislation would virtually make 'slaves' out of medical students by making them practice in a certain area if they received a capitation grant while attending medical school. "The government would like to look over every physician's shoulder," Mr. Satterfield said. "The lack of a funding mechanism has been the only thing that has saved us from some sort of a national health plan. Some people want a modified plan as a first step. Once we have this, there will be no return from complete government control. So far Congress has been able to hold off the bureaucrats." Mr. Satterfield told the physicians that he was confident that National Health Insurance could be headed off. "But we need your help and hard work. People must tell Congress what they want. I can assure you that each member of Congress will respond to your appeals. This is your front line of defense. If you fail it may be too late. " ational Health Insurance means security to some people. But it is federal control and nationalization of your health care. In the past there have been many bills that are blueprints of a national health plan, and there will probably be many more in the future." Congressman Satterfield made these observations: - HEW wants an alternate health care system; - proponents of HMO's will leave no stone unturned to get them operational; - HEW wants control of our health facilities; - from 1968 to 1978 hospital costs rose 11.8 per cent while income rose 8.6 per cent; - HEW is attempting to compare the value of hospital business with industrial revenues; - if we enact national health insurance, third party payments would go only to federally qualified HMO's. "The winds of socialization are blowing. Medicine is on the front line. You physicians and health professionals are the target; you know the danger. All that is needed is your commitment. Please act now for yourselves, for me and the nation," the Congressman concluded.O WINTER, 1979 33 Health and Government February 29, March 1 & 2, 1980 Sarasota Hyatt House Sarasota, Florida The First Annual Winter Symposium A Continuing Medical Education Conference and Convention of The CME Society "Trends in Internal Medicine-" Gastroenterology, Cardiology and Endocrinology For Family Physicians & Internists Jointly sponsored by The CME Offices of McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario �Medical Alumni Officers Dr. Carden Or.

Dr. Milch was a past president of the Maimonides Medical Society of Buffalo, a former member of the executive committee of the local B'nai B'rith and had been active in the B'nai B'rith Anti-defamation League. During World War II, Dr. Milch was a captain in the Army Medical Corps. He received a Purple Heart after being wounded while serving with the 23rd General Hospital Unit. Among the survivors is a son, Robert, a 1968 Medical School graduate.D Dr. Charles M. O'Connor, M'24, died June 16 in Millard Fillmore Hospital after a short illness. His age was 79. Following his internship at Buffalo General Hospital he joined the staff of Millard Fillmore and Kenmore Mercy Hospitals. He was active in several professional organizations. Among the survivors is a son, Dr. Charles F., a 1957 Medical School graduate.D Dr. Archibald S. Dean, professor emeritus and former regional director of the State Health Department (1948-1964). died April 21 in Jacksonville, Florida. His age was 84. He was on the U/B faculty for 26 years (19341960). When he retired he was professor of preventive medicine. In 1955 he was named head of the medical school's department of preventive medicine and public health. Dr. Dean was listed in American Men of Science, Who's Who in Government, Who's Important in Medicine and Who's Who Among Physicians and Surgeons. He was a Fellow of the AMA, life member of the American Public Health Association and active in several other regional and national professional associations. He was active in public health conferences worldwide and contributed many articles to health publications. He received his doctorate from the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health. Among the survivors is a son, Dr. David Dean, clinical associate professor of medicine.D WINTER, 1979 The vice president of the Medical Alumni Association, Dr. W. Yerby Jones, died March 14. The 75-year-old physician was former chief of staff at E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital and a leading ophthalmologist in the area for 50 years. He retired from the Meyer staff in 1972, and was named clinical professor emeritus of ophthalmology at the Medical School in 1971. Dr. Jones was the third black graduate of the U/B Medical School in 1924. Dr. Jones joined the faculty in 1946, teaching one course to junior medical students. During the last 25 years about 85 per cent of the ophthalmologists in the Buffalo area were trained by Dr. Jones at the Meyer Hospital. Many of his former students returned to Buffalo every spring for "eye teaching day." In 1950 this first meeting attracted six people. In 1971, 120 people including 60 ophthalmologists from around the nation attended. Dr. Jones was a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology. Among his local, state and national society memberships was that of legislative representative, section of ophthalmology, Erie County Medical Society. He was also a member of the medical advisory board for the Association of the Blind for New York State and the Royal Society of Medicine. Prior to joining the University faculty in 1946 as instructor in ophthalmology, he was in private practice. He was also affiliated with the Meyer Hospital and the Buffalo Eye and Ear Hospital as pathologist/ophthalmologist. He has also served as an Attending Physician at the Gowanda State Hospital. The well-loved physician was promoted to associate in ophthalmology in 1951 and six years later became associate clinical professor. In 1961 he became a clinical professor of surgery (ophthalmology). Appointment to head the division of ophthalmology (surgery) at the University followed in 1968. The Urban League Award recipient in 1949, Dr. Jones was cited for occupational and professional achievement as the only black physician on the University faculty and one of 14 to be admitted to membership in the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Jones was the author of several articles relating to his specialty.D 55 �From the Desk of Lawrence M.

FALL, 1979 1 �Research in the School of Medicine-A Rationale Each of the departments of the School of Medicine has an active research program, a function considered important to the success of the instructional program. Since our primary mission is to train physicians, why does a professional school need active highquality research? There are many reasons that justify the pursuit and maintenance of high-quality fundamental and applied research at a medical school. Research has been accepted as a major function of Universities, in many cases exceeding in importance the instructional function of these institutions. This thousand-year old tradition sees the University as a source of knowledge - associating learning with research. The modern University and its professional schools have been challenged by an unprecedented increase in enrollment, which tends to reduce the personal teacherstudent relationship. This trend threatens to convert the University, and especially its professional schools, into training centers in techniques and methodologies, with little or no research activity. Concurrently, the national and not-for-profit research laboratories, where excellent research work is performed in a highly efficient manner, offer an alternative resource of advanced knowledge. These institutions, which were established in response to urgent and concrete national needs or commitments, such as the Manhattan Project or the Space Program, may be considered as superior alternatives to Universities as sources of innovation and technological development. In the appropriation of national resources, it is generally easier to handle research and education as separate entities, administered more effectively in separate institutions. For this reason, the research function in Soviet Russia was virtually removed from the Universities and transferred to the more efficient national research institutions, and a similar trend has been apparent in the U.S. 2 The disadvantages in this general approach outweigh its advantages. This simplistic administrative reasoning does not always offer optimal solutions to the complexity of problems involved in teaching and research. Effective teaching has to be closely associated with research, while effective research cannot proceed for long without an ancillary teaching function. We will limit our present discussion to the first assertion, namely, that effective professional training, including that of physicians, requires association with active research. We shall start with the most obvious arguments - effective teaching calls for enthusiastic teachers; the students will hardly be "turned on" by a professor who is not emotionally involved with his subject. Only creativity in a given area will result in personal involvement and enthusiasm. Although creativity may be exerted also in innovative teaching of a subject, it is obviously more commonly encountered in research activity. In other words, teachers who do research are inherently better teachers. On the other hand, researchers who teach are generally happier and more gratified individuals than those who do not teach. Although full-time teachers may be expected to update their material, the researcher has much stronger incentives to do so and is glad to convey to the students up-to-date information. Next, there is a need for research experience in modern medical education. The modern physician is confronted with much more information and with many more alternatives than his predecessors. The problems he often encounters call for an investigative approach. This rationale can best be taught by instructors with extensive research experience. In fact, the exposure of the students to a research atmosphere, that is, an environment in which there are no ready solutions to all problems, and where there is an ongoing THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �effort to identify new problems and try to solve them, is the most appropriate environment for the education of the physician of the future . When we refer to medical research, we should not distinguish between clinical research and research in what is referred to in medical education as the " preclinical sciences," since both these aspects of medical research make comparable contributions to the patient's welfare . This will be apparent in later sections of this report. Also, the public at large has become more aware of the value of research in medicine. The practicing physician who is affiliated with an academic institution and is known to be involved in research, not only finds personal satisfaction, but also enjoys a higher esteem from many of his patients. Likewise , a hospital known for its clinical innovations will attract more severe and challenging cases. Most importantly, such hospitals are in the best position to treat patients successfully. Medical research has to become, therefore , an integral part of medical education, not only for those physicians who pursue an academic career, but also for the practitioners. Consequently , the School of Medicine has to provide an appropriate atmosphere for such training, with its faculty acting as living examples. There are obviously also drawbacks and pitfalls in stressing the research function of a medical school. Research activities may become so attractive to the faculty as to lead to a neglect of the teaching functions . Faculty may become so involved in a particular topic as to lose their sense of proportion , overemphasizing a certain aspect of medicine way beyond its actual role in clinical practice. There may also be a lack of objectivity in cases of scientific controversy . Highly specialized teachers may " lose" their students by going into too much depth for the given level of medical education. These potential pitfalls, which can readily be overcome by appropriate supervision of the curriculum and of the content of individual courses, are by no means a reason for limiting the role of research faculty in medical education. Nevertheless, it is imperative for any good training program to avoid these potential pitfalls by assigning the supervision to individuals with broad research and teaching experience. In summary, effective modern medical education requires a strong research component and only a School of Medicine with a viable research program in all of its Departments, preclinical and clinical, can meet these needs. The research activities of the faculty are, therefore, not a luxury from the standpoint of medical education, but a necessity. Michael Anbar, Ph.D . Professor, Chairman of Biophysical Sciences The Biomedical Research Mission at SUNY/Buffalo Introduction The medical establishment was rudely shocked in 1910 by the publication of The Flexner Report on Medical Education in the United States and Canada. That report visualized the medical educational establishment as little more than a " trade association" and, with few exceptions, was critical of virtually every existing medical school. In the short seventy years that have transpired the country has seen medical education blossom into the very sophisticated system which FALL, 1979 prizes and guards jealously its contributions to undergraduate, graduate and continuing medical education, to the nation's biomedical research mission and to patient care. Today, it is axiomatic that regardless of the size or nature of a medical school , the conduct of research is an essential function . This was certainly not the situation in 1910. The experiences of the past seventy years have not only proved that research is important to the teaching and learning mission, but 3 �that the nation's medical schools have contributed significantly to the nation's total health and medical care mission through the "partnerships" that have existed between governmental funding agencies and research investigators located in the schools. Lest an institution's research mission be taken for granted, it is important that the content, quality, quantity, and productivity of an institution's research program be evaluated internally and externally at periodic intervals. This is accomplished by a number of mechanisms such as site visits, external peer reviews, and budget reviews, to name but a few of the many evaluative mechanisms. This issue of THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN was organized by Dr. Edward Carr and Ms. Barbara Mierzwa, not as an evaluative tool, but rather as a forum in which the many and varied research projects could be synthesized to present the reader with an appreciation of the extent, complexity and significance of the research activity at SU Y/Buffalo's School of Medicine. The faculty is heavily engaged in that mission as reflected by the reports presented in this issue as well as by its participation in programs supported and sustained by agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the Veterans Administration. The School's Role in Supporting Its Research Mission The conduct of research is an expected activity of every full-time faculty member. It is for that reason that SUNY accepts the performance of research as a part of the faculty member's job description and does not demand displacement of salary support provided by SUNY when research is being conducted. Similarly, this expectation is built into the faculty promotion process, and as many full-time faculty realize, a portion of each one's academic growth must show significant contribution of new knowledge and ideas to the field of expertise. In addition to significant levels of valuable salary support, SUNY provides the physical environment in which research is conducted. For the Medical School at Buffalo this environment is provided either directly by housing programs in University buildings or by leasing space located principally at affiliated teaching institutions. During the 1960's and early 1970's the provision of ade4 quate laboratory and office space in which to conduct academic pursuits was one of the principal deficiencies faced by the Medical School. This situation was occasioned by the tremendous expansion of the University on the Main Street Campus and the inordinate delay in starting the construction of the new campus in Amherst. During those years the Medical School's basic science faculty were dispersed throughout the City of Buffalo and little could be done to upgrade whatever facilities did exist on the Main Street Campus. Although the research environment is still far from ideal for the basic science faculty, significant advances have been made as a result of progress on the Amherst Campus. A vast majority of the basic science faculty and their programs are now housed in the Farber-Sherman-Cary complex on the Main Street Campus. Many of the laboratory facilities have been renovated for a shortterm period while awaiting implementation of the total rehabilitation of the Main Street Campus for the Health Sciences. However, elements of Neurobiology are still located near Sisters Hospital and on the Ridge Lea Campus and all of the Department of Social and Preventative Medicine is housed at 2211 Main Street. Further progress must await the readying of facilities for the Dental School. SUNY and the State of New York did commission Cannon Associates of Grand Island in 1978 to update the Master Plan for the Main Street Campus. This report has been submitted, and hopefully, further progress toward upgrading the basic science facilities will occur during the early to mid-1980's. The situation for the Clinical Faculty is vastly different. Since teaching, research and patient care are best conducted in a coordinated and semi-integrated fashion, the bulk of the school's clinical research mission is conducted at or near each of the affiliated institutions. The County of Erie, for example, constructed a Clinical Center which SUNY leases for the laboratory support of many of its faculty. Similarly, The Buffalo General Hospital maintains a core research facility, Children's Hospital houses a vast number of laboratories, and The Veterans Administration Medical Center not only houses laboratories, but through its own research program support mechanism nourishes and sustains the work of many faculty members. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �... The Buswell Fellowship Program One of the principal sources of research support in the School of Medicine is the Buswell Fellowship Program. This unique program is supported from proceeds derived from the Hochstetter Endowment. Each year a committee of established faculty scientists reviews the applications for proposed fellowships to select those individuals who evidence outstanding promise as physician investigators. An individual can be funded for up to three years during which he or she must commit eighty per cent of the effort to the research project. The remaining 20 per cent many be spent teaching and/or in direct clinical care. Over the years many of the graduates of this program have gone on to develop into excellent academicians at SUNY/Buffalo and at schools throughout the nation and the world. In 1977 an Annual Buswell Research Day was initiated at which Fellows present the results of their work, and in 1978, the Buswell Committee began inviting Buswell Fellow Alumni to present a lecture at the annual banquet. Dr. Robert Klocke of the Department of Medicine spoke in 1978 and Dr. Margaret MacGillivray of the Department of Pediatrics spoke in 1979. This program provides SUNY /Buffalo the opportunity to contribute in a significant way to the development of future established physician investigators and to be numbered among those few medical schools who can say that they participate in the research mission in a rather direct manner. Medical Student Research Program The school offers research education to the medical students principally through the Summer Research Fellowship Program. In 1979, 81 medical students were supported by stipends while working in either laboratory or clinical settings. Approximately one-third participated in the research program. These students were selected by a faculty committee and supported by funds derived from the institution's Biomedical Research Support Grant, Alumni contributions and speCial endowment and trust funds . The students work with established investigators, yet are expected to perform some level of independent investigation. The school was honored in 1979 by the fact that one of its students, Peter Yang, was invited to present his work at the FALL, 1979 National Student Research Forum conducted in Galveston, Texas. Biomedical Research Support Grant For many years the Public Health Service has provided direct institutional funding to medical schools, research institutes and hospitals which participate in the biomedical research mission. While several national administrations have attempted to eliminate this source of institutional funding, the Congressional consensus is that the BRSG program is essential to the overall good of the National Institutes of Health. These funds, although modest in amount, provide a flexible source of funds with which to help newly recruited faculty to initiate their research programs, for equipping laboratories, and for undertaking modest renovation of research facilities when warranted. The amount awarded each year is determined by the degree of participation in the biomedical research effort. The maximum awarded in any institution in 1978 and 1979 was $200,000. SUNY /Buffalo's share approximated $160,000 placing it in the upper third of the nation's medical schools. In summary, it is the coordination of faculty effort, and the sharing in support of faculty and physical resources from a variety of programs that enables an institution to participate in biomedical research in a significant and productive manner. If successful, the result is advancement of medical knowledge, enhanced professional education at all levels, and improved quality of health and medical care as evidenced either by the eradication of disease or the amelioration of the effects and consequences of chronic debilitating diseases. Flexner's observations in 1910 were apparently sound and correct. Today, the medical schools are challenged to make the research mission meaningful and to use their talents to meet the needs of the students, the profession and the society. I hope that the review summarized in this issue of THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN indicates that the faculty through the departments are taking the mission seriously and are responding to these multiple needs in a significant and effective way. John Naughton, M.D. Dean, School of Medicine 5 �Analysis of One Medical School's Research: A First Approach ON AUGUST FIFTEENTH of the year seven hundred and seventy-eight the rear guard of Charlemagne's army was attacked in a pass in the Pyrenees by Basques, who were apparently as violently separatist then as they are now. As he was away from the main body of his army, the captain of the rear guard, Roland, had been given a horn with which to sound the alarm in case of attack. Too brave and proud to call for help, he ignored his companions' advice and tried long and hard to fight off the attack without sounding the horn. Three centuries later he was immortalized in the greatest of medieval epics, "The Song of Roland," as the beau ideal of valor. However, most people were apparently more impressed by learning what, in historical fact, had been the outcome for Roland and his companions-wiped out to the last man. Since then there is no recorded instance that anyone has ever passed up an opportunity to blow his own horn. We are no exception in this issue. The research program of the Medical School of SUNY at Buffalo annually generates over eight million dollars (direct costs) for its sup-· port and describes its results in over one thousand publications. Several aspects of the research are noted in this article, which treats the School as a unit.* *Departments involved in each activity are shown by abbreviations: Anatomical Sciences, ANA; Anesthesiology, ANE; Biochemistry, BCH; Biophysical Sciences, BPH; Dermatology, DER; Family Medicine, FMD; Gynecology-Obstetrics, GYN; Medicine, MED; Microbiology, MIG; Neurology, NEU; Neurosurgery, NSR; Nuclear Medicine, NMD; Orthopedics, ORT; Otolaryngology, OTO; Pathology, PTH ; Pediatrics, PED; Pharmacology and Therapeutics, PMY; Psychiatry, PTY; Physiology, PGY; Radiology, RGY; Rehabilitation Medicine, REM; Social and Preventive Medicine, SPM; Surgery, SUR; Urology, URO. Readers wishing to fit any details into the broad program of a given department may then turn to the next section of this issue for departmental summaries. Good research, like good wine, depends on three factors, only one of which man controls. The soil, the climate and the type of grape are 6 the factors in a vineyard and only the latter is at the owner's discretion. After that, except for the exercise of blending skill, there is nothing to do but pray. In research the soil is the technology, the state of the art that determines what can be done. The climate is set by those groups in society that decide in a general way what is valued. Ideas are the grapes - the things that ferment - and the investigator can select those he or she wishes to cultivate. We will look at the product available in the year 1978-79 under the Chateau Naughton** label. Less figuratively, medical research consists of many studies but most of these studies fall into one of two categories. The first category consists of studies that have a practical end in view. They attempt to answer the question, "What is the best way to deal with this problem?" and are chiefly concerned with recognizing, preventing or treating disease. The second category consists of studies that search for new knowledge and ask, "How is it assembled? How does it work?". "It" may be a structure, process, drug or interaction between people. Although the first (end-inview) category of research is often conducted in man by clinicians, this is not always so. Although the second (search-for-newknowledge) is often conducted in vitro or in animals by basic scientists, this is not always the case. For example, in vitro experimental perfusion of organs, e.g. heart, with appropriate sera (MIC) has led to a challenge of previous beliefs that "solid" tissue grafts are rejected by cells rather than humoral antibodies. This laboratory study is clearly aimed at improving survival of transplants, a matter of immense practical importance. On the other hand, a study of the effects of changes in pressure, temperature, and degree of exercise stress on oxygen delivery systems in man (PGY) and other studies of gas exchange in the human lung (PGY, MED, PED) have potential practical usefulness but **Appellation Controlee THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �.. primarily approach important basic questions and look for new knowledge in man. The key difference between the two categories of research lies in the type of question asked, not in the personnel or in the site of the investigation. Provided this distinction is clearly kept in mind, the terms "applied" for the first category and "basic" for the second category are reasonable approximations. While single studies usually fall into one of the two categories of research listed above, groups or clusters of studies appear to me to fall into five types. A cluster of studies that are mainly (even if not purely) end-in-view is the first type. At the other extreme, a cluster of studies that are mainly (even if not entirely) search-for-new-knowledge is the second type. The third type is represented by clusters of studies that incorporate both categories of research to a high degree, i.e. they not only include a significant number of basic and a significant number of applied studies, but show a smooth continuum between these categories. The fourth type is a variant of the third. Some clusters have numerous studies from both categories but these are not yet sufficiently linked. The next step should be to link them more closely and this has already been initiated in some instances. As clusters of this fourth type seem to be seeking a center, I shall term them, for lack of a better term, centripetal. The fifth type, centrifugal, forms when a discipline is breaking out of former constraints and the thrust is toward developing more effective studies in both categories. It may be helpful next to describe one example of each type of cluster. It should be stressed that the sets or clusters described here have no organizational basis at all. Even where reference is made to two departments at once, the named departments may not have any organized joint venture. The grouping is simply based on the classification discussed above. 1. Those who best see where they are going are (who else?) the surgeons. Consider several cardiovascular projects. The use of deep hypothermia in children's heart surgery (SUR) and of microsurgical techniques for vascular reconstruction to permit reimplanting of severed fingers (ORT) (very appropriate in snowblower country) may be cited. Work by non-surgical investigators should also be noted, e.g. a follow-up study of the results of open heart surgery (MED). FALL, 1979 Other important studies examine the redistribution of blood that distinguishes septic from other types of shock (SUR) and the metabolic needs of the heart during surgery (BPH, SUR, BCH) or ingeniously monitor fetal heart during delivery (GYN). Incidentally, the applied nature of much cardiovascular research does not imply that basic cardiovascular research is absent in Buffalo. Basic cardiovascular control mechanisms are under investigation (MED, PGY). A possible primitive pacemaker is under study (ANA, PGY), not in the heart but, of all places, in a bat's wing. A truly great advance in treatment of heart disease was made by the Buffalo team of Chardack, Gage and Greatbatch, who put the first implantable pacemaker in a dog on May 5, 1958 and then were the first in the world to place one in a patient on April18, 1960. The use of combinations of cryosurgery plus chemotherapy in prostatic cancer (URO) together with related extensive studies of the pathology of male genitourinary cancer (PTH) fall in another sub-set. If we go further, a study of the use of cryosurgery in cancer of the head and neck (SUR) furnishes still another example of applied research. Several other studies fall in this cluster but only a few have been cited here to serve as examples, a practice that will be followed throughout this article. 2. A cluster of the second type is exemplified by studies of membranes. Mechanisms whereby membranes transport ions and larger molecules, control their own fluidity through sterol composition, and fuse in neurotransmission are all under study (BPH, BCH). Interdepartmental studies focus on ion transport (MED, BPH, PMY). Other studies concern cholesterol interactions in membrane and serum proteins (BCH). Research on serum cholestrol and lipoproteins has important implications in coronary artery disease. Other research concerns the passage of cations across the blood brain barrier (NEU) and- as an example of a clinical study within this largely basic cluster - the passage of water into the brain after trauma (NSR) is under investigation, including the role of dialysis in alleviating brain edema. d- 7 �3. An impressive set of studies, completely spanning the distance between basic and applied, have as their common theme the antigen-antibody reaction. This cluster is comprehensive. It is characterized by a wide range of investigations spread throughout the school. The absence of significant gaps at any stage from the most basic to the most practical studies is to the credit of many departments but the importance of the Department of Microbiology in this area is especially clear. I suggest the reader first read the excellent summary of that department's research, prepared by Ms. Mierzwa and Dr. Milgram, before continuing here . In one subset of studies, the development of immunofluorescence as a research tool (DER, MIC), a study of special situations in which the T-cell's role is circumvented (MIC) and an investigation of biophysical aspects of immunology (MIC) represent basic studies . In another sub-set the role of the immune system in various infections, including cytomegalic virus infections of pregnancy (GYN), hepatitis (PED), and respiratory infections of infants (PED) is investigated. The importance of antibody in colostrum and early milk (PED), the role of mononuclear cells in exudate in suppressing the immune response (PED) and a previously unsuspected direct cooperation between some antibodies and the immune system (PMY) are other noteworthy findings in this sub-set. Allergy to milk (PED) and to insect venom (MED, BCH), asthma (MED, PED) and the Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (PED, DER) are studied in another sub-set. The most extensive panoply is devoted to blood group and tissue antigens (MIC), the relation of the former to red cell membrane function (MED), antibodies to hemoglobin (BCH , MED), transplantation of heme marrow and kidney (MED), plus studies of autoantibodies in various diseases. These include collagen disorders (PTH, MED), diseases of kidney and lung (PTH, MIC), multiple sclerosis (NEU, MIC) and several skin diseases (DER, MIC, PTH), particularly psoriasis and ringworm. Ernest Witebsky cast a long and beneficent shadow. 4. The fourth, centripetal, type of reseaFch cluster develops when historical factors have artificially caused too much separation between end-in-view and search-for-newknowledge research within a given area; good investigators in each of the separated sub-sets 8 then work to approach each other, not with the goal of blending into one amorphous mass that would destroy the value of both sub-sets and create an even worse artificial situation, but rather with the goal of establishing better links. A good example is the use of drugs. While advances in basic pharmacology have been steady and encouraging, the drug explosion associated with this advance in recent decades has showered on clinicians a whole series of drugs to be studied. Basic pharmacologic work at Buffalo includes studies of: the way kidney and lung, as well as liver, metabolize drugs (PMY); renal excretion of basic drugs (PMY), the possibility that Isuprel <~> may antagonize its own effect through a metabolite (PMY); penetration of the central nervous system by antibiotics (MED); effect of intratympanic installation of antibiotics that are ototoxic (OTO); transport of fluoride into bone and teeth (BPH); narcotic (PMY) , alph-adrenergic (BCH) and beta-adrenergic (PMY) receptors. A finding of considerable significance for the treatment of asthma is that corticosteroid drugs triple the number of beta receptors in lung cells (PMY) . Clinical studies include: effect of hypotensive drugs on pulmonary function (ANE); variations in erythromycin absorption (PMY) ; the use of drugs to increase clearance across peritoneal membranes during dialysis (MED), to affect pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis (PED), and to prevent recurrence of myocardial infarction (MED); electron microscopy of tumors to improve chemotherapy (PTH); metabolism of anticonvulsants (NEU); and the alleged effect of antihistamines on corticosteroid metabolism (PMY, PED). The treatment of asthma (PED, PMY, MED), acne and eczema (DER), as well as many types of cancer (MED, ORT and others) is under investigation. Controlled clinical trials are taking place in several disorders, e.g. arthritis (MED), and at least one project (SPM) seeks better methods of designing clinical trials. Finally, adverse effects of chemicals are receiving long overdue attention. Although therapeutic nihilists who wish to abolish advances in therapy are as foolish as the mindless people who think nations can survive indefinitely without nuclear energy, much greater efforts are needed to improve safety in both instances. Adverse drug effects studied here include: reaction between aspirin, Aldomet<~> and the THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �red cell membrane (MED); renal lesions from narcotics (MED); a possible way to decrease or even circumvent the serious liver toxicity of Tylenol® (PMY). Toxic effects of oxygen on lungs and blood vessels are under study (PTH, PGY). The effect of pesticides on immunity (PED) and better methods of treating heavy metal toxicity (PMY) are subjects to research here. A longstanding program of research in hallucinogens (PMY) and in the effects of our most commonly abused drug, alcohol (PMY, ANA), continues to be very active. There is also increasing interest in occupational and environmental health (SPM). 5. The fifth type, a centrifugal cluster, develops when a field begins to expand beyond its traditional boundaries and new areas of investigation are explored. As behavioral research shakes off the constraints of Freudian dogma and is also freed from the unrealistic expectations of the Sixties, when universities were expected to solve all social problems at once (and therefore, quite predictably, solved none). this field has new possibilities. Questions under study include: belief systems and attitudes of professionals (PTY, MED); effect of education on locus of professional practice (FMD); and cost effectiveness of professional training (SPM). The effect of climate on dangerous behavior (PTY) is under study, as are problems ranging from vandalism to the absolute worst of all behavior, genocide, and its effect on survivors (PTY). The role of family practitioners in mental health care (FMD) and in treatment of mentally retarded individuals (PTY) has been examined. There are projects to help families find better ways to cope with asthma (PED) and with release of family members from institutions (PTY). Efforts are under way to improve the design of clinical trials in psychiatry (SPM). to improve the benefit/risk ratio of psychotropic drugs by intermittent therapy plus monitoring (PTY). and to learn why patients drop out of therapeutic programs (PTY). Of interest to all physicians is a study of the reasons for after-hour calls (FMD). In other studies the importance of education and motivation as the key factors in rehabilitation has become apparent (REM). as has the need for more standard methods to evaluate improvement (REM). Attempts to quantify thinking disorders (PTY) and the study of hemispheric dominance (NEU, PTY) FALL, 1979 exemplify another thrust of this general program. Many other research clusters exist at Buffalo. They will usually be found to fall, at least roughly, into one of the above types. Without ranging them in any particular order, several should be called to the reader's attention here. The diagnostic process itself is the subject of much research. This involves computerized tomography (RGY, NEU). a novel form of mass spectroscopy that may aid in clinical diagnosis (BPH, PED, MED). use of voice patterns in diagnosis of laryngeal lesions (OTO), an improved nasopharyngeal biopsy forceps (OTO). fetoscopic studies (GYN) and many developments in noninvasive organ imaging, using radioactive drugs. Pioneering work in scanning bone, brain and pancreas ( MD) has led to many further studies. Methods for visualization of joint cartilage (NMD) as well as mechanisms of uptake of radioactive compounds by bone (NMD, PMY) are under active investigation. Visualization of myocardial infarcts (NMD, PMY, RGY) is a continuing subject of study. Improved efficiency (and thus safety) of roentgenographic techniques is under study (RGY). The urodynamics of female incontinence (GYN), the usefulness of sophisticated analyses of electroencephalographic frequencies (NEU). the possibility of predicting impending stroke by visualizing regional blood flow in the brain (NMD). and the value of thyroid scans in head and neck cancer (OTO) are subjects of research. Correlations are being sought between X-ray findings and pain in joints (REM), between colposcopic appearance and histologic findings (GYN). But the most sophisticated instruments in medicine are still the physician and the patient. Therefore research on algorithms for diagnosis of depression (PTY). self-examination for early diagnosis of head and neck cancer (OTO). and the correlation between physical findings and pathology of the prostate (PTH, URO) are worth noting. Buffalo is famous for developing methods for neonatal diagnosis of metabolic disorders (PED, BCH). especially those likely to cause mental retardation, and this research fits in with a broad program of genetic research (PED, BCH, MED, GYN, MIC). Teratology research is particularly directed at brain and palate (PTH). Buffalo is also famous for pioneering work 9 d- �- in fertility and fertility control (GYN). Basic studies include an investigation of the way in which eggs and sperm identify each other (ANA), a process that fortunately must take place somehow, else you would not be reading this page. Endocrine studies range from experimental work on hypothalamic obesity (MED) to very successful use of growth hormone in certain children (PED). There is active research on the thyroid (MED) and adrenal (BCH, PTH) glands as well as diabetes (PED, MED, SPM). Pioneering work on cortisol transport in the blood was conducted in Buffalo (BCH). A strong program of basic work on aging (ANA) is complemented by clinical groups (NEU, PTH) and by a new geriatrics program of growing vigor (MED). There are significant clusters of research on vision (PGY, ANA, BPH), hypertension (BCH, MED, PTH) and blood (MED, ANA, PED, BCH, GYN). Some parts of the vast, centripetal group of cancer studies have been noted above in connection with other clusters. Additional research in the search-for-new-knowledge category is aimed at detecting or exploring differences between the cytoskeleton of normal and cancer cells (ANA), differences between the strong response to heterophile antigen in infectious mononucleosis and the weak response in lymphoma or leukemia (MIC), characteristics of tumor antigens (MIC), remote effects of cancer on the peripheral nervous system (NEU) and the significance of galactosyl-transferase in cancer patients (MED). End-in-view research includes not only the various cancer chemotherapy studies described above but also a study showing that operative treatment is preferable in fractures secondary to cancer (ORT), an evaluation of intravenous hyperalimentation in cancer patients (SUR, OTO) and a study of treatment of neoplasms of the central nervous system in children (NEU). There is also an investigation of a suggested effect of hyperbaric hydrogen on cancer cells (PGY). A key department in many cancer studies is, of course, Pathology. In the field of cancer, the special importance of the Roswell Park Memorial Institute is so great that it would be impossible to do it justice 10 --------- - within the confines of this issue. However, a brief summary of the Institute's program, which has many interfaces with the cancer research of the School of Medicine described here, will be found after the departmental summaries in this issue. Although the present issue has otherwise been devoted solely to the research of the School of Medicine, cooperative studies with other Schools of the University, especially other Health Science Schools, are numerous and fruitful. This analysis has been partial in both senses of the word. Individual pieces of research that do not easily fit into some cluster are often extremely important. Although the number of noxious substances known to batter the poor liver is already so great that it seems almost churlish to suggest another, work on the role of endotoxin as a cause of liver damage (MED) is certainly interesting. Old ideas are constantly challenged and even our once "well-established" ideas of ganglionic transmission are now being modified (PMY). In their search for better ways to understand, diagnose, prevent and treat disease, the curiosity of our faculty members is in a very healthy state, whether they are investigating prostaglandin synthesis in the renal medullary body (BCH, MED, PTH) or evaluating the usefulness of saphenous vein by-pass grafts to improve perfusion (MED). I regret that constraints of space have made it necessary to omit mention of many valuable studies in this summary. I have no way of predicting which studies will eventually be shown, fifty years from now, to have been the most important research conducted here this year. But all in all, it was a good vintage year. Edward A. Carr, Jr., M.D. Professor, Chairman of Pharmacology and Therapeutics; Professor of Medicine THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN .. �Anatomical Sciences DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMICAL SCIENCES, in addition to a major teaching program which has made it well known to physicians trained at U/B, has a multi-faceted research program encompassing reproductive biology, cell motility, the nervous system, morphological hematology, histochemistry and functional morphology. The department's electron microscope with its associated highly trained technical staff are available to scientists from all of the health sciences research programs. This important resource permits very sophisticated studies, and its central operation makes for efficiency and accuracy in the research to which it is applied. Further acquisition of technical equipment such as a scanning electron microscope will be an essential step toward the further development of the basic technical capability of the Medical School. It will also attract and support significant research programs in the basic medical sciences. Several members of the faculty in Anatomical Sciences are engaged in research on reproductive processes. Robert Summers uses invertebrates as model systems to find out how the egg and sperm identify and adhere to each other. His findings are likely to give clues to the mystery of how cells recognize each other and organize as tissues and organs during embryonic development. He is also trying to develop a diagnostic tool for assessing problems of male infertility. In collaboration with Jack Lippes of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, he is studying the role of human oviductal fluid in fertilization. Herbert Schuel is working on the mechanism for establishing the block to polyspermy during fertilization. This is a critical aspect of reproduction, since penetration of the egg by more than one sperm results in abnormal development and eventual death of the embryo or fetus. Sea urchin ova are being used as a model system to study this process. Dr. Schuel has isolated secretory THE Departmental summaries were prepared by Barbara Mierzwa in collaboration with the chairpersons of each department of the School of Medicine and other members of the faculty designated by the chairpersons. FALL, 1979 (cortical] granules from sea urchin eggs, and shown that they contain a protease resembling pancreatic trypsin. The protease is secreted by the eggs during fertilization and promotes the modification of the egg's surface to prevent additional sperm from entering. He has also gathered evidence that the protease helps to open the secretory granules in sea urchin eggs which then disperse their contents. Similar reactions may be involved in the release of secretory products by all cells. Barry Eckert is also interested in the cellular level of biological activity and structure. Using antibodies that bind to proteins of the cytoskeleton, he has developed a technique for identifying and studying these proteins under the electron microscope. His methodology promises to have applications in understanding differences between normal and malignant cells. John Cotter studies the nervous system, especially its components involved in vision. He is seeking to describe the efferent projections from the accessory optic nuclei and to explain the way in which certain eye movements are generated. The structural effects of alcohol upon the central nervous system are being investigated by Roberta Pentney. Her work adds a new dimension to the traditional physiological and pharmacological approaches to the study of alcoholism. She has already shown that there is damage at the level of the mitochondria within cerebellar Purkinje cells. She has observed that internal membranes of the mitochondria appear to break down under the influence of ethanol. Using reinnervated muscle from neonatal rats, Frances Sansone has shown the persistence of myotubes which appear to be innervated. It is hoped that physiological manipulation may shed light on normal muscle maturation. This work is supported by the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Dr. Sansone is also studying the morphology of cells lining the central canal and ventricles in chicken central nervous system. In the course of this work she has discovered in certain areas of the ventricles the presence of tanycytes, specialized epen~ dymal cells which have retained a tail process. These cells may have special transport properties related to neuroendocrine function. d- 11 �Dean L. Bloch , Ahmad A. Attallah, Dr. Rolf A.K. Stohl, Dr. Jam es B. Lee, and Audrey G. Lee, all members of the hypertension laboratory staff. Richard Webber is studying guppies' peculiar sympathetic trunk which extends into their head region. Insights provided by analysis of this phenomenon may be applied to human development. Dr. Webber is also pursuing the strange finding of mast cells in autonomic ganglia. Theoretically, they should not be there; yet, there they are. He conclusively demonstrated the influence of autonomic activity upon the release of blood cells, using histochemical techniques. His work settled considerable controversy on this issue. Research on the effects of aging upon the central nervous system is conducted by Harold Brody. One of his on-going projects involves collaboration with researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle on the question of neurotransmitter release and endocrine function in the hypothalamus. With another group at the University of Chicago, he is examining morphological changes in anatomical structures related to sleep and circadian rhythms as a function of age. He is also a co-investigator in a Duke University-based study of changes in the central nervous system of- elderly patients. They have been examined for more than 25 years as part of this longitudinal study of functional changes with age. Chester Glomski, has been devoted to research in hemopoiesis, experimental and comparative hematology. He is currently 12 developing a full hematological profile of a newly discovered laboratory rodent, the Mongolian Gerbel. It is one of the rare animals whose red cells exhibit basophilic stippling throughout life, a morphologic phenomenon observed in man only under abnormal conditions. This unique feature together with other unusual hematopoietic and physiologic characteristics makes this species particularly valuable as an experimental subject. In association with oral biologist Joseph Gong, Dr. Glomski is also carrying out experiments to assess the deleterious effects of ultra-low doses of radiation upon hemopoiesis in the bone marrow and other blood forming organs. Lipid histochemistry has been a longstanding area of research for E. Russell Hayes. He developed methods involving the plasmal reaction, enabling detection of unsaturated fatty acids. Recently he established the absence of free aldehydes in cells. Applied studies on the lipid-like secretions of the Harderian gland and on the Stannius body in bony fish have added to what is known about comparative histology and histochemistry. Bats, tree shrews and sloths are the exotic subjects for research studies on the relationships between anatomical structures and function and their evolution. Frank Kallen's measurements of electrical activity in the contractile wing veins of bats (being done in collaborat_ion with Perry Hogan, Physiology) are pointing to the beginnings of what seems to be a primitive pacemaker system. Likewise, information derived from Frank Mendel's research on the suspensory behavior of the sloth is providing leads to understanding the evolution of human shoulder mobility. In related primate studies, Dale Fish is correlating motion pictures of the tree shrew's mastication movements with electrical potentials measured during chewing. Research on these animals is contributing to knowledge about the chewing apparatus and the development of structure-function relationships in primates. The department is also supporting a very active program of research for graduate students. These students are working on problems within the area of specialization of the faculty as noted above and are important co-workers in the research productivity of the department. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Anesthesiology THE EFFECTS of various types of anesthetic and surgical procedure upon pulmonary gas exchange have been the focus of a major collaborative research program between the Departments of Anesthesiology and Physiology. Robert Schuder in Anesthesiology and John Plewes in Physiology now guide this long and productive program. Members of their research team are measuring the elimination pattern of several inert gases of differing solubility concomitantly with cardiac output and ventilation. By describing the lung as a series of compartments, they are able to evaluate the efficiency of gas exchange. A reduction of blood pressure is occasionally desirable for cardiac surgery, neurosurgery and other procedures associated with copious blood loss. The search for safe and effective hypotensive agents has involved animal studies of trimethaphan, a ganglionic blocker, and nitroprusside, a vasodilator. Experiments have shown that trimethapan interferes with gas exchange and reduces cardiac output. Nitroprusside, on the other hand, appears to have a negligible effect on cardiac output and gas exchange and to be the safer agent for inducing hypotension. Control of ventilation has always been a special problem in surgery on the lung itself. A series of investigations has revealed that the use of a double lumen endotracheal tube to ventilate each lung separately can minimize arterial hypoxia and virtually eliminate contamination of one lung by debris from the operated lung. At the Buffalo General Hospital, Richard Terry has been studying ways to improve the speed and efficiency of administering red cells during surgery and to protect the integrity of the red cells. His investigations of various diluents for red cells have, so far, led to the identification of lactated Ringer's without dextrose as the most practical solution. And, in association with the cardiac surgeons, the anesthesiologists are developing methods for evaluating the safety of different cardioplegic solutions. This work promises to help physicians to select solutions that will provide maximum protection for patients on heart/lung machines. FALL, 1979 Biochemistry THE VIGOR of research in biochemistry may be traced back to the tenure of Richard Winzler in the 1960's. By recruiting faculty with expertise in glycoproteins and molecular enzymology, he added to the department's existing strength in neuro-chemistry and plasma protein chemistry. Most recently, the department has been expanded to include scientists working on membrane structure and biogenesis as well as gene expression. Thus, several clusters of faculty sharing research interests, ideas and facilities comprise the faculty at the present time. The Gene Expression cluster includes Michael Garrick who had been associated with Robert Guthrie in Pediatrics and Microbiology in the development of the newborn screening test for sickle cell anemia. Dr. Garrick is now recognized as an authority on the biosynthesis and genetics of rodent hemoglobins. Other members of this cluster, Edward Niles, David Rekosh and Richard Condit, are investigating fundamental aspects of the function of the genome. With NIH support Dr. Niles is carrying out studies of the transciption of ribosomal DNA while Dr. Rekosh is investigating molecular aspects of protein synthesis and nucleic acid replication using the adenovirus model system. His training in this field took place in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate, David Baltimore. Dr. Condit's approach to the problem of genome organization makes use of viruses carrying conditionally lethal mutations. The Proteins and Metalloenzymes cluster has been active in graduate education, stimulated and facilitated by a high and continuous level of extramural funding for its various research projects. As founding members of the Bioinorganic Group, Murray Ettinger and Daniel Kosman have collaborated with their colleagues in the Chemistry Department in the study of copper-containing enzymes. Dr. Ettinger and Frank Szoka are also seeking to describe the mechanism of action of antidiuretic hormone on the kidney. In another project Dr. Ettinger is gathering data on hepatic copper metabolism which may further understanding of Wilson's disease, hepatolenticular degeneration. 13 d- �- - - ~ brane proteins utilizing his expertise in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In one NIH-funded project he is examining cholesterol interactions in serum and membrane proteins. He is also engaged in a study of cholesterol behavior in human serum lipoproteins. This area of investigation supported by the American Heart Association promises to expand what is known about cholesterol-transporting lipoproteins which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease. Rakesh Jain , Dr. Murray Ettinger. Moises Derechin has examined many aspects of the physico-chemical behavior of enzymes. His work with Gramicidin A provides a model for the effect of pressure on biologic systems. Robert Noble, who was an Established Investigator of the American Heart Association, is highly regarded for his work on ligand binding to hemoglobin. He also collaborates with Morris Reichlin of the Department of Medicine on studies of hemoglobin antibodies. Among the newest clusters of faculty is the one focused upon Membranes. Karen Ferguson's experimental work is related to membrane biogenesis and specifically, the control of fatty acid composition of membrane phospholipids. Her findings suggest that the sterol composition of membranes may control the fluidity of the membrane through effects on fatty acid desaturation. Philip Yeagle is also interested in membrane biochemistry. He is analyzing mem14 The Endorcinology cluster consists of W. Roy Slaunwhite, John Moran and Alexander Brownie. Dr. Slaunwhite is attempting to determine the structure of transcortin, the cortisol transport plasma protein which he and Avery Sandberg first described in 1959. His findings are necessary for understanding how steroids bind to proteins and to receptors with major significance for hormone action. Dr. Slaunwhite's current findings about the effect of prolactin on the metabolism of the prostate may result in the development of improved cancer therapy. His collaborator in this project has been Wells Farnsworth at the V.A. Medical Center. Chairman Alexander Brownie directs a research team involving faculty from the Department of Pathology, Samuel Gallant and Peter Nickerson. Their main effort is concentrated upon the pathogenesis of experimental hypertension. They have already found that 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC) is hypertensogenic associated with adrenal cortical dysfunction. This provides a model for a small percentage of the low renin subgroup of essential hypertensives. Another aspect of their research is related to the control of adrenal steroid production with emphasis upon the interaction between ACTH action and the key cytochrome P450 enzymes of the adrenal cortex. John Moran's research on the adrenergicreceptor is carried out with David Triggle of the Department of Biochemical Pharmacology. His recent work with George Sayers at Case Western Reserve University emphasizes the role of ions in the response of adrenal cortical cells to ACTH. The Metabolism and Nutrition cluster consists of Willard Elliott, Jack Klingman, Rapier McMenamy and Benjamin Sanders. Dr. Elliott, whose previous work was on the THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �electron transport system of cells, has now moved into the area of snake and insect venoms which affect major phospholipases. His interest in insect venoms has resulted in a productive collaboration with Carl Arbesman, Director of the Allergy Research Laboratory of the Department of Medicine. Dr. Klingman 's research is concerned with the metabolism of lipids in the nervous system. With Dr. J. Lee (Medicine) and Dr. A. Prezyna (Pathology), he is exploring prostaglandin biosynthesis in the renal medullary body. Dr. McMenamy is the biochemist in the research team studying human critical illness. With John Border and John Siegel in the Department of Surgery, he has been looking for metabolic signals which presage improvement or decline in the clinical status of severely traumatized patients. From sophisticated computer analyses of plasma amino acids, such signals have been discovered and are being applied to the treatment of these patients. After a long research career in plasma protein purification and characterization, Dr. Sanders is now heading the newly formed Multidisciplinary Group in the Nutrititional Sciences. This University-Wide Group aims to increase research and education in nutrition in the University by providing the necessary impetus and organization for this important area of health science. Biophysical Sciences BIOPHYSICAL SCIENCES comprise a large number of subdisciplines all of which apply principles and methods of physics and chemical physics to problems in biology and medicine. The Department of Biophysical Sciences is engaged in a very wide spectrum of research activities representing each of the three major domains of the biophysical sciences, namely: theoretical biophysics, experimental biophysics, and applied biophysics, clinical biophysics in particular. The first two areas are of fundamental nature with the objectives of gaining a better understanding of the mechanisms of biological processes. The objective of applied biophysics is to solve clinical, environmental or ecological problems by applying inFALL , 1979 struments and methodologies originating in mathematics, physics , and physical chemistry. The current departmental activities in theoretical biophysics include a study of stochastic kinetics, of thermodynamics of membrane transport, of models of information transfer in the nervous system, and of models of the evolution of the genetic code. Many intracellular reactions involve just a few molecules of a kind in a confined region of the cell. These are conditions where the classical statistical laws of chemical kinetics, which depend on the concentrations of reactants, do not apply. New theoretical approaches, describing the behavior of subcellular systems, are the objective of an ongoing research project in the Department under the direction of Robert Spangler. Similar stochastic approaches are being applied by the same researchers to model chemical oscillators responsible for cellular periodic behavior, such as occur in the heart muscle. The transport of ions and molecules through biological membranes is the key to many biological processes and probably is the key to the phenomenon of life itself. The study of the behavior of biological membranes is the subject of three separate research groups in the Department. Two experimental studies directed by S. Ohki and C. Jung involve the transport of inorganic ions and of sugars, respectively, through biological membranes. In the theoretical field, a study carried out by V. S. Vaidyanathan is aimed at developing specific thermodynamic approaches for tackling such material transfer processes. Interesting, in particular, is an attempt to calculate the ele ctrical potential of excitable membran es, which depends on ion transport, from first princi pies . The nervous system comprises information gathering by biosensors information transfer by neurons, and information storage and retrieval in the brain. Research is proceeding at the Department on the theory of function of biosensors, the eye in particular, and of the modes of information transfer through the network of neurons. This work directed by N. Liebovic is comple~ented by experimental studies on information processing in the mammalian retina. A fourth area of ongoing endeavors in 15 d- �theoretical biophysics involves a new insight in the possible mechanisms of evolution of the genetic code. Assuming that oligonucleotides could have been produced under prebiotic conditions, V. Bedian is calculating the simplest ways by which these could evolve into a self-replicating information carrying system. A special area of research in this Department under the direction of F. Snell involves modeling of the global energy balance which determines the overall behavior of the biosphere. Biophysics thus encompasses the study of biological systems as small as a single biopolymeric molecule or a subcellular structure, and as large and complex as all known forms of life on this planet taken together as a single system. Fundamental experimental biophysics is represented in the Department by a research program on the characteristics of contractible proteins, in addition to studies of membrane transport and neuron excitability mentioned above. There is also a study of coupling of biological oscillators and an investigation of the mechanism of membrane fusion aimed at understanding the mode of release of neurotransmitters. Contractible proteins like myosin are of interest not only in the study of muscle but also for the understanding of cellular function in general where similar proteins are responsible for the mitotic process, as well as for the motility of cells. The ongoing research, under the direction of R. Zobel involves the use of electron microscopy, electrophoresis, and ultracentrifugation in elucidation of the organization of these unique protein molecules into filaments. A related study, focused on the pseudopods of platelets, is attempting to locate actin and myosin within cells and thus get a better understanding of cell motility. The fusion of biomembranes seems to be a prerequsite in the rapid release of neurotransmitter at the nerve ends. Ongoing research on artificial membranes is aimed at gaining a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of this process which seems to be activated by calcium ions. The mechanism of transport of sugars into the living cell is of primary interest not only for the study of cellular nutrition, where it may become a limiting factor of cellular metabolism, but also for the general un16 Dr. Jam e s M cR eyn old s derstanding of protein mediated membrane transport phenomena. The research program on sugar transport in this Department puts it in a unique leading role in this important field . Many clinical problems call for biophysical methodologies as the most effective solution. This Department has active research on a wide range of problems in applied biophysics, under the direction of M. Anbar, including diagnosis of disease by multicomponent analysis of metabolites, study of nutritional pathways in the septic state, study of the special nutritional needs of the heart muscle under hypothermal conditions, monitoring of cell proliferation and of cellular response to ultraviolet light and ionizing radiation in vivo using nonradioactive tracers, investigation of the parameters involved in the transport of local anesthetics into nervous cells, study of the modes of action of inhibitors of dental caries, as well as of the mechanisms of calcification of teeth and of pathological calcification. The development of a reliable calcium microelectrode is a related research problem. Two other topics in clinical biophysics are under the direction of Drs. Anbar and Wobschall, respectively. The former is studying the potential diagnostic uses of absorption of ultrasonic radiation in tissue. The latter is investigating the changes in the electrical imTHE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �pedance across artificial membranes loaded with specific antibodies for the quantitative determination of extremely low concentrations of antigens. A few of these research activities will be described in further detail. Non-fragmenting ionization is a unique method in mass spectrometry which can yield in a few minutes molecular weight profiles of hundreds of metabolites in biological fluids. A molecular weight profile represents quantitatively the relative concentrations of the constituents of a complex mixture sorted out according to their molecular weights. The investigation of these profiles, say in human urine, reveals significant differences due to pathological processes. This approach is being applied by J. McReynolds, R. Abbott and M. Scanlon in collaboration with P. Ogra and H. Faden of the Departments of Pediatrics and Medicine, to the diagnosis of pneumonia and other respiratory infectious diseases, as well as to the diagnosis of infectious hepatitis. Other disorders under investigation include differential diagnosis of viral pneumonia and other viral infections. Another application of the same experimental technique is the identification of bacteria and of viruses through their metabolic products in cultures. The Department maintains a leading role in this area of research. The multiorgan fai1ure in the septic state of critically ill patients poses a severe challenge to the clinician. These patients exhibit significant metabolic aberrations which, if better understood, might lead to improved treatment procedures. The Department is contributing to the solution of this problem by collaborating with J. Border, F. Cerra, and J. Siegel of the Department of Surgery and by developing methodologies based on the use of non-radioactive iostopes as metabolic tracers. Mass spectrometry is the only instrumental technique available for such problems; a unique mass spectrometer capable of quantitative determination of minute amounts of singly labeled compounds such as N 15 or C13 labeled amino acids is at the core of this research problem. A related problem is the identification of specific nutritional needs of the heart muscle under hypothermal conditions, required for open heart surgery. The use of non-radioactive tracers allows the study of the metabolic behavior of the human heart in vivo, and FALL, 1979 may lead, in collaboration with J. Siegel and P. Scott of the Department of Surgery, to the development of a more effective balanced nutrient mixture to be infused during surgery. The measurement in vivo of the rate of tumor cell proliferation following chemotherapy or radiation therapy is the most direct measure of the efficacy of cancer treatment. Using thymidine labeled by non-radioactive isotopes also makes it possible to gain a better understanding of the photobiological and radiation biological behavior of cells in tissue cultures, with the objective of determining whether cellular response remains the same at very low doses of radiation. This study, made possible by the unique mass spectrometric instrumentation of the Department, has direct bearing on the critical question of the existence of a threshold level of radiation or of environmental carcinogens below which no cancer induction would occur. The mode of action of local anesthetics is another topic in clinical biophysics under investigation in the Department. This research under the direction of S. Ohki which involves a combination of methodologies of pharmacology and neurophysiology, has demonstrated the mode of transfer of these agents through the cell membrane and measured its rate. This may lead to improvements in the design of new local anesthetic agents. The use of fluorine-carrying polymeric polyphosphonates as specific fluorine carriers which allow highly effective localized transfer of fluoride ions to tooth surfaces is the subject of another research project in clinical biophysics carried out by Drs. Anbar, Dimetrijevich and Rath in collaboration with the Department of Oral Biology. This novel pharmacological application is based on the unique kinetic behavior of polyelectrolytes. Using ion specific electrodes as well as Auger spectroscopy, it is intended to use the same reagents to elucidate the mode of action of fluoride ions on teeth. Another related topic under investigation is the exploration of the potential use of these reagents for the treatment of pathological calcification and of osteoporosis, both being important disorders of old age. This research will involve, in its later stages, a collaborative effort with the Center for the Study of Aging. 17 d- �These ongoing fundamental and applied research activities illustrate not only the extensive scope of biophysics but also demonstrate the response of the Department to a large variety of crucial problems in the biomedical sciences. The Department thus fulfills a dual role by training fundamental biophysicists and contributing to basic knowledge, as well as by educating medical students and collaborating with different clinical departments in efforts to develop and improve new clinical techniques. Dermatology STATURE of the Department of Dermatology is in part related to its history and its geographic location. As the only dermatologic center between Albany and Cleveland, it serves a large population of varied socio-economic and ethnic groups. This enormous and interesting pool of patients provides a rich source of clinical data on both common and less frequently observed skin disorders. It also contributes to the vitality of the department's research and educational activities. The department was one of the few originally approved for residency training when the American Board of Dermatology was founded in 1932. Since then, the department has been in the mainstream of academic dermatology. Its current standing as a research and training center is a product of a succession of leaders in dermatology including Grover Wende, Earl Osborne and Richard Dobson. Among its most widely recognized achievements has been the development of immunofluorescence as a diagnostic and investigative tool by immunologist Ernst Beu tner, Professor of Micro biology and Research Professor of Dermatology. Application of this technique by members of the department has been of great value in investigating the immunopathogenesis of a variety of skin disorders and has led to improved methods of diagnosis and treatment. Thomas Provost, in collaboration with Morris THE 18 Reichlin and others, has defined subsets of systemic lupus erythematosus which have distinctive mucocutaneous features and different prevalences of renal disease. Drs. Provost and O'Loughlin have demonstrated the value of monitoring serum and in vivo bound pemphigus antibody in regulating immunosuppressive and/or corticosteroid therapy of pemphigus patients. Drs. Provost, Maize and Ahmed have described the probable pathogenic role of cutaneous basement membrane zone antibodies and complement in bullous pemphigoid and the synergistic actions of azathioprine and corticosteroids in treatment of that disease. The clinical studies of James E. Rasmussen, Head of the Division of Pediatric Dermatology, have contributed to the improved management of children with StevensJohnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. Dr. Rasmussen has defined the natural history of these life-threatening disorders in children and the lack of rationale for systemic corticosteroid therapy. Studies on immunologic reactions in children with ringworm of the scalp have provided fresh insights into the clinical behavior of the disease as well as a rational basis for effective therapy. He has shown that the patient's immune response (cell-mediated immunity) may be responsible for kerion reactions in Trichophyton tonsurans scalp infections suggesting that therapy should be initially directed towards suppressing this reaction. Under the direction of John C. Maize, the Division of Dermatopathology has become a major referral center for physicians in all parts of the country. His work on diseases of the pigment cell has led to several publications. A textbook on pigmented tumors of the skin is now in preparation. Drs. Maize and Feibleman, in a large-scale study of malignant melanomas of the hands and feet, have contributed to the understanding of the biologic behavior and microscopic morphology of acrallentiginous melanomas, a fourth major subset of primary cutaneous malignant melanoma. In addition to his responsibilities as director of the department's undergraduate teaching activities, Burton S. Belknap has been active in studies in clinical pharmacology. These have led to improved therapy for patients with acne, eczema and psoriasis. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Family Medicine Internal Medicine RESEARCH IN FAMILY MEDICINE serves and supplements its basic commitment to training family physicians. Although it is one of the newest departments of the Medical School, it has succeeded in carrying out research related to the central concerns of this branch of medicine. Specifically, these studies have been aimed at improving physician-patient interactions and providing services in medically underserved areas. With the support of the Erie County Department of Health and assistance from the University's behavioral scientists, mental health services provided by physicians have been subject to systematic investigation. This project showed that in comparison with physicians specializing in internal medicine, family physicians were used more often by patients seeking mental health services. As a follow-up to this study, data were obtained using video-taped interviews between patients and physicians on the nature and frequency of psychosocial problems mentioned by patients. Analysis of these data is still going on. In cooperation with researchers at the University of North Carolina, after hours calls from patients to family physicians are being recorded and analyzed in terms of their content. After having identified common problems for which patients seek after-hours assistance, training programs for primary care physicians will be reviewed- and subsequently revised - to prepare trainees to handle these problems. The impact of curricular changes has also been examined. A review of the effect of two months of university health or community service experience upon the practice location chosen by graduates suggests that even this brief experience has led to an increased number of graduates practicing in New York State and in medically underserved areas. DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE maintains a strong research program to support medical education and patient service. Thirty of its 37 active researchers receive grant support from outside the University. The Department derives vitality from the dynamic interaction between its research activities and clinical services. Because basic research is carried out in the teaching hospitals affiliated with the Medical School throughout the community, a productive relationship among scientific investigation, education and medical care has developed. The many collaborative programs between faculty in the basic science departments and those in the clinical departments also contribute to the vigor of the scholarly endeavors of the departments and of the School. The Department of Medicine is organized into divisions, each with its own clinical and research programs. FALL, 1979 Division of Cardiology Under the leadership of Francis Klocke , the Division is conducting a major NIHsponsored program on cardiovascular pathophysiology. A principal focus of the research program is coronary circulation. Having developed unique technology for ac- The computerized rhythm and pump monitoring system . 19 d- �curately measuring total and regional coronary blood flow, researchers have applied this to coronary and other cardiac disorders. They have succeeded in detailing the relationship between the degree of arterial obstruction and regional blood flow in coronary patients using, in part, concepts developed from a bio-engineer's model of stenosis. They have also found that regional flow deficits are more common than suspected in coronary patients. Furthermore, patients can "protect" a diseased area by allowing it to work at a lower-than-normal pace. Recently, the Division has identified a hitherto unsuspected "back pressure" to flow within the heart, which appears to have a significant role in normal and abnormal flow regulation. Other topics of current scientific interest include: neurogenic mechanisms influencing coronary flow; myocardial collateral circulation; metabolic consequences of myocardial ischemia and instantaneous pressure-flow relationships within the coronary bed; and the evaluation of saphenous vein by-pass grafts for improving perfusion. The use of serum myoglobin as an index of myocardial ischemia and/or infarction is being investigated in cooperation with the Division of Immunology. These investigations also encompass myoglobin's basic role in local tissue oxygen delivery. Faculty members are also participating in the follow-up phase of the Veterans' Administration randomized trial of surgery for unstable angina at the V.A. Medical Center. Robert Kohn directs projects at the Buffalo General Hospital on the prevention of reinfarction by use of beta blockers as well as the effect of Persantine<~> on the outcome of coronary artery disease. Also at the General Hospital, David Greene and Ivan Bunnell are conducting a long range follow-up of open heart surgery patients. Statistical information is now available on over 99.6 % of 875 operated on between 1968 and 1976. Division of Endocrinology Paul Davis is studying mechanisms of action of thyroid hormone. He and his coinvestigator, Richard Blanchard, have shown that extraordinarily low concentrations of this hormone have a direct effect on the cellular sodium pump. They have also demonstrated the clinical feasibility of measuring in20 tercellular bound and free triiodothyronine. Stephen Spaulding and Robert LaMantia have been clarifying the role of thyroid hormone in the regulation of growth hormone secretion. The biochemical process by which thyrotropin action on the thyroid is initiated is a particular interest of Dr. Spaulding. Meanwhile, Jack Goldman has been studying animal models of hypothalamic obesity and neuroendocrine aspects of the control of carbohydrate metabolism. Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Milton M. Weiser heads this division as he simultaneously pursues a multifaceted program of research. He has found a serum enzyme known as galactosyltransferase in 70 % of patients with different kinds of cancer. In related work, Dr. Weiser's group is seeking an explanation for their finding that the galactosyltransferase acceptor kills cancer cells, not normal ones. Intestinal cell differentiation in plasma membrane formation is also being investigated by Dr. Weiser and his associates. They are correlating changes in the plasma membrane in the intestinal cell with cell differentiation. The Liver Study Unit of this division under James Nolan and Alan Leibowitz has been concentrating on the role of endotoxin in liver disease. They postulate that the failure of the liver to detoxify endotoxins may increase hepatic damage and lead to extra manifestations of liver disease, too. Division of Infectious Disease Over the past five years this division has followed three major directions of research. Neisseria} cell wall antigens involving both the meningococci and gonococci have commanded the attention of Michael Apicella and Jack Breen. Studies of central nervous system penetration by antibiotics have been designed by James C. Allen and Thomas Beam. Their experiments are aimed at the delineation of regional differences in antibiotic concentration and, ultimately, the explanation of certain therapeutic failures in acute bacterial meningitis. Dr. Allen has attempted to correlate deficits in phagocytic activity with various bacterial infections in man. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Division of Pulmonary Diseases Pulmonary research in the Department of Medicine has been focused upon the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen and the factors limiting the speed of this exchange. The enzyme carbonic anhydrase has been shown to be the key catalyst in this exchange, and its concentration in lung tissue may be of great significance in lung disease. A clinical study has revealed that inhalation of pure oxygen, even for only 30 minutes, may produce an increase in arteriovenous shunting in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease. These findings may be of extreme importance in the therapeutic use of oxygen in these compromised patients. Division of Medical Genetics Work in the Department of Medicine's Division of Medical Genetics at the Buffalo General Hospital is integrated with the parallel Division of Human Genetics at the Children's Hospital. Co-ordination of both divisions is the responsibility of Robin Bannerman. Dr. John Edwards, in collaboration with Dr. Bannerman, has had a long research interest in inherited hypochromic anemias of rodents. He was stimulated initially by a quest to find an animal model of human thalassemia. Each of the hypochromic anemias investigated to date have proved to be due to abnormalities in iron metabolism. It has been shown that sex-linked anemia of the mouse is due to intestinal malabsorption of iron. Microcytic anemia of the mouse, is due to a defect in the entry of iron into intestinal muscosal and erythroid cells. Belgrade anemia of the rat is due to an abnormality in the delivery of iron to the developing red cell. These studies on the genetic control of intestinal iron absorption and erythroid cell iron uptake and delivery should prove helpful in the understanding, prevention and treatment of such human ailments as iron deficiency and iron overload. Division of Nephrology and Hypertension This division's research program is related to mechanisms of sodium and water transport across epithelial membranes. Using necturus gallbladder and the proximal tubule of the necturus, this group is also carrying out elecFALL, 1979 The catheterization laboratory. tronmicroscopic studies of normal and altered membranes. Daphne Hare has looked at the flux across membranes in conjunction with her colleagues in the Biophysics Department. Dr. Mookerjee is interested in the immunologic properties of mononuclear cells in relation to renal disease and the suppressive therapy used in transplantation. The Renal Group has also devoted itself to the control of renal blood flow and function in patients with cirrhosis and congestive heart failure. Animal models are also being studied to corroborate these clinical studies, which are under the direction of Rocco Venuto. He is also studying the role of hormones in the control of blood pressure during pregnancy. At the Erie County Medical Center, the Renal Group has several clinically oriented research interests including: the kidney lesion associated with intravenous narcotic use; the role of endotoxin in acute renal failure; and the use of drugs to increase clearance across the peritoneal membrane during dialysis. 21 d- �In the Hypertension section of this division, James Lee and his associates are extending their studies on the role of prostaglandins in essential hypertension. Dr. Lee has won international acclaim for his work in this important area and in particular for his thesis that hypertension may not always be directly related to a circulating substance that causes the constriction of vessels. Rather, he has suggested, hypertension may be due to a failure of the kidney to produce an antagonist to this vascular effect. Division of Clinical Immunology The definition of serological reactions that are characteristic of connective tissue disease, especially systemic lupus erythematosus and the polymyositis syndromes, has been a goal of this group. Its director, Morris Reichlin, works with Peter Maddison, who has been purifying antigens reactive with the sera of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and with Masahiko Nishikai, who purifies these antigens from patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Their research has led to new diagnostic tests for these diseases and to more accurate prediction of prognoses in individual patients. Dr. Reichlin has maintained a major collaborative research program with biochemist Robert Noble. Together they have been working on the elucidation of the antigenic structure of proteins and have already contributed new knowledge about antibody diversity. Dr. Noble's specialty is structurefunction relationships in hemoglobin. Division of Medical Oncology Edward Henderson has been acting head of this division and in this capacity he continues to coordinate very closely the programs at the Erie County Medical Center, the Buffalo General Hospital, Veterans Administration Medical Center and Roswell Park Memorial Institute. The sum of the efforts in these different locations has been impressive, making Buffalo a leader in the development of new and effective therapies for leukemias, lymphomas and disseminated cancers, including the use of new drugs. Research is now aimed at separating normal from malignant cells to define their interactions, individual controls and their separate responses to treatment. This work may enable the tailoring of specific treatments for individual patients and lead to the development of appropriate combinations of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation for treating metastatic cancers. Monica Spaulding has established ties with other medical centers in her oncology group's program of research on various forms of treating malignant disease, primarily solid tumors. Ma ureen Cannon, Dr. Robe rt Klock e Division of Allergy This division has been involved in research on the immunology of immediatetype hypersensitivity reactions and diseases such as hay fever, asthma and stinging insect hypersensitivity. Current investigation of the immunopharmacology of immediate hypersensitivity reactions and pharmacokinetic studies of theophylline and corticosteroids in asthma promise to add to the understanding of the roles of . immunoglobulins E, G and A in allergies. The work with stinging insects and hay fever has been directed by Carl Arbesman and Robert Reisman. Elliott Middleton, division head, has been carrying out pharmacokinetic studies as well as research on the metabolic abnormalities found in induced asthma. 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Division of Rheumatology Basic research on structure-function relationships of membranes, especially red blood cell membranes, involves biochemical studies of Rh antigenic activity and its relationship to red cell membrane function in health and in certain diseases. Another component of this research deals with the interaction of drugs like aspirin and 'alpha methyldopa with the red blood cell membrane. Floyd Green is director of this division, whose work is supported by grants from the NIH and from the Veterans Administration. A second general area of investigation is arthritis. Non-invasive procedures such as joint scanning are being assessed in terms of their effectiveness in permitting the identification and measurement of joint inflammation. The Department of Nuclear Medicine has been a major collaborator in this program which also includes controlled clinical trials of new drugs for arthritis. Division of Geriatrics/ Gerontology Evan Calkins has assumed responsibility for this division while pursuing his interest in amyloid disease. Although it has been considered a rare disorder having only theoretical interest, amyloidosis has been shown to include several specific syndromes. Furthermore, each of them seems to derive from the accumulation of amyloid fibrils with divergent but characteristic amino acid sequences. Interestingly, several of these syndromes appear to be age-related. The co-investigators in this work with Dr. Calkins are John Wright and Paul Binette, who are hoping to identify the precise clinical features of these syndromes and to explain the process of amyloid resorption and formation. In addition, this newest division of the Department of Medicine is moving toward the study of health care for older people including an evaluation of the attitudes of students and house staff toward elderly patients. Future directions for research will encompass genetic, metabolic, immunologic and other aspects of what is commonly called, "senile brain disease." Division of Clinical Pharmacology [See Also PMY) The Chairman of the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Dr. Carr, also FALL , 1979 acts as head of this division of the Department of Medicine. Dr. Carr and his colleague, Dr. Edward Nelson, are interested in diagnostic drugs and drug metabolism, respectively. They are also interested in the pharmacokinetics of drugs in the elderly, work which will also involve the Division of Geriatrics/Gerontology. Basic research being conducted in the Department of Pharmacology has become closely associated with clinical studies of drug effects. Microbiology THE DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY has been devoted to research in the medical sciences of bacteriology, virology and immunology since its founding in 1941 by Ernest Witebsky. However, its blossoming as a leader in the related area of tissue specific antigens may be traced to its roots in Europe, where the field of immunology was opened at the end of the nineteenth century. Scientists at Heidelberg, where Witebsky was trained, began expanding and deepening their studies of the body's responses to pathogens to include its reactions to both its own and foreign tissues and cells. From these explorations Witebsky went on to characterize antigens specific to various tissues and organs. Having established this groundwork, he undertook fruitful collaborative studies on the pathogenesis of human thyroid disease with Noel Rose and Joseph Kite here in Buffalo. They succeeded in describing a model of autoimmune response, Hashimoto ' s thyroiditis. Studies by Dr. Kite on spontaneously occurring thyroiditis in a strain of obese chickens showed that the animal's own immune apparatus reacted against its own thyroid gland. Ultimately, this vital gland was destroyed. Skillful and sustained analyses led to the elucidation of the genetic mechanisms involved in what was really the organism's attack upon its own tissue. Further advances were made by Ernst Beutner, who had been a student of Witebsky. He established the immunologic basis of pemphigus, a rare but fatal blistering disease. His discovery of pemphigus antibodies on the skin cell surface led to the development of diagnostic tests for early detection of this devastating skin disorder. 23 d- �Progress in immunodermatology continues to be made toward the management of the common problem of psoriasis. Dr. Beutner has demonstrated that antibodies associated with this skin disease exist even before damage to the skin occurs. Moreover, these antibodies themselves seem to exacerbate the condition. Multiple sclerosis, another disorder having an auto-immune component, is being studied from a number of aspects. Victoria Wicher and Chairman Felix Milgram have observed an exaggerated response to basic protein in patients in active phases of the disease. Those who are in an inactive or stationary phase have suppressed response. In any case, basic protein of myelin seems to be the villain. In another project, Dr. Milgram successfully characterized multiple sclerosis antibodies which may lead to timely and accurate diagnosis of this disease. Kidney disease has been the model for basic research on diseases involving immune mechanisms. Guiseppe Andres has worked with animal models for producing autoimmune responses to glomerular and tubular basement membranes. In parallel, Dr. Andres and his colleagues Boris Albini, Jan Brentjens and Bernice Noble, have establi'shed the immune complex origin of many forms of nephritides. Although there is ample evidence for the deposition of immune complexes in the kidney, the nature of the offending antigens is not clearly known. Drs. Andres, Milgram and Albini are trying to determine if these antigens are endogenous or exogenous. In support of the view that the antigen is endogenous, Dr. Andres has injected Drs. J.C. Abeyaunis, Felix Milgram and Kyaichi Kana. 24 animals with mercuric chloride and found that this led to the formation and accumulation of immune complexes in the kidney. Of further interest was the composition of the immune complexes, as units of an autologous antigen and its antibodies. An important but unexpected outcome of this research has been the discovery that immune complexes are deposited not only in the kidney but also in other organs, primarily the lungs. Another recent finding adding to the complexity of research in this area has been that gamma globulin itself may act as a strong antigen. It may react with certain substances which cause its denaturation. This makes detection and isolation of circulating immune complexes difficult. Nevertheless, Dr. Milgram and Kyoichi Kano have made some headway toward the identification of circulating immune complexes using an anti-antibody, a serum factor discovered by Dr. Milgram twenty five years ago. Anti-antibody combines with antibody molecules altered in the reaction with their antigens. By neutralizing or absorbing antiantibody, the transformed antibody and the immune complexes can be disclosed. Research on antigens that differ in their structure in individuals is also being carried out. Antigens include blood groups and histocompatibility antigens, in which the department has considerable expertise. James Mohn, who serves as director of the blood reference laboratory at the Buffalo General Hospital, is an authority on ABO blood groups and, particularly, on subtypes of group A. His colleagues, Reginald Lambert and Roger Cunningham, are also well recognized for their work on blood substances. Dr. Lambert is also the scientific director for the Regional Red Cross Blood Program. Tissue typing, including the matching of donors and recipients for transplant, is a major service of the department that depends directly upon its scientific capabilities. Drs. Milgram and Kano have been investigating transplant problems, particularly hyperacute rejection of renal grafts. Their findings have challenged long-held beliefs that rejection of "solid" tissue grafts was caused by cellmediated immunity. They demostrated that patients in whom immediate rejection of occurred has antibodies that grafts prevented successful transplantation. ExTHE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN J \ �1 I \ periments involving in vitro perfusion of organs, principally the heart, with serum containing transplant antibodies proved that the primary damage was due to antibodies and complement. Thus, antibody-mediated rejection came to be more fully and accurately understood than before. In research on tumor specific antigens, another area of strength in Microbiology, John Abeyounis has demonstrated that some tumor antigens are not unique, esoteric entities. Rather, these antigens have been found to exist in other normal individuals of the same species, even though they are foreign to the tumor-bearing individual. Along the same lines, heterophile antigens, which are uncharacteristic of the individual patient but common to other species, have been studied in diseases such as infectious mononucleosis. These novel antigens apparently stimulate a very strong immune response in the individual to whom they are alien. This response is likely to account for the complete recovery of the patient from infectious mononucleosis. In contrast, there is a very weak response to heterophile antigens in lymphoma and leukemias. Even worse, the antibodies seem to form so gradually that tolerance to the foreign antigen, rather than resistance takes place. Innovative work on the basic phenomenon of cell cooperation in immune responses occupies Diane Jacobs. Although the complementary role of T and B cells is well known, her work has provided insights into some pecularities in regulatory mechanisms of immunity in which the role of the T cells may be circumvented. Genetic aspects of immune responses have been explored by Marek Zaleski. Biophysical aspects of immunology are the major interest of Carel Jan Van Oss. He is known for his studies on the effect of surface tension of bacteria and other particles on their engulfment by phagocytic cells. He has also given concentrated effort to studies of the biophysical aspects of agglutination and recently to dissociating antigen-antibody complexes by means of van der Waals forces. Biochemical aspects of bacterial cells are studied by Joseph Merrick and Murray Stinson whose principal interests are enzyme secretion, membrane physiology and cell wall structure. The Department of Microbiology also has FALL, 1979 a vigorous program in virology. Thomas Flanagan and Arlene Collins have made advances in knowledge about persistent viral infections like measles and their pathological consequences. The emerging importance of interferons and the interactions between disparate viruses are the main interests of Harshad Thacore. Also contributing to Buffalo's leadership in microbiology is the Center for Immunology. This multidisciplinary group of scientists emerged from the Department of Microbiology in 1969 and remains closely associated with it under its Director, Professor James Mohn. The Center's biennial convocations of immunologists from all over the world and regular scholarly meetings of its local members are well recognized for their scientific interest and vitality. Neurology ELECTRODIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES commonly used in Neurology provide data which are essential for the systematic investigation of such problems as the effects of aging and disease upon the peripheral and central nervous systems. Spectral analyses of electroencephalographic frequencies may prove helpful; and electromyography is being used to study the remote effects of malignancy and ALS on the peripheral neuromuscular system. Variations in minute electrical potentials detected by averaging of far-field, short latency evoked responses appear to be useful in the diagnosis of neurologic disorders. Research in this area involves assessment of responses produced by somatosensory, auditory and visual stimuli in humans, complemented by animal studies intended to identify the anatomic and physiologic origins of these electrical potentials. The use of intraoperative ultrasound was introduced into Buffalo by members of the Department who have turned their attention to Doppler analysis of the flow of blood through the extracranial circulation to the brain. 25 d- �The speed and efficiency of computers in analyzing and correlating data concerning the electrical function and structure of the nervous system have improved the accuracy of clinical neurologic diagnosis. Computer assisted axial tomography of the brain has expanded the neurologist's ability to detect intracranial pathology non-invasively. Faculty members located at the Dent Neurological Institute at the Millard Fillmore Hospital have been in the forefront of the clinical applications of the CAT scanner. In addition to developing the department's diagnostic capabilities, neurologists are engaged in research on clinical and basic neuro-medical phenomena. Scholarly interactions with scientists in the related areas of neuropathology, neurobiology and neuropharmacology are being intensified. Joint conferences for the exchange of ideas and information as well as for development of collaborative research projects are in the offing. Some typical interdisciplinary ventures are: studies on the immunologic substrate of multiple sclerosis; the therapy of neoplastic disorders of the central nervous system in children; the metabolism of anti-convulsants in children; the neuropsychological basis for differential functions of the cerebral hemispheres; and the distribution, metabolism and physiological role of cations in the central nervous system. Such research promises new directions for clinical and basic scientific developments in Neurology. With the addition of new faculty and the exploration of new applications of "state of the art" neurodiagnostic technology, the Department expects to maintain a healthy balance among its triple missions of patient care, undergraduate-postgraduate education and scholarly, scientific achievement. Neurosurgery FINDINGS BASED upon decades of clinical and experimental work and an exhaustive survey of the literature will soon be published in a single, comprehensive volume on head injury. Louis Bakay, Franz Glasauer and George Alker have woven together information on the physiological, pathological, mechanical, anatomical and epidemiological 26 aspects of head injury along with sections on the medical and surgical treatment and medico-legal factors involved in this area of neurosurgery. Over six hundred references and original illustrations have been prepared to complement the text. Although this book caps years of clinical and experimental research, it does not mean the end of scientific investigation in the department. Continuing studies of what happens in the brain when a patient loses consciousness show that there are subliminal changes in neurons. Using neurochemical methods and electron microscopy, alterations in the neurons at the level of the mitochondria are being analyzed. The evidence is that transitory but severe losses of brain function originate at the subcellular level, a finding with important implications for therapy aimed at restoring full brain function. Fundamental research on brain water has been carried out using advanced basic science research tools such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). A project involving Dr. Bakay and Robert Kurland of U/B's Chemistry Department confirmed that freely diffusable water is responsible for brain edema which occurs following trauma. This suggests that since this bulk water comes from the blood stream, alleviation of the edema may be obtained using dialysis. Future studies of circadian rhythm in relation to changes in the water content of the brain are being contemplated. Nuclear Medicine DEPARTMENT OF NUCLEAR MEDICINE is one of two such departments in U.S. medical schools. But its distinction goes beyond this, being solidly based on major contributions to the science of nuclear medicine. A twenty-year tradition of leadership and excellence under Merrill Bender, head of nuclear medicine at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, is being continued there and at U.B.'s three-year old department under Monte Blau. Buffalo's stature in the field also derives from local expertise in the development of radioactive compounds that permit visualizing the pancreas, bone and the brain. These agents are now used routinely throughout the country. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The discovery of new and improved imaging substances is being pursued by Dr. Blau and his colleagues, Drs. Hank Kung and Robert Ackerhalt. They are seeking radioactive materials for visualizing myocardial infarctions sooner after heart injury than is possible now. Dr. Kung is also seeking radiopharmaceu ticals for visualizing regional blood flow in the brain. The aim of his work is early identification of stroke-prone patients. A central problem in developing useful diagnostic imaging agents is their specificity for the organs and tissues chosen for investigation. The search for cartilage localizing agents to replace less specific bone scanning agents is being undertaken in order to refine diagnoses of arthritis. Floyd Green, head of rheumatology at the Veterans Administration Medical Center, and Karen Rosenspire of the Department of Nuclear Medicine, are working on this problem. They are also looking for ways to assess the severity of arthritic conditions. By measuring the amount of uptake of radioisotopes in affected joints, physicians will be able to obtain quantitative evaluations of their patients' condition as well as the effectiveness of therapy. Although nuclear medicine's significance as a diagnostic discipline is well established, its importance as an investigative technique in the basic medical sciences is also recognized. Analyses of the distribution of radioisotopes which have been injected into the body can provide valuable information about the functioning of organs and tissues to which they are targeted. Thus, while X-rays depict anatomical structures, studies of the patterns and rates of uptake, accumulation and excretion of radioactive substances are adding to basic knowledge about physiology. Along these lines, muscle blood flow under various conditions of exercise is being studied in collaboration with David Pendergast of the Department of Physiology. Likewise, Jehuda Steinbach's research on capillary blood flow is expected to have important applications, for example, in treating diabetes and other conditions where circulation is impaired and in evaluating the effectiveness of surgery to open blocked blood vessels. In addition to concerns about the efficacy and specificity of radioactive diagnostic substances, safety is also a prime criterion in FALL, 1979 their development. Dr. Blau and Ms. Rosenspire are working under a contract with the F.D.A. to ascertain the radiation dose from radioactive agents in the human body, with special focus upon lung imaging agents. Their research involves measuring how fast these substances leave the body and where they accumulate in the process of excretion. Obstetrics and Gynecology THE RESEARCH ACTIVITIES of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology are carried out by the faculty in community hospitals affiliated with the School of Medicine as well as Roswell Park Memorial Institute. Basic physiological, immunological and biochemical studies as well as clinical trials of new procedures and techniques are being conducted, all focusing on various aspects of reproductive biology. Dr. Monte Blau 27 d- �The Deaconess Hospital Research Laboratory is the setting for Jack Lippes' current research on human oviductal fluid and its use in fertility. In other work he is trying to identify nutritional factors related to improving the fetus in high risk pregnancies, decreasing infections and lowering neonatal mortality. Debabrata Maulik is also using research facilities at the Deaconess to analyze placental perfusion with respect to nutrition and drug effects. The Maternal Division of the Children's Hospital complex continues to be a primary focus of research activity. The fetal heart preejection phase in the antepartum period is being studied by measuring systolic time intervals at various gestational ages. Fetal electrocardiograms permit basic determinations of the opening of the aortic valve and measurements of the fetal heart pattern of activity during the oxytocin challenge test. Since the pre-ejection period is inversely related to catecholamine levels of the fetus, indirect measures of fetal reactions to stress can be made using this protocol designed by Milo Sampson. A newly acquired transcutaneous P0 2 monitor is proving to be extremely valuable for the proper timing of the administration of oxygen and other gases to the mother during Cesarean section and the early detection of hypoxia during labor. Fetal monitoring will begin once the FDA approves a glue for fixing the electrode on the fetal head. This equipment will permit gathering of basic information on physiological activity occurring during delivery. For this reason it also promises to be an important research tool. Director of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Martin Wingate, and his associate, Gautam Chaudhuri are studying the inhibition of platelet aggregation by a substance produced by the placenta. The discovery of this antiaggregating material has led to a reappraisal of the homeostatic mechanism which prevents thrombus formation. Because there are indications that teenagers as well as older mothers are more liable to have chromosomally abnormal offspring, a retrospective study of their pregnancies is under way. Drs. R. Redheendran and Nirmala Mudaliar are making systematic reviews of cases from the Children's and Deaconess Hospitals. 28 Dr. Carl Bentzel The effectiveness of prostaglandin E 2 vaginal suppositories in second trimester abortions has been evaluated and reported in the Journal of Planned Parenthood by William Dillon. He is also engaged in controlled studies of the mechanism of the disappearance of lung liquid in hyperinflated lungs of fetal lambs. The detection of differences in vasoactive substances found in normal term placentas versus placentas from pre-eclamptic or toxemic pregnancies is the object of another of Dr. Dillon's projects. Since cell mediated immunity to cytomegalovirus in the mother may be a sensitive indicator of the outcome of intrauterine or perinatal infection in the child, studies are under way to clarify the circumstances surrounding primary infection and reactivation of CMV in pregnancy. Investigators in this research, A. Lele, Y. Agatsuma, A. S. Lele, A. Kaul and P. Ogra, are particularly interested in the cell mediated immunity and humoral immunity to CMV in pregnancy. In a study involving thirty patients who elected termination of pregnancy, the technique of fetoscopy will be addressed and refined to permit its use in diagnosis. This procedure is expected to have important THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �applications in patients whose fetuses may have genetic disorders. The effects of external sound stimuli upon fetal movements, breathing and heart rate are being studied using new ultrasonic real time techniques. In addition, normal and abnormal patterns of fetal activity will be sought and related to fetal outcome. In the Perinatal Laboratory of the Children's Hospital, studies on the elevation in serum levels of human hexosaminidase B during pregnancy constitute an important part of its research program. Laboratory Director Patrick Carmody is also planning electrophoretic studies of extracts of normal and steroid sulfatase deficient placentas in order to establish the isozymic patterns of these enzyme activities. At the Buffalo General Hospital David Nichols is operating a urodynamics study unit where electronic urethrocystometry is applied to problems of female incontinence. Mercy Hospital's director of service, Harry Petzig, is correlating tubal ligation with irregular vaginal bleeding. He is also involved in a review of the incidence of breech deliveries over a ten year period. George Loehfelm and Seth Schwartz are following outcomes in relation to specific patterns of histologic abnormalities of the cervix found by colposcopy. Until the time of his tragic death, Wa yne Johnson had continued his studies on uterine activity and the prevention of premature labor. Work was in progress on the effects of new beta adrenergic compounds on uterine muscle strand activity. Orthopaedics T HE BONE PATHOLOGY LAB under the direction of Eugene R. Mindell, is a correlative laboratory where pathological material is processed so that clinical information, radiographic abnormalities and gross and microscopic findings are correlated for improved diagnosis and patient care. This enhances understanding of disease processes. This facility has become a mainstay of research, clinical and teaching programs in the School of Medicine because of the collective expertise of the many medical and basic science disciplines which it represents. FALL , 1979 Long-term studies of fibrosarcomas of bones are being conducted by Dr. Mindell and by John Wright, Chairman of Pathology. Large histological sections of bone tumors, processed in the Bone Pathology Laboratory at the Erie County Medical Center, permit these tumors to be examined in situ . This work is helping to clarify the relationship between the histological appearance of tumors and their potential for growth and metastasis. It is also contributing to the appropriate management of these cancerous conditions. Typical research includes studies of the resection of malignant tumors in cases where limbs have been saved from amputation. Research teams verify diagnoses and examine the adequacy of the resections. Another key resource in research on musculoskeletal problems is the Biomechanics Laboratory directed by John Medige, Associate Professor of Engineering and Research Assistant Professor of Orthopaedics. Experiments on the repair process in the bones of dogs indicate that remodelled bone will return to normal strength even if a large metaphyseal defect persists. These laboratory studies are being correlated with clinical investigations of large persistent skeletal defects in patients. Preliminary findings suggest that, just as in laboratory animals, defects become surrounded by enough remodelled bone so that the injured bone may recover without surgical intervention. Other defects will need treatment and specific indications are being developed by Dr. Mindell for bone grafting surgery. Dr. Medige and his group are also measuring the elasticity of bone under various conditions such as age. These studies and others on acute plastic deformations of the human forearm have been made possible using a Frankel-Burstein torsion testing machine built in the Biomechanics Laboratory. In other research , they have observed that some children's bones bend, rather than break, following injury. In recognition of this fact, physicians have extended their search for symptoms of injury beyond fractures and into the contours of bone. Assessing the relative permanence of these deformations is another problem under current investigation. Research findings have also indicated that fractures occurring in conjunction with a primary disease such as cancer should be 29 d- �treated by operative means. Internal fixation of these breaks not only relieves discomfort, it also increases patients' mobility. Protocols for using adjuvant chemotherapy, particularly platinum, with surgery in osteogenic sarcoma have been designed in collaboration with researchers at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. In other studies twenty cancers caused by radiation were discovered. The dangers of xray therapy have been clearly demonstrated. The suggestion is that radiation should be avoided in treating benign tumors and used only with caution on malignancies. Chemotherapeutic agents like adriamycin and methotrexate may also be hazardous. Research on their effect upon bone remodelling has been planned and grant support for this work has been approved, though not funded at this time , by the National Institutes of Health. The department is also interested in perfecting microsurgical techniques. Clayton Peimer is working on problems in microvascular reconstruction in composite tissue flap survival, including effective replanting of severed fingers and other appendages. In a small but significant animal project on the relationship between meniscal injuries of the knee and degenerative arthritis, it appears that minor injuries to the meniscus may not require surgical repair. Only when damage to the meniscus is severe is the danger of arthritis great enough to warrant its removal. In contrast, a project of national scope involves Theodore Papademetriou, whose research involved the relationship between synovectomy and rheumatoid arthritis. With the clinical facilities and programs of the Erie County Medical Center and the capabilities of both its Bone Pathology Laboratory and the Biomechanics Laboratory, the Department of Orthopaedics has established a research program as a major component of its mission. Its ambition to establish a musculoskeletal laboratory as a focus for its various teaching, research and patient care programs is part of its plan for advancing knowledge and training related to the musculoskeletal system. Support for this proposed clinical unit, which would serve as a major medical reference center for orthopaedics and related areas of medicine, is 30 Dr. M orris Reichlin now being sought. Otolaryngology Clinically oriented research on the detection and treatment of head and neck cancers is the basic component of scientific work in Otolaryngology. A potentially rich source of data for research on all aspects of head and neck cancer is available to the department through its joint operation (with Roswell Park Memorial Institute) of the Eastern Great Lakes Head and Neck Cancer Control Network. Chairman, John M. Lore, Jr. is coprincipal investigator. One of six such networks in the United States under National Cancer Institute sponsorship, this cooperative program among medical personnel and treatment facilities is organized to foster improvements in preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative services provided to area patients. Details of patient management are recorded in a computerized data base . Because of the scope of this program and the large population that it covers, the network data base is expected to THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �be an important resource in the future research efforts of the department. Numerous pilot demonstrations , educational and research activities are carried out within the network. One in particular promotes self-examination of the face and mouth for signs of cancer. Educational exhibits and demonstrations at the Erie County Fair and elsewhere have reached thousands of people. Follow-up of participants who received instruction in selfexamination techniques at the Fair indicate that nearly 50 % of those queried continue to look for signs of cancerous conditions as a part of their own personal health regime. Since self-examination is more economical than screening programs involving the use of health personnel such as dentists or dental hygienists , further research to make selfexamination effective, practical and widely practiced would be appropriate. Once symptoms of cancer or other disorders of the head and neck are discovered, comprehensive assessment of the patient's condition is essential. In order to facilitate systematic recording of pertinent clinical information on the extent of disease, standardized data forms have been developed by the department. From these forms it is relatively straightforward for a computer or nonmedical specialist to establish the stage of disease in accordance with the TNM or any other specified classification system. These forms have been disseminated nationally. In close cooperation with other network institutions, a manual on "Management Guidelines for Head and Neck Cancer" has been prepared and field tested under overall editorship of Sol Kaufman. It fills a need for a succinct exposition of major principles of sound management practice and is expected to be published shortly by the National Cancer Institute . A novel approach for discovering laryngeal lesions is being pursued by Richard Campbell, Director of U/B's Speech and Hearing Laboratory, with assistance from members of this department. The hope is that computer analyses of voice recordings will reveal patterns characteristic of abnormalities and so provide a simple way to screen large numbers of people for disorders of the larynx. Research related to clinical practice has included the evaluation of thyroid scans and FALL , 1979 vascular replacement in head and neck carcinoma. Various aspects of otitis media are being studied by Joel Bernstein in collaboration with faculty in other departments of the Medical School. The effects of intratympanically administered aminoglycoside antibiotics on cochlear and vestibular sensory epithelia are being investigated by Irwin Ginsberg and his associate , Michael Rudnick, at the Hearing Foundation of Buffalo. They are also working on the development of an implantable multichannel electrode array for VIIIth cranial nerve stimulation. Their future plans include a study of control mechanisms of the inner ear microcirculation. Instrumentation to improve diagnosis and therapy is a continuing interest of John Lore. His optical nasopharyngeal biopsy forceps have simplified the examination of the nasopharynx, one of the most difficult areas of the head and neck to observe . He has also developed a fiberoptic headlight that permits an observer, a student or an assistant, to see the same field as the principal examiner. This device has been useful for teaching head and neck examination procedures. A controlled clinical study of intravenous hyperalimentation as an adjunct to treatment of head and neck cancer is being conducted by the department. With advice from John Border in the Department of Surgery, the study is attempting to assess the value of total parenteral nutrition in improving the nutritional and immune status of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Pathology DEPARTMENT OF PATHOLOGY occupies a unique position in this and other medical schools. As a link between the basic sciences and clinical medicine, pathology is considered a clinical department in some schools and a basic science department in others. At U/B the Pathology Department has status as both a clinical and a basic science department and its research activities reflect this duality. THE 31 d-- �Guiseppe Andres and Jan Brentjens, whose research is on the immunopathology of kidney disease, supervise the Renal Diagnostic Laboratory at the Buffalo General Hospital. One of the few W.H.O.-designated reference laboratories in the United States, this laboratory receives kidney biopsy material from distant parts of the country as well as from local institutions. Analysis of this clinical material in conjunction with experimental models of disease developed at the University campus has contributed to the understanding of these complicated disorders. This work in immunologically mediated diseases has been extended to include disorders of the skin and lung, as well as the kidney and immunologic aspects of renal transplantation. While Drs. Andres and Brentjens pursue their studies of antibody mediated pathology, Gustavo Cudkowicz concentrates on cellmediated mechanisms. He is an expert in experimental bone marrow transplantation, a very risky procedure in contrast to renal transplantation. Centers such as L'Institut de Recherches sur les Maladies du Sang, Hopital St.-Louis, Paris, where Dr. Cudkowicz spent a sabbatical leave, are major sources of human data. Work at these centers provides the necessary corroboration for laboratory findings and so contributes to the further refinement of marrow transplant as a mode of therapy. In addition to his research in this area, Dr. Cudkowicz has been recognized for his expertise in tumor pathology. He serves on NIH committees evaluating research programs and protocols in this important area. Tumor pathology is also a principal interest of John Gaeta, Head of Surgical Pathology. His extensive research on tumors of the male genito-urinary system has resulted in the development of clinically useful classifications of these tumors and to the evaluation of therapy protocols. He continues to work closely with the prostate study group at Roswell Park Memorial Institute and with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. Research' on muscular dystrophy is being conducted by Reid Heffner. Since February 1, 1979 he has been director of Erie County's Tissue Pathology Laboratory, one of the Medical School's expanding clinically oriented research resources. Advances in the use of electron 32 microscopy as a practical diagnostic tool are being made by Anand Chaudhry. His work has helped diagnostic pathologists to determine the precise cell line origin of tumors. If regimens are designed with accurate information about the tumor cell type, chemotherapy and radiation therapy can have increased effectiveness. In other projects, Dr. Chaudhry is contributing to experimental teratology, especially on cleft palate and the oral pathology of tumors. His early training in dental medicine prepared the way for his advancement in this area. Building upon a half century of work on brain malformations, Kornel Terplan is continuing his scientific activities at the Children's Hospital. A pioneer in the study of brain disorders, including Down's syndrome, Dr. Terplan served as chairman of the Pathology Department from 1934-1960. Peter Nickerson and Samuel Gallant are members of a team of biochemists and pathologists who are studying the adrenal and pituitary glands in experimental models of hypertension. Dr. Nickerson has described abnormalities in adrenocortical cells which are common to adrenal regeneration hypertension, hypertension in animals bearing tumors secreting pituitary hormones and androgen-induced hypertension. This last Dr. Jon Brentjens with Irene B. Pawlowski and Joyce R. Niesen. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �model of the disease was first described by Floyd Skelton, former chairman of the Pathology Department. In collaboration with Leon Farhi and Sady Matalon of the Physiology Department, Dr. Nickerson is examining the morphology of the lung and blood vessels in oxygen toxicity. Pediatrics THE DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS has a long and consistent history of scientific achievement in the basic medical and clinical sciences. Awards and honors continue to be conferred upon members of the department for their contributions to medicine. Dr. Pearay Ogra, recipient of the prestigious Mead Johnson Research Award in 1978, has studied the immunologic aspects of childhood diseases including hepatitis B virus. Epidemiologic surveys of over 5,000 residents of the West Seneca Developmental Center revealed a high prevalence of the disease. This finding was not itself surprising since a high incidence of hepatitis is not unusual in such institutional settings. However, serological studies of this group led Dr. Ogra's team to the observation that T-cell activity may contribute to the immunologically mediated liver damage in this type of hepatitis. Further studies also showed frequent occurrence of immune complexes containing hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody in chronic antigen carriers. Dr. Ogra's work on influenza virus indicated that immunization with conventional vaccines can provide protection against antigenically similar viruses in a natural setting. Better still, such protection seems to last more than one subsequent epidemic season. In another project, colostrum and breast milk were found to be unusually high in immunologic reactivity for the first four days of lactation. This discovery has significant implications for the maternal-neonatal interaction, especially for newborns whose immunologic system is poor at birth. Dr. Ogra has also extended his research into the mystery of "sudden infant death syndrome." Preliminary data suggest subtle immunologic abnormalities in stricken infants. FALL, 1979 Recently Dr. Ogra and his colleagues, Robert Welliver and Marie Gallagher, have embarked on an extensive project to study the natural history of acute respiratory infections acquired in early infancy. Studies are under way to examine the role of antibody and cell mediated immune responses in the pathogenesis of bronchitis and virus induced reactive airway diseases in childhood. These studies are funded under a five year grant from the National Heart and Lung Institute. Other studies which are being actively pursued in his laboratory include pathogenesis of infections in immunosuppressed subjects and interaction of neutrophils and other mononuclear cells in the blood with common human viruses . Howard Faden and Y. Agatsuma in Dr. Ogra's laboratory are looking at these interactions, using a variety of common viral infections as investigative models. The lustre of the department has also been enhanced by the work of Erwin Neter, Professor of Micro biology as well as Pediatrics. He was the recipient of the Wyeth Award for Clinical Microbiology in 1977 from the American Society of Microbiology and the Stockton Kimball Award from the University. A chance observation of a patient with peritonitis led to his discovery of an unexpected antibody response to the antigen that is common to enterobacteria. This suggested to Dr. Neter that peritoneal irritation may have served as an adjuvant since there was a lower level of response in patients with extraperitoneal infections. Animal studies showed that immunization with common enterobacterial antigen, in the presence of either lymphocytes or macrophages, is far less effective than in the absence of these cells. Whether cellular products or other factors in the exudate are responsible for the immunosuppresive effect remains to be determined. Dr. Neter is also examining cellular immunity to the common enterobacterial antigen and the immune response of patients with malignancy and secondary bacterial infections. Elliot F. Ellis is nationally recognized as an authority on allergy. His principal research interests are in the therapeutics of allergic disease and asthma. Another approach to helping asthmatics and their families has been tried in over 100 families. G. J. A. Cropp and his associate, M. 33 d- �Hindi-Alexander, found that the coping of the families and the health of the patients who participated in the project improved significantly. The families' knowledge about the disease increased, their ability to assist in the management of the patients' problems improved, school absenteeism lessened and visits to the hospital emergency rooms decreased. Dr. Cropp is also working with Frank Cerny on the cardio-respiratory effects of exercise in cystic fibrosis. Results indicate that mild and moderately affected "cystics" maintain their ability to exercise. Only severely diseased patients show a sharp reduction in aerobic power and arterial desaturation during exercise. In another project, regular exercise was shown to increase sputum expectoration, suggesting that physical activity may be an effective alternative to regular postural drainage. They are also investigating the effect of oral theophylline and aerosolized isoproterenol and atropine upon pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis. Pulmonary disorders are also the concern of the Chief of Neonatology, Edmund Egan. Using animal models to assess changes in the permeability of the alveolar epithelium, his experiments promise to yield new insights to the problems of gas exchange in newborns with lung disease. Basic experimental work on the pathogenic mechanism of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is being carried out by Byung H. Park. Dr. Park, in collaboration with T. P. Lee, is studying the effect of pesticides and other environmental chemicals on immune responses. Emanuel Lebenthal is also committed to a multifaceted research program in pediatric gastroenterology. His recent projects include studies of the immunologic aspects of milk intolerance; the effects of gestational age and diet on human pancreatic exocrine zymogen enzymes; milk protein allergy; and the effect of intrauterine growth retardation on pancreatic zymogen enzymes and small intestinal enzymes. Recent findings in the area of gastroenterology in relation to childhood and development were explored at a five day symposium arranged by Dr. Lebenthal and held in June, 1979. The Division of Human Genetics carries out research on genetic diseases over a broad area. In Biochemical Genetics, Robert 34 Guthrie is continuing to develop new screening tests for inherited metabolic abnormalities in the newborn, in association with Edwin Naylor and Thomas Paul. They are also working on the detection of rare metabolic abnormalities which cause mental retardation. Another member of the Biochemical Genetics group, Mario Rattazzi, is refining a diagnostic method for identifying carriers of Tay-Sach's disease gene. He is also studying the therapeutic aspects of GM' gangliosidosis using animal models. With Georgirene Vladutiu, his research on I-cell disease is contributing to the understanding of exocytosis and endocytosis of lysosomal enzymes by human cells. Although this neurodegenerative disorder is uncommon, it provides an excellent model for studying the pathogenesis and potential treatment of storage diseases. Delineation of rare genetic syndromes by Robin Bannerman and Ramakrishnan Redheendran is an important part of the work which arises from the large volume of referral of affected children to the Division of Human Genetics. Correlation of the phenotypic (physical) features with chromosomal abnormalities, especially in hitherto undescribed abnormalitites, is carried out in collaboration with Richard L. Neu, Director of Cytogenetics. In Dr. Neu's laboratory, Joseph Lanman is investigating patterns of human chromosome replication. Three areas of research are being pursued in the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. Several research fellows and graduate students are investigating, with James Humbert, the biology of neutrophils submitted to freezing trauma. Such research will hopefully lead to improved methods for preserving neutrophils for transfusion in immunodeficient patients. In another project, Dr. Humbert uses neutrophils damaged by chemicals or viruses and attempts to restore their function by inserting enzyme-antibody complexes into the dysfunctional cells. Shlomo Friedman, whose principal interest is hemoglobinopathies, investigates globin chain synthesis in hematopoietic tissues of patients with thalassemias and sickling disorders. The purpose of these studies is to shed some light on the variability of clinical expressions in such disorders, as well as to provide useful and safe tools for the THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �prenatal diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies. Richard Sills, whose expertise lies in clotting problems, is conducting a major evaluation of coagulation factors in premature infants, in collaboration with the Division of Neonatology. He is also assessing the possibility of a hypercoagulable status in juvenile diabetics, as determined by platelet function studies. The Department also has well established research programs in Endocrinology. Under the direction of Margaret H. MacGillivray and Mary L. Voorhess, studies are being conducted on the endocrine basis of hirsutism in adolescent girls and young women. In collaboration with members of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, these researchers are attempting to define the source of the abnormal androgen production by detailed measurements of hormones in blood and urine in addition to direct visualization of the ovaries by laparoscopy when indicated. On the basis of these studies, hormone therapy is selected to suppress androgen production and reduce hair growth. The division continues to provide growth hormone therapy for more than 60 children with hypopituitarism. The treatment program is sponsored by the National Pituitary Agency with the understanding that the treatment centers conduct relevant and approved clinical studies which increase knowledge of the role of growth hormone in health and disease. The current studies which qualify Dr. Mario Rattazzi with Catherine Downing and Mark CJosenger. hypopituitary patients for therapy at the Buffalo Children's Hospital include: (1) an evaluation of pituitary gonadotropin production following administration of gonadotropin releasing hormone and (2) the influence of the pituitary hormone on blood glucose regulation with a specific emphasis on the interplay between ACTH and cortisol on epinephrine output. In a separate group of young men who are infertile because they lack pituitary gonadotropins, treatment with replacement hormones (human chorionic gonadotropins and Pergonal) are resulting in testicular maturation and improved masculinization. Drs. MacGillivray and Voorhess are also working with a team of diabetologists (Erika Bruck, Luis Mosovich and Theodore Putnam) and statisticians under the direction of John Siegel in surgery. They are evaluating the role of the major carbohydrate and lipid regulatory hormones in diabetic management. It is known that glucose control varies greatly among diabetic individuals. The goal of the research is to gain more knowledge of the hormonal and metabolic factors which adversely affect glucose regulation in diabetic children and to use this information to formulate improved treatment regimens. The vigor and productivity of the Pediatric Department's research program is based upon both the unique clinical facilities of the Children's Hospital and the large and varied patient population which it serves. With faculty support from the State University, the Pediatrics Department has been able to increase understanding of childhood diseases, knowledge of the basic medical sciences and, at the same time, offer a very high caliber of medical care to children who are ill. Pharmacology and Therapeutics D IVERSITY COUPLED with a commitment to both innovative and classical phar macological studies characterize the research of the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics. Using animal models of drug effects and clinical studies in both adults and FALL, 1979 35 d- �children, the faculty pursue varied but complementary research projects aimed at providing a scientific basis for drug therapy. In light of the more than two billion prescriptions written in the United States every year, the potential impact of research in pharmacology may be appreciated. Alcohol and Other Abused Drugs In a series of studies begun in the 1960's, Cedric Smith and his colleagues at the New York State Research Institute on Alcoholism have advanced the understanding of alcoholism as a biological event. The laboratory work of Peter Gessner has similarly focused upon the effects of excessive alcohol ingestion upon the organism. Going beyond the bounds of his work at the bench, Dr. Gessner brings his scientifically established insights into the classroom where he trains medical students to treat alcoholic patients. Dr. Jerrold Winter's studies on morphine receptors and his technique for predicting from laboratory studies the potential hallucinogenicity of new drugs have considerable bearing on the development and use of these potent substances. Clinical Pharmacology The increasing problem of overdoses of acetaminophen (Tylenol®) is a concern of Edward Nelson. A clinical pharmacologist who also holds an appointment as assistant professor of medicine, he is investigating several approaches for preventing or lessening liver toxicity arising from excessive doses of this commonly used analgesic, including the use of metyrapone as an antidote. With faculty in the School of Pharmacy, Dr. Nelson has also carried out clinical studies of variations in individual rates of absorption of drugs such as erythromycin. Improved treatment of asthma may follow from the work of Stanley Szefler. Some of his studies at the Children's Hospital suggest that antihistamines do not interfere with the effect of corticosteroids, a finding contrary to what has been observed in animals. Since modes of therapy have been based almost exclusively on animal models, his human studies may lead to more effective treatment of asthmatics. The asthmatic patient may also benefit from Dr. Szefler's research with Margaret Acara. They are interested in the way in which the kidney disposes of Isuprel® (isoproterenol). It seems that the end product of its metabolism may in fact antagonize its therapeutic effect and thus, the drug may fail to give the expected relief. Renal Pharmacology The work of Drs. Szefler and Acara has been a natural extension of the pioneering work on renal pharmacology done by Barbara Rennick. She is now internationally recognized for having demonstrated the mechanism whereby the kidney excretes certain organic bases. Bruce Pearce, Dr. Margaret Acara. Toxicology The pharmacologists' experience with drugs of abuse, overdoses and other forms of poisoning, together with increasing de~and for solid scientific information on potentially hazardous substances in the environment fuel the Department's further development in the area of toxicology. Although, as scientists, the faculty are seeking new knowledge about 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �suspected and known toxins for the medical community and for the public, they are also at work on solutions to current problems. For example, Paul Kostyniak, a co-developer of a special dialysis method for eliminating heavy metals from the body, was on stand-by alert to go to Korea in 1978 during a threatened epidemic of methylmercury poisoning. With the approval of President Ketter, VicePresident Pannill and Dean Naughton, resource allocation and staff recruitment will be aimed at increasing the department's strength in toxicology. Classical Pharmacology Dr. Robert Mcisaac has proved that there is still much more to learn about the pharmacological aspects of the autonomic nervous system. His evidence suggests that traditional anatomical representations of muscarinic and nicotinic transmission are too simplistic. This means that the use of drugs to influence autonomic transmission must be based upon a recognition of the complexity of these loci. Likewise, the long-recognized role of the lungs as a site where drugs accumulate has recently come to be explained by scientists including Jerome Roth. The observation that the endothelium has a role in the transport of drugs like antidepressants and in the metabolism of drugs such as those of the adrenalin type has illuminated the significance of the lungs. This finding is not surprising since the endotheli urn occurs in abundance in the lungs. Work in this very productive area of investigation is being continued by Dr. Roth, Dr. Venter and clinical pharmacologists. And, the usual explanations about how antibiotics kill pathogens are being refined and corrected by Alan Reynard. The belief that an antibiotic acts as a sort of "magic bullet" targeted at the organisms infecting the body has been held since it was propounded hy Ehrlich at the turn of the century. The interaction between the immune system of the body and the drug itself had been overlooked. Laboratory studies by Dr. Reynard and his colleagues indicate that certain antibiotics not only act directly upon disease-causing agents; they may also enhance the ability of the body's own immune system. Further FALL, 1979 applications of Dr. Reynard's work on drugimmune system interactions are expected in relation to transplantation and rejection phenomena. In view of his achievements in this field, he has been named editor of the new Journal of Immunopharmacology. New Areas of Pharmacological Research Giving added breadth to the research activities of the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics is Frederick Sachs. In collaboration with researchers in the Departments of Biophysics and Biochemical Pharmacology, he has advanced knowledge of ion transport mechanisms in cells. The search for more efficacious drugs for treating cardiac arrythmias and convulsive disorders may well be aided by the fundamental information being generated by these scientists. Contributions to the basic science of pharmacology are also being made by J. Craig Venter. Utilizing new tissue culture techniques, he has had remarkable success in isolating beta adrenergic receptors. In applying this technique to mammalian tissue, he has discovered that beta adrenergic receptors within one species are not identical, but they may vary among different organs. What is more, he has found that corticosteroids can actually triple the number of beta receptors on a cell and not just interact with existing receptors! This means that refinement of beta-blocking drugs such as Propranolol (Inderal®) may lead to greater selectivity and fewer side effects in patients being treated for diseases such as angina. In addition to research on chemical agents for the prevention and treatment of disease, substances are also being developed to improve diagnosis. A prime concern is that these substances be non-invasive. Edward Carr, chairman of the department, is continuing work that he began at the University of Michigan on radioactive techniques for visualizing organs. Efforts to treat a person who had been exposed to radioactive Lesium at the University's nuclear center, together with the published observations of Tulane cardiologist, George Burch, on the accumulation of radioactive substances in the heart and other muscle, led to the hypothesis that the myocardium might be imaged. Imaging the heart non-invasively and with greater clarity 37 d-- �than in the usual roentgenographic and angiographic techniques was a definite advance in diagnostic technology. Now, going beyond his original work, Dr. Carr is attempting to improve procedures for visualizing myocardial infarctions. It is of historic note that the Chairman of the department at the time when U/B became part of the State University, Douglas Riggs, developed the first clinically practical method for measuring a hormone (thyroid] in the blood. His international renown is also related to his pioneering work on biological feedback mechanisms. Physiology THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY has evolved over the past 20 years beginning with the arrival of Hermann Rahn, now Distinguished Professor of Physiology, Past President of the American Physiological Society and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. As Chairman from 1956-1973, he recruited a number of faculty who have become outstanding leaders in physiology. One of them, Leon Farhi, now serves as editor of the Journal of Applied Physiology. His enormous contributions to the understanding of gas exchange and lung function have brought him numerous awards. Another of the faculty members recruited by Dr. Rahn, Werner Noell, holds the Jonas Friedenwald Medal for his biophysical and biochemical investigations of retinal function. Dr. Noell himself was responsible for bringing Nobel Laureate, Sir John Eccles, into the neurobiology program in 1968. Dr. Eccles remained an active participant in the program until his retirement in 1974. The present strength of the Division of Neurobiology is rooted in the combined assets of Dr. Noell's and Dr. Eccles' laboratories. The Department may now be viewed as a constellation of four research groups, each with its own resources and scientific orientation: neurobiology; cardiopulmonary function; cellular physiology and hyperbaric/environmental studies. These clusters of faculty with their associated research and technical staffs and special facilities have not dimmed the contributions of individual researchers. Rather, these groups have served to magnify the significance of specialized projects as 38 their findings are brought to bear on the large and complex problems around which the group is organized. The efficiency and productivity of everyone in the group is enhanced by access to shared facilities for instrument design and fabrication, data analysis and computation, graphic arts, and a special department library. Scientists in the neurobiology group have been interested in the problem of vision for over two decades. Werner Noell has developed innovative and fundamental methods for understanding the biophysical and biochemical processes of retinal function. These techniques were applied to investigations on how the rods and cones of the eye transform light into nerve transmissions by his former colleague Robert Miller now at Washington University in St. Louis. Donald Faber is carrying out related work on electrical synaptic transmission while Edward Koenig is studying protein synthesis in the nerve axon and the retina. Another approach to visual processes has been undertaken by new faculty members Bruce Dow, Joan Baizer and David Bender. Using trained monkeys with chronically implanted brain electrodes, they are examining the animals' visual apparatus, which closely resembles that of humans. As in the other research groups in the Department, the value of these individual research efforts is more that the sum of their separate findings. Because of the intensity and frequency of interaction among members of the group, each researcher's work acquires depth, scope and significance in terms of the general area of group research. The pattern of activity and productivity characteristic of these research groups has led to their success in attracting millions of dollars in outside support, primarily from the NIH. The Department of Physiology is probably the only one in the United States to have been awarded two program project grants simultaneously and currently ranks among the top ten in terms of overall research grant support. One major program project grant involving no fewer than ten Departmental faculty is analyzing the effects of high and low pressure, temperature, water immersion and exercise stress on the oxygen delivery systems of the body. Under the direction of Donald Rennie, this group of researchers is measuring THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The h yperbari c cham ber. metabolic and cardiovascular respohses during arm and leg exercise, the effects of high pressure on cardiac cell electrophysiology and cellular transport systems, and the control of ventilation and cardiac output in response to environmental stresses. A by-product of this exercise physiology program has been the development of a test center where nationally ranked swimmers, kayakers and members of the Buffalo Bills football team have been evaluated. The facilities and procedures for these evaluations are under the supervision of David Pendergast. The second NIH program project is coordinated by Leon Farhi. It is aimed at solving problems of gas exchange in the human lung. In addition to five physiologists, there are also investigators from the Pulmonary Division of the Department of Medicine and the Division of Neonatology of the Pediatrics Department. The cellular physiology group under Suk Ki Hong is a major component of one of the NIH program projects. Support for its work also comes to it independently from the NIH as well as from the American Heart Association. In collaboration with the hyperbaric and FALL , 1979 cardiopulmonary groups, Dr. Hong and his colleagues participated in a major U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research Dive in the summer of 1979 at the Japan Marine Science and Technology Center. A saturation dive to 1000 feet sea water depth with two weeks of "bottom time" was programmed for five expert diver-subjects. Four members of the Department were present to contribute their scientific know-how. Dr. Hong was the U.S. coordinator of this program . The Hyperbaric Research Laboratory directed by Claes Lundgren has received funds from the Office of Naval Research to be used in part for the design and installation of a life support system. It will give the Department's hyperbaric chamber the highest pressure capacity for saturation dives (to 5,700 feet sea water) in the country. Research is now underway to assess lung function at great depths. The outcome of these studies will have important implications for diving safety and breathing gear design. Dr. Lundgren is investigating the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on exercise-induced angina in a joint project with the Clinical Hyperbaric Unit of the Veterans Administra39 d- �tion Medical Center. In collaboration with his former colleagues at the University of Lund, Sweden, he is analyzing the alleged cancerostatic effects of hyperbaric hydrogen in an animal model. As part of its commitment to community service , the personnel of this unique laboratory facility offer recompression treatment for decompression sickness. Courses for divers and for diving instructors are conducted on the physiology and health aspects of diving. Inseparable from faculty research is graduate training for which the Department was awarded a USPHS Predoctoral training grant in 1958. It lasted for 18 years, one of the longest on record. The stability and quality of this program moved it to seventh rank nationally in the latest report on graduation education published by the American Council on Education (Roose-Anderson, 1970). Approximately 120 visiting faculty and postdoctoral fellows from fifteen countries have been active in the Department over the past 20 years. Of these visiting scholars, 20 have been Buswell fellows who have described their experience in Buffalo as the richest in their careers. All of them have left and gone on to distinguish themselves in their own institutions. Perhaps even more valuable than the over 600 refere ed articles, books and monographs which the Department has contributed to the lasting literature of science, has been the development of these young scientists who promise to continue to perform high quality research in the futur e. Psychiatry R ESEARCH IN THE PSYCHIATRY DEPARTMENT spans psychological, medical, epidemiological and systems approaches to the problems of human behavior and mental health services. As a reflection of the department's diversity, the faculty work in a variety of clinical, research and teaching settings throughout the Medical School and its affiliated institutions. Marvin Herz is engaged in research aimed at early and effective intervention in schizophrenic crisis. At the present time, there is little data concerning early symptoms 40 of relapse in schizophrenia. Interviews of schizophrenic patients have been conducted to determine what they know about early signs of relapse . Families of these patients have also been interviewed. Up to the present time, 140 patients and family members have been surveyed regarding this question. A related issue is that most chronic schizophrenic patients are maintained on medication on an indefinite basis. The major benefit of this medication is to help prevent relapse. There are many undesirable side effects related to taking maintenance antipsychotic medication. If patients and their families can be trained to identify early signs of relapse, it may be possible to treat them with medication only when these signs appear instead of all the time. A doubleblind controlled study protocol has been prepared and submitted to the V.A. for approval. S. Mouchly Small's research interests and activities are focused on examination and evaluation techniques in psychiatry. As a Director of the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology, he is Chairman of the Oral Examination and Recertification of Specialists Committees. His efforts are directed toward standardization and objectification of the examination process to increase its reliability and validity. New techniques have been introduced such as the use of videotaped interviews of psychiatric patients with associated multiple choice questions and possibly the latent image feedback technique used in patient-management problem testing. Other studies relate to the attempted quantification of thinking disorders in both schizophrenic and organic brain syndrome patients. Frank Baker, Director of the Department's Division of Community Psychiatry, has been conducting studies of the professional belief systems of various national professional groups including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and other human service groups. He is also evaluating the statewide training of case managers and paraprofessionals responsible for coordinating support systems services for deinstitutionalized mental health patients. As increasing numbers of the mentally retarded and developmentally disabled are deinstitutionalized, the impact of their return to community life is also emerging as a major THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �public health issue. Barry Willer and James Intagliata are examining this and other community mental health problems with other researchers under the direction of Dr. Baker. Their work involves both State mental health agencies and local mental health groups. The role of the family practitioner in managing the mentally retarded and their families is the subject of one of Dr. Willer's research projects. As the primary health care professional involved with the mentally retarded, the family physician needs basic skills for dealing with the complex medical, psychological and social problems encountered by both patients and their families. Identifying these skills and training physicians to use them are the main goals of this work. Robert Grantham has a special interest in the functions of citizen boards serving these groups. In addition, Dr. Grantham is studying the health-care seeking behavior of minority group members. His collaborator in this study is Myra Gordon, a graduate student in Clinical Community Psychology. With James Intagliata, Dr. Grantham is trying to explain why clients drop out of therapeutic programs. Another member of the Division of Community Psychiatry, John Northman, has been assessing the needs of adolescents in Amherst. In addition, he has looked into the problem of vandalism there for the town's Youth Board. Peter Regan is also interested in health care delivery and education systems. With the support of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, he is studying primary health care systems in member countries: NATO nations, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. On a local level he is utilizing epidemiological methods to describe the population of 1100 psychiatric patients treated at the Veterans' Administration Medical Center. The Director of Graduate Education in Psychiatry, Murray Morphy, is evaluating the effectiveness of psychiatric education with Zebulon Taintor at the Rockland Research Center and Anne Seiden at the University of Illinois. Senior residents and psychiatrists who recently completed residency programs are being surveyed about their training. A questionnaire on the goals of their educational programs, their utility in practice, causes of stress and the formation of ethical values is being used to gather data on these FALL, 1979 Dr. Eleanor jacobs and other basic elements of education in this specialty. Dr. Morphy is also refining the clinical use of algorithms, particularly in the area of depression. These step-by-step instruments for the evaluation of patients have been used by physician assistants, mental health aides, and social workers as well as by medical students. Modelled after the logic decision tree, these algorithms can help users to assess patient problems accurately and thoroughly and to determine when professional psychiatric assistance is necessary. Various aspects of hemispheric specialization - the differential functions of the two sides of the brain - are being studied by Seymour Axelrod in collaboration with Lillian Leiber in the Department of Neurology. In addition to a large-scale survey of handedness in SUNYAB students and faculty, (in which such variables as birth stress, familial handedness, and generational factors are being examined), they are also engaged in basic research on perception and information processing by each of the brain hemispheres. With the use of a tachistoscope, the speed and accuracy of subjects' responses to linguistic and figural stimuli flashed on the screen are being recorded and analyzed to 41 d-- �assess differential hemispheric functioning. Dr. Axelrod is also collaborating with Reinhold Schlagenhauff of the Neurology Department in studying the effects of senescence on the persistence in the aging brain of the effects of sensory stimulation. The relationship between climalotogical variables and dangerous behavior is being explored by Norman Solkoff. His long-standing interest in violence has also led him to systematic analyses of the Nazi genocide of the Jews and its effect upon survivors and their children. Dr. Solkoff is also involved in research on the effects of instruction in ethics on the ethical attitudes of first-year medical students. Radiology THE VALUE OF X-RAYS, gamma rays and ultrasound as diagnostic and evaluative tools in clinical medicine and in basic research has been well established. However, better techniques and equipment continue to be sought in order to expand the amount and quality of information that can be derived from these apparently simple, but important black and white images. As in so many other branches of medical science, computer technology is opening up new approaches to classic problems. In radiology the problem of contrast among light and dark areas being imaged is of fundamental importance since it is these gradations in tone that provide clinically significant information. Now, computer controlled instruments are being used to scan x-ray images and to digitalize differences in density which occur in them. The computer, in effect, "sees" more than even a trained eye can see and is, therefore, able to provide more information than visual inspection of an x-ray film alone. Also, since poor x-ray films may be scanned and analyzed using these digitalized computer display techniques, the number of retakes may be decreased. The overall result will be safer and more efficient radiologic procedures than ever before possible. Another basic problem in the production of high quality x-ray images has been degradation resulting from scatter. Although 42 grids have been used successfully to reduce this form of noise or image interference, their use requires increased doses of radiation to the patient to compensate for losses in the grid. With assistance from the Health Sciences Instrument Shops, Stephen Rudin and his associates have developed a rotating aperture wheel device (RAW). Their invention virtually eliminates scatter while producing images with remarkable contrast at low to moderate levels of radiation. RAW is also applicable to fluoroscopy and rapid sequence dynamic studies of body functions, where it will result in better quality images with reduced patient dose. Further refinements of this new device are being made with the expectation that it may soon prove to be safe and practical for use on human subjects. George Alker is conducting clinical studies of radiation doses required in various radiologic procedures, including the computer-assisted methods being developed by Dr. Rudin's group. Maria Andres is developing modifications and improvements on air contrast examinations of the gastrointestinal tract in a variety of pathological entities. Soon W. Choi with the electron microscope. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Cardiac nuclear imaging and the clinical uses of Gallium scanning are being investigated by Hussein Abdel-Dayem. His work has provided new insights on cardiac function as well as on the thickness of the wall of the heart. In the long-run, his findings may have considerable impact upon the search for three-dimensional imaging techniques. Rehabilitation Medicine DR. GLEN GRESHAM is continuing his research on the residual functional disabilities of survivors of stroke which he began with the now famous Framingham study. Information on the magnitude and pattern of long-term impairment of function following stroke provides a basis for planning continuing care programs for surviving victims of cerebral vascular accidents. Communitybased epidemiological studies such as this one also permit more accurate prognosis of individual functional recovery than would be possible on the basis of hospital experience alone. Dr. Gresham and his associates have also correlated the radiographic and clinical manifestations of osteoarthritis in a group of elderly patients in Wallingford, Connecticut. Although no single clinical symptom occurred in all knees exhibiting roentgenographic changes, a positive correlation between the latter and certain clinical variables, such as pain, was established. Patients with advanced osteoarthritis, as seen on X-ray, may have no or few functional deficits and so may not require specific therapy. Similar studies are planned in relation to hand and hip involvement. In another project patients who underwent medical rehabilitation were followed to determine how well they maintained their reacquired level of performance. The finding FALL, 1979 that most of these patients retained nearly maximal levels of function seems to reflect the fact that rehabilitation is primarily a process of re-education and motivation. Even patients who are severely disabled, such as those with congenital meningomyelocele, can achieve a high level of success in gaining and maintaining abilities to carry out the activities of daily living. Buswell Fellow Emma K. Harrod is engaged in systematic assessment of these patients to improve continuing care and rehabilitation programs directed at this problem. Instruments used to assess functional abilities are themselves the subject of scientific evaluation. While there are several forms used throughout the country for measuring patients' abilities to perform basic daily tasks, specialists in rehabilitation medicine are seeking some uniformity in the collection and exchange of information about patients. The adoption of a universal instrument would enhance communication of patient information among health care facilities and personnel, thereby facilitating rational referral and discharge planning. Dr. Gresham has been a leader in this movement toward standardized evaluation and reporting. Dr. K. H. Lee, Chief of Rehabilitation Medicine at the Veterans Administration Medical Center, has been involved in the biomechanical aspects of research. Braces that improve the gait pattern of stroke patients, electrical stimulators to facilitate the return of function in patients who have no recovery of motor power in their lower extremities and, recently, a pedaling apparatus for evaluating cardiac and peripheral vascular functions have all been scientifically evaluated by Dr. Lee. While there has been much improvement in function through this type of research, relieving pain in disabled patients is another major concern for physicians in the field of Rehabilitation Medicine. Transcutaneous nerve stimulation is extensively used today, but little is known about its mechanism. Dr. Lee and co-workers are applying it to various pain problems to define both its benefits and the mechanism involved. Biofeedback is another area of research by Dr. Lee. Its application in patients with central nervous system pathology is controversial at this time, although a multitude of benefits is claimed. 43 �Social & Preventive Medicine WHILE EXPERIMENTAL work involving complex apparatus and exotic chemicals is going on in the laboratories of the School of Medicine, members of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine are at work in their own unique laboratory: the Western ew York community. Harry Sultz describes the eight-county region as a "nearly perfect laboratory." It contains urban and rural areas with a population ranging from the affluent through the least advantaged and including cohesive ethnic groups. This provides the department's biostatisticians, social scientists, health professionals, and technical staff with access to an interesting and scientifically valuable universe for study. For researchers interested in health systems and planning, there are many different and cooperative health agencies, organizations, and institutions to participate in research and planning projects. Erie County, for example, was the site of a classic epidemiological study showing that the incidence of juvenile diabetes increased following mumps epidemics. Studies like this one help to identy risk factors and point to causes of diseases. In addition to improving the understanding of disease, these studies may lead to the development of measures for its prevention and control, a primary goal of this branch of medical science. In collaboration with clinicians, the department is also trying to contribute to rational therapeutics by helping to design clinical trials assessing the efficacy of various modes of therapy. Obstetricians seeking an objective evaluation of different contraceptive methods and psychiatrists interested in measuring the benefits of hospital-based mental health care are typical of the specialists receiving assistance from faculty and staff in Social and Preventive Medicine. As a service to local governments and health planning agencies, the department has undertaken comprehensive analyses of the health needs of various populations and of health services available to them. The data base established by the research team also identifies deficiencies and unnecessary duplications in facilities and health per44 sonnel. The team may also develop rational recommendations for meeting present and future needs. These data and recommendations represent what is known as a "community health information profile," a guide for decision making about health services. Using this approach, the department has studied a variety of health care needs including those of the elderly in Erie County, of handicapped children, and the distribution of primary care physicians in Western New York. Similarly, governmental and professional organizations have funded studies on the recruitment, satisfaction with training, and future practice plans of various health professionals. The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology supported and later published the findings of a study conducted by the Department on "Current Practices of Board Certified Obstetricians and Gynecologists in the United States." The Federation of Prosthodontic Organizations was interested in a study of 1977 graduates of prosthodontic programs. And, the National Fund for Medical Education contracted for an analysis of medical education in cost effectiveness. Along the same lines, the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare has supported a study of the functions and education of nurse practitioners. The value of these studies lies not only in the information, analyses, and recommendations that are generated by the department, but also in the format of their presentation. Computer programs have been designed to display data on maps with gradation of color intensity and clear symbols to indicate variations in the distribution of, for example, population, facilities or manpower. This facilitates comprehension of the findings of these studies and so makes them more useful than volumes of text and tables of confusing data. Research on occupational, environmental health is expected to become a major component of the department's research program. Local labor unions have already agreed to participate in studies of health problems related to their working conditions. It has been community cooperation of this kind that has contributed considerably to the development of the department as a leader in the field of public health and as a regional health resource. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Judith VanLiew Surgery RESEARCH on the functional changes occurring in the body during critical illness has brought national attention to the Department of Surgery. Carefully designed computer analyses of enormous quantities of clinical data have enabled John Siegel and Frank Cerra to identify patterns of physiological abnormalities in patients with different types of serious illnesses. Similarly, John Border and Rapier McMenamy, Professor of Biochemistry, have found common disturbances in amino acid metabolism in these different categories of patients. Capitalizing on the remarkable efficiency of the computer for processing and integrating these two sets of data, the one physiological, the other biochemical, these researchers have produced profiles of various subsets of patients. These profiles, in turn, provide a rational basis for therapy aimed at normalizing bodily functions and, as such, have proven to be of great clinical value. FALL,1979 Dr. Border's group, including Roger Seibel and John LaDuca, have also succeeded in finding ways to prevent "post traumatic pulmonary failure," a common cause of death following major injury. Their studies at the Trauma Research Unit of the Erie County Medical Center have shown the importance of early detection of hypoxia. If prompt diagnosis is followed by immediate and adequate positive pressure artificial ventilation plus early treatment of all injuries, mortality can be dramatically reduced. Having the patient in a sitting position as soon as possible in the course of therapy has become common practice as a result of their convincing demonstration of its favorable contribution to patient well-being. Members of the department have also made advancements in the direct application of new technology to patient care. Tumors which are inoperable using sharp excision surgical procedures are being treated with cryosurgical techniques developed by Andrew Gage. Skillful application of his methods results in the destruction of the pathologic tissue by freezing while damage to surrounding healthy tissue is avoided. Dr. S. Subramanian, renowned for his work in the area of deep hypothermia, has established a strong program of research at the Children's Hospital. Myocardial preservation during periods of ischemia required for coronary bypass reconstruction has been furthered by the work of George Schimert and his associates, Thomas Lajos and Arthur Lee. Their research is directed at preventing cardiac damage while the heart is separated from its normal blood supply during surgery or while it is being held for possible transplantation. W. G. Schenk, Chairman of the department, is conducting research on the distribution of blood throughout various organs of the body in septic shock. Unlike other conditions of shock where cardiac output is reduced, a high level of energy is expended by the heart in patients with severe infections. This level of exertion cannot be sustained by many patients, even though vigorous heart function seems to increase the patient's chances of survival. By identifying where blood is needed in these patients, Dr. Schenk hopes to find ways to reduce blood flow to organs and tissues where blood is less vitally needed. Thus, the heart may be relieved of some of its burden 45 �and protected for the long-term benefit of the patient. The high regard enjoyed by members of the Department of Surgery rests clearly and solidly upon their contributions to the understanding of human physiology and biochemistry as well as upon their advancement of surgical practice. Keen observation, the utilization of modern computer technology for the analysis of clinical data and commitment to patient care are combined to form a firm basis for further scientific and medical achievements. Urology RESEARCH IN UROLOGY is concentrated upon cancer of the prostate and its management. Various combinations of cryosurgery and adjunctive chemotherapy are being tried and assessed in terms of their effectiveness in curing or palliating prostatic conditions. Debulking by freezing tumors seems to stimulate the immune response as well as provide for the safe removal of malignant tissue. This is followed by a carefully designed regimen of treatment with either 5-FU, cytotoxan or adriamycin to help assure elimination or at least stabilization of the disease. Promising results from these clinical trials have been obtained, especially in patients in advanced stages of malignant disease. Although the cryosurgical procedures involved in these clinical studies have been well developed under the leadership of Maurice Gonder, the chemotherapeutic agents used in treating urologic carcinomas are less well understood. Ruben Cartegena is investigating the efficacy and mode of action of drugs such as diaminodichloroplatinum, Sinemet® and Lergotrile®. These last two substances, known to be inhibitors of prolactin secretion, block the uptake of testosterone by the prostate. Quantitative measures of their action in various stages of prostatic carcinoma are being obtained in order to provide a sound basis for their use in therapy. In related studies the role of prolactin and androgen receptors is being investigated by biochemist W. Roy Slaunwhite. His work is 46 enlarging the scientific basis for treatment modalities involving hormonal manipulation. The significance of his work has been recognized by the National Institutes of Health, which has steadily funded his research in this area. In collaboration with Wells Farnsworth, Dr. Slaunwhite is also studying the effect of LDopa upon prolactin and, in turn, upon the metabolism of testosterone. In controlled clinical trials, patients with advanced prostate cancer seem to improve following administration of L-Dopa. However, even before appropriate therapy can be designed, thorough evaluation of apparently cancerous conditions is essential. For this reason, the urologists are trying to correlate clinical observations such as physical palpability and data from needle biopsy and histological diagnosis with various stages of the disease process. The aim of this work is to provide physicians with a frame of reference for interpreting symptoms and assessing the severity of the disease, prior to the initiation of therapy. Roswell Park Memorial Institute RoswELL PARK MEMORIAL INSTITUTE observed its 80th anniversary last year with a continuing record of basic insights into the nature of cancer and clinical development of investigative leads. The integration of research and clinical responsibilities dates to the origin of the Institute in 1898 as a threeroom cancer laboratory within the University of Buffalo School of Medicine. Roswell Park now serves as the New York State Department of Health's cancer research, treatment and education center, and the latter role involves over 100 staff members conveying laboratory and clinical advances in cancer control to medical students, residents and area physicians. Research accomplishments of the Roswell Park staff the past year included the following in the area of treatment: • Two (CTX-5FU) * and three (CTX-5FU-PRD) drug combinations were as effective and THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �• • • • • • • less toxic than five (CTX-5FU-PRD-MTXVCR) drug combinations in treating metastatic breast cancer, and the five-day regimen did not decrease response when administered later as secondary treatment. Prospective randomized trails have proven combination chemotheraphy superior to single agent chemotherapy in advanced stage ovarian cancer, and a regimen of high dose Methotrexate with Citrovorum Factor rescue plus Cytoxan® has proven to be the most effective first-line chemotherapeutic regimen and second-line chemotherapeutic regimen for patients who failed on prior chemotherapy. Use of Ara-C and adriamycin is an effective remission induction technique in treatment of acute myelocytic leukemia, and retention of Ara-C is a strong indicator of how successful treatment will be. Combination chemotherapy and involved area radiotherapy has resulted in improved treatment of children with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Corynebacterium parvum administrations, when added to standard chemotherapy, extend the survival of patients with advanced, non-small cell carcinoma of the lung. Combination chemotherapy (including methyl CCNU, DTIC and vincristine) has proven effective in treatment of advanced colorectal cancer which has failed or relapsed after standard chemotherapeutic treatment with 5FU. Cis-diaminedichloroplatinum has demonstrated efficacy in treatment of advanced carcinoma of the prostate and transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Intensive multi-sequential chemotherapy involving cis platinum, bleomycin, vinblastine, vincristine, actinomycin D and reductive surgery has been effective in producing long clinical remissions in patients with advanced testicular tumors. *Abbreviations used here are: ARA-C - cytosine arabinoside CTX - cyophosphamide (Cytoxan®) 6 FU - 5-fluoro-uracil MTX - Methotrexate PRD - Prednisone CC U- Lomustine DTIC - Dacarbazine FALL, 1979 Several developments arose in diagnosis and treatment planning: • Measurement of glycosyltranferase levels can detect distant metastases of breast cancer 2 to 3 months sooner than current clinical or physical means, and response to treatment or relapse also is indicated. • The exact stage of chronic myelocytic leukemia may be established on the basis of the karyotypic picture. • Serum alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme levels may be followed to predict patient response to treatment for prostatic cancer. • Within certain limitations, CEA can be used as a clinical prognosticator after surgery in patients with carcinoma of the lung. • Radiopharmaceutical compounds (e.g., polyphosphate, hydroxyethanediphosphonate and pyrophosphate) may be used to detect the presence and extent of bone metastases in the cancer of the genitourinary system. Preclinical insights have established the basis for future clinical investigations: • Animal tests have shown that the effectiveness of Methotrexate against solid tumors can be increased by enclosing or encapsulating the drug in lipid vesicles for administration. • Using man-mouse hybrid cells growing in tissue culture, investigators have traced genetic information implicated in cancer to chromosome 8. • Aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) apparently has no relation to human susceptibility to lung and laryngeal cancer. • Researchers have developed a successful methodology fo r producing highly purified human fibroblast interferon in large quantities from human diploid cells. Several innovative demonstration projects have been initiated: • The nation's first Adolescent Unit devoted solely to the treatment of teenage cancer patients is unifying treatment and rehabilitation programs for the young patients. • A community cancer screening program involving physical examination, pap test, hemoccul t testing, and breast selfexamination instruction at six area hospitals has been established under the auspices of the American Cancer Society. 47 d- �• Pilot studies on effectiveness of ultrasound in the detection of breast cancer are in progress. • Patients with a history of radiation of the head and neck region are being screened to detect benign and malignant thyroid disorders. These studies exemplify the commitment of Roswell Park Memorial Institute to research into the nature and control of cancer. Edwin A. Mirand, Ph.D., D.Sc. Associate Director, Professor and Head of Graduate Division, Roswell Park Memorial Institute V.A. Medical Center RESEARCH SERVICE at the Buffalo Veterans Administration Medical Center provides an opportunity for a large and growing number of faculty to carry on research in areas of their own interest. Laboratory and office space provided for these investigators has grown from 11,700 square feet in 1969 to 19,100 in 1974 and to 20,800 at the present. An additional 800 square feet is now being renovated for conversion into research space. These research areas are supplemented by a 2,300 square foot facility for maintenance and care of dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and mice and a 1,300 square foot surgical research operating room and attached support facilities. Plans are now being developed for enlarging and renovating the animal maintenance area in FY 1980. Finally, approval has been given by VA Central Office for construction of a new Research and Education Building beginning in 1982. This facility will provide over 20,000 square feet of new research space upon completion. The VA Central Office in Washington provides the bulk of financial support for research at the VA Medical Center. The budget for the Buffalo VA from this source has increased from $500,000 in 1969 to $600,000 THE 48 in 1974, and is currently (in 1979) $1,000,000 bringing us to the top third of all VA Medical Centers. These funds are presently assigned to 26 investigators and to the support of shared facilities including an electron microscope, an analytical ultracentrifuge and an automated amino acid analyzer. A total of 62 faculty members are engaged in research on 112 separate projects. Of these investigators, 24 receive funds from VA Central Office and 11 receive outside funds from agencies including the NIH, the NSF and the American Heart Association. Work by these researchers resulted in the submission of 34 abstracts and the publication of 83 papers in 1978. Programs receiving research support from VA Central Office include studies of: antibiotic penetration into the central nervous system in meningitis; myocardial ATP levels in cold- and potassium-arrested heart muscle; the role of tight junction in renal water transport; metabolic and neuroendocrine functions of the hypothalamus; radioactive tracer uptake by bone and anoxic myocardium; the role of insulin and glucagon in hepatic regeneration; the medical or surgical management of angina; cryosurgery of tumors; intermediary metabolism in experimental obesity; red cell membrane proteolipids related to the Rh system; the biochemical and biophysical aspects of insulin action in facilitating glucose transport; control mechanisms of lymphocyte transformation; hemoglobin structure at a biophysical level; biochemical aspects of protein abnormalities in autoimmune diseases; mechanisms of proteinuria; immunologic specificity of cytochrome c; the biophysics of salt and water transport; new scanning agents for early imaging of myocardial lesions; and studies of new techniques for brain perfusion scanning. The VA Central Office has identified eight areas of research which are to be given support on a high priority basis. These include: aging, alcoholism, chronic ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive lung disease, diabetes mellitus, schizophrenia, spinal cord injury and tissue regeneration. Jack K.

These concerns were expressed verbally and in writing as well as through other channels of communication. The provocative article in question reported an avocation of an alumnus dedicated toward collecting memorabilia, particularly remembrances of Nazi Germany and World War II. The alumni and students were concerned that publication of such sensitive material reflected an antisemitic attitude on the part of the School of Medicine, and in particular, the Dean's Office and its administrative staff, and questioned the appropriateness of publishing non-medical activities of alumni, faculty and students. Neither the President of the Alumni Association nor the Dean review or judge material submitted to THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN prior to publication. This has been the sole responsibility of the Editor, as it should be. The only exception to this policy has been the personal letters which I insist on writing (and oftentimes rewriting) and the special Update Issue in December, 1979, dedicated to the current status of the School of Medicine. I wish to assure each and every student, faculty member and alumnus that there was no intent on the part of the School of Medicine to offend anyone, and that the article in no way signals a prejudicial attitude of the School. Obviously, the concern raised by those who were offended deals with the School's attitudes regarding the Jewish Community. If such concerns are raised in regard to religion they are also . probably raised in regard to other matters of social concern such as race and sex. The School hopes that it has been apparent that judgments at SUNY-Buffalo are not rendered on the basis of religion, race or sex. The faculty will continue to champion fairness to all and to encourage that decisions regarding acceptance to and graduation from medical school are based upon pe~­ formance independent of one's religious beliefs, color, ethniC background, or sexual identity. The same principles apply to faculty selection and promotion. These policies reflect my professional and social attitudes as well. Thus, although the Dean's Office does not censor the material presented in THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN. it does not encourage that material non-relevant to medicine or inflamatory to any segment of our alumni and friends be published. Obviously, each student, faculty member and alumnus is free to pursue his or her own personal interests without intrusion from the School of Medicine. On behalf of the administration I express my sincere regret for this incident and ask that those who were rightfully offended bear with us and help insure that such an error in judgment is not repeated in the future. On behalf of the faculty and administration the School thanks you for your patience, understanding and continued participation and support of SUNYAB's programs.D Sincerely, JOHN NAUGHTON, M.D. Dean ,, �Volume 13, Number 2 Summer 1979 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN [US PS 551-860) Published by the School of Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo EDITORIAL BOARD Editor ROBERT S .

SUMMER, 1979 1 �The family - The Gottlieb Dedication Dr. Gottlieb, President Ketter Dr. Gottlieb, his granddaughter, Elizabeth Porter, Mrs. Gottlieb, Dr. Solon Gottlieb, Dr. Gottlieb's son. The Bernhardt S. and Sophie B. Gottlieb Collection and Study Room dedication (May 2) was a family affair. Dr. Gottlieb, M'21, and several members of his family participated along with President Robert Ketter and several other university administrators. The 6,000 volume collection and room were established through the creation of a $75,000 endowment fund by Dr. Gottlieb. "This is my Blst birthday and one of the happiest days of my life. Both Sophie and I have always been interested in family psychiatry and people's emotions," Dr. Gottlieb said. He also reminisced about his days as a student at U/B. Dr. Ketter said, "On behalf of the University, I am honored to dedicate this collection and Study Room to the future enrichment of our faculty and students, and to the advancement of The Behavioral Sciences and Psychiatry. "The collection and room, and the endowment which funds them, represent one more aspect of the long association which Dr. Gottlieb and his family have had with this University. It has been an association typified by support of the University's commitment to excellence. "As is the case with most universities today, our Libraries have been severely affected by inflationary costs which have increased at a greater rate than acquisition budgets. It is extremely important, therefore, that friends such as Dr. Gottlieb are willing to step forward to assist us in our efforts to continue to enhance the reputation and growth of the University. We are deeply grateful; and we are proud to dedicate this collection, which will continue to grow, and which will serve not only the present but the future." 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �To commemorate the occasion of the formal dedications of the Drs. Bernhardt S. & Sophie B. Gottlieb Behavioral Sciences and Psychiatric Collection Endowment Fund, a special exhibit was arranged at the Health Sciences Library. The cases contain varying materials relating to the individual contributions of both Dr. Gottlieb and his wife, as therapists, authors, donors and philanthropists: 1. Original typescripts of their published books, along with several copies of the volumes. 2. Copies of books donated to the library from their personal collection. 3. Copies of works which were currently obtained utilizing the newly established endowment Fund. Health Sciences Librarian C.K. Huang noted that "the endowment created by Dr. Gottlieb will serve to enlarge and enrich an area of medicine here at U/B in terms of scientific material available to students and practicing clinicians." In 1966 the Gottliebs also established an annual award for the senior medical student who best exemplifies how "living and learning go hand in hand," through continuing personal interests and activities in art, literature, community affairs and other areas while pursuing the study of medicine. Other University officials who participated in the dedication ceremonies were: John M. Carter, U/B Foundation president; Saktidas Roy, director of university libraries; and Jonathan A.

He was right, we really do not need more of the same, in fact maybe we have too much of it already. Medicine today uses routinely numerous techniques and devices which originate from biophysical research. Prominent among these are radiological diagnosis and nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and electrocardiography. Many new methodologies are now at the stage of evaluation or of tentative general acceptance. These include, among many others, ultrasonic imaging, phonocardiography, laser surgery, ultrasonic Doppler blood flow meters, computerized axial tomography and mass spectrometric pulmonary monitors. Dr. Anbar's seminar 4 The introduction of this sophisticated instrumentation into the hospital poses a number of new problems to health care personnel and to the public in general. First there is the initial cost of the new equipment which in many cases is almost prohibitive. Next there is the cost of operation and service of the equipment, which together with the initial cost of the equipment, imposes prohibitive expenses on the patient. The hospital has also to absorb new types of personnel, such as the medical technologist, the clinical engineer, and the computer specialist needed to operate and maintain the new equipment. In addition there are the biomedical engineers, in industry and in research institutions, who continue to come up with new engineering developments and exert a continuous pressure to upgrade and update the equipment in use, making it obsolete almost on the day of delivery. In spite of the present severe fiscal crisis in the health care industry it can be predicted with certainty that the current trend of introducing newer and better medical technology to diagnosis and treatment will continue, though at a slower pace. The limitations on resources will, however, impose significant constraints on the acquisition of new equipment and on the utilization of the existing instruments. The extent of use and the ultimate utility of such equipment will be scrutinized and cost vs. benefit considerations will have dominant influence on the implementation of new techniques and devices. In order to cope with the new constraints, major changes will have to take place in the way medical technology develops. The current development of clinical instrumentation has generally followed one of two alternative patterns-first, there have been THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �engineering solutions and devices developed for some other purpose and the manufacturers or the development engineers, seeking a new market for their technology, have penetrated the health care field. The extent of this penetration has been in many cases a function of advertisement and persistence not less than a function of an optimal fulfillment of a clinical need. Second, there are clinicians who have identified a medical need but having insufficient scientific and technological knowledge failed to translate it adequately and called for an engineering solution to a poorly formulated problem. The engineers confronted with such a problem come up in many cases with excellent solutions to the problem as presented to them, but in some cases their whole effort may only marginally meet the real clinical need. Both these types of technological development have been lacking in extensive research that has to precede any far reaching development. For instance, in a development of the first kind a company that has specialized in flow meters is going, obviously, to advocate the use of a flow meter for a certain clinical need, even if the latter would be better served by a pressure transducer or by a heat sensor. In the second case, the clinician, lacking adequate technological knowledge may easily predetermine the development of a suboptimal or even impractical solution to his problem, by preselecting a specific inadequate technological approach. Meeting a specific need is generally a function of the preformulation of the problem, since even the most elegant engineering solution will not negate a poorly formulated problem. Both types of suboptimal developments of medical technology could be avoided if the clinician would be accompanied by a researcher (not by an engineer) who could help to identify and formulate the problem taking into account a maximal number of options, and who would select the best technical solution from the many offered by industry. This researcher should preferably be trained as a clinical biophysicist. What is a clinical biophysicist, or what is a biophysicist for that matter? I have been asked on several occasions what are we doing in a department entitled "Department of Biophysical Scie.nces?" Well, we must be teaching and carrymg out SUMMER, 1979 Karen Haydock, a graduate student, discusses her project. research in biophysics, whatever that is. But what is biophysics? Unlike chemistry, pharmacology, or physiology, it is not clear to many what is the connotation of biophysics. To tell the truth, there are many biophysicists who hesitate to define the scope of their own scientific discipline. The reason for this is that unlike most disciplines, biophysics does not have a single set of fundamental concepts or a central methodology. In other words you may easily find two senior biophysicists actively engaged in research who do not share any common intradisciplinary fundamental scientific background. This could hardly happen to two biochemists or pharmacologists. To make things even more confusing we have here a department of biophysical sciences which must encompass even more than just this elusive biophysics. So what do the biophysical sciences encompass? To answer this question is not easy, but it is a key to understanding the background of the clinical biophysicist. The advent of physics has completely and permanently changed the understanding of the world of biology. Although life and living systems are part of the physical world, the complexity of these systems and the very fact that we ourselves and our own cognitive faculties are part of them, made their objective exploration lag behind the investigation and elucidation of non-living entities. Physics has offered a critical and quantitative approach to many biological problems, including the most fundamental ones. These include the mechanisms of maintenance, o- 5 �Dr. James McReynolds, associate professor, demonstrates the defusion pump that serves the mass spectrometer. regeneration, and evolution of living systems or even the problem or the origin of life itself. Physics has also provided biology with many highly useful tools, such as X-ray diffraction, measurement of rapid and small changes in electric potential, atomic, electronic and nuclear spectroscopies, or devices to assess isotopic composition which allows us to study the dynamics of biochemical processes. These instruments have facilitated the exploration of biological systems in an unprecedented objective and quantitative manner. The physical scientists who specialized in the handling of biological problems and those biologists who adopted the concepts and methodologies of physics as well as its instruments, call themselves biophysicists. This development in the history of science, followed a course similar to one that took place somewhat earlier in the chemical sciences, where physical chemistry became a discipline by its own right. In fact scientists originally trained as physical chemists, who became involved in biological problems joined the ranks of the biophysicists. There has been talk about biophysics being an interdisciplinary discipline, but this is sheer nonsense, since interdisciplinary disciplines do not exist. There are inter6 disciplinary teams or projects and there are disciplines which grew out of the contribution of one existing discipline to another. The contributors generally have no impact whatsoever on their original discipline and their contributions are evaluated and appreciated by the accepting discipline, although their training and methodologies may be alien to the latter. If this process of contribution repeats itself many times then the contributors, who have a common background and similar goals, form a new discipline of their own. Ultimately they train new researchers, who were never involved in the original discipline, in the new specialty. Biochemists, for instance, contribute little new ideas or concepts to chemistry but they elucidate the chemical hehavior of biological systems. Biophysicists, similarly, do not make their contributions to physics-they are not a special kind of physicist, but they constitute an important essential part of the biomedical sciences. Still their special scientific background and their objectives make them members of a special discipline-that of biophysics. Biophysics has generated practically every fundamental concept in modern biology, from the elucidation of the structure of nucleic acids and the genetic code, to the understanding of the complexities of organ systems such as the heart muscle, the kidney, Graduate students, Gene Nelson and Stephen Scott. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �or the nerve system. Biophysics has so profoundly affected biology that many modern biologists consider it unequivocally as part of biology without even referring to its origins in the physical sciences. Nevertheless, the process of transfer of concepts and techniques from physics and physical chemistry to biology is going on, and the current biophysicists continue, under the banner of biophysics, to contribute to the understanding of living systems. Biophysics has also a different, somewhat narrower, connotation. Biophysics is the discipline which leads to the understanding of the action of physical forces on biological systems, such as pressure, electric potential, light, or ionizing radiation, as well as with physical forces exerted by biological systems, such as electric potential, mechanical action, or light emission. In other words biophysics encompasses radiation biology, photobiology, bioelectricity, mechanobiochemistry, and bioluminescence among others as subdisciplines. This narrower definition is less likely to be challenged by the modern biologist, but it severely limits the scope of contribution of the physical scientist to biology. If Crick wanted to repeat today the elucidation of the structure of DNA, he would have to identify himself as a physicist while making one of the all time greatest contributions to biology. But as a physicist he did not increase the field of knowledge in physics, he applied an established technique in structural physical chemistry to a very fundamental problem in biology- he should be defined, therefore, as a biophysicist par excellence. We prefer, therefore, to broaden our definition and include both definitions of biophysics under the umbrella of biophysical sciences. This approach has another significant advantage, allowing us to include also clinical biophysics as a distinct subdiscipline among the biophysical sciences, together with different aspects of theoretical and experimental biophysics. Clinical biophysics comprises a whole array of contributions of biophysical research to the diagnosis or treatment of disease. It includes therefore, contributions in areas as diverse topics as diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, ultrasonic imaging and flow rate measurement, bioelectric diagnosis (ECG, EMG, and EEG), phonocardiography, radiation therapy, the use of lasers in surgery, SUMMER, 1979 functional prosthetic devices (e.g. hemodialysis, pacemakers). and different aspects of modern instrumental clinical chemistry which utilizes highly sophisticated techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance or mass spectrometry. Clinical biophysics is distinguished from biomedicalengineering by its objectives, its methodology, and its final product. Its objective is to apply physical principles, techniques, and devices to achieve a better understanding of clinical problems and thus lead to their ultimate solution. It uses research methodology to achieve its objectives, and its final product is generally a new concept or technique applicable to a clinical situation, or a device which provides a new or better way to tackle a specific medical problem. In the latter case we will usually need an additional engineering development phase before such a "breadboard" device may be tested and used under routine clinical conditions. Clinical biophysics, is, therefore, not infringing on the function of biomedical engineering, but is complimentary to it. In fact it should augment the function of biomedical engineering by providing it with new challenges accompanied by a quantitative, rigorously produced data base. Quantitative analytical approaches to clinical situations (e.g., cost-benefit and decision analysis in clinical diagnosis) are an integral part of the technical background clinical biophysicists are expected to use in the evaluation of competing solutions to a given problem. In this respect they have a similar background to that of biomedical engineers. Like the latter they may be also strongly involved in the application of computers and mini-processors in handling and interpretation of clinical information. Clinical biophysicists concerned with real time therapeutic feedback control systems are expected to also have an adequate knowledge of computer interface techniques. It is also conceivable that certain biomedical engineers who become deeply involved in clinical research rather than in engineering development will define themselves as clinical biophysicists. A clinical biophysicist who is expected to have a broad and diverse training in physics, physical chemistry, electronics, and computer science, and who has had research experience in solving clinical problems by the d- 7 �application of concepts and techniques originating from physics, is in a position to evaluate a new clinical problem and select the best among the different available solutions. The clinical biophysicist has generally no vested interest in a particular engineering solution to the problem and should be capable of evaluating the adequacy of available instrumentation for solving a given clinical problem in conceptual rather than in simply operational terms. Thanks to his research training the clinical biophysicist may reformulate a clinical problem altogether and meet, therefore, a more general objective. In order to be in a position to utilize his technical background and experience in a clinical institution, the clinical biophysicist has to have the confidence and respect of the medical personnel; he has to have a sufficiently prestigious status. To attain such a status within a clinical institution the biophysicist has to have a doctoral degree and to be actively engaged in clinical research, obviously in one of the areas of biophysics. Only such a person may be in a position to challenge a senior clinician at the level of conceptual analysis of the best way to achieve a given clinical objective, or even reformulate the objective altogether. A biomedical engineer, on the other hand, will not fulfill his function because he is trained to come up with solutions to well defined problems, and in many cases his main concern is to optimize existing technical solutions. A biomedical engineer may, for instance, find or develop a better elastomer for an artificial heart pump, but he is not expected to and generally will not ask the clinician whether an assisting blood pumping device is the only or the best solution for a given clinical situation of heart failure. This is exactly the type of problem to be tackled successfully by a clinical biophysicist. To recapitulate, in order to implement modern medical technology in a manner justifiable on medical, ethical, and economic grounds, one needs a cooperative team consisting of personnel trained in medicine, clinical biophysics, and biomedical engineering. The clinician together with the clinical biophysicist formulate the problem and select an optimal solution from a set of plausible approaches. Then the biophysicist together with the biomedical engineer will select the ap8 propriate instrumentation, if commercially available, modify and adapt available instruments or design and construct appropriate new diagnostic, therapeutic or prosthetic devices. The biophysicist, who is in a much better position than the clinician to translate the clinical needs into engineering requirements, is indispensible for effective development of new medical technology and for the optimal utilization of the existing one. To come back to my friend's question about our new diagnostic techniques-we are not aiming at the development of new and more sophisticated clinical instrumentation, in our research we are applying some state of the art methodologies to the solution of clinical problems which have no comparable alternatives. If we are successful, some new instrumentation will have to be developed for routine clinical use-this· is where the contribution of engineering will be involved. In spite of the obvious need for clinical biophysicists in clinical institutions, in addition to biomedical engineers, clinical engineers, and medical techologists, there are very few biophysicists who specialize in clinical biophysics and are ready to carry on their research work in a hospital environment. For only such researchers would be available as collaborators and consultants regarding the use of biophysical devices and techniques. To meet this urgent need our Department has initiated a graduate training program in clinical biophysics. The purpose of this program is to produce Ph.D.'s well versed in the different aspects of clinical biophysics who have gained first hand experience in clinical institutions. This department is part of the medical school and dental school and is affiliated with a large medical research institute (Roswell Park Memorial Institute), while drawing extensively on the capabilities of a number of departments in the faculties of Science and Engineering. The Department offers at present a number of formal courses in clinical biophysics, most of which are available to the medical students as electives. Seven of the 26 members of our faculty are researchers with M.D. or M.D.Ph.D. degrees, some of them being practicing hospital physicians. Four other faculty members are researchers with engineering degrees actively involved in biomedical engineering. The rest of the faculty have their primary training in physics or physical THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �chemistry. This combination of research and teaching staff provides a unique environment for the training of clinical biophysicists. Plans are presently drawn to allow undergraduate students to major in the biophysical sciences along three professional career paths: theoretical biophysics, experimental biophysics and clinical biophysics. Some of the undergraduates majoring in clinical biophysics may end up as medical technologists or as biomedical engineers while others may enter medical schools, but we hope that many of these students will continue their graduate studies in the field of clinical biophysics, since they would be optimally prepared for such a career. We believe that this intiative taken by our Department to train clinical biophysicists from the college level up, is a step in the right direction to meet the current national needs. Since there are at present few newly evolving professional specialties which offer challenging and socially desirable careers, there is a good chance that the training programs for clinical biophysicists will attract top rate young scientists. This will definitely improve the quality of health care in the foreseeable future and maintain a high standard in years to come. If our analysis of the present situation is correct, there exists a need for hundreds of Ph.D. clinical biophysicists to fill the Graduate students, Karen Haydock, Vahe Bedian and Van Kurtz, use the biophysics library. existing gap in the operation of clinical institutions all over the country and possibly all over the world. At the same time we are offering the medical students an introduction to clinical biophysics to make them aware of the extensive potential of this field and make it easier for them to communicate and collaborate with clinical biophysicists. Achieving this type of collaboration between these two types of our alumni is at present one of the primary goals of our Department. Biophysical sciences thus encompass the most fundamental problems confronting current science, such as the origin of life, how do we store and retrieve cognitive information, or how are the latter processes affected by our emotional states. They also include more readily accessible problems such as the mechanisms of rna terial transport through biological membranes, the mechanisms of radiobiological effects, the mechanism of bone remodeling, or the function of photoreceptors. And, last but not least, they include the application of fundamental principles of physics and physical chemistry to daily clinical problems such as providing information about changes in the elasticity of arteries, assessment of the radio-sensitivity of tumors or the understanding of the mechanism of cardiac arrythmias. The latter exemplify the contributions of clinical biophysicists.D �Physicians Give to the Medical School In 1978 the University received gifts from 778 physicians (through the U/B Foundation) totaling $323,571.80. Most of the money was designated for the Medical School. One physician made a gift of $180,000.00. We at the Medical School appreciate your support. Without your support many programs would have to be curtailed or eliminated.D Abbert, Martin F. Addesa, Albert J. Alden, Carlos C. Alessi, Edward C. Alfano, Guy S. Alford, J. Edwin Alford, Kenneth M.

Health Sciences Library The third annual meeting of the Friends of the Health Sciences Library was held in the Buffalo Academy of Medicine Room of the Health Sciences Library. The well attended meeting heard an optimistic report from the President, Dr. John M. Hodson. During the past year, the number of contributions of books and other medical memorabilia to the library through the Friends of H .S.L. were noteworthy and considerable. These included Dr. Archibald Dean's personal library presented by Dr. Dean; books of Dr. John Folts, Class of 1874, School of Medicine, presented by a relative. In addition, volumes on military medicine of the Civil War and World War I, belonging to Dr. Edwin Meyer, were donated by Mr. Anthony Ciko, Librarian of the Erie County Medical Center. Dr. Edward Rozek presented to the History of Medicine Collection medical books and surgical instruments. Gifts presented through the Friends of H.S.L. included photographs of various medical notables by Dr. O.P . Jones, Dr. Archibald Dean, and Dr. Robert L. Brown. A large group picture of physicians of Buffalo (all identified) circa 1899, was presented to the History of Medicine Collection by Dr. Lyle Morgan. Finally, the library received from the Friends of H.S.L. the completed bronze death mask of Roswell Park, M.D . This resulted primarily through the efforts of Dr. Robert L. Brown. He tracked down the plaster cast done SUMMER, 1979 by Dr. Charles Bethune just prior to the cremation of the famous physician; this plaster form was used and cast into bronze. Dr. Hodson also reported on the numerous inquiries regarding the Dr. Rudolph E. Siegel Student Essay Contest on the History of Medical Sciences, which the Friends of H.S.L . is sponsoring. He was confident that there would be many papers submitted before March 31st, 1979 deadline . Following the business meeting, the membership and guests were treated to an excellent historical presentation by Dr. Wilmot Jacobsen, the guest speaker. Dr. Jacobsen came to Buffalo from Johns Hopkins . After an active career in teaching and service at the Buffalo Children's Hospital, in retirement, he has continued his scholarly endeavors, especially in the fields of natural sciences and medical history. Dr. Jacobsen chose as his topic: " The Assassination of President McKinley-Medical controversy." The talk was accompanied by most interesting slides illustrating The Pan-American Exhibition in Buffalo, along with other related pictures to President McKinley's visit. The Officers elected for the coming year are: Dr. John M. Hodson, President, Dr. David Dean, Vice-President, and Mrs. Mildred F. Hallowitz, Sec'y-Treas.D John M. Hodson, M.D. , President, Friends of H.S.L. 13 �The 1918 Class Medical school enrollments are at a record high. The annual Association of American Medical Colleges survey shows that there are 62,242 medical students (4 percent rise] enrolled this year. There are 16,530 first-year students this year, a two percent rise over the previous year.D The year 1918 was an epoch-making one for the University of Buffalo School of Medicine. It marked the graduation of the first class of which a pre-medical course in arts and sciences was required. Until 1913, a student could enter medical school directly from high school. That year the American Medical Association ruled that medical schools which wished to maintain Class A ratings must require at least one year of pre-medical work from all candidates for admission. Although U/B was then officially 67 years old, it was only a loose collection of professional schools. It had tried, and failed, to establish a liberal arts college. In the Fall of 1913, to meet the needs of its School of Medicine, it offered for the first time a one-year program called simply Courses in Arts and Sciences. (Five years later this was increased to two years and, in 1920, to four, at which time the State Education Department authorized the university to confer bachelors' degrees.) The first pre-medical students were required to take chemistry, physics, biology and one modern language, preferably German or French. One of them, Mary J. Kazmierczak, had never really obtained a high school diploma. She had dropped school to help support her family and then studied with tutors and in night school to obtain the necessary credits. She had no trouble completing the required pre-medical courses and being accepted by the Medical School. The new requirement had reduced the number of applicants considerably and the class of 30 that was accepted was half the size of that of the previous year. Three of the others accepted already had bachelors' degreesAlice May Bullett, Everett T. Mercer and W. Edward McGarvey. Another student, who was to graduate with the class, Ella M. Bergtold, was already in Medical School and so did not have to conform to the requirement of a pre-medical year. She had been admitted in 1912 and had been going to school half time, working the other half for Dr. Grover W. Wende, noted Buffalo dermatologist. There were no government loans or incentive payments for students in those days. Tuition for the pre-medical year was $100, that for the first two years of medical school $185, the last two $225. The class included the three women previously mentioned and a fourth, Katherine F. Carnivale. There was also a black, Henry Harrison Lewis, and Abdo M. Haroney, of Syrian background. Only two students had automobiles and only one, Dr. Stanislaus Nowak, married during his medical school years. The responsibilities of marriage on a limited budget were too much for him and he failed to graduate with the class. Three others dropped out earlier - one because he couldn't tolerate dissection, two because of illness. In the class' junior year the United States entered World War I. Some of the students joined the Red Cross Society, the Medical Reserve Corps or both. Those who could afford it purchased Liberty Loan Bonds. Classes ended in April, 1918, so that the students could take an intensive course of field military medicine. 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The year book advertises military uniforms - $35 and up for those of serge or wool, $7.50 for khaki. "What part some of us must take in this great war we know not," the editor commented. "For all the future is hazy and uncertain." But of one thing there was no doubt. "Surely the medicine of tomorrow will be on a higher plane than that of today, and the doctors of tomorrow will be accomplishing wonders unheard of today." Dr. Herbert U. Williams, professor of pathology, predicted what some of those "wonders" might be in his article on "The Outlook of Medicine." His predictions proved amazingly accurate. They included: • The development of precision instruments for diagnosis, instruments that would be used as generally as the thermometer and the stethoscope. • The harnessing of new forms of radiant energy, like the "spectacular recent discoveries X-and radium rays." • The ability to look into the living body and see details of soft tissue "as clearly as we can read a printed page." • New medicinal compounds with results as far-reaching as those that came from ether and cocaine. • New specific drugs of value, "such as quinine is for malaria. " • A substance that will kill bacteria in the human body without injuring tissues. • Isolation of the organisms responsible for infections such as smallpox and scarlet fever. • Development of antitoxins in cultures of living cells growing in synthetic media instead of a live horse. • On the economic side, more salaried positions under the government, fewer independent practitioners, some form of insurance that would put the expense of sickness on the community instead of on the sufferer. Dr. Williams was less sure about the discovery of the causes and cure of malignant tumors. Whether these would be found during the lifetime of anyone then living, he said, "cannot be predicted from data in sight." Dr. James E. King, who taught obstetrics and gynecology, urged the importance of postgraduate study, in patients, consultations, courses and clinics. In medical school, he pointed out, one doesn't learn medicine - only how to study medicine. The successful physician "realizes the limitations" of his training and continually updates it. The year book was dedicated to another professor, Anatomist James A. Gibson, who had died earlier in the year. The James A. Gibson Anatomical Society is named for him. What, then, of the Class of 1918? Dr. Dan H. Mellen, who practiced surgery in Rome, N.Y. , became president of the State Medical Society, commissioner of public welfare in Rome, owner of the former Rome Colonels Baseball Club. After his death in 1957 his sister, Marian E. Mellen, gave $25,000 in his memory for the general support of the School of Medicine. SUMMER, 1979 15 d- �Dr. Kazmierczak, the first woman of Polish-American parentage to be licensed as a physician in New York State, became a leader in her profession and the community. She served as secretary of the Erie County Medical Society, its first woman delegate to the State Medical Society, president of the local Women Physicians League and the Women's Medical Society of New York State; scholarship chairman for the American Medical Women's Association. She was twice president of the Buffalo Board of Education, secretary of the Buffalo City Planning Commission, a member of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee of Blue Cross of Western New York. In 1953 both she and Dr. Mellen were cited by U/B for their leadership in civic affairs. Dr. Louis C. Kress became director of the New York State Institute for the Study of Malignant Disease now Roswell Park Memorial Institute. Dr. Lewis, believed to be the first black graduated from the Medical School, practiced on Michigan Ave. and helped found Phi Omega Chapter of Omega Psi Phi, graduate chapter of the national black fraternity founded here in the 20s. He died in 1952 at the age of 57. Dr. Haroney also died while relatively young. Dr. Bullett married another member of the class, Dr. Garry R. Burke. They went to Puerto Rico to do their internships and become medical missionaries. Dr. Burke died some years ago. Dr. Bullett lives in Alameda, Calif. Dr. Nowak went back to school and got his degree the following year. He died Oct. 31, 1977, in Lansing, Ill. Four members of the class still live in the Buffalo area. Only one, Dr. Mercer who lives in Hamburg, still sees any patients. The others, all retired, are Dr. Kazmierczak, Dr. Morris Newman and Dr. John D. Fadale of West Seneca. A fifth, Dr. Joseph P. Garen, lives in Rochester.D Continuing Education June 4-8- June June July Sept 8-1021-2319-2114-16- Five continuing medical education programs are scheduled for summer and early fall, according to Dr. Martin Wingate, assistant dean and professor of Gyn/Ob. Infant Nutrition and Development of GI Tract (presented by the Pediatrics Department) Workshops in Cardiac Auscultation (American College of Cardiology) Advances in Pediatrics (Pediatrics Department) Pediatric and Adult Allergy and Clinical Immunology (Department of Pediatrics) Gynecologic Surgery, Dr. David Nichols, Professor of Gyn/Ob 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN . �Since graduating from the Medical School in 1965 Dr. Daniel S.P. Schubert has enjoyed a distinguished career as a clinician, educator and author. He has been on the faculty of the Case Western Reserve University Medical School since 1972. He was promoted to associate professor of psychiatry in 1977. He is also director of research in the department of psychiatry at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital. Some of Dr. Schubert's current professional activities include examining candidates for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He is also secretary of the hospital medical staff and the Cleveland Psychiatry Society. In 1975 he served as a delegate to the Ohio Psychiatric Society. The following year he received a special award for outstanding service to the Council of the Ohio Psychiatric Association. Since 1971 Dr. Schubert has been consulting editor, Journal of Creative Behavior. He has been associate editor, Ohio Psychiatric Association Newsletter since 1975. He also has served on numerous committees. Dr. Schubert has authored or co-authored 30 articles for professional journals; presented nine papers at scientific meetings; reviewed eight books and has several other articles in press. Dr. Schubert received his B.A. rcum laude) from U/B in 1955. In 1969 he received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Chicago. He interned at Meyer Memorial Hospital and took his residency in psychiatry at Yale, 1969-72. In 1969 Dr. Schubert married Nancy S. Lapham. The couple has a son, Alexander, born in 1973. They live in Shaker Heights and are active in church and civic activities.O Dr. Schubert Dr. Schubert Family Medicine Dr. Pohl A 1976 Medical School graduate is happy with his life and the choices he has made. Dr. Melvin I. Pohl said, "I really enjoy what I do. I feel like I'm good at what I do, and getting better." He is a resident in family medicine at the Deaconess Hospital. "I have more responsibility. I spend three half-days at the Family Practice Center treating patients. The intimacy with patients is the thing I enjoy the most. Listening to my patients, examining them and then treating them is very rewarding," Dr. Pohl said. The 26-year-old physician is glad that his first year of internship is behind him. "My internship was an intense year of hard work, fatigue, frustration and fear. I worked 10 hours a day, five days a week. Every third night I worked all night and the following day." Dr. Pohl's hobbies include travel, swimming, reading and playing the piano. Both professionally and personally, he is relaxed, confident and interested in people.O SUMMER, 1979 17 �Human Values Medical Ethics A student faculty panel suggested that dehumanization is caused in part by the 'tons' of material , some of it irrelevant, that medical students are required to memorize. "In my case," said second year medical student, Gus Geraci, "dehumanization started when I applied to medical school. "I was reduced to a set of statistics even before my interview. I was asked why I got a 'B' in organic chemistry. After my rejection letter I wondered who I was and where I was going. Then 10 days before orientation I was accepted. Once classes start you don't have time for friends and you are not sensitive to people around you. During our first two years we are rewarded for grades, memorizing, and spewing it back on an examination. "There is not enough reward for being a human being." Mr. Geraci participated on a panel discussion - "Does Medical Education Dehumanize the Physician?" - along with a fourth year student, Paul Paroski, and faculty members, Drs. Norman Solkoff, professor of psychology, and John Wright, professor and chairman of pathology. Paul Paroski noted that the transition between the basic science years and clinical years was difficult and dehumanizing. "I felt like I was back in high school. I thought I was losing myself. No one defined our purpose as third year students. I had no free time. All I wanted to do after leaving the hospital was go home and eat and sleep. Maybe we all have to go through this to be a good physician." Dr. Wright suggested that the current attitude of patients and consumers towards the medical profession indicates that something is wrong. He asked several questions: - is medicine an academic pursuit or a trade? are we just learning for learning's sake or to apply knowledge in a practical sense? - is there something in the training of a physician that makes him less human? - is self sacrifice a necessary part of the profession? - is dehumanization a pre-requisite for becoming a good physician? "Self education is the most important part of your medical education," Dr. Wright said. "You must learn to teach yourself after graduation, because 10 years from now many of the things you have learned will be outdated." Dr Wright went on to say that students expect to be introduced to life when they enter medical school, but instead they are introduced to death, especially in anatomy classes. "The sudden transition from lay person to physician during your freshman orientation may be dehumanizing," Dr. Wright said. Dr. Solkoff suggested that perhaps curriculum demands are so great that students are overwhelmed, preoccupied and less sympathetic. He cited a survey he had taken of medical and law students to show how personality characteristics related to academic success. "The results suggested that although there was no basic personality pattern distinction to the medical students, they did obtain significantly more deviant scores on the 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �masculinity-femininity scale than the general college population. Freshman law students expressed significantly more cynical attitudes than did medical students. However, by the time the two groups became seniors, this difference disappeared due to the significant increase in cynicism scores of the medical student, and the significant decrease in the law students' scores on this variable." At the outset of the seminar the participants admitted that they probably would ask more questions than they would answer. And they did. It is a very complex subject that can't be adequately dealt within one hour. But it gave stucJ.ents and faculty an opportunity to discuss the problem freely. In conclusion Dr. Solkoff said, "we should perhaps strive for a better balance between humanization and technical know how for physicians."D The rights of a newborn should and must be protected as diligently by physicians as the rights of older patients, according to Dr. Edmund A. Egan II. "The physician and other clinicians must participate in decision making on medical care given infants especially if the judgment of the physician is in conflict with the parents of the child." The case discussed at the seminar on human values and ethics featured a newborn baby born with Down ' s Syndrom (mongolism). The infant also had duodenal atrisia. The baby would probably starve to death in about three weeks unless immediate surgery was performed. With surgery, Dr. Egan noted, the infant could live well into adulthood although permanently dependent upon family and society. In such a case the physician should be an active advocate for the infant's rights, seeking to convince the parents to opt for surgery rather than taking a passive course. The associate professor of pediatrics and chief of neonatology at Children's Hospital, told the students that the physician has four alternatives if his option differs from that of the parents. He can withdraw from the case; seek a court order to perform surgery; abide by the parents' decision; or continue to care for the infant without surgery. When faced with such a situation, the physician must consider whether the proposed treatment will benefit the infant, not whether it will benefit his parents or society. The physician-educator noted that the treatment must have a minimum goal of achieving a conscious and pain-free life for the infant. If treatment if instituted or continued without minimum goals, it can be considered torture. Dr. Egan urged the future physicians to be more aware of their advocate role for the newborn when they are caring for them. "Don't have your decisions colored by emotional factors." In conclusion Dr. Egan said, "in your careers you will be faced with this or a similar case which poses an ethical dilemma. Think it through before it arises." d- SUMMER, 1979 19 Newborn Rights �Abortion "Having an abortion is a difficult decision for most women," according to a philosopher, two social workers and a physician. This panel spoke about the social, economic and emotional problems of abortion at the final medical ethics seminar of the academic year, sponsored by the Human Values and Medical Ethics Education Committee of the Medical School. Dr. Richard Hull, associate professor of philosphy, posed three important questions: (1) is the fetus a person with a serious right of life? (2) if the fetus is a person with a right to life - does the mother's views take precedence over the fetus' right? (3) should the right of the mother always be respected? "There has always been a conflict of interest between the mother and the fetus' right to life." The traditional view of when life begins as well as the recent Supreme Court Decision that said "the fetus becomes a person when it is capable of life independent of the mother," was discussed as well as voluntary and involuntary pregnancies and what to do when the life and health of the mother is at stake during a pregnancy. The pros and cons of abortion were not discussed during this 90 minute session. The history of abortion was reviewed by Natalie Evans, director of the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital's social services. "Women had more rights on abortion in the 1800s than since 1950. Even the Greeks and Romans had abortions. Our state legislatures became interested 10 years ago and five years ago we had the Supreme Court decision. Today the debate continues." Angela Lawrence, a Meyer Hospital social worker, noted that women's lib coupled with sexual liberation caused teen-age pregnancies to boom. "One out of 10 pregnancies in New York State are teen agers, and two out of four Erie County teen agers terminate their pregnancy. We make it clear to the young females that they have the right to decide whether to have the baby or have an abortion." Dr. Theodore Schulman, clinical assistant professor of gyn/ob, noted that 47 per cent of the abortions in the United States are 18 and 19 year olds. "This is the most difficult group to deal with because of the social situation. It is very emotional for these young women.'' The physician told the medical students and faculty that abortion is a poor solution to the problem. "The prevention of pregnancy should be our first goal. Young women exposed to good sex education programs have fewer pregnancies. Both men and women should use the traditional forms of contraceptives to avoid pregnancies. There are lots of problems with birth control pills." Dr. Schulman went on to say that 30 to 40 percent of all pregnancies in the United States are being aborted. "A decision on abortion is very difficult for all women and fathers. A value judgment is necessary."D 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The Aging Clock The human body may be programmed to self-destruct with aging, according to a California scientist. Dr. Takashi Makinodan, addressing the sixth International Convocation on Immunology, said "the immune system which protects the body from foreign substances, falters with age. As a result diseases in which the agents of the immune system turn on the body may occur as part of aging. The target can be any tissue in the body - blood vessels, the heart or the brain." The professor of medicine at UCLA said, "one hallmark of aging is loss of homeostasis. In all animals ranging from mice to man we see certain normal immune reactions decline with age. We know the decline is related to changes in the environment of the cells in the immune system and changes in the cells themselves. Associated with loss of our ability to respond to foreign agents seems to be a loss of ability to maintain self-tolerance. The rate of breakdown varies among individuals and may be accelerated by factors such as viral infections." The director of geriatric research at Veterans Administration's Wadsworth Hospital Center in Los Angeles has done research in which certain cells from young mice are frozen and later injected into them as they age to bolster their immune system. He said a means to control the immune system with aging might minimize diseases seen among the elderly. "We think the aging clock of the immune system is the thymus. One way to counteract aging of the immune system may lie in increasing the activity of certain cells as an individual gets older," Dr. Makinodan concluded. More than 60 scientists from 11 countries, including specialists in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and various hypersensitivity reactions spoke during the four-day meeting. Some of the other speakers were Dr. K. Ishizaka, who discovered the antibody class responsible for hypersensitivity reactions such as hay fever; Dr. Peter A. Miescher, who discovered systemic lupus erythematous as an immunological disease; and Drs. Nathan J. Zvaifler and John H. Vaughan who are experts in rheumatoid arthritis. Among other scientists on the Convocation program are former students of the U/B Department of Microbiology, including Drs. Georg Wick (Austria). Noel Rose (Detroit). John Klassen (Canada). and Juan Andrada (Argentina) as well as several U/B and Buffalo specialists in microbiology, medicine, pathology, and pediatrics, such as Drs. Milgrom, James Mohn, Ernst Beutner and Guiseppe Andres. A highlight of the Convocation was an Ernest Witebsky Lecture by Dr. Philip Y. Paterson, professor of microbiology-immunology at Northwestern University. The Convocations have been held in alternate years since 1968. They are sponsored by the Center for Immunology. Dr. Witebsky was the Center's first director. He died December 7, 1969.0 SUMMER, 1979 21 �Dr. Nelson Dr. Lincoln D. Nelson M'46 and his wife, Lenore, at work in one of their hospital operating rooms. When Dr. Lincoln D. Nelson, M '46, went to the Philippines 25 years ago, he was the only American missionary-physician for the entire island of Mindanao, second largest in the archipelago. He performed his first operations on the ground floor of a grass-roofed house belonging to Bethel Mission, an outpost of the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism, Inc. His wife, the former Lenore Butts of Hamburg, a graduate of the Millard Fillmore Hospital School of Nursing, assisted him. Today Dr. Nelson commutes between two 18-bed hospitals-one on the site of the original mission dispensary, the other on the island of Leyte 150 miles away-in a four-passenger Cessna 180 piloted by himself or his son, David J. He has a staff of more than 60, including four Filipino general practitioners, an American pediatrician, seven nurses, lab technicians and trained attendants. One of the technicians, Ella Grover, completed her training at Millard Fillmore Hospital in 1957, and is currently helping set up a new lab and office for a third hospital of the mission on the main island of Palawan. The two existing hospitals see over 1500 outpatients monthly and admit 150-169 inpatients. In 1974, in recognition of his accomplishments, the Philippine College of Surgeons accepted Dr. Nelson as a fellow. In May, 1978, Dr. Nelson was the first non-Filipino physician to receive the Humanitarian Award of the Manila Medical Society. Dr. Nelson's sights were set on the missionary field when he graduated from the School of Medicine. But first there was an internship to do-at Hackensack Hospital, Hackensack, N.J.-and then service with the Navy. When the Navy sent him to the Philippines in 1949, Lenore, whom he had married while he was still in medical school, went with him. The first of their five children, Linda, was born during their tour of duty. Lenore, like her husband, had always wanted to be a missionary. She had attended the Baptist Bible Seminary in Johnson City, N.Y., before studying nursing. In the Philippines the young couple spent their free time visiting the missions maintained by the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism and determining where their services were most needed. Back in the United States, Dr. Nelson was discharged from the Navy in 1951. Six months later the Nelsons and their family-a second child, David, had been born in the States-returned to the Philippines. Although medical care is improving, life expectancy in the islands is 20 years less than it is in the United States. Infant mortality is high. In the provinces, most babies are still delivered in their homes by midwives, but increasingly the problem cases are referred to the two small hospitals. Dr. Nelson and the Filipino general practitioners see relatively few of the so-called diseases of civilization-ulcer, high blood pressure, cancer and heart disease. They treat, instead, patients with tuberculosis, malaria, "snail fever," which farmers acquire working in the rice fields, dysentery and vitamin deficiencies. 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Nelson estimates that 30% of his surgery is for obstetrics and gynecology, 10% for goiter (the hospitals lie in a "goiter belt.") Cleft lip and choriocarcinoma are also common. The UB graduate is concerned about more than the bodies of his patients. On weekends he and Mrs. Nelson often travel to one of the 100 churches of the Baptist fellowship in their province. He preaches and counsels Filipino pastors. She sings or helps with Sunday School. Dr. Nelson believes that "a personal commitment to Christ gives purpose to life and the peace of heart so urgently needed in today' s world." Linda, their first daughter, is now Mrs. Steve Conklin of Santa Barbara, Calif. David, the missionary pilot, has a wife, Rebecca, and two children. Sanda lives in Denver with her husband, Larry Blanchard, a student in the Conservative Baptist Theological Seminary. Michael, a graduate of Cedarville College, Ohio, also hopes to attend a seminary. The youngest, Shirley, was graduated this year from Faith Academy in Manila and will study nursing at Porter Memorial Hospital, Denver. Every fifth year the family is home on furlough. They talk at churches to enlist support for their work and Dr. Nelson takes refresher courses to keep up with advances in medical practice. During his first furlough, in 1956-57, he worked in the Pathology Department at Meyer Memorial Hospital and took back a microtome so that he could prepare his own tissue slides. On his current furlough he is doing emergency room work in a hospital in Santa Barbara, California.D Sisters of Charity Hospital will extend its medical arm out to the Village of Alden by establishing a Primary Care Center in that community this summer. The proposed 3,000 sq. ft. center will provide the services of at least two hospital employed family physicians assisted by a medical resident with specialists available by appointment according to Sister Mary Charles, hospital president. The plan calls for Sisters Hospital to act as a mothership for the center. Electrocardiograms and routine X-ray procedures will be performed at the center and interpreted by specialists at Sisters Hospital. Laboratory specimens will also be sent into the Buffalo hospital daily, with results sent back out to Alden the next day. Alden fire companies will work along with Sisters own ambulance service in providing emergency transportation to the center, and if need be on to Sisters Hospital. The hospital also plans social service, geriatric counseling and health education programs for the Alden area. The center will be open 60 hours per week with physicians available by phone during closed hours. The primary care center will be the first of its kind in Western New York and should provide a good example on how urban hospitals can better lend their services to the underserved rural communities which surround our cities. The hospital will invest approximately $200,000 to get the facility operational.D SUMMER, 1979 23 Dr. Lincoln D.

The drugs are prepared in the early morning hours and delivered to each hospital." As chairman of the Joint Radioisotope Committee, Dr. Blau is responsible for the license that the medical school holds for the use of radioactive materials. The license delegates wide authority for the experimental and clinical use of radioactive materials. The professor and chairman of the nuclear medicine department at the Medical School said, "the broad license makes it possible for the center to provide health physics services to the local hospitals. This covers all clinical and research activities of hospitals using isotopes. Development of new drugs is also done at the Center." The educational activities of the Center includes teaching fourth year medical students, residents and graduate students in chemistry, biophysics, natural sciences and undergraduates in the pharmacy school. There is also a quarterly technologist workshop at Roswell Park Memorial Institute and a once a month continuing education program at the Erie County Medical Center for physicians. A new Bachelor of Science Degree program in nuclear medicine technology is offered jointly by the Schools of Medicine and Health Related Professions. Dr. Jehuda Steinbach, clinical assistant professor of nuclear medicine and chief of the VA Hospital's Nuclear Medicine Service, is the program director. This new program is designed to fill the present gap in manpower training for nuclear medicine by providing academic as Filling vials with Radiopharmaceuticals for delivery to area hospitals. well as clinical educational experiences in formal program of study.

Jones, Ph.D., M.D. Distinguished Professor Emeritus Dr. Jones gave this talk at the Roswell Park Memorial Club Institute Medical November 15, 1977. In the late 1940's, the Library Committee of the Medical School consisted of E.A. Sharp, M.D., '98, Julius Richter, M.D., '04 and O.P. Jones, Ph.D., as chairman. One of its functions was to approve requests for new acquisitions or to recommend them. The advantage of being chairman-there were no chairpersons at that time-was to preview the new books before they were catalogued and shelved. Hence, it came about that I ordered Mary Lou McDonough's "Poet Physicians." This was a fortuitous selection-at least for me-because portions of this book were used as source material in 1950 for a talk before The Elizabeth Blackwell Society. This society was a successor to the Women's Medical Club formed at the University of Buffalo before the turn of the century. Her book also focused my attention on Frederick Peterson, M.D. (U.B., 1879) who was subsequently described as a poet, pathologist, psychiatrist and humanitarian in an article in the Buffalo Physician derived from a presentation before the Roswell Park Medical Club in February of 1970. There are 412 names listed in the Cumulative Index of Poet Physicians. Of these, McDonough selected 110 for her anthology. Physicians did not always write classical poetry. The quality of their poems varied from lyrical heights down to the depths of mundane doggerel. It is a wonder that they wrote at all for so much of it was composed in the quiet of a sickroom or in the lonely house after midnight when they found a few brief hours alone.McDonough said, "Through all these records there runs a thread of lyric poetry about everything from birth to death, and one learns quickly that these men and women know whereof they speak." McDonough's book has an impressive list of physicians who wrote poetry including: Hippocrates, Lucretius, Keats, Rabelais, Goldsmith, Holmes and Zinsser. Of those who contributed truly classical poetry we have, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Havelock Ellis, Edward Jenner, Walter Pope, Frederick Peterson and William Carlos Williams. Since that time, Murray Verso has attracted my attention to some others, namely, Schiller, Erasmus Darwin-grandfather of Charles-and Sir Samuel Garth, who like Peterson had been a poet before commencing his medical studies. Now, let me return to Frederick Peterson who graduated from the University of Buffalo in 1879, but received his diploma a year later after he was of legal age. This has all been detailed in the Buffalo Physician but for those who may not have read that issue, suffice it to say that a school teacher in Sioux City, Iowa recognized his literary ability and constantly encouraged him. His verses appeared in a local newspaper under the pseudonyms of Pier of Redstone. (This presumably refers to Pieria, one of the early sites of worship for the Muses in Macedonia.) Peterson retained his early interest in poetry which grew with intensity throughout his entire professional life. In 1882 he wrote the lyrics for The Sweetest Flower That Blows which was set to music by James H. Rogers in 1886. This became famous and was sung for many years by prima donnas all over the world. In 1916 he published a book on "Chinese Lyrics" which was just the way his study of Chinese art impressed his mind. This time he used the pseudonym of Pai Tashun (Chinese for Son of Peter). The following poems are examples of his works: 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �William Carlos Williams is also of particular interest to us because he was one of the twelve recipients of the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws awarded by the University of Buffalo on the occasion of its centennial celebration in 1946. He has been termed a poetanesthetist, a physician who probes with words in the same way that he finds with a needle the exact spot at which to apply a sedative or a stimulant. His poem "Le Medecin Malgre Lui" which translated means the physician in spite of himself, is perhaps appropriate at this time. Sometime during the summer of 1976 at Lake Chautauqua, I docked my cruiser at Dr. and Mrs. Gordon Culver's place. Conversation covered a wide range of topics until the name of their granddaughter was mentioned - Caitlin. This was only the second time I had encountered this given name-the other being Dylan Thomas' wife, Caitlin Macnamara. This led to a discussion of Thomas' life and works-especially the film scenario "The Doctor and the Devils." The plot for this was woven around the character of Dr. Robert Knox, the anatomist of the early nineteenth century in Edinburgh, who was supplied bodies by two Irish laborers-Burke and Hare. This prompted Dr. Culver ('37) to lend me a book by Warren entitled The Doctor's Window. Unfortunately some previous owner had removed-or ripped off as we now say-the Frontispiece, "A Cure for the Gout" by Sadler, the title paper and the fourth illustration entitled "The Doctor" by Fildes. Fortunately the Preface was intact and signed "I.R.W., Buffalo, N.Y., September 3rd, 1897." After much delay-caused by the mutilation of an otherwise good book-I finally searched for I.R. Warren in the obituary index of the library of The Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society Museum. Excerpts from the Buffalo Evening News, 18 April 1951, are as follows: Miss Ina Russelle Warren, the famed "Lucy Lincoln" whose columns in the B.E.N. have been a household institution to millions of Western New York women for 39 years, is dead. The 73-year old columnist died in Columbus Hospital at 9:30 o'clock this morning (April18, 1951), 14 hours after she was struck by a taxi in Washington St., near Clinton. Born in London, Eng., 3 Sept. 1877, Miss Warren was the daughter of the late Margaret Davies Warren and William Fenner Warren, an organist. After an education, mostly in private schools in England, she came to America with her parents. They settled first in Ottawa, Ont., then moved to Buffalo. Miss Warren came by her literary talents naturally. An uncle, Samuel Warren, Queen's Counsel, doctor of civil letters and fellow of The Royal Society, was an author, an attorney and Sheriff of London. He was the author of "Passages from the Diary of a Late Physician." Miss Warren launched her literary career at the age of 16. She was particularly interested in verse on homey subjects ... over a 13 year period (1898-1911), she turned out six anthologies. The Doctor's Window was published in 1898. Information about the title page was obtained at The Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. The publisher was Charles Wells Moulton, Buffalo, 1898. SUMMER, 1979 27 THE IDIOT Through his misshapen soul and brain No thought has passed and left its trace, And all that brings man joy and pain, Finds in his heart no dwelling place; His life is the world's stain. The horrid vacant visage !ears And shows its heritage of woe, Its scars-the sins of ancient years. Could any love or hate it?-No! Pity may give her tears. HEREDITY I met upon the woodland ways At morn a lady fair; Adown her slender shoulder strays Her raven hair; And none who looks into her eyes Can fail to feel and know That in this conscious clay there lies Some soul aglow. But I, who meet her oft about The woods in morning song, I see behind her far stretch out A ghostly throngA priest, a prince, a lord, a maid, Faces of grief and sin, A high-born lady and a jade, A harlequinTwo Jines of ghosts in masquerade, Who push her where they will As if it were the wind that swayed A daffodil. She sings, she weeps, she smiles, she sighs Looks cruel, sweet or base; The features of her fathers rise And haunt her face. As if it were the wind that swayed Some stately daffodil, Upon her face they masquerade And work their will. �Le Medecin Malgre Lui Oh I suppose I should wash the walls of my office polish the rust from my instruments and keep them definitely in order build shelves in the laboratory empty out the old stains clean the bottles and refill them, buy another lens, put my journals on edge instead of letting them lie flat in heaps-then begin ten years back and gradually read them to date cataloging important articles for ready reference. I suppose I should read the new books. If to this I added a bill at the tailor's and at the cleaner's grow a decent beard and cultivated a look of importanceWho can tell? I might be a credit to my lady Happiness and never think anything but a white thought! In her anthology, Miss Warren had 115 entries of whom 30 were medical doctors. Of these Holmes is represented twice while Jenner and Peterson were each allowed one poem. Miss Warren said, "The volume is compiled especially for the Doctor, with the hope that he may find it a restful diversion from an arduous practice." In her notes she had this to say about Garth and Chaucer: Garth. "The Dispensary" is a burlesque poem in six cantos, written in defense of an edict passed by the College of Physicians, July, 1687, which required medical men to give gratuitious advice to the poor. The poem was published in 1696. Chaucer. "A Fourteenth Century Doctor" is from "The Canterbury Tales," and is the oldest poetic description of a physician in modern English literature. Finally, one never knows when, where or by whom a medical student may be inspired to versification. On 29 February 1940, the osteology assignment was in my gross anatomy course-as I recall-the temporal bone. Before the usual Saturday morning recitation, Nathan P. Segal, M.D., '43 asked to be excused for lack of preparation. However he did submit the following poem indicating that he had at least thought about the assignment. Ode To a Bone I sat and studied a human bone And just as soon my thoughts did roam No clothes are the ultimate of the nudist trend Yet barer still reposed my osseous friend. 'Tis utterly certain his favor you wouldn't keep If you assented that beauty was only skin deep Oh woe is me, I may have been guilty of a slur For I suddenly bethink me, the him might be a her.

Dr. Dennis Nadler said the written guidelines for detecting and reporting suspected abuse cases are important because, "unless you are attuned to it, a lot of it gets by." The acting chief of pediatrics at the Erie County Medical Center noted that up to 100 suspected abuse cases a year are spotted and reported by hospital personnel, but some slip by, usually because the doctor handling the case treats it without stopping to think the injury might have been the result of abuse. If a parent brings a child in for treatment who he or she has abused the parent is not likely to admit the abuse, according to Dr. Nadler, assistant professor of pediatrics at the Medical School. "Also these parents are prone to giving fake names, addresses or phone numbers. They even use stolen health insurance cards, in an effort to hide their identity and thwart any investigation. Habitual child abusers tend to skip from one hospital to another to avoid being recognized by the staff in any one emergency room." At ECMC, all suspected abuse cases are reported by hospital personnel on a standard reporting form, which is forwarded to the head of ECMC's social services office. This office alerts state and county officials and the pediatrics chief.D ~yocardial Infarction The pathway back from a myocardial infarction is slow. It requires understanding and patience, according to Dr. Allen Goldfarb, director of the Coronary Care Unit at Millard Fillmore Hospital. He noted that today the road back is safer and easier than a decade ago. "Education of the patient is the key to the hospital's program. We want to prevent a second attack and prepare the patient for discharge," the clinical associate professor of medicine said. Dr. Goldfarb is a 1951 Medical School graduate. The patient receives several pieces of literature that cover diet, medication and activity. The patient is taught some basic, simple anatomy and physiology, especially as it relates to the heart and its functioning. Many aspects of the program have been done before by several hospital departments, including nursing and physical therapy. "Now it is centralized and coordinated and small group therapy is used for the first time," Dr. Goldfarb said. "A well educated patient is much less likely to have a second coronary," Dr. Goldfarb said. He praised the dedicated staff who plan the materials and do the teaching.D SUMMER, 1979 29 Dr. Nadler �Dr. Argue, Lewis Smith and Don Flagler with a replica of a 1901 Olds. Antique Cars Dr. John Argue is an antique car buff. The 1935 Medical School graduate not only restores old cars, but he drives them. His summer car is a restored 1957 white two-door Lincoln Continental, Mark II and during the winter he prefers his 1972 Saab, which is fiberglass and rust-resistant. Mrs. Argue drives a 1969 Lincoln Continental, but changes to a 1966 Ford Station Wagon in the winter. She is interested in her husband's hobby and often drives with him to antique auto shows. Dr. Argue started his collection in 1950 when he purchased and restored a 1934 Packard Series 1100, rumble seat convertible. He has 26 cars (11 are at various stages of restoration). Dr. Argue has two good friends, one a body repair man, the other a mechanic. They work on his cars during their off-duty hours. All of the cars are in running condition and are frequently driven to antique car meets as far as Michigan, Indiana and Maryland. "We have no crash program. The men work a few hours a week or a month, and sometimes it is 10 years before an automobile is completely restored. The minimal cost of restoring a car is about $7,000," Dr. Argue said. 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �.. ,.. • One of his favorite cars is a 1935 Pierce Arrow, model 836-A (8-cylinder, four-door sedan) with 45,800 miles. It is a four-time national champ and winner of a junior and senior prize from the Antique Automobile Club of America and the same from the National Pierce Arrow Society. Another favorite is a 1935 Rolls Royce, Phantom II with a Hooper Limousine body. It is a 6cylinder, right hand drive with only 15,000 miles. Dr. Argue has had this car 15 years. A 1946 7-passenger Chrysler black Crown Imperial is another favorite. Dr. Argue found this car in Florida in good shape with only 35,000 miles. In his 27 years of buying and restoring cars, Dr. Argue has had to order a crank shaft from England and leather upholstery from Scotland. "This took some doing and it was months before we received our order," Dr. Argue said. One of his favorite stories is about a 1928 Reo that he purchased in 1953. "It came in 10 bushel baskets. It took 8 years to restore this car." Recently Dr. Argue bought another Reo to finish the restoration. Dr. Argue has donated two of his oldest cars- a 1904 Covert and a 1907 Metz - to the Wilson Historical Society. A new historical society building is under consideration to house the antique cars and other memorabilia. After completing his internship and residency at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital in 1937 Dr. Argue started his general practice in Wilson, New York. He has been on the staff of Millard Fillmore and Mt. St. Mary's, Niagara Falls Memorial and Lockport Memorial Hospitals. Currently he is on the staff of Mt. View Hospital, Lockport, where he has been chief of staff, and Inter-Community Memorial Hospital, Newfane. Dr. Argue was a flight surgeon (Captain) in the United States Air Force during World War II. He is a past president of the Niagara County Medical Society and the Gross Medical Society. He is a Charter Member and Diplomate of the American Board of Family Practice.D A 1928 Reo Convertible coupe with rumble seat .

Weiser who heads the Gastrointestinal Unit at the Erie County Medical Center. He is also professor of medicine and director of the gastrointestinal/nutrition division. The marker, an enzyme, is revealed by a simple procedure, he said. This procedure takes a day and a half to separate the abnormal from the normal enzyme in a patient's serum. In studies on patients, almost 70 percent of those with cancers of the breast, colon, pancreas or lung were found to be positive for this enzyme, he said. And in studies on the largest group -117 with carcinoma of the colon- 85 were found to be positive for the enzyme. "We actually picked up the enzyme in eight out of nine patients with cancer of the colon so small it had not yet penetrated the intestinal wall," he said. He noted that further simplification of the test may well lead to a screening test for cancer. "While there will never be an absolutely certain test for cancer, our procedure was positive in only one non-malignant disease, that of celiac disease which mimics cancer in its symptoms and in some tissue characteristics," he said. Dr. Weiser is now trying to develop a radioimmunoassay to screen much larger numbers of patients. He noted some new findings to be unplanned. "They are accidentally discovered," he said. In some patients with large, extensive cancers, the enzyme was not detected. "What we did find was a different factor in their serum that inhibited the enzyme." This factor, of small molecular weight, has been purified and, on early studies, was found to kill cancer cells while leaving normal ones alone. Still struggling to establish an operational GI laboratory at the new hospital, he hopes to begin clinical studies here as well as at the Buffalo General Hospital and Roswell Park Memorial Institute. "We have been planning these studies for some time," he said. Dr. Weiser, who came to Buffalo in July, previously headed studies on specific GI problems at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and was associate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School. Initial enzyme tests and the discovery of the new, possibly therapeutic factor, were developed by Dr. Weiser and former student Dr. Daniel K. Podolsky in the laboratory headed by Dr. K.J. Isselbacher at Massachusetts General Hospital. A graduate of the University of Michigan Medical School of Medicine, Dr. Weiser completed postgraduate training in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology in Ann Arbor. Following that, he was an NIH Special Fellow in molecular biology at Albert Einstein where he worked on bacterial cell wall synthesis and studied an enzyme similar to that of his current studies. High on his list of priorities for Buffalo is the establishment of a strong academic program in gastroenterology and nutrition with emphasis on the nutritional aspects of disease backed by a strong scientific base. In addition to his work on cancer he is looking closely at the role of vitamin D and calcium absorption in intestinal diseases as well as pinpointing the immunopathology of 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. He finds Buffalo an exciting place to work. He points to the excellent work under way on liver disease at the Buffalo General Hospital by Drs. James Nolan and Alan Leibowitz and the newer work of Veteran Hospital's Edward Penner and Jan Nowak. He hopes to attract new faculty to work on the immunology of inflammatory bowl disease as well as the nutritional aspects that come with aging. And there is the support by Drs. John Siegel, Edward Henderson, William Carter, Ralph Bernacki, Monica Spaulding and Morris Reichlin. "All have been very encouraging," he said. He looks forward to developing optimal collaborative programs. "There is much expertise available in Buffalo in immunology and oncology. That is what attracted me to this area," he said.D Dr. Roy J. Thurn, M'52, has written an article, The Gin Plague, published in Minnesota Medicine, April 1978. This plague from 1720 to 1750 in London and other British cities is an example of unprecedented mass alcoholism. It gave rise to increased crime and mortality and decreased birth rate. Its evil was brought to the attention of the public and Parliament by a writer, Henry Fielding and an artist, William Hogarth. The plague was controlled by taxes. Dr. Thurn said, "It is not the purpose of this article to make conclusions, but to present an interesting facet of history, the significance of which is enhanced by our present extensive problem with alcoholism. There are a few thoughts and questions engendered, however. One thought is that the gin plague was ameliorated by making gin too expensive for widespread consumption by means of taxes. Taxes are generally regarded as odious, but what would happen in our society if liquor was cheap? The federal tax on a gallon of distilled spirits is $2.10, in Minnesota the state tax is $4.39 a gallon. This accounts for one-third of the price. It might be asked, should the taxes be higher still? Another aspect to consider is that the gin plague is an example of a societal disease that came upon a susceptible population. Did the availability of street drugs come upon a susceptible young population in the sixties in the same way? Finally, did the gin plague in England in the mid-seventeenth century affect the outcome of the American Revolution? The generation of English soldiers for that war had its origin during the period of the gin plague." Dr. Thurn is an assistant clinical professor in family practice at the University of Minnesota Medical School. He is also associate director, Smiley's Patient Clinic at the Medical School. He is active in several state, regional and national professional associations.D SUMMER, 1979 33 The Gin Plague �Dr. Evelyn Cunonon, clinical instructor in pediatrics, and Mrs. Virginia McMurtry, school nurse practitioner, at school 61.

Cellular Engineering Man has in his genes the ability to live 95 or 100 years, according to Dr. Robert A. Good, internationally known immunologist. "But most of us are robbed of this by what I call diseases of aging. These include diseases of the vascular system, kidney, central nervous system and cancer." The president and director of Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research noted that 'cellular engineering' holds the potential to allow man to avoid the diseases of aging and die instead from "the beautiful death of old age." Dr. Good, who said his wife actually coined the term 'cellular engineering,' said the discipline is distinctly different from genetic engineering, "which is an emotion laden topic." The scientist said, "cellular engineering is here right now. We are able to treat 16 diseases from the very rare severe combined immunodeficiency disease to the more common aplastic anemia." He explained cellular engineering does not involve tampering with man's genetic makeup, but is "what we have known as approved medical practice involving work with drugs, surgery and manipulation of cells. But the goal may never be accomplished because it is linked to limiting food intake. Ironically, man has always sought food as protection against early death." Dr. Good's lecture was sponsored by the department of anatomical sciences at the Medical School.D SUMMER,1979 35 �Buffalo General/Deaconess Merge Dr. Casagrande Dr. Winie cki The newly-combined medical staff of The Buffalo General Hospital and the Deaconess Hospital has elected Dr. Peter A. Casagrande, M'43, clinical assistant professor of orthopedics, as its first president and named Dr. Joseph J. Winiecki as presidentelect, to take office as president in January, 1980. The hospitals merged January 3, 1979. Dr. Casagrande, an orthopedic surgeon, had been elected last fall as president of the medical staff at Buffalo General. Dr. Winiecki, who specializes in internal medicine, had been serving as vice president of the Deaconess medical staff and was due to become president of the Deaconess staff next June. Dr. John Hodson, M'56, clinical assistant professor of urology, who had been serving as president of the Deaconess staff, joined Dr. George A. Cohn, clinical professor of neurosurgery, immediate past president of the BGH staff, in being designated as an immediate past president of the combined staff. Other officers of the combined staff are Dr. Irwin Friedman,clinical associate professor of medicine, vice president; Dr. John Cudmore, M'62, clinical associate professor of surgery, secretary; and Dr. John J. McMahon, M'59, clinical associate in medicine, treasurer. Dr. Friedman, who had been president-elect at BGH, will become president of the combined staff in 1981. Dr. Oguz K. Sarac, clinical instructor in surgery, who had been secretary of the Deaconess staff, will become president of the new staff in 1982. Dr. James R. Kanski, M'60, clinical associate professor of medicine, who had been serving as vice president of the BGH staff, will become president in 1983. The combined medical staff includes about 780 members. The staff merger was accomplished under principles of consolidation and a single set of bylaws as previously prepared by an InterHospital Staff Executive Committee and approved by both staffs. The combined medical staff has also approved a transition plan to consolidate the organizational structure of the two former staffs, including the combining of some committees and the continuing of some separate committees for the two sites, all subject to review in one year. Current clinical department and division heads at both sites will retain their positions for up to a year. Later in 1979, the Hospital University Committee will recommend the choice of a single department head and, if appropriate , a chief of service. Neal E. Wixson, vice president for Professional Affairs at BGH, who played a major role in drafting the new bylaws and transition plans, pointed out that, "Our new combined medical staff includes every specialty and sub-specialty in the practice of medicine. The combined staff will be a cornerstone in the implementation of programs and services for a 1070-bed hospital in two locations providing a full range of services." 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �This is the largest hospital in Western New York, according to J. Allen Berne!, president of the Deaconess Board of Directors. "At the same time, this eliminates a total of 107 beds from our former separate operations. This is a major step toward eliminating the surplus number of hospital beds in Erie County, a key factor in containing the cost of health care in our area. These 107 beds have been gradually phased out of service at both sites in anticipation of the merger and they will be closed immediately, without any adverse effect on patient care." The Buffalo General Board of Trustees Chairman, Andrew B. Craig, III, said, "merger of these two excellent hospitals is a significant event for Western New York. It strengthens our ability to serve the health care needs of our communities and the region. It presents the combined institution and its staff with an unequalled opportunity to further expand and improve the Buffalo General and Deaconess programs."D Dr. Gloria L. Roblin feels strongly the use of hypnosis in the treatment of various medical disorders is valuable, but should be limited and carefully controlled. "When every standard approach has failed, you try hypnosis." The clinical professor of psychology in the department of psychiatry instructs medical and dental students in the uses of hypnosis. "It can be particularly useful for such varied tasks as relief of chronic pain, quitting smoking, improving psychoanalysis, curbing high blood pressure and controlling nausea during pregnancy." Dr. Roblin emphasized that hypnosis should never be used for any of these conditions until after a person has been examined completely by a physician. Whatever the problem that is being attacked by hypnosis, the basic method of inducing hypnosis is the same, according to the professor. "There is no guarantee that hypnosis will stop a person from smoking. I use the suggestive powers of hypnotism in trying to persuade my subjects to give up the weed. I say it is poison to your body, and hope the subject will quit. You can't have two urges at once - the urge to smoke and the urge to protect your body." Dr. Roblin has no explanation for what hypnosis is and how it works other than a general feeling that involves talking directly to the unconscious portion of the subject's mind. "The mind is a tape recorder and it picks up whatever is around it in sound and in visual images. The best subjects for hypnosis are willing subjects. A person who absolutely does not want to be hypnotized probably will not be."D SUMMER, 1979 37 Dr. Roblin �The Clinical Years Drs. Aquilina, Calkins The clinical years will be a new learning experience. This is what 140 third year students were told at a special one-day orientation before beginning their clinical rotations in the teaching hospitals. Four senior medical students-Robin Adair, James Creighton, Frederick Eames, and Myra Rubycz-outlined some of their experiences in making the transition from basic science classes to clinical settings. Dr. Nancy Nielsen, assistant instructor in medicine and chief medical resident at the Buffalo General Hospital, led the panel. Nine faculty members spoke briefly about their respective disciplines. They were: Drs. Marcos Gellego, assistant professor of gyn/ob; Ellen S. Dickinson, clinical assistant professor of neurology; Donald Becker, clinical professor of surgery; S.K. Park, clinical associate professor of psychiatry; Marvin Herz, professor and chairman of psychiatry; James Nolan, professor of medicine; Evan Calkins, professor of medicine; Joseph T. Aquilina, M'41, clinical associate in medicine; and Erika Bruck, professor of pediatrics. Dr. Aquilina also introduced seven new third year students who completed their basic science requirements in medical schools in France, Italy and Mexico. They are: Jack L. Gabay, Jeffrey Isen, Christopher Rigsby, Andrew W. Ross, Walter R. Siemian, Edward A. Toriello and Richard G. Williams. They will complete their clinical years at U/B. Medical ethics and human values was the theme of the morning session directed by Dr. Robert L. Dickman, assistant professor of medicine and social and preventive medicine. He told the third year students that they would have an opportunity to reflect on issues that they will be facing during the rest of their careers. "You will be troubled by major ethical dilemmas and this is the way it should be. We will try to suggest ways of coping with these dilemmas." Two audio-visual presentations-"Please Let Me Die," and "Who Should Survive" were shown. The first featured a 27-yearold man who was severely burned and had lost his eye sight. The second featured a new born baby with Down's Syndrome (mongolism). The Reverend Lewis Bigler, chaplain at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute and Buffalo General Hospital; Dr. Edward Marine, clinical associate professor of medicine and family medicine; Dr. Norman Chassin, clinical associate professor of medicine; Dr. Norman Solkoff, professor of psychology in the department of psychiatry; and Dr. Leonard Katz, associate professor of medicine and associate dean, led small discussion groups.D 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The Dr. Wehr Award The Roswell Park Memorial Institute named a special award after a 1930 Medical School graduate. The first annual Dr. William H. Wehr Award was presented last summer to Dr. Merrill A. Bender, chief of the Institute's Nuclear Medicine Department and internationally-recognized leader in the field which specializes in the use of radio-active materials for medical diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Bender is also a clinical professor of nuclear medicine and clinical assistant professor of radiology at the Medical School. The presentation was made by Dr. Wehr, who retired in 1968 after serving 37 years at Roswell Park. The award will be presented annually to senior Roswell Park staff members for outstanding work in cancer research, treatment and education. Dr. Bender, who joined Roswell Park 25 years ago, played a lead role in the development of radio-isotope scanning, which through the administration of radio-active material, produces pictures for diagnostic purposes. In collaboration with Dr. Monte Blau, professor and chairman, department of nuclear medicine and professor of biophysical sciences, he developed a highly sensitive photo-scanning device that became the model for present-day scanner instruments. In addition, they developed several radioactive drugs in use today. Dr. Bender also designed a highly sensitive and fast scintillation camera. It was originally intended for use in detecting tumors but now is employed throughout the world as a means of diagnosing heart disease without the necessity of coronary artery catherization and its hazards. He was elected president of the Society of Nuclear Medicine in 1967 and served on a number of Atomic Energy Commission panels and committees. From 1968 to 1972, he was chairman of the American Board of Nuclear Medicine, during which time he spearheaded a successful fight which led to the recognition of nuclear medicine as a special branch of the medical profession which deserved its own residency training programs and examinations. More than 4,000 nuclear medicine physicians have since been trained in this specialty. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, and graduate of the Harvard University Medical School, Dr. Bender joined Roswell Park in 1953. He was appointed chief of the Nuclear Medicine Department in 1959. Dr. Wehr was one of the first physicians in the nation to use radium in cancer treatments. He was on the Medical School faculty for 28 years (1934-1962). When he retired he was a clinical associate in surgery. He lives at Lighthouse Point, Florida, 33864.0 SUMMER, 1979 39 Dr. Bender �The Royal Flush Dr. Felix Milgram Dr. Martin Milgram Dr. Henry Milgram We hope that the Chairman of the Department of Microbiology, Dr. Felix Milgram, will forgive us the poker title but the situation is asking for it. The last member of the Milgram's family received the MD degree thus completing the MD's royal flush. The Milgram's family is a rarity with a century long medical tradition and all members of the family are MD's. Doctor Milgram's father, Henry Milgram, was a general practitioner. The wife of Dr. Felix Milgram, Halina, also a daughter of a physician, is a dermatologist in the department of dermatology in the Roswell Park Memorial Institute. The oldest son of Milgram's, Henry, received his MD in 1971 from U/B, after finishing undergraduate studies at Columbia College. He is a resident in the pediatrics allergy training in Children's Hospital in Boston. Martin Milgram received his S.B. from MIT and MD from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1977. The medical tradition in Milgram's family can be traced to 1886, in which year Dr. Milgram's great uncle graduated from the University of Vienna. The same University in 1975 bestowed on Dr. Felix Milgram an Honorary Doctor Degree in Medicine for his contributions to immunology. It indeed is a rare occurrence when all members of a family are physicians, but it is much rarer that all members of the family are also scientists. The major domo, Dr. Felix Milgram, once a successful practitioner, is a world renowned immunologist to whom clinicians and researchers from the whole world come for training. Doctor Halina Milgram, a well known diagnostician is not only a practicing physician but also an outstanding researcher. Doctor Henry Milgram has several scientific contributions in the field of infectious diseases and Dr. Martin Milgram, involved in research since his college years, is a co-author of several publications in the field of immunopathology. One may truly say that Dr. Felix Milgram who is a well known organizer of medical communities was able to organize a microacademia in his own home, which as some of us know, is not an easy task. On the occasion of the graduation of the last representative (Martin) of Milgram's MD family, best congratulations to the new physician, best wishes and much success to Dr. Henry Milgram and admiration to both parents.

Hermann Rahn and Charles V. Paganelli, professors of physiology and Dr. Amos Ar, senior lecturer in the physiology department at Tel Aviv University in Israel. "How Eggs Breathe" is the title of the report. A technique for measuring the pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in chicken eggs is depicted on the magazine's cover. Faculty members and alumni are newly elected officers of the medical staff of Sheehan Emergency Hospital. Dr. Joseph J. Ricotta, M'43, is the president and Dr. Joseph M. Anain, clinical assistant professor of otolaryngology, is the vice president. Dr. John G. Zoll, M'40, clinical assistant professor of neurosurgery, is the treasurer. The secretary is Dr. Jeremiah O'Sullivan.D In the experiment, the magazine says, "18day-old chicken eggs, each specially fitted with a metal connector and a fine plastic catheter, are removed temporarily from an incubator. A plastic syringe is attached to the connector in order to sample the gas in the air cell at the blunt end of the egg. (After the sample has been taken, the syringe is tilted so that the drop of mercury inside seals off the opening, preventing the gas sample from being contaminated with atmospheric air.) At the same time a smaller glass syringe is connected to the plastic catheter and a sample of oxygenated blood is removed from a sample in a placenta-like membrane within the egg. After samples of blood and gas have been taken from each egg the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the samples are determined." Dr. Frederick Sachs, assistant professor of pharmacology, therapeutics and biophysical sciences, received a $13,500 grant from the Muscular Dystrophy Association to continue his research project-"Properties of VoltageDependent Channels in Tissue-Cultured Muscle Cells."D Scientific American says the article "shows the egg to be a not quite self-contained life support sustem for the developing embryo. It holds all the ingredients required for the growth of the chick from single fertilized egg-cell-except oxygen. To supply that essential ingredient the egg 'breathes;' by simple diffusion, through microscopic pores in the shell, oxygen finds its way in and carbon dioxide leaks out." The authors said "our interest in bird eggs started 10 years ago when O.D. Wangensteen, now associate professor at the University of Minnesota, joined our respiration group as a post doctoral fellow. One day he asked, 'How do eggs breathe?' Since none of us knew, he proceeded to demonstrate for the first time how Fick's law of diffusion would explain the gas exchange across the eggshell of the chicken. We have since studied respiratory processes in the eggs of many bird species, both in the laboratory and on field expeditions to various parts of the world."D 46 Dr. Lucille Lewandowski, clinical assistant professor of psychiatry, defines stress as "a non-specific response of the body to any demand, unpleasant or pleasant." Having things to do can help people handle stress. She listed working with plants, caring for pets, reading and exercising as things to do to combat stress. Dr. Lewandowski is chief of the alcohol treatment center at the VA Hospital.D Three faculty members, who are also alumni, are the new officers of the Kenmore Mercy Hospital medical staff. Dr. Leo E.

SPRING, 1979 1 �Dean Naughton From the desk of John Naughton, M.D. Dean, School of Medicine Dear Alumni, Alumnae and Friends: President Carter's 1980 Budget proposals confirm the worst in terms of what medical schools have been expecting for quite some time. Principally, his message confirms a change in federal posture toward the funding of medical education and biomedical research. For instance, he recommends a reduction in the level of medical school capitation support by 50 per cent in 1980 and a reduction to zero thereafter. This posture has the support of Secretary Califano who is convinced that the health manpower problem, save for specialty and geographical maldistribution, has been resolved. The budget provides modest increases, mostly inflationary adjustments, in the biomedical research program. Thus, it is apparent that as long feared the Federal Government has every intention of disengaging itself from the direct support of medical schools. Although we would like to think that these attitudes are short-sighted and alterable, the current posture for budgetary reductions and stabilization makes it highly unlikely that President Carter's recommendations in these areas will be overridden. The above message, of course, means that SUNY /Buffalo as well as its three sister schools will become ever more dependent on state, local and alumni support if the present quality of programs is to be maintained and if new, needed programs are to be inaugurated in the future. In the years ahead, it is obvious that we will all have to work together as constructively as possible to accomplish the goals and objectives which we have established for ourselves. I am confident that despite this significant change in public federal policy that we at SUNY/Buffalo will continue to work cooperatively to make positive gains for the betterment of medical student education and health care in Western New York. Sincerely, JOHN NAUGHTON, M.D. Dean 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Clockwise above: Dr . Jules Constant; Anthony DiBenedetto, M.G.; Anthony DiBenedetto lectures to Drs.

Medical School Follies Some 400 students, faculty and friends attended the second annual Medical School Follies last spring. It was an evening of laughs, music, song and dance sponsored by the second year medical students. After cocktails the guests were treated to over 24 acts performed by students, ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. Photos by Barry Kahn, 1980 Class SPRING, 1979 3 �The 1982 Class Dr. F. Carter Pannill Jr., vice president for the Faculty of Health Sciences, welcomed the 135 new medical students at the opening orientation session in Butler Auditorium. "We are deeply concerned with you and your activities. This is a large university and sometimes it is difficult to get things done. When you need help, please come and see me. My door is always open." Dr. Pannill said, "in any case I will shake your hand in four years when you graduate. We are proud of you and wish you well in your new profession." The chairman of the admissions committee told the students something about themselves. Dr. Harry Metcalf said, "your average age is 22.8; 45 of you are women; 90 are men; 12 are minority students. There are 132 residents from New York State (59 from Western New York). There are only three out of state residents." Dr. Metcalf pointed out that the students were tops in their high school and college classes. The science majors had a 3.54 average. The Medical School received 3,500 applications and conducted 900 interviews before selecting the current class. Speaking for Dean John Naughton, Dr. Leonard Katz told the newcomers "we want your input." The associate dean for student and curricular affairs urged the students to participate in all the activities of the Medical School. "In spite of the prediction that by 1990 there will be an excess of physicians, there will a future for each of you. The medical profession is changing. Today's physician must be more aware and concerned with the many social and environmental problems smoking, drugs, alcoholism and the elderly." 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Orientation speakers : Drs. Metcalf, Richert, Schimpfhauser, Katz, Pannill, Markell a. Dr. Katz urged the new students to be concerned with primary care in the city centers and the rural areas. "We must all work together as a team to solve the health care problems of the future." Dr. Ross Markello, assistant dean for graduate education, said his job was to interact with the students and the hospitals. "If you have any problems, please come and see me. Things are much different than when I entered medical school 25 years ago. Sex was a dirty word and abortion was illegal. The life you will lead in your chosen profession will be changing constantly." Dr. Frank Schimpfhauser spoke briefly about two new programs- the year committee and the student profile. "We have made attempts to work with students and faculty to improve teaching and learning. The Medical School's year committees, made up of course coordinators and students from each class, welcome your input and will seek your opinions on how well we are doing throughout your medical program." Dr Schimpfhauser heads the office of educational evaluation and research. As a part of thd-SPRING, 1979 5 Dr. Plaut �profile program he noted that the students would be surveyed from time to time during the next four years regarding personal attitudes, career interest and expectations, and behaviors as student-physicians. Mr. Rudolph Williams, assistant dean and financial aid officer, discussed scholarship and loan support. "There is no money, but I am here to help you in any way I can." Dr. M. Luther Musselman told the students of the new and better benefits of the University health insurance plan. "It is the best program we have had." The assistant dean and director of health services also outlined the special clinics and other services available on both the Main Street and Amherst Campuses. There was a 4 p.m. picnic at the end of the first day but not before the students had lunch and discussions with upper class student leaders and faculty. There were also pictures taken, tours and briefings on registration and study habits by Meryl McNeal. Dr. Martin E. Plaut, associate professor of medicine, spoke about his interviews, rejections and frustrations in getting accepted to medical school in the 1950's. "Getting accepted is the toughest hurdle. You are well enough equipped to become successful physicians and most of you will make it. In 24 months you will be entering your third year clerkship. At this time you will learn to talk to people about their medical problems and diagnose their illnesses." Dr. Norman Solkoff, professor of psychology in the department of psychiatry, noted that the Medical School was dedicated to producing good physicians. "Medical ethics and dilemmas won't be neglected. Several special seminars are being planned for the year. We urge your participation." The final day of orientation featured a clinical case presentation by clinical and basic science faculty, luncheon with preceptors and administrators and a hospital visit with the preceptors. The students heard patient X, a 49-year-old man, who had recovered from open-heart surgery. He told them he was in good health until he had an acute myocardial infarction in 1967 when he 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �was 39 years old. The students asked questions and learned how his life style had changed before his surgery in 1977 and during his rehabilitation last year. The patient told the students that before his heart attack he took on more things than he could do. "Now I pace myself. I have changed my attitudes and work habits. I watch my diet and walk and ride my bicycle daily." Dr. Francis J. Klocke, professor of medicine, said "we have done this operation for several years. There are no cook-book rules on age. Recently I discharged a 73-year-old man after open heart surgery." Dr. Edward A. Carr, professor and chairman of pharmacology and therapeutics, told the students about the three drugs hydrochlorothiazide, propranolo, nitroglycerine- the patient had been taking during his illness and prior to his hospitalization. During hospitalization the patient went from three drugs to nine. During surgery and recovery patient X used 26 different drugs, not all at once. Dr. Carr asked a moral/ethical question: "How much can you commit to any one man?" The professor of medicine discussed drug interaction, time-delay curves and risky drugs. Dr. Barry S. Eckert, assistant professor of anatomy, showed slides of the heart in his basic anatomy presentation. Dr. John Wright, professor and chairman of pathology, discussed briefly the three stages of myocardial infarction - death, removal of dead tissue and scar formations. Dr. Murray N. Anderson, professor of surgery, said that if there is an obstruction in the artery "you can open it up or by-pass it. Heart surgery improves the quality of life and life expectancy of the patient and prevents future myocardial infarction. There is no upper age limit. The physical condition of the patient is the determining factor. If he is a chain smoker we might refuse to do surgery." Dr. Marjorie Plum, associate professor of psychology in the department of psychiatry, showed the students a 20-minute video taped interview with patient X about his recovery. He admitted that he was depressed after his first heart attack because "I didn't The clinical case was discussed by Drs. Carr, Klocke, Naughton, Dickman, Eckert, Anderson, Plum. SPRING, 1979 7 �know how it would affect my life. My doctors were always open and candid. I am strating a new life, working again and enjoying it. I think my life expectancy is the same as anyone." Dean John Naughton moderated the panel discussion that followed. He also analyzed the patient's recovery in seven areasmedical, psychological, physiologic, socially, sexually, vocationally and recreationally. "We put a lot of emphasis on rehabilitation of heart victims, the nation's number one disease. There were 1.2 or 1.3 million episodes in 1973. Half of the people survived. People who accept having a heart attack don't have a good record of rehabilitation, while defiers have an excellent record. Early, active and mobile rehabilitation is very important. The cost is staggering...:_ $17 to $30 billion annually." During the panel discussion, Dr. Robert Dickman suggested that the moral questions of medicine must be dealt with. "There is a scarcity of resources. How should we allocate them? Should the lottery be used?" Clockwise from right: Drs.

The assistant professor of medicine and social and preventive medicine noted that today the rich and socially prominent are getting open-heart surgery. At the Friday luncheon for preceptors and students Dr. Robert J. Patterson emphasized the flexibility of the program. "If some groups don't hit it off we will make adjustments and changes." The director of the program and clinical associate professor of Gyn/Ob urged the physician/preceptors to have a plan for their students. "The first 60 days of clinical experience is very important." Dr. Katz noted that this is the third year of the program. He told the students that the preceptors are doing this because they want to.

He is the only recipient in upstate New York. The award is given on the basis of scholastic achievement, leadership qualitities and qualification for and interest in family practice. Dr. Marconi, now chief resident of the Family Practice Program at Deaconess Hospital, got his medical education the hard way. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Marconi of South Wales, he was graduated from State University College at Buffalo in 1968. After applying to several medical schools and being turned down, he took a job teaching science at Bennett High School and a second, part-time, job in the laboratory at the Buffalo Veterans Hospital. He also began studying for a master's degree in biology at State College in the hope that the degree would bolster his chances of getting into medical school. With course work finished and only his thesis to complete, he reapplied to medical school. By late spring of 1972, when he had still had no notice of acceptance, he flew to Mexico and enrolled in the Autonomous University of Guadalajara Medical School. Since classes were conducted in Spanish, he was required to take an intensive summer course in that language before attending his first lecture. His wife, the former Judy Daly of Buffalo, and three daughters, ranging in age from five months to five years, accompanied him to Guadalajara. For the next two years they lived frugally on money they had saved and borrowed while Ron attended classes and, on his own, studied for the National Boards, Part I. (Under the recentlyestablished COTRANS Program, students who passed all parts of the boards could apply for transfer to a school in the United States at the end of the sophomore year.) As a student, Ron was instrumental in starting a clinic in a section of Guadalajara where there had been no health care for the poor. Today that clinic is an official teaching clinic of the Autonomous University. In 1974 Ron passed the National Boards with grades high enough to win acceptance to the SUNY /B School of Medicine. He was one of five students in foreign schools accepted by SUNY /B that year. (Since 1969-70, the School of Medicine has accepted 51 such students, 26 of them from the University of Guadalajara.) After graduation in 1976, Dr. Marconi entered the training program for family practitioners at Deaconess Hospital. He was the first resident from the program to take special training in obstetrics at the Los Angeles County Hospital-University of Southern California Medical Center, paving the way for a continuing affiliation with that institution. Today he, his wife and their four daughters - a fourth born since their return to Western New York- live at 4162 Vinewood Rd., Williamsville.D SPRING, 1979 11 Dr. Marconi �11 Faculty Retire Dr. Bumbalo Eleven Medical School faculty members, who reached age 70 on or before the last day of August, have retired.

Dr. Dewitz has been devoted to his profession. He rarely took a vacation. He enjoys hearing from his former patients and continues to read medical journals.D SPRING, 1979 15 Dr. Gonder Dr. Dewitz �Biochemical ''Profile'' of a Lithopedion by Drs. D.A. Pragay and Korenyi-Both Dr. Pragay is a clinical associate professor of biochemistry and pathology. Dr. Korenyi-Both is a clinical assistant professor of pathology. Both are affiliated with the chemistry laboratory at the Erie County Medical Center; and the departments of neurology and biochemistry and the Medical School. The Lithopedion "stone baby" is a calcified fetus. It is a very rare finding. Approximately 330 recorded cases are known in the whole of medical literature. The first case was described by Albucasis (936-1013) during the Arabic Era in Medicine. His observations were translated later into Latin and published in 1459 in Venice, and in 1779 in Oxford. The second recorded case was published by Israel Spack in 1557. Since the introduction of systematic medical publication, these observations increased in number. During a regular autopsy precedure performed in 1977 in the Meyer Hospital, a lithopedion was found. The mother suffered a myocardial infarct and died one hour after admission to the hospital. During the autopsy, the lithopedion was detected. This lithopedion was firmly attached to a loop of the maternal ileum in the abdominal cavity. X-ray bone analysis revealed that the fetus died at approximately nine months of age. From the very scanty data available one could assume that the dead fetus was subjected to a mild mummification and to calcification for 20-25 years in the abdominal cavity. Histological, morphological, electronmicroscopical and chemical analysis were done on the tissues of the fetus. The length of the body of the fetus was 30cm; the chest circumference 20 em; the weight was 730 gm (vs 3,000-3,500 gm weight of a normal nine month old fetus). Macroscopical examination revealed brain tissue, and then liver, large and small intestines, uterus and bladder in the abdominal cavity and muscle in the extremities. From those tissues muscle only showed definite microscopical structure. Dry weight analysis showed a definite increase of the dry weight in the lithopedion tissues when compared to normal fetal tissues. The lithopedion was completely surrounded by a calcified shell o.1-1.3 em thick. The shell showed an inorganic composition very similar to egg shell (hen]. Tissues were wet washed and analyzed for inorganic components. The study revealed increases in sodium, and magnesium, loss of potassium and chloride, and an enormous increase in calcium and phosphorus. All these data point in one direction: the mother organism tried to "inactivate" and isolate the dead fetus as a "foreign body." Properly prepared tissue homogenates were studied for enzyme activity. The enzyme activity of the extracts was only approximately 1 o/o of the activity found in the extract of normal fetal tissues. The following enzymes analyzed showed a low but definite activity: transaminases (ASPAT, ALAT) lactic dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (LDH, CK, GGT]. The isoenzymes of LDH and CK were also discernible in different tissues and showed the characteristic isoenzyme composition of the fetal tissue. Although lithopedions were studied in the past, this was the first time when chemical analysis was also performed. The detailed results will be published and are in press.D 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Fourth year student Robert Rose with Dr. Gerard Diesfeld, M '60, in Arcade, New York.

Primary Ambulatory Care Fourth year medical students are getting a good feel for patient care in the required one month primary ambulatory care rotation in the teaching hospitals and city clinics. Students have their choice of four departments- family medicine, medicine, gyn/ob or pediatrics. More than one-third of the students selected the family medicine program at Deaconess Hospital. This program gives students exposure to treating patients not hospitalized. Dr. Daniel Morelli, clinical instructor in family medicine, directs the program that emphasizes continuous patient care. Students in the Deaconess program can work at the Center with a physician in the community or in a rural setting in Arcade, Springville, Wellsville, Dansville, Warsaw or Saranac Lake. At the new Erie County Medical Center students see the range of common patient problems (diabetes, congestive heart failure, hypertension, arthritis) in the general adult medicine clinic headed by Dr. Carol Segal, clinical assistant professor of medicine . She hopes that the students will see the results of their patient evaluation during several patient visits. At the East Side Health Clinic directed by Dr. Jacqueline Levitt, clinical instructor in medicine, and the downtown alcoholic clinic students may see a different patient population with other health problems.D SPRING, 1979 17 Dr. Clifton Strong, M'44, and Ramon Pabalan, fourth year student, in Springville, New York. �Two Physicians Honored Dr. Bruck Dr. Staubitz Two Medical School faculty members were among 15 retirees honored at the annual Commencement Luncheon by President Robert L.

Martinique, a department (state) of France and aptly called the isle of flowers, has to be one of the Caribbean's most beautiful locations. Delicate and brilliantly-hued everywhere,from the north mountainous rain forests where the ever-present sun is usually obscured by rain clouds and dense jungle growth to the low lands in the south where sugar cane and distilleries predominate. The French influence is strong; our U/B party was quartered at the Meridien, a luxury hotel in the Air France chain. Located across the bay from the capital, Fort de France, a city of 100,000, the alumni made many a passage from the newer resort of Trois Islets by ferry, a pleasant half-hour ride. Numerous restaurants featured an attractive blend of continental and Creole fare, which delighted the most discriminating palate. The U/B party of 150 included dental alumni, who also were engaged in seminars, and about 70 others who were strictly vacationers. The program provided an update on current practices in cardiology and the psychosocial factors in cardiac disease. The techniques for alleviating stress was emphasized. The faculty included: Dr. Sebastian S. Fasanello, clinical instructor in psychiatry; Dr. Lawrence H. Golden, clinical professor of medicine; and Nancy P. Golden, family therapist, child and family service.D SPRING, 1979 21 �Dr. Debobroto Moulik, assistant professor of Gyn/ Ob at Deaconess Hospital, with second-year students, Wendy Kahn and Stacey Ackerman.

During the summer 37 first and second year medical students were introduced to primary care. Fourteen of the students were in Jamestown, New York for the first time, while the others were in hospitals, health clinics and physicians' offices in the Buffalo area. The Medical Education Community Orientation (MECO) Program, sponsored by the American Medical Student Association, is in its third year. Two second year students, Robert Shalwitz and Donald Switzer, directed the program. Most of the students were on six week stipends, while several worked for seven or eight weeks. Among the contributors were- the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education (APFME). New York State Academy of Family Physicians, Lamb Foundation, Jeffrey Fells, Gebbie Foundation, and Cornell Foundation. There were also several private contributors. The 42 physicians participated voluntarily. The Outer East Side Health Center and the West Side Health Center participated for the first time in this program.

His study is based on the comparison of the diet of 257 white males with cancer of the colon and 783 controls. The professor of sociology and social and preventive medicine noted his research shows that decreased frequency of eating certain vegetables corresponded with increased risk of colon cancer. His findings appear to parallel research in which laboratory rats fed cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts and turnips showed increased activity of a chemical which inhibits cancer. Dr. Graham said the study found no correlation between risk of colon cancer and a diet high in meat or beef. Several researchers from Roswell Park Memorial Institute were involved in this study.D SPRING, 1979 23 Robert Shalwitz, second-year medical student, examines a youngster at the West Side Health Center with Dr. Harry Beirne, clinical assistant professor of pediatrics. �Dr. David Dean, clinical associate professor of medicine, and students.

She will also be on the staff of Boston City Hospital. Her experience in Bradford prepared her for her new position. She was on the Bradford Hospital medical staff, and active in the American Heart Association. Dr. Herbert has also been the Bradford Area School District physician for several years and a consultant to the McKean County Department of Children's Services' Child Abuse Program. She interned and took her residency at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital and the Alleghany General Hospital in Pittsburgh. Dr. Herbert's new duties in Boston will include teaching medicine, providing out-patient care at Columbia Point Health Center in Boston as part of a training program for students in the primary care graduate training program and supervising in-patient care. The physician sees her role as a faculty member as one of encouraging residents to enter the "primary care specialty of general internal medicine" and to practice in rural areas such as Bradford. She says that she will now be able to guide doctors in these directions on a different level, on the teaching level, where residents make their decisions rather than on the "front lines" of the private practice.D Dr. Roy E. Seibel, director of the radiology department at Deaconess Hospital, has been appointed to head the same department at Buffalo General Hospital, as another step toward the planned merger of the two hospitals. Dr. Gordon J. Culver, who had served as head of the department at BGH since 1949, stepped down as department head six months before his scheduled retirement "in order to facilitate a more orderly transition to a joint administration of the two radiology departments," according to BGH president, Dr. William V. Kinnard, Jr. Dr. Seibel has been the chief radioiogist at the Deaconess since 1946. Born in Buffalo, he graduated from the University of Buffalo in 1935 and earned his medical degree from UB in 1939. He served as a staff physician with the H.N.JAdams Memorial Hospital in Perryburg from 1940-1942, did his internship at Deaconess from 1942-1943, and took his radiology residency at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, Mass. from 1943-1946, before returning to Buffalo to head the radiology department at the Deaconess. Certified by the American Board of Radiology, Dr. Seibel also is an clinical associate professor of radiology at the UB Medical School. Dr. Culver, who was 65 last February, is staying on in the radiology department at BGH for the present as a full-time radiologist and to assist Dr. Seibel in his administrative duties. Dr. Culver is a native of Randolph, N.Y. who earned his medical degree from UB in 1937 and has been with Buffalo General ever since, serving his internship and residency in radiology at the High Street hospital before being appointed as a staff radiologist in 1941. He is a clinical professor of radiology. Dr. Kinnard said Dr. Seibel "is working closely with the BGH administration to finalize proposals for early improvement of our X-ray facilities."D SPRING, 1979 25 Dr. Herbert Drs.

Deep Sea Diving I, 1 The director of the hyperbaric research laboratory has received two grants totaling $300,000 from the Office of Naval Research for deep sea diving research and renovation of the facilities. Dr. Claes E.G. Lundgren stressed that the research aspects of the project would be for the improvement of deep sea diving safety and efficiency. "We want to make diving more productive by studying the physiological and medical problems related to diving. We hope we can increase the amount of cumulative time deep sea divers can spend on the ocean bottom. The current average is about 30 hours." The professor of physiology hopes to give his students much more exposure to the safety and research aspects of diving. Dr. Lundgren suggested that this project could have a good affect on recreational diving. "Our civilian community is becoming more interested in swimming and diving and they will also reap some rewards from our research."O SPRING, 1979 27 �Dr. Ettinger Honored Dr. Ettinger Dr. Murray J. Ettinger, associate professor of biochemistry, was among 10 members of the U/B community to receive $1,000 for "outstanding" service to the University. The awards were funded by the U/B Foundation Inc. These awards are intended to begin a tradition of recognizing "dedication and meritorious" on-the-job and community efforts. President Robert L. Ketter presented the awards at the dedication of the Baird Point amphitheatre project. Dr. Ettinger joined the Medical School faculty in 1969. He received his doctorate in pharmacology from Hahnemann Medical College, Philadelphia in 1965. Dr. Ettinger was nominated by a colleague for "his excellence, innovativeness, and devotion in teaching, his creative and superb research," and his "very impressive contributions" to the Medical Faculty Council as chairman of its committee on academic and student affairs. A major contributor to the biochemistry teaching program in medicine and dentistry, he is especially involved with sometimes ill-prepared minority students. For these students, he and another professor, Dr. Alexander C. Brownie, developed a supplementary course which runs parallel to the regular one. "There is clear evidence," a colleague notes, "that in a large number of instances this enables students to achieve satisfactory grades and, indeed, sets learning methods which pay off in other aspects of the basic science program." Consistently recognized in student evaluations as a top teacher, Ettinger also offers courses for both undergraduate and graduate students. He is a member of the Bioinorganic Graduate Group, which consists of faculty from chemistry and biochemistry, and is principal investigator of two funded research projects. He is said to have "the most graduate students in his laboratory" of anyone in biochemistry. During Ettinger's tenure as chairman of the Medical Faculty's panel on academic standards and student affairs, a new approach to the assessment of student performance was devised. As another faculty member describes it, "he was very instrumental in getting us to identify problems as early as possible in a student's career in the Medical School, and this has led to appropriate modifications of that student's curriculum. The curriculum may be lengthened as a result, but the policy insures that students are retained and successfully complete their training program. We have been working with these guidelines for several years now and it is clear that they work. "0 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Clock wise from lower left: Dr . Francis ].

Erie County Medical Center Approximately 3,000 people walked through the new 775-bed hospital during two days of open house and ribbon cutting in July. The patients were moved into the 12-story building a few days later. The ultra-modern hospital is one of the finest in the Northeast. It was in the planning stage 10 years and took seven years to build. County Legislator Roger I. Blackwell said, " this is the most magnificent thing to happen in Erie County."D Photos by Sheldon Dukoff SPRING, 1979 29 Tina Santonocito opens the $127 million Erie County Medical Center with the h elp of County Executive Edward Regan. Mr 1 Regan is now State Comptroller. �Five Physicians Honored Five physicians were honored by the graduating residents in internal medicine at the new Erie County Medical Center (formerly Meyer Ho.s pital). It was the fourth annual awards program sponsored by the residents. Dr. Evan Calkins, professor of medicine and head of the new division of gerontology, was honored as the "outstanding clinical teacher." He received a monogrammed white coat at the June 17th dinner dance at the Sheraton-East. Dr. Calkins headed the department of medicine for 17 years. He received his M.D. from Harvard in 1955. Dr. L. Yu, research assistant instructor in biochemistry, received the $200 Semmelweiss Award for his work on "Urinary Catecholamines in Trauman-Septic Patients by High Performance Liquid Chromatography." This award was created in 1974 by Dr. D.A. Pragay, clinical associate professor of biochemistry and pathology, and director of clinical chemistry at the hospital. This award is named for Hungarian born Ignatius Semmelweiss, who pioneered antiseptic and aseptic methods of surgery and gynecology between 1840 and 1865 in Hungary and Austria. Dr. Yu was born in Taiwan and received his undergraduate education at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. He graduated with honors from the U/B biochemistry department and is completing a post-doctoral fellowship in clinical biochemistry at the Erie County Laboratories. Three clinical assistant instructors in medicine, Drs. Evelyn Bargman, Steven Lanse, and Edward Stehlik, won the coveted Norman Chassin award ($100 each) as the outstanding interns in the department of internal medicine. Dr. Lanse is a 1977 U/B Medical School graduate. Dr. Bargman received her M.D. from the University of North Carolina in 1977, and Dr. Stehlik is a 1977 Tufts Medical School graduate. This award is named for Dr. Chassin, a 1945 Medical School graduate, who is a clinical associate professor of medicine. 46 Faculty Promotions The following 46 Medical School faculty members received promotions effective July 1, 1978.

Seven new members of the junior class are transfers from French, Italian and Mexican medical schools. They are entering U/B via the United States Citizen Foreign Medical Students (USCFMS) pre-clinical review program of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Under this program American students, who have completed their basic science education in foreign medical schools and passed Part I of the National Boards, are accepted into the clinical years in American Medical Schools. The junior year for these transfer students started July 10, and lasted 10 weeks with orientation and intensive lectures and some clinical experiences. Since 1969 the Medical School has participated in a similar program called COTRANS, but external resources were not available to support this program. In December of 1977 the Medical School received a four-year $226,904 grant from HEW to establish the current program (USCFMS). The project director is Dr. John Richert, assistant dean and registrar. Co-directors are Dr. Joseph Aquilina, clinical professor of medicine, and Dr. Frank Schimpfhauser, assistant professor in social and preventive medicine. The 12 facilitators are: Drs.

Long Memorial Hospital, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, La., Nov. 21, 1977, be his obituary in the Bu ffalo Physician.D When my classmates and I went out to the Meyer Hospital, your Surgical and Autopsy Pathology Conferences were like a spot of sunshine in a stormy week. Your humorous and live way of bringing out a point and keeping our attention interested me in teaching, and influenced my style, even now. (I remember how you accused me of being cocksure about my diagnosis of a penile lesion, to the loud guffaws of Hal Peskowitz and Charlie Ross!) Surgeons like Anatomic Pathologists, who are unfortunately being outnumbered by Clinical Pathologists these days. Another thing: You knew and recognized us as individuals, even by name, frequently. Some of us even felt familiar enough with you to call you by your first name, Sam, or Sam·my, a very rare thing in medical studentprofessor relationships! At any rate, the memory of your warm, loving and lovable relationships with your students does continue to inspire me. That a person such as you should get the disease you have is ironic, and makes me sad and angry. I am sure you have been angry too, to say the least, and I personally happen to think that may explain the remarkable success you have had in your long fight. Fight on! We are all pilgrims through life. You're making the most of your pilgrimage, even though the way has been pretty rocky during the past few years. As a matter of fact, in my estimate you are making more out of your pilgrimage because the way is rocky. Comfort is very important, and I wish that for you.D Dr. Spencer Z.

WINTER, 1978 1 �Medical School Admissions is directed by Dr. Harry Metcalf. The Director is responsible for the activities of the admissions staff, and he is ably assisted by the Coordinator, Dr. Phyllis Blazer. In addition he chairs and coordinates the work of the Admissions Committee. This committee's membership is recommended to the Dean by the Admissions Policy Committee, a standing committee of the Faculty Council, and is appointed by the Dean. Since 1976 the committee has had representation from the student body as well as from full-time and voluntary faculty. T HE OFFICE OF MEDICAL SCHOOL ADMISSIONS Introduction T his report is designed to summarize the many and varied medical education activities currently conducted either under the auspices of or in collaboration with the SU Y/Buffalo School of Medicine. A status report to the alumni and friends of the school seemed particularly appropriate at this time because the institution is about mid-way between accreditation visits by The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). a substantial number of changes in faculty, administration and facilities have occurred within a relatively short span of time, and because the faculty, administration and student body will soon embark on a self-study in preparation for the next accreditation visit by the LCME in October, 1980. Although historically such a report must be viewed as a cross-sectional analysis of the life of the institution, it is hopefully coordinated in such a manner that the longitudinal nature of the enterprise can be appreciated by those who have been associated with the School of Medicine for a period of years and so that future change can be appreciated in proper context by those who have become a part of the institution only recently. The contents of this report were sought from and contributed by a large number of individuals. The necessity to limit the size of the report required a great deal of collation and synthesis, and unfortunately, a considerable amount of deletion. Hopefully, those individuals whose submissions were altered will understand this need and will appreciate that such decisions were not based on any differences in personal points of view. The present report serves to present a coordinated view of the School of Medicine and enables the school's alumni and friends to comprehend the enormity and complexities of its present responsibilities and programs. 2 Med1col School Applicol1ons, committee Accepts, and Enrollment, 1964-1978 55 45 I 390 Comm111ee Acceptances I 35 340 25 290 I ~ I I i!': 1 5 f 1\ ~ "" ~ Appltconts ,' ' v ,/ 240 I 05 / ____,,r--"' ,... t90 / I ~ 140 .• ···········•••·····•····•• Enrollment 90 6~ ... -~~·····;;;;··· 70 72 74 76 78 Year of AdmiSSIOn Figure I Figure I depicts the activity of the Admissions Office from 1964 through the summer of 1978. The number of applicants increased significantly from 1964 through 1974, and since 1974 there has been a decrease in the volume of the applicant pool. The sharpest decrease was from 1976 to 1977, and this was related in large part to the institution of an application fee of $25.00. An application fee was necessitated at each of the four SUNY Schools of Medicine because the resources required to staff and equip this important function were no longer available from state funds. The institution of an application fee did not detract from the quality of the applicant pool. The Admissions THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Committee found that a greater proportion of the applicants reviewed and interviewed during 1977-78 represented individuals with a strong desire to study at SUNY /Buffalo. The number of committee acceptances to actual student placements has increased significantly during the past four years. This change reflects the competitiveness of the pool. The entering class in 1978 had a mean science grade average of 3.54. The mean MCA T Science and total MCAT scores for the entering classes from 1964 through 1977 are depicted in Figure II. The School of Medicine enrollment totals 570 students.

The total applicant pool was composed of 21 per cent women; the class composition is approximately one-third women and two-thirds men. All applications, regardless of program, are processed through the single Admissions Committee. Thus, this committee is responsible for selecting a core class each year of 135 students, the few students who can be accepted into advanced placement should vacancies occur in the second or third years, COTRA S students, Fifth Pathway students, and those students in the CU Y Biomedical Science Program who will do their clinical training at Buffalo and receive their Doctor of Medicine degree from SUNY /Buffalo. WI TER, 1978 The School of Medicine began accepting ew York students enrolled in foreign medical schools into the third year class in 1969. From 1969 to 1977 at least five students were accepted via COTRANS each year and the class size was expanded from 135 to 140. In order to comply with Federal Capitation guidelines for 1978 the class size was expanded to 141. These students must pass all parts of Part I of the National Board for Medical Examination (NBME) and are accepted on a competitive basis. The Doctor of Medicine degree is awarded upon satisfactory completion of the clinical work. The school accepts 21 students each year for a year's clinical training into The Fifth Pathway Program. These students have completed the requirements for the Doctor of Medicine degree at the time of acceptance into the program, but must perform a period of supervised clinical training in order to qualify for acceptance into an American Graduate Medical Education Program. Satisfactory completion of the program is accompanied by certification by the School of Medicine. The School of Medicine upon authorization by its Executive Committee in 1969 made a commitment to participate fully and to the best of its ability in providing educational opportunities for students of minority or disadvantaged status. Since the ince,ption of that commitment SUNY / Buffalo has been regarded as a leader in the field. Under the leadership and direction of Mr. Rudy Williams the school has received extramural support to provide the necessary prerequisites of a viable and meaningful educational experience. Despite a laudable record in this area the number of minority applicants decreased significantly in 1977 to 290. The 1978 entering class has 11 minority students. In 1978 the Faculty Council and the Executive Committee approved participation of the School of Medicine in the program conducted by the CUNY School of Biomedical Sciences. This program admits high school graduates from urban environments who will complete their education in a period of six to seven years. CUNY is not accredited for granting the professional degree. Schools of Medicine which accept CUNY students participate in their selection for the CUNY portion of the educational experience and those 3 d- �students then do their clinical work at the selecting medical school. The first six CU Y students will be processed through SUNY /Buffalo's program in 1980. High school principals in Buffalo and Erie County have been made aware of this program and are encouraged to have qualified students apply to CU Y for admission to this special and unique program. Admissions Policy Committee The Admissions Committee is the operational committee of the School of Medicine. Matters of policy are developed by the Admissions Policy Committee. Any major changes in policy are recommended by this committee to the Faculty Council for review and approval, and ultimately to the Executive Committee. Educational Programs OverviewThe curriculum offerings are structured so that a medical student can proceed through the School of Medicine either in a series of four 10-month yearly sequences or in an accelerated program designed to permit graduation after three complete years of academic work. This latter program is open to a limited number of students. The opportunity to combine the required educational experience with preparation for basic research and training is also available to a limited number of students; these students can earn both the Doctor of M.ed~cine a~d Doctor of Philosophy degrees Withm a penod of six years. . The Offic~ of Medical Education, working m concert With the faculty, received two extramural awards from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare for the funding of (1) a Summer Enrichment Program which is made available on an option to all students during the summer prior to their entrance into the First Year; (2) a ten-week pres cri p tio n-e nri chm en t pre-en trance program for those United States citizens (foreign medical students] who have made application through the Coordinated Transfer Application System (COTRANS] and have been admitted into the school's third year curriculum. 4 In general, the medical school curriculum is structured as two years of pre-clinical basic science training and two years of clinical training. The school introduces clinical experiences during the first year. The core didactic material is complemented with a series of elective experiences. The third year is comprised of a 12 week rotation in general surgery and the surgery specialties, 11 weeks of medicine, six weeks in pediatrics, gynecology-obstetrics and psychiatry, and one week in neurology. In addition, students obtain a limited third year experience in dermatology. With the exception of a mandatory four-week experience in Primary Ambulatory Care Medicine, the fourth year is an elective experience. Reviews of the student electives during the past three to four years indicate that each class elects to spend about half of its senior year in programs offered by the Department of Medicine, and that each elects the equivalent of a month's experience in pediatrics, surgery and radiology, about two weeks equivalent per student in neurology and dermatology and approximately a oneweek experience in the remaining disciplines. In excess of 90 per cent of the fourth year students do their fourth year in Western New York. · Self study in th e health sciences learning resources center. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Office of Medical Education The Office of Medical Education (OME) was established in 1975, bringing into being an idea formulated by the Special Curriculum Committee Report of 1967. The OME brings together all the functions of undergraduate medical education: academic, student affairs, advisement, records, financial aid, minority affairs and educational evaluation and research. Dr. Leonard Katz, Associate Dean for Student and Curricular Affairs, heads this office. Dr. John Richert, is Assistant Dean for Records, Student Affairs and Curriculum. Mr. Rudolph Williams, Assistant Dean for Financial Aid, is also actively involved in student affairs and minority student activities. The newest component of the office is the Educational Evaluation and Development Unit formed in 1976 with the recruitment of Dr. Frank Schimpfhauser. Dr. Schimpfhauser has been joined by Mr. Randy Sarnacki, a doctoral candidate in educational psychology and Ms. Klara Papp, also an educational psychology major. The Education Evaluation and Development Unit has as its major goal assisting individual faculty departments and various committees of the School in providing improved curriculum and instruction. In addition to heightening the faculty's awareness of the sensitivity toward the teaching-learning process through existant and newly implemented committee structures, the unit has made significant progress in upgrading the many educational programs and course offerings of the School. The unit has provided faculty and department expertise in designing and implementing evaluation procedures, planning and developing proposals which have secured extramural support for new and innovative curricular programs and has provided several members of the faculty instructional improvement opportunities in areas such as lecturing, student assessment, and curriculum materials development. For purposes of conducting educational and behavioral research, the unit has fully implemented a computer accessible student data base. The new student data base contains medical school performance data, entering student achievement characteristics, and over 200 non-cognitive variables now collected at specific points throughout the student's undergraduate and graduate WINTER, 1978 program. Questions related to curricular impact on medical student values, professional behaviors and career choice and practice location are among those currently being studied for purposes of curricular planning and longitudinal research. Integration of New Programs Dr. Leonard Katz, working with the Curriculum Committee of .the Faculty Council, has coordinated the development and implimentation of a number of new educational programs, each designed to reflect the school's awareness and responsiveness to needed change and to provide integration of necessary educational content without educational disruption. Education committees are appointed by the Dean to bring together faculty members and students interested in these areas. They include: Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Education Committee: Drs. Peter Gessner, Chairman; Marvin Block; Lucille Lewandowski; William Webster; Stephen Stayer; Marcia Russell; Cedric Smith; Michael oe; Robert Whitney; Frank Schimphauser; Students: John Bahouth, Sylvia Turner. Cancer Education Committee: Drs. Edward Henderson, Co-Chairman; John Wright, Co-Chairman; Nancy Stubbe; John Gaeta; Richard Johnson; ~ames Humbert; Myroslaw Hreshchyshyn; Richard Cooper; H.

Human Values and Medical Ethics Education Committee: Drs. Norman Solkoff, Co-Chairman; Robert Dickman, Co-Chairman; Robert O'Shea; Donald Becker; Peter Gessner; Leonard A. Katz; Norman Chassin; Henry Staub; Mila Aroskar ( ursing); Louis Swartz (Law); R.T. Hull (Philosophy); Father Jack Chandler; Rabbi Martin Goldberg; Rev. Charles Bachman; Students: M. Werick Paroski; John DeBerry; Archimedes Thomas; Mark Hagen. Geriatrics Committee: Drs. Evan Calkins, chairman; Harold Brody, J. Warren Perry, John Robinson, John Border, John Bozer, Ferdinand Paolini, John Hodson, S. Mouchly Small, Mr. Rudy Williams. Soon to be established will be a Nutrition Educational Committee. Each of these committees has approached its responsibility somewhat differently but there has been a great deal of creative activity generated. Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, for example, has been successful in stimulating an increase in the teaching of these problems within existing required courses. It has brought together some of the teaching activities in the second year into an "Alcoholism Week." A highly successful elective was developed to take students into clinical settings as well to introduce them to some of the various facets of the problem of alcoholism. Dr. Peter Gessner won a Career Teaching Award from NIAAA ( ational Institute of Alcoholism and Alcoholism Abuse) and has attracted financial support from the ew York State Division of Alcoholism, Department of Mental Hygiene. The Human Values and Medical Ethics group, led by Drs. Robert Dickman and Norman Solkoff, has developed a series of exciting offerings, many of which are given as noon time seminars. In addition, there has been a distinct increase in the amount of re6 quired course time devoted to these areas, both in the basic sciences and in the clinical courses. For the coming year, the following topics are being presented as part of the noon time seminar series: Fall Theme: Utilitarian and deontological patterns of decision-making in medicine. The seminar topics were: Informed Consent and the Right to Withdraw Consent to Treatment; The Right to Psychiatric Treatment; Involuntary Sterilization of the Retarded; Euthanasia and the Dying Patient; Issues in Abortion. Spring Theme: Conflicts between the Hippocratic/free enterprise and the civil service views of the profession. The spring seminar topics are: Justice and Health Care Delivery; Allocation of Scarce Medical Resources; Confidentiality of Psychiatric Information; Incompetent Practice; Nontherapeutic Medical Experimentation. Dr. Richard Hull, associate professor of philosophy, helped prepare a syllabus for the seminars and participated in some of the sessions. The Cancer Education Committee under the leadership of Drs. Edward Henderson and John Wright has been actively reviewing the content of courses related to cancer. There have been applications for support submitted to the National Cancer Institute to promote cancer education in Buffalo. Dr. Paul Kostyniak is acting chairman of the Environmental and Occupational Health Education Committee while Dr. Harry Sultz is on sabbatical leave. This committee is looking into expanding teaching resources and offerings to students. The Committee will bring a number of speakers to the campus to discuss this highly relevant subject. Two medical students, Mr. Terence Chorba and Ms. Geralyn Kahn received fellowship support to prepare materials for the committee. The Cost Effectiveness and Quality Assurance Education Committee is chaired by Dr. Paul Davis. This work is supported by a grant from the National Fund for Medical Education to assist its efforts to introduce these issues into the medical students' program. Dr. Ben Sanders, Chairman of the Multidisciplinary Graduate Group on Nutritional Sciences, has received local support from Tops Foods for a utritional THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Seminar series. This year an ambitious program is planned and includes the following topics: Pathophysiology of Intestinal Absorption; Current Clinical and Research Trends in Fat Soluble Vitamins; Relationship of Cancer and Cancer Therapy to utrition; Vitamin Facts and Fictions: Science Versus Anecdote. Adviser Program During the first semester each first year student is assigned an academic adviser from the basic science faculty. The purpose of the Adviser Program is to provide guidance to the student in the development of his/ her curriculum. This function includes advisement on elective courses, academic progress and other matters relating to the educational programs of the School of Medicine. The program functions in concert with other programs of the school and the University to provide personal services to the student, thereby helping to bridge the gap between college and medical school. Preceptor Program Concomitantly, each student is assigned a clinical preceptor. The Preceptor Program provides the student with an early introduction to the clinical setting and an opportunity for discussion of relevant issues in the practice of medicine. During the first year the preceptor and the assigned group of students are expected to meet on a regular basis in relation to patient contact in a clinical setting. It is anticipated that the preceptor will continue with each student until and beyond graduation from medical school. Dr. Robe rt Patterson is coordinating the program for 1978-79. He is assisted by Dr. Stephen Barron. Dr. Robe rt Patte rson with first year students at the preceptors' luncheon. Summer Fellowship Program Funds from a number of organizations national, local and private - are used to promote student research and training during the summer months between the first and second and second and third year. The particular work to be pursued by a student is determined by his/ her interest and specific arrangements are made with a faculty adviser. The selection of students is based on competition for the limited funds available and is done by the Summer Fellowship Committee, currently chaired by Dr. John Edwards. MECO Program Since 1976, members of the student body working through the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) and the American Medical Association have sought and obtained funds to provide summer preceptorship-employment opportunities for students. This program has been successful in obtaining support from several sources including the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education (APFMEJ, The Lamb Endowment Fund, and the Gebbe Foundation in Jamestown, New York. During 1978, 40 students participated and were placed in sites in Buffalo, Jamestown, Salamanca, as well as in other communities in Western New York. The student coordinators are Donald Switzer and Robert Shalwitz. Year Committees Year Committees were formed in 1977 to provide a forum for the regular review and discussion of curriculum improvements , academic policies and student performance standards. Each Year Committee is comprised of the course coordinators for that year and includes in its membership representation from the ranks of the preclinical and clinical faculty, volunteer faculty, and designated r epresentatives from the Dean 's staff. From the activity reports submitted to the Dean, it has become clear that significant teaching-learning issues have been addressed in the Committees' first year of operation and that a numb er of new policy recommendations have b een provided to the appropria te committees of the Faculty Council for furth er considera tion and action. The chairmen are: Drs . Alexander Brownie Thomas Flanagan, Philip Morey and Kamai Tourbaf. dWI TER, 1978 7 �Student Performance The program of each medical student is monitored by the departmental faculty responsible for a curricular offering, by the committees assigned to coordinate each year's program and the Executive Committee of the School of Medicine. Each year the evaluation program has been revised and upgraded to ensure the student a fair and objective appraisal of his/her effort and to ensure evolution of a strong faculty committed to sound pedagogical principles. Student feedback is encouraged and sought through course evaluation and by participation in committee work. While it is difficult to determine all the parameters of medical student performance the School of Medicine has used two as indices of relative performance. These are the results of participation in the National Boards and placements in graduate training, i.e., internships and residencies.

Although the School of Medicine does not place great emphasis on the BME in its educational mission there is little doubt that overall medical student performance on these exams provides one of the few external indices of how SUNY /Buffalo students perform in relation to students throughout the United States. Students who take the examination, even though done voluntarily, should be motivated to perform up to their abilities and capacities. Graduating Closs Figure ll I Figure V Percent of First and Second Choice Placement for Internships, 1967-1978 NBME The ational Board Examinations are not required, but approximately 95 per cent of SUNY /Buffalo's students take Parts I, II and III.

Advisement on graduate opportunities is provided largely by faculty members within the clinical departments of the school. Some departments, like the Department of Medicine, have developed an adviser program whereby students may work closely with a senior faculty member in choosing programs. The departmental efforts are supported by a team within the Office of Medical Education. Recently, this team has bee n expanded to include Dr. Thomas G. Cummiskey, clinical assistant professor of radiology, who provides support for applicants in pediatrics, gyn/ob and radiology; Dr. Joseph Caruana, assistant WINTER , 1978 professor of surgery, who aids students applying to surgery and the surgical specialties; Dr. Leonard Katz works with students seeking positions in medicine, family medicine, psychiatry and the remaining disciplines. Assistant Deans, Dr. John Richert and Mr. Rudy Williams, have ably assisted the effort in providing each student the opportunity to review their academic record and to gain a good sense of overall personal performance in Medical School. Dean's letters are prepared for each student and sent to each of the programs to which the student applies, leading to over 1300 letters per year. Ms. Mary Shapiro and her staff, including Ms. Doreen Miller and others, have provided the service with good spirit as reflected by the fact that both received plaques of appreciation from recent graduating classes. Financial Aid The School of Medicine's current financial aid policy provides for 100 per cent of a student's need to be satisfied. The budget reflects the total cost of attending this medical school at approximately $7,000 per year with tuition and fees accounting for $3,115 of the total aid provided. All financial aid administered by the University is in the form ew York State Higher of loans with the Education Services Corporation (NYHESC) Loan providing the foundation for the total aid program. Interest rates vary from a low of three per cent for University-sponsored programs to a level of seven per cent for NYHESC funds to a high of 10 and possibly 12 per cent on funds provided by the American Medical Association, Robert Wood Johnson and Health Education Assistance Loan Programs. Under the present economic climate student debt levels are rising rapidly commensurate with the cost of attending medical school. It is the philosophy of the School of Medicine that financial aid be awarded solely on the basis of financial need. Where resources are available parents are expected to assume the financial responsibility for the student's education. In all cases, parental income information is required regardless of dependency status. Several Emergency Loan Funds are functioning at maximum capacity and are providing valuable assistance in emergency 9 d-- �situations. These include the Clara March Fund, the Botsford Fund and the Medical Emergency Loan Fund established by faculty contribution in 1975-76. A long term loan fund has been established by a member of the community. The Dr. Pasquale Greco Loan Fund provides low interest loans to third and fourth year students from Western ew York. Student Honors are selected, on a national competitive basis, to participate in the Medical Assistance Program-Readers Digest International Fellowships (MAP-ROlF). After the student is awarded the grant he/she is obligated to spend a minimum of ten weeks at the place of assignment which is in a carefully planned and well supervised clinical setting in one of 82 developing countries. While working in these rather primitive settings, the student becomes familiar with the cultural, social and medical problems characteristic of the host country. Each year the student body selects a sophomore student to receive the CIBA Awa~d in r~cognition of outstanding commumty serv1ce in such activities as the F OURTH YEAR MEDICAL STUDE TS Dean Naughton and two honor students. organization and staffing of neighborhood health clinics or the development of, and participation in, efforts ranging from tutorial to disease screening programs. In October of each year, the School selects eight students from the junior and senior class for nomination to WHO'S WHO AMO G STUDE TS IN AMERICA UNIVERSITIES A D COLLEGES. The selection is based on scholarship ability, participation, leadership, academic and extracurricular activities, citizenship, service to the School and potential for future achievement. Alpha Omega Alpha The Buffalo Chapter of Alpha Omega Alpha, Epsilon chapter in ew York, was founded in 1924. Each year students are selected for scholastic excellence as well as "integrity, capacity for leadership, compassion and fairness in dealing with one's colleagues." Limited to a maximum of one-sixth of the graduating class, the new members are inducted in a solemn ceremony. The current officers of the chapter: President, Dr. Ronald Boersma; Vice President, Dr. Nancy Nielsen; Sec'y.-Treas., Dr. James Brennan; and Councillor, Dr. Wilmot Jacobsen. James A. Gibson Anatomical Society The James A. Gibson Anatomical Society was founded by the classes of 1919 and 1920 in honor of Dr. James A. Gibson, late Professor of Anatomy and Secretary of the Medical Faculty. Its object is to promote high scholarship and to stimulate interest in investigation among medical students of the University. The Society also sponsors an annual lecture by a prominent scientist. Thesis Honors Thesis Honors is awarded for a meritorious thesis based on an original contribution to medicine by a medical student working under the sponsorship of a faculty member. While this recognition usually implies original laboratory or clinical research, contributors to the ethical or historical aspects of medicine may also qualify. The possible field of subjects is wide, but emphasis is placed on evidence of creativity THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �and originality. All medical school students are encouraged to take a special study with the guidance of a faculty sponsor, which is then submitted to the Thesis Honors Committee. The Committee, composed of representation from the clinical and basic science faculty and administration, appoints a suitable review sub-committee to review the thesis. The student must defend the thesis and on the basis of attainment, the Committee recommends to the Dean the awarding of Thesis Honors to the student. Awards for Academic Excellence Members of the graduating class and their colleagues in the second and third years are recognized for outstanding achievement in the clinical sciences, basic sciences and service to the School and community at the School's commencement exercises. An Awards Committee composed of clinical and basic science faculty, administration, and students determines the recipients of many of the awards with the advice of appropriate departmental faculty; other awards are made directly by departments under whose aegis the award is provided. The individual awards are listed below. Senior Class THESIS HO ORS Baccelli Award Gilbert M.

WI TER, 1978 Student Government Organization I Polity is the sole student government in the medical school. It was formed in order to govern student affairs, to promote more efficient communication among students, faculty and administrative officers, and to facilitate student participation in the deliberative and policy-making processes of the school. Polity is composed of 20 voting members, five elected representatives from each of the first through fourth year medical school classes, and of an Executive Committee of a President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Elected class representatives also serve as co-equal class officers. Polity's activities are quite diversified. Polity is responsible for the allocation of the mandatory medical student fees. The requests for funding are many and varied, and Polity representatives must judge the merits of each request and allocate the money to the student body's best advantage. · Polity also acts as a liaison between students and the administration of both the medical school and the University at large. Student representatives and the medical school administrative staff meet several times a semester to discuss problems concerning such matters as curriculum, student representation on committees, parking, exam policies, health insurance, and financial aid. Many problems are solved immediately. Others are referred to the medical school's many active committees for resolution and action. Polity is also involved in trying to bring students closer together and making medical school fun. A school-wide activities budget line has financed such functions as the Annual Tennis Tournament, a skating party, and the very successful Med School Follies held each spring. Plans are already being made this year for a school-wide dance and Spring Sports Day. Polity is also responsible for coordinating student representatives to medical school committees. Student representation on these 11 �committees is constantly expanding and Polity is making a real effort to get feedback to the students. This year a new "Communications" budget line was opened to finance class newsletters. Polity, as the sole student government of the medical school, represents the will and opinion of the students. Polity spends much time debating issues in the medical school, and attempts to formulate a well reasoned opinion to be presented to the administration for consideration. Polity also deals with much of the day-today medical school business-running committee elections , dispensing information to students, dealing with drug and equipment salesmen , and setting up parties, etc. The Organization of Student Representatives The Organization of Student Representatives (OSR) was established in 1971 by the action of the Assembly of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Each medical school is allowed to select one representative from its student body as an institutional representative to the OSR. The OSR meets once a year at the AAMC Annual Meeting and on a regional basis with the Group on Student Affairs (GSA) each spring. At these meetings the representatives become informed of national medical education issues and have an opportunity to interact with other constituent members of the Association: In between the annual meetings, the busmess of the OSR is carried out by the Administrative Boards of the three AAMC Councils . The chairperson and chairpersonelect of the OSR are voting members of the Executive Council. Peter Shields, a member of the Fourth Year Class, is currently chairperson of the National OSR. Student National Medical Association The goals of the Student National Medical Association are: 1) increase the public awareness of the medical needs of the minority communities, 2) supplement the education of medical students who are particularly interested in the health care needs and problems of the minority communities, 3) provide programs for the recruitment and retention of minority medical students, 4) provide social outlets for its members to relieve the pressures and anxiety of medical school. The SNMA of Buffalo has pursued these goals with a wide array of programs and activities .· The SNMA sponsored Well Health Clinic is a facility in Buffalo where the medically indigent may receive physical examinations and primary screening for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and various anemias. This clinic is free of charge and staffed by students and residents under the supervision of voluntary physicians in their spare time. A monthly journal club and guest speakers provide supplementary education. Faculty members are honored with awards for teaching excellence in both basic sciences and clinical areas. The SNMA provides students to speak to elementary and high school classes. Pre-medical college students are actively encouraged to apply to medical schools. Picnics, parties and group outings constitute the social activities . American Medical Students Association The American Medical Students Association (AMSA) is an independent national organization of medical students dedicated to the improvement of health care, medical education and health care delivery. AMSA is not affiliated with the American Medical Association (AMA). There are over 130 local chapters throughout America. The New Physician and Infusion are the organization's official publications . Students at the SUNY /Buffalo School of Medicine founded the Medical Education and Community Orientation Project (MECO); Women in Medicine; and Humanistic Medicine which are particularly popular AMSA activities. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Graduate Medical Education coordinates and supervises a vast array of internship, residency, and fellowship programs. The clinical departments through the hospital system supervise the training of 475 to 500 interns, residents and fellows each year. Approximately one-third of the graduate trainees are alumni of the SUNY /Buffalo School of Medicine and the remainder are recruited from the other schools of the United States. While there are s~ill a fe·w· non-integrated University super~Ised trammg programs the vast majority are mtegrated by the responsible departmental faculty. ~radua.te trainees at all levels participate actiVely m the educational process of medical students. T HE SUNY/BUFFALO SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Continuing Medical Education SUNY / Buffalo has long been an acknov.:-ledged leader in Continuing Medical EducatiOn (CME). During the 1978 academic y~ar Dr. Martin Wingate was appointed Dire~tor and A~sistant Dean of Continuing Medical Education in addition to his duties in the Department of Gynecology/Obstetrics. He has appointed an Advisory Committee to develop the institution's program in CME. As the need for on-going physician education and recertification expands this educational unit w~ll concentrate on supporting and encouragmg the University departments to organize educational programs on a con~inuing basis to meet the needs of physicians m Western New York. CME will expand and refine its evaluation capabilities in accordance with the accreditations provided by the Liaison Committee on Continuing Medical Education (LCCME). WINTER, 1978 Graduate Student Education T he educational quality of Master's a d D~ctor of. Philosophy students in the Hea~h Sciences IS coordinated through the Office of th~ Dean for Graduate Studies. Each basic science depar.tment offers strong graduate student expenences which are designed to prepare outstanding scientists and teachers. Some of SUNY /Buffalo's programs are included among the leaders in their fields throughout the United States. These programs are reviewed for content and quality by outside consultants every five years. Organization, Governance L ike all schools of medicine in the United States the SUNY /Buffalo institution is a complex structure whose functional organization does not fit readily a rigid or stagnant organizational chart. The SUNY /Buffalo School of Medicine administratively resides in the Faculty of Health Sciences of SUNY /Buffalo together with its sister schools of Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy; and Health Related Professions. The Dean reports to the President of the University through the Vice President for Health Sciences. Internally, the school is structured with a core administrative staff responsible for faculty affairs and promotions, budget and facilities, curricular development and implementation, student affairs, educational evaluation, financial assistance, university affairs, admissions, hospital and clerical affairs, and continuing medical education. These functions are performed and executed, for the most part, in the administrative and executive offices located in Farber Hall on the Main Street Campus. The actual operational implementation of undergraduate medical education, graduate student education, and of graduate medical education is carried out through the departmental structure. Each department chairman has major responsibility for development and implementation of the specific curricular offerings assigned to the department and for coordinating and deploy13 d- �ing the available resources used in the conduct of the particular program. The school's educational, research and patient care programs are administered through 25 departments and their sub-units located throughout the City of Buffalo and Erie County. Governance The School of Medicine is governed by a dual governance with an Executive Committee and a Faculty Council. Executive Committee The Executive Committee is chaired by the Dean. Its membership includes the chairperson of each department, President of the Faculty Council and nine elected representatives of the Faculty Council. The Vice President for Health Sciences or his designee serves as an ad hoc member of the committee. The Executive Committee is charged with the ultimate responsibility for decisions related to faculty and student affairs. It meets at regular monthly intervals, and can be called into special session if and when warranted. Faculty Council This governing body was constituted in its present form in 1971. Its function is to encourage and assure participation by the faculty in initiation, development and implementation of the educational programs of the School of Medicine with respect to policies and procedures governing the curriculum of the school, students, admissions, academic programs, awarding of degrees, faculty appointments, promotions and tenure, grievance procedures, and organizational structure of the School of Medicine. The Faculty Council's activities are coordinated and directed by an elected President. Its business is conducted through a Steering Committee composed of the elected officers, eight standing committees, and a monthly · business meeting of the total Council. Actions of the Faculty Council which imply policy change within the school are referred to the Executive Committee for further review and acceptance or rejection. 14 The standing committees of the Faculty Council are: 1. Curriculum; 2. Admissions Policy; 3. Appointments, Promotions and Tenure; 4. Elections & By-Laws; 5. Affiliated Institutions; 6. Facilities Planning and Budget; 7. Student Affairs and Academic Standing; and 8. Economic Status. The Faculty Council is involved at multiple levels with the functions of the school. Through its various committees the Faculty Council has initiated, developed, and suggested many of the policies currently governing the day-to-day operations of the medical school. Presently the admissions policies of the school, the curricular policies, the guide lines for Faculty promotions and tenure as well as the procedures for student grievances and promotions have been discussed, debated, and approved by past and present councils. Policies and guidelines that affect student and faculty alike are continuously being revised and updated through this mechanism. The faculty through this governing body has had a continuing and influential role in policy matters affecting the school. Pre-Clinical Council This ad hoc body is membered by the Basic Science Department chairpersons and meets at periodic intervals to advise the Dean in matters related to basic science education. It is chaired by a chairperson selected from within the group. Clinical Council This ad hoc body of Clinical Department chairpersons meets at monthly intervals with the Dean to advise that office on matters related to clinical affairs and graduate Many memorial plaques are in the main lobby of Farber Hall. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �medical education. It is chaired by an individual selected from the membership of the group. Administrative Committee The academic work of the Dean's office is conducted through the appointment of committees. Appropriate work is delegated either through the Executive Committee or the President of the Faculty Council for assignment to standing committees. Despite these mechanisms, at least 22 other committees are required to conduct the ongoing affairs of the School of Medicine. Associated Organizations works with many health related organizations to facilitate its educational and research programs and to help the quality of their services. There are several autonomous organizations with which the school enjoys an ongoing relationship. Among these are the Alumni Association of the School of Medicine, the University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc., the Research Foundation, and the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education (APFME). T HE SCHOOL OF MEDICI E Alumni Association The school's alumni association is among the most active and vigorous in the United States. Its President relates directly to the Dean's Office in matters of mutual concern and its administrative offices are located on the Main Street Campus. The Dean or his designee meets with the Alumni Board at its monthly meetings. The association participates actively in a number of important fund raising functions each year, including the Century Fund and the Class Reunion Gift Programs. The annual Spring Clinical Days (medical school homecoming) is always well attended. A nationally prominent speaker is invited to give the Stockton Kimball Memorial Lecture. Another feature of the two-day conference is the 50-year class reunion dinner and several other five-year class reunions. "What's Right With Medicine" is the theme of the 42nd annual Spring Clinical Days, May 11 and 12, 1979. On February 13, 1979 the association WI TER, 1978 will co-sponsor a medical/dental symposiumexcursion to Tahiti. Every year the association sponsors a senior class reception; awards preceptorships to medical students; contributes to the Medical School Yearbook and Register. University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc. This organization is the private fund raising arm of the University. Its officers and staff work closely with the President of the Alumni Association and the Dean in coordinating fund raising activities such as the annual Phonothon Century Drive Campaign and Class Reunion Gift Programs. In addition, the Foundation solicits private donors and administers some of the endowment funds of the School of Medicine, most notably the Gordon Heyd and the Clara March endowments. Research Foundation of the State University of New York This organization administers the research grants received by many of the faculty of SU Y/Buffalo. In some instances, some federally granted programs are administered directly by the hospital system. Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education In 1953 a group of physicians, alumni of the School of Medicine, having in common a loyalty to the school and a concern for its many pressing problems, began a series of intense discussions which resulted in the for15 �·I mation of an organization that became the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education (APFME). The primary objectives of the Fund in its formative period were to provide supplementary financial support for the grossly inadequately funded basic science departments (recently moved into new facilities in Capen Hall) and to improve the relationships of the faculty and administration of the school with the area physicians and the community at large. The School of Medicine in common with many private schools of the time was experiencing increasing difficulty in providing the essential resources to maintain educational, research and service programs of high quality, and the slowly increasing numbers of the full time clinical faculty were sharing in the widely experienced problems of many schools. The initial members included Drs.: Edgar C. Beck, Grant Fisher, Henry Kenwall, Stockton Kimball, Harry LaForge, and Marvin Bloom. They were soon joined by Drs. John L. Donahue, Kenneth H. Eckhert, Donald W. Hall, Thurber LeWin, Leo M. Michalek, John J. O'Brien, Kevin M. O'Gorman, Harold K. Palanker, Victor L. Pellicano, Bertram A. Partin and William J. Staubitz. Within a short period the Fund developed a large group of devoted physician members who formed the nucleus of the active fund raising organization, soliciting annual pledges from all physicians of the region (alumni and non-alumni) and from other graduates wherever they might be geographically located. In the March 12, 1955 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, a highly complimentary report on the background and activities of the APFME appeared, and in 1957 the officers and executive committee of the Fund received an honorable mention from the distinguished Lane Bryant Awards Committee for their volunteer efforts in service to the community and the family of man. The 1956 report of the reaccreditation survey by The Liaison Committee on Medical Education specifically identified the importance of the Fund as a factor in achieving many improvements over the conditions existing at the 1945 survey. With the advent of the merger of the University of Buffalo with the State University of ew York in September 1962 the need for the Fund to continue its salary support 16 terminated. The Fund, however, recognizing along with the University the continuing requirement for flexible funds for the support of activities not directly appropriate for state tax support, or for those situations which required quick decisions incompatible with the bureaucratic process, began in consultation with the school to develop alternative programs. Since 1962, for periods of varying duration the Fund has supported student scholarships directed to strengthening selective and competitive recruitment of outstanding student candidates, summer clinical practice fellowships, a medical newsletter and some of the expenses associated with the annual alumni Spring Clinical Days. For a period it contributed to the publication costs of the Buffalo Medical Journal, the predecessor of the currently published The Buffalo Physician. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Special Programs Buswell Fellowship T he funds for the Buswell Fellowship program are provided by the Ralph Hochstetter bequest to the School of Medicine in Buffalo. The bequest was given in the name of Bertha and Henry Buswell, his sister and brother-in-law. Henry Buswell was a physician in Buffalo. The funds are to be used for the purpose of the support of Doctors of Medicine who have completed the necessary preliminary training to enable them to engage in research in their chosen field. The funds are administered by the Dean of the School of Medicine who appoints a Buswell Committee composed of representatives from the Basic Science and Clinical Faculty of the Medical School to advise on the selection of Fellows. The committee receives applications from faculty sponsors on behalf of each Buswell applicant. The sponsor and the department chairman describe the role of the applicant in the ongoing research program as well as his/her participation in the department programs. The committee ranks applications numerically on the basis of scientific merit. The quality of the Buswell Fellowships awarded has become comparable to that of an IH Research Fellow. Reading X-rays is an important part of the clinical experience. Buswell funds are used to attract Fellows of excellent quality who will be likely to remain in this Medical School or to be d- WINTER, 1978 17 �recommended to another as Academic Faculty. This is a particularly valuable mechanism with which to strengthen faculty especially, when extramural research funds are diminishing. The committee also selects Fellows who are outstanding, mature, research scientists who come to Buffalo to collaborate with a particular research program of our faculty, but will subsequently return to their permanent appointments elsewhere. An Annual Buswell Research Day has provided a forum at which Fellows present the current developments in their research programs which were achieved during the tenure of their Buswell Fellowship. An afternoon scientific program attended by the faculty is followed by a reception. Buswell Alumni speak at a dinner meeting after the reception. In 1978, Dr. Robert Klocke discussed the continuation of his pulmonary research at the Buswell Day Dinner meeting. When Dr. Klocke was a Buswell Fellow he began the studies that culminated in his current research program. A fourth year student, John Canty, was invited to present his work this year for the first time. Biomedical Research Support Grant (BRSG) This program is made available through funds provided by the federal government. The amount of medical funding is based on the level of participation by the faculty of the School of Medicine in the nation's biomedical research mission. The funds are used to help newly recruited faculty initiate their research efforts in the interim between beginning their duties at SU Y/Buffalo and the time at which they can compete favorably for extramural research support. The funds are also used to equip unique or especially promising research programs. Like the Buswell Fellowship Program faculty compete for funding support by submitting a grant proposal. A faculty committee reviews the application and awards them on the basis of merit for funding. As the available pool of federal research has become more and more fixed the number of faculty seeking BRSG support has increased. Unfortunately, the requests each year far exceed the funding capacity provided by this program. 18 Harrington Lectureship Dr. Devillo White Harrington (1844-1905), a member of the clinical faculty of the U/ B School of Medicine, was professor of genitourinary and venereal diseases from 1886 to 1905. In 1896, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his graduation from the School of Medicine (1871), he made the initial gift to establish the endowed lecture fund which bears his name. The fund was supplemented by a bequest on his death in 1905. The terms of the gift specify that "these lectures are to be given by men chosen by the medical faculty in such subjects as shall interest not only the advanced students in the university, but the medical profession generally." Since 1967, under the authority of a continuing resolution of the Executive Committee of the School of Medicine, a committee composed of students, faculty and administrators select Harrington Lecturers to speak on subjects of particular interest to students. Faculty Awards For Excellence In Academic Pursuit, Service And Teaching I n 1963 Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, then Dean of the School of Medicine, initiated two awards to recognize unusual faculty contributions to the school. One, named the Stockton Kimball Award in honor of the former faculty member and dean, acknowledged outstanding contributions in the areas of research, teaching and service. The other, the Dean's Award, reflected the unusual and important qualities of great value to the school not recognized by other existing awards. The recipients since the founding of the awards are: The Stockton Kimball Award 1963 Dr. John D. Stewart Dr. Ernest Witebsky THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �The Teaching Hospitals conducts its clinical education in nine teaching hospitals located throughout the City of Buffalo and Erie County. Each provides varied relationships with the school and together they supply the faculty and students with an extraordinary amount of teaching material and resources in which to conduct programs in primary, secondary and tertiary patient care. Hospitals in which clinical education research and care activity related to th~ school's mission are: The Buffalo General Hospital, Children's Hospital of Buffalo, Deaconess Hospital, Erie County Medical Center, Mercy Hospital, Millard Fillmore Hospital, Roswell Park Memorial Institute, Sisters of Charity Hospital, and the Buffalo Veterans Administration Medical Center. Together these hospitals provide the resources and facilities to maintain a graduate medical education program which approaches a total of 500 interns, residents and fellows and they provide educational experiences for 270 to 300 third and fourth year medical students. In addition, most of the full time clinical faculty are located in these institutions. The major teaching hospitals coordinate the education, patient care missions either through Hospital-University Education Committees or in the case of the Veterans Administration Medical Center through the mechanism of a Vice President's Committee.

Recently, the Board of Trustees reaffirmed, as part of the missions and goals of the hospital, the conduct of appropriate educational and research activities and have developed Principles of Affiliation between The Buffalo General Hospital and the SUNY/Buffalo Faculty of Health Sciences. These principles will be the basis of updating the hospital's current affiliation agreement to reflect current programs in the medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy and health related professions. The hospital contains 749 licensed adult beds, all of which are considered suitable for 19 d- �teaching. The hospital admitted in excess of 20,000 patients and provided 225,000 patient days of service in 1977. In addition, the ·I Emergency and Ambulatory Care Clines recorded 75,000 visits. All physicians on the active staff of the hospital hold faculty positions at the University, and the great majority are involved in the hospital's teaching programs. About 200 medical students participate in the educational activities in the hospital during the year. Buffalo General maintains a House Staff of about 125. In all, nearly 200 residents and interns receive a portion of their training here each year. The services include all major medical and surgical sub-specialties except pediatrics and obstetrics, which are provided by affiliation with the Children's Hospital of Buffalo. Clinical departments-many with fulltime heads, and all with teaching programs-include ambulatory services , anesthesiology, dentistry, dermatology, family practice, medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, nuclear medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, otolaryngology, pathology, pediatrics, psychiatry, radiology, radiation therapy , rehabilitation medicine, surgery and urology. Training is also conducted in such areas as allergy, angiology, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hypertension, infectious disease, liver disease, medical genetics, nephrology, and open heart surgery. Students will find active clinical programs in these areas, supported by fully-equipped laboratories. Research training is provided in modern laboratories located in three research buildings, and continuing education is also available in a full complement of wellequipped diagnostic laboratories. Units for acute care include a Coronary Care Unit, Intensive Care Unit, Cardiorespiratory Unit, and a Special ICU for physiologic monitoring of selected, criticallyill patients where modern computer technology is being applied to patient care. There is a well-equipped medical library with approximately 4500 current monographs and texts, about 145 current subscriptions to journals, and a complete audiovisual learning center. 20 Children's Hospital of Buffalo Since its founding in 1892, the Children's Hospital of Buffalo has been devoted to providing the ultimate in pediatric and maternal health care. As a regional referral center and the only pediatric hospital in the country with a maternity unit, the hospital is equipped to provide unique patient care. The hospital has 199 pediatric beds, 67 beds for obstetrical/gynecological patients, 18 beds in the Intensive Care Unit, and 29 beds in the Intensive Care ursery. In 1977, 21 ,000 patients were admitted to Children's, including more than 12,000 in pediatric service and more than 6,000 in obstetrical/gynecological service; more than 1 ,200 general surgical procedures were performed, and there were 2,565 babies born at Children's. In addition, more than 113,000 outpatient visits were recorded. Five hundred and sixty physicians serve on the medical staff. Members of the medical staff also hold positions on the faculty of the University, thus maintaining a dual responsibility of academic activity and hospital and community service. As a tertiary care facility, Children's offers a wide range of advanced care. The Regional Intensive Care ursery serves as the major center for the care of sick and premature newborns in Western New York. ewborns from across the seven-county area are brought to the ursery, often, in a special high-risk infant transport unit which is staffed by a team of respiratory therapists and infant intensive care nurses. The Nursery, under the supervision of Dr. Edmund Egan, has four neonatologists. The Children's Lung Center, established in 1976, is one of the few such pediatric centers in the Northeast. Here, children with pulmonary diseases are evaluated and therapy is recommended. Expanded computerization is allowing the Center to increase the number of patients it serves. As a perinatal center, the hospital provides specialized care to high-risk mothers. This superior level of care is made possible through utilization of the many general and specialized facilities available within the hospital and through the combined skills of physicians , nurses and technicians. The Rehabilitation Center, located on Delaware Avenue, is also an important part THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �' I of Children's Hospital. In 1977, 13,956 visits were recorded, and another 14,641 outpatient visits were registered in the Center's Speech and Hearing Clinic. Diagnostic evaluation performed at the Center deals with such diseases and disorders as cerebral palsy, pediatric amputeeism, birth defects and neuromuscular problems. The Department of Cardiology and the Division of Cardiovascular Surgery at Children's Hospital is world renowned. Children from across the United States and five foreign countries were treated here in 1977 for heart diseases or defects, and members of the cardiology and cardiovascular surgery teams frequently travel to other hospitals to share their experience and knowledge with students and colleagues. Other areas in which the medical staff has particular expertise include allergy, genetics, virology, neurology, radiology, pedodontics, gastroenterology, and child psychiatry/behavioral sciences. The Children's Hospital serves as a center for instruction and research in problems relating to the care and maintenance of maternal and child health, and maintains a working relationship with the School of Medicine. The School's Department of Pediatrics, Pedodontics, and Obstetrics/Gynecology are physically located within the hospital, as well as offices for such specialties as Pediatric Surgery, Pediatric eurosurgery and Cardiovascular Surgery. In May 1977 the Hospital and the University entered into a formal affiliation agreement which recognized the common purposes and objectives of the two organizations. It was agreed that each institution was organized for the goals of furnishing essential and related community services which could be developed more completely and efficiently through joint cooperation. The agreement also called for the provision of equipment, laboratories, seminar rooms and related facilities by the Hospital for use in affiliated programs. Second year students at the University study physical diagnosis at Children's Hospital, while third year students undertake studies in clinical pediatrics. In this area, students work directly with patients and assume responsibility for follow-up work. During their fourth year, medical students are offered elective studies. It is during this WINTER, 1978 time that they may concentrate in subspecialty areas such as neurology, gastroenterology or ambulatory pediatrics. Students who are interested in surgery may also study pediatric procedures under Dr. Theodore Jewett or Dr. James Allen. Interns and rotating students spend as long as one month or as little as two weeks in the Department of Pediatric Surgery learning necessary techniques. As teaching institutions, Children's Hospital and the University provide an atmosphere in which theory and practical experience overlap, and medical education is an ongoing opportunity. Numerous programs are co-sponsored not only for students, but for non-students as well. Continuing Medical Education programs provide up-to-date information to all physicians who wish to stay abreast of rapidly changing technology, and seminars and clinical conferences are held so that specialists may share their knowledge dA clinical experience. �and expertise with their colleagues. Special lectures and postgraduate programs are also scheduled. The Department of Pediatrics, under the direction of Dr. Elliot F. Ellis, is particularly active in coordinating ongoing training programs for physicians throughout Western New York. Research facilities in the hospital allow University personnel to conduct studies in many pediatric areas such as virology, cardiology, bacteriology, neonatology and pedodontics. This research has led to advances in the detection, treatment and/or prevention of childhood disorders. Deaconess Hospital Established in 1895 by a group of German "Deaconessess" as a home for the aged, Deaconess Hospital has grown to a 428-bed, 44-bassinet non-profit general hospital serving a wide spectrum of patients from Western New York. Specialized units and services include a 20-bed ICU-CCU, a hemodialysis unit, premature nursery, in-out surgery unit, orthopedic center, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine departments, the Wettlaufer Eye Clinic, Family Planning Project and the only university-affiliated Family Practice Residency Program in Western New York. Services rendered in 1977 include 13,323 in-patient admissions, accounting for 128,916 patient days of care; 70,433 out-patient visits, and 32,767 emergency room visits. In response to state legislation requiring family practice residencies at all State University medical schools, Deaconess Hospital and SUNY /Buffalo School of Medicine introduced a jointly sponsored Family Practice Program in 1969. The hospital's Family Practice Center opened its doors at 840 Humboldt Parkway, Buffalo, that same year, one of just 45 such centers in the entire country. More than 200 medical students participate annually in ophthalmology, surgery, cardiology, radiology, gyn/ob, family practice, medicine and anesthesiology. The students are assigned a preceptor their first year of training here. This physician/advisor, who is a faculty member at the School of Medicine and a practitioner at Deaconess, guides the student throughout his/her four years of medical school. 22 The hospital's departments of Medicine and Family Practice participate in the physical diagnosis training for second year students. Also in the second year, the Department of Surgery offers "Introduction to Clinical Surgery" as an elective course. Third year medical students receive routine assignments in surgery and gyn/ob departments while fourth year students rotate among seven departments. Every year the hospital employs third and fourth year students as externs. This year 36 students will serve as externs. There are 74 residents and fellows in family practice, medicine, urology, radiology, otolaryngology, surgery and gyn/ob. Deaconess Hospital conducts university grand rounds in obstetrics and gynecology (city-wide), and surgery, on a rotating basis with other university-affiliated hospitals. Family Practice grand rounds, held weekly at Deaconess Hospital, are sponsored by the Department of Family Medicine and involve faculty from all university departments. The hospital also offers several residencies and training programs not affiliated with SUNY /Buffalo School of Medicine, including ophthalmology and pathology. The hospital's Department of Anesthesiology offers elective experience for residents of other specialties, as well as a course for extern students. Deaconess Hospital and The Buffalo General Hospital are presently in the process of merging their facilities, staffs and resources. Formal approval of the merger is expected by January 1979. Erie County Medical Center The relationship between the new Erie County Medical Center and the University of Buffalo School of Medicine is a unique one. The Center, opened in July, 1978, replaced the old E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. With the support of the County of Erie and because of the diversity of its patient population, the "Meyer" has long been a focus for the training of health care professionals.

MARGARET BERRIC K MEYER PROVIDED 1 HE \ ATOMY LABORATORIES OF THIS BUILDING ..____.__.. __ > :t T The Hospital provides clinical facilities for all of the Health Sciences schools and accounts for 42 per cent of the clinical activity for these schools. Providing the new Center with an optimum educational environment are 70 conference rooms, an amphitheater which seats 180, a library equipped with 13 study carrels and a complete self-study syllabus for third and fourth year medical students as well as professional office space. Clinical Services are enhanced by an active program of research located in five onestory wings built by the County of Erie on the hospital campus and leased to the University. Patient care, teaching and research are integrated throughout the new Medical Center. All Center physicians and dentists hold faculty positions at the University of Buffalo School of Medicine or Dentistry. About 110 faculty are full time; most funded bilaterally by County and University. This mutually beneficial relationship also serves the best interests of the Western New York community, since it attracts large numbers of skilled health professionals to the area, and ensures a high standard of care to its citizens. The Erie County Laboratory which is located in the Center is heavily service oriented. It provides all laboratory services for the Center and also serves as a reference facility for state and public health laboratories and is a major national training site for clinical biochemists and clinical microbiologists. Among others who receive training here are medical/laboratory technologists and a wide range of clinical inWINTER, 1978 vestigators. Senior staff also have research projects under way. A complete general hospital, the Center is owned and operated by the Couty of Erie to serve all of its residents. Its patient population is accounted for by the usual range of services that are offered for the care of inpatient adults and children, as well as: extensive outpatient Medical/Dental clinics; emergency psychiatry services round-theclock; a comprehensive physical rehabilitation center; a hemophilia center operated and funded by the Hemophilia Foundation of Western New York; an inpatient and outpatient alcoholism service; chronic renal disease and transplantation center; treatment of tuberculosis and chest disease; drug detoxification; medical/rehabilitation care for children attending School 84 adjacent to the Center; and a high security area of 20 beds for inmates of the Erie County Holding Center and area County/State correctional institutions in need of medical treatment. The advanced design and technology of the Center not only makes it a modern teaching hospital, but provides a new patient care atmosphere. There is: a unit dose pharmacy system for safety and efficiency; total separation of soiled and "clean" systems; more patient-nurse contact; more privacy for patients; a new dietary system; and more convenient work space for physicians and nurses. Patient care systems are supple'mented by complex mechanical and electronic devices. A monorail network delivers supplies throughout the 12-story tower and returns used materials to the ground level supply department. A computer monitors systems critical to hospital operation and patient care, while a pneumatic tube system whisks records, laboratory specimens, between hospital departments. An administrative control center on each floor of 80 patients serves as the heart of the patient communications system, relieving nurses of much pap~rwork. The new Medical Center requued 10 years of planning and seven years to build. With experience gained over the more than half a century as the old "Meyer" in meeting changing demands for service, teaching and research, plus one of the most modern and sophisticated facilities in the nation, the hospital looks to the future with optimism and confidence. 23 d- r I I I �Mercy Hospital Mercy Hospital, owned and operated by the Sister of Mercy, is a 413 bed, community teaching hospital, serving the Southtowns area. It employs the "Friesen" architectural and health care delivery concept, which has also been adopted by the new Erie County Medical Center. When the present construction is completed in October, 1980, all patient care will be rendered in a facility which is less than 11 years old. The ground level of this building consists of clinics and support service divisions which include the Emergency Room. Differing from other hospitals, the large Coronary Care Unit is also on the ground level for easier access from the Emergency Room and these services. The clinic areas on the ground level also include private physicians' offices in pediatrics, orthopedics, Ob/Gyn, endocrinology, pulmonary disease and cardiology. This permits house staff participation in a private practice setting. The hospital also has a 30 bed unit devoted to rehabilitation. Mercy Hospital has been actively involved in Medical Education since 1950 when it sponsored an affiliation with the Georgetown University Medical School, which continued until 1969. At present, Mercy is participating with the SUNY/Buffalo residency programs in medicine, obstetricsgynecology and nuclear medicine. There is active rotation of these residents between Mercy Hospital and the teaching Hospital System . In addition, four University orthopedic residents rotate through the Mercy Orthopedic Service each year. Mercy Hospital also has approved free-standing residencies in plastic surgery and pediatrics.

Mercy Hospital also owns and operates Trocaire Junior College. The hospital is a resource training center for the associate degree nursing students, the operating room technician and X-ray technician students from Trocaire College; graduate nursing students from SUNY/Buffalo and D'Youville College; and for laboratory technology students from Daemen College. The hospital also offers clinical experience for West Seneca Adult Education BOCES Practical Nursing Program and medical record administration students from Alfred University. The Mercy Emergency Room personnel is active in the Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians Training Program (Paramedics) . This involves the life support system of the Mercy (LaSalle) ambulances in the prehospital management of acute coronary and severe trauma victims. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �CHARLES GORDON HEYD 1885 -1970 M.D. UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO 1909 DISTINGUISHED ALUMNUS AND BENEFACTOR OF THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Millard Fillmore The Millard Fillmore Hospital system is a voluntary, non-profit group of two general hospitals. It is an affiliated teaching hospital of the SUNY /Buffalo School of Medicine. The hospital at Gates Circle has 560 beds. Included are a 10 bed Intensive Care Unit and a four bed open heart Intensive Care Unit, a six bed Respiratory Care Unit, two Coronary Care Units totaling 28 beds and a 16 bed Intermediate Coronary Care Unit, and a 12 bed Intermediate Care Unit for medical and surgical patients. Special features include the Harry M. Dent Neurologic Institute with two CT brain scanners, the only civilian hyperbaric chamber in Upstate New York, the only computerized pulmonary function laboratory with five outside terminals, and a new comprehensive laboratory with the only hospital-based sequential multiple analyzer with computer in Western New York. As a teaching hospital students at the Medical School participate in the hospital as follows: First year students take elective courses at the hospital; second year students are taught physical diagnosis; junior clerkships are offered in medicine, neurology, obstetrics/gynecology and surgery (Fifth Pathway); senior elective courses are offered in anesthesiology, radiology, pathology and urology as well as the above departments; also in the medical sub-specialty areas of cardiology, respiratory disease, nephrology, gastroenterology and hematology; and in surgical sub-specialty areas of orthopedics, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, E. .T., cardio-vascular and thoracic surgery. The hospital offers approved programs of post-graduate training in medicine, surgery, neurology, urology, anesthesiology and pathology. The departments of Obstetrics/Gynecology and Radiology participate in the School-sponsored city-wide residencies in their respective fields. WI TER, 1978 The new Suburban Hospital is located in Amherst just two miles from the new university campus. This 151-bed (expandable to 700 beds) general hospital was opened in August 1974. The hospitals combined admit over 25,000 patients a year, including almost 3,000 newborns, record almost 50,000 emergency department visits per year and almost 20,000 outpatient visits a year. Roswell Park Memorial Institute Roswell Park Memorial Institute is the New York State Department of Health's cancer research, treatment and education center. The dedication of the Institute to "investigate the cause, nature, mortality rate, treatment, prevention and cure of cancer and allied diseases" provides the Buffalo community with a unique resource for instruction related to scientific methodology, preclinical research,and the clinical care of cancer. The establishment of educational activities as an integral component of the Roswell Park program has been recognized through federal designation of the Institute as a comprehensive cancer center. Formal education at Roswell Park began in the early 1940's with the inauguration of residency programs. Today there are 80 residents and clinical fellows training in 17 clinical areas. These clinical programs also are set now in the context of a multi-faceted curricula including postgraduate, graduate, and undergraduate offerings as. well as programs in allied health and p~bhc education. The more formal academiC programs are conducted by senior staff personnel who also hold professional appointments at SUNY/Buffalo, Niagara University, Canisius College, D'Youville College, Daemen College, Erie Community College and other academic institutions. Over 100 members hold appointments to external academic faculties. 25 d- �The educational collaboration between the School of Medicine and Roswell Park Memorial Institute includes (1) curriculum offerings for second and fourth year students, (2) affiliated residencies, and (3) clinical fellowship opportunities. These programs are strong in terms of patient load, contact with senior staff, access to Ph.D. faculty, and an opportunity to observe the vertical integration of comprehensive cancer care in a multidisciplinary team focused upon a particular disease site. Roswell Park faculty are responsible for offerings in the School of Medicine curriculum in the following academic programs: anesthesiology, biochemistry, biophysics, gynecology, medicine, microbiology, pathology, pediatrics, pharmacology, radiology, and surgery. Senior medical school electives provided at Roswell Park include clerkships in: radiation therapy, outpatient, surgical pathology, head and neck surgery, Medicine A, B, and C, general surgery, breast surgery, gynecology, nuclear medicine, urology, and rehabilitation medicine. Also electives in biological research: clinical pharmacology, biological research: cell culture, cell biology, pathophysiology, endocrinologic and metabolic problems. These electives provide medical students with a special exposure to management of cancer patients and clinical investigative research. Resident physician training programs are conducted in 12 clinical areas. These programs are approved either independently or in conjunction with the School of Medicine and other area institutions. Clinical fellowship opportunities are offered in five additional areas: ·.

Participants in clinical training programs on the Roswell Park campus also benefit from close interaction with Roswell Park Graduate Division of SUNY/ Buffalo and its ten academic departments in the life sciences. These resources provide opportunity for interdisciplinary training and incorporation of relevant aspects of preclinical studies. The national trend toward continuing medical education has been addressed at Roswell Park in collaboration with the SUNY/Buffalo Office of Continuing Education. Since 1975 the Institute has offered a four-track program [i.e. extensive course, specialty seminars, visiting clinicians, and interdisciplinary conferences) on its campus. These programs, through the joint sponsorship of the Office of Continuing Education, achieved American Medical Association approval for Category I credit. Sisters of Charity Hospital In the early years, Sisters of Charity Hospital was U/ B's main teaching hospital. Some of the hospital's physicians have been Deans at the Medical School. Dr. Austin Flint was the most notable. Recently there have been new affiliation agreements developed between the hospital and the medical school. Two full time faculty members, Dr. John Lore, chief of otolaryngology and head/ neck surgery, and Dr. John Edwards, chief of medicine, are based at Sisters. These two physicians and others serve on medical school committees. All attending pathologists at Sisters Hospital hold clinical appointments and are active in weekly classroom instructions of medical, dental and graduate students in the Department of Pathology at the medical school. Dr. John Sheffer is responsible for design and coordination of the Pathology Laboratory Course. Dr. Paul Milley conducts a course on Head and Neck Pathology for third and fourth year medical students on Dr. Lore's elective otolaryngology program. The Hospital pathology department participates in the program for elective assignment in pathology for third and fourth year medical students. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Residents in the Medical School Otolaryngology and Head and eck Surgery Program receive part of their training at Sisters Hospital and plans are being considered to extend this aspect of the Medical School/Sisters Hospital relationship to the residency program in Internal Medicine. Full time faculty participate as Grand Rounds speakers in the hospital's CME program and as conference speakers in the hospital's Internal Medicine residency program. Sisters Hospital medical residents do subspecialty electives at the University's other teaching hospitals. Last summer, Sisters Hospital provided four medical student fellowships, two of which were awarded to SU Y/Buffalo students. In September 1978, the hospital and its medical staff participated in the physical diagnosis for second year medical students. The University supports a study of "Hyperlipidemia in Diabetes Mellitus." Another research program is "Total Parenteral utrition as an Adjunct to Head and eck Cancer Patients." Veterans Administration Medical Center The Buffalo V.A. Medical Center, located in close proximity to the SUNY /Buffalo School of Medicine, represents a full range medical facility of 858 inpatient beds, 36 nursing home beds and a large ambulatory care program. The Buffalo V.A. Medical Center is committed to quality patient care, educational opportunities, including clinical experience for students in the health sciences and research efforts geared toward the advancement of health science knowledge. Because of its fully developed special medical programs, wealth of resources and educational affiliation potentialities, it operates as the key support hospital for other V.A. Medical Centers in a wide medical geographic district. The long standing affiliation between the V.A. Medical Center and the School of Medicine and other SU Y/Buffalo Health Sciences Schools continues to be of mutual benefit. Responsibility for meeting educational standards rests with SU Y/Buffalo Schools of Health Sciences. This mutually advantageous and interdependent affiliation has developed in an exceptionally fine manner in Buffalo, resulting in enriched WINTER, 1978 resources and outcomes for both institutions. The strength and intensity of the affiliation has increased substantially in the past five years, and many more students are assigned to this hospital for clinical training. Each year several thousand Health Sciences students receive educational experiences at the V.A. Medical Center. This mutual venture has facilitated the successful use of multidisciplinary ventures in education, training and delivery of health care among the various components of the medical community. The V.A. Medical Center provides the basic support systems for these training programs and contributes substantially to the graduate continuing medical education programs. The V.A. Medical Center is committed to a strong multifaceted research program. Funds for the various projects typically come from the V.A. merit review system, .I.H. research grants, and other federal granting agencies. Several research investigators with joint university and V.A. appointments are represented in active research programs in the V.A. Center (e.g. endocrinology, rheumatology, immunology, nephrology, etc.). The intensification of this research affiliation trend has been notable in the past few years. The V.A. Medical Center - SUNY /Buffalo affiliation relationship is guided by the Vice President's Committee which is composed of the Deans of the Schools. of Health Sciences Faculty, several department chairmen of the School of Medicine and key V.A. representatives. The Committee is chaired by the SUNY /Buffalo Vice President for Health Sciences. The Committee reviews all matters of policy that relate to the eff.ective affiliation commitments of educatiOn and research, reviews and approves all professional staff appointments. The committee has been effective as a working body to insure that the mutual resources of each affiliation unit are utilized to the maximum benefit of each group, thereby enchancing the ultimate goals of quality patient care, high level education opportunities and visionary research efforts. d27 �Departments DEAN'S STAFF coordinates and administers the educational and research functions of the School of Medicine. The operational activity is conducted through 25 departments, seven basic science and 18 clinical science. Most departments, but not all, are structured along disciplinary identifications. Larger departmental units conduct their programs through a divisional structure, each directed by a head responsible to the department chairperson. The Dean and his staff relate to chairpersons on a one-to-one basis or in group forums such as the Pre-Clinical Council , Clinical Council, Executive Committee and Faculty Council. The basic science departments are responsible for the education of all Health Sciences students, the conduct of graduate programs at the Master's Degree and Doctor of Philosophy Degree levels, and for providing required educational and research support to the clinical units. The clinical departments participate principally in medical student and graduate medical education, (interns and residents), and many provide required clinical supervision and training for other Health Sciences students. Continuing medical education is conducted through the departmental structure and coordinated through the Office of Continuing Medical Education. THE Interdepartmental Studies Under the joint auspices of several of the departments of the school, several courses are offered which provide a collaborative approach to medical education integrating basic medical science and clinical science material. It is anticipated that this " team approach," in each course adds depth and breadth to the students' curriculum. SUNY /Buffalo, like other American medical schools, is a complex and diversified organization. Thus, it mirrors most medical schools in many aspects and has some programs not found at most institutions. Table I depicts the departmental comparison of SUNY /Buffalo with two of its sister schools in the SUNY system. SUNY /Buffalo has 25 departments compared to 22 at School A and 18 at School B.

THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �A basic science lab. Biochemistry Dr. Alexander Brownie was appointed Chairperson in 1977. This department has a SUNY allocation of 18.7 faculty and 11.5 nonteaching positions. During his first year in the chair Dr. Brownie has revitalized the department and has recruited four new faculty members to strengthen its educational and research program. This department is one that has been reunited on the Main Street Campus in refurbished quarters. Previously its faculty was divided between the Main Street Campus and the Bell Plant. The medical student course is taught over the entire two semesters of the first year. The department's research efforts include a bioinorganic research group dedicated to the study of metalloenzymes, especially copper-containing proteins; collaborative studies in Human Critical Illness between Dr. Rapier McMenamy and Dr. John Border ; allergenicity of patients stung by insects or snakes; gene expression ; hemoglobin synthesis and hemoglobinpathies; membrane synthesis ; biochemical endocrinology; and neurochemistry. dBasic Sciences Anatomical Sciences This department is chaired by Dr. Harold Brody. Its present SU Y funding provides for 17 faculty positions and 14.8 non-teaching positions. The department conducts all education in Gross Anatomy, Embryology, Histology, and Neuroanatomy for medical, dental, and other health sciences students. During Dr. Brody's tenure as Chairperson, the department has initiated research programs in reproductive biology, cell biology and electron microscopy. These programs are in addition to the chairperson's own program in the area of aging. The initiation of the new investigative programs was made possible through the recruitment of new faculty personnel and through the remodeling of the quarters in which the department is housed. The latter was managed through the utilization of available federal Capitation Funds, state allocated resources, and the generosity of the Class Reunion Gift Program sponsored by the alumni association in 1976. WI TER, 1978 A typical lecture. ~ - ._ -14' t.;..;4.,.- - ..... ~.. ~-- ~_,._.., 29 . ~ �A seminar. Biophysical Sciences Dr. Michael Anbar assumed direction of this department in 1977. It is supported with 7.7 faculty and 2.8 non-teaching positions. Since Dr. Anbar's arrival, most of the department has been relocated from the Ridge Lea Campus to Cary Hall on the Main Street Campus. In addition, the School of Medicine developed a Mass Spectrometry Center which now houses four units. These units provide a research capability which permits in the diagnosis of metabolic disorders by multi-component analysis; the detection of stable isotopics in pharmacological and oncological studies; and study of multiple organ failure. The departmental faculty is reorganizing its medical student curricular offerings to provide students with the nature and basis of clinical biophysics. The topics included are diagnostic imaging; measurement of blood flow and pressure; radiation therapy; hemodialysis; cardiac pacemakers and electro-rescissi tation; and the clinical implications of regulation and control of biological systems. 30 Microbiology Dr. Felix Milgram is Chairperson. Its funding support includes 19.9 faculty and 14.2 non-teaching positions as well as 2.0 teaching positions administered through the Center for Immunology. Both the department and the Center were initially headed by Dr. Ernest Witebsky. Today, the Center for Immunology is directed by Dr. James Mohn. The department has maintained and expanded in the rich tradition in immunology which has been synonymous with its long history as well as providing basic educational and research activity in bacteriology and virology. The department has maintained its strong tradition of combining laboratory and lecture in its educational format. Its graduate program is the largest of its type in the United States. The department has been a world leader in continuing medical and graduate education, and has become well known for the international convocations it conducts on regular intervals. Although its research contributions and research programs are too numerous to summarize in a short space, there is virtually no area dealing with tissue specificity or the immunopathological process that its faculty either has not contributed to or made a substantial initial contribution. During the 197778 academic year $823,000 in research funds was generated by the microbiology faculty. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Pathology This department which spans the basic and the clinical sciences is supported with 16.6 faculty positions and 14.7 non-teaching positions. The unit is directed by Dr. John Wright. He directs and coordinates a large educational effort for undergraduate medical students, residents and graduate students, ensures the quality of service delivery in the teaching hospitals, and large research enterprise. The department's research efforts have often been of a collaborative nature and thus its programs have often been joined to the immunological efforts of Microbiology and the endocrinological programs in Biochemistry. Pharmacology and Therapeutics Dr. Edward Carr, nationally recognized leader in clinical pharmacology, assumed direction of this unit in 1976. Since that time he has reorganized the department and has produced a strong academic program which supports both the basic sciences and the clinical sciences. He has recruited several new faculty members, and Dr. Peter Gessner and Dr. Paul Kostyniak have provided invaluable faculty leadership in the areas of alcoholism and of environmental health, respectively. SU Y support provides 12.1 faculty and 5.5 non-teachings positions. The department provides significant educational support to the Departments of Medicine and of Pediatrics in addition to its normal medical, health sciences and graduate student responsibilities. Its research programs span a number of important areas including toxicology, alcoholism, behavioral effects of drugs, the role of cardiac receptors and betablockade, calcium transport in the myocardium, role of the endothelium in drug metabolism, and the role of the kidney in metabolyzing drugs. The contributions of its faculty to the discipline are legendary. It is supported by 21.4 faculty and 11.8 non-teaching positions. The department receives two NIH sponsored Program Project Grants, one to determine the effects of high and low pressure, temperature, water immersions, and exercise stress on the oxygen delivery systems of the body, and the second to coordinate the work of the five respiratory physiologists in the department. Each is funded at a level of $2 million for five years. Dr. Claes Lundgren directs the first effort and Dr. Leon Farhi the latter. In addition to the above significant research areas the department has a cellular physiology program directed by Dr. Suk Ki Hong, and a large neurobiology program. The latter was directed by Dr. Werner Noell until recently when Dr. Donald Faber assumed its leadership with Dr. Noell's retirement from administrative duties. This unit, still split between the Main Street and Ridge Lea campuses, once housed the Nobel Laureate, Sir John Eccles. A physiology experiment. Physiology The Department of Physiology, under the direction of Dr. Donald Rennie, represents one of the largest and strongest applied physiology departments in North America. WI TER, 1978 31 �Clinical Sciences Anesthesiology This department, one of four presently directed by an acting chairperson, is headed by Dr. John Lauria. A search committee led by Dr. Eugene Mindell, is at work screening candidates, and a permanent chairperson should be on board for the 1979 academic year. The faculty provides selected third year medical students with a two-week clinical experience and offers a month's elective experience to fourth year students. Its research program concentrates on the pulmonary effects of agents which are used to induce hypotension. Dermatology SUNY/Buffalo has the only free standing department in the state system. It is ably led by Dr. Richard Dobson. During his tenure the department has developed a balanced program of education, research, and patient care, and has established a position of national leadership in the area of academic faculty development and of dermatological continuing medical education. Its annual national meeting each spring in Buffalo has consistently been oversubscribed. The department strength includes a Division of Pediatric Dermatology directed by Dr. James Rasmussen, a Division of Dermatopathology directed by Dr. John C. Maize, and an active investigative and service program in its Psoriasis Research Center. Family Medicine L i .k e . D e r m a t o I o g y , t h e S u r g i c a I spec1alt1es, Nuclear Medicine , and Rehabilitation Medicine, this unit, directed by Dr. Robert Seller, is a young free standing departmental partner in the programs at SUNY /Buffalo. Its departmental headquarters are housed at the Deaconess Hospital and in a model Family Medicine Center located near the hospital on Humboldt Parkway. The department trains a total of 36 residents, and contributes to medical student education throughout the four years. Its offerings include a formal preceptorship program in the second year and an Ambulatory Care experience during the fourth year. 32 General Surgery Six teaching hospitals provide the base for most of the departmental teaching, research and service functions. The department is chaired by Dr. Worthington G. Schenk, Jr. Medical students take their clinical surgical clerkships at The Buffalo General Hospital and the Erie County Medical Center, with elective rotations at Children's, Deaconess, Millard Fillmore and VA. The first six weeks of the clerkship is in general surgery, the last six weeks in one of the nine specialty areas. Fourth year students may choose from several one-month sur~i~al electives. The Surgical Residency Trammg Programs are considered nationally competitive. A computer program, developed under the leadership of Dr. John Siegel, is used to improve the care of the critically ill patient at the Buffalo General; and a major trauma research center, funded through support from the ational Institutes of Health and directed by Dr. John Border, is housed at the Erie County Medical Center. The department's research efforts include the internationally acclaimed Trauma Research Center (Dr. John Border), a comp~terized intensive care unit (Dr. John S1eg~l), development of techniques for impro~mg m~ocardial preservation during penods of 1schemia (Drs. George Schimert, Thomas Lajos and Arthur Lee), and advances in cryosurgery (Dr . Andrew Gage) . lts educational programs have been coordinated principally by Drs. Donald Becker and John Cudmore. A p hysician and resident examine a patient. �The Westside Clinic. Gynecology/ Obstetrics This department, directed by Dr. Wayne Johnson, conducts its program in seven area teaching hospitals which provide support for one of the largest ob/gyn teaching programs in the country. In association with the Department of Pediatrics and Children's Hospital it conducts a Perinatal Regional Care Program with Dr. Edmund Egan, associate professor of pediatrics, directing the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Dr. Martin Wingate, professor of ob/gyn, directing the Maternal-Fetal Unit. The department developed with the aid of Federal Capitation funds, the Clyde L. Randall Learning Center in honor of his many contributions to the department, the discipline and the medical school. Two important programs are the Oncology program directed by Dr. M. Hreschyshyn and the Urodynamics Laboratory directed by Dr. David ichols. WI TER, 1978 Medicine Dr. James Nolan has served as Acting Chairperson since January 1, 1978, succeeding Dr. Evan Calkins, who during 17 years as chairperson built a strong academic unit. This department by far the largest and most complex in the medical school, conducts its educational and research activities throughout the teaching hospitals and on the Main Street Campus. Its medical student educational offerings include faculty participation in the first year clinical preceptorship program, direction and implementation of the Introduction to Clinical Medicine course, an 11-week clerkshop experience and approximately 50 per cent of the fourth year learning experience. The department has fostered a strong research emphasis and many of its investigative efforts complement the work of the basic science departments. There are strong clinical investigative programs in cardiology, respiration, allergy and immunology, infectious diseases, gastroenterology, hypertension, prostaglandins, and renal disease. SU Y resources provide 23.3 teaching and 12.3 non-teaching positions and a total annual budget slightly in excess of $1 million . The academic programs are directed and coordinated through the chairperson with the aid of divisional leaders. Several of these individuals are nationally and internationally recognized leaders in their fields. Included among them are Drs. Francis Klocke (cardiology), Robert Klocke (pulmonary disease), Evan Calkins (geriatrics), Milton Weiser (gastroenterology and nutrition), Elliott Middleton (allergy), Morris Reichlin (immunology), Paul J. Davis (endocrinology), James C. Allen (infectious disease), Carl Bentzel (nephrology), Floyd Green (rheumatology), Robin Bannerman (genetics), and Edward Carr, Jr. (clinical pharmacology). d33 �Neurology Dr. Jerry Chutkow assumed direction of this department as its first full-time University Chairperson in 1977. Since that time he has reorganized the faculty, created a division of Pediatric Neurology, headed by Dr. Michael Cohen, and strengthened the teaching program. During 1979, efforts will be directed toward initiating and adding significant research activity to its programs. Medicine Technology, medical students and graduate students. It operates a Radiopharmacy Center which supplies high-quality short-lived radiopharmaceuticals to many of the Buffalo area hospitals. Its research activities are concentrated on the improvement of nuclear medicine imaging techniques with new radiopharmaceuticals and improved instrumentation. Ophthalmology Neurosurgery This unit is directed by Dr. Louis Bakay. The departmental faculty have been leaders in cerebrovascular and neurosurgery, pediatric neurosurgery, and the care of head injuries. Nuclear Medicine Dr. Monte Blau serves as the first fulltime University Chairperson of this specialty department. Although a new Medical School department, its members have long been numbered among the leaders of this field in the United States; a great deal of their pioneering work was performed at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute. The department provides educational opportunities for undergraduate students in Nuclear Removing a vial of radioactive drug from the autoclave in the nuclear medicine lab. This department has been without a fulltime chairperson, and a search committee will be convened in 1979. Faculty of the department conduct three free standing residency programs. The department through a University appointed committee, bestows the prestigious Howe Medal to a leader in the field under the auspices of the Buffalo Ophthalmological Society. Orthopaedics This department is chaired by Dr. Eugene Mindell. It participates actively in the Anatomical Sciences program, and has major research programs in bioengineering and bone pathology. The department's patient care mission stresses management of the injured patient by caring for the musculoskeletal problems and emphasizes multidisciplinary care in the treatment of the arthritic patient. Otolaryngology Dr. John Lore chairs this department. Its faculty is responsible for preparing medical students to perform examinations on the head and neck and to conduct graduate training in otolaryngology. Although staffed by a limited number of full-time faculty it has a heavy research commitment as exemplified by its participation in a ational Cancer Institute sponsored clinical trial on Total Parental Nutrition as an Adjunct to Head and eck Cancer Patients; a chemotherapy trial on the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck; direction and coordination of a Regional etwork Demonstration Project for Head and Neck Cancer; and the establishment of a microvascular laboratory. 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Pediatrics Like the Department of Medicine, this department is quite large and extensive with many sub-specialty divisions and groups, and a large research program which supports and complements its educational-patient care program. The department is chaired by Dr. Elliot Ellis. While the majority of its functions are housed in the Children's Hospital of Buffalo its faculty fulfills obligations to existing programs in the other teaching hospitals especially Mercy and ECMC as well as to various community clinics and organizations. The department has spawned two highly innovative teaching programs; one is the information retrieval and utilization program coordinated by Mrs. Carol Wargula, and the second, a pediatric interview program headed by Dr. Harry Beirne. Its major research programs are conducted in juvenile diabetes; developmental aspects of intestinal enzymes; enzyme replacement therapy in genetic disorders· immunologic aspectic of hepatitis B infe~tion· neutrophil functions; and immunotoxicology.· The department has a long tradition of academic excellence. It flourished for many years under the direction of Dr. Mitchell 1 Rubin. Some of th~ earlier faculty recruits: notably Drs. Erwm Neter, Erika Bruck Robert Warner and Robert Guthrie are stili active contributors to advances in 'pediatric care. Under the direction of Dr. Elliot F Ellis, a number of new leaders have bee~ recruited; among these are Drs. Gerd Cropp (pulmonary disease). Emanuel Lebenthal (gastroenterology), Edmund Egan II (neonatology). James Humbert (hematology/ oncology). Mary Voorhess (endocrinology) and B.H. Park (allergy/immunology). Dr. Pearay Ogra won the prestigious E. Mead Johnson Award in 1978. WI TER, 1978 Eye testing. Psychiatry Dr. Marvin Herz assumed leadership of this department in 1978. He replaced Dr. S. Mouchly Small who chaired the department for 26 years. The department has the major responsibility for most, if not all, of the behavorial, psychological and psychiatric education of medical students and a graduate education program. It developed, under the leadership of Dr. Gloria Roblin, one of the first courses in Human Sexuality in the United States. It has a strong Division of Community Psychiatry, headed by Dr. Frank Baker. The department's research activities span a wide range of areas including the relationship of the delivery of mental health services to the treatment of schizophrenia. 35 �Rehabilitation Medicine Dr. Glen Gresham assumed direction of this department in 1978. A university residency program in physical medicine and rehabilitation directed by Dr. K. H. Lee offers four years of training. There is also a federally-supported summer elective program for 12 second year students, and year-round clinical electives. Medical rehabilitation is a university-affiliated clinical and teaching program offered at four teaching hospitals. There are special outpatient programs for handicapped drivers and cardiac rehabilitants. Radiology This department is chaired by Dr. Eugene Leslie. It offers a full spectrum of educational activities for medical and graduate students, and resident-in-training in diagnostic imaging and therapeutic radiology, continuing education and in-service programs for technicians and nurses. Residency training is enriched by campus visits of outstanding radiologists from other cities. The Radiologic Learning Center is located at the Erie County Medical Center. It is a nationally organized teaching file that originated at the University of California and is available through the American College of Radiology. The U/B radiology department contributed to the head and neck portion of this file. Patient care includes the full spectrum of diagnostic imaging and of therapeutic radiology in the participating hospitals. Major research includes: the effects of alcohol on the gastrointestinal tract; diagnostic imaging techniques and devices; computerized tomography (C.T.) applications in clinical medicine; cardiac nuclear imaging and clinical uses of Gallium scanning; and clinical radiation physics and radiobiological studies. 36 Rehabilitation of patients is important. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A typical te aching hospital situation. Social and Prevantative Medicine This department stresses the development of the medical students' understanding of the role of the physician in the resolution of the many pressing current health and medical care problems which exist in the modern community. It is directed by Dr. Harry Sultz, acting chairperson. During the last academic year major changes have occurred in both content and format of courses. A unit on the organization of health care was shifted to the second semester of the freshman year; the subject matter of epidemiology and biometry was integrated into a 17-week unit offered during the sophomore year and; the unit on cost effectiveness and quality assurance was expanded and placed at the end of the sophomore year. Human Values and Medical Ethics has been expanded as a component of undergraduate and graduate medical education, continuing medical education and education of nurses and other health care personnel. Two research grants which total more than one million dollars provide support for the study of functions and education of nurse practitioners and social epidemiology of cancer. WI TER, 1978 Urology This department uses the facilities of six hospitals to teach medical students, surgical and urology residents, nurses and technicians and other paramedical personnel. Dr. Maurice Gonder, acting chairperson, directs this unit. It coordinates its research activities with other basic science and clinical departments. Some projects include: the evaluation of prolactin and androgen receptors in prostatic cancer; the use of cryosurgery and chemotherapy for the locally invasive prostatic cancer; the role of prolactin in prostate metabolism; the use of cytoxan - 5 fluorouracil (FU) in advanced prostatic cancer; the adjunctive chemotherapy of bladder carcinoma using diamino-dichloro platinum; fluorouracil and adriamycin; and the use of Sinmet and Lergotril in the treatment of advanced prostatic carcinoma. 37 �Physical Facilities The Research Mission SUNY/Buffalo's faculty has always accepted the premise that an excellent educational program requires a strong research effort to sustain and nourish it. A recent review of the research funding from 1962 through 1978 included a per annum accumulative growth of approximately 162 per cent with the Health Sciences Faculty accounting for 59 per cent of the total extramural funds recruited to the SUNY/Buffalo Campus in 1977. The research support administered by the Research Foundation on behalf of the School of Medicine approximated $7.8, $8.2, and $8.1 millions in 1975-76, 1976-77, and 1977-78 respectively. These amounts do not reflect resource funding administered through the teaching hospitals nor faculty participation in the Veterans Administration research mission. In reviewing the 1978 entitlement for the Biomedical Research Support Grant, the SU Y/Buffalo School of Medicine ranked 42nd among the 109 medical schools which qualified for this award. SU Y/Downstate, a school with a much larger faculty, ranked 57th and SUNY /Upstate, a school of comparable faculty size ranked 74th. It is apparent that SU Y/Buffalo's faculty are viable and vital partners in the nation's biomedical research mission. The school's research mission is enhanced internally by the Buswell Fellowship Program and by an active summer research fellowship program for medical students. Although the school ranks among the nation's leaders in quantity and quality of research support and activity, it is a mission which cannot be taken for granted. Not only is a medical school's internal vitality nourished by this mission, but its visibility and reputation externally are dependent on it. Thus, an ongoing commitment to this important mission by the faculty must be sustained and the University must provide the necessary facilities and support structures in which the work can be conducted. 38 T he tremendous expansion of the Buffalo campus which accompanied its joining the SUNY system created horrendous problems for virtually every segment of the University. The School of Medicine faculty was seriously impacted by this situation, and for years its basic science faculty was located on the Main Street Campus, at 2211 Main Street, the Bell Plant, and the Ridge Lea Campus. The development of the new University Campus in Amherst will eventually make adequate room and facilities available on the Main Street Campus to house the Health Sciences Programs including many of those in the School of Medicine. Unfortunately, the ew York State fiscal crisis delayed the time table for the completion of the Amherst campus, and thus the envisioned rehabilitation of the Main Street Campus. evertheless, opening some of the Amherst Campus has made it possible to relocate many of the off-site programs. During the 1977-78 academic year the School of Pharmacy and the Department of Biology vacated Cary Hall and moved to Amherst. The vacated facilities were refurbished and those units of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Pathology located at the Bell Plant were moved back. For the first time in SUNY /Buffalo's history these three departments are united in a single complex. During the same period a major portion of the Neurophysiology program which had been located at 2211 Main Street near Sisters Hospital was relocated in Cary Hall. Most of the Biophysics Department was relocated from the Ridge Lea campus to Cary Hall. Concurrently, the Stockton Kimball Tower was being renovated to house many of the programs of the School of Nursing and the School of Health Related Professions. Completion of this project will make some additional space available for the School of Medicine to house some of its administrative and other academic functions. While these developments are helpful and encouraging, there will still be fragmentation of some basic science programs for an indeterminate period of time, and it will not be possible to upgrade all of the facilities that require elimination of obsolescence until additional space becomes available on the Main Street Campus. Since it is apparent that it may be several more years before total renovation of the THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Health Sciences facilities will be completed on the Main Street Campus, the school has worked with the departments to upgrade as many facilities as it can. Major projects, each of which have facilitated the work of the School of Medicine, have been completed since 1974. Included among these are the development and equipping of three new laboratories in the Department of Pharmacology; the total renovation of the environmental laboratories in Physiology; renovation of a new laboratory suite in Microbiology; construction of a learning center; construction of a reproductive biology center and new electron microscopic suite in Anatomical Sciences; and the renovation and reorganization of the administrative offices. These projects were completed through joint cooperation and assistance with the Facilities Planning Office of SU Y/Buffalo, and the ability of the school to utilize resources made available from a number of programs, including the generous support of private donors and the Alumni Organization. There is still great need to upgrade and develop student support facilities on the Main Street Campus. The lecture rooms in particular do not lend themselves to the ultimate in modern teaching techniques. In order to accomplish required renovations the School of Medicine has submitted a proposal to the APFME for renovation of a major lecture room. This proposal is in the process of appraisal and review, and hopefully, will be found worthy of this organization's support. The third and fourth year medical students and the clinical faculty are dispersed throughout the region in existing clinical facilities. Each teaching hospital provides office, laboratory and teaching facilities. In 1977, the SUNY system completed negotiations with the Children's Hospital of Buffalo which made it possible for the institution to be reimbursed for the cost of supporting the faculty's academic efforts. Similar agreements will eventually be developed with The Buffalo General Hospital and the Erie County Medical Center. At the present time many of the academic activities at ECMC are housed in facilities leased by SUNY /Buffalo. The Veterans Administration Medical Center has renovated many areas of their physical plant to accommodate and support the teaching mission, and during 1977-78 added 2,500 more square feet of research laboratory space. WINTER, 1978 Health Sciences Library The Health Sciences Library in Stockton Kimball Tower serves the faculty, students, and staff of the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Health Related Professions. It also serves to back up the libraries of the teaching hospitals in Erie County. Its collection is comprehensive, including materials on all the subject fields of interest in the teaching, research and clinical programs of the units which it serves. About 2,700 current periodical ti ties are received and more than 180,000 books, bound periodical volumes and audiovisual items are available. The library is a member of MEDLINE and TOXLINE and Bibliographic Retrieval Services (BRS) Networks, all online computer information retrieval systems for searching over 3,000 international health science journals and thousands of other scientific books, reports and journals. The library's facilities are available for reference use and a trained professional staff is on hand to assist the reader. The library is one of the designated resource libraries in the program of the New York and ew Jersey Regional Medical Library, and serves health professionals of the eight counties of Western New York, through hospital and health institution libraries. Many local physicians have allied themselves with the Library by joining the Friends of the Health Sciences Library. The Friends meet at the Library at least once a year, hear speakers on research topics and HSL innovations, and in general help maintain interest in Library developments. This year, the Friends are sponsoring the second annual Rudolph E. Siegel Student Essay Contest on the History of the Medical Sciences. The Library's History of Medicine Collection which includes a number of early (17th and 18th century) medical classics and an excellent overview of 19th century medicine has recently added several early medical instruments and, among others,: 39 �Wier, Johann, 1515-1588. Opera omnia. Ed. nova ... Amstelodami: Petram VandenBerg, 1660. Wier is considered the founder of medical psychiatry.

Last spring, the Health Sciences Library dedicated the Bernhardt S. and Sophie B. Gottlieb Collection in the Behavioral Sciences and Psychiatry. Bernhardt Gottlieb, M'21, is a psychiatrist. His late wife, Sophie, was a psychologist. The endowment fund will be used to enrich the Health Sciences Library's Collections in the fields of psychiatry and psychology. The materials purchased with this money will be integrated into the collection, but it will be easily recognized by the unique Gottlieb Collection bookplate each will carry. Because of Dr. Gottlieb's generosity HSL already has a number of precious volumes on neurology and psychiatry, several new journal subscriptions and many current books in behavioral sciences and psychiatry. These additions to the Library and all the purchases to be made in future years will be of immeasurable value to present and future physicians in the Buffalo area. The Library's Media Resources Center, which houses a collection of audiovisual materials (slide, video cassettes, filmstrips, audio cassettes) in the basic and clinical sciences has continued to improve and expand its services to students and faculty. Among the titles which have been added to the collection in resent months are: The Psychiatry Learning System, a 38-part video 40 cassette series produced at the Medical University of South Carolina; Basic Diagnostic Radiology, a 16-part slide/audio cassette series by Lucy Frank Squire, M.D. and Alice Ettinger, M.D.; Gross Anatomy,a 13-part slide set produced by the National Medical Audiovisual Center; and the American Physiological Society's Illustrated Lectures in Acid/Base Physiology, Cardiac Physiology, Renal Physiology, and Renal Pathophysiology. The materials, cataloged and arranged according to the National Library of Medicine's classification system, are located on the third floor of the Library, Stockton Kimball Tower. Facilities and equipment for individual and group use of the materials are also available. The Information Dissemination Service (IDS) of the Health Sciences Library is designed to expedite the dissemination of information to the faculty and practicing physicians. The service is available through the hospital library or by calling 831-4937 to receive computerized literature searches, photocopies of articles, loan of books, or reference service. As the library's "thankyou file" indicates, the ever-increasing variety and flexibility of data bases have proved invaluable in retrieving information tailored to specific clinical or research problems. Sameday service insures that faculty receive the information rapidly for timely application in the patient care setting.

FALL, 1978 1 �Dear Alumni and Alumnae: Dean Naughton From the desk of: John P. Naughton, M.D. Dean, School of Medicine I am pleased to report that the School of Medicine has been successful in its attempt to recruit a Chairman and Professor of Psychiatry capable of filling the void created by the mandatory retirement of Dr. S. Mouchly Small. As each of you know, Dr . Small served the institution faithfully and well as Chairman and Professor of Psychiatry for twenty-six years. During that lengthy tenure he guided the department through the transition from a private medical school to a state operated school; emphasized and acted out a primary emphasis on the importance of medical student teaching; became a recognized leader and authority in the areas of Continuing Medical Education and physician recertification; and developed a significant number of well trained psychiatrists who are making their contributions on the local and/ or national mental health scene. Dr. Marvin Herz will move to Buffalo from the Georgia Mental Health Center in Atlanta, Georgia where he has been Director of Research for the Georgia Mental Health Institute. (It's good to know that not all Atlantans must derail themselves in Washington, D.C.!) Prior to his Atlanta experience Dr. Herz was in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University for ten years. There he established himself as a teacher, clinical investigator, clinician and administrator. His contributions to the field of Mental Health Services Delivery are particularly noteworthy. I hope that each of you is as enthusiastic and supportive of Dr. Herz's coming to SUNY-Buffalo as I am. He will uphold the tradition of excellence championed by Dr. Small, and be instrumental in moving the department another step forward into its rightful place as one of the major departments in the state and nation. Before closing, it might be encouraging and reassuring to you to review the School of Medicine's record in recruiting new departmental chairmen during the past three years. They include Dr. Elliot Ellis, Pediatrics from the University of Colorado; Dr. Theodore Carr, Pharmacology and Therapeutics, University of Louisville; Dr. Michael Anbar, Biophysical Sciences, Stanford Research Institute; Dr. Glen Gresham, Rehabilitation Medicine, Tufts; Dr. Jerry Chutkow, eurology, Mayo Medical School and Mayo Clinic; and Dr. Monte Blau, Nuclear Medicine, Roswell Park Memorial Cancer Institute. Sincerely, JOHN NAUGHTO , M.D. Dean 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �A Message from Edmond Gicewicz, M'56 President, Medical Alumni Association Dear Colleagues: Your alumni embarks on the new year with a good deal of optimism and enthusiasm for the future. We intend for Spring Clinical Day, which will be held in late April or early May, 1979, to become a bit more aggressive in our response to the bureaucrats and other self serving groups who make a habit of attacking medicine. Our plans call for the Spring Clinical Day scene to be, "What's Right In American Medicine." We plan to emphasize the quantum jumps that medicine has made in the past fifteen years for the benefit of our citizens. We also plan to indicate how bureaucracy hinders the practice of medicine in our country. With these thoughts as an introduction to our coming year, might I encourage you to respond promptly when your dues letters are received, since plans must be made for the smooth running of our medical alumni office. We will continue to serve our Medical School with continued dedication. Sincerely, Edmond J. Gicewicz, M.D. Dr. Gicewicz FALL,1978 3 �The medical ethics panel: Drs. Robert Dickman, H.T. Englehardt, Jr. , Dean John Naughton, David M. Klein and Margaret Werick, sophomore medical student. MEDICAL ETHICS AND HUMAN VALUES Spring Clinical Days Dr. Sullivan, Sue Halpern , acting alumni secretary. By Dean John Naughton I am pleased to have been invited to participate in this important and timely seminar on Medical Ethics. The panel that has been assembled is indeed an impressive one, and the range of topics listed is certainly broad enough to highlight and emphasize the fact that there is virtually no area of medical education or medical practice which does not have an ethical consideration related to it. Obviously, in contrast to the remaining speakers I am neither expert nor specialist in any aspect of ethics. However, as a physician, an investigator, an educator and an administrator, I certainly must deal with many matters in a rational and correct manner. In these roles, I am concerned that today 's medical students and practicing physicians are provided the necessary opportunities to explore those issues which concern them and are helped to achieve that sense of security which is required when arriving at difficult decisions without being unjustifiably burdened by unnecessary guilt feelings or other consequences. The question that I have been asked to address relates to the interaction of the medical education system with the areas of ethics and human values. If one evaluates the title, it is apparent that several questions may have been suggested simultaneously by the program committee. Among them might be: 1. Is there a role for ethics and human values in medical education? This question suggests a yes or no outcome, when you and I know there is only a single correct conclusion. 2. Does medical education have a role for ethics and human values? Again, there is no alternative answer to an affirmative response. 3. Do medical schools in today's situation, in particular, SUNYBuffalo, include or encourage the development of ethical behavior among its students? There are probably a number of alternative responses for this question. 4. Is medical education in 1978 devoid of ethical material in its educational programs? Certainly, a question which deserves explanation. The above are four examples of questions that the program committee may have had in mind when they set up today 's agenda. There could be others as well, and members of that body can 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �probably state them with greater clarity and more preciseness than I. That is beside the point. The salient fact is that your program committee has seen fit to emphasize a need to explore questions of whether your School of Medicine sees a role for giving conscious and overt priority to the areas of medical ethics and human values, and if it does what are some of the conceptual needs and goals that should be met. I am delighted to report that the faculty and student body of SU Y-Buffalo's School of Medicine does acknowledge a need and a responsibility to provide an emphasis on and an intellectual experience in the areas of medical ethics and human values. This has been amply demonstrated during the past three years by the gradual, yet sustained, evaluation of formalized sessions on problems in medical ethics; the creation of a multidisciplinary, inter-school committee whose charge is to bring a structure, program objectives, and a body of content information to the faculty and students, and as you will hear from Margaret Werick in the next talk, by active participation by the students in guiding the faculty on the specifically perceived needs of the students. The administration of the School of Medicine has aided these efforts through inspiration, the provision of necessary fiscal support to carry out many of the objectives of the committee, and by recruiting outside experts and professionals from agencies such as the Endowment for the Humanities to serve as expert consultants to the administration, faculty and students. It is my belief from traveling to other medical schools throughout the United States and from my meetings with the Deans of the other eleven medical schools in New York State that SU Y-Buffalo is doing as good a job in this area as many schools with slightly more structured programs, and a better job than are a vast majority of American Medical Schools. It is far too early to explore all the reasons for this judgment, but there are two factors worth reporting: 1. SUNY-Buffalo, in contrast to many medical schools, has a stronger, more visible interface with the problems of the practicing physician, and thus, his problems quickly become the student's problems. d- FALL, 1978 5 Dr. James R. Nunn chats with a colleague. �SUNY-Buffalo, while maintaining most of the elements of a traditional medical education experience, has developed a capacity for flexibility and the initiation of new programs. Now, having arrived at the point where it is apparent at SUNY-Buffalo, at least, that students, faculty and administration are in agreement that consideration of and education in medical ethics and human values is important; that there is a role for such information in medical education, and that medical educators have a role to play as well, it seems necessary to relate one to the other. As an individual, I became aware of this role in the mid1960's. Interestingly enough, neither because of the conflict related to Viet Nam nor the counter-culture, but because of a single, dramatic event which was destined to change many, if not all, of the relationships of society to the medical world; namely, the first successful cardiac transplantation by Christiaan Barnard. At that time, I was numbered among the seemingly dying band of human clinical investigators. During the week immediately preceding this amazing feat, I had reviewed Dr. Shumway's paper on cardiac transplantation in animals and his concluding speculation that cardiac transplantation in humans was at least ten years away because of the lack of acceptance by the medical community, and more importantly, by the society. Then, like the precipitous force of a tornado spawned from out of the blue, Barnard accomplished and acknowledged this feat almost as if it were accomplished overnight. He proved Shumway's speculation wrong in every way. The medical profession was stunned, but accepting; patients with cardiovascular disease throughout the world were volunteering to be subjects for transplantation; and the society was filled with new hope that life, at whatever costs, risk and inconvenience, could and should be maintained. I was directing an experimental cardiac rehabilitation program at the time, and even some of the best performing patients queried me as to when they should have a transplantation. I bring this event to your attention, because from my perspective it was at this point in modern medical history that society handed to the medical profession a warmth that it was not prepared to accept. 2. Drs. Pannill, Naughton The 50-year class reunion Brock, and Floyd C. Bratt. Drs. Joseph M. Hill, Bruno Schutkeker, Thelma Spring Clinical Days 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Nevertheless, the medical profession's role formally assumed some of those functions which are still probably best left with other noble professions such as theology, and law. In fact, even though still young and naive, I predicted to myself that in future years we would be exploring problems such as we are today. During the dozen or so years that have transpired since that historic event we have experienced the gradual, yet obvious, vocal and intellectual concern about ethics and human values in medicine . My prediction is that the depth of interest and concern will intensify, because the problems and dilemmas with which we deal will become more complex. As a medical educator I welcome the formalization of a body of knowledge dealing with the areas of ethics and human values. But, I also feel that just as we approach other areas of medical education with a critical appraisal, we do the same in this area . Among the reasons for today's symposium must be listed a need for knowledge on how to deal with difficult issues which bring science into conflict with human need. As these conflicts are identified and explored, there can be a tendency to do harm either to needed and justified scientific inquiry advances in the name of human concern and dignity, and thus human need could be rendered a disservice. This can be prevented if the faculty charged with developing the program applies the same critical standards to its content and productivity as do other faculties. Let me dwell on a couple of examples which demonstrate my concern: 1. Many advances in medicine have been thwarted out of misplaced concern for human values. As an example, postinfarction care highlights this situation. Many of you in this room, as was I, were raised with the concept that for the myocardial infarction patient, activity in excess of normal walking was harmful. We were taught that the heart required at least six weeks of complete bedrest if it was to heal properly. Today, we know that such advice for most myocardial infarction patients was unwarranted and that in fact, such advice was harmful in all aspects of recovery and rehabilitation. Why have our attitudes changed? Because through the careful and critical acquisition of knowledge we discovered that properly applied, physical activity is beneficial, not detrimental, for cardiac patients. Today, I ask you, what were and ardFALL, 1978 7 Dr. Carmela Armenia �the ethical considerations in this matter? Similar examples could be presented in regard to the use of coronary care units, invasive cardiology, and coronary by-pass surgery. 2. I am pleased to have been among the first to use "informed consent," and am of the belief that in time we will all find that properly and judiciously used, it is a tool which will facilitate communication between physician and patient. But, for many, informed consent is seen as a primitive tool, a barrier to communication rather than a facilitator. In my opinion, this unfortunate situation has not been created by the medical profession, per se, but rather by a lack of understanding on the part of many ethicists who perceive the medical scientific community as oblivious to the advisability and desirability of this procedure. Obviously, the medical schools must strive to educate future physicians on the value, and implementation of informed consent, but just as importantly, we must educate them to relate their concern and acceptance not only to patients but to the society at large. From the above, I hope it has become apparent, that as an educator and physician, I see a role for education in medical ethics and human values for medical students and physicians, and could elaborate in still other areas of concern. But you have many experts with you today to help you in these matters. I would like to complete my presentation by presenting just one more area for your consideration. It is easy to accept a need for education in medical ethics when one is faced with the difficult life and death issues presented to the profession by the patient in chronic renal failure, the child with acute leukemia, or the results of an acute injury- a Karen Ann Quinlan. We cannot, in my opinion, allow these issues to be the sole focus of the profession's concern with medical ethics and human values. To be sure, they are important issues, but they are tertiary level The winning exhibit: Hemodynamic Monitoring in Acute Myocardial Infarction by Drs. Goldfarb, Conti, Yaung, and Golden af department af medicine, Millard Fillmore Hospital. �Spring Clinical Days Alumni are honored at the luncheon issues and comprise a small fraction of the areas with which we must concern ourselves. In the years ahead the Western world, the United States in particular, will undergo dramatic change in its social priorities and health care needs. As resources become more limited the medical profession will be faced with the need to make difficult decisions that would be avoided and even ignored during the years of an expanding economy and population base. Schools of Medicine must prepare future physicians to deal with these problems through the development of the adequate knowledge base, critical analysis, and proper discussion and evaluation. We must accept and be prepared to deal with the fact that as resource limitations increase, yet technological advances continue, physicians as individuals and as a profession will be faced with the task of making serious ethical decisions which will place us in ever increasing dilemmas, but because the choices will not be between good and bad, but rather which good will best serve the needs of the profession and of the society in the years ahead. Thus, our tasks will become even more complex and difficult, and our need for a sound foundation in ethical decision making will be even greater.D Margaret Werick, a second year medical student, suggested that the physicians think about the advances that have been made in medicine since they graduated. "These changes have brought ethical dilemmas in recent years. Today there are many problem areas - abortions, sexual therapies, drugs, test tube babies, and alcohol. These problems must not be sidestepped. "Medical students want to observe erhics around the clock, not just one hour a day or week. You as physicians must have a sincere interest in ethics as well as clinical problems." Ms. Werick reviewed the early history in medical ethics at the Medical School. In 1976 an ad-hoc student-faculty committee was formed and a symposium on Humanistic Medicine followed. Then d- FALL , 1978 9 Medical Ethics �Dean John Naughton named the Human Values and Medical Ethics Education Committee. Several seminars followed and more are planned for next year. In conclusion Ms. Werick said, "no one can give you your morals, but physicians can give you guidelines and teach you how to handle ethical dilemmas." Ethics means customs and habits, according to Dr. Robert Dickman. "It is a code of behavior or medical etiquette that covers everything from bedside manners to advertising to split fees." The assistant professor of social and preventive medicine, who was instrumental in putting this two-way program together, spoke about the rigorous discipline that is demanded of physicians. "Each of us must have a set of moral principles that has universal appeal. These principles will tell us how to act in certain situations." Dr. Dickman mentioned the intense four-week medical ethics seminar that he attended in 1977 at Georgetown University's Rose Kennedy Center for Bioethics. "I was one of 15 physicians from around the country at this seminar. Only one other person was from academic medicine. "To understand medical ethics it is important to understand what it is not. It's not just putting humanism in health care. It's not family medicine. It is not medical sociology. Rather it is an approach, a way of negotiating or talking about various moral intuitions we have which refer to specific dilemmas in the health care field." Dr. Dickman asked, "how do we distribute health care goods and values- in our society?" He spoke of two philosophies- doing the greatest good for the greatest number of people; and actions taken regardless of consequences. Drs. Venkayaraman Balu, Elaine Bukowski and David Dean at one of the winning exhibits {3rd place tie) during Spring Clinical Days. �Spring Clinical Days "What about individual freedom and the rights of the patient? The rise in medical technology has placed before us a variety of ethical dilemmas which never existed - such as our ability to preserve life which also may entail considerable suffering. The Hippocratic Oath tells us we have to preserve life, prevent suffering and promote well being. But now with the expanded technological bases, the first two come into conflict and we have many ethical dilemmas involving them," Dr. Dickman said. "There is also the doctor-patient relationship. It used to be a very private affair in the home. Today the decisions are made in the hospital and held up to public scrutiny." In conclusion Dr. Dickman said, "ethics is a precise approach to problems. To many, ethics and medicine should be more closely related." There are many value judgments that are important in decision making, according to Dr. H.T. Englehardt Jr. "Ethical values are not the only values that guide us in making decisions." The professor of bioethics at the Rose Kennedy Center for Bioethics, Georgetown University, suggested that physicians should conduct themselves "in a way that isn't private to their own views. If we are going to talk about ethics we must understand what we mean by it. Ethics is not coercion but only a suggestion of how to negotiate a problem. Ethics attempts to achieve clarity." The physician-philosopher noted that ethics won't tell you which decision is best. "But it helps us get along with our patients, with society and with our colleagues. Ethics is a form of putting all issues on the table for negotiation." Dr. Englehardt pointed out that the AMA had its first code of ethics 130 years ago. Ethics is definitely tied to history, he said. Medicine is free pursuit, the educator asserted. "But how do you balance goods and values as they relate to health care?'' FALL, 1978 11 �Dr. Englehardt asked the physicians how they viewed medical practice? Is it acute care, preventive medicine or ordinary health care? He mentioned brain death vs body death; being alive as a person and being alive as a human. In conclusion Dr. Englehardt suggested that only recently has medicine viewed itself. Sensitivity and humanism are essential, according to Dr. David M. Klein, associate professor of neurosurgery at U/B. "People either care about people or they don't. We must find medical students who care about people." Dr. Klein noted that he and most people in the audience have always been faced with ethical problems. "I have always discussed problems with the patient and the immediate family . Sometimes the family seeks the advice of the clergy, a social worker, a nurse or a close friend. But then the dilemma : which advice to take?" Dr. Klein went on to say that it is important to educate the patient and in the case of children the parents. " This makes decision making easier. " He also suggested that the concern of the physician for the patient's sensitivity should be divorced from ethical principles. "Our chief concerns evolve around the right to know, the right to live, the right to die. " Dr. Klein touched briefly on government influence at the national and state levels. Different states have different laws regarding treatment of certain diseases. And in some cases a physician must refer to the courts and seek their help. "We as physicians should participate more and get out into the community among our patients and friends and make them understand our problem. We must have practical solutions without too much dialogue. "The delivery of good care is most important. Philosophers can provide us with a better ethic, but not necessarily with the best ethic," Dr. Klein concluded. S econd place exhi bit: Long-te rm Survival after Coronary By-pass Surgery by Drs.

Distribution of Health Services The panel moderator for the Friday afternoon session, Dr. Mila Aroskar, associate professor of graduate nursing education at U/8, said "money and lots of it won't solve all our problems. We must learn how to distribute the money we have to provide the best health care." Dr. Howard Spiro announced that he had devoted his life to the gut. The Yale University professor of medicine suggested that we humans must share medical resources. "We can't do everything we would like to all at once. Medical paraphernalia is costly. Insulin and digatalis is cheap; plastic surgery, artificial hearts and drugs for cancer are costly." The Yale physician indicated that there will soon be some new disorders that "we will have to treat and hopefully cure. As practicing physicians we must decide who will be treated for what. The central, hard decisions of the past 30 years have not changed. We are concerned with medical care and returning the sick to good health." Is it right to sacrifice lives today in hopes of saving future lives? Dr. Spiro noted that physicians aren't trained to allocate resources for patients. "Time as a resource is very short for the physician. He is always under 'the gun of time.' How we spend our time is very important." The physician-educator told his colleagues that life is sacred. "No human should make life or death decisions; this belongs to God." d- FALL,1978 13 �Ten Classes Give $20,800 to Medical School Drs.

Curtis Hell riegel. 14 THE BUFFALO PHYS ICIAN 3~ �Dr. Spiro believes that patients should be selected on a "first come, first served basis" when limited resources are involved. But often the emergency patient is treated before the routinely ill patient, he said. "The economist has all of us in the palm of his hand because of the rapidly rising health care costs. But if we put the cost of preventive medicine (smoking and drinking) into the system, the price will rise even more," Dr. Spiro concluded. Justice must be included as a goal in health planning of the future, according to Dr. Robert M. Veatch. "But there will have to be a compromise between freedom and justice. We don't want justice to sacrifice our freedom." The senior associate, Institute of Society Ethics and the Life Sciences, The Hastings Center, Hastings-on-the-Hudson, noted that physicians are trapped between their Hippocratic Oath commitment and the allocation of scarce resources. "Equality, freedom and efficiency are very important to our health care system. Physicians are perplexed by the difficult choices that they face . Most of their decisions have social implications." Dr. Veatch noted that cost containment was a problem. The cost for artificial hearts and kidneys is staggering. "We just can't afford to pay for everything that it would be nice to have." He agreed with Dr. Dickman on the conflicting philosophies of the Hippocratic Oath. "There is no guidance as to which patient comes first. Do we assist one patient in great need or several with lesser problems? "Physicians can stay loyal to the Hippocratic Oath or they can abandon this tradition and get involved with social ethics and the allocation of scarce resources. These two choices are perplexing to many physicians," Dr. Veatch said. On medical research Dr. Veatch believes there is nothing morally wrong so long as the subject is made aware of the risks and benefits. "Tension between justice and freedom will intensify. And the allocation of scarce resources will continue to be a problem," Dr. Veatch concluded. As a surgeon Dr. Sidney Anthone, M'50, has been making ethical and moral decisions for many years. About 40,000 Americans are suffering from acute kidney disease. Some legislators and administrators in this country, who supported the kidney dialysis program for humanitarian reasons when it was first enacted six years ago, are having second thoughts about it because the costs are becoming enormous. "It is likely that the Federal Government will be paying $1 million in the next fiscal year to keep sufferers of incurable kidney disease alive, an amount that is from three to six times the cost that dFALL, 1978 15 Spring Clinical Days Dr. Ro be rt Ve at ch �Spring Clinical Days Facing Death One of four seminars: Drs.

How many such programs can the government afford? The clinical professor of surgery at the Medical School noted that at least 16,000 people are waiting for kidney transplants. Who should get them- a child or an adult? "The best results come from a live, relative donor." In conclusion Dr. Anthone said, "physicians must use their own good judgment and stay within the law. "0 In his second panel appearance Dr. Englehardt talked about death and dying. "It is possible to call someone dead when actually he isn't. There is the operational and conceptional definitions of death. Karen Quinlan is probably dead but there is no way we can fashion an operational death, but conceptionally she is dead." The bioethics professor suggested that freedom- the right to refuse treatment - must be respected. "Common law has recognized the sense of privacy. The respect for people and the value for human life is important. But how much do we want to invest in the treatment of people and the preservation of life? Sometimes the cost of treating a terminal disease is too much." Dr. Englehardt mentioned several court cases on suicide and death in Texas, New York and Massachusetts. "Individuals have different interests in the way they live, so they probably have different ideas on how they want to die," he concluded. Dr. Edmund Egan believes newborn children are real people even though they can't make decisions and should be treated as such. But he admits that the role the physician has in arriving at decisions is different than with older children or adults. "The role of the physician must be that of a child advocate. The infant is the patient, not the parents," the associate professor of pediatrics said. "Treatment must have a goal. If treatment is instituted or continued without a goal it can be considered torture. The decision must be made in the infant's interest even though it affects the parents' life style. However, the parents must be involved," the chief of neonatology said. "The physician must explain all of the options, state his recommendations and explain why. Total honesty and candor are important." Dr. Egan cited a case history of two children born with brain damage. Both had a 50 percent chance of survival at a hospital cost of $50,000 each. The mother of baby A didn't want the baby; the mother of baby B wanted her baby. Should they both be treated at society's expense? Should these babies be treated because they deserve a chance in life even though they will be retarded?, Dr. Egan asked. 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA l �l Third place (tie) exhibit: Dr. Gresham, department of rehabilitation medicine, E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital/SUNY! Buffalo. "At what point does an infant become the property of parents or a chattel of the state?" Dr. Egan asked. "We are faced with a society that is 'biased for life' and forbids suicide as a way of dying. Because of our investment in technology and life support paraphernalia we have built into our thinking additional biases," Dr. David M. Klein, associate professor of neurosurgery at U/B, said. "There is no good or bad way to die, but there should be free choice. It is difficult to terminate life support because you are bucking tradition." Dr. Klein noted that there is disagreement among the courts in the various states about a person's 'right to live.' "When you think your patient is going to die plan ahead. Sit down and think about your approach to the family. Don't walk away. You have a responsibility to the family. Do everything you can to make the patient and survivors comfortable," Dr. Klein said. In conclusion he reminded his colleagues that "dying is an individual thing and should be so treated. " D "Stockton Kimball played an important role in my career of medical education." This is what Dr. George E. Miller told his colleagues at the annual Stockton Kimball Memorial luncheon as he reviewed his 16 years in Buffalo (1943-1960). "This is homecoming for both me and my wife." The professor of medical education and the coordinator of international activities for the University of Illinois Medical Center noted that Stockton Kimball's work had gone around the world. "It was Dr. Kimball who gave us encouragement, support and leadership to consult experts in the education department at U/B that resulted in changes in medical education. Because of this enFALL, 1978 d17 A Tribute to Stockton Kimball �Mrs . Geo rge Mill er, Drs. John Ri chert, Lawrence M. Carden, Edm ond J. Gi cewicz . Dr. Ge orge Mill e r, lunche on speake r. counter, a major new program was developed at U/ B in medical education, " Dr. Miller said. In the early 1950's a group of 'Young Turks' at the U/ B Medical School were stimulated by Dr. Edward M. Bridge, professor of pharmacology, to engage in regular debate about medical education. The medical students and faculty collaborated with professors in other disciplines at U/ B in what was called "Project in Medical Education. " The main question 25 years ago was: Are medical educators going to restore order to education? When these two unacquainted disciplines - education and medicine - came together at U/B for the first time things begin to happen. The two groups slowly identified what practices would be most useful to the medical educators . "It was Dr. Kimball 's quiet influence and advice that was helpful and made this a unique university experience," Dr. Miller said. A year-long teacher training program with medical students and faculty (both basic science, clinical and education) participating in seminars was one result. Dr. Miller spoke of a paper he had written, on the Buffalo medical education program, "Adventure in Pedagogy. " Nine months later the New England Journal of Medicine condemned his article as a " Disaster in Pedagogy." The Illinois educator paid tribute to Nathaniel Cantor, a behavorial scientist. "He was a very controversial man, who made us look at ourselves and examine how we applied learning techniques to others. He was an educator who sought continuing knowledge. Dr. Cantor gave us a 'once in a life-time experience' in his seminar sessions in 1954. He proved to us that what we were doing as teachers often got in the way of the learning process. Dr. Wm. Carlos Williams, a physician-poet, was a major contributor to our seminar sessions." Dr. Miller mentioned others who contributed to the "Project in Medical Education." They are- Drs. Edwin F. Rosinski, Robert S. Fisk, G. Lester Anderson, Ivan Bunnell, Philip Wels, David Greene, Lawrence Golden, and John Boylan, all U/ B faculty members. Hilliard Jason, a medical student, at that time took a year off his studies to help on the project. 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �From the Buffalo program Dr. Miller authored a book, "Teaching and Learning in Medical School." It has been reprinted three times. Recently the book was printed in a fourth language. Contributing editors were Drs. Ira S. Cohen, psychology; Harold P. Graser, psychiatry; Stephen Abrahamson, RobertS. Harnack and Adelle Land, education. The book is dedicated to the memory of Nathaniel Cantor, Ph.D., "who pointed the way" and Stockton Kimball, M.D., "who provided the encouragement." In 1959, one year after Dean Kimball's death, there was a decline in medical education in Buffalo. "The transplant was cut off, but the colonization began," Dr. Miller said. Many of the people in Buffalo that were associated with this new medical education program went to other medical schools in Michigan, Virginia, California, Illinois, Ohio and to Canada, Australia and the Philippines and initiated this new approach to medical education. "This was the kind of a bountiful harvest - that started from a small beginning at U/B 25 years ago under a visionary man, Dean Kimball," Dr. Miller said. "Today," Dr. Miller asserted, "the lecture is widely used. Is it used skillfully? Does the instructional program match the objectives? The only purpose to be served by teaching is to make individual learning more efficient and more effective. Unless this belief permeates a school an educational program becomes a mockery of education." He asked his colleagues how many have tried to improve your teaching skills through better preparation? Are you effective and efficient? What is our responsibility as educated physicians in this contemporary society? He challenged the students to develop skills in critical thinking. Dr. Miller recalled what John Gardner once said, "whenever reorganization is proposed people will object because they have become attached to the old arrangements. I advise against all such attachments. Put your faith in ideas, ideals, movements and goals. Don't put your faith in organization forms." In conclusion Dr. Miller said, "there are many battles ahead. I would hope for a dean that would tolerate and support thoughtful research as Dean Kimball did 25 years ago. I have nothing but respect, admiration and gratitude for him."D Dr. George E. Miller, Mrs. Stockton Kimball, Drs. Michael Sullivan, Norman Chassin.

Since its founding in 1846, the University has awarded nearly 100,000 degrees. The 1978 class was awarded 3,607 bachelor's, 1,485 master's, 445 academic or professional doc- torates, and 25 associate's. Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton of State University delivered the major address at the 132nd General Commencement in Memorial Auditorium.D Dean John Naughton welcomed the graduates and their families to the 132nd commencement. He praised the 139 graduates (116 men, 23 women) for being an active and innovative class. "You have made significant contributions to the medical school and the community. You have been interested in our admission policies and in primary care. You performed well in your externships and in the clinical process. You have been accepted as interns and residents in good medical centers of this state and the nation." Dr. Naughton also complimented the editors of The Iris, Medical School yearbook. Class representative Clifton Peay said, "we can no longer afford to pay lip service to the concept of preventive medicine. It must become a reality if we are to pass life on to our offspring. We must all work toward providing quality health care as a human right. Doctors must refrain from the habit of unrestrained prescribing of chemical agents. They must re-educate our people who feel there is a chemical answer to each problem." Class representative Mary Carnes said, "we have been a family the last four years. We have shared many feelings, experiences, joys and frustrations. When we leave here today we will carry with us as our family name this university." In dedicating the yearbook to Dr. Evan Calkins, professor of medicine and head of the division of gerontology, Salvatore DelPrete, co-editor, praised Dr. Calkins for being a personable man dedicated to his profession. Dr. Calkins said, "I hope I can live up to this honor. This most distinguished class has worked hard and inspired us to be better teachers." He charged the graduates to "set good goals for yourselves; be good physicians; take good care of your patients, your family, friends and colleagues. Money and social status aren't everything; happiness is more important.

I thought you might like to hear some rousing, inspirational words about how you should all go out into the world and "make like good doctors" - work hard, do good, be honest, make people well, and uphold the high standards of medicine in this country. But then I thought more about you people whom I have come to know over these past four years, and I decided you would probably do all that anyway. So I want to say something a little more personal. When we started medical school four years ago, we were 135 or so individuals. We were very different people. We came from different backgrounds, ideas, and perspectives. Some of us were from the country, some from the city; we were veterans, college radicals, jocks, and hippies. But over these four years we have shared many experiences and feelings. This has created a band among us, making us sort of like a family. We dissected cadavers together; mastered Krebs Cycle together; histology, pathology and microbiology. These are no longer just words or names of courses to us. They are a stream of feelings and memories. We share so many common memories. Surely you all remember the pain of watching one of your fellow classmates give his first patient presentation in front of grand rounds. Remember standing in surgery for hours, with tired feet and wandering mind and being brought abruptly from your reverie by the surgeon's third or fourth impatient cry of Cut! Cut! Remember the joy of participating in your first delivery in obstetrics. And how those babies kept coming and coming and coming all night long. We have shared much - times of incredible joy, times of bitter frustration. But tonight is our graduation, and the last time we will all be together as a family. Tonight is the night to be sure and give a warm hug to those people with whom you dissected a cadaver, to the person with whom you studied the convolutions of the brain, to your drinking buddies, to those people who had to listen to you give your first patient presentation, and to everyone else in our family. ext year, and in the future, when you are all in different places and in different specialties, you will carry with you almost as part of your family name - the State University of ew York at Buffalo School of Medicine; and that you all graduated in the class of 1978. I'm going to miss you all.D Certainly in this Class of 1978 there is a large percentage of persons who were active in this past era known as the '60s. Many of us here were outspoken advocates of the numerous social issues that have reshaped the thinking and policy of our country forever. The underlying thesis of these activities of the 60's was the infusion of moral and human ethics into our world but particularly human conduct. We as remnants of that era, who have now entered the profession of medicine, must infuse this system 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN .. �.. with those beliefs that can benefit mankind. 1. We must recognize that the issue of a clean environment is important to us as physicians as those new, early biochemical markers of disease in persons who are with or without any symptoms. I ask, what good will suffice for us if we continue these technological miracles of diagnosis but yet fail to support efforts to eradicate environmental risks that threaten our very existence . We must coalesce with elements in our world to reduce our risks to these environment causes of disease as diverse as chemical contamination of our world; to support for gun control legislation. After all, homicide is a major cause of death. We must as physicians support progressive legislation thus to enact standards of "preventive health " or else our hospitals will forever be museums - populated by those " interesting cases " derived from man's misuse of his world. 2. One of the most current problems staring at 20th century man is drug abuse. Physicians are targeted by various groups rightly or wrongly - as being the prime stimulus for this problem. Too often physicians have prescribed chemical agents at their patients' insistence and despite their suppressed better judgment. We cannot allow this habit of unrestrained prescribing of chemical agents be they sedatives, tranquilizers or whatever, to continue with our generation. We must seize the initiative to reeducate our people to break this mental dependency of chemicals. There must be an end to our existence as a pilloriented society with the false belief there exists a chemical answer to every problem. I challenge my classmates to explore other areas as viable alternatives to human conflict than the easy availability of a prescription pad. 3. Health care , as we now approach the 21st century, is no longer a privilege but a human right. Good health care should not be a commodity available to the highest bidder or purchaser . or should be it reserved for those with higher social incomes or social privy but its access to all people should forever be our vow. We must continue to democratize health care delivery to guarantee each person of high quality, affordable health care. There must be plans and efforts made to develop an equitable health care system or else "health care as a right" will remain only a slogan. Our responsibility as physicians is to provide each resident of the United States with the same high quality health care which the great from all over the world come here to receive. 4. Another problem to be resolved is the high cost of a medical education. The physician-to-be finds himself overwhelmed and heavily indebted with the huge expense from his medical education. The effect that this has on the delicate doctor-patient relationship is frightening. The rising cost of a medical education has rapidly emerged as a new discriminator as well as penalizer of those who desire to pursue a career in medicine . A solution must urgently be found or we will produce an elite corps of affluent physicians drawn from upper-income persons who only can afford the cost. FALL, 1978 25 Remnants of the Sixties by Clifton Peay Cli fto n Peay, Dr. Harr y M etcal f �I have deliberately used ideas that hold great significance to me. However, I challenge this class that in addition to the practice of medicine, to maintain a strong sense of social commitment. Finally, we can no longer afford to pay lip service to the concept of preventive medicine, it must become a reality if we are to pass life on to our off-spring. We must never forget this.D Dean Naughton's Address Louise Barbieri, Dr. Harry Metcalf Lois Palatnick, Dr. Pannill On behalf of the faculty of the School of Medicine I welcome the parents, relatives and friends of the candidates who will receive either the Doctor of Medicine, Masters of Science, Master of Art or Doctor of Philosophy degree. It is an honor to present these candidates to you for the bestowing of their degrees. The medical school class of 1978 is 139 strong, the largest single class graduated by this school during any of its 132 years. This class has proven itself particularly innovative, fertile and active. During its forty-five month association with SUNY-Buffalo its members, either as individuals or as an organized body, have made significant contributions to our institutional life. While too numerous to mention, some should be recalled because they exemplify each of our commitments to scholarship, patient care, institutional life and community interest. When the present era of the School of Medicine is reviewed, it is my opinion that your class more than any other will be credited with providing the necessary impetus for reforming a sense of espirit de corps and institutional identity within the school; and for making a commitment to and demanding a high level of academic excellence. The latter has been demonstrated by your performances on internal and external measures of intellectual achievement. While you were doing that, members of your class were making substantial contributions to other programs. Most significant of these should be considered your interest in the admission process and in opportunities to work in areas of primary patient care. Your class developed, pursued and implemented a program for student participation in the work of the admissions committee, and others sought and obtained sufficient funding which made it possible for medical students to work productively in an externship capacity during vacation time . There is no doubt that these two programs and others with which you were associated will continue for many years beyond your departure from SU Y-Buffalo . By all accounts you have performed well on the clinical services and you have shown a capacity for combining intellectual growth with compassion for patient problems. Your recognition as mature 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �students of medicine could not have been any better signified than through your nearly total acceptance to a large number of excellent medical centers throughout ew York State and the nation. Your acknowledgement of quality, dedication and the pursuit of excellence as important attributes of accomplishment is clearly demonstrated by your choice for this year's Iris Dedication. For all of your achievements the faculty and I offer our congratulations; for your promise in the future comes our expression of best wishes and good luck. Mr. Vice President, based on their accomplishments during the past four years, the faculty of the School of Medicine is fully satisfied that these graduates are prepared for, capable of and ready to assume the responsibilities entailed with the requirements of graduate medical education, and we are completely satisfied that each member of the class will exemplify the characteristics of dedication, charity, compassion, scholarship and understanding in the years ahead. More importantly, we are confident that they will place their responsibilities as physicians and citizens above their individual self-interests. For the faculty I am pleased to welcome them to a profession which so sorely requires their energies and talents.O Mr. and Mrs. Simon Shaham Dr. Calkins Honored Dr. Evan Calkins was honored by the 1978 yearbook, The Iris. He has been chairman of the Medical School's department of medicine for the last 17 years. He is heading a new division of gerontology that will focus on medical care of the aging. Dedication to Dr. Calkins: "Dr. Calkins, over the last several years, we have watched you walk down hospital corridors with your characteristic 'Calkins stroll,' and we have been amazed that despite the deep concern for often seriously ill patients, and for the future of medical education in Buffalo, you somehow managed to have a warm smile and perhaps a few encouraging words for those of us you met on your way. Many of us have seen you at a patient's bedside and have watched you instill in that patient a sense of warmth and reassurance simply by showing honest concern for his well-being. Those of us who have seen this have also noticed that when you leave a patient's room you somehow manage to leave behind a part of yourself that seems to give the patient peace in knowing that you truly care not about 'the gallbladder in 319' or about Dr. Y's review of the literature, but about him as a person. "Dr. Calkins, we the Class of 1978 acknowledge the concern you show for our education and for the welfare of our patients. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you, and to publicly dedicate this, the third edition of The Iris, to you for exhibiting the qualities which we believe are the signs of a truly outstanding physician - amiability, compassion, concern, courage, knowledge and understanding."D FALL, 1978 27 Sal DelPre te , Dr. Evan Calkins �Physicians Give to the Medical School In 1977 the Medical School received gifts from 790 physicians (through the U/B Foundation) totaling $146,608.65.

"One danger, just beginning to be recognized, is accidental hypothermia," he said. Dr. Brody's words on the subject are part of the written testimony submitted to the Public Service Commission (PSC] in opposition to the National Fuel Gas (NFG] Co.'s proposed 16 per cent rate increase. Dr. Brody also pointed out the tendency of senior citizens to pay a utility bill even when a Social Security or pension check cannot cover the cost of food and medicine as well. "There is a possibility that some senior citizens may be denying themselves proper diets in order to pay energy bills," he testified.D Senior Citizens The outgoing president of the Medical Society of Erie County suggested that the medical and patient communities and industry join in a partnership to hold the line on medical costs. Dr. Anthony J. Federico, clinical assistant professor of surgery, urged the society to take a leadership role in the medical community to curtail spiraling costs by supporting local health maintenance organization involving an independent practitioners association. "I believe we are on the threshold of a major change in the way we practice our profession. We must guide our patients responsibly through the best of quality medicine with regard to the most economical manner in achieving it." In conclusion, Dr. Federico said, "I would rather see the physician community join in partnership with industry and our patients rather than with the federal government through a national health insurance program."D Medical Costs Dr. Hilliard Jason, a 1958 Medical School graduate, is the director of a new National Center for Faculty Development at the University of Miami Medical Center. On July 1 the Association of American Medical Colleges terminated their operation of the Faculty Development Division.

Before 1974 he was a full -time educational consultant to the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications of the National Library of Medicine since July of 1972. From 1966 to 1972, he was the Director of the Office of Medical Education, Research and Development at Michigan State University where he was Professor of Medical Education, Professor of Psychiatry and Professor of Educational Psychology. Dr. Jason is a Canadian by birth. He received his Bachelor of Science degree at McGill University and his Doctorate of Education at UB.D Dr. Jason FALL, 1978 37 �Th e N e w Hospital Erie County Medical Center A 17-year dream has come true . The new air-conditioned Erie County Medical Center that took seven years to build after 10 years of planning opened July 15. The $113 million facility, dedicated July 9, is among the most modern medical centers in the nation. The new Grider Street facility is twice the size of the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, but has the same number of beds, 785. Under the 12-story tower is the three-story main building housing the clinics, radiology therapy, surgery, rehabilitation medicine , medical records and supply processing. Patient rooms are located in the four-wing tower. Each wing is equipped with a team conference center that replaces the traditional nurses' station. Each patient room has a "nurse-server" containing patient supplies and medications, a patient's chart and a space for storing fresh and soiled linens. Charts will be locked in the patient's room. At the center of each floor is an administrative control center designed for hospital personnel to clear entering patients, staff, visitors and supplies. Pneumatic tubes will link most hospital departments. Written messages, medications, specimens and false teeth can be sent through the tubes. Telephone-style button controls and an automatic empty carrier tube return gives greater efficiency to the hospital operation. Automated carts, running on a monorail system, distribute new supplies throughout the hospital. An ambulance ramp leads directly into the emergency room area and computerized patient monitoring systems. Menu items are prepared in a conventional manner in the hospital kitchen and blast-frozen for future use. Meals are not prepared for serving until they are delivered the the galley section designed to serve a 20-patient area. Visitors and staff members eat in the cafetorium, a combination cafeteria and auditorium.D 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Summer Fellowships TWENTY MEDICAL STUDENTS participated in the annual summer fellowship program, according to Dr. John Edwards, associate professor of medicine, who is program chairman. Each student received from $800 to $1,000 for eight or nine weeks of work in medical research in the basic sciences and community health problems. The program is funded by the American Cancer Society, Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education, and the bio-medical general research support grant. Four students, John Canty, Alan Smith, David Lipman and Jonathan Felsher, are continuing their research that they started in 1976 and 1977 when they won a summer fellowship. Others in the program include 12 first year students and 6 second year students.

There will be no major reform in the nation's medical schools until educators admit that there are significant problems, the chairman of medical education at the University of Southern California's Medical School said Monday. "We have five major problems, and perhaps the most significanL.one is an unwillingness to look at the problems," Dr. Stephen Abrahamson said at the President's Dinner of the Buffalo Academy of Medicine. Addressing about 90 persons in the Statler Hilton's Georgian Room, Dr. Abrahamson said educators should be concerned about the cost of medical education and the medical schools' dependence on federal grants and financing from other outside sources. Other major problems, he said, are administrative structures that place too much power in institutions' medical departments and pressure from outside groups with specialized interests. "Unfortunately, there probably won't be another major reform in the field of medical education until the problems become quite acute," Dr. Abrahamson concluded.D FALL, 1978 41 Medical Problems �Dr. Bosu Wins Award Dr. Bosu Dr. Sogba K. Bosu, M'69, won the exceptional employee award (1977) of the Memorial Hospital Medical Center, Long Beach, California. He is a clinical assistant professor of pediatrics (neonatology) at the University of California at Irvine Medical School. In making the award, the medical director of Miller Children's Hospital, Dr. Harry Orne, said "Dr. Bosu is my concept of the ideal physician. He is an unusually dedicated, caring, warm person who gives freely of himself in time and skills to patients, parents and the Center's staff." The sentiment was echoed by a member of Infant Special Care's nursing staff, who said, "He is the most wonderful man. He comes here at 4 a.m. even when he's not on call. He's here seven days a week, always." "I stay until my work is finished," Dr. Bosu explained his daily long hours which begin well before dawn and extend until late in the day, usually between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. The native of Nigeria came to the United States sixteen years ago to pursue his studies. He received his bachelor's degree from Cornell University, Ithica, .Y. Dr. Bosu took a three-year pediatric residency at Children's Hospital, Buffalo, and a neonatology fellowship at Children's Hospital, Montreal. He then served as research instructor in pediatric hematologyoncology at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute, Buffalo, the oldest cancer research institute in the world. Before joining Memorial, Dr. Bosu took up private practice in Long Beach with the Family Health Program, a prepaid medical group. He is secretary/treasurer of the Long Beach Pediatric Society and active in the Los Angeles and Orange County Pediatric Societies. In his limited spare time, Dr. Bosu swims, plays tennis and is an avid reader, particularly of military history. His greatest avocation, however, is politics. Fully versed in international politics, he intends to pursue a second career in this field if, upon his return to igeria within two years, the climate is right. His native country is currently undergoing a constitutional change from military to civilian government. If the new leaders fail to chart a course for Nigeria that Dr. Bosu believes is in the best interests of his people, then he will first seek political office as a congressman or senator and "someday will go for the presidency," he says.D 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Obese people tend to eat more when the amenities of the dinner table are plush, according to Dr. Sami A. Hashim, a 1955 Medical School graduate. An attractive goblet and a bit of candlelight tend to make obese people eat beyond their physiological needs. Dr. Hashim said that lean and obese volunteers were brought to the St. Luke's Hospital Center in New York City. It was here that the volunteers ate tasteless though fully nutritious food served in a variety of ways. First, the food was offered through a tube. "The obese patient reduced his intake drastically," Dr. Hashim said, "consuming about one-tenth of the calories he needed to maintain his weight." However, the lean subjects ate just enough to maintain their body weight. In this case both the obese and lean subjects consumed just the number of calories their bodies required. That meant that the obese were eating far less than usual because they were drawing upon excess reserves. Then the situation was changed to make eating the same food somewhat more attractive. Although nothing the researchers did to make the formula seem more appealing seemed to have any effect on the lean people, the obese subjects changed their eating habits drastically. "When we switched the automatic feeding from a tube to a paper cup," Dr. Hashim said, "the obese adult would consume twice as much. We put the formula in a crystal goblet and he doubled his intake again." The researcher went on, "We put a candle in the room and he consumed even more." When the obese subjects were told the feeding machine had broken down and were introduced to regular food, they ate still more. The hopeful note is this: The responses to those influences appear to be learned responses- and so they can be unlearned. "We've got to make the obese person less aware of the external, train him to listen to his internal and physiological voices," Dr. Hashim said.D Dr. Hashim Dr. Milton M. Weiser has been named professor of medicine. He comes to Buffalo from the Harvard Medical School where he has been since 1967. He has also been an associate physician at the Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1973 he was professor-incharge of gastroenterology at the Harvard-MIT program in health sciences and technology. Dr. Weiser received his M.D. from the University of Michigan in 1959. He did his undergraduate work at Wayne State University, Detroit. He interned at Southern Pacific General Hospital, San Francisco and was a resident at the University of Michigan Medical Center. In 1965-67 he was a postdoctoral special fellow (auspices of IH gastroenterology section) in the molecular biology department, Albert Einstein College of Medicine , Bronx, N.Y. He is a Diplomat, American Board of Internal Medicine , and is a member of several other professional associations. Dr. Weiser has authored or co-authored 30 scientific articles; seven abstracts; one book and chapters in four other books.O Dr. Weiser FALL, 1978 43 �Congenital Hypothyroidism Two PEDIATRICIANS are doing their part to minimize the effect of Dr. MacGillivra y Dr. Voorhees congenital hypothyroidism. Both Drs. Margaret MacGillivray and Mary Voorhess are trying to recognize the problem as close to birth as' possible. They are co-directors of the division of endocrinology at Children's Hospital and professors at the Medical School. Most affected children have subtle signs of the problem at birth, according to the two pediatricians. "We look for these signs during routine nursery examinations, but diagnosing the problem does not always mean mental retardation will not occur. Similarly, delayed diagnosis does not always result in retardation," Dr. MacGillivray said. A technique for screening newborns wasn't available until 1973, although methods to screen for less common problems causing mental retardation previously existed . The test is based on one developed in 1961 by Buffalo's Dr. Robert Guthrie, professor of microbiology and pediatrics, to detect phenylketonuria (PKU), a disease which often leads to mental retardation. A drop of blood from a newborn is collected on a filter paper and a small piece of it undergoes a process called radioimmunoassay. If the first test shows the presence of thyroid hormone is below a certain level, a second test using a drop of blood taken at a later date is performed. In the second test radioimmunoassay is performed to measure thyroid hormone and also thyroid stimulating hormone. Only a handful of states have yet to mandate screening using radioimmunoassay to test for congenital hypothyroidism. New York State 's Public Health Law was amended effective last July 6 to order screening of all newborns for the condition. However, because of state fiscal problems, statewide screening is not yet mandated. In Erie County local resources and CETA funding is being used for a pilot program to screen newborns at Children's and Mercy hospitals.D 44 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Dr. Rattazzi holds a cat just before an enzyme infusion experimen t, while Ms. Catherine Dawning, a technician, and ,\ lark Glosenger, second year medical and summer ,\larch of Dimes Fellow, look on. A cure for Tay-Sachs disease is theoretically possible, according to Dr. Mario Rattazzi, research associate professor of pediatrics. He has been encouraged in his research by the recent discovery of a breed of domestic cat that manifests a genetic disease analagous to Tay-Sachs. He recently received a $160,000 grant from the ational Institutes of Health to develop an "animal model" of Tay-Sachs and related diseases that could eventually lead to an effective therapy for human victims. Tay-Sachs disease is a storage disease, an inherited metabolic disorder that inevitably results in blindness, retardation and death before the age of five. This disorder strikes more Jewish families, especially those with ancestral roots in Central and Eastern Europe. Ashkenazi Jews run a far greater risk of carrying the potentially deadly gene, according to Dr. Rattazzi. "Everybody is a carrier for about six deadly genes. We don't know it and live happily. These genes are part of our makeup just like the genes for red hair or blue eyes," Dr. Rattazzi said. "All Jewish couples who want to have children should be screened," Dr. Rattazzi said. Children's Hospital offers this service for a nominal fee. If the couple both carry the gene, they are advised. They are told that, should the woman become pregnant she has recourse to amniocentesis, a procedure in which the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus is tapp ed. If the lysosomal enzyme Hex A is not found in this sample of amniotic fluid, the parents are advised that the fetus has Tay-Sachs disease. "If the fetus is affected we present the parents with the options. We, as geneticists, do not try to tell parents that they have to have an abortion. The decision is up to them. As genetic counselors, we have to take into account the moral and religious points of view of our counselees," Dr. Rattazzi said. The peditrician-researcher believes eventual treatment of Tay-Sachs disease based on enzyme replacement is possible, at least in principle. But a cure may be years of work away.O FALL, 1978 45 Tay-Sachs Disease ,\Is. Elizabeth ,\1.

"But we are making progress because government policy makers are taking notice." The Internationally-known gerontologist notes that there are more elderly people today and they are gaining political clout. Dr. Brody is also professor and chairman of the department of anatomical sciences at the Medical School. He is past president of the American Gerontological Society and a member of the advisory council to the National Institute on Aging of NIT. As a participant at an international meeting in France which attracted scientists in biology, medicine, sociology and psychology, voluntary retirement, financial security and other topics affecting the elderly were discussed. There were also reports dealing with anatomical and physiological process of aging, according to Dr. Brody. He notes that while senile dementia-a condition with symptoms that include loss of recent memory-is tied to morphological changes in the brain, and while aging causes a decrease in the number of cells in certain parts of the brain, scientists still don't know precisely what changes occur in the brain during various stages of aging. "Part of the basic researcher's problem is a lack of suitable animal models by which the aging process can be studied from birth to old age," Dr. Brody points out. Rats, for instance, must be more than 24 months old to be considered 'elderly.' But most grant monies are given for a limited three-year study which means that by the time the rat is at a prime age for study, the money may no longer be available. And although certain primates might be more ideal as animal models, it takes them 22 years to reach 'old age.' A hopeful note, however, is an ongoing NIA study of men who will have extensive medical and psychological tests during a 35-year period. A similar study with women is being planned by the Institute. Gerontologists, Dr. Brody explains, are interested in helping people live better, not necessarily longer lives. Some people may be disappointed that the scientists aren't instead seeking keys to immortality and eternal youth. "Our society is so obsessed with youth that it's a natural response for people to dread growing old. But no diet or quasi-medical regimens touted for wrinkle-free skin or eternal youthfulness exist today.'' There is no scientific evidence that massive amounts of Vitamin E, food combinations or injections of local anesthetics will deter aging. Dr. Brody believes heredity, more than diet or exotic panaceas, will be discovered to have more bearing on the speed and degree to which we age. "While it's good for people to practice preventive medicine through careful diet and exercise to perhaps lessen chances of debilitating medical problems, there's no evidence these measures slow down the aging process of body organs," Dr. Brody notes. While as a basic scientist, he's concerned with the physiological process and causes of aging, he is also concerned with the non-medical problems of old age. 46 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �"Some obvious things aren't being done nationally," he points out, "especially in the areas of transportation and security of the elderly." Assuming health care were readily available to all senior citizens, the problem of how they can get to this care is an enormous one, for many can't physically navigate even the steps of a public transit system. "The elderly are afraid of being 'ripped off'-a real and disturbing problem especially in urban areas. They're afraid to leave home, they're afraid to go shopping and they're afraid to be at home alone. What kind of life is that?" he asks. Dr. Brody concedes that in the area of building access, recent legislation mandating that all HEW-funded buildings be adapted for use by the handicapped will benefit many elderly as well. "But if public transportation isn't equipped with fewer steps or hydraulic lifts to enable the wheelchair-bound to get on the bus, the advantage of remodeled buildings will have been lost," the educator notes. "But we don't know how many people would choose voluntary retirement if they had no worry of how to pay utility and food bills, or the impact of delayed retirement on the overall job market. We also need to know what type of review system could be developed to determine employees' productivity so retirement, or continued employment could perhaps be based on the results," he says. "Is the 77-year-old physician who began jogging at 67 and has set new track records in his age group atypical or could others do the same? Or would many even want to?" Dr. Brody asks. The answers to these and other questions require more research, but the gerontologist says now we're looking at the problems and hopefully the answers will follow.D The Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics tried an experiment this year with the sophomore medical class. The purpose of the experiment was to make the students more aware of FDA drug regulations as well as help them develop communicative skills with patients, especially in regard to drug effects. Students were given the opportunity to write a Patient Package Insert for Meperidine Hydrochloride (Demerol) for extra credit on the final Pharmacology Examination. The Inserts were intially evaluated by departmental faculty, and the best were submitted to the FDA for an unofficial evaluation by Dr. Lloyd G. Millstein, Acting Director, Prescription Drug Labelling Staff, Bureau of Drugs, and Dr. Louis Morris, Supervisor of the Patient Package Insert Program, FDA. Dr. Robert Mcisaac, Pharmacology Coursemaster, announced that in the opinion of the evaluators, the best insert was written by David Duani, and the second best insert was prepared by Mary Anne Kierman. Honorable mention was awarded to Katherine Jasnosz, Thomas Masten, and Thomas Pullano. Fifty-nine students took part in the exercise this year. Dr. Millstein expressed great interest in the project and urged that it become a regular part of the department's educational program.D FALL, 1978 47 Patient Package �A Physician Faces Disseminated Reticulum Cell Sarcoma in Himself Part VII Response of Readers to Dr. Samuel Sanes' Article VI By Samuel Sones, M.D. And so, almost from the beginning, I came to see myself writing as an advocate of fellow patients and their families, even if, in doing so, I ended up as an adversary of physicians and other professional members of the medical team. Indeed, I feel so deeply about other cancer patients, especially those in the leukemia-lymphoma group, and so close to them and their families, that I am seized with a sense of guilt that- limited by my literary skill - I haven't written as clearly, strongly and empathically in their behalf as I should. * Writing for The Buffalo Physician means different things to me. * * * At best, it is a mental and emotional tonic. Anticipating my articles, planning and executing them, submitting them on time for press deadlines strengthens my morale and selfesteem against the depressive effects of my cancer and its treatmen!. * * * At worst, in writing my articles I impose upon myself (it may be the masochist in me) a couple of negative feelings, one of fear and one of guilt. * * * As for the feeling of fearOriginally I saw my articles telling simply the story of my own cancer and my own response to it. Hence the title of the series, "A Physician Faces Disseminated Reticulum Cell Sarcoma in Himself." But I have always been afraid that readers brought up on comprehensive reviews of the literature and reports of randomized studies on numerous patients will find my personal and anecdotal, selective and impressionistic narrative lacking in scientific significance and clinical relevance. * * * I soon realized that I was not alone - that I was not merely an individual physician-patient with my own disease and my own response to it, but one of many cancer patients facing similar problems. "Rehabilitation" and "Reconstruction" are recent concepts in the treatment and care of cancer patients. Progress in surgical, radiation, chemo- and immunotherapy has prolonged survival and increased chances for personal, social and occupational activities. Stroke patients have always been thought af as stereotypes for rehabilitation, particularly physiotherapy. Today rehabilitation may be becoming more indicated, applicable and productive in cancer patients. The Roswell Park Memorial Institute runs a busy Physiotherapy Department for both inpatients and outpatients. The department was set up with its present facilities just two years ago with Susan Barr as director. The photograph shows a practice staircase for patients in the RPMI Physiotherapy Department. Rehabilitation As for the feeling of guiltBefore I learned that I had disseminated cancer I had been a physician for 43 years and a volunteer in the American Cancer Society for 25. Yet until I was a cancer patient myself, I never really grasped all that it means for a person and his family to face cancer, particularly cancer of an incapacitating, painful, incurable type. * * But let's put aside discussion of my self-imposed fear and guilt. The basic question about my articles on communication in cancer is this: Does what I have written, in a personal and anecdotal, selective and impressionistic way (I've tried to be fair, though, by choosing positive and negative examples) possess validity for the every day practice of medicine - does it have meaning for the average physicianmember of the medical teampatient-family relationship? One source for an answer to that question is the comments which I have received from readers physicians and non-physicians - by word of mouth, telephone and mail. These comments answer a unanimous "Yes." (Readers with adverse criticism of my articles don't get in touch with me. Perhaps they don't consider it worth their time to criticize me.) You can judge for yourself. The editor of The Buffalo Physician has kindly decided to publish readers' comments to my six articles on communication as he did to my first five articles in the series. Here they are. COMME TS FROM PHYSICIA S From a UB senior medical student (now a physician) with Hodgkin's Disease Stage JIB, who was chosen by his fellow seniors to give a class address at the 1977 Commencement of the School of Medicine (excerpts from the address) Thank you all who made it possible for me to speak tonight and a special thanks to Dr. Sam Sanes and his articles on communication in The Buffalo Physician for helping me to formulate the following ideas. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA RECONSTRUCTION �At his admission to the RPM! Feb. 7, 1978, Dr. Sones' anemia, recurring fever and chills, muscular weakness and pain, etc., had made him an invalid. He couldn't dress himself in street clothes. He couldn't walk upstairs without help and support. He couldn't turn in bed from side ta side. One afternoon he slipped and fell to the living room floor. His wife had to telephone the police rescue squad to get help in lifting him up. On being admitted to the RPM!, Dr. Sones was placed in a daily physiotherapy program. When I started medical school I often joked with a friend of mine, a fellow orderly at a local hospital, on how we fought disease and death by collecting dirty linen from various floors. To say the least, the battle against disease and death is quite a bit more complicated and difficult .. Today 140 of us - as new physicians - will embark upon that battle with a measure of scientific competence certified by our diplomas. Yet as we leave here tonight there are two essential elements, besides scientific competence, of our profession which we must attain, which are not really taught in any formal lecture setting. Nor is any clinical rotation especially designed to provide these interpersonal skills and attitudes - the capacities to communicate with and have compassion for our patients and their families. Our exposures in medical school to these skills and attitudes have been varied depending upon certain faculty members with whom we have worked in school and hospital, clinic and office ... Becoming scientifically competent in the management of disease is a function of lecture halls and laboratories, clinical rotations, textFALL, 1978 books. Communication and compassion depend upon our personal orientation to the physician-patient relationship and the examples set for us by other physicians-faculty members ... Each of us has seen some physician proficient in his ability to communicate, to be compassionate. He or she is easily recognized by the medical student, house staff, nurses and above all by patients and their families ... The doctor who, in addition to making a diagnosis and prescribing treatment, finds time to sit down and openly discuss the diagnosis and its implications, or who will explain upcoming procedures and answer questions to release anxiety and doubts, is a complete physician. This completeness ought not to be excluded by the practice of a specialty or subspecialty ... As physicians we must realize that as individuals performing our scientific tasks we are replaceable. (i.e. Someone else can read that EKG, remove that gall bladder, or whatever.) What is unique to all of us is our personalities and the interpersonal dynamics which we apply to the physician-patientfamily relationship ... Tonight we leave here 140 strong - with a scientific competence for which our diploma certifies us - to pursue further training. We will need to add to the competence we've acquired in medical school the skills of communication with and compassion for the patient and family. This will require much effort, constant trial and error and self-discipline until each one of us can become the house officer or attending physician who is the complete doctor - a medical scientist and an empathic physician in one. * * I was on duty in the emergency room. An elderly black man about 70 years of age, retired but working part time as a security guard, came in with his middle-aged daughter. His only other close relative was a blind wife who lived as a recluse with him in a small rural town about 15 miles from Buffalo. The patient's chief complaint was severe pain in the lower back. The prostate gland was "frozen." X-ray films of the lumbo-sacral spine showed osteoblastic metastases. Neither the patient nor his daughter knew anything about a diagnosis of cancer of the prostate. Some time before, however, the patient had gone to a general practitioner in Buffalo with a complaint of difficulty in voiding urine. I telephoned the general practitioner from the emergency room. He had referred the patient to a urologist in a suburb adjacent to Buffalo who had done a transurethral resection. The pathological diagnosis was carcinoma. As far as I could find out over the phone, the urologist had not told the diagnosis to the patient or his daughter. (In this instance there was no question of talking to the blind, reclusive wife, but the daughter was Dr. Sones lifts weight with leg to strengthen quadriceps muscle (under supervision of Susan Barr]. Dr. Sones had severe quadriceps weakness which prevented him from getting out of a chair, walking independently and climbing stairs. * From a resident at a voluntary teaching hospital in Buffalo affiliated with the UB Medical School [word of mouth). Some of the residents, especially the foreign graduates, think your articles in The Buffalo Physician are classics. Residents not on the mailing list of the journal read the articles in the hospital library. Here's an example of fouled-up physician-patient-family communication which I ran into recently. I wonder about the factors involved. 49 d- �Dr. Sones strengthens arms with pulleys. His arms were weak from disuse, and with the weakened quadriceps he needed to rely on his arms more than ever. available for communication of the diagnosis.) He had referred the patient back to the general practitioner in Buffalo, who told me over the phone that he had informed the patient that he had cancer. The patient and his daughter vehemently denied having received this information. The fact is, however, that the patient was never scheduled for a follow-up visit with either the urologist or the general practitioner and received no treatment. I must mention that about this time in the relationship between the general practitioner and the patient the physician became ill with coronary heart disease and was off practice for some time. Of course both the patient and the daughter were most angry in their expressions to me that they had apparently not been told of the cancer. The daughter was especially so. I admitted the patient to the hospital for hormonal control of his cancer. What factors really went wrong here in the general practitionerurologist - patient - family communication? Whom to believe? * * * From a Buffalo physician who overheard an attending surgeon during a conversation in a hospital coffee shop complain about a newly-built surgical suite. (word of mouth) Why did they locate the new operating rooms so that the surgeon, after completing an operation, upon leaving "surgery," can't avoid encountering the patient's family in an adjacent waiting room? * * * From a Buffalo physician whose wife had recently died of carcinoma of the breast with metastases. (a phone call) Maybe you'll convert a few before the day of reckoning. For goodness' sake keep on writing. The Buffalo Physician arrived this afternoon and this evening I read your Article VIC. I just had to telephone you immediately. I have been reading your articles and should have been in touch with you before, but after my wife died I just couldn't come to terms with the subject of cancer. Her illness and death were too much for me. I want to tell you that everything you said about communication in Article VIC is the truth. I can't tell you the problems my wife and I had communicating with her physician. He had absolutely no empathy with us or our problems. Even though I myself am a physician, he would never take time out in the hospital to sit down and talk to me. I had to invite him to lunch to get enough of his time and attention to learn what I needed to know. Toward the end my wife confronted him with his lack of compassion. "Don't you ever think of me as anything more than a blood count?" she asked. From a general practitioner, not a UB graduate, in Massachusetts who is under treatment for histiocytic lymphoma (a letter) * * * From a general surgeon in New York State (a letter) I continue to enjoy your articles in The Buffalo Physician. Your complaints about physicians and malignant disease could be extended across the whole spectrum. I think a great many doctors are insensitive - mercenary - gods, etc., and it's always been something like that. I am particularly struck with the ones who are gods. When a situation gets out of control they have to get out so it will not come to their attention that they are ordinary persons. I have just finished reading "Informed Consent." It's really just about breast surgery but is something for a surgeon to think about. Somewhat more pessimistically than you, I think that many physicians are tradesmen - not very kind or concerned, many on ego trips and just can't stand anything that threatens them. I think that Medicine generally is in for a big kick in the ass. The days of the god-like physician are coming to an end. 50 * * * After reading about you and your fine work (on communication with families of cancer patients) in the October, 1977, Medical World News, I feel prompted to write. I also have histiocytic lymphoma - abdominal -discovered in July, 1976. Surgery was performed followed by 21 radiation treatments, then 6 weeks of induction drug therapy vincristine, streptomycin and prednisone. Since then I have been on maintenance of cytoxan, B.I.D. and prednisone for the first 7 days of each month. When I saw my oncologist about 10 days ago he informed me that he will stop my medication at the end of 18 months - March 31, 1978 - because it has been found that to extend medication beyond 18 months results in leukopenia, perhaps pancytopenia. My oncologist also informed me some time ago that I was in remission. I advised him to put on his records that it's a cure. He laughed and said, "I hope so." I am 67 years young, married and have 5 children. I am a GP and a Regional Medical Examiner. I would greatly appreciate hearing from you, telling me everything you possibly can about our histiocytic lymphomas. Dr. Sones strengthens trunk and hips through resistive exercise (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques) to enable him to turn over more easily in bed. �(Dr. Sanes' note: Physicians with the same cancer sometimes communicate with each other. It's interesting that in corresponding with this physician I learned that he had been on the staff of J.N. Adam Memorial Hospital at Perrysburg, N.Y., in the late 1940s. His first son was born in Buffalo.] * * * From a family practitioner in Indiana (a letter) Your article Part VI Dis excellent. "Pathology" and "Psychiatry" are surely at opposite ends of the spectrum as far as objectivity and subjectivity- the concrete and abstract - are concerned. And yet you would have made an excellent psychiatrist or family doc. * * * From a family practitioner in New Mexico (a letter) I've been following you through The Buffalo Physician. I think often of your attitude and approach to your illness. My father had "microscopic" prostatic CA diagnosed when having a TUR done for BPH 3 years ago. No gross abnormalities. Received radiation treatment and just this winter presented with osteoblastic lesions. His attitude is good and I really think that is helping. His internist is wonderful, but the urologist is a non-feeling, callous person. He is a "good" doctor as far as his strict medical responsibilities are concerned but he really flunks as a doctor when you really look at the patient. I think my father is about to switch physicians. It really is a humbling experience and makes you wonder why people like that urologist would even want to be in our profession. * * * From a public health physician in California whose wife had a coronary by-pass operation (a letter) I am stimulated to write of your articles Parts VIC and Din The Buffalo Physician. They are very good, to the point, and you do get your message across. I think sometimes that we physicians do not like to be associ a ted with "failure." This applies to chronic disease including cancer. FALL, 1978 Dr. Sones begins to walk in parallel bars when he is very weak. The failure will be a reflection on our professional ability. Thus when the point is reached when "nothing can be done" the physician tends to retreat just when he is needed more. You are so right- communication between physician, patient and family is crucial and in my experience not very well done by many physicians. For my wife's surgery, our chief communicator was a nurse in the surgeon's office. She reviewed things pre-operatively thoroughly. She communicated with me about every half hour while my wife was in surgery for 8 to 9 hours and postoperatively she was the one who talked to us specifically. Without her I think that I would have floundered dreadfully and I would not have been prepared for how ~ru­ ly waxy the patient looks Immediately post-op. * * * From a missionary physician in the Philippine Islands (a letter) Every time I read another of you.r installments in The Buffalo Physlcian I resolve to write my appreciation for each one. Then I lay the magazine aside and don't do anything about it. . I appreciated the articles on "communication." It takes on a different tone in different cultures, but still most patients and families want to know what to expect, etc. So when I feel a "lump" in the breast and take it out for a biopsy, and wait on the laboratory technician to freeze it and stain the tissue, "read" the lesion through our binocular microscope picked up in Buffalo 51 and come up with a diagnosis and decision of what to do, I usually tell the patient and husband why a radical mastectomy (or whatever] must be next. Perhaps the communication is less detailed and technical than back in western culture. Certainly it seems to be accepted with less outward show of emotion- not always, but usually. I'm sure it's because there is a very broad acceptance that God is still in charge and has reasons for the illness. He certainly is as far as our lives are concerned. It seems to me that one of the reasons the patient and family aren't clued in on such problems is that in the western society so many doctors are involved in a case that no one takes the initiative or feels responsible or expected to tell them. Of course there is the occasional attending MD who warns the others, "No one tells anyone anything. I'll do it." Then he does what he feels best and junior physicians feel bound to keep quiet. * * * From a professor of surgeryoncology in Louisiana (a letter) As a former student of yours who currently spends much of his time practicing and teaching the management of patients with malignant disease, I greatly appreciate your point of view and eloquent expression in The Buffalo Physician articles. If dDr. Sones walks in parallel bars against resistance (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques) to strengthen his gait pattern. �Dr. Sones walks up regular stairs with assistance of physical therapist after being graduated from practice staircase. there is a special emphasis in my teaching it is along the lines of "caring" for the patients and families as you express in such depths. You may be sure that your poignant, eloquent, beautiful remarks and stories will survive my teaching and those of my students and that your name will survive them. * COMME * * TS FROM PHYSICIANS NO From a retired public health nurse, also a wife, mother and cancer volunteer, with a 12-13 year survival from Stage IV lymphosarcoma and 1 112-year survival from cancer of the colon (a letter) When The Buffalo Physician arrived, I immediately read your article VI B. I liked your handling of that difficult subject. I found it straightforward. The case examples you used were evidence of the complexity of the problems. I found them easily understandable and wished cancer patients and their families could see the articles. Certainly you should not fear offending any physicians who do. ow for a little on communication on my side. I realize daily how much more complicated it is to communicate than we realize. Can anyone not afford really good communication? If you can use my material on communication you are more than welcome. In 1966 at the initial diagnosis of lymphosarcoma my internist told my husband and me that I would be dead in three years. I think my internist who gave me three years to live was very uncomfortable with the subject of lymphosarcoma because he thought that medical intervention is rarely helpful, does not influence the course of the disease and sometimes makes problems for the patient and family. In 1976 when I had my second primary cancer, adenocarcinoma of the colon, removed surgically, I had another experience with physicianpatient-family communication. The internist always made the prognosis sound rosy. I guess his intention was to be reassuring. At first my husband liked his approach. I learned to distrust the internist. The surgeon was informative, shared his evaluations, discussed alternatives freely and prepared me for the worst. It was the surgeon who convinced me that I ought to get well. Strange to say my husband in time learned to trust the surgeon more than the internist, who was a personal friend for many years. * * * From a former Buffalo nurse who became a nursing missionary and an ordained minister in her denomination and served many years in the Kentucky hills. Now retired and living in a small town in New York State (population 500), a town which has no physician, she is still ministering as a volunteer to the needs of the sick and their families including some with cancer. The nearest voluntary teaching hospital in 25 miles distant. (a letter) I received the 1977 Fall edition of The Buffalo Physician with Article VIC, so I had some interesting reading. It would seem to me that the doctors who read your articles should be alerted to better communication between doctor and patient and family. I learned something that I was not aware of ... that provision of the New York State Hospital Code on Patient-Family rights. I don't know whether Pennsylvania has the code incorporated into law 52 or not, but I have been amazed how careless doctors have been about telling patients and families what is taking place. I can understand that there is the "other side" of overconcern by patients and families and demanding calls, etc. My latest experience involved a great niece in Pennsylvania (a thirdyear college student] who wasn't feeling well. Her parents made an appointment for a medical checkup. She went into the hospital for a complete GI series, intravenous pyelography and all kinds of lab work. They had her in the hospital 10 days. The urologist scheduled her for a cystoscopy under anesthesia. Her parents were told that he would just work her in the next day as they had a heavy schedule (any time from 8 AM to afternoon). The parents went into the hospital and waited until their daughter was taken to the OR at 2 PM. They were not told that there was a place for them to wait outside of the OR. The daughter got into the recovery room at 4 PM and then to her own room about 5:30 PM. No doctor had showed up. So the mother asked the nurse on the floor why she and her husband hadn't had any word from the physician as to what had been found. By this time it was about 6:30-7 PM. The nurse said that she would call the resident. He didn't know anything as he hadn't been in on the case. The nurse suggested to the mother that she see if she could get hold of the urologist. She finally did, at his home. He inquired, "Hasn't the resi- Dr. Sones walks on level without devices or assistance. �dent seen you?" "But he hasn't been on the case," she replied. The urologist said he would call the resident and have him see the parents. All the resident had was a tape recording made at the time of cystoscopy but he did come and tell the mother and father that there had been no left ureteral orifice in the bladder. That meant the daughter "had been born with no left kidney." By that time the mother was really upset. She was told to return in the morning to see the urologist. She was at the hospital by 8 AM but the urologist had already been there and discharged the daughter to the care of the "medical man." I have kept my big mouth shut but I'm glad I wasn't in on the situation. I did say that I couldn't have imagined any urologist or surgeon whom I had known not making certain that parents knew what he had found. The interesting part is that the urologist had seen the daughter several times over the years since she was a small child because she had an occasional recurrence of a mild cystitis. So he knew the family. (He has never had to wait for payments of his bills, either.) I'll write later about my neighbor with Parkinson's Disease and poor communication. I get calls, "Ethel, what should I expect from this or that medicine my doctor just gave me?" If my old PDR doesn;t have the answer, I telephone the pharmacist about 11 miles away. * * * Besides physical advantages, the Physiotherapy Department at the RPMI provides psychologic benefits. Hope and optimism pervade the atmosphere of the department. The therapists are encouraging, supportive, personal in their attention and concern for the patient. Their lively, buoyant spirit is contagious. Patients find themselves looking forward to their therapeutic sessions as a pleasure rather than a workout. They take on a feeling of confidence, of determination to keep going and improving "day by day" as this poster on the wall of the Physiotherapy Department advises. From a Protestant minister in New York State, an American Cancer Society volunteer who has served as bishop of his denomination [a letter) It was in mid-October 1977 that I attended a Cancer Care and Clergy Workshop sponsored by the American Cancer Society. I carried away a portfolio of valuable material and in particular I was interested in the series of papers that you had prepared for The Buffalo Physician in respect to your own experience, no longer as "a potential cancer patient" but an actual one. Before I had the chance to read any of the papers, I was conversing with a neighbor who had just discovered that his sister-in-law had been diagnosed as a cancer patient, and hoping to be helpful to him and members of his family, I turned over the entire folio to him, "on loan." It was only yesterday that he returned it with much thanks. It was, therefore, only last evening that I read your exceptional papers. I thank you for them, and for the honesty and insight they reveal. I shall cherish the possession of them and hold them for frequent future re-reading. How very deeply your colleagues in the profession must feel an indebtedness to you for the perceptive and comprehensive way you have outlined problems and possible therapy as you have encountered them. As a non-medic, I certainly have gained much from your observations and comment.

FALL, 1978 53 �Of course it was with a frequent use of the dictionary that I made my way through them, but that was not too difficult, and as they were addressed to professionals it is quite appropriate that medical usage should characterize them. But it has occurred to me that what you have to say certainly merits a much wider circulation than simply the local medical fraternity, important as that is. Why not ask your wife to re-edit some parts of your observations in good newspaper English , as she is so well able to do, and to make your observations widely comprehended? I, for one, know a large number of People ministers who could profit enormously thereby, and as for men in our Seminaries, I should make your papers "required reading." And as one who has some appreciation of the Boston-Peabody tradition, I know how much they would be welcomed. Perhaps this note is already too long, and that was not my intention originally. It was rather to salute you as a wise and consistent teacher, physician and friend. Perhaps you are now doing some of the best teaching you have ever done -and hopefully it may be to a wider audience than you ever expected to reach, and with an ex- Dr. Erwin eter received The Golden Medal of Merit and a Diploma from the German Government of the State of BadenWurttemberg at the Castle Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart, in April.

I had not realized that this occasion would be memorialized in quite this fashion. Several months ago it occurred to me that someday someone might be interested in recalling the history of our department. While the events were still fresh in my mind I prepared some notes concerning two phases of our program which particularly interested me - the recruitment of research-oriented full-time faculty, and the development of our inter-hospital house staff program. When our office was contacted for some "background material" for the article, it was thought that this material might be helpful. I had never intended, however, that these comments would provide the basis for what might be interpreted as a review of the overall accomplishments of our department. As it stands, the article creates a decidedly odd and, I believe, erroneous impression, both of our history and our goals. I hope, therefore, that I might be permitted to provide these additional comments. There is no question that two decades ago the department was suffering from severe constraints of budget and laboratory facilities. As a result, the research effort was limited in scope. The quality, however, was good. In addition to strong, though focused, programs in cardiology, nephrology, and rheumatology, the department was distinguished by the presence of one of the country's strongest research and training programs in the area of allergy, under the direction of Dr. Carl Arbesman. The fact that this program was housed in a makeshift annex and received essentially no University support whatsoever conveys, I believe, an important lesson to those who attribute our present problems to shortage of University funds and space. The most unique characteristic of our department at that time, as it had been for many years, was its excellence in the teaching of clinical medicine. Under the leadership of my two distinguished predecessors, Drs. John Talbott and David Miller, our School had enjoyed the presence of two distinctive teaching services, each of which provided an excellent setting for the teaching of medical students Bottom row: Drs.

Throughout the decade of the 1950's, the Department of Medicine at the Buffalo General had attracted an excellent house staff, many of whom brought backgrounds of experience at a variety of different medical schools. With Dr. Talbott's encouragement, a number of the graduates of this program had gone on to fellowship training in some of the strongest specialty programs in the country. Some had already been "woo'd" back to the department; others were eager to return to make their careers here. These people have provided a wonderful reservoir of leadership and strength throughout the course of the past two decades. At the Meyer Hospital, despite its notable deficiencies in architecture, Dr. Miller had, through his personal example, developed a truly remarkable teaching program for students and house staff. To have served under his leadership has had a major impact on the lives and careers of everyone who had this privilege. A number of the graduates of this program have continued to devote their energies to patient care and teaching at this hospital and are recognized by the students and house staff of the present day as among the strongest and most helpful clinical teachers in our program. A number of other graduates have entered private practice in the Western New York area, and contributed very FALL, 1978 effectively to the level of patient care in this area. Thus, when I was asked to join the department 17 years ago, there was an abundance of strength upon which we could and did build. In particular, I acknowledge the privilege of sharing responsibility for department leadership with David Miller over a period of several years. He taught me much about people and academic medicine; the opportunity to work with him has been one of the happiest dividends of my "Buffalo adventure." I cite these points simply as illustrations of the obvious fact that while the researchoriented dimension cited in your article represented an interesting and important aspect of the life of our department, I do not think it should be regarded as the "central theme." If I were to characterize this theme, I would use the words "diversity" and "commitment to teaching and to patient care." I cannot hope in this letter to put in perspective the many developments in which I have been privileged to participate. As I view them now I believe that two deserve special mention. The first is the extension of our teaching activities to involve many institutions throughout the city. The first example, of course, was the increasing participation of the Department of Medicine at the V. A. Hospital under the able direction of Dr. J. 57 d- �Aquilina. This hospital, which served as the site of the initial subinternship program about 14 years ago, has played a role in several other innovative programs, notably the "Saturday morning clinics" and initial efforts at teaching the "Mechanisms and Manifestations of Disease." The V.A. Hospital has also served as the focal point for the Physical Diagnosis course, and now participates in all aspects of the teaching program. Other examples include the increasing involvement of faculty members at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute, the development of a broad range of teaching programs at the Millard Fillmore Hospital, the unique cooperation between the Departments of Medicine and Family Medicine at the Deaconess Hospital, the development of good programs in general medicine and in several subspecialty areas at the Buffalo Mercy Hospital, the establishment of the Maternal Health Service at the Children's, and, most recently, the decision to develop a teaching program at the Sister's Hospital, with the ap- pointment of Dr. John Edwards as chief of medicine there. Paralleling this has been a sustained commitment to student teaching. I believe that the two most important developments in this area have been the continued evolution of the third year clerkship, and the steady growth of the subinternship and elective programs in the fourth year. Thus, the Department of Medicine has attempted to achieve a healthy balance between a sound program of clinical teaching and a strong commitment to biomedical research. Both facets have been and are still important. We hope that future developments will permit us to continue to maintain this balance. If the "going" becomes difficult, however, we could not do better than to recollect the example of people like John Talbott, David Miller, Carl Arbesman, David Greene, John Boylan and many others, who showed us how much can be accomplished with limited resources and under difficult circumstances.
